Spafn's Great Building.

Spain possesses one of the largest
buildings in the world. 1t is at once a
palace, a museum, a library, a picture
gallery, a monastery, a church and a
burial place. This wonderful edifce
is called the Escorial, although the
name is very generally corrupted both
in England and America into "Escuri-
al"
The Escorial was commenced in 1863
by order of Philip II. of Spain and was
intended partly as a royal burial place
for the kings of Spain and partly as a
commemoration Of Philips victory
over the French at st. Quentin in 1857.
1t is built entirely of granite, and
measures 744 feet in length by $50 feet
in breadth. At each corner is a tower
200 feet in height. The building is
supposed to represent an enormous
gridiron lying upside down, and this
shape is believed to have reference to
st. Lawrence, who was martyred on a
gridiron.
Twenty-one years were spent in
building it. and it cost s12, 600, 600. 1t
has been twice partly destroyed by
lightning and was sacked by the
French soldiers in 1908. There are
$4,000 doors and 1000 windows.

IN JAIL OF DEBT.
A Debtors Prison Where immortality
Reigned Supreme.

The Kings Bench was the largest Of
all the debtors prisons. 1t formerly
stood on the east side of the High
street, ON the site of what is now the
second street north of st. Georges
Church, London. This prison was
taken down in 1853, and the debtors
were removed to a larger and much
more commodious place on the other
side of the street south of Liant street
the site is now marked by a number Of
new and very ugly houses and mean
streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners
had to lie two in a bed, and even for
those who could pay there were not
beds enough, and many slept on the
floor of the chapel. There were 395
prisoners; in addition to the prisoners
many of them had wives and childreH
with them. There were 279 wives and
275 children-a total of 1899 sleeping
every night in the prison. There was a
good water supply, but there was no
lnfirmary, no resident surgeon, and no
bath. Imagine a place containing 1899
persons, and no bath and no infirmary!
Among these prisoners, about a hum
dred years ago, was a certain Colonel
George Hanger, who has left his "Me-
moirs" behind him for the ediication
Of posterity. According to him the
prison ''rivaled the purlieus of Wap-
ping, st. Giles, and st. James in vice,
debauchery, and drunkenness" The
general immortality was so great that it
was only possible, he says, to escape
contagion by living separate, OF by
consorting only with the few gentle
men of honor who might be found
there. otherwise a man will quickly
sink into dissipation: he will lose every
sense of honor and dignity, every moral
principal and %virtuous disposition"

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for wen years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of us
a bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re-
lieved on taking the first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes w,

If one can be led to accept without
question the proposition that charac-
ter is the essential thing. it will not
be difficult to have him see that Chris
tianity gives the best definition of a
true character. 1t seems almost self
evident now that Christianity has il
Illustrated the true life. that patience,
~self-control, kindness, gentleness,
truthfulness, honesty and self-sacri-
flee are works of the only character
worth having. If these things are so,
the most simple and experienced must
see that religion is the one thing need
full. Reliance on God, surrender to
Him. and trust in Him cannot but
prepare the ground for the growth of
these virtues.-Rev. j.. j. Berry.

A High Railway.

The highest mountain railway in

two miles above sea level. The power

The Japanese always bury their dead
with the head to the north. and for
