A Bull-Fighter's Mother.

The funeral OF the mother of the
famous Spanish bull-fghter Frascuelo,
which took place a day or two ago,
has been quite one of the sights Of
Madrid. The old lady who passed her
life in constant anxiety about her
daring son, died while he was killing
six bulls in the arena. Frascuelo
worshipped her and had her buried in
Princely state. The lead coffin, richly
decorated with ornaments of gold,
was carried to the hearse by four of
his comrades, eight black horses drew
the char .Jtmebrs, ard behind it,
together with Frascuelo, walked all the
most famous bull-fghters Of the town;
loo carriages followed, and a large
crowd of persons belonging to all
classes joined the procession.-Psn

4 Toad Tackles q Snake.

II once saw something when q
small boy" said an old stager yester-
day, "that L never heard Of since, and
that was toad attack a snake, after
the latter had been forced TO let go his
hold. 1t was in q blacksmith shop
built of logs in Indiana county. The
blacksmith was working at his anvil
when squeahng sound was heard at
one side of the shop which attracted
attention.
Turning to look, the blacksmith
and the narrator saw large toad drag
ging himself into the inclosure, with q
fifteen-inch garter snake following.
This snake had the hind leg of q toad
swallowed. With pair of hot tongs
the blacksmith caught the snake, which
released its hold as quickly as possible.
Instead of hopping away, as was to be
expected, the toad turned itself around
and, leaping six inches high in the air,
came down on the body Of the snake
and bit It savagely."

the mush was of wheat steamed for
hours the day before and heated
through for breakfast. Then came

the whole cooked gently but thorough

1t took about an hour to get this
breakfast, less rather than more. The
table was perfectly set, the table cloth
was clean and not awry. nor the table.
There was no jumping up to get some

above the domain of drudgery. This
young lady leaves the dinner-tsble hav-
ing graf fed every normal appetite of
herself and family with savory food of
her own cooking, and plays airs from
the great masters to charm the hour
spent by other members of the family
in cleaning away and putting kitchen
and dIning-room in perfect order. This
last work Is likewise done in an artistic
spirit, and the kitchen is as attractive
In its way as the parlor. Why should
it not be? Every thing is clean. every

PECULIAR INFATUATIoN.

Intnncrion alive Cne Another.

Do men ever fall in love with each
otnar?
Women do. Not long ago a younF
~oman IN New Jersey was married to n
youthful laborer on her fathers farm.
Sometime afterward it WAS discovered
that the husband was female; the
young wife refused, however, though
earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort- The
strangest part of the discovery was the
fact that the bride knew her husband
was O woman before she was led to the
altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange in
fatuation for one of their own sex, they
at least oftentImes give evidence of the
fact that they love one another. There
are many instances on record where
one man has given his life for another.
There are many more instances where
uen have given life to another.
1t is q proud possession-the knowl-
edge that one has saved a precious hu-
man life Meriden, Conn, is the home
of such happy man. John h Preston,
of that city, July 1lth, 1890. writes:
Five years ago was taken very sick, 1
hal several of the best doctors, and

doctors, and truthfully state L never

Leather Ecd Toilet
lie Household Pet.

