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 tho ono land of plenty nnd eon tout, Majorca Cor.

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.

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.

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.

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 man, don’t you think?’ ’’—San Fran cisco Examiner.
