An Unwilling comDatant.

Since the middle Of the preceding
night the bull had been shut up IN
his dark toril, deprived Of water
and food - well as Of light and
freedom. His huge restless body
has chafed against the oaken walls
Of his pen as he turned in every
direction, seeking for what had
been 80 unaccountably taken away
from him; and he had driven his
horns into the tough wood, splitting
thick planks in repeated, mighty
but fruitless efforts to escape. Sud-
denly there is . burst OF light, the
battered door swings open; it seems
that at the end of q narrow passage

four.footed animals in sight are
those wretched horses. Now, the
bull never thoroughly appreciates
and likes the horse, but he will not
attack him unproyoked; much less
win he voluntarily attack a horse
with the strange figure of a picador
on his back.
Then the chulos draw near HIM
as he stands, waving their cloaks to
tempt his charge; but he sees IN
them only four small two-legged
animals who offer him nothing to
eat and drink. So he just runs
away from them TO the barrier ana
leaps over it. There is a second
barrier protecting spectators IN the
front rows of seats, and between
these two barriers he is driven along
until a door in the first a be
swung back, barring the way and
obliging him to reenter the ring.
Immediately the chulos are after
him again; and he appears to have
made up his mind by this time to
accept the inevitable, for he now

lnIaid Woodwork

Two cabinet-makers at Hoodsport
have, during the past year. been at
work on cabinet which is but little
more than half done and already has
80, 900 pieces in it. 1t is made in
small parts, which will hereafter be
put together. One part one inch
square, another seven-eighths by one
eighth of an inch, a section one by two
and ne-eighth inches, another two by
three and three-eighths inches and a
fifth two and five-eighths inches
square, contain 400, 1880, ITO, ALSO
and 512O pieces respectively.
When complete the cabinet will
have about $50, 900 different pieces Of
wood, every piece being of a different
natural color from the one next to it,
and it will represent seven months
work. Each small piece, generally as
thin as shaving, is placed on its edge,
and thus a veneering is formed little
over sixteenth of an inch thick,
which is fastened to thin board.
They are also at work on an inter.
locked picture frame.
The main frame will be about 22x26
inches, with an interlocked frame in
the center and one in each corner,
thus holding five cabinet-size pictures,
the rest of the space being filled in
with other work The central frame is
now finished, and part of the rest.
When complete it will contain 100, 900
or 10, 900 pieces of wood. BarberrY
willow and cedar woods alone are
used. and from these they obtain
twenty distinct shades of natural color
Six shades are easily obtained from
the barberry, though fourteen shades
have been found in it. - Spokane

How Mes lie Paintings Are Made.

In order to reproduce painting in
mosaic, says Harper's Weekly, the ar
lists or artisans take fiat sheet OF
iron of the same size as the painting,
surrounded by border about an inch
high. This receptacle is then filled
with plaster, so as to obtain a per-
fectly fiat surface. On this the out
lines Of the figures are drawn. The
plaster is then cut up into small
SQUARES, which are to be removed
and gradually replaced by as many
squares Of mosaic of the same size.
In the holes left empty when the
plaster is taken away new plaster,
made of trayertine dust, lime and
linseed oil Is poured.
After three days this new plaster
acquires the necessary consistency,
and in this the artist sticks the little
colored squares. When all the sur.
face OF the plaster is covered with
these colored pieces Of mosaic, the
whole is washed with sand and water
until II becomes quite smooth. The
colored pieces are made Of mixtures
OF different minerals, like arsenic,
lead, glass, etc. These minerals are
placed in an oven, and the different
colors are obtained By the different
degrees OF heat, and as many as
%, 900 various cOlors can be obtained.
