A SPANISH EErE.
The Feast of San Fernando as Celebr., .d in the Cathedral of Seville

The Feast of San Fernando as Celebrafef, In the Cathedral of Seville. It was not until the feast of San
 Fernando that we learned with what stump, uousness and stateliness the beautiful interior could array itself for its festivals, and with what feryor <. could keep them. Already, on the eye of the great day, the royal chapel was hung with silken dra,Gries; cIo,h-ot. gold covered the royal rombs, the altar was a mass of golden plate. and people. were crowding to kiss the hands of the Virgen de los Reyes, the large, ma tronly Virgin who wears cap like that of the ladies of the sacred heart. and who holds the child in her arms, When we came to the cathedral it's court was held by red-legged soldiers. grouped about the fountain, at the base of pillars, on every step. Two sentinels paced up and down at the door of the royal chapel, which was filled with well-dres sed men and women in mantillas, cro uched on the floor. sitting on low camp-stools. lying face downward with hands out5tretghed to form cross, or else pressing closely about the altar; for the curtain was raised above the coffin where san Fer. nando has lain these thousand years. and through the glass we could see the mummy-like head and the ermine robes; and all the people prayed as if they meant it.
 We wandered back in the late after noon, in the hour just before sunset. Under the oranges and about the fountain the red-lecged soldiers still fingered and loafed; but even as we came a bugle sounded, they fell into line and marched across the court through the cloister, under the door with the crocodile above, and then in to the royal chapel, where they formed on each side. The altar with its hur- dreds of candles made an almost blind ing glory in the midst of the falling shadows, and wherever the silken hangings caught the light they shone with jewel-like splendor. But the service was very simple, the more sol- emn because of its simplicity. A monk in black robe mounted into a rulpit half hid in dusky corner He ec.ted litany, and the people answered. and, without organ or accompaniment, a hymn was sung.
 Then he prayed aloud. not in Latin, but in Spanish; prayer of thanks giving that the country had been freed from the terrible Moors. a peti. tion that they might never come again, that glorious St Ferdinand might pre- vail, and that Spain should four sh forever. With these words, which he fairly shrieked forth, he waved fran tic sign of the cross with his crucifx as he gave a blessing. The mass of officers drew their swords, the soldiers grounded their arms with a crash and fell on their knees, the band burst in- 10 the national hymn, the color-guard marched to the altar and seized their flags, which had been left before the tomb all day. They saluted the hero of their country; the curtain dropped, shrouding him from sight; and then, the band at their head, they marched out with a dignity which Rome in its best days never surpassed. Elizabeth R. Pennell, in Century.
