were no idle folk in Majorca. Out
door labor of some kind is continuous
the year round. All the women spin,
knit or weave, nnd I have never en
tered a peasant’s, cabin where moth
ers and daughters were not in some
such manner employod. Hospitality
is charming, naive and whole hearted.
The plate of figs, basin of almonds
or basket of oranges, with the whole
some wines of the country, ore over
•ready for the friend or stranger's
coming.
I thought I had partaken of that
drink of the gods, horchata, iu Cuba.
It is simply the pulverized kernels of
the almond, to which water and
sugar are added. Here where tho
almond grows in the greatest per
foctlop every housewife preserves
huge jars of the finest nuts for lior-
• chain. • Tho old mortar nnd postlo are
here for their grinding. The shells
and brown husks are removed and
quarts of tho snowy powder are liter
ally ‘‘leached,” the creamy liquid
filtering slowly through. Thonsenora
or senorlta adds a spice of flavor,
tamarind or pomegranate, or perhaps
a dash of wine, with hor own fair
hand. It is food and drink. And it
is no wonder that iii Majorca tho on-
tiro peasantry live sumptuously on
daily wages averaging loss than
twenty conts for men and fifteen
cents for women the year through
when ovory manner of nature’s most
royal food is at every door for the
taking, and in such bounteousness
that whero it ripens it is valueless
and without pice.
Somehow there grows upon one the
winsome notion thatyou have known
all these lowly folk before; that you
have seen their festas and known
tholr songs in the sunny vales of
Cuba, over in the glowing volley of
Ouines; that you have come upon
their brightness and cleanliness
among tho Alps of Switzerland; that-
their generosity nnd hospitality were
met in Connemara nnd Donegal ; that
their thrift and frugality have their
congener among the Pennsylvania
Dntoh, and that their love of homo
and simple villngo ways carry yon to
the ploasant mountain vales among
the shining English lakes. Surely
they are an idyllic iieople in an idyl-
ha land.
Want is unknown: crime is un
heard of. There is no politick in Ma
jorca, nnd hut ono religion. All
this in tiino may ilhimgo. But as 1
know it, nnd you can know it, now,
little Majorca, fnsliioncd in match
less hoauty bonenth a smiling aim, is

Interviewing tlto Khedive.
Khedive Towfik was an early visor.
Ho was in the lmliit of either begin
ning bis reading of oflloinl reports or
, walking in his gniilen in tho cool sun
rlso hour. Ono morning, returning
to tho palace from 11 walk in tho gar
dens of G lii Kirch, ho was stopped by
s, sentry,
“Yer can't go in 'ore, yor know,”
said tho man of war, with tho Brit
on's nmialilo contempt for tho fut lit
tle ‘furiuor.’
‘‘But I belong to the palace," fill-
terod tho kliodivo, delighted.
“Oh, do yor? Got a good place?'
“Very good,” said Towfik, diffi
dently.
“Ah, yor look lllco it, Bustln
times, I suppose. Nothing to do and
plouty to eat I wouldn't mind serv
ing your master. Would ho stand
si:; shilling a day? Wluvt sort of fel
ler is he?”
And then, nlns! tho sergeant com
ing around recognized nnd saluted the
khodive, to tho vnst diHcomfort of
Thomas Atkins and to tho chagrin of
his highness, who would fain have
heard more about himself, aud who
probably had never received a inoro
sincere offer of service.—Blackwood’s
Magazine.
THE SEALS’ CRY8TAL PALACE.
Twenty Thousand Doll era* Worth of Seal
skins In Might, bnt Ont of Reneh.
Once it hapiiened that one of the
polar icebergs was so ingeniously
shaped by the warm waves that,
when it snapped in the middle and
fell over on its side, ono portion of it
rose with the honeycombed part
toward tho water, thus making the
iceberg an ice palace filled with many
n crystal grotto which, rising story
upon story, stage upon stage, con
verted tho translucent mountain into
a floating crystal palace with trans
parent walls.
It would have been a pity if such a
gorgeous palace bad passed away,
with never on inhabitant to profit by
its existence, and so it was fortunate
that it was discovered by a troop of
seals migrating southward.
The seals might just as well have
swarmed ovor the outside of tho ice
berg, as they had ofton done in pre
vious cases; but possibly they recog
nized the advantages of having a
roof ovor their beads and conse
quently dived down and come up in-
ride of tho crystal palace. Anyhow,
whatover their reasons, that is what
they did.
By hundreds and by thousands
they clambered up the irregular in
ner walls, occupying the grottoes
and ledges till tho palauo was crowd;
ed to its full uApaidty with the noisy',
active creatures.
They might easily have been nn
comfortable in their splendid palace
had not uccidentcomoto their relief.
The warm air from their bodies and
their warm breath rose to the top of
the ieelsfrg and fortunately found
thin spots in the roof and melted
holes, so thnt places of escape for the
bad air were mode.
Of oourse, this air being worm, no
eooner reached the colder atmosphere
outside than it condensed like steam
and rose a white, column above tho
palace,looking very much like smoke,
Indeed, a soiling vessel passing
that way thought it was smoke, and
the captain changed his oourso to go
nearer the iceberg, hoping to save
the lives of Borne shipwrecked soil
ore, who, he supposed, luul built
flro on the berg.
Fancy your own astonishment at
coming upon a crystal palace in mid-
ocean inhabited by thousands of seals,
and you may. then understand bow
the captain aud his crew felt when,
looking through the clear walls of
the stately structure, they saw the
oountless animals in conscious secur
ity playing or sleeping in tho fairy
like chambere.
The captain bewailed his lot that
there wore $20,000 worth of sealskins
in sight, but out of reach.
It was disapitointing for tho cap
tain, hut it was tolerably comfortable
for the seals, who take more interest
iu sealskins when tiles* wear them
than when human beings nuilco coats
of them.—John B. Coryell iu St.
Nicholas.

