sPLENDoR OF THE EscURIAL
Gorgeous Tomb of All Spanish Kings Since
 the Time of Charles V.

Gorgeous Tomb of All Spanish Kings Since the Time of Charles V.
 "On leaving the sacristy we descend into the royal tomb or pantheon. for such is the term given by the Catholic Spaniards to a Christian burial place" says a writer in Harper's Magazine.
 ''This vault, placed exactly beneath the high altar of the church, is an oc-- tagon room thirty-six feet in diameter and thirty-eight feet high. You de- scend into it by means of staircase whose walls are lined with green and yellow polished jasper. The walls of the pantheon are polished marble, porphyry and jasper, richly ornament ed with gilt-bronze capitals, bases and angels, the whole executed by Italian artists after the death of Philip II. As an inscription informs us, the founder of the escurial built only a simple vault. Philip III. began the present gorgeous structure in 1917. Philip ". completed it and moved in the royal bodies on March IT, 1854, after Diego de Velasquez had, with his own hands, fixed in its place the bronze crucifix, by Pedro Tacca, which he had brought back from Italy. The Octagon walls contain twenty-six niches or shelves, on each of which is gray marble sar- cophagus or urn of classical shape. On the left are the kings and on the right the mothers of kings, from Charles V. down to our times. In 1854 Philip ". opened the urn containing the remains of Charles ", and, after looking awhile at the mummified body, he said, laconically, to Luis de Haro: Don Luis, cuerpo honrado.' owhich the prime minister replied: 'Si, senor, muy honrado.' Charles II. also opened this august sarcophagus, which was again opened by Ferdinand VII. after the French invasion, and once more in 1870, when the aspect of the mummy was carefully reproduced by painter of Madrid, and photographs of this picture now enable curious tourists to carry away with them an authentic portrait of the corpse of the great em. [ peror."

DISCARDED BY THREE STATES.
The Original No Hans Land Lay Between
 Maryland and Delaware.


 When one speaks to you of No Mans land, don't be so sure that he means to refer you to that strip of sand prairie at the far end of the Indian territory, otherwise ''the Panhandle" The or iginal No Mans land is a little tongue of real estate extending a few miles south of the Mason and Dixon line, be- tween the states of Maryland and Del aware. Occasionally some one starts the story that the aforementioned tract is, properly speaking, part of no state-that it is scrap or leftover piece of the United States where no one owns the land upon which he re- sides. On the maps the land is usually accredited to the state of Pennsylva- mia, but high legal authority says that the claim is very vague and shadowy. This triangular bit of territory was marked off in curious manner, as re- lated by the Philadelphia Press. The eastern boundary of Maryland was early determined, but the southern boundary of Pennsylvania was long a matter of dispute. Finally Mason and Dixon began their survey, starting at the eastern boundary of Maryland, proceeding westward. At the same time the northern boundary of Della ware was declared to be semicircle, the center of which was New Castle. Tn surveying this semicircle it was found that the circumference did not touch the boundary of Maryland at it's junction with the Pennsylvania line. Thus this three-cornered bit of land was actually left over, discarded by three states and finally attached to Pennsylvania for judicial purposes.

THE INDIANS SUGAR.
How It Was Extracted from the Trees In
 Vermont.

How 1t Was Extracted from the Trees In
 Vermont.
 Ever since the Indians in the section now known as Fletcher discovered ''honey'' in the maple trees, that dis trict has been known far and wide as the heart of the Vermont maple sugar country. The way the red man ex- tracted the delicious compound was somewhat slow as compared with the present process. He used to cut a slanting gash in the bark and insert in the lower end a gauge-shaped piece of wood, from which the sap ran and dropped into poplar or basswood trough. At the end of the season these troughs would be set mp against the trees and left until the following sea- son, by which time the troughs would be thoroughly mildewed. This ma terially added to the flavor of the ab- original sugar, but can hardly be said to have improved it. The evaporator of those times consisted of an iron ket- tie swung from sapling bent over a stump. By slow and tedious process the sap was first heated and then boiled in this kettle, often taking two or three days boiling before it could be sugared off. This was the way in which the redskins and the early Yer monitors eked out a ''sweetnin'" to their tea and johnny cake.
 In the best Fletcher groves of to-day a long pipe or trough line runs from some central spot in the grove down to the big storage tanks in the sugar house. Here the perfected evaporator, when under full headway, will convert the first sap into sirup in half an hour, consuming about one cord of wood to produce hundred pounds of sugar. There are in the town of Fletcher, at a moderate estimate, thirty thousand trees, this being probably within the l real number

