Whitewasit Brusk in $pin In Spain. where the ruins of Moorish towers are seen upon the crests of many hills as the express train crawls along at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles ad hour, the evidences of survi Ing Moorish influence upon the people and customs of Andalnsla make an in teresting study. In the city of Ronda It Is plain that the Ideas of home build ing which the Arabs brought Into the Iberian peninsula remain vital today. The whitewash brush Is the great lev eler of distinction between the rIch and the poor in Spain. The exteriors of homes-great manor houses upon the hacIendas. huts of mountaineers clinging to the sIdes of the almost perpendicular hills, handsome homes of rich merchants in the cities and humble tenements-are nearly all of plaster. A few of them are calci mined In blue or brown or pink, but the majority are pure white. Ronda is a white city with a few patches of blue and pink and looks as if the whitewash brush had just been ap plied.-Loulsville Courier-Journal. Got Right Down to Business. James Russell Lowell when ambas sador to England contributed liberally to a London society and one day sent a deserving young American there to be. assisted home. But the American was told that, though his case was em inently deserving. the society was just then short of funds. When Lowell beard this he sat down and wrote the society a terse and rig orous letter. "Dear sirs." he began, "for the last seven years I have contributed annual ly 25 guineas to your organization. I regret to learn you were unable to as ! sist the young man I recommended to you a few days ago. If you will kind ly return to me one of my contribu tions I will send him to America at my own expense. as I am conv!nced the case Is a most deserving one."

On nearly all street corners even In the largest metropolis of Europe may be found relics of the middle ages and of the earliest times. Take, for in stance, the wootien Image of a shoe, which every cobbler hangs out above his door. It goes back for its origin to the Rome of the pre-Christian era. In the ruins of the lava buried -cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii many shop signs of stone and terra cotta have been discovered. the forerunners of those that for centuries adorned the highways not only of Europe. bdit of the new world. Among them was the emblem -of the shoemaker's trade, a Cupid carrying a dainty pair of wo men's shoes. But the Romans did not stop there. They used the Image of a i goat to indicate the dairies. that of -a ,mule driving a mill to point out -the bakers' shops and a bush of evergreen to direct the thirsty traveler to a tav ern. This particular sign gave rise to the English proverb. "Good wine needs no bush." The View From an Aeroplane. It is a great surprise to the unini tiated to see how uniform the surface of the earth appears when viewed from a great altitude. Although Indi vidual objects are bard to Identify. such things as rivers, lakes and rail roads are easily recognized by their contour. dire-tion or some slight indi viduality or characteristle which can readily be shown upon a map. espe cily If the maps are made or correet ed by men who fly above the earth and get an accurate and literal bird's eye view of its surface. Objects which seem to loom up with the great et clearness to one standing on the urface of the earth appear very dif ferent and quite insignificant when viewed from ilbove, while a patch of colored soil which would not be no ticed at all by a person standing on the ground is a most valuable land mark to the air sailor. - Columbian Mauazine.

L. J. Gosset. A Styrian Peasant Superstition A lawsuit for libel brought by an apothecary in Pollan, in Styria, against a young peasant reveals an extraordi nary superstition prevalent among the country people. They believe that apothecaries and doctors have the right to kill at least one man and one woman every year in order to make medicines out of their bodies. An ac cidental movement of the apothecary at Pollau, Herr Kobermauser, when giving medicine to a boy named Putz led the latter to believe he was going to be killed. He ran away, but got such a fright that he fell ill. The in habitants believed his story and boy cotted the apothecary, who was at length compelled to prosecute. Putz was sentenced to fourteen days' im prisonment, but his parents, who had spread the story, were acquitted on the ground that they had acted in good faith.-London Standard. One Use of the Eel. It is difficult to exhaust the uses of the eel. Experts in top whipping pro nounce a dried eelskin an admirable lash, and tops are by no means the only victims thereof. There is that affecting passage in Mr. Pepys' diary: "April 24, 1663. Up betimes, and with my salt eel went down in the parlor and there get -my boy and did beat him till I was fain to take breath two or three times. Yet for all I am afeared it will make the boy never the better, he is grown so hardened in his tricks, which I am sorry for, he being capable of making a brave man and is a boy that I and my wife love very well." "Salt eel" appears to have been a . nautical term for a rope's end, and it is not certain that Pepys' instrument of castigation was actual eels' skin. But the original "salt eel' laid its mark. - London Chronicle. The Sense of Smell. "It is the upper part of the nose that smells," said a perfumer. "The lining there is very sensitive and brown in color, not red, as in 'the lower nose. en are more sensitive to odors than women. Scientific tests have shown, I believe, that, while many men can de tect the smell of prussic acid even when there is only one part of the acid to two mnillion parts of! water the average woman falls to detect the smell if there a're less than ten parts of the acid. Thoufgh the white man is much less sensitive to odors than the savage, a prolonged stay in a part of the world where- smells are few puts a very fine edge on the sense of smell. Dr. Nansen has declared that when returning from the ice world to Franz Josef Land he knew when he was ap proaching the assistant he had left there by smelling his scented soap long before he saw him. He could, too, when approaching the hut have given an inventory of the stores there, as he smelled everything It contained sepa rately and distinctly." Ruled HIs Servants by Fines. Sir ElchardNewdigate, a seventeenth S entury Warwickshire squire, whose papers were published some years ago by one of his descendants, ruled bis seants by a system of fines.
