THE COUNTRY PAPER.

| He was getting home from business He merchant we'll to do The wheels of the electric car were throw
 ing sparks of blue, And around him were acGuaintances, who
 where they stood or sat, By look or word or gesture, were inviting
 him to chat. But quite ignoring all of them, except to bow and smile When hailed by some one at the door or
 just across the aisle, He read with boyish eagerness, while
 speeding o'er the street The poorly printed pages of little country
 sheet.
 He read of Tom Joncs's enterprise in
 adding to his barn, And learned that "Salomon HuddIeson has
 got brand-new yarn;' That "Aunt Simpkins gave tea,' that
 ''crops are pretty good," And that "Ab Bailey came to town and
 brought load of wood." Well, yes; these things are trifes, perhaps,
 to you and me To him they are reminders of the times
 that used to be; And from his busy city life he glances back
 with joy To see the town that circumscribed his do-
 ing as boy. Each poorly-printed paragraph upon the
 homely sheeeS Presents a scene familiar or friend he used to meet; And maybe-you can tell it by the smiles that quickly come There's mention of his mother and the
 other "folks at home." Men wander far for fortune, and find it,
 too, and yet The farim and slothful village and its folk they neer forget. And there's not thing in city life which greater joy can give Than the little country paper printed where they used to live. -

 A decidedly pretty young woman entered the office of the Board of Supervisors, and in an agitated voice said:
 "I want to see the Mayor, please" ''He is not here. You will prob ably find him down stairs in his of1ice," explained a clerk. "No, sir, I've just been there. Are any Of the Supervisors here2.". "No not one."
 "Oh, dear, what shall I do?' She was on the point of bursting into tears.
 "Is there anything l can do for you?" inquired the clerk, sympa- thetically.

 Every sorry, Miss, but I'm aw- fully busy just now. Excuse me, said the clerk, hastily.

they were carefully watched, and when an article became threadbare it was replaced at once. So that although the decree is still binding, until the present day the co9tumes have never been entirely worn out, aud probably never will be.
 In eTery city, in every town, in the fields and on the trains we see sol- diers. The whole country seems to be in the army. Even boys are being drilled everywhere. The soldiers, however, have less of the military bearing than any we have seen in Europe. Very different are they, in dress and manner, from the trim red coated Englishmen we saw at Gibral- ter. We had an opportunity one afternoon while there to sec crack regiment of HighlandeEs drill, and fine looking fellows they very, in their spotlessly white coats and gaiters, and their plaid kits that stood out like the skirts of a ballet dancer when they wheeled. Here in Spain the soldiers appear dejected and weary-even when on dress parade; and the music to which they march, instead of being cheerful and inspiring, has the minor note that is characteristic to Spanish songs. However appropriate this quality may be in serenade, anything less martial can hardly be imagined The soldiers may we'll think it fun eral dirge.

The Latest Campaign Novelty.

We have just received from the manufacturers, c. F. Albright 6 Co, 15l Wabash Ave. Chicago, the latest campaign novelty, "The Mckinley Shirt Front" It is made of g fine quality of durable muslin board and has the appearance of the best launa dered linen shirt bosom. 1t bears fine portraits of Maj. Wm. Mckinley and Garret A. Hobart, surrounded by an artistic arrangement of the de3 sign of the first American flag adopted by congress, and the present flag Above the portraits is the motto of the Republican party, "Sound Money and Protection" The price of quality No. l, is 10 cts; quality No. ?, 15 cts. The Mckinley shi-t front will no doubt be one of the leading novelties of the campaign. It is one of those hits.

The United States in 1895 pro- duced $46, ,S3O.2OO worth of gold and 46,931 ,235 fine ounces ofsilver'. that is almost as many ounces of silver as there were dollars of gold. The gold output of the United States in 1895 exceeded that e3 the Transvaal by 3,836,331, and that of all Australasia by 4,Q3e,376. The Transvaal output will not inA crease as rapidly as has generally been expected. Australia sia will
 doubtless, regain second place, but the United States promises to hold the first place as a gold prOducet for many years to come. Mex. ico is now the greatest producer of silver in the world.

European Letter.
From our special correspondent.l
 SEVILLE, SPAIN, June ', 1896.

Some one has said that dancing Is tc Spain what music is to Italy. Young and old, fat and thin, they all dance whenever occasion presents itself On days of fiesta the clicking of cast anets and the pattering Of feet arc heard everywhere. Children who can hardly walk dance by instinct. The gypsy dances are justly noted for their grace and abandon, and the popular cafes chartants might be more ap- propriately named cafes dansants But not only is it the general form of amusement; the Spaniards have followed the example of the ancient Greeks and Jews, introducing it in their religious ceremonies. We were fortunate enough to witness one of these celebrations in the cathedral here. Of tho cathedral itself an Italian writer of note says. "It was so grand that 1 never speak of it without unconsciously assuming the tone and manner of Salvini in Sam son." l am sorry to say we could not share his enthusiasm. An earth quake some years ago so injured it that the interior is disfgured with scaffolding; and those who see It now remember less the lofty arches and the dark beauty of Murillo's cherubs, than the rough beams and ladders that break every vista. As the scene of the religious dance, however, it was something never to be forgotten.
 The church was dark-it was twi- light, and only one chapel was H. lum1nated. 4 crowd of kneeling women filled the aisles. A few priests stood around the altar, and before it were two rows of boys, about ten CT twelve years of age, dressed in the | Spanish costume of the middle ages, with tights and plumed hats. The music of violins broke the profound silence, and the rows of boys began to advance and retreat, to mingle and bow, in a sort of contradance. Pres ently, without pausing in their slow, graceful movements, they sang low, harmonious chant. The sound oi the little voices in the great vault the sight of their movements. the quaint costume, the kneeling throng the surrounding gloom, produced ar impression as reyerential as that of g prayer.
 The story is told that one of the former Archbishops of Seville, who should evidently have been born il Puritanica4 days, objected to the dance as proiane, and ordered that it bt discontinued. This aroused such op position not only from the authoritieY of the cathedral but among the in- habitants of Seville, that the question was referred to the Pope. The latte expressed his inability to judge with out having seen the dance; according ly the entire troop ot choir boys wa conveyed to Rome and the perform lance given. His Holiness smiled anC thought it quite unobjectionable; bu to pacify the memorable Archbishop he decreed that the dance should continue only until the clothes tht boys then had on should be worn out This was equally satisfactory to th' astute authorities 1t the cathsdral The cs-a-.oz were used only oI , special occasions. once or t~l ice Iear

If required an annual outlay of $100.00 to insure a family against any serious consequences from ah attack of bowel complaint during the year there are many who would feel it their duty to pay it; that they could not afford to risk their lives, and those of their family for such an amount. Any one can get this insurance for p cents, that being the price of a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of bowel complaint before medicine could be procured or 8 physician summoned. One or two doses of this remedy will cure any ordinary case. It never fails. Can you afford to take the risk for as small an amount? For sale to Cotter's Drug Store.
