Credulity of Russian Peasantry.

A writer in a French review tells q
curious story serving to show the misery
and credulity Of the peasantry in some
districts Of Russia, as we'll as the au-
dacity Of the INSCRIPTIONS swindlers by
whom they are sometimes feeced. An
adventurer was recently tried at Saratof
for having induced a number Of peasants
to abandon to his keeping all their world
~ possessions, with the view of emf
grating under his guidance to-Jupiter.
There they were to find land in album
dance, easy work and marvelously fer
tile. WhenS the local authorities inter-
vened, it was found that quite band of
emigrants were preparing to start for
the blessed planetary colony We are not
told what defense was made by the pris-
oner, but it was quite apparent that his
dupes were aware that it was to no ter
restrial land Of promise that he was to
lead them. He was therefore indicted
and condemned for spreading false re-
ports about Jupiter. ''-Westminster Ga

VISIT TO THE EscURIAL.
The Great Structure Erected by Order Of
Philip III Of Spain. f

The Great Structure Erected by Order Of
Philip III of Spain. 5s
TIE Escurial, built by Philip IL be-
tween 1868 and 1854, was called the
eighth wonder Of the world - says a
special correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid. It was at once temple, palace,
a treasury, a tomb and museum That
is to say, all these were included in the.
huge building which Philip erected on
the slope Of spur Of the Guadarama
range, SO miles northwest Of Madrid.
The builder object was to carry out the
will Of his father, Charles v, by con-
structing royal burial place, and also
to fulfill vow he had made during the
battle Of st. Quentin, when he i'm
;plored the aid Of ST. Lorenzo, on whose
day (Aug. 10, 1867 the battle was
fought. 81
The edifice stands about 5000 feet
above the sea, facing the mountains, with
its back toward Madrid. tits rectangu-
Lar allelogram, TAO feet from north to
south, and $50 from east to west. On
the east side is an advanced portico
which breaks the facade. This gave rise
to the vulgar impression that Philips
idea was to make the building in the
shape Of a gridiron, an allusion to the
manner Of St. Lorenzo's martyrdom, he
having been broiled to death on slow
fire in the reign of the Roman Emperor
Valentianus, A. D. 261. There seems
to be no other ground for the fanciful
invention.
The building covers 100000 square
feet of land, or nearly 10 acres. It has
16 courtyards, Sc staircases, Is clois-
tiers, 88 fountains and 8, 900 feet of paint
ed fresco The church, which occupies
less than sixth of the whole space, is
$50 feet long, $50 feet wide and 800 feet
high to the top Of the cupola. The re-
deeming qualities Of the enormous struc-
ture are size, simplicity and situation.
It seems to be part of the mountain on
the slope of which it RISES It still looks
grand even among mountain buttresses.
Otherwise, it disappoints. Its ARCHITECT
ture has little in form or color to COM
mend it. 1t lacks the prestige of antiq-
uity, and it does not express any reli-
gious sentiment. It might be vast man.
ufactory. Its cold granite walls, blue
states, leaden roofs and small windows
give it a commonplace appearance.
Of course it is now little more than
skeleton of what it was. The living
monks who swarmed in it's courts are
here no longer. The revenues on which
they lived have been taken away. The
French soldiers stole and carried away
many of it's golden ornaments in 1903.
Its best pictures have been removed to
Madrid. The building has suffered from
neglect, exposed to hurricanes and win
ter SHOWS. Better care has been taken
Of it in later years. It is now used as
seminary, where about 300 youths re-
ceive secular education.

British "Red Coats"

We never think Of her majesty's SOL
diery as being attired in other than red
coats and brass buttons, but there was
time when the regulation uniform of
British soldiers was entirely different
from what it is today. In the time of
Henry VIII the colors worn by the army
were green and white; later on, white,
with red cross on the breast. The first
mention Of the "red coats, (which were
SO detested by the American patriots Of
Revolutionary times, is found in a cir
cular letter by Edward, earl Of Derby.
1t bears date Of 1547, and is to the effect
that thereafter all foot and light horse
soldiers will appear in a red coat made
in cassock fashion. st. Louis Repub-

It has often been puzzle to students
Of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in SO many different ways. Shakespeare
himself is said to have signed his name
different occasions ''Shakspeare' and
"Shakespere, and learned disquisitions
have been written to prove which is the
proper spelling. None perhaps was more
amusing than the weather reason
given in 1861 by Albert Smith, who
averred that he had found it in the Har-
leian MSS. It was as follows:

SPOONING PARTIES.

