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. Discarded Pipers. 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. London Answers. * 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. Still Useful. A small girl, lost at Coney Is land. was kindly cared for at the po j lit e station until her parents should he found. The matron, endeavor [ mg to keep the child contented, had given her a candy cat. with which I she played happily all day. At night the cat had disappeared, and the matron inquired if it had | been lost. "No,” said the little maid. “I kep' it most all day. But then it got so dirty 1 was ’shamed to look at it. so 1 er it."—Youth's Compan ion. Monty Worry. “IVv ain't no use." said Brother Williams, “ter try ter git money w’en you ain’t at de gin in’ place, an' de trouble is—de jingle er it is so confusin'! Hit’s Ink’ de rattle er ta rattlesnake—vou dunno whar an’ what time ter jump! Hit’s trouble ter git money an' trouble ter keep it. Hev despise you es you ain’t got, it, en' es so be you lias de\ 'll despise vou es you don’t give it away!”— Atlanta Constitution. Slandor. A clergyman of a country village in New Jersey desired his clerk to give notice that there would lie no -ervi. e in the afternoon, as he was going to officiate with another cler gyman. The clerk announced at tiie Hose of the service, “1 am de sired to give notice that there will Ise co service this afternoon, as our minister is going a-fislxing with an other clergyman.” l : FLOUR MILL : !i IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY!
