CHRISTIAN CONSCIOUSNESS.

With all that has been said upon this sub
iect. there is much in the popular sentiment
! that indicates a want Of It on the pa OF
many who bear the Christian name as re-
vealed in the line OF Dr. Andersons article
in fba Religious Herald Of May b upon

A Spanish Bull Fight.

e arrived at Madrid on time for
br fight, writes Mrs. Sherwood in the
n York World. The first sight of the
CT yded circus, the grand Coliseum,
q thousands of spectators, the music,
th flags, is all very inspiring. The
ep -ance of two cavaliers on horseback
w j their hats and collars la Yelasquez
is extremely pretty. They ride round
the ring, and crying to the Governor,
thsy demand of him the key to the cell
where the bull is kept. This is sent
down by a parsonage in gaudy attire.
Then the trumpets are sounded, and
the picadores, matadores and torreadors
enter, two and two, in their beautiful
dresses-one of the most picturesque
groups possible. Then come the mules,
gayly caprisoned, who are to drag out
the bulls and dead horses. The plea
dores, on their sorry steeds, not unlike
Rosinante, are then placed at intervals
along the sides, while the men adj
vance with a moreturi te salutant air
and bow to the Governor. 1t is all very
gladiatorial, very pretty, quite touching.
Thea the trumpets sound and the gentle
man with the key advances to the cell
ion which have been issuing ominous
groans and bellowings. The door is
opened; the men jump over the wall.
The bull enters.
~ magnificent creature, fresh from
1zs-ila pastures,-az,d- his surprise as
he So ped and looked around was most
innocent and touching, and babylike.
My heart was for him from the first.
Then the matadores began to brighten
and enrage him by throwing their red
shawls at him and putting arrows in his
back. Then the cruel sport of sending
the picadores at him. He disembowoled
the poor horses; we saw three left dead
on the sand. Finally the Grand Tor
reader arrived, and we saw him really
perform some acts of desperate courage
with the crazy, enraged animal, whom
he kills with his sword. BY this time
we were too sick and faint to move, but
the populace was in raptures. ladies
threw their handkerchiefs to the hand
some torreador, who wrapped himself In
his cloak and smoked a cigarette Then
the mules came in and dragged out the
dead horses and the poor dead bull.
Then the doors opened again, and a
bull so beautiful that he might be he
who carried off Europa mouse-colored
bull, perfectly full of anger and fight
was led into the arena. He was destined
TO be killed by Frascuelo, the darling of
Madrid, the prize bull-fghter, the man
who makes $50, 600 a year. We did not
stay to see this; we were dragged out,
almost as ANONYMOUSLY as the poor dead
horses and bull, and some of US have
been i'll ever since. But if you come to
sgH.a to see the people, the Institutions,

NJ wretched degradation of hu-
m&ity, but throwing a light on the
po-erty, the cruelty and the lack of

stand at the head of European civiliza-
ton, but who stand at the very foot of it,
so far as the lower classes are concerned.

Breaking Stones on a Man,s Head.

There is a live novelty in an uptown
dime museum that is attracting general
attention. This ''drawing card" is q
man who glories in the exclusive posses
sion Of the power to let imTenssA- eabble
st6hes be broken on his head. The Gus
tomary grain of salt does not accompany
this museum statement. The man is as
large as ifc and as plain to the sight as
day-if the established admission fee is
paid. While doing his act" he wears a
large but frailly constructed helmet of
iroa. This is a sixteenth of an inch in
thickness and IS placed over his head, the
base or lowest extremity resting on his
shoulders. There is an opening for the
eyes and nose. On the top is a square
groove in lyhich an ordinary cobble stone
is tlaced. Then one Of the audience is
re. klested to break the stone. A com
m large sized sledge hammer is used
IL BE- work of destruction. The object
o Ae helmet is to offet the effect OF any
s that might miscarry and land about
theface or shoulders. The man shows
twelve times day, twelve new and per
feYtly constructed stones being used.
There is no cake" about the hammer,
the stones or the destroying blows. The I
enemy to the cobble told reporter for
the New York Mail and Express that he
first discovered that it was impossible to
break his skull when, on shipboard, he
fell from aloft to the deck, distance Of /
ITO feet. He landed, according to his
story, fiat on the top of his head, 6 I'd got
up smiling. This fall was the means of
putting him into any easy livelihood, he
says, and he has become so accustomed
to cobbles that he actually believes the
biggest steam pile driver of the land
would have a large contract on hand if it
attempted TO smash his upper quarters.

