Situated twenty-five miles to the northwest of Madrid and near the top of a. moun- tain, it has a commanding position and may be seen for many miles in every direction. Begun by Philip II. in 1503, it was finished in 1586 at an estimated cost exceeding $50,000,000. It was built to fulfill a. vow made by Philip II. that if successful in battle with the French he would erect the most magnificent monastery in the world. The battle of St. Quentin was fought on August 10, 15:37, the Feast of St. Lawrence, and the monastery build- ings commenced in fulfillment of the vow took, in honor of St. Lawrence, the form of a gridiron, as on this im- plement the saint is reported to have suffered martyrdom. Seventeen ranges of buildings, crossing each other at right angles, form the ribs of the gridiron, while a quadrangular structure, completely inclosin'g the interior buildings, forms the outer portion, and owing 470 feet long is the handle. The size of the building is enor- mous, being 740 feet from north to south and 580 from east to west; the square towers at each corner are 200 feet high. Within this monstrous structure are contained the king’s palace, a cathedral, a monastery of 200 cells, iwo colleges. three chapter houses, three library buildings five large halls, six dormitories, three hospitals, three libraries and nearly 3,000 other rooms. It is entered by fourteen great gates and lighted by 1,110 outer and 1,578 inner windows. The great church is in imitation of St. Peter’s at Rome, and some idea of the structure of which it is apart may be gained from the information that the church is 364 feet long, 230 across the trunsepts; the dome is 330 feet high; there are forty chapels in its interior, and the grand altar is ninety feet high and fifty wide. Un- ddrrrezzth the altar is aburial vault, where all the kings of Spain since Charles V. have been laid. Built in the time of Spain’s glory, the Escurial remains the most striking monument .of Spanish wealth and power.——St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “Of Two Evils,” Etc. “I don’t think I’d like to live in your country,” remarked the eastern man to the Kansas farmer on the train. ' ' “Why not? It’s a fine country,” protested the Kansan. “May be so, after you get used to it;but I wouldn’t like the idea of having my house blown over by one of your cyclones.” ‘ ' “But we don’t'have any trouble like that.” “ Why,” exclaimed the customer, in surprise, “I’ve seen any number of instances reported. in the new5papers. ” “Some years ago, p’raps; but now every one of them is lies,” asserted the Kansan, “sent out by eastern banks and capitalists.
