Gayety In thu Spanish City Il Then at Ia
Greatest Height.
In the evening. after dinner. about s
o'clock, we drew chairs out upon our
little balcony above the Paseo. Listless
groups had gathered about it's cafes.
Two gypsy children, as black as ne
groes, i'm their scant white shirts, with
persistent hands and voices were carry
ing on Spain's one flourishing business,
but 1T was not q stimulating sight, and,
tired out with the days journey, we
went at once to bed. It must have been
two or three hours later when we were
awakened by loud crash Of cymbals
and blast Of trumpets. Our first thought
was that soldiers weremarching through
the town, and we hurried to the win
dow to see. Below great mass Of peo-
pie were seated under the palms. Open
carriages were passing up and down on
each side, and men on horseback. Very
smart nurses, with great bows Of ribbon
on their heads, had brought wide awake
babies out for AN airing. Great trucks
and vans Of merchandise rumbled by.
Workmen were about. Half way down
the Paseo band had just begun to play.
The cafes were 'ablaze with light, their
tables crowded to overlooking. Cordova
at midnight had come to life.
The air was hot and close, used up by
that vast mnititude. and the dust, stir
red by their ceaseless march, choked us
where we stood. II was hopeless to try
to sleep again, and we waited by the
window. OF a sudden bell sounded
loud above the voices Of the crowd. At
once the band was hushed, carriages
were stopped, the people on the chairs
under the palms were on their feet, and
not man but stood, hat in hand. We
looked to the end Of the Paseo, for ev-
erybody was looking that way. From
out the doors of the Moorish minaret
crowned church came procession Of
men in white surplices, with Pickering
candles and tall lanterns, and priest
carrying the sacrament, under it's golden
veil, to the dying. Men who moment
before had been drinking fell upon their
knees, and we could hear nothing but
the tinkling bell and the murmur Of a
low chant, as the priest walked slowly
on between the rows of kneeling people,
praying there in the starlight under the
palms. And SO in Spain today, as yes
terday, does life in a moment change
from fooling to prayer, as the shadow
Of death passes by, only to return to it's
folly as readily when the shadow has
passed. Once the priest had gone back
to the church. and the doors were shut,
the music, louder than ever, went on
where it had left of, carriages rolled
on, and horsemen pranced after them.
There was no sleeping any more. We
dressed and packed our bags, and when
in the first dawn the band went away
and the last few stragglers were going
home and a few peasants were coming
inwith their donkeys and cafes were
being shut we took our places in the
hotel coach and drove off to the station
in time to catch the express from Mad
rid to Seville. Elizabeth r. PenneH

Ierpetuate their memory, novel and

MOTHER NATURE.

Nature. the gentlest mother.
IMPATIENT Of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardesA
Her admonition mild
In forest and the hill
BY traveller Is heard
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or TOO impetuous bird.
How fair her conversation
A summer afternoon,
Her household, her assembly,
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
OF the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.
When all the children sleep,
She turns as long away
As will suffice TO light her lamps,
Then. bending from the sky,
With infinite affection
And inflnfter care,
Her golden Anger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

The Decline Of the jaw.

And now it is claimed that the jaw
bones Of civilized peoples are gradually
becoming attenuated, chiefly owing to
the prolonged use Of knives and forks.
There need be no fear, however, that
welwill lose the use Of the jaws. The
habit Of chewing gum will soon restore
these portions Of our anatomy to their
pristine strength.
