BULL FIGHTING IN MEXICO.

Bull-fghting in this country is sort of
partnership enterprise. 1t is private affair
with which the State does not concern itself
The amphitheatre, to begin with, is owned
by one party and rented to two others-the
one VINO furnishes the bulls and the captain
OF the fighters. Out of the gate money
somes first the expenses principally the
rent and some advertising. Next the owner
OF the bulls receives pay for his services
For each animal killed he gets 1913 or $40
Smaller compensation is rendered for the
rest of the herd, but sufficient altogether tc
satisfy him. The lions share of the income
thus goes to the chief Of the company, who
pays his adherents and pockets the remain.
der of the pile. Perhaps it should be said
that the public is n partner and not always
a silent one. The judge of the fight, repre-
senting the people, has authority to impose
fines on the star performer when he gives
poor entertainments. AS the disappointed
pleasure-seekers dispense just before dusk
tonight, it afforded them some satisfaction
to know that the great Ponciano Diaz had

its displeasure by hurting chairs, cushions

hands can be laid, into the ring. But the

as well have been killed in their stalls, and

DISADVANTAGES OF FLORIDA.

correspondent writes TO us from the
Peninsula, Florida Very much is written
about Florida which is so idealized that it
needs denial by some disinterested person
In the first place, Florida, though very de-
sirable as Winter residence, has n climate
that Is subject TO oft-repeated and very sud
den changes. Often the temperature from
sunset to sunrise will make startling
change from oppressive heat to frost. Per-
haps it is due TO this that in this " Land of
Flowers we have none, nor is vegetation
at oil abundant indeed, clover and grass
are absent, and the eye rests upon no CRATE
full sight save the orange grove from end to
end of long wastes of sand.
There is q curious impression abroad in
regard to this matter of orange culture.
People think it is neither expensive nor
troublesome to raise the trees, and that II is
only necessary to put them in the ground
and let them grow. But the orange tree,
though hardy, needs constant attention.
Fertilizers are not TO be had for nothing,
and laborers command 81 day. 1t is,
therefore, worse than useless TO come here
with small capital and expect to gain large
profits. Intending orange raisers should
have means, not only to meet all current
expenses of the business, but also to iivl
upon for ten or dozen years, unless ttey
can purchase their farms ready stocked, for
It takes that length Of time TO make barren

lection.

NO PANToMIME FOR HER.

One day deaf mute artist happening to
be near South Mountain, went to visit the
famous battlefield Of Antieta,n. After toll
ing for hours up to Turner's Gap, he came
back within sight of lonely cabin on the
mountain top. Through the open door
could be seen woman, already advanced
in years, with hooked nose on which a
very ancient pair of specs were suspend
ed. She was very bag in appearance.

cannon and the meeting of the hostile
ranks, when he suddenly stopped short in

A TUSSLE WITH A BEAR.
A. the End of Which the Playful Beast
Bites the Dust on IA Barn Floor.

Jesse Tomlinson, just in from Gunnison,
related the following story to reporter OF
the Netcs Three travellers, bound toward
the mines near Gunnison, rode up to the
cabin of John Osborne the other day. Upon
entering they discovered that Osborne was
absent, having gone TO town that morning
AS the cabin contained but one room, after
despatching their supper, they were shown
to q tent pitched near, and which was oidi-
narily used for the purpose and in which,
with their blankets, they made couches
About midnight they were awakened from
their slumbers by the sounds of combat,
es II OF a number OF dogs. Listening in
tently they heard growls intermingled with
the sound of blows and a woman's voice.
In an instant they were on their feet and

which even then was cracking his bones
like so many pipestems. Standing over him,
like fuzzy possessed, was Mrs. Osborne,
dealing him tremendous blows with club
in a vain en- leayor to make him loosen his
grasp. The heroic woman. in her despt IA
ton, seemed totally oblivious of danger to
herself, nor seemed to realize that Che bear
hardly felt the blows she was dealing so
rapidly. The bear, upon seeing the REIN
forcen onts, released his hold upon the dog,
who was already dead and Immediately
seized the man nearest him, who, however
was prepared and at once fred shot into
the breasi of the bear.
The first shot seemed rather to increase
his fury, and it was necessary to repeat the
shots several times before his holt was re-
laxed, by which time the bears new antag

wounded. His two companions, for the

having been fearful before of shooting the

the house and properly cared for, but twas

ArExas CATTLE RANCH.
How Banker Became a Successful CattIe
Raiser. II s -


The finest ranch in Texas, and that means
The finest in the world belongs to Charley
Goodnight. II lies about the centre of thu
Panhandle, ON the head waters of the Rec
River. Here are 700, 600 acres surrounded by
$50 miles of barbed wire fence, with the
best grass and water and shelter in oil Tie
country. Col. Richard King, down in the
southeastern corner of the state, near Cor.
pus Christi, has more cattle than Mr..
Goodnight, but his range is not so largo.
aud the grass is not so good for beef
Mr.. Goodnight has improved his cattle
by the importation of the best foreign
breed, and in the market, for beef or stock
ing new. ranches, his steers and cows bring
from ten to fifteen per cent. better prices
than those of any other ranchman in the
State. His range of 100000 acres wes
bought within the last three years at prices
varying from so cents to 81 per acre, and
could be sold for double that money to-day.
Considering that there are but 87s 900 acres.
in the State of Rhode Island, it will be
realized that Mr.. Goodnight possesses what
the cowmen call "quite little spot o.
land.
The experience of Mr.. Goodnight has
been quite remarkable, but no more so than
that of many of his neighbors. He was
once before q wealthy man in the banking
business in Pueblo, Col, but invested toe
largely in town lots, and the depression
that followed the panic of 1873 ruined him.
During his prosperous days he had given
his wife small herd of cattle, aud her pin
money came from beef. When he failed In
1876 he found himself penniless, but he
had his wife's cattle TO fall back upon, and
drove them down from Pueblo into the
Panhandle of Texas, where thoy could get
free range, and he could repair his shatter-
ed health by outdoor exercise. At that time
the Panhandle was o terra incogaita and
Goodnight is entitled to the glory of discov
ring its resources. His foresight taught
aim that tho day would come when the
land that was then as cheap rs dirt would
have value, and going back to Pueblo he
prevailed upon John Adair, an Irish mill
lionaire, whose Colorado agent Goodnight
had been, to loan him the money to pur.
chase land and more cattle.
The result was partnership arrange
ment, under which Adair furnished the
funds, and gave Goodnight third interest
in the investment. Although it was but sew

