The Ewtirinl, bnflt by Tltilip II be tween 1568 ami 11584, wan riillcd "the cfbth wontlor of tho world," unyn a Uliecinlcorroponilfiitof the Huston Hor aid. It wan at once a temple, n palace, treasury, a tomb and a mnsenin. That in to nay, all tltt'HO were incliulrcl in the hngo building which Philip erected on tho 1ohi of a npiir of tho Gnnihtritum range, 83 miles northwest of Madrid. The builder's object was to carry ont the will of his father, Charles V, by con structing a royal burial place, and nlso to fulfill a vow bo had inado during the battle of St. (jtietttin, when he im plored the aid of 8t. Lorenzo, on whose day (Aug. 10, 1S5T) the battle was fought The edifice stands aliont 8,000 feet above tho sea, facing tho mountains, with its back toward Madrid. It is a rectaiiKU lar parallelogram, 740 feet from north to south, and C80 from east to west. On tho east sido is tin advanced portico which breaks tho facade. This gave rise to the rnlgar impression that Philip's idea wns to make the building in the shape of a gridiron, an allusion to tho manner of St. Lorenzo's martyrdom, he having lieon broiled to death on n slow firo in tho reign of tho Roman Emperor Valentianns, A. D. 201. There seems to bo no other ground for tho fanciful invention. Tho building covers fiOO.000 square feet of land, or nearly 1 2 acres. It has 16 courtyards, 80 staircases, 15 clois ters, H8 fountains and 8,000 feet of paint ed fresco. Tho church, which mvupics less than a sixth of tho whole space, is 820 feet long, 230 feet wide and 320 feet high to tho top of the cupola. The re deeming qualities of tho enormous struc ture are sizo, simplicity and situation. It seems to bo a part of tho mountain on tho slopo of which it rises. It still looks grand even among mountain buttresses. Otherwise, it disappoints. Its architec ture has lirtlo in form or color to com mend it. It lacks tho prestige of antiq uity, nnd it does not express any reli gious sentiment. It might lie a vast man ufactory. Its cold granite walls, bluo slates, leaden roofs and small windows give it a commonplaco appearance. Of course it is now littlo moro than a skeleton of what it was. Tho living monks who swarmed in its courts are here no longer. Tho revenues on which they lived have been taken away. Tho French soldiers stolo nnd carried nway many of its golden ornaments in 1808. Its best pictures hnvo been removed to Madrid. Tho bnildinghns suffered from neglect, exposed to hurricanes and win ter snows. Better caro has been taken of it in later years. It is now used as a seminary, where nbont 200 youths re ceive a secular cdnention. PRAISE YOUR WIFE. 87 to Her th Pleasant Thing- Von Kny to Other Women. "How do I look?" asked it yonng wifo who stood before hi r husband dressed to attend a party wilh him. Ho raised his cyoa from tho paper ho was reading, looked at her critically and said : "All right. You'll do." Her heart sunk, and her lips quivered, but he did not know it. Sho was con scious of looking her best, and she want ed a word of praise, of admiration, from her husband, und sho failed to re coivo it, Why was he sogmdgiugof his praise? Ask tho averngo man who answers his wifo iu that way when sho uks his opinion, as she invariably does, and he will toll you that she always looks well dressed in gotsl taste und above criti cism, lint why doesn't he say that to her, or rather why does he not juoko a little loverliio speech for such an occa sion? Even tho courtcons remarks he would bestow on tho costume of an or dinary acquaintance ure withheld from his own wifo. There was a husband he is dead now who nsoA to Buy to liis wifo, "My dear, you are looking charming this evening, "or, I love yon best in that bluo dress of yours." Ho was a poor stick of a uiau in the way of worldly success, but his widow canonized him for just those loving tributes, given ta her with a lover s deference after inuny years of wedded life.

