New Mexico's First Circus,

! was living in Albuquerque, N. NJ,
when the first circus struck that country.
Few people in that country at that time
either spoke or read the English language.
Cole came to the country with his show
and soon learned that the natives did not
read anything but Spanish. He had his
cuts with him and the office with which /
was connected took them and put in the
reading matter in Spanish. The church in
that section at that time ruled everything,
as it does today. Cole was advised of that
fact and was told that he would have to
get the clergy to indorse his show before
the laymen would patronize it. He en-
ployed couriers to take the bills and go
into the country with them and give them
to the priests. At the same time he sent
10 each priest complimentary tickets to
the show
The result was that the priests talked
favorably of the coming exhibit and two
or three days before the circus spread its
tents in Albuquerque the natives began to
arrive from the interior and camped out
all about the town. l never saw such a
motley assembly before or since. And
while the circus remained-I have forgot
ten how long it was-the natives staid, and
a more enthusiastic audience no circus
ever had, / will venture to assert. / will
also venture the assertion that Cole was
the first and only circus man to interest
the church in behalf of his show in order
to draw u crowd.-Chicago Tribune.

Bent on Paving ais Fare.

He sat in Sixth avenue elevated rail-
road car and twirled five cent piece ex-
pectantly. At length he turned to a
reporter, who happened to be sitting near
him, and said: b -..
whats the fare on this road!"
Give cents"
"Don't they collect its"
Certainly not. You buy ticket at the
station where you get on and put it in the
box on the platform"
"That's strange" said the man with the
unused nickel Somehow I've slipped IN
without paying. You see,s he added con-
fidentially, "Tm from California, and we
don't ride around in this sort Of thing out
there. Guess can put in a ticket when
get off, can't II"
"Well," said the reporter, "the elevated
road crowds and hustles us so that some
New Yorkers wouldn't hesitate to beat
the road if it were in such an unintentional
manner as you have done it,"
II think had better pay" said the Cali
fornian decidedly. And at Fourteenth
street he left the train and said to the
ticket chopper, Somehow or other have
ridden up here from Chambers street with
out paying anything.p
''Saved nickel, did yert"
II want to pay now"
"Hey?"
II say want to pay for my ride"
"Don't live in New York, do your"
"No."
"Didn't come from Jersey or Brooklyn,

"No."
"Where did you come from"
"California."

"Well, you go around to that window" 4"
gasped the chopper, plank down five cents

chopped tickets goin on three years, but

A Lover I'm 1851.

My present suit and service are paid to a
certain lady, who is as fearful of receiving
any tokens of my affection as am of offer
ing them. / am only permitted to admire
her at distance; an ogle or leer are all
the advances dare make; if move but a
finger, it puts her all in a sweat; and,
like the sensitive plant, she would shrink
and die away at touch. l also once
plucked up courage sufficient to attempt
squeezing her by the hand, but she resisted
my attack by so close touch of her fist
that my grasp was presented with nothing
but sharp pointed knuckles and long
thumb nail, and / was directly after sa-
luted with violent strokeon my jawbone.
If walk out with her, use all my ell
deavors to keep close to her side, but she
whisks away from me US though had
some catching distemper about me. In
short, sir, / begin to despair of ever COM
ing in close contact with her. But what
is still more provoking, though she keeps
me at so respectful distance, she tameiy
permits strapping fellow of the guards
to pat her on the cheek, play with her
hand, and even approach her lips, and
that, too, in my presence. .-Bonnel Thorn

The Sweet Tooth.

In most cases where we find consid-
erable quantities of sugar conspicuously
massed in any part of plant organism
the sweet Juice is placed there on pur-
pose to be eaten. In comparatively
small masses IL is sorted in flowers or
elsewhere for the use Of insects. In
larger amounts 1t is stored in fruits for
the use Of birds and mammals And it
Is these conspicuous storehousss Of ma
tive sugar that man in tho first instance
began to seize upon for his own pur.
poses. Himself descendant Of the
fruit eating monkeys, he has always re-
manned to q great extent fruit eater.
In the tropics to this day he subsists
largely upon plantains, bananas, man.
goes, bread fruit aiH cocoanuts, though
he also depends to no small degree upon
subterranean storehouses of starch or
sugar, such as yams and sweet potatoes.
In temperate climates, on the other
hand, he derives his food more from
seeds than from fruits. Wheat, rye,
maize, barley, oats, rice and millets form
the staple Of his diet, while his prin-
cipal subterranean food, the potato, is
starchy, not sugary. Accordingly his in
herited sweet tooth feels the need for
sugar-a need which he has endea1ored
from all time to satisfy, especially in
youth, with dried fruits, figs, raisins
and other like devices -Cornhill Maya

How Distant Is Noya2

We know nothing of the distance of the
Nova from our system, but the assump-
tion is not an improbable one that it was
as far away from us as the Nova of 1876,
for which Sir Robert Ball failed to find
any parallaX. II this be so, the emission
of light suddenly set up in the very faint
stars, certainly within two days, and pos
sibly, as in the case of the Nova of 1866,
within a few hours, was much greater
than the light emitted by our sun. Yet
within some some fifty days after its dis
covery, ut the end of January, its light fell
to about the one.three- -hundredth part, and
in some three months to the one-ten-thou-
sandth part. So long as its spectrum
could be observed, the chief features re-
mained unchanged.
Under what conditions could we suppose
the sun to cool down sufficiently for its
light to decrease to similar extent in so
short time, and without the incurring Of
material changes in the solar spectrumP
1t is therefore scarcely conceivable that
we have to do with the conversion Of
gravitational energy into light and heat.
On the view we have ventured to suggest,
the rapid calming down, after some sway
ing to and fro of the tidal disturbances
and the closing in again of the outer and
cooler gases, together with the want of
transparency which often comes in under
such circumstances, might account reason
ably for the very rapid and at first Curl
ously fuetuating waning of the Nova, as
we'll as for the want of changes in the
spectrum-William Higgins in Fortnight
ly Review.