he Household Pet.
T2a- jroyelb-nOthing new
under IL . finds it refutation in
the canine toilet case, without which
no aristocratic dog in high life can be
truly fashionable. Dogs in high life
are given a bath once a week and a
shampoo daily. AS comb and brush
are deemed necessary to dress the
SKYE tresses, some wideawake person
has just put upon the market a set of
bristles and bone for doggie's own
precious self done up in q satin-lined
case with clasp and seal like the one
on Beauty's toilet stand. The comb Is
shown in shell, celuloid and bone, and
the brush is long and narrow, with a
kennel scene of some sort stamped on
the handle. Done up in leather boxes
prices range from s5 TO 81, while
leatherette, another name for paper,
can be had for half the money. What
Is known as something extra nice that
q man generally buys when sent on
the errand, because il is the first thing
offered, has a rubber comb trimmed
with silver and with the same plate
the brush Is bound. Set into the lid
of the box Is medallion head of some
prize dog, also in plate, or groove is
stamped out to receive en- tdglio the
portrait of the favored brute. The
firms that deal in furnishing goods for
dogs take orders for canoes and i'll
them, too, just as they provide for
having the animals teeth, ears or ills
attended TO.
Another innovation Is a pair of kid
socks into which Mr. Dogs hind feet
are put and securely gartered with
whatever colored ribbon Is most be-
coming to his complexion. These lit
tie brown stockings sell at so cents,
and are thought to be q restriction
when the pampered brute takes q mo-
ton 10 scratch himself bald.
Dog-collars are counted among the
staples in leather and jewelry stocks.
Some are as plain as a leather strap
and others rival the belts so much ad-
mired by lovers Of outing costumes.
For toy-terriers chain bracelets are
considered the proper style and the
young man who makes morning calls
and is received in the family sitting
room is just as likely to find the an
tique jewel OF smoked silver for which
he surrendered $40 clasped about the
neck of 22-ounce black and tan as the
slender wrist of the girl he adores.

cats arrived in this city recently on the

cured passage in drswing-room car,

Just before the train started, but sup
posed that she would Jump of
when the car began TO move. On
the contrary, the cat fastened her

when the train started, and during the

ton undisturbed by the whirlwind of
sand and gravel that would have

LOW Indigo 4. grown.

That portion of the Nicaragua who
Stretches 70 the northeast from th
shores of Lake Managua is known
one OF the best indigo grow distric
of the world. The climate Is coo p
than tina, of the PLAIN of Leon, and co,
tinues growing SO, as one graduail
ascends the grade until he finds nm
self on the plateau of Segovia, whe-
the days are always pleasant, and III
nights cold enough for fires.
Bot few leagues from Leon, o
every side of the trail and as far as the
eve can reach, a rich green under
grow b covers every cleared space.
which mu h resembles the tender
sprouts of the 'ocust tree, and is what
the natives call 'jiquilite. or the indl-
go plant.
In planting il, the richest soil is care
fully cleared and burned over, trenches
are dug two or three inches deep and
about a foot apart, into which the seed
is thrown and lightly covered with
earth. The planting Is done In May,
at the close of the dry season, and the
shrub is ready to be cut in August.
The young bushes have to be care
fully weeded to prevent any other
plants from springing up and mixing
with them, which would iniure the
quality of the indigo. About the mid
die of August the leaves present a
rough surface and appear as If covered
with a green sand, when the stalk Is
cut off by the gatherers q few inches
above the ground, leaving q few sprouts
remaining, which produce second
crop that is gathered about two months
later.
The first years result is usually
small, that of the second year much
greater and the third years is i'm
mense, after which the crop diminishes
again until the seventh year, when the
fields have again to be cleared and
planted.
The cut plants are tied in bundles,
like wheat In the United States, and
carried to the fermentation vat, where
enough water is allowed to run in to
cover it; then the swelling mass is
weighted down to steep and ferment-
The only skill required in the manu-
facture is to be able to check the fer
mentation at the proper moment, and
natives competent to do SO receive
from five to ten dollars per day. When
the solution of indigo has a peculiar
green color, it is drawn off into another
vat, where it is necessarily agitated
and beaten by revolving fans until it
changes from its original green color to
a dark blue, and the coloring matter
commences to preoipitate.
The water Is then drawn of, leaving
a granulated soft blue clay, which is
drained IN bags, then dried in the sun,
carefully selected as to quality, and
packed for export in packages of one
hundred and fifty pounds each, or
''ceroons.
Forty or fifty years ago Nicaragua
produced from nine thousand to ten
thousand "ceroons" of indigo per an
mum, but now it may be doubted if the
total annual product exceeds two thou
sand.
Most of the fine "haciendas" of the
high country are now commencing to
Craze cattle, and, though many still re-
main where labor is cheap, the indigo
farms are gradually disappearing, and
cattle, coffee and cacao fields are taking
their place.
