4 Female Bull Fighter.

The heroine of the hour just now in
Lisbon is German girl, Fraulein
Johanna Maestrick. Fraulein Maestrick
was born near Berlin, but went with he1
parents as child to Portugal When
she was II an ilnpresario, struck with
her size and beauty, offered to train hel
as female bull fighter. The agent
sent his pupil, who is not yet 90, to
compete at the show of female beauty
which took place at Lisbon, where she
carried off the first prize. The adver-
tisement proved an excellent one, for ever
since the impresa1io has been bombarded
with letters from persons of all classes,
wishing to know when the beautiful
"torera" is to make her debut.
She has not yet appeared in an arena,
but last week she came out in a trial
fight at Oporto. A huge crowd collected
to see the unusual sight. The young
lady quickly laid two bulls in the sand,
and rode off followed by band of music,
amid thunders of applause. Crowds of
people collected before the windows Of
the hotel at which the 'torera' was
staying, and far into the night she was
obliged to appear on the balcony in
response to their calls for her.-London

Care 81 Drawing Drinking Water.


From first to last the water supply
should be under the care of the head of
the household, and not trusted to serv-
ants. They will not take the trouble to
draw off the water the first thing in the
mornings that has been standing in pipes
all night to corrode lead pipes or absorb
sewer gas from adjacent waste pipes
which have the usual pinholes eaten
through them. Lead pipes will be eaten
away by water containing free oxygen
without carbonic acid; therefore pure
rain water injures lead pipes, says Capt.
Galton, and the infusion of lead in the
water standing over night is quite
enough to give the babies collie and re-
new the symptoms of the grip in the
elders of the family unless the stream is
allowed to run until it is cold and clear.
This water need not run to waste, but
may be saved in frkin for washing
uses. A supply of fresh drinking water
for the day should then be boiled in Il
bright tin lined or enameled kettle, for
the copper lined teakectles are only an
other of the deadly devices which abound
in housekeeping. Tea made from water
boiled in a copper lined kettle is cor
rosive infusion equal to upsetting the
digestion IN time, if it does not ruin the
vital economy altogether, like so much
arsenic. Dare in New York

They Are an Illustration of the Tenden-
cy OF the Times Toward Little
Waists and Weak Bodies.
Anyone who visits the art museums may be
struck with the fact that the feet Of all the
ancient statues seem very large They do seem
so, but 1t will be found that for symmetrical
perfection these feet could not be better and
vet the feet of the average man or woman to-
day are much smaller than in ancient times
One might naturally ask. Why is this? The
Rnsv er is not difficult. Modern customs and
fashion have contracted feet to their present
small proportions; shoes have taken the place
of sandals. Indeed, 1t is only one illustration
of many of what advanced civilization and
fashion do The waists of women in ancient
days were not so small as in the present age of
was better than in our present day of social
demands, household cares and hurried living
Women weaker than they once We're. They
feel depressed blue, weak and lnnguid, where
they were once bright, strong and active
such modern troubles require the most ad
yanced treatment and the best physicians and
most scientific authorities of the present day
most lives. 1t is significant fact, however, in
connection with this statement. that only pure
stimulants are ever OF value, while impure are
an actual harm.
The best and purest of all stmulants now
known to the public is Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey Il is indeed the only medicinal
whiskey known to the professions or the pub
far more popular Today than ever before in its

jealousies which merit always brings, and
hence when unscrupulOus dea ers offer any
other article they should be given to under

Cause the Collapse of a Grand
Stand.
Two Thousand People Precipi-
tated to the Ground.
Men, Women and Children in One
Struggling Mass.
Fifty or Sixty Severely Injured-A Sad
Mishap at the Yale-Princeton
Football Contest.
Associated Press Dispatches.

