IT IDLE to talk Of the vices as q
sisterhood. There may be association,
but no affi'iat,on. Knaves may be COM
paLions, but not friends. The vain dis.
like the van the proud hate the proud /;
the cove,ous abhor the covetous. But
the virtues are never at war. The just
love the just; the chaste esteem the
chaste the benevolent admire the ben
evolent Ia short all good things har-
mon. re all bad things are discordant,
both with the the good and with each
other.

PRESENT CONDITION OF SPAIN
Spain has long been looked upon as .
used up country. Statistical returns.
however, of the population tell a different
story. Spain is about twice the size OF
the State of Missouri, but on this area
it has nearly fifteen times the population
Of that State, nearly fifteen and half
millions. There are four cities in the
kingdom whose population exceeds 100.
600; Madrid being the largest, and
numbering 2sl,l7o. There are five
cities havir g population ranging from
10000 to 10000.
SPANS imports grew from 100000
in 1850 to 77,OOO,OuO in 1889. There
are is Spain 43l English miles Of nav'g-
able canals, 524 miles Of railroads finished,
$40 miles 10 progress, and $3.50 more
authorized. There are also 1898 niles
of telegraph in operation. The public
revenue of Spain tor 1859 was estimated
at $4,000, 900, the total expenditures
$4,000, 900. About 100000 of her
children are in schools. The humber OF
religious fuuctionaries has been reduced.
A hundred years ago they were estima-
ted at near 2lO.OOu, or one to forty-three
of the population. Now they count
about $4,000, or one 20 275.
MONEY SPENDISG.-Therc ia one
thing l would be glad to see parents uu-
ders'and, namely, that when they spend
money judiciously to improve and adorn
the house, and the ground around it,
they are in effect paying their children
a premium to stay at home, a. much as
possible to enjoy it; but when they spend
money unnecessarily in foe clothing and
jeweIry for their children, they are pay
ing them premium to spend their time
away from home, that is, in those places
where they can attract the most .at,en.
ton and make the most display.
