spain,s Riches.

If Spain really wants to keep up the fight and can get funds in no other way, she might turn to her cathedrals. When she was at the zenith of her power the cathedrals became the re- .eptacles of vast wealth, and for the most part that wealth remains to-day. There are many chapels that to the lepth of two inches are worth their weight in gold Not only are the mo- iaica that cover the walls of very high gaIue, but the shrines are loaded with are ornaments, and In many cases with precious stones of great size and worth. A chapel in the great Cathe- Iral of Sevilla has Virgin lighted by huge emerald fixed in the roof above he head, and the garments of the Vir- in and saints have jewels seWed on hem. Here, then, are untold riches, ut a country would be far gone, in Iced, to make use of so sacred relics or carrying on an unholy war. At present. they are vigorously guarded.

Sheridan at the Miiliner,s.

Gen. Sheridan as he became older conquered his shynsss. At the time Of the Commune he was in Paris with his aide-de-camp. There was also stop ping at the same hotel a charming American woman with whom he was slightly acquainted. The prisoners dad been liberated and were rushing madly through the streets. The order had also been given that all windows and shutters must be kept closed. Shut up in her dark room and hearing the noisy rabble below, the woman became greatly alarmed.
 "There is but one thing for me to Io," she cried, "to insure safety. 1 will put myself under the care of the Amer can General
 She therefore sent her card to Sheri- Ian, who at once called and offered his services. He also advised that she should join his party ill the morning md get away to London. Still she ap- Deared distressed. Finally she cried: Tt is my bonnets at Virot's. They were to have been down to-day. How .an I go and leave them?"
 The General grasped the situation, and offered his arm to escort her to the milliner's. Happily it was not far off. Ever afterward he delighted to tell of lis pleasure at seeing such an array of lainty headgear. He had never been 1t a milliner's before.

THE SPEED OF THE HORSE.
CIassseA He is the syvifsest Animal in
 the World.

CIasssea He is the syviftest Animal in
 the World.
 A man on a horse is twice man. He feels more secure, is braver, is in every way more formidable. European officers know this. In clearing the streets of Paris only cavalry are used. We call out the infantry of the militia and have to shoot people. In Europe they use the flat of sword held by mounted man. No unarmed body of humanity will stand the impact of horses. They melt before the charge like snow. It is the uncomfortable in stinct to get out of the way and to do 1t as soon as possible. Some day we will grow wiser oil this side of the Att lantic. Just now we have fifty infan- try companies of militia to one of cav airy. Many of our militlamen are un- able to pay for the keep of a horse, which is expensive, even if man does the caring and bedding with his OWL hands. Many others of them would not know what to do with horse if they had one. This Is bad, but with the trolley and the bicycle crowding the steed of our fathers closer and closer to the wall there is not much chance that it will be bettered. Five hundred years from now, unless all signs fail, grayheaded college profess DTS, with piano-ealyes and eighteen Inch chests, will be featuring upon an extinct animal and reconstructing him tor the benefit of students from piece of stifle and a front tooth.
 I believe that the horse is the swift est animal in the world. One hears strange tales of the speed of the ante- ope, the white-tailed fawn, the spring bok, the elephant, the jack rabbit and the wolf The fastest of these is the American antelope, and have never seen one that a good pony could not best. As for the rabbit or any kind of l deer, the horse will simply run over him. Taking into consideration the fact that the horse generally carries more than 150 pounds of rider, saddle
 and gun, one gets an idea of how much superior he is. A speedy pony will outrun a greyhound. I have seen this 1 tried. It is customary among men who use them to give tue dogs all the law possible in order to avoid riding over I them. In hunting with brace of very 1 good coursing hounds five years ago it
 was found that there were five ponies i In the party which would outfoot the l dogs, and one of them, a gray of un- 1 doubted mustang ancestry If given the l bit would do his best to run over them and kill them. He did not like them. 1 They belonged to his owner and he l was jealous.

Smallest Queen in the World.

