ing that time there is at least one after
noon in every week devoted to the cruel
sport. The proceeds go to the fund of
the general hospital rather doubtful
way, one would think, of raising money
for such purpose. OF the bull-fghts
themselves | have no desire to give you a
description, only so far as is necessary to
make you understand the incident have
already promised to relate to you.
Notice had been posted in all the pub
lie places of Cadiz that on certain day a
celebrated bull, called Ell Moro, would
be introduced into the arena, and that
when he should have been goaded to the
uttermost fury a young girl would APP
pear and reduce the animal to quiet sub
lection. The people of Cadiz had heard
of Ell Moro as the most magnificent bull
ever brought into the city and it soon
became known that the girl thus adver-
tised was peasant-girl of Espara, who
had petted the bull, fed him, and cared
for him during the years of his growth.
On the appointed day the vast am
phitheatre was filed with an anxious,
eager crowd The bulls before brought
in had been killed and dragged away,
and then the flourish of trumpets an
nounced the coming of the hero of the
day. With deep, terrific roar Ell Moro
entered upon the scene. He was truly
magnificent, bovine monarch-black
and. glossy, with eyes of fire, dilating
nostrils, and wicked-looking horns.
The picadores attacked him warily,
hurting their banderillos-small dart-like
javelins ornamented with ribbons and in
tended to Jade and infuriate-at the bull
He had killed three horses finland, and
had received eight banderillos in his
neck and shoulders, when, upon a given
signal, the picadores and matadores sud
denly withdrew, leaving the Infatuated
beast alone in his wild paroxysms of
wrath.
Presently soft, musical note, like the
piping of lark, was heard, and directly
atterward girl no more than fifteen
years of age, with the tasteful garb of an
Andalusian peasant with pretty face,
sprang lightly into the arena, approach
ing the bull fearlessly, at the same time
calling his name moro Moro tavoy -
AT the first sound of the sweet voice
the animal ceased his fury and turned
toward the place whence it came, and
NS SSSN VhO SliI Lie PLAINLY ulduI-
tested pleasure. She came to his head
and put forth her hand, which he licked
with his tongue. Then she sang low,
sweet song, at the same time caressing
the animal by patting him on the fore
head and while she sang the suffering
monarch kneeled at her feet Then she
stopped and gently removed the cruel
banderillos, after which, with her arm
around Ell Moro's neck, she led him to-
ward the gate Of the amphitheatre.
What was the secret of the peasant
girls power over this animal? Simply
that she had petted him, fed him, and
cared for him during his growth. Does
not this speak volumes for her love and
patience toward the poor dumb beast,
and one of such fierce nature? Think
of it when inclined to be harsh or cruel
toward any living creature under your
charge which God has created and placed
here upon the earth for purposes s.

A Child's PRAYER.

o Saviour hear a little child
Who knows not how to pray;
On earth thy face, so meek and mild,
Was never turned away.
The children gathered to thy breast
Have found blessed home,
Where safe from every sin they rest
o suffer me to comet
l ask thee for heart to try
To please thee day by day,
Thy love to lead me back when I
From thy commandments stray.
Do thou, o Lord, my sins forgive
The sins that wound thee sore
And teach me every day live
To love thee more and more.

The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back

Whatever the cause, don't

roasts; they like it better for steaks,
they say, but cannot afford to buy so
much bone. Living, however, is ex-
ceedingly cheap there and all through
this section-cheaper than any other
part OF the country, perhaps.
The social side Of this village life is
very meagre and cold. The women
rule matters here very generally. The
men Of snap and stuff having sought
their fortunes elsewhere, those who
remain are easily domineered by their
wives, mothers and sisters. This fact
accounts for much that is otherwise
odd in Names condition. Dancing is
almost lost art here. Music is
sober and serious. New Workers are
regarded with uneasiness. The Wild
er Western man is looked upon with
positive distrust. A person who con-
fesses to liking for lager-beer is view
ed in Castine as confirmed opium
eater would be in Albany. The gre
garious instinct Of the two sexes find
vent in mite societies, singing class
es, ana grand camp-meetIng once a

max Of popularity in Maine. There is
not much sedate and quite comfort,
for the woman at least As to mascu-
line diversions, it is not easy to hit
upon their identity. The men of the
village do not seem to get much fun.
Perhaps their sport is spread so even
through their listless lives, along with
their labor, that there is no call to
break out in spots. Certainly there
is no such thing as hilarity among
them. After supper they are wont to
stand or sit in little groups of two or
three in front of the closed stores on
the main street, talking little, chew
ing or smoking tobacco invariably,
laughing never.

The reputation of Blackwood

The reputation of Blackwood for
originality is maintained in the latest
number by an amusing sketch enti-
tied "a Fixed Period" 1t is the story
of an attempt to secure the adoption
in "Brittannia," an island in the
South Pacific, of a law, ''The Fixed
PERIOD" by which, after sixty-seven
and half years of life, every person
should be gently put out of the world.
Certain veins are to be opened, while
the departing one should, under the
influence Of morphine, be gently en-
tranced within a warm bath" The
theory is that, by the abolition of the
miseries, weakness and imbecility of
old age, by the prearranged ceasing to
live Of those who would otherwise be-
come old, much suffering would be
avoided
