The Bull Fight in Madrid.

AS rivulets and mountain torrents rush
to the main stream of some water-course.
the whole population of Madrid fiocks 10
the Alcala, laying aside, as they settle
themselves down in the tiers of seats IN
the circus, the gravity Tor which the Cas-
tilians are noted elsewhere. to give them
selves up, as the spectacle begins, to noisy
and boisterous delight. Above are the
gaily decorated private boxes, in which
sway to and fro the white cloaks and red
fans of the richly dressed occupants.
whilst below are. the masses of citizens,
who, though generally sober enough. are
now intoxicated, SO to speak, with the
smell OF blood and the sight of the algua-
Zils, or police, i'll their old-fashioned COS
i'll their many colored capas do
durancillo, or silk cloaks; the plea
dores, or mounted spearmen; the
banderilleros, or dart-throwers; the es-
padas, or slayers, ana the mule team, or
81 tiro. The spectators gloat on the skill
with which the picadores fling their
spears, and the banderilleros their darts;
the agile SuerteS, or tricks ofthe chuloS and
toreros as they goad the bull to madness;
and the excitement and tension are i'm
mense in the final act of the drama, when
death is dealt by the espada to the bull,
who has strewn the arena with the corpses
OF horses. Then, no doubt, the people OF
Madrid lose their heads; their selt-con-
troll is gone, and they really seem cruel
and inhuman.
For all this, however, he who condemns
them does them injustice, for there are no
better folk in the world than
these same people of Madrid. Set against
their conduct at the bull-tights their be-
haVior in times of revolution or when
some epidemic is raging, and no one can
help admiring as L admire and loving as
love them. Never,can l forget their no
bic charity during the visitation OF
cholera In 1865. when l saw poor work
people carrying the stricken in their
arms, pressing to their hearts those all
but dead, reviving them with their own
breath, never thinking that in so doing
they were risking their own lives. Truly
people who could act i'll manner so
heroic, so sublime, must have grand re-
serve of vital force, generous nature
which radiates forth goodness as the sun
radiates forth heat.-Emilfo CASTELAR,, in

HINTS ABOUT EATING.
Certain Conditions Ought to BE Com
piled With.


The time at which the principal meal is
*aken is not, within limits, of such great
Importance if certain essential conditions
are complied with. The selected hour
should be adhered to, for the stomach ac-
quires the habit of getting ready at the
usual ume-if it is disappointed, either
the appetite fails or Indigestion follows.
The food last taken should not have been
too recent, nor should there have been
too long fast. The diner should not be
overtried, otherwise the stomach will
share in the general exhaustion. If the
stomach has been fatigued by efforts to
digest too recent a meal, or by too long
abstinence, or partake of the general ex-
haustion of Its proprietor, it will be un-
able to form the juices necessary for di-
gestion. To his principal meal a man
should bring his body fresh and vigorous
and a stomach refreshed by rest after
having done work within reasonably
short period. Dinner should never be
bolted and hurried over. The food
should be well masticated. The ma
terials should be the best obtainable, the
meat good and the vegetables fresh. The
cooking should be carefully and properly
done. Indigestible things, or those which
disagree with the individual, should be
eschewed.
After the meal the diner should rest or
have some light occupation for an hour,
undertake active physical exercise-not
even moderately rapid walking-nor
should he study, think over business or
occupy his mind seriously in any way
1t is well to remember that piece of beef
remains in and engages the stomach for
about three hours, piece of salt beef or
pork four and q quarter hours. Nor is it
right to sleep for some time after meal
During sleep digestion is suspended; the
food remains in the stomach and under
goes improper changes; digestion is de-
ferred till the sleeper awakens, and then
takes place imperfectly. Indigestion and
nightmare are the consequences. FL
nally, do not eat too much. 1t is better
to eat too little. The rule to get up with
an appetite, though hardly an inviting
one, is not without reason. Habitual re-
pletion is much to be deprecated. If peo-
pie would or could always attend to these
simple directions, the benefit to health
would be enormous. The gain in econ
omy, too, would be greater than many
of us think. 1t is astonishing how
little food a man requires to do
hard work and remain in health, ii that
food is proper in quality and properly
taken. Improper food improperly tax en-
is not only to great extent wasted, but
will, in the end, lead to a serious dis
aster.-CasseL's Family Magazine.

