Dreadful .;yene at a Ball.Fisht.

A thrilling episode is reported from
San Juan de Linz, Spain, as having taken
place during a grand bull-fght which
came on in thst town. Frascuelo, the
eminent toreadof, had been engaged for
the Correo, although scarcely Seoovered
from wound inflicted upon him by a
bull at Pampelrra, fortnight previous
ly, aud entered the ring, his left arm still
bandaged and in a sling, amid the en-
thusiastie plaudits of the public. After
the first bull had been subjected 10 the
usual preliminary tortures at the hands
of the chulos, picadores and banderilleros,
Frascuelo took up his position In front Of
the corrogidor's box, there to deal the
.infuriated animal its death blow, secund-
uqa ayteaa As, however, he delivered
the mortal thrust with his accustomed
grace, tho bull caught him under the
arm pits and tossed him into the air,
trampling upon hizn when he fell. With
great difficulty the bsnderilleros sue
ceeded in distraeting the angry brute's
attention froa It's PROSTATE foe, who was
raised from the ground, still conscious,
yet unable TO stand without support. As
he was being carried out Of the ring the
bull made fierce rush at the bystanders,
who had climbed over the barriers, anda
scene of indescribable panic ensued,
which, however, was happily terminatsd
by the deeth Of the bull. Transfxsd BY
Frascuelo's blade, it stopped short, close
by the baJrier, ss though stricken by
lightning, tottesed, fell forward ON its
knees, and rolled over dead, having
avenged its sor,nentow by disabling the
most skillful and intrepid matador Of the
peninsula. Frascuelo is still in desperate
state, but little hope being entertained
OF his recovery.

An Engineers Wager.

An amusing incident in the career Of
Mr.. A. L. Holly is related by New
York paper. While working as an en-
gineer on one Of the railways, he made o
wager with some of his fellows that he
could run locomotive a mile without
fire, water on steam, the locomotive to be
taken empty and cold, from the shop and
towed by another engine to point al
some disssSce ON the road where q level
stretch ct tack favored the experiment..
Young Holly rode in solitary state on his
cold locomotive to the scene of trial, and,
unsuspected by his escort, set his looomo-
tive for backward running, 30 tnat the
revolution Of the driving wheels moved
the piftons in such way as to pump air
iato tlle boiler. This gave him, by tho
time tie destined point was reached,
more than Que hundred and fifty pounds
Of air pressure il The boiler, by means OF
eaieh Ao ,ai, his mile and won his wager

TURNIPs Aa room.

10 cook turnip, says the Caterer, Is
90 simple matter that there should be
very little said about it. Generally
speaking, however, this wholesome veg
etable Is presented In washsd-out
state, so that it is quite seldom we dis
cover its real favor.
Many will, perhaps, say that the real
flavor of the turnip is too strong, and
this may be an argument in favor Of the
reduction Of its favor in the process Of
cooking. DE gustt6us non eat dispss-
tzsaduns, and those who cannot endure
the full flavor Of this root will have no
trouble in subduingit. But it should be
known that the saccharine and gummy
constituents that are removed and
therefore lost in the customary modes Of
cooking, are the most nutritious por-
tions, and communicate to the dish
when 1t is cooked, on what we may call
conservative principles. q far finer flavor
than the majority OF people have any
idea OF. That we may be understood,
we will ask the reader to cook two tur-
nips in two different ways. The first to
be peeled and sliced, and left to soak in
cold water for an hour or more. The
slices are to be boiled until quite
tender, and then ara to be drained and
nicely mashed with butter. This is the
most common method of cooking, and it
has the demerit of washing out the gum
and sugar and other fine constituents of
the root, and consequently the flavor is
very much reduced. The other root is
to be washed quite clean, but is not to
be peeled, or cut, or soaked. Boil it
whole in it's "jacket" It will take
twice as long to cook as the one that
was cut. When, by trying it with a
fork, You find it quite tender, take it up,
peel it, press it moderately. and mash it
with butter. You will be surprised at
the difference. Instead OF being, as
perhaps you viii expect, strong"
crank" or "bitter," it will be de-
Hcious, fullfavored, and will contain all
the nourishment that was in it before IL
was cooked,