Tho Cnnls Think tho tlrarrnly phrnnmo- non Embodies tho f orm 11 f n Demon. Captain Trevitt W. Okey of Los An geles, Cal, for many years stntioned in Arizona and New Mexico with the reg ular army, told nbont the myths and superstitions of the Zuni Indians to n gronp of friends nt a Broadway hotel one evening "In the Zuni mind," t-aid he, "the rainbow has ever been 11 deified animal, having the attribute oi a human being and also the body and some of the func tions of a measuring worm. Obviously the striped back and arched attitude of the measuring worm, its sudden appear ance and disappearance among the leaves of the plants which it inhabits, are the analogies upon which this personifica tion is based. As the measuring worm consumes the herbage of the plants nnd causes them to dry up, so the rainbow, which appears only after the rain, is suposed by the simple minded Indian to cause a cessatiou of rain, nnd conse quently to be the originator of droughts, under the influence of which plants wither away, as they do under the rav ages of tho measuring worms. "It will be seen that the visible phe nomenon called the rainbow gets by anal ogy the personality of the measuring worm, while from the worm in turn the rainbow gets its function us a god. Of this the cessation of the rain on the ap pearance of tho rainbow is adduced as proof. The fading of tho flowers is at tributed to the rainlKiw, which, consum ing their imperceptible existences, thus derives his brilliant coloring, just as it is believed that tho measuring worm gets his green, yellow and red stripes from the leaves and flowers which It devours. "The influence of this union upon the Zuni mind is to place the rainbow among the malignant gods. It is fre quently painted on war shields nnd made a demon to bo propitiated, yet shunned. When a rainbow appears in tho sky, tho Zuni Indians and those of many other tribes turn their barks upon the beauti ful sight and covertly imprecate- the unfriendly spirit. "New York World "THE BRACELET." It Wm lloaotimi fntll It 1 If ram Re minder of Hit Doubt. "Here," he said, "is a bracelot Wear it always, that like our love it may prove endless and unbroken in II circle." And from a silken case, in which the uamo of tho goldsmith glis tened, ho drew tho pledge of their now affections. Sho stood before him, ra diantly palpitating, as it seemed to him in the ecstasy of his attention perhaps with the pleasure of so rare a trinket. Tho diamonds lost their luster in tho rupture which her flashing eyes convey ed. Holding tier hand, ho was adjusting the gift to tho flexible wrist into which tapered her well rounded arm its skin seemed whiter now, as if expressive of so much purity about to receive the. binding earnest of his words. "But," he said, hesitating suddenly, "I must tell you, and yet why should I? This bracelet, by the touch of some mysterious magic so tho jeweler tells mo, nnd yet I can hardly believe it shrinks ubout the wrist of her who prove untrue, and its wearer loses for ever tho use of her hand, which then hangs limp and lifeless, iu token of her perfidy." "Surely," she answered, "you cannot wish to put mo to such n test its this who need none. I should wear it were it not to mo but an eternal reminder of your doubt, each diamond but an eye to wntch and it is much too gaudy. A plain ring will do for me. "Philadel phia Press. Indignant. There used to bo an old porter at a certain Irish railway station who was moro remarkable for independence of character than attention to his duties. On one occasion two of the directors were traveling over tho lino and noticed that the name of this station wus not called, the neglect being tho mure seri ous as it was a junction. This was made tho subject of oompluiut, and old Clmr loy, who was the delinquent, was promptly brought to book and repri manded. Ho was very wroth that any one should find fault with him and thirsted for revenge. So, keeping a lookout un til he saw the directors on their return journey, he stood opposite their carriage aud shouted in a stentorian voice: "Cookstown Junction) Change here for Randalstown, Castledawson, Mugh erafelt, Moueymore and all stations on the Cookstown line, and don't say, ye blaggards, ye weren't towld I" London Answers.