How These Commendable Aids to Matri-
mony Should Be Conducted. -,
SSpooning" parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their name
from good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fan
tastic actions of a young man or young
woman who is in love. For some reason,
which no one ever could explain, every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
Of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in all the romantic story
books. The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be ''spoony''
When a "spooning'' party is given,
the committee in charge of the event re-
ceives a spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with
spoon. These spoons are: fancifully
dressed in male and. female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity Of
costume or by distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care of each
other during the continuance of the So
cial gathering.
OF course the distribution of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fulness, the aim being to so place them
as to properly fit the case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people of some neighborhood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end of fun. It is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as we'll,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not a secret, but that his weak
ness for 'spoony' maiden is known to
his friends and enemies on the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons. It may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case This consul
tation is known by the name Of "spoon-
ing. '-St. Louis Republic.

BOgJNE AND HE INDIANS.

The Old Kentucky Hunter Was q Prisoner
In Their Hands For Months.
Boone frequently took to the field on
set expeditions againsr the saVages.
Once when he and a party Of other men
were making salt at . lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the Indians.
The old hunter was q prisoner with them
tor some months, bnt finally made his
escape and came home through the track
less woods as straight as the wild pigeon
3 flies. He was ever on the watch to ward
of the Indian inroads and to follow the
war parties and Try to rescue the pris-
oners. B Esss: .fs zs
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
of by q band Of Indians. Boone collected
some friends and ollowed them steadily
for two days and a night. Then they
came to where the Indians had killed q
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from little distance, they shot two In
dams, and rushing in rescued the girls.
On another occasion, when Boone had
gone tovisit q salt Lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, but the
Indians followed him for three miles by
the aid Of q tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog and then eluded his
pursuers In company with Simon Ken
ton and many Of the noted hunters and
wilderness warriors he once and again
took part in perilous expeditions into
the Indian country. Twice bands of In
dams, accompanied by French, Tory
and British partisans from Detroit, bear
ing the flag Of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesboro. In each case Boone and his
fellow settlers beat them off with loss.
At the fatal battle of the Blue Licks,
in which 200 of the best rifemen Of
Kentucky were beaten with terrible
slaughter by a great force of Indians
from the lakes, Boone commanded the
} left wing. Leading his men, rifle in
hand, he pushed back and overthrow
the force against him. But meanwhile
the Indians destroyed the right wing
and center and got in the rear, so that
there was nothing for Boones men ex-
cept to fee with, all speed.-Theodore
Roosevelt in St. Nicholas.

WELLINGTON WAS WARNED.
A Design Which Might Have Materially
Affected the Destiny of Europe.

A Design Which Might Have Materially
Affected the Destiny of Europe.
The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two of
his staff, from his headquarters at St.
Jean de Luz, and take his stand on the
top Of a wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, on the left bank of the
Adour, which commands a view of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
stream. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still command Of the
river and the opposite shore, and the
jealous sailor. aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan of entrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune, which happened to be on neutral
ground just outside the line Of French
pickets.
General Thouvenot very honorably de-
clined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
that it was actually being carried out,
Notwithstanding his disapproval, he sent
mounted orderly, as fast as he could
gallop, down the road on the left bank
of the river (the present site Of the AL
lees Marines) past the French pickets,
to warn Wellington Of his danger. The
message was just in time. When within
a short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
up the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly off in another direc-
ton.
So says the story, which, entirely be-
ieved by the French, is placed on record
by Morel, declared in a footnote to be
correct, and then (1846) within the
memory of living Witnesses We can en-
tirely agree with the author in his sue
ceeding remark, ''Thus, by one of those
strange chances beyond all human ex-
