The MatadOr's Last Thrust.

The art of the matador is not to run
up to the bull and stab him, but to
have him come to you and fling him
self upon the sword, while you direct
his movements this way and that with
the scarlet cape. He will follow
red cape anywhere, and the chulas are

time to die. A narrowing sight it is.
The noble creature-the only noble
creature, as it seems, in the ring

forth torrents of blood, MS all his en-.
emies crowd around him, sticking to
it until he drops trembling against the
fender. Then in come the teams OF
mules. gsyly decorated with flags and
ribbons, to carry The bull and the

ing around the whole arena, each drag
ging its bloody carcass, while the band
plays another quickstep.
They are hardly out of the ring be.
fore the drum rolls and the next bull
bursts into the arena. So it goes on,
until six bulls are done for. All the
while our neighbors in the next box
are eating and drinking. AS for us,
we see nothing but the suffering and
death over and over again. 1t carries
you back to the Roman circus, and you
wonder what civilization has done for
Spain, whose population is still so
thirsty for blood. The Spaniards are
SO used to it that they see none of the
barbarity, only the skill and the
science. And the English residents
in Spain are more enthusiastic than
the Spaniards themselves.

Took Charge OF Him.

1t is often said that benefit con.
ferred does more to promote friend
ship than favor received. II you
would cultivate a friendly feeling to-
ward another, do him kindness; if
you would secure his lasting friend
snip, get him to do you a kindness.
There is some truth, at any rate, In
this view of the case; and it applies
even to dogs, as is shown strikingly
by story related in ''Gold, Sport and
Coffee Planting in Mysore," by Mr..
r. II. Elliot
Mr.. A. told me that he once
wounded a tiger which afterward
sprang on him, knocked him down,
and seized him by the hand and arm.
With Mr. A. was large dog, which
at once attacked the tiger, and di-
verted him from Mr.. A. After driv.
ing off the dog, the tiger returned to
Mr.. A, and commenced worrying
him, but was again attacked by the
dog.
The dog was driven Off three or
four times, but the tiger was all the
while losing strength, and finally
died. The dog was uninjured. Now
comes the curious part Of the story.
The dog, which was not affectionate,
belonged TO Mr.. A. 's'brother, and pre-.
viously had taken no interest in any
one but his master Now, however,
he refused to 20 home with his
master, but stuck closely to the
wounded man, and when some car.
bolic acid, which caused pain. was
applied by Mr.. AIS brother to the
wound, the dog began 10 growl and
show other signs of displeasure.
He would not allow anyone to come
near Mr.. A. except his own special
servant, and lay under the bed with
his nose sticking out, keeping close
guard.
When Mr.. A. was carried to the
doctor, some thirty-tlve miles away,
the dog went, too, and on the doctor $
applying carbolic acid and setting the
bones, which caused the patient to
cry out, the dog at once seized the
doctor by the leg.
In about three months Mr.. A. was
quite cured. After that the dog lost
all interest in him, and returned to
his master; and If he met Mr.. A. by
chance, merely acknowledged his
recognition Of him by the faintest
way of his tail.
A year afterward, happening to
meet the doctor whom he had not
seen in the meantime, he at once
flew at him and seized him by the
trousers.

For the SuperstitiOus,

Are you superstitious? If you are,
you may find something among the fol-
lowing to fit your peculiar state of
mind:
If bees swarm on rotten tree a
death in the family will occur within a
twelvemonth. 1t is unlucky for q
stray swarm Of bees to alight on ones
premises.
When cats wash their ears more than
usual rain is at hand. The sneezing
of cat indicates good luck to a
bride.
Cattle give warning of an earthquake
by their uneasiness.
A cinder bounding from q fire is
either purse or coffin.
If q milkmaid neglects to wash her
hands after milking her cows will go
dry.
Crickets bring good luck to q house.
1t is unlucky to kill them,
If crow croaks an odd number of
times. it means foul weather; if an
even one, fine.
The clicking or tapping of the
beetle, called the death watch, is an
omen of death.
1t forebones evil to the child if any
one rocks its cradle when empty.
Dogs give warning of death by
scratching at the door of house.
If rat or mouse, during the night,
gnaw on cloths, it is indicative of some
impending evil.
Pigs running about with straws in
their mouths fOretell rain
if you count the number of fish you
have caught you will catch no more
that day.
1t is unlucky if hare runs across
the road in front of you.
To eat the food that mouse has
nibbled will give sore throat.
A fried mouse is specific for small
pox.
To meet SOW with litter of pigs
is very lucky.
A spider worn in nutshell around
the neck is cure for fever.
If a swallow builds on house it
brings good luck. To kill swallow is
unlucky. When swallows fly high it
will be fine weather, and Uice uerSa.
