His knowl edge of language was limiet dto Eng lish and French, and being desirous of addressing the sovereign in his own tongue, he took pains to "coach" for the occasion. Several phrases vere rehearsed until he felt that he had them mastered. When the criti cal moment arrived he saluted the king with great dignity, spoke a few words in Spanish, and passed on. "What did you say," asked an Eng lish gentleman. "I spoke in Spanish," was th re joinder. "I 6aid 'I cast myself at your feet,' which I am told is -the most respectful form of salutation." "Ah, no!" corrected a Spaniard, who had been observed to smile at the ambassador's greeting. "You are mistaken; you transposed your words and quite altered the meaning." "What did I say," asked the diplo mat. With a twinkle in his eye the Span iard made answer, "What you really I throw my heels at your i,,i " But the king had not betrayed, by so much as the fluttering of an eye lid, that anything unusual had oc curred. -Harper's Magazine for August.

Richard Hovey in August Century. chance. August Ladies' Mr. -Wallace Cummfngs writes oi "Life in Manila" for the August Cen tury. Mr. Cummings says: Among the first things to impress a stranger are the horses. Descend ed from horses brought from Mexico, they have become much smaller, while they are also much more shapely. In fact, I .have have never seen a better looking breed. There is nothing of the pony about their shape, thougn in sixe they range between forty-eight and fifty-two inches. At first it look ed absurd to see them ridden by big men whose stirrups hung down to the horses knees; but I soon found out that they easily carried a rider weighing two hmundred pounds. The foreigners have a jockey club, which holds two meetings a year at the beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To avoid sharp practice, members of tie club only are eligible to ride. This necessitates a scale of weights start ing at one hundred and thirty-two pounds and rising to one hundred and fifty-four pounds. It demonstrates the speed and strength of these min iature horses that a mile has been run in two minutes and ten seconds oy a It is the Cuban idea to belittle, in every possible manner, every arm of the Spanish service. Cavalrymen can not ride. Artillerists cannot find the range. Infantrymen cannot march or shoot. Their arms are antiquated and their heart are not in the fight. A Cuban scout told me that if a Spanish cavalryman galloped his horse he would fall off; if any 'of the Spanish army heard a gunshot they would run away. My observations bave not found this to be a fact, however, and I do not think too much dependence should be placed upon the prejudiced word of the over-enthusiastic patriot from across the gulf. The time that we spent on the Cuban coast showed the Spaniards to be very alert, and ready for attack. They have an excel lent signal service both with wirs and with heliograph and flags. The in telligence of our movements was evi dently conveyed by this service each day, as the movements of troops indi cated. Batteries had been placed at every spot where a ship could be landed. Anything but a landing in force would be the extremity of folly. Scribner's for August.
