A REVOLVING SIGHT.
Illicit Bull Fighting in the Southern Part
of france.

of France.
Bull fighting in France has recovered
from the check that it received few
years since when a minister of the in
terror, moved by an cutlery caused by
some courses de taureauX at Mines, ex-
ceptionally revolving and sangulnary
in character, placed his veto on all
such exhibitions carried on in the
Spanish style. No bulls We're in future
to be killed in public, and no horses
were to be brought into the arena. The
courses provencales and the courses
We're looked upon as national games
of agility free from the blemish of
cruelty. They are cruel sometimes. but
only to the persons who enter the
arena. The bulls of the Camargue and
the wicked" cows of the Landes real
~ seem to get good deal of sport out
of these trials of skill and agility, and
while they sometimes infiict serious
damage upon the human players they
run no risk of any themselves. The ex.
hibition of 1889 caused the interdict
upon the Spanish bull fight to be
partially raised. The government
wished to do its utmost to tickle the
curiosity of visitors and to humor all
tastes. Sham bull fighting was
tolerated. We mad real bulls,
real Spaniards and real horses in
the arena, but the bulls had their
horns padded. Enboldened by the grow

the people in the south have been
gradually reviving the genuine courses

and the gay picador have been jauntily
crossing the Pyrenees to exhibit their
skill and prowess at local fetes on
French territory.
The recent high doings at Mont de
Marsan, where six bulls were killed
and twenty horses ripped open. have
caused some commotion in Paris among
those who have pity for the brute crea-
ton. The project of the landes has
been blamed for being present at the
revolving spectacle and the government
has been urged to take steps that will
render the repetition of such scenes Inn
possible.-Chicago Herald.

TERRA DEL FUEGO.
Striking Differences Between the TrIl
Living In That Region.

Striking Differences Between the Tribes
Living In That Region.
Messrs. Rousson and Willems. the
latest explorers to describe Terra del
Fuego, recently arranged in the museum
of natural history in Paris their
splendid collection illustrating the eth
nology and natural history of that part
of South America. Most of the hun
dreds of articles which they are ex-
hibiting were obtained in the eastern
part of Terra del Fuego. and they sup
plement in very satisfactory way the
rich collections that were made eight
years ago by the Cape Horn mission in
the western and southern parts OF the
island.
The striking contrast between these
regions is well shown by the differ
ences in the collections brought from
them. One highly interesting fact
seems to have been conclusively proven
by recent studies of Terra del FuegO
1t is nov believed that the Onas, who
inhabit the plateaus of north and east
Terra del Fuego. are nothing more or
less than Patagonians who crossed the
straits of Magellan probably as early
as the discovery of the western world.
They are very different, both in
language, manners and physical char
acteristics from the Fuegans who
to-day inhabit the southern and
western part of the archipelago. The
Fuegans are divided into two tribes,
the Alalalufs in the west and the
Yahgans in the south. It is believed
these tribes are the scanty remnant of
an ancient American race to-day almost
extinct. which formerly peopied a large
part of South America, almost to the
Amazon.
The skeletons of the Onas and the
Yahgans shown in the Paris museum
indicate striking differences in their
phvsiognomy. The Onas, like the Pat
agonians, arc among the taliest people
in the world, while both tribes of the
Fuegans are only of medium height.
The Onas also differ from their neigh
bors in the form of the head, face. nose
and other physical characteristics.
There is not so much difference in the
handiwork of the three tribes except in
variety and quantity. The Iahgans,
probably the lowest in the scale OF
civilizat ion of all American tri bes, have
neither the bow and arrows nor the
skin clothing which are found among
the Onas and the Alalsalufs. Among
these two last peoples the differences
in their rude manufactures are still less
noticea BILE, and it is evident that the
two Fuegian tribes have derived what
little culture they possess from the
OnaS.
1t is worth observing that the topog-
raphy of the regions occupied by the
Onas and the Fuegan tribes is also
strikingly different. The Onas inhab-
it large plains or pampas where almost
no timber is found, but through which
rivers have cut deep gorges. South of
this region comes n rolling and wooded
territory. where impetuous rivers roar
through the forests to the sea. Then
further south and west are the regions
of lofty and snowclad mountains
Southern Terra del Fuego is abundant
~ supplied with rain. while rain sell
dom falls in the northeastern and com
paratively level portions of the country.

