The sovereien's Body-Guard.

The most extraordinary precautions
are taken in Spain to provide for the
safety Of the sovereign at night. His
slumbers are watched throughout the
night by the Monterof de Espinosa, a
body OF men who for 400 years have
enjoyed the exclusive privilege Of
guarding their royal master or mis-
tress 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. They
lock the palace gates with much ccre-
mony and solemnity ut midnight and
open them again at o'clock in the
morning. Their fidelity to the person
Of their sovereign does not admit Of
question.

The Dublin Broguc.

Frances Power Cobbe, in her "Iife,"
gives amusing illustrations of the Dub
lin brogue in which Irish protestant
clergymen, educated at Trinity College
used to preach fifty years ago. One,
concluding n sermon on the Fear Of
Death, exclaimed:
me brethren, the doying Christian
lepps into the arrums of Death, and
makes his hollow jaws ring with eter-
nal hallelujalsr'
There was chapter in the Acts
which Miss Cobbe dreaded to hear by
certain clergyman. SO difficult was 1t
to help laughing when told of 'Perthe-
ans and Mades. and the dwellers In
Mesopotemia and the part of libya
about Cyraine. streengers Of Roum,
Jews, Proselytes. Crates, and Arab

The Money-Nfnking Nose.

Said o business man of wide expert

"Have you ever observed the money

ed nose, Invariably curved somewhat

the unfa1ling sign of money making
ability. lrave observed 1t for years.
If you doubt 1t look about you and you
win find that every wealthy man who
has made his own money out of moth
ing has more or less such a nose. A
very fine example OF the money-making
nose Is that which adorns the face Of

bankers and railway presidents have
similar noses. New York Herald.

colleges Offering to furnish them with
essays and speeches for so much per

urged the department to rule these
circulars out of the mails, but after
due consideration the authorities de.
cided that they could not exclude
them.

for granted that he can write pnssably
