BulI-Fightine An Yucatan.

On the sth of December the festival of Our
Lady of lanai is celebrated with great pomp.
After church service is over, all leave in a
hurry and rush to the bull-fght. Many ofthe
Indians, who know absolutely nothing about
fdTomdchy, enter the ring to fight the bull.
exposing themselves 20 be injured for life, or
die painful death. In this we see an ancient
custom yet prevalent. The ancients sacrificed
their lives TO deities for any benefit received.
To-day, an Indian begs favor Of his patron
saint, and as proof of his deep gratitude
promises to fight bull, keep drunk a certain
number of days or do some other, rash thing.
Bull-hghting in Iucatan is not like bull-fght-
ing In Spain. The ring is double palisade sus
tanning sheds covered with palm leaves, that
are divided into boxes. Every one provides his
own seat. The best and the worst, big and
small attend the bull-fght. Those who, on
foot, merely play with the bull only have
henequen sack to serve as q shield, also others
on foot, are provided with poles about three
ieer long, having sharp iron head, called
r:loH. When the people are tired of seeing
the bull played with, they call for the rejoneroS.
Those with the spears described then come
forward. There business is to strike the bull
in the nape and kill it, but it is seldom at
once. The beast is chased by two or three
men, blow after blow is dealt, the blood gush-
ing afresh each time. The first pain makes
the animal furious, but the loss of blood soon
weakens it and it become harmless. Then
the horsemen are called to lasso it and drag
It away. While another bull is being
fetched rockets are fired, the people applaud,
the band plays, a clown meanwhile doing his
best to smuse the spectators. If bull is
to fight, they grid his body with
ropes in Ievery possible way, fastening fire.
crackers about his head and tail. Aggravated
and tortured the poor beast jumps about and
the crackers explode, to the great delight of
all present, big and small. This renders it fu-
rious for few minutes; but if it again refuses
to fight, it is again taken away as a coward
not worth killing.-RHper's Magazine.

For Lor. osn L,.tI. CHA.

In pottery factory in Cincinnati there is a
workman who had one small invalid child at
home. he wrought at his trade with e1-
euplaTy fidelity, being always in the shop
with the opening of the day. He managed,
however, to bear each evening to the bedside
of his "wee lad" as he called him, flower,
a bit OF ribbon or fragment Of crimson glass
indeed anything that would lie out on the
white counterpane and give a color to the
room. BE was quiet, unsentimental man,
but never went home at night without some
thing that would make the wan face light up
with JOY at his return. He never said to a
living soul that he loved that boy so much.
Still he went on patiently loving him. Aud
by and By he moved that whole shop into
positively real, but unconscious, fellowship
with him. The workmen made curious little
jars and cups upon wheels, and painted
diminutive pictures down their sides before
they stuck them in the corners of the kiln at
burning time. One brought some fruit in the
bulge of his apron and another engraTings in
a rude sCrap-book. Not one Of them Whisper
ed word, for this solemn thing was not to be
talked about. They put them in the old mans

The consequence of this excessive pro
duction of sweets in modern times. is, of
course, that we have begun to distrust the
indications afforded us by the sense of
taste in this particular as to the whole
someness Of various objects. We can mix
sugar with anything we like, whether it
had sugar in it to begin with or otherwise,
and by sweetening and hayoring we can
give false palatableness to even the
worst and most indigestible rubbish, such
as plaster of paris, largely sold under the
name of sugared almonds to the ingenu-
Gus youth of two henispheres. But in
untouched nature the test rarely or never
fails. As long as fruits are unripe and
unit for human food, they are green and
sour as soon as they ripen they become
soft and sweet, and usually acquire some
bright color a sort Of advertisement of
their edibility. In the main, bar the acct
dents Of civilization, whatever is sweet Is
good to eat-nsy mere, is meant to be
eaten 1t is only our own perverse folly
that makes us sometimes think all nice
things bad for us, and all wholesome
things nasty. In state Of nature, the
exact opposite IS. really the case. One
may observe, too, that children. who are
literally young sayages in more senses
than one, stand nearer to the primitive
feeling in this respect than grown-up PEG

Rat ExterminAtor.

A writer in the Scientific American SAYS:
I'VE clean our premises of the detestable
vermin, rats, by making whitewash yellow
with copperas and covering the stones and
rafters with it. In every crevice in which a
rat may 60, We put the crystals Of copperas
and scatter in the corners of the floor. The
result was perfect stampede ofrats and mice.
Since that time not football of either rats or
mice has been heard around the house. Every
spring coat of yellow wash is given the
cellar as purifier, as rat exterminator, and
no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the
family. Many persons deliberately invite all the
rats in the neighborhood, by leaving the fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the cellar, and
sometimes even the soap is left open for their
regalement. Cover up everything eatable in
the cellar and pantry, and you will soon starve
them out. These precautions Joined to the
service of good cat will prove as good rat
e1terminator as the chemist can provide. We
never allow rats to be poisoned in our dwell
ing. They are SO apt to die between the walls
and produce much ANNOYANCE

CONCERNING Taste. and F1avOr..

Sweets aud bitters are really almost the only
tastes proper, almost the only ones discrimin-
ated by the central and truly gustatory region
OF the tongue and palate. Most so-called ia
workings will be found, on strict examination,
to be nothing more than mixtures with those
OF certain smells, or else of pungeut, salty or
alkaline matters, distinguished as such by
the tip of the tongue. For instance, para
doxical as it sounds to say SO, cinnamon has
really no taste at all, but only smell, No
body will ever believe this on first hearing,
but nothing on earth is easier than 10 put it to
the test. Take small piece of cinnamon,
hold your nose tightly, rather high up, be-
tween the thumb and finger, and begin chew
ing it. You will find that it is absolutely
tasteless; you are merely chewing perfectly
insipid bit Of bark. Then let 60 your nose,
and you will find Immediately that it "tastes''
strongly, though in reality it is only the per-
tune from it that you now permit to rise into
the smelling-chamber in the nose So, again,
cloves have only pungent taste and pecu-
liar smell, and the same Is the case more or
less with almost all distinctive Havorings.
When you come to find Of what they are made
up, they consist generally of sweets or bitters,
lntermixed with certain ETHEREAL perfumes, or
with pungent or acid tastes, or with both or
several such together. In this way a com
paratively small number Of original elements,
variously combined, suffice to make d the
whole enormous mass of recognizably different
tastes and iavors.-CornhM Magazine.

UnAslisvsr.' Hymns.

A singular fact about hymnology is that
many excellent hymns have been written
by men who were either not religious at
all or whose claims to religion rested on
very slight foundations. Addison was
never celebrated for the depth of his piety,
but two of the best hymns in the language
are accredited to him, The Spacious Fir
mament on High" and when All Thy
Mercies, Oh My God" Moore was not
quite as noted for the depth of his relg-
ious feelings as was Addison, but the
finest lyric of religious character to be
found in English or any other tongue,
Come Ye Disconsolate,n was from his
pen, and has given more comfort to thou
sands than perhaps it ever did to its author.
The celebrated hymn, Come, Thou Fount
of Every Blessing" was written by an
irreligious man, while Pope's Vital Spark
of Heavenly Flame" was translation of
pagan poem said to have been written
by the Emperor Hadrian. AL these were

work for him, put it on the sanded plank TO

So, when the bell tolled, and the little coffin
came out of the lowly door, right around the
corner, out of sight, there stood 100 stalwart
workngmen from the pottery with their clean
clothes on, most of whom gave a half DAYS
time for the privilege of taking part in the
simple procession, and following to the grave

not one had ever seen.-.Sdn Jose Times Ns7-
