rents to Portugal. When she was seven
teen an impresario. struck with her size
and beauty. offered to train her as re-
male bull-fghter. The agent sent MS
pupil, who is not yet twenty, to COM
pete at the show of female beauty, which
took place last spring at Lisbon, where
she carried off the first prize. The ad'
vertisement proved an excellent one, ion
ever since the impresario has been bonn,

ment of the two states. Already the
water power of one of these wells has
been utilized to some extent and the
possibilities in this direction are not

The consumption of horse flesh in
Europe is increasing at such a rapid
rate as to indicate that it will in time
become a popular article of food.
Nearly 10000 horses were consumed
for food in Paris last year, as against
6,773 in 1881. In Vienna there were
1000 consumed, and about the same
aumber in Berlin. The only thing
that stands in the way of the growth
of the European taste for horse flesh is
the cost of horses. Only old and
broken down horses can be used with
profit for such purpose, and they are
not inviting to the palate.

A SONG OF HOME.

Across the wide lands as n pilgrim | roam
Alone, and n stranger fare,
But wherever wander my heart is at home,
With the ones that remember me there.
The flowers bloom sweetly along these wild
dells,
And the mountains rise rugged and grand,
And the low Sabbath sound of the far away
bells
Melts tenderly over the land.
And the western skies wait for the soft after.
glow,
Eve never closed lovelier day
But my soul looks beyond, and my eyes they
o'erfow,
For my heart is at home far away.
You may MARBLE, sweet birds, to the red
evening skies,
Yet your vesper song dies on my ear.
For deep in my spirit the memories rise -
Of the far-away voices more dear.
You may babbe, pure brook. in your soft
monotone,
You may purl to the pebbles you love.
You may kiss the green moss as il clasps the
gray stone,
But my thoughts to deeper pulse move.
Hark bark now hear them, hear the
old words,
Familiar and sweet, light and gay
Nay, nay, but dream, It's the song of the
birds
But my heart is ut home far away.
The western skies darken, the stars brighten
forth.
The wild flowers droop, the night comes,
The birds hurry home to their nests south
and north
All happy things, cling to your homes
The lights of the city are dawning in view,
l return through the gay, thought,ess
throngs,
From happy home windows bright faces
smile through,
And hear children's laughter and songs.
Newfri. nds give me welcome, with greetings
of cheer,
laugh and seem to be gay,
But memory grieves in the thoughts inner
ear,
And my heart is at home far away.