THE BIG SPECIALISTS.

One curse of our age is that Of lawyers.
The expense of lawsuits has now to be
added to the cost of living by almost every
man who can get his head above labor.
The rewards of some of these lawyers are
extraordinary, and the number of them is
immense. Tie doctors frequently bring
quits for their fees and the city is filed
with what are called specialists one
man not pretending to know anything but
about your ear, another TO have no vision
beyond your nose, and third merely to
deal with your baldnefs BY having con.
tracted their knowledge Il the human sys
tenn they feel called upon to extend the fee
they are to receive. The man who only
knows about your skin expects you to pay
him 81 900 if you have ring worm, while
his father before him, who as well knew
about your skin as what was inside Of 1t,
charged you 81 or $2 visit. High prices
seem to be the result Of notoriety in COM
fort-seeking age. They have just brought

GOLD IN AUSTRALIA,
The BaIlnrt Mine--Ths Terrible Tale of Oh .
Diggings.

Gold costs good deal. So thought to-
day when was sinking into a narrow grave,
little more than yard square, 500 feet into
the earth. For their eight hours daily
toll in this Hides each miner obtains 81, 10,
sum whose smallness amazed me. The
Ballart Mine is owned by company which
toiled for some years without much result
on ground where the first discoveries had
found much gold few feet deep. They
sunk shaft very far down, they battled
with flood and sand six years before they
reached success-$5, 900 per day. Now, at
the end OF twenty-five years, the company
can count over $3.50, 600, 900 rs its gains.
And yet the mud and CRIME of it, the SUBJ
terranean slime and cold the unsunned ex.
istences passed in digging down there, com.
bined into symbol of the quantity of dirt
darkness, drudgery and unhappiness,
through which, in America as well as Bal
larat, many must pass before gold can be
piled up! That serpent on the English
sovereign must eat the dust all its days.
SO far as / can learn comparatively few
OF the great fortunes of Australia have been
built up on gold mines As we drove
through Ballarat many houses were pointed
out far sunken in the earth by reason of the
excavations beneath them and the wealth
excavated appears to have largely rested on
similarly insecure foundation. In old
German folklore it is said that they who
would dig successfully for hid treasure must
work in silence and fulfill certain formulas
demanded by fatal guardians of such things
"a single word, a neglected form. being
enough to bring not only failure but danger.
The real conditions Of wealth are not less
stern than the legendary. They are not to
be met by riding horses shod with gold.
though that made one Cameron famous in
1856. Few of the diggers could have full
filled all the dread conditions OF obtaining
riches, failure in the least OF which may
turn fine ores TO DEVILS dust, or to chains

legends haunting these Australian gold
fields which sometimes sound as if invented
by some sage to teach the vanity of mere
luck. A poor wretch finds a thousand

THE OYSTERS ENEMIES.

The oyster, although protected by a very
hard shell that can be closed almost her
medically, is ON the whole rather poorly de-
Tended, for there he lies right out on the
open bottom exposed to everything that
may chance to come along having no power
to move away and crawl into some crevice,
but destined to remain motionless while at
tackled Two kinds of animals do the most
of the ravages, one the common starfish
(Asterias Forbesi), the other a univalye shell

and then bends its five arms around the
shell. The mouth of the starfsh is very
small and it is doubtful if an oyster quar-
ter of an inch long could be taken inside of
it. SO what does it do when its arms are
encircled around the large oyster, but to
begin TO project its stomach out of its mouth
and surround the oyster with the stomach
entirely outside Of the body. Then the
oyster gradually opens its shell, leaving the
starfisll TO do as it pleases. After some time
the star moves Of. and we see that the soft
part of the oyster is entirely gone nothing
left but the two wide open shells. When
the stomach is first protnrled liquid is Sc
GREETED which seems TO have the power OF
either killing or weakening the oyster. Just
as soon as the shells are open digestion is
begun by the starfish, and after time the
oyster ia entirely digested and absorbed.
Before long another is attacked in the same
way, and in the same manner is destroyed,
and so it goes ON day after day, thousands
operating in the same silent, mysterious
manner.

The Florida Everglades.

correspondent of the Boston Journal
says of the Florida Everglades :" If he
deserves praise who makes two blades OF
grass grow where one WAS BEFORE what
shall be said of the men who bring as by a
new creation territory larger than some
Of the States from beneath the waters ?
Strongest of all is that this presidential
swamp, this breeder of fever and home Of
the alligator and rattlesnake, is in fact a
perfect sanitarium, swept by fresh and con-
slant breezes, the thermometer never rising
above 96 deg. in the shade, and in a gang
of $50 men employed in the swamp con-
stantly two years not a case of serious sick
uess has occurred.
