' 1'auia, Majohica, Jan. 31.--In these
days of strong and s ift steamers plying be
tween England and all Iediterranean ports,
it is but a voyage of two nights and a day
iroin Gibraltar to the city of Palma, the
capital ot the Spanish dependency and
Proince of Balearica, comprising the Bele
aric Islands: or, if you are wintering in
Southwestern Spain, you may journey in a
night from Valencia or Barcelona to this
least visited and most beautiful of all
Slediternmean regions.
Your steamer is seldom out of sight of
some huge or tiny Mediterranean craft and
there is always couciouMicss of pleasant
aearncss of other human interests and a
quiet and restful s.eae of companionship
upon this great land-Iocl.ed sea although
it is longer than the Atlantic is broad be
tween Newfoundland and Ireland I have
never Lnovu or felt ou other Maters.
Howevr tre.K-hcrous the Mediterranean
lias been to others. I hae necr seen its
face sale in its blandest, swcetct mood;
wJien its skies were lair, the sunshine above
it mild and loving, its airs zephyrus and
dreamful, and its f ice as blue and smiling
sb a rift, oi June-day heaven.
Like a IVrfumcd Cloud.
Then, too, before the tropic night settles
softly upon tiic sea and land like a per
luased, translucent cloud of daikeufng pearl,
there is sprcid before you such a reach of
grand and glorious coastline the real
"Afric's coral strand" ot transcendent
beauty, and not the dread coast of the old
missionary h mo as renders true picturing
impossible, the whole changeful panorama
of headland, beach, forest, glittering village
and noble bav, backed along the ragged
liorirou by the eternal peaks of the Atlas
heights which even under tropic suns soar
aboe the cloud to the region of silences,
ghostly and pl.antomlul with their crowns
ot snow and ice.
The i err air upon this sea is odorous as
with tin me and balm. The fancy, quick
ened by tradition and Oriental mysticisms,
builds Mondrous creations surpassing the
rildest and most labulous tales of the
"Arabian ICight.' Snug in a steamer
chair, one retimes and dreams. Subtle es
sences as Iroin lotus flowers mingled with
subtler rose attars touch the sense and blind
in sleep. The deck stewards must be simi
larly enthralled, lor you are never rudely
disturbed as on the Atlantic liner; and
through all the caressfiil night, while the
stars prow and glow above, and the silent
Jmosphoresceni ea pulses and throbs in
, rale flames beneath, you near this radiant
iiaveu ot this radiant, storied sea.
A. Conjjlomerato Architecture.
Here, just as the sun is rising, between
the tea:, bed of crimson and the awakening
fit v are swaying on the gentle tide hun
dreds of strange and curious craft, a wild
conglomerate of the marine architecture of
tfee Mediterranean, their yellow spars but a
aaoment since like giaut reeds above the
blaming of .1 shadow v marsh, now pinked
iron) up to socket with the clorious sunlight
wrhich hints in its play upon their gaudy
ensigns oi the far lands where their home
havens lie, iihilcfar out on the water's
lrarizon, rounding Cane Figuera behind,
eoeies on the morning fleet of fisher boat,
their sails of every striking hue, and the
eonc ol the fishers stealing across the dis
tance in taint but melodious rj thru.
Here and there are Turkish a essels w ith
tremendous single sails square built fore
aad aft like a settler's log cabin. Scores
of the clumsv feluccas from Crete and the
Ionian Islands, the Chebecs of the Arabs,
and the identical great boats of the olden
pirates, lie low in the waier round-about,
their half-naked Greek and Arab sailors,
lithe ot limb and nut-brown of face, vividly
recalling those glorious days of Barosa,
iwoty and blood But quainter than all are
the rare old tubs from Chioggia and Venice,
snth the same high prows and sterns they
ld in the days of Doges. They come with
the glass of Murano, and carry back the
corn, oil and -nine of the Soller and Valde
l6a, aud on the bow of each craft is
jiainted an cfiigy of the Virgin, an endless
supplication lo'the waves against every
feriu of e ll and peril at sea.
The Colorful Harbor Scenn.
And there, facing the slrinins sea and
colorful harbor seine, rises lrom the shore
were gracefully than Naples, as fair as
Algiers, as tropical in tvpe and seeming as
llaiana, the ampitheater like city of Palma;
once the brightest pearl ot tne seagirt isles;
still, itateh , silent, beautiful, with tone
ad tint ot the Orient in its pinnacles and
minarets, its dome-shaped belfries and its
weird and shadowy palms. Loingly con
templating the exquisite picture, its ro
lAantic historj old and new flutters from
the hiding places of memory and troop clear
. ami distinct into your musings; even as the
Morning do es ot Palma sweep from the
thousand shadowy homing niches of its
snassire cathedra!, and, alighting on buttress
peak, battlement and spire, iorm proces
sional silhouettes of burnished puce and
blue against the eastern sky.
