THE SPRITE OF THE HILLTOP. PICTURESQUE GIBRALTAR. Streets Filled With Soldiery and Begll.h Girls and Spanish Beauty. It would soein that the object of those who control Gibraltar is not to let anyone 1 forget that the place is a military post and the English are the stars of the piece. There is a oonstant display of military splendor on the streets, and squads of sol- diers are marched baok and forth, as if a siege was to bo declared that afternoon. Officers on borsebaok ride up and down through the town, returning with monot- onous regularity the salutes of the soldiers who stride briskly along the walks. Young English officers in riding suits, others in pink hunting coats and others cantering in from the polo grounds give a soolal tone to the conglomerate throng of the street, and young English girls on slender and spirited looking horses or in dogoarts add a really festive air to the spectacle. You can tell ono of the English girls a mile off. They are blond and homely, with the in- evitable mase of hair palled the "bun" jutting tar out under the lee of a little straw hat and with the fresh glow of health in their faces that conies from lots of outdoor exercise. They walk with a swinging stride; and their shoes are as heavy as a man's. They all seemed to be wearing a bluish gray sort of dress, which must be the proper thing now with young g English ladies, a little straw hat and, as a general thing, they were accompanied, when walking, by fox terriers. One girl, who looked like the kind of young lady Du Manlier used to draw in the back of Har - per's Magazine, carried a stick, and no- body seemed to show any alarming amount of wonder at 1t. Old officers, gorgeous In lace, in white helmets or else in simple tunic with flap- ping ribbons aoross their breasts and pill- box caps, ride briskly through the town, jostling the little donkeys and rubbing against the yellow one horse hanks that rattle over the clean cobblestones. Moors in flowing and voluminous garb and in various conditions of cleanliness and re- spectability straggle along in barelegged dignity, causing wonder among the tour- ists fresh from the west. Sailors from the different men -of, -war in the harbor, has, ing a day's liberty on shore, luroh along with the approved swing of a sad seadog, in their best blue clothes and with the names of strange ships worked in their oaps. Pretty Spanish girls look down from under the green shutters that swing out from the windows, and these damsels generally are so attractive that one is in great danger of running into somebody or else being run over by a donkey Dart or a yellow hack. Tourists with norfolk jackets and guide- books and fleldglasses bung over their shoulders huddle around the tourist agenoy reading letters from horse or wait- ing for other members of their party who at that moment are buying photographs at a bazaar up the street or watching soldiers rilling down on the parade grounds.- Gibraltar Letter in Chicago Record. When noons are hot and very still, It's ho for the sprite that lives on the hint Stealing along from nook to nook, Over the stones in the mountain brook, Along the path where the cattle go. On shyest ways that the hill folk know, Through sunny open and leafy alley, Down he hies him into the valley. Then the thistle wheel round and round Goes rolling and rolling without a sound, And a silver shimmer runs over the pond, And he•runs after, and on beyond Swings the wild cherries asleep by the wall, Duffs the fur of a squirrel, and that is all. A whiff of sweet from tho wood or the meadow! He is here again on the back of a shadow, And it's crinkle on crinkle along the track His quick feet make on the shadow's bads. Off he jumps and, whisking up, Spills sunshine out of a buttercup, And yellow bugs, all shiny and lazy, Tumbles headlong off the daisy. He tickles the rib of a fat old toad, He emotilors the mulleins with smoke of the road.

This good clay runs from 10 to 90 feet deep around Omaha, and good clay can be found in all the hills. It is free from limestone, whioh,- as every brick - maker knows, is a great advantage. If there were little pebbles of limestone, even if no larger than a pea, they would be burned in the bricks without being known. Then, when the brick became moist, the limestone would slack and the brick burst to pieces. "This is splendid clay for machine work because it is free both from these pobblee and also from tree roots, which clog and break machines.

"I would give five years of my life," said a young attorney who is beardless, "to have your whiskers," This was said t.4 ;FiixQ.}gh,C teas ell lf:i� r` l k1 9tu4 a".ut whiskers.

It seems to me that the per capita circulation of hair is inadequate to the needs of the nation. I have never had the slightest use for a razor in all my life, and yet such a beard as 'yours would be worth at least $5,000 a year to me as a lawyer. Strangers hesitate to employ an attorney in an important case if he has not a beard. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but it generally bolds good just the same. If a man is portly and has a good address, it does not so much matter; but, taking the average lawyer or professional man, the board outs a considerable figure. "I have a brother who is in business where a board is of no particular benefit, and yet he is bearded like a pard. He Is taken for a doctor every day. One day last summer when he was walking on the West Side a woman rushed out of a house and insisted on his coining in to see her husband, whom she thought dying.

TYPICAL EGYPTIAN VILLAGE. Huts of Sun Dried Mud, Without Ventila- tion and Full of Vermin. R. Talbot Kelly, the English artist, has tvritton fur Thu Century au article enti- tled "An Artist Among the Fellaheen." Mr. Kelly says of a typioal Egyptian vil- lage: Built entirely of sun dried mud, the small, low huts, from considerations of economy and space, join one another whenever possible. Narrow and tortuous lanes, left at haphazard, form the only thoroughfares, in which at first appears to be a huge mound of mud, surmounted by heaps of cotton and durra stalks, which serve the dual purpose of thatch and fuel. Many of these lanes are mere ouls-de-sac, ending abruptly in a neighbor's courtyard and forcing one to retrace his steps and try again. Experience has taught sue that it is never wise to assume that the streets lead in the direction at first suggested. It is often safer to start the other way and trust to the winding of the path to bring one out somewhere near the desired spot. As a rule, the villages have the appear- ance of fortifications, the outside walls be- ing frequently without doors or windows, and the lanes of tho village terminating in massive wooden doors„ which are usu- ally closed at nightfall and guarded on the inside by the village guffrah, or night watchmen. Each house has usually one door, opening into the lane, small and low, and the few windows, 1f provided at all, are merely slits in the mud wall, innocent of glass or shutter, but ornamented with a lattice of split bamboo, planed crosswise during building. Ventilation there is virtually none, the smoke of the fire of dung or corncobs finding its egress by the door and well nigh choking the inhabit- ants, which include not only the family, but chickens, turkeys, pigeons, goats and whatever live stook the inhabitants pos- sess. Every effort to exclude air seems to be rondo, tho houses being too low to feel the breezes, and the streets too narrow to al- low of any air oiroulation. The roofs, cov- ered with piles of rubbish for fuel, afford accommodation for a second installment of goats, pigeons, cats, and especially doge. The Hanging Judge.
