saviIIe,s Tower Of GiraTda.

From its great antiquity alone If
from nothing else it is plain that the
Giralda at Seville could not have hpt-n
studied from the tower of the MadiSol
Sluare Garden in New York. which
the American will recall when he secs
it. If the case must be reversed afd
we must allow that the Madison
Square tower was studied from the
Giralda. we must still recognize that
it is no servile copy. but in its frank
imitation has grace and beauta
which achieve originality. Still the
Giralda is always the Giralda, and.
though there had been no Saint Gau
dens to tip it's summit with such Il fly
ing footed nymph as pOises on our
tower the figure of Faith which
crowns it is ut least good weather
vane and from it's office of turning gives
the mighty bell tower its name. Long
centuries before the tower was a bel
fry it served the mosque, which the
cathedral now replaces, as Il minaret
for the muezZin to call the faithful to
prayer. but it was then only two-thirds
as gh-Harper's Magazine.

Cultured Hindus.

In Bengal there are about 10000
GOO of people, and they boast of
perhaps the best culture in India ut
the present time. The language as a
written language is only fifty years
old Though for over thousand
years it has been a dialect. there is in
Indian history unfortunately no trace
of Bengali having been an important
literary tongue. The language orig
inateS from Sanskrit. the mother
tongue from which every other Indian
language has borrowed it's alphabet.
grammar and vocabulary: but. unlike
The others. Bengali never Shrinks
from gathering new materials. There
are numerous Persian. French. Ara
bic and English words Incorporated in
it. and the wonder of it is that, in
stead of having been degraded into
some vulgar form like pidgin English.
Tpngali has become the most literary.
scientific and perhaps the most philo-

General naunnesniHs Leg.

General DaumeSniis wooden and iron

The warrior is question lost one of
his legs at the battle of Wagram. and
when he returned to Paris it was re
placed by y mechanical continuance of
timber with iron springs. Although
crippled. the old soldier remained III
active service and was in command of
the Vincennes fort in 1914 when the
allies were in Paris. 1t was to the
troops of the anti-Napoleon coalition

called upon to give up his fort, Let

CHRISTMAS IN MANILA.

CHRISTMAS for the majority OF the
225. 900 inhabitants of Manila
that is. the FilipinOs-beginS on Christ
mas eve. There are no stockings hung.
however. for stockings are not popular,
even with the most ariStOcratic SenOri-
tas. who usually go bare ankled. Mid
night mass is the occasion which
brings thousands to the churches.
These fine edifices are thrown open
and blaze with myriads of candles and
electric lights.
Manila at midnight on Christmas
eve is probably gayer than at any 9th
err time of the year. The streets are
thronged with carriages and people in
their best attire. Many Americans
turn out on Christmas eve also TO see
the displays and the people and make
church to church inspection tours in
parties. Fine trained chOirs and string
ed OrcheStraS render excellent music.
The weather during the holiday sea-
son is just cool enough to dispel the
chronic laZiness which pervadeS Ma
Mia during most of the year and put
a little spice into the blood. At noon
the thermometer will probably not go
over "a or 50 degrees At night, how
ever, blanket on the bed is not too
much

The Stone Ace

The stone age still exists among
some of the islanders of the south Pa
cific and the Eskimos of the extreme
north as we'll as in a few other spots
here and there on earth. The progress
Of early culture in Europe seems to
have been from the south and east to-
ward the north and west, so that the
emergence of the different peoples from
their age of stone was accomplished
much earlier in southern and eastern
Europe than in the north and west.
But, while the stone age of different
areas is thus not necessarily synchro-
nous, it seems to be true of all Euro
pean areas that this is the earliest con-
dition in which man has appeared upon
them. This holds for all other areas
as well, evidences of the stone age
having been fully established in In
Ola, China, Japan, Africa and the
Americas

Emily Rronte,s Looks.

discussion as to the personal APP
pearance Of Emily Bronte reveals the
remarkable fact that no one knows
anything about it since there is no au-

sisterly candor that SO seldom errs ON

A French Comedy.