Out of the mythic days come brave old
tales of the folk that flourished here. The
inhubitants, a heroic race, fought naked
with slmo. and from the dexterity of the
warriors the islands became known as
Ualeanca, country of the strong-armed
dingers. The old"legends have it that their
Marvelous proficiency with this weapon
ivas attained through the mothers refusing
their children food until "they could sling
it down" from beams or branches on which
it was hung. This very city of Palma is
built upon the ruins of the old Roman town
founded by Quintus Cecilius Metellus, who
conquered the islands with galleys "plated
with ox hides and skins as a protection
neains: the iatal strokes of the Balearic
tlingcrs."
A Commonwealth or Power.
.Tluled in turn by VaadHls aud Goths, the
islands eventually fell into the hands oi the
Moors, shortly after Southern Spain became
prey to the hordes of Gebr-al-Tarek.
Curiously the people of the island reached
tfeeir highest prosperity under their African
mlers who taught them all the arts and
cruelties ot piracj, until the Balearicans
became master of aud spread terror over flic
entire Mediterranean. The isles were thus
Merged into a clear yet terrible common
wealth, whose pow,er was often courted and
employed by neichbonng sovereigns. The
accumulation of treasure was enormous; so
great as to invite cupidity of invasion and
cento "holy" crusades, until Don Jayme
I., King of Aragon and Count of Barce
lona, in September 1229, sailed for Palmi
with a fleet of J .TO galleys and IS, 000
men, principally Catalunian peasant war
riors. Palma fell. The males of the
mixed race of pirate Moors and Balearicans
were butchered, sold as slaves, or banished
to the African coast. The women became
the slaves and wives of the Catalunian
peasant warriors. The islands were peti
tioned off among the followers of Don
Jayme I., founding a titled land-holding
aristocracy, existing to this day, as proud,
rich and noble blooded as Europe ever
knew. The then independentkingdom of Ba
learica, under eventual vassalage to Pedro IV,
of Aragon was finally merged into the Span
ish dominion "With mothers of pure Balearic
and Moorish blood and fathers from the
bturdy, sluggish and over-contented Catalu
nian stock, tinge and tempered by a match--Jess
clime and fruitful roil, the 700 inter
vening years have molded a race fine'in
,physique, supple of limb, cheery of temper
and heart, melodic of specsh and tongue,
fair to look upon and truly good to find and
know.
A AVclril and Grotesque Picture.
Having left the beautiful, sleepy, sunlit
bay for Palma's streets, you have entered a
city of nearly 70,000 souls, where Italy,
Spain and Algeria seem to have formed a
charming composite in architecture and
people. The hugeness of walls is every
where remarkable. Everything is con
structed as if for eternal lasting. No street
is beautiful, but not one fails of a pictur
esquencss that is often weird and grotesque.
Even- structure possesses in some portion,
and frequently in the most unexpected posi
tion, some wonderful and ornate ornamenta'
tion. Tiny squares with wimpling fount
ains are set in all sorts of odd corners. A
huge church may tower on one side
of each of these. At a corner may
stand or project from a curious
and seemingly unnecessary wall, a
massive carved facade or gargoyle from
which the water is endlessly flowing. At
another side a mass of vines and verdure,
capped to the sight by far domes or spires,
is only visible. Outjutting at another spot,
the angle of some huge building seems to
have pushed its nav half across the plaza
and with its galleries, balconies and tre
mendous overreaching roof is ready to pitch
headlong into the open space beneath
While another suunv side shows onlv a roof
of red tiles sloping like a tent cover, un
pierced by a single aperture, from an inter
minable height wholly to the edge of a
stone cloister-like porch beneath.
In all open spaces are palm trees. And
these, rising Irom courts lifting their
spreading fronds high above roofs from
darkened thoroughfares, often leaniug, like
the tower of Pisa, out of quaint old courts,
and here and there being preserved by an
entire building constructed around them,
lend a dreamful, mystic, almost lonesome
and pathetic coloring to every massing of
structures upon which the eye may rest.
Tho Palm a Lonely Emblem.
