THE ALHAMBRA BY DAYLIGHT. A TravcWir la IMimppolnted in the A p lrerituu of the Old Moorish l'aince. Hut I must coufeiei to a feeling of disap pointment in tbe Alhumbra. 1 had reud so much about it that my imagination was duutitleks too highly atiuiulutud. The cham ber and the hails and tbe courts seemed small aud contracted, and (her was noth ing about thuin to bo associated with any occupants, or to .ugest tbut tue palace bad ever been really a home. 1 could not real use it as an abode of comfort aud luxury. Lverytbing was the precise reveitj of what we know ax suug and easy. 1 should as oon thine of sleeping in a marble loinb as in one of ibose oueuilMira. There were pretty little niches iu which to put one's shoe oa entering an apurtmen, but no place to de posit oue's outer robes. When .uteika and Fauma went to bed they must have sbed (heir clotbiug on tbe boor, for there is not a ciosot iu tue palace, and it would have been a profauation to drive up a clothej-peg iuto those elaborate walla The marble floors wore hard and cold, and the richly orna mented porcelain and piaster wort of tbe walls aud ceilings sue mud as choeriess as icicles. Doubtless the entire absence of my fur nishing bad much to do with this. It was different in tbe old days. With thick ricn rugs on tho floor, and with hangings of silk anu damask, gold drapery and luxurious cushions, and lounei and divans, and beautilul languid women, and silent-footed attendants, aud dusky slaves, and the odor of iuceuse, aud the soft glow-shaded lamp, and tbe ru.tls of leaves, and tbe murmur ing of running water, aud tbe splash of fountains, aud tbe singing of birds, and tbe low notes of voluptuous music all these things are needed to put the breath of lite iuto this beautiful body. Furthermore 1 had always cherished a vague sort of idea that the elaborate scroll and line work of tbe walls and tbe rich sta lactite pendants of he ceilings were done in marble or in bronze or maybe tn gold and precious stones It was, of course, a fool ish notion, but still it is a disappointment to tind that tbey are simple plaster and wood. My visions of the Albainbra were really derived, 1 fear, rather Irotn the "Arabian Nights" than from any sober readiugof reliable description. Cor. De troit Free Frees. Development of " Khiuoplastlc Art. Among the prominent people in Europe who are blessed with peculiar noses Is tbe duke of Cumberland, eldest son of tbe late Jung of Hanover. X'be duks was born ab solutely without any nose at all, and tbe oue wbicb is appended to his face at present is principally composed of l.ssh taken from tbe arm while tbe skin it furnisheJ by a lapel out from the forehead between the two eyes and drawn dowu over it It doesn't loek particularly well, having tbe appearance of. being broKen and oue-sided; moreover, ogwiudy days it tremb.es and oscillates. .Perhaps, however, he may be induced to visit tbe celebrated Berlin surgeon, Pro fessor Konig, ou the subject Tbe lattor has ben expounding some new develop ments of the "Kbiuopluatic" art at a surgi cal conference iu Berlin, and shows tbat he bus a new method of repairing noses however broken, smashed or twisted. His noMM are superimposed upon a foundation formed by a portion of the 4iasal boue and resists the strongest winds. They have the advuutago also of having the correct clas sical turn, indeed, it is to be feared that fashionable persons may think it worth their while to break tbeir noses in order to have tbein remodelled. Berllu Letter. The Automatic Style of Barkeeper. "I see another style creeping in gradually however, a sort of barkeeper that i can not better characterize than as thj automatic. A few of the touiost places have got thoni, and the fashion w sure to be followed. Vour BUtotuatin barkoeper is not required to know anything but how to wait on his pa trons in the most absolutely perfect mun ner, and to preserve the most impressive countenance possible and the largest possi ble umouiit of Hilonce in a given space of time. He will bo the proper capir iu a few months more. After that, as tuiugs go iu cycles, I suppose tho old time jolly, bale fellow well met sort ot barkeeper will have his turn again if anyoody can in, etc a way of having him and the contents of the till, both.". .New Vork Sua She Ex-President's Kldest Son.

