Virgin, and is supposed to be under her special favor and protection. It is the ioveliest part of Spain. The summer is not very hot and the winter has seldom a sunless day. Roses blossom through out the entire winter; the dead walls are covered with morning glories and other climbing plants, brilliant with bloom in December and January, and in the spring Seville and the surrounding country is perhaps the most beautiful in all Europe, equaling southern Italy, and never suffering from the chilly winds that often make the Riviera miserable.
 As I have already told you, the north ern part of Spain is cold, treeless and dreary, and during the winter time the climate is often insufferable. Andalusia is just the reverse. The greater part of it is only three or four feet above the level of the sea, and numerous salt re- mind us that at no very distant Seolo- logical period the entire territory lay under the ocean. It is protected from the east winds by the Sierra Nevada range of the mountains, the highest ele- vation in Spain and the west and south

 between the equator and the arctic cir A of s.fo ,n1a of zone and those of the semi-tropic thrice beyond comparison, while the influence of the sun, the richness Of the soil and the moisture of the atmosphere cause the natural vegetation to grow with a luxuriance not seen outside of the trop- ics.
 As you come down from Cordova into the lower levels you seem to enter an entirely different country, where every acre that is not planted to crops is carpeted with flowers. Scarlet peoples
 and white narcissus glitter in the fields and violets, asphodels and more modest wild flowers hide under the great hedges of cactus and prickly pears like those you see in Mexico. Indeed, the i landscape is quite similar to that of the
 eastern slope of Mexico in the sub- l tropical region. You can see the same 1 fields of sugar and cotton, but they
 grow no coffee here, although the cli-
 mate is similar to that in which it thrives best in Central and South Amer 1 ica.

 turn, unlike those made and worn by the Alaskan and northwest coast tripes-
 men. The first Is the kind of moccasln
 which one sees in paintings, statues, bronze figures, and other ideal repre- sentations of the Indian history and romance. It is, or, rather, it was, the first moceasin of which the whites had any nowledge, and it left ukpon them such lasting impression that one oc- casionally sees a painting, picture, or other representation of western life in which the Indians are ewaring eastern moccasins.
 The eastern, or Iroquois-Algonquin type of moccasin is without doubt the handsomest of all. The sole is formed of several thicknesses of buclslSin, gathered over and forming a considera- ble portion of the upper, the sewing of l which give the upper the appearance of having been fluted. The upper also ex- tends above the ankles, and is turned down over the sides of the upper in a very fetching and natty manner. The western moccasins are different. The latter have parfieche soles, that are all i most as hard and durable as sole leath- i CT itself. This sole does not, however, double over the upper, which is pro- fusely ornamented with beads. They were made to eb worn inside the leg gings, and, consequently, the continua- tion of the upper is longer than in l those of the eastern type, and does not
 turn down round the upper in the man.

 MOCCASIN OF SEALSKINS i The northwest coast moccasins are often made of sealskin, with the fur inside, and have what none of the oth-
 CTS possess, namely, pointed toes. They
 are destitute of lacing strings, the en- trance for the foot being so narrow
 that once they are on the Alaskan
 mocCasins cling to the ankles and feet
 like gloves to the hand.
 So far as basektry is concerned, it is

 are practically the only basket makers
 in America, what little that is--or, rath-
 CT, was-made by the aborigines on
 this side of the Great Divide being rath-
 CT poor work compared with the baskets
 of the Pacific Slope Indians. Among
 the basketry objects made by trives liv- ing on this side of the Rockies are some
 peculiar boxes, pouches, and vessels
 woven out of wild cane splints, speci- imens of which may be seen in the Ma tional Museum. It was considered rath-
 CT rare, the Louisiana tribesmen who

 usually homemade, and the surface of the soil is merely scratched by the
 crooked stick they use for a blow. Yet everything seems to grow, and if plot os ground is neglected it reminds the
 farmer of it's powers of production by clothing itself with a blanket of flowers.

SENATOR HoAR's MEMOIRS.

Senator Hoar does not have royalty upon the sale of his book, recently pub lished. He accepted lump sum from the publishers, although he was told by them that it would no doubt be more profitable for him to receive a royalty. It is known that his reason for selling the book outright was because he pre- ferred to make use of the money now, and did not care to have it come to him in small amounts, and for a long period, as it would under the royalty system. The general impression among senators and representatives is that the book will have large sale, as there are many persons who know the Massa- chusetts senator well, and his reputa- tion extends to every part of the world where the history of the United States is read or known. It is quite evident that the senator takes pride in his pro- duction, although he does not speak of it, in any terms that would be called boastful. darlington Post.

right leg was problem the doctor didn't care to tackle. He referred the matter to the commission's committee
 on5 appeals. The committee struggled for some time but found in favor of the left leg. This was last June, and since then the commission has from time to time solemnly debated the matter until it has now decided to put Conlans name on the eligible list. It realized that if Conlan went to the courts he would, at least have fair half of the best of the argument, and would not be in the class of litigants sometimes de- scribed by lawyers as trying to fight cases in court without a leg to stand on.
