In The Grand Canal. Venice.

Nowhere else In the wide world is there such
a sight. A double row of creamy white palaces
tiled in red and topped with quaint chimneys.
Overhanging balconies OF marble bursting with
flowers, with gay awnings above and streaming
shadows below. Two lines of narrow quays
crowded with people flashing bright bits of
color in the blazing sun. Swarms of goudolas,
barcos, and lesser water-spiders darting in and
out. Lazy red-sailed luggers, melon loaded
with erinkled green shadows crawling beneath
their bows; while at the far end over the glis-
tening highway. beaded with people. curves

The Little King of Spain.
LArgOraWLI

One Of the most curious customs in connec-
tiOn with the Court Of Spain is the provisions
which are made for the safety Of the sovereign
at night. The slumbers Of the little King, and,
indeed, the whole palace, are watched through
out the night by the MonterOs de Espinosa, a
body Of men, who, for over 400 years. have en-
joyed the exclusive privileges Of guarding their
royal master OF mistress from sunset to sunrise.
They are bound by tradition to be natives of
the town of Espinosa, and TO have served
with honor in the army. 1t is they who lock
the palace gates, with much ceremony and
solemnity, at midnight and who open them
again at 7 o'clock in the morning Their fidelity
to the person Of the sovereign is as tradi-
tional as their strange and ancient privilege.
