are not of the highest order. An earth
floor, not even smooth. Walls festOoned
with cobwebs of great age, and the dust
Of many months; A very dirty, square

narrow benches. A raised platform,
built of bricks and mortar, with cavities
for fire to he kindled in cold weather.
Fires, when needed, are kept up day and
night, and the platform for bed by night
and "sittingroom" by day; bed cloth

hot water brought in by landlord for tea
and toilet purposes. Charge for six

to seventy cents. The lady remarks.

Spanish Securities.

Spaniards rate money at its extreme
value, their favorite motto being, "No
friend save God and dollar in yo,lr
pocket" In old Spanish houses there
is generally very clever'y-contrived
secret receptacle for money, akin to the
"secret drawer" Of the Old-fashiOned
English desk; and even now this secret
cupboard is much used, the Spanish idea
of security being-(an idea founded on
bitter experience Of many years to
cage the windows in iron bars, lock mp
the houses at night, i'll winter, draw
around one Of the family, look at the
money, and then: "Why, am very safe:
all / love and all I need is contained
within the four walls Of my casa.
Their distrust Of banks and Government
securities is universal.

Colonel Gardner Takes an Appetizer.

There lives in the vicinity of Wooster,
down in the wilds of Wayne County, an
ancient veteran of the Mexican war who
is known as Colonel Gardner. The
Colonel has in his declining years ap-
piled himself very steadily to the task of
paving off the national debt. and the tax
on the amount Of tangle-foot, consumed
by him in a year materially augments
the internal revenue receipts of his dis
trict. One warm day last summer, his
stock Of ardent ha:ing given out, the old
gentleman mounted his horse and rOdetO
the village drug store to replenish the
same. The proprietor of the pill foundry
was absent at the time of his arrival, and
the assistant was green country boy,
whose knowledge Of the drug business
was yet to be gained. The Colonel
ordered the young man to measure him
ont quart Of whisky. The youth took
down IA large jar, the contents Of which
rcsemhled the desired article in appear
ance, and filed the bottle, with which
the Colonel ambled off home On the
return of the druggist about an hour
later, he took look at his array Of Ii
quids, and inquired of his deputy the
name of the person buying SO much sui
phuric acid II didn't sell any acid; the
only one in was Colonel Gardner, who
came after some whisky" replied the
boy.
"What jar did you get it from?"
shrieked the excited maker of pills.
"That un," said the apprentice, point
ing to the nearly emptied jar of acid
"Great guns! you've pisoned him, !"
hOwled the drug store man, and, seizing
his hat, shot down the street toward the
Gardner mansion like special dispatch.
On approaching the house he saw the
Colonel sitting on the veranda tanning
himself vigorously, and ruefully survey
ing the charred remnants of a news
paper which were scattered about, while
the sweat which poured off him formed
in little pools about him.
"Hello," gasped the warrior, "what
kind Of whisky was that you sold me to-
day, johnson? never see such stuff.
brought it home and took couple os
drinks and sat down here to read the
paper, and in about five minutes ! began
to bile, and the next thing, I'm darned if

have to move my custom if you don't
give me better brand. A man would
have to copper line himself to stand that
stuff.
Mr. johnson took what was left Of the
sulphuric acid and informed the soldier
that he would send him down better
quality of liquor in return, and betook
himself to his store, marveling at the
strength of practiced digestive organs
