Barbarous Remnant of the Past.

The bull-fghts are barbarous rem
nant of the past, and yet Spain would
not be Spain without them. They con-
stitute competition of courage and of
skill, and predispose the people to war
fare and to the undertaking of danger
Gus enterprises.
Every man likes danger. Elsewhere
in Europe and in the United States the
people crowd to see the lion tanner in
the cages of the wild beasts. and the
acrobats who fly from one trapeze to
another hundreds of feet above their
heads. To use the words of Spanish
apologist of these bull-fghts: "If you
take away all danger, you will deprive
yourself Of all excitement, all strife,
all poetry and drama; in fact, of every
thing that goes to make life bearable."

TOrturing the Sick.

A living scorpion is dropped into q
wide-necked glass bottle which con-
tains few drops of olive oil of the
finest quality, says the London Society
in an article on amateur medical treat
ment in Italy. More oil is poured on
instantly until the bottle is filled and
the scorpion dead. In its struggles to
free itself it elects all its poison into
the oil, and this poisoned oil forms
sovereign remedy for the sting of
scorpion. There is no doubt as to its
efficacy, and it is probably q remedy
which homeopathists would indorse on
very rational grounds. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether they or any other men
would approve of the application of the
comb" as practiced in Lombardy
and the Venetian provinces. This
remedy is highly unique, and reflects
honor upon the or ginality of the brain
which first conceived it. 1t is applied
for chronic dyspepsia and acute inter-
nal inflammation of all kinds; the
readers imagination may fill the blank
and need hesitate at none of the evils
common to man or woman. The suffer-
er is laid upon bed and firmly
held by the assistants-ten of whom

smolder until the tow is reduced to
ashes. Chloroform and ether being
either unknown to or mortally dreaded
by the italian peasants the agony en-
dured by the wretched beings to whom
the "comb" is applied may better be
imagined than described. It is said
that the screams of persons subjected
to this torture are audible sometimes
at distance of two miles. But sound
travels far on these vast, tranquil plains.
The comb is also applied in the Tus.

with raw silk, but OF this L am not
quite sure.

Some Remarks About Monuments.

although Mary, the mother of
Washington, is still waiting for O monu-
ment," said Kentuckian, thanks to
the fact that she is depending on gov
ernmental action, Nancy, the mother
of Lincoln, has already secured very
handsome monument, thanks to the
munificence of an Indiana wagon
maker. His firm makes more wagons
than any other firm in the world, and
naturally he has made great deal OF
money. Several thousand of his dollars
he has expended in simple but beau
tiful shaft out in the woods near Lin
coin City, Ind, on the spot where
Nancy Lincoln was born. The old
shanty in which she was born has long
since passed away. If it were not for
the monument no one would remember
it. BY the way" he said, "you know,

Blackburns father-in-law, old DIR.

of one hundred, who established the
legitimacy of Abraham Lincoln in an
affidavit which is on file somewhere

coins mother was erected. NO one
would ever think of erecting monu-
ment to Lincoln's father. He was a
type of the low-down, no-account, poor
white trash of that poverty-stricken
region. / reckon he killed his first
wife by hardship and privation-not
but what he loved her in his dull, rude
way, but he was shiftless to the core,
worthless, lazy, impractical, and gen.
orally ne'er-do-well. He deceived his
second wife-who was really the only
mother Abraham Lincoln ever knew
into the belief that he was man of
parts, if not of property, or she would
not have married him. But when she
found out her mistake she never muir
INJURED nor complained. She stood right
by him to the bitter end. She brought
out the good that his own mother had
put in Abraham. She was his best
friend, and did more for him than any
one else in the world. Yet she has no
monument. Somehow the monuments
are not equally distributed. Wash