OLD DAYS IN WALL STREET.
Terms That Were Familiar to the Men on

n
 Change Fifty Years Ago.
 An old Wall street man, long since retired, speaking of the numerous changes in the manners and customs of the stock exchange, according to the New York Tribune, said to the writer: e'The lambs that we have in the street in these days were called fnnkies when was on change, some forty or fifty years ago. A flunky we regarded as man who, deceived by appearances, went into the market without any knowledge of it and generally lost all he had.
 eve have had bulls and bears ever since can remember, but the familiar terms bull-backers and bear-traps l have not heard in good many years They were the moneyed men, the big speculators who combined with each other for the purpose of cornering the market; men such as Keene and Gould, Drew, Commodore Vanderbilt and Jacob Little. In those days the brok- CTS used to play lovingly among themselves for the purpose of keep ing up appearances. When they had no customers on whom to practice they would make large transactions, which, by mutual understanding, were not to be fulfilled, and when the game was out the securities were thrown back on the market. These transac- tions, often published in the commer- cial newspaper, went forth to the world as the evidences of value and the condition of the money market to de- ceive the unwary. The present man. agement of the stock market renders such transactions impossible. Besides, the papers of to-day would refuse to | rublish them"

A DeceptIye Name.

A Philadelphian and his wife were dropped one hot summer day at the tiny post village of Mount Pleasant, on the Delaware railroad, and as they gazed over fiat country, whose differ ences of level are scarcely perceptible save by the aid of a surveyors instru- ment, native asked them what they were looking for. Then the Philadel- phian explained that the name of the place had called up such visions of an airy eminence that he and his wife had come down to spend their vacation. They learned from the native that summer board was not obtainable there, and he obligingly explained that the place received it's deceptive name in commemoration of the fact that it was situated on the watershed between Delaware and Chesapeake bays, the backbone of the peninsula, as it is locally called

!. WOMEN WITH MusTAcHEs.
A German Professor Thinks That the Day
 of the Bearded Beauty Is Coming.

German Professor rnInls That the Day
 of the Bearded Beauty Is Coming.
 A learned German, who has devoted himself to the study of physiology, an- thropology and allied sciences. makes the rather startling assertion that mustaches are becoming commoner among the women in the present day than in the past. He says, as quoted by the London Standard, that in Con- stantinople, among the unveiled wom- en that are to be met with, one out of ten possesses an unmistakable covering of down on the upper lip. In the capi- tai of Spain, again, the proportion ot ladies with this masculine characterls- tic is said to be quite equal to that ob- servable on the Golden Horn. An American medical man states that in Philadelphia fully three per cent. Of the adult fair sex are similarly adorned, and probably the proportion would be still larger but that many women take the trouble to eradicate the unwelcome growth by the applica- ton of depilatory preparations. Is this increase in the number of women with hair on their faces to be regarded as a sign that the humun race is im- proving? Very few men, at all events, will be disposed to consider that a mustache adds to the charms of the op- posite sex. Englishmen, indeed, only a generation ago, had such detestation of mustaches and boards that the prac- tice of shaving all hair off their face down to their mutton-chop whiskers was all but universal. From one ex- treme our clean-shaven fathers plunged into the other, and boards and mustaches rapidly became the fashion. The fashion has of late years again been modified. Boards are less common, but the mustache is cultivated in England as widely as on the continent. But why should the fair sex be visited by this infiction? Some writers on ethnology hold that the higher races of mankind are al- ways the hairier, and MT. Mott thinks that in few centuries men ana wom- en will all be clothed with hair.

Cremation in Olden Times.

The Smithsonian institution has printed a paper by pr. J. F. Snyder de- scribing an urn containing incinerated human bones which was dug out of an ancient mound in Georgia. The urn, or vase, is nearly conical, eleven and a half inches high, and was covered by an inverted bell-shaped vessel fifteen and three-fourths inches in height. The ashes nearly half filled the vase, and mingled with them were calcined human teeth and fragments of bones. Lying on the surface of these remains were quantity of wampum and sev, eral small pearls that had been pierced for stringing.