Caro of the Tatlrnt, That Ills KunVrlnf May llo Lrmwinrd. The successful treatment of consump tion nnd by this is meant making the sufferer better nblo to liear his burden, if not actually lifting it from his shoul dersis largely a question of nursing. If tho disease has already gained a foot hold medicine iu most instances is of no avail except iu postisining tho evil day, and even if it were otherwise a few general rules wonltl be just as essential to insure the comfort of the patient While recovery Is going on. Iu the first place, then, we must un derstand exactly the condition of the consumptive, not so much by ascertain ing the location nnd extent of his disense as by familiarizing ourselves with his temperament, his likes nnd dislikes, and, above all, with his power of endurance and resistance. If we will bear these thiiiKS in mind we may be able to do all that is possible for the sick one namely, to enable him to withstand the ouslanght of the dis ease until nature shall gain the control ling hand. So successful is this method of treatment that it often results in a complete or nt least a temporary euro. Consumption is one of the most do vitalizing of diseases. Not only does it attack tho Iuiiks, but the action of the nervous system is sooner or later seri ously interfered with, tho digestion im paired, and the simplest form of excite ment renders even tho circulation of the blood dniiHcroiis from being overactive. We shall come nearest to striking nt tho root of nil these troubles if wo direct our energies toward limiting the fre quency nnd severity of tho cough, nnd in this we have not only to follow the ad vice of tho physician, taking euro that his directions ure exactly carried out, but we must give careful attention to nursing. To prevent the first paroxysm of congh ing, which is usually incited in the morning by tho exertion of rising, a warm cup of ten or an eg(jnog should be taken before tho patient leaves tho bod. A glass of something warm, like hot milk or gruel, should also bo taken be fore retiring, and plenty of 1 1 1110 should be allowed iu preparing for tho bed. Tho patient should sleep iu blankets, and a glass of warm drink should be placed within reach iu case he should wake through tho night. . If tho presence of food iu tho stomach ennscB the reappearance of tho conili after meals, somo suitahlo preparation of pepsin should bo used to hasten the digest ion, and an hour or two's rest should bo taken immediately after the meal. Youth's Companion. AN AVENUE OF IDOLS. A Donhlfl Row of Jnpaneao noddhaii Wlileh t'nonnt llo Counted. Closo to this interesting pool is tho avenue of 'images, representing the AmiiU Uudilha. Tho idols vary in size, but are similar iu design. There ure sev eral hnndred of them altogether, nnd they sit fatting one another iu two long rows. We asked tho littlo Jap who brought nit to tho place how many of them there were. Iu an awed whisper ho replied, "Nobody known." Then he told us how impossiblo it was to cotmt them. Each imujfo was mado unsightly by having numbers of littlo bits of paper stuck on to it aud chewed bits of paper which had been spat at it. Tho object of this disfiguration we failed to discover, though our friend Hojo informed us they were put on by the young priests, a part of whoso novittato it was to attempt to count tho Buddhns. There is evidently something wrong with thoso idols, for no one hns over been able to reckon them up tho samo twice over, iu spite of sticking a piece of paper to tick each 0110 off. Of course two uusuporstitinus Englishmen were not to be humbugged by native stories, soM. (my traveling companion) audi, thinking tho wholo thing ridiculous, de cided to count the mysterious images. Wo started ou co-operative linos, each taking a sido of the aveuuo. Our efforts, however, were fruitless, for we had not numbered off more than a dozen each, before M. (whose eyes wore uot so good as they had once been) shouted across to me: "I say, I saw one of them on your side moving. I'm certain I did. They're uncanny. Let s give it up. " This inter' ruptiou of course upset all my calcula tions, but we soon oiune on the moving image, which turned out to be nothing more than one of the old Frenchmen, seated peacefully among the statues and looking iu his white clothes for all the world like a jolly, fat, old Buddha. (ientlemun's Muguzine. 4,000 Miles With a Wheelbarrow. In 1878 Lyuiuu Potter of Now York stute performed tho prodigious tusk of pushing a common "paddy" wheclbur row across the continent Ho started from his home ou Dane street, Albany, ou the morning of April 10, 1878, and arrived in San Fruuoisco on tho after noon u1' ' -t. 6 of the same yeur, being almost ....tetly 178 days (five hours und three minutes over) in performing the woarisome feat. Potter was a shoo maker, and the trip was the result of a wager made by some friends who be liuved that such a trip wonld occupy at least 200 days. Tho wager was f 1,000, but Potter mado between throe aud live times that sum advertising for different parties along the route. Tho wheclbur- row was made speuiully for tho use to which it was put and weighed but 75 pounds. The distance traveled by Pot ter was exactly 4,085 mile SOCIETY. 1 looked and saw a splendid rmgenntry 1 it benntiriii women nml of lordly mm Taklns their Dlpnmtre In a flnwerr Dlain Where popples and the red anemone And many another loaf of orntnolsy Fllrken-d about their feet and gave their stnln To heels of Iron or sntln, and the srnln Of silken garments floating far and tree As In the dunce they wove themselves or strayed By twos together or lightly smiled and bowed Or oourMifl to enoh other or else played ' at games or mirth and pastime, nnnfrntd In their delight, and all so high and proud Tbey seemed am roe of the earth whereon thoy trod. t looked again and saw that flowery space Httrnng, as If alive, beneath the tread That rested now noon an old man's head And now upon a bnby's gssping face Or mother's bosom or the rounding grace Of a girl's throat, and what had seemed the red Of flowers wns blood In aonte and simhea shml prom henrts that broke under that frollo pace.