LOVE'S HYPOCRISY.
Preparation for the Stage.
It is related of Lester Wallack that he
always inquired of every female appli
cant for entrance into the profession
whether sho had been married, buried n
child, quarreled with her husband, and
suffered poverty. If not, he told her
these were requisites for the portrayal of
the cardinal emotions and for simulation
of experience with the stem realities of
life. Whether Unit is a mere tradition
of the stage or not, it is certainly truo

How a Ship Grows Old.
If a ship is strictly A1 and well
cared for rite will hold her rating for
twelve years. Then she must he
carefully examined, and if found in
good condition her rating may be
continued four years longer. But
long before the end of the twelve
years the captain is careful not to
carry on sail as he did tho first trip.
Even with the fair galo tho topgallant
sails are furled and the mainsail
clewed up—she is getting “tendor”
and must be watched. If slie has
aged pretty fast, as she would under
a captain disposed to “drive" her, the
chances are that the ambitious cap
tain gets out of her and into a new
ship. A new man takes tho old sliip,
and then she drops out of the general
merchandise trade to Trisco, or the
China tea trade, and carries guano or
coal.
When a ship has carried cargo for
fifteen years, even under favorable
conditions, she is an old ship. She is
likenu overworked horse; sho tot
ters on her way. In a heavy sea she
is a long time rising on the swell3.
for sbo has lost much of her buoyan
cy. Lnst of all, she goes into tho
lumber trade, and there wallows her
way from port to port until some
day her hones are laid upon a lee
shore or sho fails to rise when some
heavy wave strikes her, and thus
adds one moro to the already appal
ling list of the “mysteries of tho
sea.”—Providence Journal.

Cats Play With Mine for Practice.
Cats wo often accused of being

they have of teasing nnd torturing
• tho prey they catch before killin'* it.

phrnso that lips passed into a prov

inasmuch as pussy always secures
her game by pouncing, this playing

Fun That Didn’t Pan Out.
“The other day a real smart young
man came aboard," said Captain
Leale, of the El Capitan, “and he
came up to chat with myself and two
young ladies before tho boat started.
Next to the ladies sat a Chinaman.
The smart young man began to nod
toward the blue bloused heathen and
make all sorts of grimaces. Ho kept
up his pantomime for some time,
showing off before those girls in the
endeavor to establish a reputation
for dare devil fun. The Chinaman
eyed him with that stolidity which
the race has accumulated through
generations of starvation. Finally
my o’erbright friend tired of his
monkey shines and said:
“ ‘Just watch me have some fun
with that Chinaman.’
“ ‘Oh, no; you’ll not have any fun
with me,’ answered the brown man
in English.
“All the smartness left that bright
youth. Ho was the cheapest buy on
the human market. It was the first
time I had ever seen him done up.
He reddened, became all bands and
feet and silently stolo away, step
ping on himself as he wont.
“ ‘I think I had more fun with him
than he had with me,’ remarked the
Chinaman. ’Ratheratiresomoyoung