ELECTRICITY AND DISEASE
By Its Aid the Physician Can Explore
All Parts of the Body
The ann1icatioo oF a1actricitv in n,a5;-

The application of electricity in medi-
cine and surgery has kept pace with its
service IN commerce and industry. 1t has
mad It's quacks and frauds, and in many
instances acted as a magician with pub
lie confidence, and as a confidence man
with its dollars. With these exceptions
and the usual squad of impostors and
dupes, the service of electricity in the
heallng arts of the physician has been OF
considerable value. Its possibilities as a
remedial agent are as yet not in sight or
perspective limit. In apparatus. device,
forms OF current and new methods, every
year sees an increase and improvement
BY aid OF its light the physician can ex-
pIore all parts of the human economy,
and by the use OF the endescope can scru-
tlnl2e the internal walls of the stomach,
ana darts its search-light over the alb
domlnai department where disease in its
embryonic conditions has hitherto en-
Joyed immunity from inspection. The
electrIc needle is used to decompose tu-
lhors, coagulate aneurisms and remove
Nagrant hairs and freckleS from territory
In which they have no claims of citizen
ship. The electromagnetic extracts iron
OF sueei from the eye, and the electric
motor turns the drill OF the dentist when
excaVating q troublesome molar. As a
means OF diagnosis 1t has proven of con-
siderable service, and in the surgery of
1hS DIdlu anu Splnal corQ, has Speclal
value. The Introduction of drugs into
The human body via the skin is an added
service in electric medication, and has
done much, not only in the alleviation of
pain, but in the prolonging of life. IL
some disorders of the nervous system its
intrinsic value is matter OF dispute, and
some claims made by practitioners on
that score have TO be accepted, on faith.
Enough of evidence is, however, on hand
to illustrate the value of this potent and
mysterious force that can find its way in
the muscle, bone, nerve and viscera OF
the human economy, and search out the
secrets of the cells, tissue and all the func-
tional organisms in the physiology OF
man. In this aspect electricity is beneti-
cent and also suggestive OF the thought
held as yet in suspensive conditions,
that i'll what is known as "the secret of
life" the subtle and mysterious force
as electricity may be an at1iliaiion if not
an exposition. Electricity may forever
remain comparative mystery, but to
those who know most of the little already
known of this potent energy, the lines of
discovery are constantly vibrating with
what, if problem to-day, ceases to be so
to-morrow.-The Age of Steel.

WHY OIL CALMS THE SEA
1t Acts as a Dead Weight and Pre-
vents the Waves From Breaking.

1t Acts as a Dead Weight and Pre-
vents the Waves From Breaking.
1t has long been known that oil poured
upon the surface OF stormy water has a
wonderful effect in calming it. Many
vessels have probably been saved from
destruction by this simple method, and
eyery month the United States hydro
graphic bureau publishes, along with its
"Pilot Chart" dozens of letters from
ship Captains describing the results they
have obtained by the use of oil in smooth
ing the waters of an angry sea. The rea-
son of this curious effect OF oil upon water
is, according to the Youths COmpd'aiOH,
the yiscosity or adhesiveness of the
oil, which causes it to act some
what like skin drawn over the more
unstable surface of the water so that the
tendency of the latter to break into spray
as it is driven by the wind is restrained.
The danger to ships from nigh running
sea arises from this breaking of the waves.
AS long as the surface OF the waves is
smooth and unbrokeu the ship rides
easily upon them.
But while the principle upon which the
oil acts is thus evident enough, the real
method of its action is not so apparent.
This has recently been subjected to u
mathematical investigation by \. B.
Bassett in England. He shows that the
viscosity of oil is so much greater than
that of water, being in the case of olive
oil more than 23S times as great, that the
water may be regarded as triciionless
LIQUID in comparison with the oil. The
surface tension between the oil and the
air is also shown to be considerably
greater than that between the oil and the
water. With these data he finds that the
motion will be stable, or there will be no
breaking of the waves, unless the latter
vary in length between two certain
fractions of centimetre, namely,
nine-elevenths and four-tifths. The re-
suit would, of course, vary a little
with different kinds OF oil, and
as matter of fact the reports
of mariners show there is Il consid-
cradle difference in the eflect produced
upon the waves, depending upon the sort
of oil that is used. Petroleum and vari-
Gus kinds of fish oils have been employed.
The effect is always found to be bene1-
cial, though in varying degrees.

SKATING ON ARTIFEc1AL ICE,
How Pleasure-Lovin. Parislans Have
been Enjoying Themselves.

