TAURINE PASTlMES.
Statistics Showing Their Number and

variety In Spain.
Judging from the taurine statistics,
bull-fghting is not decreasing in Spain.
"a Spanish merchant" writes Mad
rid correspondent, could bear the loss
Of his king with more resignation than
the abolition of his favorite sport, and
an Ibcrian republican would prefer his
'corrida de toros' (bull-fght) to any re-
public, even if granted three acres and

more pride than hard cash, will cheer
doing, he may secure his seat in the
bull ring. Maria and Juanita will
readily deny themselves for time
new dress rather than miss the excite
ment of the Plaza de Toros. Besides,
are not their raven black hair, blue
black eyes, ROSY lips (whcnce proceed
sparkling wit and lively rcpartee), their
small hands (which manipulate the fan
with such grace, and their tiny feet, on
which they glide, ali sufficient to at
tract glances of admiration? During
the present year the number of first
class bull fights in important cities has
been $50, the bulls killed being 1904.
There have also been 3O7 fights of
young bulls (novillos), in which l ,407
were slaughtered. OF the chief fights,
20 took place in Madrid, 10 in Seville, II
in Barcelona and II in Valencia. Two
men-picadors-wcre killed: of the es-
padas and bandcrillos 16 were more or
loss seriously wounded. In each course
from six to eight bulls are done to
death; but recently in Madrid, in a
eight which extended two days, IS We're
finished off. Many of the enthusiasts
judge the merit of the fight by the num-
Der Of the horses slain. On some days
-, or even more, are gored to death by
the long horns of the Spanish bulls.
The bull ring in Madrid holds $1,000
spectators, who are still apparently de-
lighted with the barbarous and hOrri-
bic spectacle, in which blood flows
plentifully, and aged or unsound horses
are disemboweled on the sandy arena"

At time when the Irish situation
seemed critical to the officials at Dublin,
in 1881 or 1882, a certain liberal peer was
delegated to go to IInwardcn and consult
with Gladstone. Upon his return his
friends received him with cagcrness.
"Wcn, what did he say; what policy did
he recommend" The peer blushed
slightly, hcsitated moment, and then
mildly remarked: "Well, to tell the

hanSaroos Killed by the Thousand, But
stan Plentiful in Some Places.
The kangaroo plague, says Hard
wicke's Science Gossip, has always been
u great nuisance to the Australian
squattcrs, for on an average these ami
mails consume as much grass as sheep.
u Is stated that on n sheep run of G., 900
to $4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, ond yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of kangaroos are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The num-
bcrS of these marsupialS in New South
Wales in 1859 was estimated to be over
1000, 900, and yet about 500, 900 kanga-
roos and 100000 wallabieS were de-
strOyed in the colony in that year. A
bonus of sixteen cents for each kanga-
roo killed is offered in Australia; hence
the colonists are gradually exterminat-
ing these native animals. Over half
million skins are annually shipped TO
England and large number to North
America, TO be converted into leather.
The macropid@ includes several kinds
of kangaroOs and wallabics. The prog
ress Of settlement in Australia has
driven these animals from the more
densely populated parts of the Austria
Ian continent, but in the country and
unsettled districts they are still numer-
GUS enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses. So
serious has been the injury thus wrought
that the colonial governments and run
holders pay a small sum per head for
the destruction of the kangaroos.

treasury note for 500. II was the

head of Lincoln on the face. Ii was the

artist, who has been puzzling the au-

it was done entirely in pen and ink. 1t
was actually accepted as genuine at a
United States sub-treasury and was sent
thence to Washington for redemption.
One Of the experts in the redemption
division Of the treasury, Miss Alma e..
Smith, discovered it, and the teller who
took it in at the sub.treasury will lose

A New Fertilizer.

In tallow melting establishments-and
there are a score Of them in the City Of
New York--a large amount OF refuse,
so-called tank water" is thrown away.
II contains a valuable element, gelatinc.
A patent has lately been granted to
Michael A.. GolseieiT, Of this city, for a
method Of utilizing the above waste
product. IL consists in partially evap-
Ofatiug he tank water and then combin-
ing it with quicklime in the proportion
of one aud one half parts Of lime to each
part Of water remaining in the refuse
after the evaporation. The mixture il
then allowed TO expand and dry, when it
is reduced to a powdered state, and is
usfeul rs a fertilizer, containing, rs the
patcntee claims, from seven to twelve
per cent. Of lime. II the new process
should be found practicable for adoption
by the various tallow melting manufac-
tories, then a waste refuse Of to-day will
be made useful, and what is now a nuis-
ance 10 public health will be abated.-