His features are rough, he has been so noisy about town of late as to attract universal attention, and be bears his six feat lour Inches of height with su h an ambling and jerky carriage that he ndbt be mistaken for a farmer s lad come to town clad in an axpensive but ill-fitting raiment and en dowed with extraordinary astirauca Jiew York Cor. Han Francisco Argonaut. Row On Man Marie a Dead Failure of Hts ExlHtncft. I have heard of two brothers, whoa father died, leaving them five hundred dollars apiece. "I will take this money, and ivike myself a rich man," . said Henry, the younger brother. "I will take this money and make myself a good man," said George, the elder. Henry, who knew little beyond the multiplication table, abandoned all the thought of going to school, and began by peddling, in a small way, over the country, lie was shrewd, and quick to loarn whatever he gave his atten tion to; and he gave all his attention to making money. He succeeded. In one year his five hundred dollars had become a thousand. In five years it had grown to be twenty thousand; and, at the age of fifty he wai worth a million. George remembered the words of tho wise man: "With all thy getting, get understanding." He spent two-thirds of his money in going to school, and acquiring a taste for solid knowledge. He then spent the remainder of his patrimony in pur chasing a few acres of land In the neighborhood of a thriving city. He resolved on being a farmer. After a lapse of thirty-five years the two brothers met It was at George's house. A bright, vigorous, alert man was George, though upwards of fifty five years old. Henry, though several years younger, was Tery infirm. He had kept in his counting-room long after the doctors had warned him to give up business, and now he found himself stricken in health beyond re pair. But that was not the worst He was out of his element when not making money. George took him into the library and showed him a line collection of books. Poor Henry had never cultivated a taste for reading. He looked upon the books with no more interest than he would have looked on so many bricks. George took him into his garden, but Henry began to cough, and said he was afraid of the east wind. When George pointed out to him a beautiful elm, he only cried: "Pshaw!" George took him intd bis green-house and talked with enthusiasm of some flowers which seemed to give the farmer great pleas ure. Henry shrugged his shoulders and yawned, ' saying: "Ah! I don't care for these things." George asked him if he was fond of paintings and engravings. "No, no! Don't trouble yourself," said Henry; "I can't tell one daub from another. "Well, you shall hear my daughter Edith play up on the piano; she is no ordinary per former, I asure you." "Now, don't, brother don't, if you love me!" said Henry, beseechingly; "I never could endure music." "But what can I do to amuse you? Will you take a rideP" "I am afraid of a horse. But if you will drive me carefully down to your village bank, I will stop and have a chat with the president" Poor Henry! Money was uppermost in his mind. To it he had sacrificed every other good thing. When, a few days after ward, he parted from his farmer brother, he laid his hand on his shoul der, and said: "George, you can just support yourself comfortably on the interest of your money, and I have got enough to buy up the whole of your town, bank and all, and yet your life has been a success, and mine a dead failure!" Sad, but true words. N. Y. Ledger. a,. Origin of the Square. Pliny says that Theodoras, a Greek of Samoa, invented the square and level, but the square figure is seen in the represented designs of the tower of Babel, one of the earliest important known structures. The city of Baby lon was a perfect square, and the bricks ustid in its buildings and walls were square; so, probably, were those in Bubel. Now to form small squares correctly and to introduce them in endless combination into buildings, it needed a guiding instrument of some kind. So the square as a constructive tool came into use. ' Among the ruins of Babylon, Nineveh and Petra it is said to have been represented. There are pictures and sculptures from the ruins of Thofces in Egypt showing the sauarc in tje hands of the artisan. LUNACY AND 'IRY. A Washington fcdltor W Which Malady Com D'fl'llKt, If we were vice-president of the toothpick trust we couldn't feel bigger than we felt last evening when a well dressed opulent-looking man came in and said he understood we had great influence with capital, and that he had a scheme which he would put in against our capital, and which would make every body connectud with it so rich that Croesus would go to history as a miserable pauper. With the air of one who. standing with his back to the treasury building, feels that he has millions behind him, we asked vhat the scheme was. Well." said he, "I am the Messiah, ftd " We felt thnt our attitude toward him had not been sufficiently rever ential, so we got right up and gave our chair to him and stood where we could reach his neck with one hars and a paper weight with the other". "I am the Messiah, and I can do sny thing. I could blow upon you and you would be gone. I can turn you into gold by just looking at you. You see that building across there?" "Yes." "F-f-f-ft!" said he. "There, now jot. ?ee there is no building there." "Your scheme, then, is one of house moving?" "No, sir. Bah! there's no money in house-moving." "Going to start a cyclone factory, may be?" "Naw. I can make a cyclone come along and blow the world way, but " 'There wouldn't be any money in that" we dared to suggest "Not a cent" "May be you intend to manufacture time. Time, yoa know, is money." "That's so," he said, joyously. "I appoint you an apostle for thinking of ttamt You're a smart man, and I won't have any but smart men for my