THE GRANDEEs OF SPAIN.
Curious Custom of 'Head Covering"
When They Are EnnObIed.

CURIOUS custom of "Head Covering
When They Are EnnobIed.
The ceremony Of "head covering" was
recently performed by number of
Spanish peers, who thereby passed to
the rank of grandees Of Spain. The
ceremony, interesting on account Of its
antiquity and Its historical significa-
tion, is, like many Spanish customs, re-
markable for its extreme simplicity.
The peers who took part in it were
the Count of Cabra, the Count of Pla-
sencia, the Marquis of Rafal, the Mar
quls Of Malferit, the Marquis of Bena-
NEIL the Count del Real, the Marquis
Of Hoyos, the Marquis de la Cenia the
Count Of Bilboa, the Marquis of viana
and the Marquis of Tovar, who were
each attended by a grandee as their
sponsor. When they had made three
customary reverences to the throne, the
queen regent, in the kings name, babe
them "Cover your heads and speak,"
The speeches which followed, justify
ing the right Of each peer to the honor
he was receiving, were for the most
part interesting excursions into the past
history Of Spain. The first, which was
also the most brief, that of the Count
Of Cabra, may serve as an example:
"Senora, If noblesse obllges me to re-
ceive the honor of covering my head
in the presence Of your majesty, came
here obliged by the merits and virtues
Of my forefathers, and with the desire
at least to Initiate them, although to do
so in reality may, unfortunately, be i'm
possible. l am called Osorio, Borbon,
Ponce de Leon. Carrillo dc Albornoz.

Pennsylvania may now be ranked
with those States which have secured
new capitol buildings erected within
the amount appropriated. The new
capitol in Harrisburg was turned over
to the building commission by the con-
tractors four months ahead of the date
on which 1t was to have been finished.
The cost Of the building is $4,000 less
than the amount appropriated. She
building Itself is splendid pile Of
granite, covering two acres of ground
and surmounted by a dome 292 feet
high. The State has followed the ex-
ample set by the nation in the Con-
gressional Library In Washington, for
the original appropriation included sew
eral hundred thousand dollars to be
spent on interior and exterior decora-
tlons by noted American painters and
6culptors.

American men, and especially Ken
tucky men, have always been noted
for their appreciation of American
women and their gallantry to them.
Now they have their reward Thirty
six Kentucky "schoolma' ANS" who
spent the summer travelling on the con-
tinent, remarked, when they set foot
upon their native soil again, that as
compared with the Americans the men
OF Europe are "a most ornery- looking

sibility Of indlcting a whole people.

WHAT IS "REAL" LIFE2
BY Juliet Y. Strauss.

A friend of mine said to me recent
ly, speaking Of another friend that
she was having her first glimpse of
real society. wondered If there could
be anything real in society as it has
come to be in these latter years. 1t is
a great question whether anything has
intrinsic value. Value is entirely
relative affair and l doubt if we know
it when we are actually up against
the real thing, if l may use the most
of our unspeakable
slang.

the trial, the other she refused to tell
because the apparition of Henry Craw-
ford appeared In front of her and
warned her, saying, "Your fortune is

She left Rennes with an empty purse,

Atherton Brownell contributes an ar
ticle entitled 'The Commercial Annex
alton Of Cuba" to Appleton's Magazine,
the facts and figures in which are of
special significance In the present Gu
ban crisis. 1t shows that the interest
of the United States In Cuba is differ
ent in the year 1906 from what 1t was
In 1898. Up to the earlier year Amer
lean interests had invested in Cuba
about $S0,OOO,0O0, principally In sugar
and tobacco. AS much more has been
invested since the war, so that now the
American capital invested in the island
amounts to $160,O00,OOO About 4,3O7,-
600 acres of land in Cuba, about 10 per
cent of the whole area Of the island
or much larger percentage of the
land under cultivation, belongs to
Americans. Three-fourths of the $4O,-
100000 worth Of cattle on the island be-
long to Americans. One-third Of the
money invested in railroads, $24,5OO,-
600, Is American, as against $4S,931,-
600 Cuban and British. American cap
ital monopolizes electric transporta-
tion, telegraph and telephone systems
In Cuba. The bonds of the Cuban re-
public were bought by q New York
house. American capital has given
new life to the island, and our inter-
est Is no longer merely sentimental
one. The Cuban market Is the only
n
States sells as many goods as all other
nations combined. Cuba's buying power
is about $1O0,0O0,0O0 annually, and
one-half Of this is spent in the United
States, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Argentina, Venezuela, and Brazil to-
gether do not buy as much as Cuba.
Its 100000 people, If there are that
many there, buy from us more than the
5OO,OOO,OOO people of Japan and China
Cuba has an open door. Americaniza-
tion Of Cuba will be slow task, If not
an impossible one, If by that Is meant
the substitution Of Anglo Saxon habits
of thought In social relations or In
business interests for the Spanish type.
Amerlcanization In the sense of max
ing the United States the dominant fac
tor In the material prosperity of the
island and in the value of the inter-
ests as represented there has pro-
gressed a long way since the last
Spanish governor general sailed away.
American occupation, temporary though
it was, freed Havana from the yellow
fever pest and taught lessons of santa
tion which have made the island a fit
place for Americans to live In, and the
number of colonists who have gone
there from the United States Is not
Insignificant. Atherton Brownell, in
Appleton's Magazine, sums up the situ-
alton by saying that "in the four years
since the Intervention period move
ment quietly has been going on that is
rapidly tending toward practical COM
mercial annexation" Under whatever
form of government develops in Cuba,
provided that it preserves order, fur
ther injection of American capital Is
inevitable. The future Of Cuba and
that Of the United States are linked
together by ties of mutual advantage,
and as the natural resources Of the is
land develop the time will soon come
when a majority Of the people of Cuba
will be of American birth and allie
glance, and majority Of the wealth
will be an American possession. Then
the Cuban problem will have disap-
peared.

The First bathing Machine.

There does not seem TO be much
doubt that the first bathing machine
was seen at Margate and that it was
the invention of a worthy Quaker
named Beale, who placed his hopeful
invention on the Margate beach in
1850. The public are obliged TO Ben
jamin Beale, one Of the people called
Quakers, for the invention" writes the
author Of "a Short Description of the
Isle of Thanet," published in 1876.
But it was the old story, the public be-
came grateful after the inventor had
been ruined by his enterprise. His
successors had reaped the harvest.
Old Benjamin Beale's widow could re-
member in her last days the first fam
lily that ever resorted to Margate for
the purpose of bathing being carried
into the sea in covered cart. In 1903
Beales machines were one of the in
stitutions of Margate. 1t was alarm

be driven to any depth into the sea by

Didn't HeIong t. Colorado.

In the early days of Leadville there
was a singular character living by
the name of Major Martin McGinnis.
The major was the important man of
the camp, and when any distinguished
parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin McGinnis and
presented with the freedom Of the
camp on a gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over to examine and to report
upon the mineral deposits Of this 10
cality. They were received by Major
Martin McGinnis, who put them i'm car
riages and took them around the camp.
AS they were going up California
gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out of the carriage and commenced
TO hammer and chisel upon large
black bowlder that lay alongside the
road. The major watched them ges-
ticulating TO one another. and he final
ly said to the Interpreter: "What do
they meanE What are they talking
about;' The interpreter said, They
say that rock don't belong here" The
major said: The deuce il don't, You
say to those foreigners that | won't
stand for them coming over here and
running down our country. Tell them
that they can find anything anywhere
in Colorado"
