How Spaniards Honor the Memory of the
Great American Author. iN

How Spaniards Honor the Memory of the
Great American Author. !''
There is a hotel in Granada that
GEARS the honored name of Washing
ton Irving. From its windows the
guest, in the morning, when the sun
light is sifted down through the We'll
lington elms, sees one of the blank
walls of the Alhambra. Its proprietor
is Spaniard, not literary and not too
familiar with the name he has taken in
vain. Two volumes, fragments of two
separate works of the author, one of
them in French, are all that the hotel
possesses, though copy of Sales Ko-
ran is sometimes brought to the trav-
eler under the impression that it also
emanated from Irving's pen. There is
portrait from photograph in the
reading room not unlike the original,
but no other mementoes are discover
able. 1t is so very long since Irving
spent his three and half months of
spring and summer within the Alham-
bras walls--more than fifty years
that few persons are now alive who
ever even saw him, though scarcely a
person who comes here does not talk
of him and of his books; he it was that
made Granada famous. The faithful
Mateo, his body servant, died many
years ago, and his son, who now acts
as guide, is an old man of nearly sixty.
His wife died of the cholera, and he is

And slide is there established

The ACCESSIBILITY of clipping ahorse
in the winter depends upon circum.
stances. Its purpose is to prevent un-
due perspiration, by which the coat is
saturated with moisture after exercise,
and danger of chill is imminent after
the work is over, by the steaming and
evaporation from the skin. 1t is this
which makes lung disorders and the
prevailing epIzooties so frequent among
road, car and driving horses. All
horses which have thick coat should
be clipped, and those having thin,
fine, silky one should not. Clipped
horses should be carefully blanketed
after exercise, and the blanket should
reach quite around the body and over
the front of the chest and throat.-N