DOOhA AAAJOJ LhSLIStlN0S.
The French, though an industrious and
thrifty race, take their pleasure very ear
nestly, and the Partisan is the personifi-
cation OF gayety. Although he is at his
best IN summer, when the snn is always
SHINING, and he can pass his life in the
open air, he is as keenIy alive TO the at
fractions of winter recreations as his Ca
madam brethren, and while people in
other lands have been complaining of the
intermittent nature OF this winters frosts,
he has been skating on genuine ice since
the LIST OF october last. skating rink of
artificial Ice has been constructed in Paris
forty meters in length by eighteen in
width
AS described by the Globe Democrat, it
consists of a cement and cork floor rest
lug upon perfectly tight metallic foun-
dation, upon which is arranged series of
connected iron pipes, having a total
length OF 5000 meters. The building is
supplied with steam engines and the
machinery for converting ammoniacal
gas into liquid ammonia, which is led
into large reservoirs or refrigera-
tors, where it expands with the
production of cold. Having returned to
the gaseous state it is taken up again by
the machines, which force it anew into
the condensers, and so on indefinitely
The same supply of ammonia serves over
and over again. The lowering of the
IS utilized for cooling an uncongealable
liquid solution of calcium chloride) which
circulates in splrals in the center of the
refrlgeratories. This liquid, by means of
a pump, is forced into the pipes in the
floor of the rink. Each section derives
ats supply from TWO principal conduits.
into which there is a constant flow of the
chloride of calcium solution cooled TO a
temperature that varies according to the
velocity of the circulation, which can be
regulated at will. When the external
temperature is not very high, and all
that has To be done is merely TO keep the
ice in condition, few degrees below zero
will suffice, while on the contrary, when
the upper stratum, or even the entire
rink has to be renewed, temperature OF
10 to 20 degrees below may be needed.
The surface is renewed every night.
First, the snow produced by the blades OF
the skates is removed and then a sheet OF
water is spread, by means of a pump,
over the ice and kept in circulation dur
ing the entire period of cougelation in
order to give perfectly even surface. In
order to prevent the spirals from produc-
ing changes of level through the contrac-
ton due to the differences in temperature
to which they are subjected, they are
composed of pipes that enter each other
with friction to a certain length. They
thus form slides that allow Of Il certain
play. Moreover. in order that their tenn
perature shall be as uniform as possible,
care Is taken to frequently change the
direction of the current. In this way a
uniform mean temperature in the entire
circulation is secured. The hall is dec
GRATED with winter scenery and lit by
electric light and the temperature is care
fully regulated and usually maintained
at between 10 and lSo

Chickens on the Farm.

A generation ago the chickens to be
seen around the average farmhouse were
OF "A mixed and haphazard breed. There
are farmers still who keep such poultry;
there are also farmers who do not believe
that the world is round and reVolves on
its axis every twenty-four' hours. But
farmers SO careless as to their poultry are
almost as scarce as the latter ignorant
class. You may meet farmer whose
ideas are little mixed about the rotation
of crops and The value OF silage, but you
have to 60 far indeed to find one who has
not his preference as between Plymouth
Rocks, Leghorns, Langshans, Cochins and
BrahnldS. Chickens on a farm are u kind
of savings bank, and those which lay the
most eggs and fetch the highest prices as
broilers are very naturally more highly
esteemed. Now the fancy farmers were
the first to attempt to breed better chick
ems i'll tins country, and they continue to
lead in the experiments looking owlrd
the further bettermeut OF domestic fowls.
There is one thing that has been insisted
on in vain, so far as ordinary farmers are
concerned. That is the value of cleanli-
ness-cleanliness i'll the chick ken-houses
and cleanliness in the food and water
given TO the fowls. Unclean houses are
productive of all kinds of disease, and
unclean food and water also. There is an
old fashioned notion that chickens are
good scavangers, and that if allowed the
freedom OF the barnyard they will forage
for themselves. This is true, but it IS
very unlikely that any cock or hen from
such range would ever take prize in a
poultry show. The way to get prize
chickens is to mate the best with the best,
and rear the broods with care. AS the
reward, both in profit and satisfaction, is
well worth the trouble, it seems strange
that any country people should be con-
tent with any but the best.-John Gilmer
Speed, in Harper's Weekly.

Why
Are they Wanted

Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes, puddings,
creams, etc, are made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
a new method, from the true
fruit, so that each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why DR..
Prices Delicious Flavoring
Extracts, Lemon, Orange,
Vanilla, ETC., are wanted. To
the connoisseur the difference
between them and the COM
mon Flavoring Extracts is so
great that it cannot be ex-
pressed in words. A trial
will prove their superior
excellence.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Teha-na County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from S1O 10 $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 12O, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the nav
ment of interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF fl We equal an.
nIal lnstallments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipai Is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum.
Dlaking payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as-
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades Of land ct prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciaily adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from S6G to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
uf these lands TO actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body OF land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its SET
tlelnent in smaller quantities and It's devotion
to diligent husbandry.
