A few mule carta rattle recklessly over the roads, but Otherwise it might eii^Ily bo Sunday or a holiday and everyone away from .home. 'i iu? humble dwelling of the I<eon ? lie in the very shadow of on? of Ku rope's most wonderful cat bo* drain, i ns.de [wsatyle by tbelr iiiicoh tors' generous gifts and wrought by a muster. The cathedral la the cen ter from which radiates the tran quility and harmony felt throughout the town. Its spires and towers of softly yellowed stone rise in gracious welcome above a mass of trees. A multitude of windows give promise of a bright, suullt Interior. Carved col umns and figures frame the portals, and quaint gargoyles glower from nooks In the cornices, as if to ward off all evil. Inside the halt Is vast and Allent, light ed by scored of stained glass windows. The maker of the windows Indulged his taste for bright and glowing color to an extent that would have been disastrous lp u small church ; but through the sweeping length of the vaulted nave the colors blend and fall In soft, rich shades. In this sanctu ary of light rests' the king who first planned the cathedral and made Leon a city of wealth and palaces. Since his day the city has been destroyed1 and plundered and rebuilt. It never again reached* Its former greatness, hut the king's cathedral rose from ita : ashes, and stands now more beautiful than the founder hud planned. AUSTRALIA'S BIG SALT LAKE It Dries Up Entirely In 8ummer and Is an Extremely Valuable Piece of Property. On York peninsula, In South Aus tralia, Is a wonderful lake of pure salt, says the Wide WOrld. It is a huge depression In the earth which, fills up in the winter months. In the hot summer sun the water quickly evaporates, leaving a thick deposit of taace, the surface of the lake has all the appearance of being covered with a sheet of Ice. The salt crust Is so thick nnd strong that men and even carts and plows con traverse It with perfect safety. Yet below the crust there Is n considerable body of slug gish water. After the rays of the summer sran^ have played their part, the, salt is' gathered. It Is Jbst raked Into heaps, and these pyramids of salt are a strik ing feature of the landscape. The salt is now shoveled Into carts and con veyed to various works on ? the sea board, to undergo the process of re fining, ' ' Gathering the salt is trying work On account of the great heat and the das rling reflection. Often it Is necessary for the men to wear colored glasses to protect the eyes, After the loose salt has been collected from the'surface a special kind of plow Is run over It, when another harvest of the valuable material can be reaped. The yield of salt from this strange -'lake amounts to several thousand tons a year, and It is among the finest ob tainable. The lake is several square miles In area and is naturally a very valuable property. / How 8trangers Act In New York. In an article by a groat hotel man In the American Magazine the writer says: ?It has always been of Interest to mo to see how differently people from oth er cities or countries act In New York hotels and restaurants. When a West erner or n Southerner sits down In a New York restaurant the first thing he asks for Is seafood. West erners are wild about good oysters, while the Southerner wants fresh clams. "There Is nn Interesting difference, too. about the South Americans and Westerners In New York. The West ern man comes to the c^ty eager for a change in food, room, atmosphere, sur roundings and, In fact, everything. "The South American Spnnlard Is exactly the reverse. He wants his con ditions at home duplicated as nearly as possible. And because this has ?been Impressed upon us, we have In the hotel McAlpln Spanish bell boys, clerks, telegraph operators, waiters, an^last but not least, Spanish cocks." k Jerusalem and Music. Once someone tried to sneer at Dis raeli, the great English statesman, be cause he was a Jew. "Yea, I am a Jew." he replied, "and my ancestors were making exquisite music, four thousand strong, in the Temple of Solomon, two thousand years before Christ, while your an cestors were running wild, nak?I sav ages in the forest," Which was perfectly true. In that temple at Jerusalem, which was the Joy pf . the whole world, was made some the most wonderful music ever heard on this earth. In the Old Testament *e reail of the Instruments they played, of how the young children were trained to and Of the wonderful ceremonfes, a* wonderful and artistic as the carvings and traceries which adorned the " temple Itself. # mm ?4^ Good Jewelry, Silver plated ware is always acceptable taste.
