USES FOR THE ARMY.

From the Youths Companio ion.
ihe regular army of the United
States costs more to support. in pro-
portion to the number of enlisted
men. than the army of any European
power. One reason for this is the fact
that our army is scattered, in compare
lively small detachments, over a great
extent of country, and that many mill
tary posts are in remote places where
it is costly to maintain them.
But if the army is costly in proper
ton to its size, we employ it for vari-
ous purposes which are more nearly
connected with peace than with war,
and thus get out of il valuable service.
which European powers pay for sepa-
rately.
While we maintain this army OF
about twenty-eight thousand men and
officers at a high state of military ef-
ficiency and readiness for war, we re-
auire the officers TO render a practical
equivalent as they go along for the
cost of their education and support.

N rushes the mad bull at full speed.
He makes for the first picador he sees.
Or rather for the picador's poor. de-
senseless. blindfolded horse, which does
not know what the racket is all about
Or what to expect. The picador re-

charge of the bull: the horse IS raised

the air and yelling at the top of his
roice. It is now the toreador's turn.
The bull makes for him vic;ously, in
tent on sending him on visit TO the
stars by way Of the horn route.
The toreador has to exercise all
his remarka BILE agility, and barely es-
capes- He has enough for the time,
and another blindfolded horse is now
urged by attendants to that portion Of
the ring in which the bull is cutting
up his capers. The bull sees him and

have been five or six horses killed in
the fight or which died shortly after
leaving the arena One was killed in
stantly, one of the bulls horns piercing
his heart.
But the most Objectionable part of
the fight is now over. The bull has
been worked into frenzy. Darts are
thrown into his neck. He bellows and
paws the ground in his rage and makes
maddened rushes at the toreadors.
They have many narrow escapes, and
in this fight their escape on two occa-
sions was but little short short of prov
All this has been but prelim-

1t is now for the matador-the prince
of all the fighters, the man who is to
kill the bull--to give an exhibition OF
his skill and to triumph over the rag
ing animal. He approaches with per-
feet grace and with an air of confidence
and strength In his right hand he
carries slender sword, straight and
keen. Over his left arm is a flaming
red cloth. He waves it before the bull.
The animal lowers his massive head
and makes a charge. The matador
steps lightly to one side and the bull
goes by. Looking up he sees the fut-
tering red cloth waving tantalizingly
before him, and he charges again. The
maneuvers about, watching
every move of his victim. Quick as
fash he thrusts his sword up to the
very hilt in the bulls neck. The heart
is pierced or vital vein severed. The
bull falls over and the gala" day is