To me, the palm, whether I have seen it
in Southern Spain, in Sicily, in Morocco, in
Algeria, in Cuba, or here in Palma, whose
name had its origin in the former extraor
dinary number of palm trees upon the
island, has always been an emblem of
dolorous isolation and inexpressible loneli
ness. It hints of the camel, the Bedouin,
the desert. In art, in story, in fact, it ever
suggests the endless hopelessness and im
passibility of the barriers between the races
that subsfst upon and rest beneath it, and
those who know and love the maple, beech
aud oak.
It is a city of steep ascents and ill-paved
streets, but of witching old bits of curious
architecture, and perhaps as lovely and
splendid interiors as any Moorish or semi
Moorish city can show. All the houses re
tain features ot Moorish taste and evidences
ol medieval forms of habitation and living.
They are not higher than three or four
stones at best. More have but the eround
floor with an upper one, and an attic called
a poreho. Invariably the entradas to the
interior are studies in carved arabesques
and fanciful Moorish designs. Balconies
are as universal and as huge or as lace-like
and fragile as in Granada or Seville. A
marked peculiarity of all structures is their
huge projecting roofs, spread out into pent
houses and frequently most fascinatingly
worked out and decorated. And the lowliest
home in all Palma is charming in its patio
or court that loveliest of all interior ar
rangement around which Moslem or Chris
tian home can be built

HOW FACES ARE EASILT ALTERED
A riace of Rare Beauty.
Every one of these courts is a place of
beauty, sunshine and song. In every one
there is a melodic sound of water from run
ning jetty or fountain. In every one,
whether glittering with slender marble
columns and daintily wrought arches or
softened in tones with mossy stone and
crumbling tiles, there are waving ferns and
flowers. Vines clamber wantonlv over en
tablature, arch and balustrade. The alcobas
of all living in these abodes are within the
sound of friendly calling voice. And not
one is without birds ot gav plumage and
birds with endless songs. I often wonder
why the rich of our ow n land do not build
their homes like these. A dome of glass
instead of the bine Mediterranean sky, is
all the change required. Banish the pall
like hangings and withering shadow-places
from vour stuftv homes, and learn to live in
the life-giving light like the Latin and the
Moor. Put your great Hew England fire
places opposite your arched entrances: and
make of these sunlit open courts places of
beauty, lightsomeness, melody and home
side joy.
Only when the feast and processional
days come is Palma a gay and brilliant city.
At all other times it is sunny, restful, slum
berous and almost silent. " Its street folk
arc the same as of any other southern Span
ish city. There is greater content here. Ivb
one is in a hurry. Among the lowly folk
there is less excitability; greater good
nature, and the latter is of the gentle not
of the uproarious sort. Here, as in Madrid,
is your lechero or milkman, who drives his
cows in from the country and milks for you
before your door. The dulcero or seller of
sweets, w ith his songful call by day and
his tinkling bells by nitrht, is here. The
cochero or cabman, with comfortable land
auletand pretty diligence, will serve you
faithfully w itliout guile. The mercanchiste
or notion peddler, the aquadnror water
seller, the rcgatero or huckster, who has
the sociable habit of entering shop or borne
with his donkeys and paniers, the zapatero
or archway shoemaker, and the latonero or
tinkcr.'whom I found to be Spanish Gipsy,
are all here in their lazy, pleasant and pict
uresque ways.
All Days Alike in Palma.
By d3y Palma seems to the stranger to be
continuously experiencing something like a
soft dreamful buzz of activity in all human
aflaiars. Perhaps it is the reaction after
some great business tension, you ruminate.
But no; each day is as the day before it.
Everything is gently done. No one is astir
before ten in the morning. Then the pretty
market attracts bewes ot beautiful women
and maids. This is followed by the noon
time siesta. The shops are bright and
brilliant until evening; but everything is
quiet and restful within. In the eening
the cafes are ablaze with light; the parks
and passeos are throneed with gay .cabal
leros and lovely senoritas. Still there is a
bush "and tranquility in all sounds and
seemings. As the night advances, in
every quarter of the olden city
is heard the mandolin and- guitar, tremu
lous, pathetic, sweet; like the echo of real
tones rather than the vibrant notes them
selves. Zephyrus. breezes pulse from
Afric's shores. The shipping rocks geutlv
upon the star-mirroring bay. Go where
you will, all is life until long alter mid
night, but tender and subdued as if the
witchings ot the tropic airs lulled to repose
yet withheld irom sleep. And at last as the
centinelas of the fortresses upon the heights
have chanted answers to their challengers
with: "Ave Maria Purisima! La una, y
todo sereno!" you seek your couch in sweet
old Palma of the Isles, your heart giving
back the centinela's answer that "All is
well!" Edgar L. AVakemax.

