NOBLES KEEP HER POOR,

Spain Has Many Pensioners and Suffers Also From Absenteeism.

With such a sun and such a soil, why should Spain be poor? Her land is rich with minerals. Her climate is all that vegetativn requires to be fruitful. This is mostly true of Italy and Ireland, too, and the cause of the poverty of these three countries is the same. The land is the property of a few nobles, whose only care as landlords is to extract from it enough money to enable them to maintain their rank and live at ease at the court. The tenants know that all they put into the soil only gees to enrich their landlords, and so, taking example from them, they lead a dpvdfans Vite, save nothing and make no effort to increase the productiveness of

' their land.

But it is not to these facts that the in- solvency of Spain is due. The people pay enough taxes to keep the national finances ina sound condition were it not thata large proportion of the money finds its way into the pockets of parasitos, crea- tures of the ministry. There are thousands of needless pensioners, who keep the treas- ury low.

Here is an instance of the way the peo- ple’s money is spent in pensions. It ap- peared in the Madrid newspapers, apropos of the marriage of the pensioner, now an old man. Many yesrs ago, when Queen Isabella was on the throne, this nobleman

vocoupied for cne hour only the office of minister of the interior. He had been elected to the cortes, and his father was a friend of the leader of the opposition, who had at that moment just been intrusted with the formation of a ministry. In this task the new premier encountered diffi- eulty. Few deputies would consent to serve, At last, however, he succeeded in filling all the posts but onc, the ministry of the interier. Three nours before the newly appointed ministers were to wait upon the queen the young hidalgo called on the new prime minister and presented ® letter of introduction from his father, and then without hesitation the premier asked the new deputy, ‘‘Will you be min- ister of the interior?’’

The young nebieman started in aston- ishment, evidently doubting the question- er’s sanity. But he was reassured, and be- fore he left the house he had accepted the office. The hidalgo kad just time to drive to a tailor's and obtain a ready made court dress in which to be presented to the queen, and then, within an hour, he en- tered the cortes a cabinet minister. His appointment was immediately condemned by a vote of the cortes, and within an hour he was dismissed from office. In disgust he resigned his seat in the cortes, and has never since taken anz part in political af- fairs. But an ex-cab/set ministerin Spain is entitled to a pensicn of 36,000 pesetas a year, and this pension the minister of an hour has drawn regularly ever since.— New York Press.

MORAVIAN VIEW OF DEATH.

A Beautiful and Impressive Custom of the Moravians,.

Clifford Howard contributes to The La- dies’ Home Journal an interesting article upon the Moravians of Bethlehem, Pa., and their religious customs:

‘‘Upon the death of one of the congrega- tion,’’ he writes, ‘‘the event is announced, not by the monotonous, mournful tolling of the bell, but by the deep breathing, melodious music of trombones, played in the open belfry steeple of the church by the trombone choir, and as the deep, sweet notes of the familiar hymn are borne to the people below they reverently drop their work to listen. ‘Hark!’ they whisper, ‘the horns are blowing. Someone has gone home!’ ‘Gone home!’—perhaps nothing more beautifully exemplifies the perfect, unquestioning faith of these devoué people than that expressive utterance, the sincer- ity of which 1s ever demonstrated by the lack of mourning at the passing away of a member of the household, however dearly beloved. So true and heartfelt is the Mo- ravian belief that death is but the entrance toa brighter, happier home. The trom- bones are also used at the tonching funeral services held at the grave, and amid their sad yet inspiring strains the departed one is laid to his eternal rest. Onall occasions, whether of death or joy, the trombones lend their sweet solemnity in fitting breath. From the steeple they herald the

festival day of each of the choirs, and ia all open air services their mellifluoua tones are ever present.’’