VISITING UNCLE REUBEN.
How Freddie and Susie Took 9 Ride on
IeeberO.


How Freddie and Susie Took 9 Ride on an
Iceberg.
Freddie has an uncle who is an officer
on one of the United States revenue
cutters which protect the seal fisheries
away up in Alaska. He often thinks of
him. but especially during the hot sum
| mer days does he remember what his
uncle has told him about the great ice
| bergs and vast plains of snow in the
far northern country.
Last summer, while he and Sue were
trying to amuse themselves, one of the
hottest days in July. he recalled his
| uncle's stories, and said:
''Susie, it's SO terribly hot. Let's play
something frozen or northern. I'll tell
you what let's play; let's take trip to
Alaska and pay Uncle Reuben visit. "
Yes" said Sue; wouldn't he be
s'prised. thought
''He wouldn't be any more surprised
than we would glad to sit down on an
iceberg for little WHILE" said Fred.
Just then they turned the corner Of the
house as an ice-wagon was leaving; and
there on the pavement lay block of
the clearest ice.
Why" said Freddie, quickly. ''we've
got here while we were talking about
it. and there is an iceberg right before
u.s.
but don't see Uncle Reuben any
where" put in Sue, whose imagina ton
had carried her right to the spot where
her uncle ought to be.
''Oh, never mind. Take seat on this
cool iceberg, and he'll be around pretty
soon
So they both sat down, their feet
dangling above the pavement, and fam
ned themselves, as l presume people
would not have to do who were sitting
on an iceberg in Alaska. Presently they
thought they felt themselves moving a
wee bit.
''It's going to slip warmed Sue, try
ing to get her feet down to the pave
ment.
Never mind assured Freddie;
''icebergs often do that way. Let's stay
on and ride"
And sure enough, the next minute
it did slip pretty fast. The pavement
on the alley was steep, and the ice had
thawed enough on the under side to
wet it and make the stones almost as
smooth as glass. Down they glided to-
ward the street as though they were
coasting in winter.
I'm going to jump" cried Susie in
alarm. But when she tried to rise she
found that her skirt bad frozen fast to
the block of ice. Freddie was stuck
just as tightly as she. But he put on a
drawer face and said:
''OIi. never mind: guess that is the
way icebcrgs do in Alaska. anyway.
Put your arms around me and you'll
fall on top when we strike the curb
stOne.
What would have been the result had
they struck the curbstone. at the rate
at which they We're going. is hard to
say. Mamma happened 20 glance out
of the side window in time to see them
dart past. and sprang toward the door
with scream. She would not have
been in time. but Toney. the washer
woman's boy, was coming past with
the clothes just then, and he was SO
much surprised that he dropped the
fall basket right in front of them, and
and Fred tumbled off into it with Susie
on top. And they stayed away from
Alaska and let strange icebergs alone
after that.-Sunshine.

milk the COW?
'.I'il lead her in from the meadow,

'I'il milk her. said papa.
''And well look on, said mamma and

So Myo brought the COW into the
yard and held her by the chain. and
papa brought out the three-legged stool
and the tin pail and began TO milk; but
the mosquitoes were SO troublesome
that Bossy kept switching her tail

papa TO mamma.
.'Oh, | can't" said mamma.
''Oh, yes, you can," said papa.
Mamma wore a very large aprnns~so
she took it up in her hands ard with it
held the tail fast.
Little Marie felt sorry for poor Bossy
and thought she would drive the mos
quitoes away with her sun-bonnet, but
Bossy did not understand. and thought
she was being driven, and 50 away she
started.
She kicked the pail of milk over on
pap S shining boots. and off she went.
Myo held fast to the chain and mann
ma held fast to the tail. but Bossy was
stronger than both of them, and pulled
them along faster than they cared to
go. At last mamma gave up trying to
hold the cow back, and dropped the
tail, while Myo AID Bossy went on
around the barn.
Papa still sat on the stool. spattered
with milk and laughing as hard as he
could. Mamma came back laughing so
that the tears ran down her face.
''Oh. shall die" she gasped as she
sank down on the wheel-ba ROW.
Little Marie looked very sober at
these words. and crept close to poor
mamma, and frowned at papa, who
laughed so hard when mamma was go
ing to die.
Just then Myo and Bossy came round
the barn. Myo still bravely tugging at
the chain: and now the milking was
safely finished, but mamma and Marie
let Bossy manage the mosquitoes her.
