SPANISH HOSPITALITY.
0 ' ■
Tht Entertaining Keep* th* Quote
Buiy Till Late at Night.
In the house* %e knew in Anda
lusia tie* men obliterated them
selves ail day, the ladie- went t*»
ma-s in the monfhig and iqic-nt the
re-i of the time sitting m flower
decked balconies, fanning softly
and talking to canaries and cocka
toos.
After weeks of travel the pros
pect of re-t in such an environment
was not unattractive, ami I con
templated adapting myself to the
wav? of the household and the hal
eonv with much pleasure. With
burnt? good novels bought in Mad
rid, fate could not harm hip for a
few davs at any rate. BuJ, while
dressing in my cushioned and scent
ed houdoir it was borne in upon me
that the atmosphere of this palacio
was not so serenely dull a- the
houses of Andalusia. The smart
freshness of the house was too ob
vious, and certainly the dona did
not look like a woman who found
anarics intellectually satisfying.
Waiting for us in the drawing room
with the don and dona was a voting
man introduced simply as “Mari
ano.” the nephew of soinebodv. Nor
do I know to this da\ what was
Mariano’s other name. ‘That was a
trivial detail, hut his ancestors
were verv serious, lb* represented
me of the old Moorish families who
for reasons of love or money had
remained in Spain after the fall of
Granada, and bis solemn eyes and
blue black liair and beard made
him h rare example of tin* persist
ence of race type. I’aquita. a pret
tv voting girl, was a semidetached
ineinlar of the family, the dona’s
goddaughter, living on another
floor of the palacio, who had come
in “to see us eat break fast. ”
On the don's arm 1 went the
length of the house to the dining
room, where the table was prettily
laid with a few flowers, picturesque
wine bottles and primly arranged
fruit baskets. It was appalling to
find ourselves placed at the head
and foot of it, but they proved to
be literally seats of honor, with no
duties attached. Everything was
served by two little maids as pretty
as their names, Sgrafina and Lijan
dra, in- peasant costume, ami the
dona wore throughout the meal a
look of restful unconcern.
We were hardly seated before
visitors began to arrive. Each
shook hands with every one pres
ent, including a superannuated
housekeeper on a divan in a fur
corner, then joined us at the table,
taking cigarettes and sherry. .Noth
ing else was offered them, while we
enjoyed course after course. At
tirst we rose when introduced, but
they always protested vehemently,
and, seeing that the family remain
ed seated, we did likewise and found
it the only reasonable plan, as dur
ing the meal we had hull' a dozen
callers, and each one shook hands
all around twice. We were still at
the table when the tartana was an
nounced at I o’clock.
The line arts exhibition was the
tenter of social interest, and we
were plunged without warning into
tlu* mid't of it, spending the after
noon hi a elia'os of introductions,
music, pictures and light refresh
menu.
Dinner at 8, except for a few
more sweets and visitors, was like
the previous meal. At 10 wo hur
ried to the theater, and I was limp
lv thankful to leave at midnight,
though the play was not over and
a gay party protested against our
going so earlv.
Arrived at the palacio, the don
Gapped his little gloved hands, aud
a voice from tin* distant darkness
• ailed. “Yoy corriendn” (“I come
running'*), though the step- wore
'low and shuffling. In my impa
tience it seemed a- if the don might
have carried his own latchkey until
the vigilante prod need it from a
bunch containing tin* keys of all tlu*
house? in the block, each weighing
about half a pound.
He also provided a long wax’ta
per to light us upstairs, and after
firmly refusing anything more to
cat or drink we made our elaborate
good night speeches, shook hand
with every one in sight and retired.
The dav seemed to be over, but
wc had yet to reckon with the -ere
no. falsely so called, who walked up
uud down, tapping the street with
his staff, proclaiming the hour, the
state of the weather or anything be
thought might entertam the people
fie was keeping awake. - Ellen
Maury Slay den in Century.

lii Belgium the railroads have a
systematic method of collection of
newspapers left in the cars, and the
papers are afterward turned to ac
count. The vear’s collection, it is
-aid. amounts to 100. non kilograms
or about 100 tons. After being re
lated to pulp the paper is remanu
factured into rough paper for way
bills of the state line?, and the tick
eu are also said to he obtained from
the old newspapers.
ENGLISH SWORDS.
They Go Through Sixty or Soventy
Proces.ts In the Making.
In ihe first place, remarked the
uml king a- v* e walked I tirough
4 l»iif London factory, we make
.(i.oiio -words a year and hope to
ii mi making more in spite of all
• pe.ti e conferences in the world.
Vou must know that all our steel
!'.'(lines from Sheilield in fourteen
foot each one and a hall
•nchps wide.
Kvcrv first ela-s sword takes ten
da\s to make and goes througli six
: or .-event> processes. It
i- then tested bv being screwed into
,t kind of toy cannon and brought
down Hat with great force on a
steel table, which is covered with a
wire cage in case of any accident.
After the surface lias been proved
the hack and edge are struck
against a small block of oak, the
final test being that of bending and
the Toledo proof of thrusting
against solid iron.
The regulation sword for an in
j fantrv officer costs £4 la. Cavalry
word- are much more expensive,
.the regulation weapon even for
troopers in the Imssar regiments
co-ting £■<;. Ihi--ar officers also wear
full die-- inaineluke svitniters at
, nr* f.'s. each and must possess court
| - words. with hilts of cut steel, which
usually ro-t Hitt.
i The dragoon's sword costs as
i much a- its |iis., although the high
ly ornamented weapons worn bv
' general- and admirals of the fleet
cost hut £7 .to IS each.
The same price is paid for the
weighty claymores used in all high
land regiments. But the Scottish
officer of expensive tastes may pay
from £2<» to £3O for his dirk if he
de-ires one set with rpal cairn
gorms.
Os course presentation swords
run into a lot of money. Some time
ago we had an order from the for
eign office for a sword for a dusky
monarch.
The pattern of the blade was spe
< iallv designed aud inscribed. The
scabbard was of fishskin, mounted
with '!'! carat gold, and the weapon
cost £BO. Many swords costing
over £IOO, however, ate made for
foreign officers, and a superb weap
on, ornamented with ivory, gold,
silver and precious stones, which
was recently ordered for the king
of Siam, cost, no less than £750.

Curious Casa of Mirage.
M. Flauunarion, the French as
tromomer, ha< written much on mi
rages and lias actually photographed
the bridges over the Seine, with the
river and the buildings in the im
mediate vicinity, seen from Paris, in
verted in the skv. He also records
a curious case of mirage experienced
bv French troops in Algiers. What
appeared to be a number of Arab
horsemen were suddenly seen mov
ing toward the French camp from
; the horizon, and scouts on horse
! back were at once sent, forward to
| reconnoiter, but when they had gone
j about a mile they became curiously'
distorted and seemed to be giant
horsemen riding horses several
yards high. On their return they
reported that the Arabs proved to
be a Hock of flamingoes moving by
the side of a lake, which at a certain
distance, owing to the curious state
of the air, were changed out of all
resemblance to themselves and as
sumed the exact appearance of the
Arab horsemen they were at first
. believed to be.
