The bulls for regular bull fights in
Spain are bred with the greatest care,
bred with the greatest care for this
special purpose, the most celebrated
herds being those or the Dukes OF
Osuna and Saraguas, and of Don
Antonio Miura. And very hand
some are these cattle. deep chested,
STRAIGHTFORWARD animals which stand
ing on clean. slender legs, look al
most as much like racing as a Der
by favorite. They have fine, thor
ough-bred head. surmounted by fine,
tapering, upright horns and graceful
necks, and differ considerably from
the massive front of an English bull.
The beautiful heads borne by these
cattle more resemble that OF stag,
TO which animal they may also be
compared i'm their wonderful activity
and jumping powers. The predom-
mating colors are usually fawn, more
or less light, with dark muzzles and
ears dark dun. relieved by light
shades in places black and red and
occasionally an admixture of white
win be found, but this is rare, and is
probably due to some foreign cross.
IN size and weight the Spanish bulls
for the ring differ but little from the
Ayrshires.

Hnsks for pillows.

Some time ago went to visit one
of my old school friends who had
married and gone to housekeeping.
She was an excellent housekeeper,
everything was in order. and kept
so by her own hands. During my
visit there, / noticed tho very large
pillows on all the beds (she was not
blessed with a snperfuous amount Of
this worlds goods.) and asked her
how she could get feathers enough
TO make mp all those nice pillows.

They were two Madison avenue

Yes, gentle reader, for that is the

They are not as other men. The
sanctity of quiet tete-a-tetes is not

the oaths of their profession to tell
all they can find out of everybody's
business, and the more unscrupulous
they are in getting hold of something
to tell the more worthy are they to
enter the scribbler's heaven. One of
the young ladies was blonde, the
other sort of half and half. That
is to say, she had light hair. but not
too light, complexion ditto, but eyes
as black as charcoal. She was the

Choked Cattle.

During the past winter. says q
correspondent. we have fed our cows
and young cattle many bushels Of
apples and during the time have
had several cases of choking in the
herd. One COW. in particular re-
quired close watching as she quite
frequently got an apple lodged in
her throat while eating. Instead of
attempting to punch the apple down
at such times. our first move was
always to turn her loose and make
her move about the yard few min
utes. This alone was generally
sufficient to cause the apple to
move either up or down, but. if not
q tablespoonful Of soft soap was
dissolved lin a quart OF warm water
and with some person to hold her
head, a little Of the suds was pour
ed down her throat. followed by gen.
tie hand rubbing on the out side of
the neck near the seat of the trouble.
Sometimes two or three doses
would be required, but generally one
was sufficient. We recommend
soapsuds as fully equal 10 sweet oil
or other more expensive prepara-
tion while it is always easy to pro-
cure at short notice. If one is feed
ing roots, apples or potatoes to
stock. he should keep little watch
of the animals while eating and at
tend to any case OF checking imme-
diately for If let alone but for a
short time the parts become inhamed
and the removal of the DISTINCTIONS
become much more difficult. even If
death does not take place before the
case is discovered.

Interview with a Female Clerk

Interview with a Female Clerk.
Some time ago Commissioner
Pratt, of the international revenue
bureau, was apprised Of the direlic-
tion of duty on the part of several
Of the female employees of his office.
1t was the habit OF those complain
ed of to reach their desks long after
the prescribed Office hours. To
remedy this he directed that letters
should he severally addressed to the
delinquents conveying the informa-
tion that they must be at their du-
ties at 8 O clock or find other employ
ment which would crafty their pro-
pensity for late hours. The letters
were accordingly directed and duly
received. One of the ladies who
received such a nissive took nm-
bragg at it. and declared that she
would not stay it. So one morning
recently she marched into the Com
missioner's Office.
-s'Good morning. Mr.. Pratt said
she. e1 s
"Hol Good morning."
"Mr. Rratt, said she, Il nave re-
ceived your letter. Perhaps you are
not aware of the influence which was
interposed to give me official posi-
tion9'
"Indeed, madam, ] am not"
"Well, then, am happy to inform
You that / was appointed upon the
Joint solicitation of Senator Chris
tiancy and ex-senator Chandler"
Mr.. Pratt, after she had impaired
this important information, took a
good look at her and said "Now.
madam, go back to your desk. And
you must be there at nine o'clock in
the morning. If you are not, shall
disslniss YOU don't care il you
are endorsed by dozen Christiacys
and Chambers. you must do your
duty"
The young lady retired. She has
since managed TO eat at 8 o'clock
breakfast, and begins the official
routine at q. m. promptly, just the
same as ifshe didn't have the double
backing.

New Tops on Old Pear Trees.

That the pear is long-lived tree,
the famous Endicott and Stuyvesant
pear trees, going back to hundred
years and more, attest. Yet we fire.
quently find trees that look old at
fifty years and less, with dead limbs
mossy trunk and fruitless boughs.
These old trees are often seedlings
or poor varieties, that have offered
no particular inducement to their
owners to care for them. A crop Of
astringent or sour pears is not much
missed when it fails. These old
trees sometimes occupy lawns or
fields near the house. and will repay
abundantly the little care that is
needed to give them q new start and
to graft them with standard yarie-
ties. The secret of success with
these old trees is to stir the soil all
around them as far as the roots ex-
tend, to manure literally, to cut ont
all the dead wood, and about the
second season, when the tree has
got good start, to commence graft
ing. We take three seasons to put
on new top. beginning with the
highest limbs and working down.
In renewing the vigor of the tree,
almost any kind of manure or COM
post is available. Wood ashes is
one of the best fertilizers. Old
bones. well buried, will pay a large
interest on their cost. The con tents
of the privy vault and the cesspool.
composted, are exceedingly valaa-
BILE in these old trees; in stirring
the soil, care should be taken not
TO break the roots with the plow.
We attach about equal Importance to
the stirring of the soil and 10 the fer
tilizing, IN the process Of Renovation.
