Bishop Fallows' Saloon,

The Home saloon of Bishop Fallows,
in Chicago, fools great many old to-
pers. His idea is to make the place as
much like first class saloon us possible
and to sell in it something as much like
beer as science could concoct without its
being the real thing. The saloon has a
big bar, with substantial rail, from
which hang half a dozen towels. Back
of the bar is white coated bartender,
and back of him are big mirrors and
rows of shelves, covered with black bot
ties bearing gaudy labels. A row of
lemons and a bowl of cracked ice help
tomake up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders in and orders
"beer. y He gets glass of foaming
something that cools, may cheer, but
can't inebriate. The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts his
mouth and tries to recall the taste, while
a puzzled look spreads over his face
Sometimes ne asks questions, but usu-
ally he walks slowly away, wondering
whether or not his stomach is all right

The Great Structure Erected by Order OF
Philip II of Spain.

Philip II of Spain.
The Escurial, built by Philip II be-
tween 1868 aud 1884, was called "the
eighth wonder Of the world" says
special correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid. 1t was at once temple, palace,
a treasury, q 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, 80 miles northwest of Madrid
The builder 5 object was to carry ont the
will of his fsthcr, Charles Y, by CON
STRUGGLING q royal burial place, and also
to fulfill VOW he had made during the
battle Of st. Quentin, when he inn
plored the aid of st. Lorenzo, on whose
day aug. 10, 1557) the battle was
fought.
The edifco stands about 5000 feet
above the sea, facing the mountains, with
its back toward Madrid. 1t is rcctangu-
lar parallelogram, 40 feet from north to
south, and $50 from east to west On
the east side is an advanced portico
which breaks the facade This gavo rise
to the vulgar impression that Philips
idea was to mako the building in the
shape of u gridiron, an allusion to the
manner of St. Lorcnzo's martyrlom, he
having been broilcd to death on slow
fire in the reign Of the Roman Emperor
Valcntianus, A. D. 2G1. There seems
to be no other ground for the fanciful
invention.
The building covers 500, 900 square
feet Of land, or nearly ~ acres. Ii has
16 courtyards, Sc staircases, 10 clois-
tiers, SS fountains and 3, 900 feet of paint
ed fresco. The church, which occupies
less than a sixth of the whole space, is
800 feet long, 230 feet wide and 800 feet
high to the top of the cupola. The re-
deeming qualities CT the enormous struc-
ture are size, simplicity and situation
1t 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 architcc-
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 1t might be vast man
ufactory, It's cold granite walls, blue
states, leadcn roofs and small windows
give it a commonplace appearance.
Of course it is now little more than
a 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 1908.
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. 1t Is now used as q
seminary, where about 200 youths re-
ceive a secular education.

CHESS ON THE BRAIN.
Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
Himself a Bishop or Knight.

Himself Bishop Knight.
4 chess champion, q German gentle
man whose name is we'll known to all
players and most nonplayers of that sci
entitic game, recently told the writer
that the intense mental activity which
it was necessary to display while en-
gagged i'll combat on the board often
led him to unconsciously do ridiculous
things when the game was over.
"For instance he said, 1T is not
an uncommon thing for me, when walk
ing home i'll the evening after several
games of chess at my club, to imagine
Quite uncolsciously, and probably while
thinking about something else, | will
take great care to plant my feet firmly
in the center Of the hagstones and not
step upon the lines that divide them.
Again, the idea that | am a knight will
seize me, and those who walk behind
me are cOnvulsed with laughter to see
me take a step forward, and one to one
side, which is not, to say the least of it,
q dignified method of progress.
Sometimes | am bishop and move
in slanting direction, till forcible con-
cussion with wall brings me to my
senses.
ut is very foolish, know, but can
not help it, 1 suppose it is that the
game, its chances and possibilities are
SO continually running in my mind that
chess to me is almost becoming second
nature
The elder Roberts once, years ago,
told an interviewer that so completely
was his mind subjugated by billiards
that he would often lie i'll bed and Won
der if he could make carom off the
mantelpiece on to the washstand or
pot the gas globe out of the window
with the bedpost. London Answers.

PRAISE YOUR WIFE.



Glow 90 I looE?" asked young wife
who stood before her husband dressed to
attend party with him.
He raised his eyes from the paper he
was reading, looked at her critically
and said:
"All right You'll do.
Her heart sunk, and Ter lips quivcred,
but he did not know it. She was con-
scious Of locking her best, and she want
ed q word Of praise, of admiration,
from her husband, and she failed to re-
ccive it.
Why was he 50 grudging of his praise?
Ask the average man who answers his
wife in that way when she asks his
opinion, as she invariably does, and he
will tell you that she always looks we'll
dressed i'll good taste and above crit
cism. But why doesn't he say that to
her, or rather why does he not make a
little loverlike speech for such an occa-
sion? Even the courteous remarks he
would bestoW on the costume of an or
binary acquaintance are withheld from
his own wife.
There was husband--he is dead now
who used to say to his wife, MY
dear, you are looking charming this
evening"" or, 81 love you best III that
blue dress Of yours " He was II poor
stick of man in the way of worldly
success, but his widow canonized him
for just those loving tributes, given to
her with lovers Difference after many
years of welded life

THE EVIL EYE.


And How a Coincidence Helped to Rivet
the Chains of Superstition.
Miss Symonds and Il party of friends
had driven from Athens to the foot Of
Hymettus in carriage drawn by two
horses The drive being over, the coach
man proceeded to give corn to his
horses One of them, however, would
not eat, but hung his head and refused
all food The driver, il state of wild
excitement, thereupon presented him
self before his fares and declared, with
frenzied words, that one Of the ladies
had Overlooked" the suffering horse,
and that the beast was about 90 expire.
The only way to get it cured from the
effects of the evil eye was for the over
looked to spit upon it. The driver APP
pears to have had no doubt which lady
was the possessor of the evil power ex-
ercised upon his animal Naturally
enough, the lady i'll question had no
great fancy to try this primitive form
of veterinary surgery and refused.
The mans entreaties and adjurations,
however, became SO vehement and so
lIitlU lttSJ tliC ttl1N ECU lJCS-
SCISSOR of the evil eye had to yield. No
sooner had she spat upon the horse than
a most welcome change set in. The
beast, which had appeared to be at its
last gasp, promptly grew better, and
very soon was eating like its fellow. OF
course the change was due to coin
cidence. Probably the horse was at first
too tired to eat, but during the discus
sion "to spit or not to spit he no doubt
got rested. BY the time, then, the cere-
mony was performed he was quite fit
for breakfast. 1t was, i'll fact, post hoe,
not propter hoe. The splitting and the
recovery following each other SO closely
was mere coincidence. But though
we may hold this view it was Of course
not held by the Greek coachman. He,
we may be sure, felt at once completely
confirmed in his belief i'll the evil eye.
The coincidence gave him what he
thought ample proof Of the efficacy of
his charm against overlooking. If
nothing had happened, and the English
ladies had been able to laugh at him
for making one Of them do Il disagree
able thing without any result, the driver
might have begun to think that, after
all, his Juggling rites were nonsense.
Depend upon it, the coincidence riyet-
ed the CHAINS of superstition upon him
tighter than ever After the incident we
have just noticed he will probably be-
lieve as firmly i'll the evil eye and the
way to counterfeit its influence as he will
in tho procession of the seasons or the
following of day by night.
