How she Fighting Bulls Of Spa In Arc Pre-
pared for tho Ring.
The bulls used for lighting purposes
are specially selected, specially
cared-for class, says writer in the
Forrnightly Review. They are al ped
igreed. Andalusia is especially the
district Of the bull. Here. at the age
OF one year, the young bulls are sepa-
rated from the heifers, branded with
the owners mark, and turned out loose
on the plains to Craze with others of
their own age. When 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 horseback, who, by the
skillful use of blunted lance, over
throws the escaping bull, whereupon
another rider comes in front of the an
in1a1 with sharper lance to Withstand
the expected attacks If the bull, ON
regaining his feet, attacks the rider
twice it is passed as lighting animal,
but 1t it turns tail and runs of 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
two-year-olds has been tested. Each
bull that has stood the test successful
ly Is then entered in the herd book
with description Of its appearance
and receives name. The process of
careful selection goes on from year to
year until the bull is five years old,
when, should its mettle still prove
true, 1t is ready for the arena, and
flaming posters appear on the walls Of
Madrid or Seville announcing that Es-
partero Tor whatever his name is) will |
on such date make his first and final |
appearance. A good, ''warrantable"
fve-year-old bull for the fighting arena
costs from three hundred and fifty to
four hundred dollars.

AN EGG STEALER.
Tho Weasel Is Easily Entitled to the
Championship.

Tho Weasel Is Easily Entitled to the
Championship.
Game eggs and small birds alike are
the objects of the foes, furred and
feathered, who come behind man.
The feathered ones naturally have
the widest scope; for eggs, whether
reposing on the ground or in a we'll
built nest in n lofty tree, come
equally within the range OF sight and
swoop. The furred ones have to con-
tent themselves with the ground
eggs, which are, of course, the best;
perhaps, therefore, they have the
best of the deal, though not so much
variety. And among them we rank
facile princeps the stealthy, sinuous,
ubiquitous weasel Stoat and polecat
like eggs, but they are rarer and more
sparsely distributed than the smaller
but much more effective weasel This
willy creature is an egg-sucker of
immense enthusiasm and persever-
ance. Winding its way through the
purple heather, or the scrub and
braclien, toward the nursery of the
red or black grouse, creeping amid
grass or clover, or scarcely rustli ng
along the leaf-carpeted ditch toward
the simple nest of the gallant hen
partridge, veritable amazon in de-
Tense of her fGmil;, polking its head
out of n disused drain in the farm
yard, accommodating the hen houses,
gliding through the long grass at the
edges of the rides, and amid the hazels
and hollies of the copses after
the pheasant's costly eggs, the weasel
is equally indefatigable. 1t will ban
quet on every egg it can find till
gorgcd like trout on the may-fly,
and kin young birds till it desists
only from sheer WEAKNESS. Like its
semi-tame relative, the ferret, it is in

SOWING FLAx.-The seed of this
crop is sown at the same time as oats
that is, as nearly in the spring as
the soil is in good condition and the
danger Of frosts is past. March OF
April is the usual time of sowing. The
land should be plowed in the fall and
left rough rHtil spring, when a cult
vator, or harrow, is used to level and
mellow the surface. 1t is best TO sow
the seed by drill in rows about eight
inches apart, so that the crop NAV be
hoed or weeded in some way. This
has special Importance for the
yield of the crop. II the seed only
is desired, one bushel to the
acre is sown, as the thin seeding
encourages the branching of the
stems and the larger production of
grain. II for the fiber, two brushes
are sown, the thicker growth making
less branchy and longer and straighter
stems. The fiber is also finer in quality.
II the crop is grown for the fiber, the
plants are pulled up by the roots when
the bottom of the stems appear of a
yellowish color. After this period the
seed is formed at the expense Of the
fiber, which becomes coarser and
woody. If grown for the seed, the
plant is left to ripen completely, when
the stems are quite yellow and hard.
The best land for this crop is grass
sod on rich, fine loam.-Ex.

Distinct ana IndistInct Vision.

The mechanism Of distinct and indis'
tinct vision has been understood only
stree 1876. The sensitive parts Of the
retina are little rods ana cones forming
Il layer by themselves. In 1876, Boil
discovered that In frogs kept in the
dark the rods Of the retina We're col
ored n dark purple; but on exposure to
light the color faded, beconilg first
yellow and then white. Since that time
Psychologists have been carefully in
YES tigating visual purple and visual
elbow. Just outside the layer OF rods
AID cones are the dark cells which
render the greatest part of the interior
OF the eye almost black. III the dark,
these cells send little filaments between
the rods and discharge liquid which
colors the rods alone. When the rods
are thus colored. the eye IS extremely
sensitive, so that bright light is daz-
zling and painful and obscuras distinct
vision. This IS the reason why we can
not see distinctly when we come sud-
denly from the dark into full light.
In a few seconds, however, the color
Is bleached 10 yellow and the diff
! fculty passes away. When, on the
other hand, when we pass from a
bright light into the dark. the retina
has lost its sensibility from disappear
ance OF the visual purple. and we can
not see at all until the purple is re-
| produced, as It is in the absence CT
light. This difference is not due "a
dilatation of the pupil in the darl;
and contraction under the influence OF
/ light, rs is popularity supposed, for q

when the pupil has been fully dilated

In the little area Of distinct vision
there is never any visual purple This
area we always use with sufficient light
for minute details Of objects, making
! then the greatest use of the mechanism
OF accommodation. The area outside
OF this is used for indistinct vision, and
as the color is then yellow instead OF
purple, ii is only moderately sensitive

ForeteIIlng weather from Gnsiight.


w. Elliott, a Scotchman, is the au-
thority for the statement that weather
forecasts can be made by closely OBJ
serving the various shapes and shades
of the gas fame as visible in n street
lamp about 100 yards off. If snow is
to be looked for, the gas burns with a
clean, bright light, with center as
lrillifnt as silver. and the approach Of
frost is indicated by tail from the
bottom Of the light resembling wine
bottle turned up side down." The size
of the tail" will show the degree of
frost. The forecast for sunshine IS also
tall but with {: decided difference.
THE frost tail, is solid, but for sun
shine il is made of rays closely pressed
together. There is very particular
point TO be observed here. The mo-
ment Il ray tail is seen, similar tail
is TO be Observed at certain stars, and
IL is not to be seen if there is to be no
sunshine next day" Rays out from the
sides and bottom of the light, with n
flame OF the same shade as candle
flame, foretell rain, and the size Of the
rays will be an approximate indication
of the quantity Of rain to be looked for
II haze and fog are TO be expected, the
fame burns white, and very small
fame. but bright as silver, with the
slightest touch Of a mauve tone. Is a
sure forerunncr Of thunder. A ''reflec-
ton" around the light means wind, and
A "hazy fur is the prognostic for heat.
rhe injunction that the light must be
about 100 yards distant from the OBJ
server is especially emphasized. Those
who still have street lamps with them
will doubtless be interested in testing
Mr.. Elliott's system. From the va
carries of the electric light very close
deductions may sometimes be drawn
as TO what is going ON ut the central
station, and there Is no reason why the
humble gas fame should not have Its
own lines Of suggestiveness