The Confessor of the Fifteenth Century.
Accustomed as we are to modern ideas
and customs, it is hard to comprehend the
genuine father confessor of the Fifteenth
century. the supreme counselor Of the
sovereigns in virtue of his office and in the
confidence of the confessional. Fray Her
nando de Talavera, first prior of the mon
astery of Ell Prado, in Valladolid, later
bishop of Avila and lastly archbishop of
Granada, when seated in the confessional
deemed his seat higher than the throne,
and held himself TO be the dispenser of the
earthly and eternal salvation of the SOW
ereigns.
Even in his first confession he had an al
tercation with the queen, for when Isabella
desired to confess either standing or sitting
he replied that she should do neither, but
kneel at his feet. He was as rightly able
to call himself minister of state as of the
treasury, and as well minister of the treas
ury as of instruction and fine arts, without
question as to the ministry Of good be-
havior; and 80 Isabella confded to his zeal
the management Of the debt equally with
the choice of her daily reading in the royal
library, and asked his counsel alike con-
cerning the most important DEGREES and
the most ordinary household affairs.-Em-
lilo CASTELAR, in Century.

On Aerial Navigation.

In a paper ON modern aerial navigation,
read by Captain j. D. Fullerton, r, T., be-
fore the Royal United Service institution,
the object was to show that the science Of
aeronautics was based upon simple rules
and common sense, and not upon wild and
vague theories opposed to all principles of
nature. Captain Fullerton divided aerial
navigation into two distinct branches Bal
looming or navigation by means OF machines
lighter than air, and aeration or naviga-
tion by means Of machines heavier than
the air.
Describing the requirements of pro-
posed war balloon, he said these were that
it should be able to carry three or four pas
sengers, a supply of explosive shells and a
machine gun or two; that it should be able
to travel at the rate Of about thirty miles
an hour on a still day, which would enable
it to keep up with almost any warship
afloat.-London Nature.

The Boys Inmost thoughts.

Alden's mother was woman of more
than medium height, weighing nearly 200
pounds. She was subject to severe "heart
attacks" and after one that nearly proved
fatal and while anticipating return that
would end her life she called Alden to her
bedside to give him few parting words Of
motherly counsel, SO necessary to boy Of
six years. With the thought of near de-
mise to give pathos and earnestness to her
remarks, she spoke of leaving him and
showed him what he must do to grow up
good man after she was gone. The con-
versation seemed to make the desired i'm
preston and he was so sober and thought
full that she more than half regretted hav.
ing worked upon his sympathies in such a
manner.
Wishing to know the depth of his
thought she said, "Well, my dear, of what
are you thinkings"l One can well imagine
her feelings when he remarked with evi.
dent concern, "oh, l was just a-thinkin
what an awful big coffin " takep' It's
needless to say that tn (ot hougk

The Exodus of Organ Grinders.

The first warm day Of spring will see
those who have wintered in the city pack
their ponderous organs on their backs and
make for the provinces. They scatter all
over the country, going as far west as
Denver and all through the New England
states. They work their way, as rule,
tramping oftentimes from town to town
Juggling their fifty pound instruments
through the hot, dusty country for score
of miles to make probably a few dollars
and then on to the next. The monkey
long since made his exit from the cities
and it is only rarely that they are now seen
in the small towns. A man in Brooklyn
made fortune in raising and training
them, and he received often as much as
fifty dollars for well trained monkey

A roihle of the Great Rachel.

"Look at the presents Rachel made to
every one," says the panegyrists. They
forgot to mention that an hour afterward
she regretted her generosity, and from that
moment she never left off scheming how to
get the thing back. Every one knew this.
Beauvallet, to.whom she gave magnifi-
cent sword one day. instead of thanking
her, said: "rll have chain put to it,
mademoiselle, so as to fasten it to the wall
of my dressing room. In that way shall
be sure that it will not disappear during
my absence"
Alexandra Dumas, the younger, to whom
she made present of ring, bowed low
and placed it back on her finger at once.

mademoiselle, so as to prevent you asking
for it," She did mot say nay, but carried
the matter with one Of her fascinating

When a year older the young bulls are
gathered together in order that their
mettle and fighting qualities may be
tested. One of them is separated from
the herd and chased by man on horse.
back, who, by the skillful use of q
blunted lance, overthrows the escaping
bull, whereupon another rider comes in
front Of the animal with sharper
lance to Withstand the expected at.
tack. If the bull, on regaining his feet
attacks the rider twice, it is passed as
Il fighting animal, but If he turns tail
and runs off, then it is set aside to be
killed or to be used in agricultural
work. And so with each animal until
the whole herd Of 2-year-olds has been
tested. Each bull that has stood the
test successfully is then entered in the
herd book, with description of its ap-
pearance, and receives a name-such
as Espartero, Hamenco,> and the like
This process of careful selection goes
on from year to year until the bull is
five years old, whel, should its mettle
still prove true, it is ready for the
arena, and flaming posters appear on
