''No, thousands upon thousands

The minister remembered two

Love Making Seems to Be a Sort Of
Mania In Spain.
Writes one who has travelled much
in Spain: "As the majority Of Anda-
lusian girls are engaged at the age of
seventeen. the senoritas do not go to
many dances, for Spaniard would as
soon allow his fiancee to dance with
another man as he would let her wear
a harem skirt or ride a bicycle At
their parties Spanish girls get unbound
ed admiration. and a senior who had
reached the age of nineteen and talked
to a girl without trying to make love
to her would be considered gauche in
the extreme. The guests are given
nothing to eat on these festive occa-
sions, glasses Of cold water being sim
ply handed round when they are leav-
ing.
Love is an all absorbing topic in
this amorous land of orange flowers
and revolutions. In Spain we do not
talk of money; we talk of love- a
Spaniard once said to me. He was
right, for love is the beginning and
end Of every Spaniard's thoughts. On
the feast days the young men play no
games, preferring to stand about and
see the girls pass, and in every daily
newspaper you win read of duels
fought for some fair senorita's favors

times a year with newness and
passion that has In it something of
molten lava and is about as durable

In restaurant in the lower part OF
New York number of Russian exiles
were dining and talking. One of them
told the following experiences:
Ten years ago we revolutionists
were sometimes as much puzzled at
one another's movements as the gov.

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS.

Why We Tie String Around a Finger
to Remember Something.
We speak of the association Of ideas.
We do not associate Ideas In our mind.
but we associate the mental picture
of things-of forms and .colors and
other material qualities. We can form
no conception of an abstract quality,
as goodness. except In its association
with material thing.
Every thought must have a material
basis. and 1t Is retained In our mind
through association with some other
object, the picture Of which we have
retained. There are some things so
closely bound up In our existence or
that have been reproduced SO often
that no effort Is required to instantly
recall them or reproduce them in our
mind. Our name, our birthday or
something that we know by heart and
can repeat without an effort, are ex-
amples. Most things require an effort
to recall them. and we recall num-
Der of things and try to find one with
which the thing we seek Is associated.
In tying the string around the finger
we associate the idea, the deed or the
thing that we want to remember with
the string or knot As this Is fire.
quently seen, we frequently get the
association between the string and the
thing we want to remember, and this
serves to recall It.-New York Ameri-

In one manufacturing plant the su.

every foreman responsible for raw ma

material could not be had from the
general store except on requisition, and
the general store would honor no requi

totaled at the end of each month to en-
able the superintendent to make COM

This put the foreman on his guard
not to fill out a requisition for some

also claimed that it had a tendency to
develop his men into more skilled me

Has Your Neighbor a Parrot.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
In the house next to me the family
keeps a parrot. The supremest joys OF
life nave beer lost If you haven't lived
In a house next to a parrot. Especially
is this true where the inmates OF the
house join in with the feathered
creature" in mimiery and uplifting cor
v~ersation. A talkatfve parrot Is secon0
TO none as a goat-getter, and a per
sistent a Is the limit.
For breaking up the tranquility of any
home a talking parrot has got a TALKING
woman backed up in the corne boiler
ing for help. She hasn't got the VIM
to cling to it like the animal in the
cage.
Tho consummate JOY comes when tn
parrot and some old-fashioned woman
join In a contest to see which can really
hold out the longer. The parrot will
screech and the old lady will mimic the
bird, and upon my word heretofore |
had always supposed 1t was the other
way around. But, no sir; whatever the
parrot says or does the human parrot
does the same and gives such a good
imitation that 1t worries me to tell
which is which at times.
Is this taste for parrots born In a per
son or Is it acquired. or do people have
parrots thrust upon them? guess the
last is right so far as my particular case
Is concerned.

HOW THE DEMOCRAT REGARDS AFT.

m s President Taft, if nominated, would probably not carry
Il Il a single State in November and would surely invite a
ruinous defeat for his party organization, Democrats
might be expected to desire his nomination at Chicago. But,
as a rule, Democratic sentiment rises above that selfish partisan
consideration. The average Democrat is so bitterly incensed at
Taft because of the character of his administration that he
Will rejoice to see a President whom he looks upon as recreant
70 his great public trusts beaten and Inundated at Chicago.
That feeling does credit to the patriotism of a citizen. In the
great crowds that greeted Roosevelt in his campaign were many
thousands OF Democrats inspired by their detestation of the
present administration and applauding the man who was hold
ing it up to the condemnation of his own party. Love of good
government, of justice to the people and of fair dealing in office,
and hatred of the things that Taft represents, have proved
superior In Democratic minds TO mere partisan advantages. Saws
the Democratic voter of Taft: owe could put up a yellow dog
against him and beat him" And yet the average Democrat will
be rejoiced when Taft is knocked out by honest party sentiment
at Chicago.
