inents of the bull. Only in Spain can
such things be seen!
The language of the country is known
as Castilian, and is considered II simple
one and easily acquired. But this is
true merely as regards its elements,
and as much as is usually acquired by
globe-trotters and sailors, for the Span
ish of the court and uni, crsity is a pol
ished language, full of verbal and id
omatic subtleties and pitfalls for the
young beginner. AS the language of
Mexico and the South American repub
lies it will we'll repay study by our
young readers.
The SpaniarSls are poor andproud. No
other country has so many titled peo-
pie; there are 50 dukes, 72o men bear
the title of marquis, there are $50
counts and a countless number of bar
ons, viscounts and dons. And all their
sons and daughters have titles, too.
In the rural districts and country
towns and villages of Spain the Anglo
Saxon traveller is disagreeaioly i'm
pressed with the heartlessness of the
people towards the dead. The ceme-
teries are shamefully neglected, and it
is not an uncommon sight to see
corpse slung across n mules back and
in this unceremonious fashion carried
to the grave; the street loungers make
scofiing remarks as such n procession
passes them, even though from super
stitious motives they doff their hats to
the dead. Indeed, life is considered very
cheaply, and manslaughter is more
common than in any other country in
the world. At the "bodega," or wine
saloon, brawl between friends will in
few minutes lead to stabbing af-
fray. AS the victim falls on the street
everybody runs from him, leaving him
perhaps to bleed to death until the
,,'guarlia civile" (policeman) arrives
at the scene. No citizen will offer help
or approach q dead or dying man for
fear of being arrested as an accessory
to the crime. AT the cry of fire" in
town everyone is supposed to assist the
police in extinguishing the flames, but
as Il rule the alarm drives every moth
er's son to hiding place. 1t is not
to be supposed that the Spaniard is
naturally coward, but rather that
centuries of misrule and oppression
(the fruit of feudal despotism of church
and state) have imbued in him a dread
of being "mixed up" in the tolls of the
law. History tells of Spanish courage
manifested in many a campaign, and
the old hidalgo spirit which pioneered
the new world had for centuries been a
dominant force in Europe and the far
east.
Times are very hard just now in
Spain and taxation is sapping the vitals
Of commercial and industrial life. For
tunately the climate is mild so that the

of his national proverbs says: ''The
pleasantest day of q visit Is that on
which the visitor departs"
That there is in 1he Spanish character
an inherent cruelty cannot be denied
The best evidence thereof is furnished
by that degrading national sport. the
bull fight. Thousands of men and wom-
en- will spend hours in watching the tor
lures inflicted on the bulls by the pro-
fessional torturers. and such crowds
are not composed of the low-borD and
tough" elements only (as are the
crowds at the prize fights and dog fights
in America). but always include the
aristocracy and even royalty. At the
last scene of the fight when the tor
reodor and ma tador. at the shouts OF
the multitude: "Fuego! fuego!" apply
darts which blaze with fire when driven
into the neck or sides of the poor beast
the audience testifies it's supreme happi-
ness at his sufferings. Cultured, con-
women look on smilingly
and reflect in their cleaning white
teeth and flashing dark eyes the tor

against Napoleon's veterans. Spain is
az her low ebb to-day, but she has had
glorious past and may inscribe on
her banner tho motto "ReSurgam" I
shall rise again). To the student of his
tory. literature or the fine arts Spain
and her people will ever be full of abb
sorbng interest and the man who trav-
els with an obscrunt eye and a ready
notebook will find Spain treasury of
good things.
Lit is famous for beautiful women
such as Velasquez, Murillo and Sebas-
tian Gomcz-loved to paint 200 years
ago. (The trouble with too many Span
ish ladies of to-day is that they do their
own paintiug.) Beauty is the birth
right of the dusky-eyed Castilian and
Andalusian. aud the country and cities
are full of clarmers. From the lofty
duchess who smiled on Sancho Panza
and the dancing girl of Seville (the type
so well expressed Ivy operutic writers)
down to the girl who makes cigarettes
for Il living and the bull-tighter's favor
tia" all Spanish women are beautiful
once in their lives.
Spanish poIiteness is remarkable.
Admire anything the Spaniard has he
immediately begs your acceptance of
it. though he would be very much sur
prised if you took him at his word.

who was the guest of q Spanish hidalgo

yours" said the polite noblemanL
whercupon our friend wanted to
"hitch up n team und take them with
him aud lie would send for The balance"
What the polite Spaniard did in this
emergency is not told, hut the probabil-
ity is that n good excuse was given for
not allowing n hoof to leave. Another
of these politeness stories is to the eff
feet that n. young English lady riding in
the country was overtaken by violent
storm and took refuge in cottage.
The hovel was full of smoke and
through the fog the lady perceived the
heads of half dozen children with
eyes staring at la bella Inglese.
"Your children?" asked the visitor by
way or starting the conversation.
"Senora. they are all yours!" was the
PEASANTS polite but startling reply. AS
Il matter of fact this Spanish courtesy
is merely veneer, so TO speak. True po-
lietness comes from Kindness, you un-
derstam the artificial variety is q sham,
resembling true courtesy as a paper
rose resembles the real queen OF flow
ers. There are exceptions, to be sure,
but the Spaniard is not hospitable. One
