101W'S ,`Wea in this txt .and in the
frttpe4ceesa,y to you that:grace is
like sale• in its beauty. 'In. Galicia

uncles) eound there are .chapels -and
hall's cefl reception, the columns, tile

the king and the princes come to vis-
it thesOmines, the whole place is il-
luminated, . and the glory of ,crystal

floors and crystal columns, under the
,glare ,,ctif the torches and the lamps,
needs words -4f crystal to. describe it.
But yo,noiSeecl not go so far as that
, to findeithe beauty of salt. You live
• in a land which produces millions of
, ,
bushels .csf it in a year, and you can
take the /morning rail train and iin a
few hours get to the salt mines arid
salt springs. And ey,oU have this art-
icle' morning, noon and night en your
