street terraces upward, a th%oroughfare Of
supreme ~unevenness, and from the valley
to tho castle door you meet placid recum.
bent pigs almost at every yard. They lie
about like the cats in the Lisbon streets,
and no one interfercs. They sit on their
hams ut the thresholds of tho houses, and
when the within seizes them stroll into the
dwellings with curious little spasmodic
twistings Of the tail. They even climb the
stairs like the two legged inmates, and
again, when urged by tho whim, take the
air on tho agreeable old balconies above.
Thence from amid hanging crcepers and
household crockery, their long, slate blue
shouts peer down upon tho passerby with
q critical air that Is %curiously offensive.
This. mind you, not in u poor little
hamlet like those of Connomara, but in
the chief street Of q district capital Of
Spain, with an assuming town hall close
to the swine. The air here, which ought
to be as sweet and fresh rs that of Skid.

Spanish hamlets one has to say "By your
leave" to tho bronzed porkers and tinkline
goats which block tho thoroughfare, but
In Puebla de Sanabria the pigs resent the

Why.

Why.
There is something almost plaintive in
the truly English word ''why." It may
be indefinitely prolonged upon the lips.
"Why" is almost poetioal in itself and ft-
ly introduces the best hexameter in the
language:
"Why do the heather rage and tho peo-
pie imagine q vain thingt"
Its uses in poetry arc almost infinite,
and one modern writer makes almost q
line Of 1t alone:
Why do the night winds sigh,
The sea birds wildly cry,
The hummer clouds pass by,
The liics droop md die,
The light fade from the skyf
Why-oh, whyf
To most Of the why's there is not o good
because. The inquiring mind Is puzzled
to account for many things besides its
own existence. Hundreds Of such ques-
lions occur to us at every step, and nc sat
isfactory reply can DO expected. Life Is toe
short. Socrates wasalways saying why, =
and we have all heard Of the man who
called Pope the ''little crookedthing that
asked questions. Exchange.
