THE GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
They Cannot stand DcinE Accused of

P~ecuIinritiea.

a writer for Rlnckwood's Magazine
Is interested In the curious habits of
the grandecs Of Spain. According TO
this magazine. the Spanish nobility at
h capital cannot be accused of being
bnobs. masters and servants living to-
gether In a state of familiarity that
the writer finds amazing. lie says:
One day Mt dinner my host. Marquis

Eer that when the conductor came TO
collect the fares on the train that morn
Ing he had refused to take his. saying
that IL was already paid. The marquis,
looking about to find his friend, dis
covered Manuel, his valet. on the plat
form smiling and making signs to him
that he had paid the masters fare.
Later the writer was crossing the At
lnntic on n Spanish steamer With n
duke and his valet de chambre. They
both Travelled hrst.class. ate ut the
same table and offered each other
cigars. Their statcrooms were alike in
every particular. Continuing, the ar
tfclc says that there Is nothing Span
iards hold in such horror as reading,
especially the Printed paper Is
intimately connected in their minds
with the loss OF the noul and eternal
punishment"