Iron and Bronze,

Prot. Huntington, Of Kings College,
London, is not convinced that the belief
that mankind employed bronze before
iron Is well founded 1t is true, indeed,
that more bronze than iron implements
have come down to us from prehistoric
times; but the force of that fact is weak
ened considerably by the very important
consideration, frequently disregarded,
that iron oxidizes very rapidly-is soon
reduced to rust; while bronze, on the
other hand, decays very slowly. At
very remote period the inhabitants of In
dia were we'll acquainted with the work.
ing of iron, and there is every reason to
believe that the ancient Egyptians could
also manufacture it. Man, in very
savage state, may have practical
knowledge of the nature and use OF iron,
as has been proved by the finding of
iron assegais Of native workmanship, In
Zululand. The hard and fast lines u.s.
uaIly drawn to indicate human progress
first from the stone, then to the bronze,
and lastly to the iron age, need to be re-
la1ed, to say the least.

Humboldt, who took Il deep interest ii

quested one OF his scic. silic frieads, al

opportunity of neetiag one Of his more
remarkable patients. A fey days later
he received an invitation from the
specialist in question to supper, and on
his arrival at his friends house found
two strange gentlcinan awaiting him,
neither OF whom WIS formally introduced
to him by his Amphitryon. Ono was an
elderly gentleman Of grave demeanor,
dressed in the height of the prevailing
fashion, by no means talkatiTe, and man
nestly devoted to the pleasures of the
table. The other was comparatively
young man, extremely excitable in man
ner, with long, disheyelrd hair, ill-made
clothes, and so cxuhersntly voluble
that he all but monopolized the con-
yersation Throughout the evening, al
though Humboldt himself Was one of the
most loquacious men alive. This Wild
looking person displayed extraordinary
versatility and restlessness in his talk,
which teemed with pafadoxes, and dealt
with an infinite variety OF subjects.
Humboldt listened to his brilliant
ramblings with absorbing interest, and
upon taking leave of his host at a late
hour OF the night expressed his gratitude
for the psychological experience afforded
him, observing that "the mailman had
amused him beyond MI measure" Chow

scarcely exchanged word with him all

THE FRIDAY PREJUDrcE,

A Philadalnhia clAresrrnen has ..hiAnt,
cd to the execution of the death penalty
on any other day than Friday, on the
ground that. as Christ was crueified on
Friday, the selection of that day for
hangings affords collateral evidence of
the event. It is difficult to see any his
torical corroborations in this were the
statement true, which it is not. A usage
has grown up Of late in some of our
States to carry out all death sentences
on Friday. It has not been universal,
however, in this country, and it has
never prevailed in England. Up to
about forty-fiv years ago, only forty
eight hours were allowed to intervene
between the sentence and execution Of q
criminal. Al trials were likely to begin
toward the middle Of the week and to be
continued near its end, it happened that
q large proportion Of the hangings took
place on Monday morning. To this cir
cumstance the appellation blue Mon
day" owed its existence in part, though
the reaction from a Sundays dsbauch,
80 commonly felt during its hours, may,
in part, account for the title. Billing
ham, who murdered Mr.. Percival, the
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, in 1919,
was hanged on Monday, and SO was
Oourwisier, the assassin Of Lord William
Russell, who was executed twenty-eight
years later. Wainwright, executed in
London three years ago, for killing his
mistress and cutting up her body, met
his fate on Tuesday, and glance at
other cases would show that every Sec
ular day has been similarly employed.
A former Governor of the indignant
minister's own State deliberately chose
other days than Friday for enforcing the
extreme penalty Of the law with the
hope Of freeing Friday from superstitious
associations and bad luck, and, so far as
these are dependent on thoughts Of the
scaffold, he acted wisely. The need Of
this precaution may be doubted by
some, but the stupid criticism Of one
who claims to be an instructor of the
people shows that it was not superauous.