Does tho Eye RreT The question asked in the headline may sound odd to yon if yon have never taken tho trouble to give the subject serious thought, but I venture the broad statement that you are not able to an swer tho question "offhand. " It is nn admitted fact, I must confess, that tho eye is the "organ of vision," yet there is but little doubt, even iu the minds of opticians aud physiologists, that the phenomena of "seeing" is chiefly men tal iu other words, that it is the mind and not the eye that "seea " How often have yon seen a friend who seemingly was engaged in looking intently ut some object on the table, ut tho opiiosite side of the room or at some picture, who ou being aroused from his day dream would confess that he was "looking nt nothing iu particular. " The explana tion of thofnet that ho saw "nothing in particular" is plain enough if properly sot forth. It is because his mind was busy with other times and scenes. Faces, bits of wayside scenery, etc., were being presented to view in tho panorama of the mind, nnd the "mind's eye" or mental vision was engaged in eagerly scanning pictures of impres sions mode thereon months, years or scores of years before. Another test of this mind vision theory is to shut your eyos tightly and then ply the brnin to tho task of recalling faces and forms that have not been seen by tho eyo for years. And, again, if you want to know whether your companion looked nt his watch with his brain or his eyes, nsk him tho time of day after ho puts tlm ' timepiece in his pocket. St Louis Re public Routed the nolU ! A lumberman nttached to John , Crano's camp, np beyond the Katnhdiu Iron works iu Maine, was tramping across to a pond late one November evening when he ran upon a bull moose. Tho lumberman hud no rifle, so he y oiled aud waved his arms, expecting . that tho broud uutlered bull would dash ' fenr stricken down tho mountain. But ! it didn't It rushed for the lumberman. Ho dodged about a tree aud dropped his ' ax. For ten minutes he dodged, half , scared to douth. Then he climbed the , tree. 1 Tho bull butted the tree with its ant-; lers until it swayed to und fro, and then walked away n few yards and rosted. Tho lumbermun yelled some mure. When ho eanld yell no longer, he set his wits to work. Just above him was a dead limb. Ho broke it off, and ns tho bull -advanced again ho set the wood afire and dropped it ou the bull's back. With a bellow it ran down tho mountain. Tho half frozen lumberman made a line for camp. New York World. An Extraordinary Freak. A citizen of Tampa, Fin., is tho own- er of a wonderful curiosity in tho shape of a pair of deer's horns in which one of the prongs ends in a startling mal-. formation. Four inches from tho place whoro it branches from tho main horn : this prong suddenly enlarges into a bulbous growth nearly as lurgo as. a , man's fist, and it is in this excrescence. , that the wonder lies. The bulb is in the form of a hound's head, plainly show- -lug ours, mouth, eyes, etc. It was "tak-', en in the down," aud were it other wise it is impossible that it could be a work of art, owing to the enlargement necessary for the freak.