A face, if you please, though it bring a
droll expression into the world with it, can
become the exponent of tragedy through the
powerful aid of a bit of chalk.
One's countenance, like one's parlor, can
have its furniture, otherwise its features,
rearranged. There are the eyebrows! Per
haps you inherit it maternally or pater
nally, or, perhaps, nature fell out with the
family likeness when it gave you an arch
ing evebrow. Such a feature produces a
bland, "I'm-just-come-on-earth" sort of ex-'
pression, indicative of a belief in every
thing from a nickel in the slot down to a
man. A judicious use of chalk and paint
would make one willing to swear that the
owner of so keen a glance would spend his
season in the Promised Land, betting
ten to one that its streets were made
only of jilt Your nose mav be timid and
retiring desiring to seclude ltsclt among
the cushions of your cheeks. Lo! ye, it
suddenly stands out a nez such as Napoleon
would have had marry into his family im
mediatelv, and have given a kingdom to
all caused by a few lines at its base, and
mavbe for the improvement of its contour,
a bit of wax on the bridge. A retrousse nose
may have its fascination spoiled bj a long
sort of a Presbyterian upper lip. This a
little red remedies, a Cupid's bow being the
result. Then what wonders may be worked
on the niouth itself! Have you not seen
one that looked as if it had been born old,
dumb, uninteresting, unravished of its fruit,
that had grown withered while waiting in
vain to be plucked? Such a month be
comes, under the kindly guidance of a skill
ful hand and the grease pot, a haven of
bliss lor some hungry man.
Kato Castleton a Ilaks-Ep Artist.
Miss Kate Castleton, who is nothing if
not emphatic, prefaced a talk on "make-up"
thus: "I see no more harm in a woman
using paint aud powder than in her wearing
false hair, false teeth and a bustle." Miss
Castleton thinks the crime really lies in a
make-up's inartisticness. She does not af
lect to present subtle characterization, but
simply treats her face in a manner that will
emphasize every interesting and attractive
point. So masterly has she become that she
is called the best made-up woman on the
stage to-day, and her dressing room is the
resort of other actresses, who imitate her
methods first and find ont the reasons for
them afterward.
She compares her face to that of a French
wax doll. The crucial points in beginning
"make-up" with her are the eyes aud hair.
The complexion takes its tone from them.
not a point being overlooked, for the color
is carried up carefully into the roots of the
hair on the brow and the neck. The
mechanism in those wonderful eyes of hers
is most intricate That shelving portion
between the evelid and eyebrow, and also
the part over the cheekbone are filled in
with shoit, black lines, radiating from the
eyeball the doll's face illustrates this.
The eyelids are dashtd with black and the
lashes thickened with black grease paint
A near view- of all this usually is disa
greeable, but not so in the case of Miss
Castleton. This,by theby.she says,is because
of her knowledge of perspective. Brought
up in a draughtsman's establishment,
she can so gauge effects that practically she
looks the same to the bald man sitting in
the front low and the late comer hanging
on the back railing of the circle. A little
dab of red at each nostril is something she
alone of all actresses practices. Nature
presented her with a delicious dimple, to
which a sign post is added in the form of a
bit of black court plaster to point out its
location.
Tho Hands Not Neelected.
r
Besides all this, Miss Castleton treats her
hands in what she calls a rational manner.
Their nails are colored red, which tone is
carried down nast the first ioint "Where
the Jiand dimples at the base of the fingers
is touched with the same color. And all this
has to bo gone through every day before
Miss Castleton comes on the stage, to do as
we have all seen her do swing on her toes
a bit, look at the audience until each man
and each woman thinks he or she is the par
ticular recipient of her battery of coquetry,
and then say so quietly, "For goodness
sake, don't say I told you."
Among the numerousanecdotes that cluster
round the stage and its people, one is told
of an exceedingly novel case of what might
be termed facial, theft. In a company in
which Mr. Felix Morris held a prominent
position there was a minor member who
was constantly infringing on Mr. Morris'
"make-up." This little man absorbed him,
devoured him, watched him unceasingly.
Every favorite disguise of the premier was
reproduced with 'prentice hand on the face
of the minor member. It so happened that
the minor member by nature was gjfted
with an exceedingly long nose, Mr. Morris,
with a short one which, by judicious shad
ing, he was enabled to lengthen at will,
dnd produce a nose of fair proportion. The
fellow who aped him nqticed the
effect, and without analyzing the motive,
followed the method and1 applied it to his
own superabundant length of nose. The
effect was ludicrous. Every other feature
was dwarfed and almost exterminated.
