In com parlson with which a thatched cot tage Is an establishment de luxe. The householdor will personally lay the ring of foundation stones for the hut, then fell the young trees from the nearest wood, a friend helping with the framework of tree trunks. Onto this frame he placid layer upon layer of straw, and, fastening all down, completes his building by leaving a tiny chimney-hole at the top. Running Brook a Luxury. llappy Is she whose man has had the good sense to build a capanna with h brook running In front, so she may be hpared the toll of a couple of miles' tramp under a broiling sun with a heavy basket of clothes on her head to accomplish the family wash. An orange tree on one side of the hut and a prickly pear tree covering the wall on the other side Is the sole conces sion to elegance. Should the bride wish to attempt any cooking, she will have to make friends with a neighbor, for the average newly married couple's capannn has no furnace. In time, If things prosper, both working together, they may accom plish a furnace of stones, and leading on from this the next ambitious achievement will be a little thatched pen, like a miniature Indian wigwam, for the pig. The donkey, hens and ducks will continue living with the family untlf such a time as the two are in a position to provide a rough, oblong shelter. Indeed, by dint of sheer perpetual hard work, grit and continual self-denial, they might man age Well enough were It not for the curoe of the Campagna?malaria. Country of Yellow Faces. Even yet, in spite of continued ef forts on th<* part of the government, the Campagna remains the "country of the yellow faces," where malaria has so changed the blood of sturdy farmers, vigorous llshermen. strong, healthy shepherds and charcoal burn ers that they crawl about like so many corpses until death seizes them. The poor wretch In the throes of tertian fever, finding no comfort on his wretched pile of straw that serves for bed, asks his wife to light r, fire, and immediately the room is choked with wood smoke, for which there is insufficient escape. In the throes of a deadly chill, he drags himself outside to borrow a little warmth from the sun, and he and his wife wait with dumb fatality for the fever to abate nnd bring a more or less prolonged resplto, or for the heavier fever that brings release. More often than not both sufi'er together. For tin* majority the doctor is more or less a chimera, an un get at-able person who lives in the fortress stronghold* of the mountains. More over, how can people whose sole Idea of luxury is an occasional treut of black dough flavored with bacon and lamb And the money to pay his fee, let alone the horse to act as convey ance? So one accepts the Inevitable and either dies or recovers; and, of course, there Is quinine, which the government now supplies gratis iu manv districts.
