Youth's Ambition in Mexico.

In Mexico 1t is the ambition Of every
youth to become bull-fghter. In
their plays boys there mimic the bull,
fighters. They use their shawls as
bandoras, sticks as pixies. and a fat
piece Of wood as a sword. One boy
acts as the bull and the others act the
parts Of the picadores. banderilleros
and matadores. When they grow old.
er they participate In amateur bull
fights. In the country towns these are
common. Blooded bulls are used, but
their horns are sawed of, and the lads,
rigged out in all the finery Of a real
matadore, enter the ring, tease the bull,
and carry out all the performances ex-
cept the slaughter. The government
forbids that At these amateur fights
often one Of the lads is injured. If he
recovers he is hero; If he dies-oh,
well, he was brave.-Augusta ChrOni-
Gle.

She was discovered and eXtricated in Sep

is to have the curfew? At the bells

those who must be sleepless guarding
the great nation.
HISTORY OF THE CURFEw.
The curfew was first known in Eng
land as the couvre-feu. or cover the
fire" 1t was then called the "cover-fire
bell.' and it was signal to put out the
fires.
A bell tolled at evening for the inhab-
itants to cover fires, extinguish lights
and retire to rest. 1t was instituted in
England by William the Conqueror as
an arbitrary bit Of tyranny. Thompson
tells us:
The shivering wretches at curfew sound
Detected sank into their beds.
Previous to that time, however, it was
known in England and on the continent,
and was rung even as far back as the
days of King Alfred. But it was then
pleasant summons, cheerfully obeyed.
1t had been neglected for long time,
