Some idea of life in a large Span­
ish hotel mgy be gathered from Mr.
W„ D . Howells
book, ‘'Fam iliar
Spanish Travels.” T h e author says
that ip most cases the hotels were
hospitable, but bad. A t a Granada
hotel the door refused to latch, and
M r. H owells tells us that the infirtn-
itv of the door latch was emblematic
o f a temperamental infirmity in the
whole hotel. There waa a glittc
almost a glare, of Bitslike splendor,
and the rates were Bitzlika, bnt
there the resemblance ceased.
“ The porter followed us to our
rooms on our arrival and told us in
excellent English — which excelled
less and leas throughout our stay—
that he waa the hall porter and
that we could confidently refer all
our wants ta him, but their refer
ence seemed always to close the in­
cident, There was a secretary who
assured us that our rooms were not
dear, and who could not, out o f r
gard'to onr honor and comfort,con­
sider cheaper ones, and then ceased
to appear until ha receipted our
bill when we went away.
“There was a splendid dining room
with jffit e r s of such beauty and
dignity, and ao purple from clean
shaving that we scarcely dared to
face them, and there were lunch­
eons and dinners o f rich and deli­
cate superabundance in the menu,
they were banquets from the ‘A r a ­
bian N ights’ imagined under the
rule o f the Moors.
“Everywhere shone silver bright
radiators,'such aa we had not am
since we left their like fram ing in
B urgos; but, though the weather
f iresently changed from an Anda-
usian softness to a Castilian severi­
ty after a snowfall in the sierra, the
radiators remained insensible to the
difference, and the air nipped the
nose and fingers wherever one w e n t
in the note!. The hall porter, who
knew everything, said the boilers
were out o f order, and a< traveler
who had been there the winter be­
fore confirmed him with the testi­
mony that they were out o f order
even in January. There may not
have bean any lire under them then,
aa there waa none now, but if they
needed repairing now it was clearly
because they needed repairing .thou.

A woman visitor at a smart girls’
finishing school in a N ew York
suburb was much interested in a
Japanese pupil who was in bar sec­
ond year at the school. “ Does she
pick up our language at all read­
ily?” she inquired of one of the
teachers with whom she was talk­
ing.
“ 1 think you may say fairly well,**
replied the teacher. “ For instance,
she has been trying to make her
straight black bair wave like that
o f our girls. It was only this morn­
ing that she came and told me that
last night she had put up her hair
in curlers, and she added that when
she took it down this morning
•there was nothing doipg.’ **— N ew

On bis perilous expedition through
Tibet Dr. Sven Jledin stained bis
hands and face like a native’s and,
disguised as a common Ladakhi,
made his way through the country,
exploring and collecting informa­
tion of great value. When the party
met strangers the doctor woula get
down and walk with the attendants
driving the baggage and sheep and
in f by the name of H ad ji Baba,
ven so, more than ones the real
husineee o f the party was suspected,
and the venturesome doctor had
more than one narrow escape.
p A s early as 1790 there wss a rude
machine used by shoemakers for
sewing the leather for boots and
«hoes. T h at was the first. step in
toe progress of mechanical sewing,
but the machine waa too crude to
bo used on anything finer than
leather- i.
jp#The first reallv practical sewing
machine was made by a poor tailor,
Bertbelemy Thimmonier of S t Eti­
enne, France, in 1830. In Thim -
monier’s apparatus the needle was
hooked at the end, and, descend­
ing through the cloth it brought up
with At a loop o f thread that I t car­
ried through the previously made
loop, and thus farmed a chain on
the upper surface of the febric.
Although th e machine was made
of wood and very clumsy, it appear­
ed at an opportune time, for there
was a great demand just then for
thousands of extra army garments
tb it could not be supplied through
the regular sources.
A s many as
eighty 'machines were n ude and
used fpr the government. Bnt the
occasion that made the invention
successful w m also the means of
its downfall, for shortly afterward
an ignorant and furious mob wreck-
ad the establishment and nearly
murdered the unfortunate inventor.
Thimmonier, however, waa not
discouraged.
H e went to Paris,
traveling the entire distance on
foot, without a penny in his pocket,
I n that city he had the good fo r ­
tune to interest a firm in his inven­
tion, and preparations were made
to begin m anufacturing tne ma­
chines. But scarcely was the enter­
prise started when the revolution
o f 1848 turned the country upside
down and blasted the prospects o f
tha resolute inventor. Still be hop­
ed to get recognition in the great
exhibition at London in 1851, but
here his machine failed absolutely
to attract any attention, ao, down­
hearted and discouraged, he Jour­
neyed sadly back to St. Etienne and
died there in 1837. m I H
Elias Howe was more fortunate.
H is machine, too, wss more ingeni­
ously made and did better work,
bnt there is no doubt that Thim -
m onier, the poor French tailor, de­
serves the credit o f making the first
practical sewing machine.— Y ou th ’s

Origin •» Myth«.
T h e human mind, whether that
o f tha savage or the civilised man,
is naturally a thinking machine. In
early times, ’W o r e
born, the phenomena of nature re­
quired an explanation, and the sav­
age beholder shaped the myth,
which satisfied his untutored mind.
It is out o f man’s natural craving
to know the “ reason w h y" that all
myths are horn. A s the distinguish
ad anthropologist Tylofc puts it,
“ W hen the attention of a mar in
the myth making stage of intellect
is drawn to any phenomenon which
has to him an obvious reason he

the pain itself. A human being ia
capable of pain up to a certain de­
gree only, as also of pleasure up to
a correspondingly high degree, and
no more. N ay, one person is capa­
ble of more suffering and more en­
joyment than another, and it ia a l­
together a fallacious notion that
there ia as much agony when a fly
is crushed “ as when a giant die».”
H o w often, after long and dismal
anticipation of a tragic event, we
have found at the last that the an­
ticipation o f a tragic event outran
the reality. This is caused not only
by the quickness and resourceful­
ness o f min<V bat also by the cir*
cuinstance that we cannot bear
more than a certain measure o f
pain and affliction.

ed that as every extreme causes its

sensation of $old, as frost can born
like fire, as laughter can end in
tears and tears in laughter, as wis­
dom sometimes subsides into folly,
and tha jester will utter the sayings
6f a sage, so excess of pain may end
in a sort of thrilling pleasure, and
this may account for the sudden
ecstacies of martyrs under torture.
T h e passing o f earth, then, would
not cause so much human pain as is
generally believed. It would prob­
ably be nothing more than the sud­
den awakening into a new world
from an outgrown condition of be­
ing.— N ew Y o rk American.

A Soak« That Craw«.
There exists in Venesuela a spe­
cies of snake of an exceedingly ven­
omous and crafty character. T his
snake utters a cry that is the almost
exact imitation of a cock crow. The
unwary
traveler
when
walking
through the buah will be astonished
to hear near at hand this extraordi­
nary crowing. H e proceeds toward
the'spot, when the snake darts out
and stings the unfortunate man
with its terrible forked tongue. I f
not taken promptly in hand the
sting will in nine ctaee out of ten
turn oat to be fatal.
