The Freedom of Spanish GirIhood.
North american Rerie.p. ]

The fact that the Spanish woman enjoys no
social freedom until she marTies attains her
majority has given rise to the supposition.
among those who know US only through the
fantastic tales of INSCRIPTIONS travellers, that
in Spain women live subject to the most abso-
lutte of tyrannies, and that we are the victims
of the brutal seliShness of man. Nothing
could be farther from the truth or more cslum-
NOUS. The Spanish woman yielding cheer
fully and willingly the obedience to paternal
authority eDjoined by religion receives, with
the nuptial benedictiOn, the liberty to go about
alone and to guard unaided the good name aud
respect with which in childhood and youth
she had seen herself surrounded. But let it
not therefore be imagined that the Spanish girl
leads the life of a recluse, subjecied 20 monastc
rules So far from this being the case, perhaps
there is no woman in the world who enjoys
herself more while she is unmarried, who is .
greater coquet, or who tyrannizes more CON-
Dletely over her sutOrs; and when long dresses
give her the right to present herself into So
ciety, a period of amusements and diversions
begins for her which terminates without regret

duties of maternity come to fill her life and to
completely occupy both her thoughts and her

Eccentricities in Palaces.
IHdrper's Young People. |


The King of Siam, who according to late re-
ports, has had palace constructed which he
submerge in the sea at will, and so live
under water whenever he chooses is not the
only monarch who has INDUCED in eccentrici-
ties of this sort.
For instance history has preserved the men,
DRY of the ice palace built by the Russian EN-.
press Anne, who punished several of her dainty
courtiers by compelling them to pass the night
in this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul. ancestor of the present En-
perOr of Russia, constructed room formed
entirely of huge mirrors, where he spent hours
walking to and fro in full uniform-a singular
taste for the ugliest man in Russia.
One of the native Princes of Java cooled his
palace by making a stream fall in a cascade
over the gateway; and the Indian despot
Tippo Sahib placed beside his dinner-table a
lfe-size figure of tiger devouring an English
officer, the roar of the beast and the shrieks
of the victim being initiated by hidden ma
chinery.

You are probably aware that millions of

tobacco consumed is appalling; all this can be
saved. The nerve nicotizing and DESTROYING
effects OF using tobacco, in any form, upon the
physlca! and mental organization is simply
terrible. One of Chicago's great newspapers
the "Inter-Ocean," devoted an entire eight
page, illustrated in eight colors, supplement. to
tell all about NO-IO Bac the only reliable and
absolutely guaranteed habit care in all the world.

Closure in the English House.
!


The closure is still more remarkable in
strumeut OF government. The late Mr.. Smith
Invented it. He was the est-mannered
man who ever led the House of Commons; yet
he introduced the gag. He was made leader
because of the con tending am billions of other
persons who, when the poor. innocent. unam-
bilious man died of exhaustion, outvied one
another in praise of his devotion. | am al
ways sorry for the Iertinm Quid in politics, I'M
less he be peer, when he gets on well enough.
However, Mr.. Smith made an excellent leader
and introduced the closure. He was the irst
Minister who ever used the now familiar words :
" l move that the question be now put" He
was not an orator, but much practice had made
him perfect in his little speech.
Whenever this motion is made it is put with
out debate, unless the Speaker or Chairman
considers it an abuse of the rules or an in
fringement OF the rights of the minority. If
he puts it and division is challenged, the
motion is lost unless carried by majority
and unless at least 100 members vote in that
majority.
1t is obvious that the duty cast upon the
Speaker or Chairman, of deciding whether or
not the motion is an abuse of the rules or an in
fringement of the rights of the minority, Is
difficult one. strong man in the chair, who
attentively follows the debate, makes up his
mind OH the merits of each case; but weak
man, whose attention flags, is apt to be gov
erned by the position of the member making
the motion.
Oratory is no doubt tradition of the House
of Commons. What are we to say about it
In America you seem still to love talk for its
own sake. i am told that in the States grown
men and women really enjoy sitting still and
being talked to in loud voice. You love to
hear the rolling sentence aud the lofty and
familiar sentiment. We don't. 1t cannot be
denied that even common juries dislike what
few decades ago would have been considered
very passable eloquence. 1t is daily growing
upon US. this dislike of being talked to in
lofty vein-or, indeed, in any vein.
