Then for the bull fight, first of all, for such as can manage to muster together enough pesetas for places. And how many thousand ar ticles go to the pawnshop each year in order that money be found to pay for this pleasure! Then to the prom enades in carriages for the wealthier or vainer; always over the same prom enade, such as convention has perma- nently agreed upon.

For not few of these equipages present have been obtained for Sunday by sacrifices of things more necessary during the week. But now there one is, being seen
 in a landau with liyeried coachman and
 footman, and to be seen a whole aft ernoon in the park of the Retio. And no danger of not being seen; for in this park there IS only one drive, which you mount at trot and descend at walk
 These drives strike me as being one of the most striking commentaries on
 Spanish vanity. For if you are a Span iard and claim any social standing, not to be seen there and salute your ac- quaintances once week at least is re- marked upon; and if you are not known to be wealthy you are rather suspected of being impecunious. Here little ob- servation will show you who is who;
 and if Senor and Sonora So and So is on familiar terms with such another. This will be indicated by the peculiar man- ner of salutation. If it be by formal bow you may be sure that their ac- quaintance is but formal. But should you notice a salutation of a peculiarly Spanish kind, rapid motioni1g of all

Immediately preceded Waterloo was himself with the British army. Indeed, he kept so close to the commander in chief that the "Iron Duke" not know ing him, fancied he must be either q spy or possible assassin, and threa tened to hang him if he again appeared near headquarters.
 The day of the great battle Roths- child, from his horse on the hill of Hougoumont, watched the struggle of the nations, and when at last he saw that the French army was in retreat, posted off to Brussels as fast as his horse could carry him, from whence a carriage in waiting conveyed him to Ostend. There he found a storm rag ing on the channel and the sailors fearful 10 cross. But he knew neither fear nor danger when he saw the glint of gold. He offered first GOO. then 800 francs to be taken to the English coast. At last, upon his offering a,500 francs. a fisherman having greater courage or greater cupidity than his fellows un- dertook the dangerous task. Before nightfall Rothschild had landed at Dover and without waiting for mo- ment's rest was on his way to London On the goth of June he appeared at the stock exchange. He told his friends, in consequence, of course, that Butchers

army had been utterly destroyed by Napoleon at Ligny on the 16th and 17th, and that as a result of this defeat there could be no hope for Wellington. His whisperings poisoned the public faith on every side. The funds went tum- bling into tbe bottomless pit of com mercial panic, while private and public credit ceased to exist.
 As stocks and bonds went down Rothschild bought all the consols, bills and. notes he could raise the money to pay for. Then he waited secure in his knowledge of the reaction that would follow the news from Waterloo. On the e2d of June this news reached london. Values went up more rapidly than they had previously gone down, and shrewd old Nathan Rothschild counted as his some six millions more of gold.
 Of all the great fortunes of Amer ica the one most distinctly and legitimately a war fortune is that of the De Fonts, who for almost a cen tury have controlled the manufacture of gunpowder in the United States.
 In 1s02 Eleuthere I. Du Pont a French refugee. established hlmself ln Delaware, where he commenced in a small way the manufacture of exple- sives. The war of 1872 and the Mexican war did much for the industry which his descendants carried on. In every gen ration one or more members of the family have paid for the family riches with their lives through explosions in tue mills, for the Du Fonts must be their own chemists and superintend- pnts and mechanics. The priceless se- .rets of their craft pass from father to Dn. During the civil war their con tract with the government involved millions of dollars, and the present war with Spain, when the cost of firing single proiectile is enormous, will add greatly to their wealth, whi2h is esti- mated to exceed S100,0oo,oo0.

We are accustomed to regard war as the exclusive opportunity of the soldier, but 1t has made fortunes as well as reputations; the struggle for victory at the front has had it's parallel in the equally fierce struggle for wealth on the stock exchange.
 1t was Waterloo that made secure the lame of Wellington as soldier. It was Waterloo that made secure also the finacial dynasty of the Rothschilds.
 Shrewd old Nathan Rothschild had waited for Napoleon's downfall, firm in the faith that it must sooner or later come. His agents had followed the Corsican in his various campaigns that he might have the first news of his overthrow, and, during the days that

Patriotic Children.

A young boy, student of a Cincinnati school, conceived the idea of taking 6 popular subscription among the children ot the United States to raise money with which to build battle ship to replace tho Maine which was 60 treacherously sunk Tn Havana harbor by the Spaniards. He submitted the proposition to the Chamber of Commerce, of that city, which immediately adopted the sugges ton and arranged for the disposition of the fund. The idea took like wildfire and from all over the United States the childrep's money is pouring in, until 1t looks like, without other help, the young people will supply the means to put on to the waters of ihe ocean the American Boy" as it IS proposed to call the battle. ship. The Kingman children, not to be behind in anything patriotic, have started list which is being circulated by Master Gerald Delamer and Clayton Metcalfe So far they have secured F 45$ cub. scribed by the. following names.