Probably the smallest monarch in the world reigns over the Hindoo vas sal state of Bophal, and governs peo-- ple of more than a million souls. This. dwarf is a woman, Djihan-Begum by name; but although she is about 50 years old, she does not appear larger than a child of ten. Her diminutive size does not prevent her, however, from holding the reins Of government with a firm hand, and in her realm quiet and order are supreme.

EMPRESS OF CHINA.
CLEVER BUT uNscRUpULous WOMAN
 WHO RULES 4oo, ,ooo, GOO PEOPLE.

Has Attracted the AttentioA of the Givi-
 Ized Wor1d-The Most Brilliant Woman
 in the East-Was Slave When the Elm
 peror Saw and Loved Her.
 The dowager empress of China eTuen-Tson-Hsi) is now the absolute mistress of 4O0,OOO,O00 people. She has deposed the divine ruler," over turned a dynasty, made bargains with kings and emperors, laughed in the face of Great Britains best statesmen and set herself up as the real and only mogul. Her sway extends from the rising sun to the summits of the mighty mountains overlooking India.
 The eyes of the civilized world are turned upon her. Her will may pre- eipitate the bloodiest war that man has known. Her whim or caprice may in- volve Christendom in the struggle of history. The dowager is now sixty five years old, and probably the most brilliant woman in the East. She was slave when the late emperor saw her and loved her. In the Orient the king ID au poWeIIuI5 dha princes may marry beggar girls at their will. Tuen's beau- ty won her position and power, and her fine brain-seheming through all the years, the real power behind the throne has at last made her the mistress of the Chinese empire.
 Tuen is not the mother of the de- throned emperor. She is his step- mother, which accounts for the cruelty with which she has treated the sacred monarch. The situation in China to- day is this: The dowager is supreme mistress of the country. Rang Yu Mei,

who was going to reform the antique customs of the kingdom, has fled in precipitation. The emperor, who re- gently took from Ii Hung Chang the yellow symbol of power-is a prisoner in his own palace. The crooked stick blow policy is in the as cendant Russia is backing the dow ager and Li will soon be placed on the throne of power once more. Picking is freer, apparently, to-day from the im- press of Western civilization than ever. Great Britain sees her glorious trade prospects vanishing, and with them the United States sees her own hope of commerce in China dwindling.

KANNS EASTER OPENING.
1t Is Attended by Thousands of

The Easter opening of S. Kann, Sons

The great store of this enterprising

people from the time the sun came out

1t is safe to predict that the tides of
people will continue to flow through the
establishment till a late hour Tonight
If kann's corner was ever worthy the
title of THE Busy Cornert il was par
ticularly worthy Of it today The mass
of humanity not only blocked the aisles
Of the mammoth store. but rendered it
difficult for pedestrians to move along
the sidewalk. Even the streets in the
neighhorhood presented n holiday aspect
by reason of the surging mass of gay
clad people.
The corner of Eighth Street and Penn
sylvania Avenue was a veritable jam of
shifting, restless humankind.
The interior of the establishment was
bright with flowers and ribbons, rap
turous with music, noisy with laughter
and converse, and fragrant with perfume.
which was sprayed from tiny fountains.
The long aisles were buttressed on
either side with silks, satins, and laces.
The aisles Were floral bowers.
Another picturesque feature of the open
ing was the presence of birds-not stuffed
for the ornamentation of womens hats
but living songsteTs who ChiTped and
chippered merrily as though the occasion
gave them especial pleasure.
Thousands of the patrons and those
who will be patrons. strolled along tn,
aisles and sampled the soft and brilliant
stuffs that were piled in high stacks
about the store.
Scores of clerks, dressed in natty
clothes. were kept busy answering ques- |
tons, and eNpatiating upon the wearing !
qualities Of the goods exposed for sale.
People laughed and chartered. the birds |
chippered and sang, and the band played |
on.
The musicians were screened behind |
jungle of ferns, palms and tropic greens |
II was great day at The Busy Cor |
ner' and the prospect is that the enthu-
siasm will continue into the night.
Numerous electrical effects have been |
striven for and the lighting OF the store
tonight will be n sensation.