Such a proboscis you never saw! His ap
pearance behind the scenes, before going on
the stage, was greeted with a shout of
laughter.
"Good heavens, man, what's the matter
with vour nose?"
"Mr. Morris does the same thing to his
nose," said the minor member.
"Yes," was answered, "but look at the
difference in the length of your noses.
Yours looks like a broom handle." With a
shower of chaffing and snubbing going on,
the minor member, with much rnbbing and
fussing and fuming, reduced his nose to its
own unusual length again.
Some Actors Gifted by Nature.
Mr. Joseph Jefferson " does" not devote
much time in preparing for the perform
ance, and will frequently entertain his
visitor in his dressing room until within 15
or 20 minutes of the ri.se of the curtain.
John T. Raymond, in his inimitable per
formance of C6L Sellers, would frequently
rush in at the last minute, and with a few
touches of the "hare's foot" and a little face
powder, buttoning up his frock coat as he
stepped on the stage, would there be wel
comed with as much enthusiasm as if he had
spent hours in 'preparation. Denman
Thompson, in the same way,used little or no
make-up, his marked individuality being
all that is necessary to the character he so
ably presents. Coquelin, the great French
exponent of comedy, varies his methods.
Sometimes his make-up is a marvel of art
and again it may be simplicity itself.
Mr. Felix Morris, as the old French
Comte in the "Rose," uses no less than nine
different shades of grease paint As the old
Chevalier in the "Game of Cards," he also
uses many different tones, the object of
which is to produce a face as wrinkled as
an English walnut shell, and this without
lining, but simply by masses of color.
A Dnrlesqner'a Illustration.
Another field in "make-up" is that of
must "bo so arranged as to bring out the
expressfon that you require. Then powder
and plenty of it. That done, apply the
black to the eyebrows and accentuate the
lines of the face wherever required with
dark blue Or black. Last of all, reach out
for your No. 5 grease paint again, so as to
blend whiskers, wig and flesh together, a
little more powder, put on your hat, look
out carefully for your '-''Je props' and
Snarlt'joa is ready."
A COURT HOUSE WELL
Proposed as a Better and Cheaper Plan of
Supplying That Institution With Water
The Commissioners Will Consider the
Hatter.
Court Houss Superintendent Carson
Mercer has a plan to make the Court House
independent of the city in the matter of
water, and it will be considered some of
these days by the County Commissioners.
As they must erect a new building the com
ing summer, the Superintendent proposes
tho sinking or a well. The idea js to havo it
15 or 20 feet in diameter and cemented so
that tho water will he as pure as that of a
spring, all the surface water being shut out.
Sir. llercer says tho work would save its
.cost in a year, or 18 months at most, nnd (i
much hetter articlo secured. lie has been
iuv estimating and finds that the water can
he pumped into what ho calls a purifier and
it conies out so puro that some en
gineers arc disponed to think it
overdone and advise the addition of a little
lime, as they think a slight scale in hollers
conduces to tneir saiety ana wearing quali
ties. By tho arrangement proposed Mr.
Mercer states that the only cost will be the
digging of the well and the apparatus for
cleansing the water or mineral qualities, not
a man nor a pound of steam more than the
man and steam power necessirry at present
being reqnired to operate tho pioposed ar
rangement. Tho cost of water at present for Conrt
House uses is between $3,000and $4,000a year,
with possibilities of short supply in caso of
accident from bursting mains or breaking
engines, both of which wonldbe obviated by
the proposed plan.

The Strange Adventnro of a Young Lady in
a Church Belfry.
Myistle Hill, Cons'., Feb. 19, Miss
Lavina Hull strolled into the Baptist
Church onllonday and in spirit of adventure
climbed into the belfry. She had been
there only a few minutes when she was
startled by a large rat approaching her. It
was followed by another one within a few
seconds, and back of him came still another.
Miss Hull was too terrified to cry out.
and when she drew back the rats set up a
squealing, and the leader rushed toward her
with open mouth. The squeak o the rat
seemed to attract others, and in a few sec
onds the place swarmed with' rodents.
The leader jumped for her ankle, bitting
through heT shoe. Other rats also jumped
on her, and bit and lacerated her face. She
drew out a small pocket knife, but it proved
small protection, and she was gradually be
ing overcome, when, having regained hpr
voice by this time, her screams were heard
by a young man, who rftshed into the edi
fice, and with his cane succeeded in driving
the rats off. Miss Hull's face, bands and
lower limbs are badly lacerated, and she is
under the care of a physician.

nomination and election mean In good faith
not onlv a pledge, but a promise that tho
pledge will be kept If ho is elected. Any form
