MartelIo Towers In England,

Whatever may have been the defen-
sive value Of martello towers a. century
ago it has entirely evaporated now.
There are good many of them on the
coasts of Essex, Suffolk, Kent and Sus-
sex. These massive round towers, some
40 feet high, were regarded as and very
likely were splendid defenses at the
time they were erected, but they have
long been used only for coastguard pur-
poses Their name is derived from the
Italian coast towers which were erected
as a protection against pirates. Warn
ing that suspicious craft was in sight
was given by striking bell with
martello or hammer 1t was the power
full defense made in 1904 by LIE Teller
at the tower Of Mortella with only SO
men against a simultaneous sea and
land attack, led by Lord Hood and Ma
jor General Dundas, which brought
them into favor in this country It was
thought that they would be splendid
defense against "Boney." - London

The Brave Ruiz. the Cruel spaniard.


The trumpet sounds again, and the
espada takes his sword and his muleta
and goes out for the last scene. This,
which ought to be, is not always the
real climax The bull is often by this
time tired, has had enough of the sport,
leaps at the barrier, trying to get out.
He is tired Of running after red rags,
and he brushes them aside contemptu-
ously He can scarcely be got to show
animation enough to be decently killed.
But one bnll that I saw was splendidly
savage and fought almost to the last,
running about the arena with the sword
between his shoulders, and that great
red line broadening down each side Of
his neck on the black, like a deep layer
of red paint, one tricks oneself into
thinking.
He carried two swords in his neck
and still fought. When at last he, too,
got weary he went and knelt down
before the door by which he had enter
ed and would fight no more. But they
went up to him from outside the bar
rier and drew the swords out of him,
and he got to his feet again and stood
to be killed. Saturday Review.

A Haunted House.

~ haUhteu nOubes
"''The haunted house in this case, +"
said the old college man, twas occupied
by q very estimable and intelligent
gentleman. He did not believe in
ghosts, but two nights had made him
look old and careworn, and there were
certainly loud, strange and. startling
noises in his attic. They would continue
right up to the time that some one en-
tered the haunted room, but the open
ing of the door was the signal for a
most oppressive silence.
''Half dozen Of us college fellows
asked permission to investigate, and it
was gladly granted. We waited till we
heard the noise, and 1 assure you that
there was plenty Of it. 1t continued I'm
til we had crept mp stairs. bnt ceased
when we entered the attic. We waited
there without result till big Hicks of
the football team, carried out q plan.
We closed the slide to the dark lantern,
slammed the door noisily, as though
leaving, and then settled down to wait.
Presently the noise began. We flashed
the light in its direction, and there was
a jug rolling back and forth rapidly.
the handle striking the floor with a
loud thud.
'Must be spirits in that jug.
laughed big Hicks, but his laugh was a
tremolQ. Well see, and he let go with
one of his famous kicks that shattered
the uncanny vessel. Then every fellow
let out yell and jumped as though
trying to knock hole in the roof A
rat had crawled into tho jug and had
been frantically trying to get out. -,