lance Worked OFF Yesterday.
For the first time in several weeks
the park commission was successful in
obtaining a quorum yesterday. and the
transaction of considerable business by
that important body resulted. There
were present Commissioners Stevens,
Newell. Ludden, Wedge and Van SIyke.
The minutes of five previous meetings
were read and approved, after which a
communication was read from w. ii.
Amos, protesting against the dilatory
action of the commission in having
failed to secure Lake Como for Orna-
mental purposes in connection with
the proposed boulevard. A resolution
passed at a recent meeting of the War
rendale Citizens union was also read,
eondemning the action of the commits
siOd i'll having failed to obtain posses
sion of certain properties adjacent to
the lake at the alleged reasonable prices
offered by the holders of said properties.
Both communications were placed on
file, and upon motion by Commits
siOner Stevens were referred to the at
torney of the board with instructions
that he report to the board at Its next
regular meeting whether in the prem
iSeS any further action can be legally
taken by the board.
Superintendent of Parks EsterbrOok
reported OH the matter of the proposed
Mississippi park boulevard, describing
the route and difficulties to be en-
cOuntered in construction. The report
was accepted. A resolution was passed
that the secretary discover and report
at the next meeting the present cOndi-
ton of the Mississippi boulevard. A
resolution was also passed referring
the matter of the Mississippi boule-
varde to the common council
with request for the issuance
of the usual preliminary orders to the
board of public works to acquire the
boulevard and avenue as shown the
submitted plan. Mr.. Daverne, who
owns a Triangular of land six acres
in extent, lying near the tavern at the
end of the Smelling bridge, was present
to explain to the board wherein the land
became necessary tor boulevard pur-
poses. Supt. EsterbroOk was Instructed
to send competent man to inspect the
stocks of various Eastern nurseries with
a view to the selection of suitable trees
for the Summit avenue boulevard. An

fatally it is found death was due moreto
complications which enSued through
improper treatment of the disease than
from the direct influence of the primary
affection. Fatal cases, however. have
been extremely rare. even in Poland
and European Russia, where during
the past sumner the disease has ragged
almost with the severity of a plague.
The greatest medical authorities of
Europe and America unite in acribing
the plague to the operations of a mi
crObe travelling in the atmosphere. By
local physicians the theory is adj
vanced, and an extremely tenable Oneit
appears to be, that the disease has been
prOpagated in America by the Polish
and Russian emigrants who are con-.
stantly arriving from the stronghold of
the scOurge, and mingling at once with
the people of crowded American cities.
For that matter, however, it is shown
on unquestiOnable authority, that i'm
earlier times q similar epidemic has
toured the world in a phenomenally
brief period completely covering every
populated country on the globe.
DR.. DOrion, of this city, who has per-
hapS devoted as much atten-
ton to the strange Infection
which has interested physicians
for centuries past, in speaking relative
to the origin and character of the So
called Ia grippe. said that there was
little or no danger of fatal result there
from. except in cases where the patient
was OF extreme age, Or had contracted.

ease may be similar, will call it by a
different name. One sufferer is told
that he is suffering from ca
tarrhal fever; another that he
has slight attack of bronchitis;
still another is informed that he has in
huenZa, and again others have inflam-
nation of the mucous lining. cholera
morbus, winter fever, ehills, and hun
dred other ills for which they are treat
ed, and eventually recover, as they
would have done in the ordinary course
OF events under any circumstances.
The rapidity, however, with which the
Infection mas spread about the city
within the past week, places beyond all
doubt the fact that the feYerS. chillS,
and catarrhal symptoms complained of
by so many people not subject to such,
are not to be ascribed to any of the dis
eases named by the local medicoS as re-
sponSible, but that La Grippe has begun
its work, and is bent on making
a clean sweep. As the term is
applied to the existing epidemic,
la grippe means influenza. Actually,
however, the phrase means Group. and
as explained by local physicians Group
and Influenza are of causes apart. The
latter disease, while extremely infec-
tious, is seldom of fatal termination. 1t
has been known to the medical profess
sion for the past five centuries. and its
recurrence in epidemic form has been
noted at more or less regular intervals
during the entire period named. Flint
says that the name influenza" is a term
introduced by Italian writer's on the sub
ject in the seventeenth century. He re-
fers to the fact that in France the disease
is known as la grippe, but offers no ex-
PLANTATION of the misapplication. In most
cases where the disease has terminated