apostles." "You write poetry, don't youf" "How did you know that?" "Oh, I see bo many poets. I ca tell one by the way he introduces him self." By this time he had a bundle of manuscript out of his pocket and was about to read it to us when we re sorted to a strategic movement whics necessity has forced us to learn and which we do not propose to expos'. This experience, which we hava re ported as faithfully as memory per mits us to, is by no means an extraor dinary one. Within the few months that postscripts has been a depart ment of the Post we have been more or less entertained by a pretty steady drizzle of this class of persons into the office and every one of them has ended by pulling out a bundle of poetry. Now what we should like to know is whether these people go crazy because they write poetry, or write poetry be cause they go crazy. We are in no special hurry for the answer. We are willing to wait until the vexed ques tion as to whether it is the codfish that salt the ocean or the ocean that salts the codfish is settled, but when the public has nothing more important on its mind, we should like to have the matter considered. Washington Post House-Flies Carrying Contagion. Since the recognition that in many diseases the infective principle is par ticulate, the possible means of con veyance of the virus from one to an other individual have widened. At tention has lately been recalled to the part which may conceivably be played In this direction by the agency of the house-fly. The granular ophthalmia of the shores of the Nile a true plague of Egypt has been shown to be propagated through this medium, and, also, that the bacillus tuberculo sis may exist in the intestines of flies which have been feeding on phthisical sputa. Indeed, it would appear that there is hardly any direction, either in our mode of living, eating or environ ment, whereby we can avert the pos sibility of the transference to our selves of this ubiquitous bacillus, and life would bocorae intolerable were it not for the well-grounded belief that phthisis is not dependent for its devel opment upon this microbe solely but upon the concurrence of many condi tions of almost, if not quite, as much Importance as its implantation in the body. Apropos of flies, however, it has been stated that the lamented Father Damien attributed his leprosy to the inoculation, through their agency, of an abrasion in the scalp. Lancet. PITH AND POINT.

Most men's experience Is like the tern lights of a ship which Illumine only the track it has passed.

Every man has his chain and hit clog, only it is looser and tighter to one man than to another. And he is more at ease who takes it up than he who drags it Man doubles all the evils of his fate by pondering over them; a scratch becomes a wound, a slight an injury, a jest an insult a small peril a great danger, and a slight sickness often ends in death by brooding apprehen sions. In all that we do we have a right to consider the effect it will have upon our characters, or upon the upbuild ing and development of our higher natures. No man is required to do vAat will belittle him. United Presbyterian. A beggar was sitting in a New York street, holding out a battered hat The following placard was hung about his neck: "Please, good people, help a poor blind man who was once rich, but who has been reduced from affluence to poverty. You will never regret it." Presently along came a pleasant-faced man with a sharp, Bhrewd eye. He looked at the poor old beggar curiously for a moment," and then suddenly drew back his arm as though to strike him a blow in the face. The movement was only a feint but it served the purpose. The beg gar jumped backward about a yard and started on a run up the avenue, winding his way in anJ out among the passing vehicles with wonderful skill for a blind man. . One Way to Propose. She "What do you think? I actually went to the post-office and couldn't remem ber my own mime." Ho "You are quite welcome tr tbe use of mine, if your own is so difficult to keep la mind." MODERN JERICHO. According to Good Authority t Is th Nastiest Villas: In th World. There are no exceptions to the law of evolution. The history or architect ure in the East is an illustration. Modern Jericho, which is two miles sou then st of Elisha's fountain, Charles Dudley Warner pronounces "the nasti est village ia the world." He saw it, and I have no reason to dissent from his judgment The few miserable huts swarm with Bedaween, and, I suppose, with vermin. Tourists familiar with the huts say that the natives frequently get up In the night and literally brush them from their bodies into the fire. An old, dilapi dated tower, a desperate necessity, has been fixed upon as the house of Zaccheus, tho publican. There are few buildings in modern style about Jericho a Russian convent built ol stone, a three-storied structure on which we were almost as much startled to read the label: "The Jordan Ho tel," as we would be to find a bush of roses on the summit of Mount Matter horn, and three modest villas built "by Russians. The last are surrounded by gardens protected against molesta tion by fences of dead thorn bushes piled eight or ten feet high and filled with flowers and fruit trees flourishing in tropical luxuriance. Here we saw the banana, its fruit still green; orange, lemon and fig trees, the grape and oleanders in full bloom. These beau tiful spots show beyond a perad venture what the plain might become under cultivation. At tho beginning of our era the balsam of Jericho was famous. The plain was presented by Anthony to Cleopatra, who sold it to Herod. Industry and enterprise would turn this desolate and lonely regiou into fertile lields. But as long as the Bedaween are the only population it will remain as it is, a mournful picture of rich land $oing to waste. N. X Mail and Express. k. '
