Awning. over the street. In Seville.

Tho busiest streets and squares are
kept cool and dim under awnings. On
the whole, think 1t was these awnings
that made Seville so charming in Au-
gust. There had been few in Cordova
l have been to more than one town
which raises similar protection against
Provencal sunlight, but / have never
come across them when they were as
elaborate, as general and as effective
as in Seville. In the narrow streets they
stretched from housetop to housetop at
each end, dropping in a great inclosing
wall of canvas so low as just to escape
the heads of the high saddled horsemen
who pranced under them. In the large
squares they extended in a checkerboard
arrangement, with intricate ropes and
pulleys which l never tsied to under
stand, content to enjoy the result Of
black shadows alternating with great
splotches Of sunlight. Even the town
hall spread out an awning all across the
wide sidewalk in front of IL and not n
hotel or bank or palace or big house did
we enter that had not its courts as well
protected. Elizabeth II. Pennell in

Life In Great Cities.

And as to the tendency Of the growth
of great cities to enervate nations, there
is no proof Of it at all unless we iden-
tify the life of great cities with tho
passion for idleness and pleasure and
self indulgence which sometimes, but
by no means universally, accompanies
their growth. When you get large pro.
letariat living, as that of ancient Rome
and possibly Of Nineveh and Babylon
did, on the aims Of the rich and power
full, then, no doubt, you have the con-
ditions of q thoroughly unnatural and
unhealthy life, and no one can wonder
at the rapid decay Of such cities and Of
the nations which gloried in them. But
where the honest working class far out
numbers the proletariat, where the mid
die Glasses of distributors and manufac-
turers and professional men are labori-
Gus and energetic, and even the class
that lives on its accumulated wealth
contains considerable sprinkling of
serious and disinterested workers, we
do not believe that there is the smallest
evidence of any greater danger in the
life Of the city than in the life of the
agricultural village or the pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreiners picture of the life of tho
modern Beers as indicating a condition
of things more prolific of morbid ele-
ments, with its almost complete alb
sence of any stirring or active intelli-
gence, than any kind of modern life
that is honestly laborious at all. The
Boer life is too sleepy, too destitute Of
stirring thought or effort, to be alto.
gether natural. II needs at least the old
element of danger and necessary vigi.
lance to render it even bracing. Lon.

1.-THE Bermuda lily should be planted
in deep potts." writes Eben Il. Rexford
in The Ladies' Home journal. "Put in
a shallow layer Of soil over the drain
age material when you pot the bulbs Of
this plant, and ON this place the bulb,
which should be covered lightly. Leave
it like this until a stalk starts. Then
fill in, as this stalk reaches up, until the
pot is full of compost. l would not ad-
wise the use of any fertilizer after bring
ing plant to the light if the compost
in which il was planted contained an
ordinary amount Of nutriment. Develop
ment is quite likely to be sufficiently
rapid in ordinary rich soil. and the ap-
plication of stimulant will so hasten
it that the plant will be forced beyond
healthy limits. Watch the plants when
in the cellar and give little water now
and then if needed. Aim to keep the
soil moist-never wet. When you bring
them up, do not place them at once in q
very warm room. A room adjoining one
in which there is fire is better for
them, if it is frostproof, than one in
which the heat is likely to run up to a
high figure. When they come into
bloom, be sure to keep them as cool as
possible if you want the flowers to last. "

In the practical application Of his
theories Moleschott animadverted on the
prevailing customs Of burying the dead
in permanent cemeteries, where their
bodies decay with no advantage and
often with serious injury to the living.
"If every place of burial" he says,
latter having been used year, should
be exchanged for a new one, it would
become in the course of six or ten years
a most fertile field which would do
more honor to the dead than mounds and
monuments. But, he adds, it would
be still better il we could return to the
ancient custom of burning the dead,
which he declares to be unquestionably
more practical as we'll as more poetical
By this process the air would be made
richer in carbonic acid and ammonia,
and the ashes, which contain the ele-
ments of new crops Of cereals for the
nurture of man and beast, would trans
form our barren heaths into luxuriant
plains. AT present, he adds, we are act
ing like the stupid and slothful servant
who buried his one talent in the earth
instead Of wisely investing it so as to
gain another. Popular Science Month

When Henri Rochefort planned the
erection of a workman's glass works at
Carmaux to help the glass workers, no

ants could scarcely get enough to eat,
and their wages were extremely small.
The money for the glass works was sent
in small linen bag. comparatively

She sent q servant to claim it, how
ever, and was greatly annoyed that il
had not been sent back. She was very
fond of cats, but even the food of hel
pets was measured out with niggardly

it might not drink too much. During
