During the middle ages the whole
Christmas season was given up to revels
and jollity, in which eating and drinking
had a prominent part The Saxon in
st1nct of our English ancestors led them
to make of every holiday an occasion for
feasting. Plenty to eat and to drink
was their Idea of festival, no matter
how sacred might be its associations. On
Christmas they not only lined their
stomachs with good capon. as did
Shakespeare's justice, but stuffed them
selves with all sorts of rich, nourishine
food and strongly compounded puddings

..THE QUEEN OF vALoR."
rhe Daring Feat Of q Young Spanish
Woman, Donna Tnncredn, In
the Bull Ring.

A few weeks ago there appeared
some alluring advertisements which
were especially attractive to those
Parisians who love excitement ana
who had their appetite for such
things tickled by the races OF the
Rue Pergolese, writes the Paris cor.
respondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The attraction this time was
n woman, Donna Tancreda, who,
made up to resemble statue, was
to await. motionless in the arena, the
assault ofSthe bull, and to conquer it
by her immobility. At the last mo-
ment this performance. which was to
have taken place ut Enghion, was
forbidden. 1t did, however, take
place in Roubaix. Here is an account
of what happened:
At signal given from the presi-
dent, the doors of the arena opened
ard a magnificent carriage appeared
oil draped in red velvet fringed with
gold. In this carriage sat Senorita
Mercedes del Barte, alias Donna Tan
creda.
"The Queen of valor" is dressed
completely in white. Her face and
her hair are powdered. The carriage
stops just in front of the presiding
party, and she gets out smiling ana
bowling, and throws off her mantle,
talking with the ushers while the
attendants arrange in the middle OF
the arena q pedestal of wood about
two feet high. When all is ready the
impressario addresses the public, and
begs them to observe the most rig
orous silence during the perform
ance: this is Indispensable. Then
Donna Tancreda mounts the pedes-
tai. helped by the matadors. She
crosses her arms and faces the door
from which the bull will emerge. The
woman Hooks exactly like n marble
statue.
The arena is empty. All the rshers
have disappeared behind the bar
riers and shelters. The deepest sic
lence reiens in the vast amphithea-
ter. Half minute passes thus.
Then the door opens, and one sees
in the shadow the enormous head OF
the bull Gitano. The spectators hard
ly breathe. Many of the women
cover their eyes with their hands. 1t
is a terrible moment. The bull is
superb animal. with powerful neck,
and long, straight horns. He raises
his head, looks around, and at once
bounds upon the white statue.
1t is with the greatest difficulty
that one can restrain q cry of hor-
ror, ones sensations are too painful,
and a long endurance of such emo
tion would be unbparable. Donna
Tancreda is as rigid as marble. The
least movement would be fatal to
her.
The bull starts back. looks at his
strange adversary, and then with q
terrible bound rushes up to the Pc
destal. Anxiety is ut it's height. But
once more the bull stops short with
out striking. He draws back few
feet, and, taking advantage of this,
Donna Tancreda jumps down and
rushes behind screen, while the
ushers draw off the bull. The peo-
pie breathe arain. A long sigh es-
capes from all. and then thunders of
applause are heard, and 'the Queen
of valor" gets tremendous oya-
ton.
Donna Tancreda, who was born in
Paris. has appeared with success ut
Barcelona, Valencia, CASTLE, Madrid,
Seville, and for the first time in
France at Roubaix.

GOLD m FIFTH PLACE.
Coal and Iron Far In the Lead Of American
Mineral Products Last Year-Some
interesting Figures.

New York, June 29.-The Engineer
ing and Mining Journal publishes the
full estimates of metal and mineral
/ output for the United States in 1900.
The table shows that the total value
at the place of production of the out
put was $1,365, 60s.5s3, as compared
with $1,21s,214,637 in 1899, gain of
s147,393,945 for the year. OF these
sums, which are without precedent in
the history of the mineral industry,
ores and minerals contributed $672,-
900, 40 in 1900 and $5s7, PCS, 1913 in 1899;
metals, $524. 49,, 533 in 1900 and $780,
O57,320 in 1899; secondary products,
S72, 720, sos in 1900 and $64,416,979 in
1899, while the value of metals smelt-
ed or refined from foreign material
was SOC, 364, 939 in 1900 and $40, All, $40
in 1899.
The chief item of our great mineral
production, in quantity, value and
economic Importance, was coal, with
the production in 1900 of 6S,315, 431
short tons, an increase of 16,210,044
tons or six per cent. over 1899. Pig
iron was second in order of values, as

total in 1900 was 1858, 265 long tons,
with an approximate value of $273, 110s
322. These two products and
iron-are giving the United States the
economic leadership in the world, and
will enable the nation to hold that
place. In point of value copper comes
third on list, its production last year
being Coz, s32.a05 pounds, with value
Of S97,755. 449. The increase over 1899
was comparatively small. Gold holds
only the fifth place, with total value
of $7S,1 sc, 674--less than one-fourth Of
the value of coal, or one-third of that
of pig iron. 1t was nearly approached
in value by Itt1 oleum, with total Of
$74,246.582; and was exceeded by clay
products with total of 7s,704, 76S.
Few people would suppose that the
varied clay products-brick, tile, pipe
and the like exceeded in their total

such is the fact. The production of

Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G.
G. Jones, of Burdett, and one of the
most popular ladies in Hodgeman
County, has been a martyr to head
ache for years. 1t has made her life
continual misery to her. She suf-

and had every symptom of Kidney
and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is as well as any lady
in the state.
This remarkable change was due
entirely, to a remedy recently intro
ducsd here. It is called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. and many people claim it to
be an infalible cure Tor Kidney Dis

Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid

dose she grew better. In week her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days Of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be

mand for these pills has increased

Good Sense and Good Law

surance case has escaped much public
attention. Some life insurance policies
contain an anti-suicide clause, render
ing the contract void whether the per-
son of the second part is sane or in
sane when he commits suicide. The
court holds that this agreement is
without effect, as it is not possible
for sane man to agree not to do
certain things-if he becomes insane.
This is good sense and ought to b
