WSIT TO THE ESCUniAL.
Wi Great flfrnrtnre Erected by Order of
I'hlllp II of Ppnln.
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.

"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

his own wifo.
There was a husband he is dead now
who nsoA to Buy to liis wifo, "My

for just those loving tributes, given ta
her with a lover s deference after inuny

INDIANS AND THE RAINBOW.
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

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

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:

CONSUMPTION.
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

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.

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.
And now nnd then from nut the dreadful Hour
An arm or brow was lifted from the rest.
As If to strike In madness or Implore
For mercy, and anon some suffering breast
Beared from the mam and sank, and aa before
The revelers above them thronged and
pressed.

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

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

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. St Louis Re-
