WOMAN BULL FIGHTER
Beautiful Donna PiedrOs, spain's F'a-
vorfte Matador.

Now that woman las usUrped mans
place in many occupations, il is not al
al surprising that she has entered the
arena where bulls are killed-in civil
lied Spain. Spain can boast Of three
women who are bull fighters, despite
their supposedly gentle sex. One Of
them is a matadnr, who kills the animal
after it has been tormented and VIC und-
ed and the other two are toreadors, : 10
worry and injure the beast.
All three are young and beautif Il.
says The New York Journal. and all
three are the idols of the public. The
principal one is Donna Piedros, the
matador. She is p, remarkably hand
some, with big black eyes and long
raven hair. She has been in the ring for
six years and during that time has
been in danger repeatedly.
When first she made known her inten-
ton OF entering the arena there was a
howl Of protest, but she persisted, and
when she made her first appearance she
was showered with flowers. Since then
she has been in the ring once every
month, and on several occasions has
been more or less injured.
Her part of the work consisted in Civ
ing the quietus to the bull after he had
been disabled by the toreadors. She did
this with a sharp, two-edged sword,
which she plunged into the heart or
neck OF the beast The animals have
bad habit Of making "a last desperate
rally and OF charging upon their tor
mentors. In this way Donna Piedros
has been face TO face with a horrible
death more than once.
Her two feminine competitors are the
sisters Pretel, Lola and Angelica, who,

They were originally circus riders.
Their manager, being struck with their
equestrian ability, determined to make

Seville, where there is a school devoted
to the fine art of killing a bull. There
the two girls killed a stuffed bull three

were allowed TO practice on live bull.
From that they were graduated to the

historic causes. Il IS almost certain
that we owe agriculture to the Semites

ancient times an agricultural people.

A MUSICAL MOUSE.
Her Song Was Clear Enough TO BE
Heard Distinctly.

Her Song Was Clear Enough to BE
Heard Distinctly.
A good deal of skepticism prevails as
to the fact of there being singing mice,
but, having kept such q youngster for
four years, AN English gentleman is in
position to speak with authority.
She was caught in coal mine, was
brought to the surface and handed over
to the narrator. Thus commenced an
acquaintance which soon ripened into
intimacy, and which was only terminal
ed by her death. There was no doubt
about her song-e pretty bird-like
MARBLE, rising and falling alternately,
and of sufficient power to carry from the
top to the bottom of the house when all
was quiet.
In appearance she was just an or
binary house mouse, with the usual
wel-groomed whtsl1ers, the beady
black eyes and an elegant taperfng tail,
like the rest of her tribe 1t was her
song alone which singled her out from
the dumb millions of her fellows, and
this song she poured out almost with
out internissiun during her waking
hours.
The specufatipnS of the learned have
been exercised over this matter, and
some have thought that bronchitis, by
narrowing the air passages, produces
noisy wheeling, which enthusiastic
admirers have dtgnifierf as a song.
Others, with greater probability, have
suggested that every mouseis a singing
mouse, but that ON account of the dull
ness of our ears we hear only the bass
voiced vocalists. while the shriTler znelo-
dies of the great majority are unno-
ticed.
Everyone knows thai the squeak of
bat is not heard by everyone, and that
one party in conversation on q coun-
try walk may be almost deafened by
chorus OF bats, while the other may
hear nothing of the noise. Certain it is
that dissection reveals nothing alb
normal in the vocal apparatus of the
singing mouse. and doubtless a very
slight difference in the quality of the
vocal cords would result in a mouse
with voice sufficiently bass to bring
the sound within the compass of our
hearing powerS.-(folden DAYS.

An Autocratic Ruler Who Is Governed
by the VIII of His People.
The ameer of Afgbanistan, who was
at first suspected of completely with
the Indian border troubles, but whose
innocepce is now well established, is
ore of the most autolratic monarchs
in the world. Not the car of Russia
nor the sultan of Turkey is more abso-
lutte in authority, says the New York
Tribune. Yet he is, or makes himself,
curious!y subject to the will of the peo-
pie in some respects. a few years ago
he greatly desired TO visit England and
other European countries, and the Brit
ish government was anxious that he
should do so, but he did not venture to
do so without the consent of his people.
So he took a plebiscitum on the sub
ject. He sent a proclamation to every
village in his empire, telling what he
wanted TO do, and explaining the adj
vantages that would accrue to him and
10 the empire from such tour, and ask
ing the people to take vote on the sub
jet ard let him know the result. So
the subject was submitted TO universal
suffrage. After a few weeks the re-
enfns were all in and were counted,
and il WIS found.that a considerable ma
jority of the people were opposed to his
leaving the country. He was disap-
pointed, but acquiesced in the will of
the people, and stayed at home, send

Kentucky was formerly a part OF Vfr-

who took with them their slaves, their
agricultural habits and their military
spirit. With the consent of Virginia,
Kentucky was separated from that state
and admitted TO the union in 1872. The
people of this country have generally
e1aigTated in pretty straight lines to the