NEW YORK, Nov. pa terrible acci-
dent occurred at Eastern Park, Brook
lyn, before the Yale-Princeton football
game today. The big free stand on the
eastern side of the grounds suddenly
collapsed, carrying down the entire load
of human beings.
More than 1000 people were in the
structure at the time. The scene was
indescribable. Confusion and panic
followed the crash. The occupants were
mostly men, the great majority of them
students from Yale and Princeton.
There were also many women. They all
lay in struggling mass upon the
ground, many completely buried under
the wreckage. The screams and groans
were awful, and many tainted away from
the injuries they received.
In an instant there was a rush for that
part of the field, and score of police
men were engaged in pulling the manned
and wounded from the wreck; others
lent assistance, and within ten minutes
the whole place was cleared. At first it
was feared some were killed, but this
fear proved unfounded. great many,
however, were severely hurt, and broken
limbs and bruised heads and bodies are
numerous. Many of the injured were
carried away by their friends before
their names could be learned.
Among those whose names were
learned are: Charles Wilson, ankle dis
located; Cadets John A. Quillar and
Perrin Fancy, of the military institute
at Peekskill, backs badly sprained; E.
b. Remington, Princeton '93, leg
broken; a Yale man, name not learned,
conclusion of the spine; two Rutgers
college students, heads bruised and cut
John Monroe, Princeton, confusion of
the legs; S. G. Dunning, Princeton 81,
broken ankle; G. A. Wylie, thigh
broken; James McGlone, internal
injuries; E. S. Keller, Columbia '9l,
broken wrist; John Weed, Yale, injured
internally; Stephen p. Spear. Yale, arm
broken John Carruthers, Wesylan
university, badly cut head; Eldridge,
Princeton '04, both legs badly injured
Curley, '94, Princeton, conclusion of the
brain, very serious; Edward Moran,
Yale, leg broken Mexican, Princeton,
fractured leg; Bradley 1872, Princeton,
both legs badly hurt; H. w. Fuller,
scalp wound; George a. Johnson, con-
fusion OF the spine.
A lot OF boys, names not learned, who
stood upon the top row OF bleachers,
were badly bruised.
The only ladies hurt were five Brook
lyn women, whose names could not be
learned
The number of people injured is about
fifty to sixty. The stand was evidently
in most unsafe condition, for the
broken timbers showed that many of
them were rotten, while the whole
structure was the most fimsy affair i'm
aginable. Every one claimed that a
very superficial examination of the
structure would show that it was totally
insufficient to support the crowd which
would occupy it.

The Proper Weight.

Growth is very irregular in children
and young people generally. Perhaps
two inches may be gained in two
months, and for the next ten months
not another inch, even up to the age of
10 or IL years.
While growth is thus rapid fatigue is
readily reduced. During the pause
weight is gained, and work OF training
can 90 on again.
AS general rule a child in the fourth
year should be feet high, and weigh
more than 28 pounds; in the sixth year,
81 feet high. and weigh AZ pounds; in
the eighth year, 4 feet high and 56
pounds in weight; at 12 years old, feet

At the term of adolescence 29 pounds
should be added for gain of OF A

No Mans Land.

When one speaks of "No Mans Land"
we generally presume that he refers to
that little neck of land in the Indian
territory, lying between Colorado and
Kansas on the north and Texas on the
south. But such is not always the case.
The original "No Mans Land" is a little
tongue of land extending few miles
south of the Mason and Dixon line, be-
tween the states of Maryland and Della
ware. Every now and then somebody
starts the story that this tract is, prop
erly speaking, part of no state, literally
out of the jurisdiction of the United
States; that it is one of the left over
pieces of the whole country, wherein no
one owns the ground upon which he
lives. On the maps the ground is cred
tied to Pennsylvania, but, according to
these same authorities, the claim is a
shadowy one.
This triangular bit of territory was
marked off in curious way The east
ern boundary of Maryland was early de-
termined. but the southern boundary of
Pennsylvania was long matter Of dis
pute. Finally Mason and Dixon began
their work at the eastern boundary of
Maryland, and proceeded westward,
while the northern boundary of Delaware
was declared to be semi-circle, whose
center was New Castle. In surveying
the semi-circle it was found that the cir
cumference did not touch the boundary
of Maryland at its junction with the
Pennsylvania line, thus giving rise to
this triangular bit of land, which has
been discarded by the three states and
only allowed to attach itself to Pennsyl-
vania for judicial purposes.--St. Louis
Republic.
