nullarht.r. AfraIa 81 cow,

1t will probably not surprise our
readers to hear that most Spanish bull
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may, however, astonish
them A sportsmanlike objection to
prosecuting female animal has moth
ing whatever to do with It. The fact Is
that the average toreador Is sincerely
afraid Of COW.
And he has good reason. The cows Of
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker In their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are
more pointed and more formidable.
They do not lower their heads to the
ground. shut their eyes and charge like
a locomotive upon the rails. but are
alert and ready to follow every move
ment of their prosecutors. Their waD-
like tactics have been adapted not to
blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the
strategy Of active and cunning beasts
of prey, OF which the human bulifghter
Is only a feeble mimic. IL these cheap
idols Of the Spanish populace would
face young and active wild cows which
had Just been robbed Of their calves.

Not long ago / visited the town Of
Novara, in northern Italy. There in a
wheatfield the farmers have plowed
up skulls OF men until they have piled
up pyramid 10 or u feet high. Over
this pyramid some one has built can
opy to keep of the rain. These were
the skulls of young men Of Savoy, Sar-
DINA and Austria-men of 10 to IS
years of age, peasants from the farms
and workmen from the shops-who
met at Novara to kill each other over
a matter in which they had very little
concern.
Further on Frenchmen, Austrians
and Italians fell together at Magenta,
the hue of the blood that flowed out
under the olive trees. Go over Italy
as you will there is scarcely a spot not
crimsOned by the blood of France,
scarcely a railway station without its
pile Of French skulls. You can trace
them across to Egypt, to the foot Of
the pyramids. You will find them in
Germany-at Jena and Leipsic, at Lut-
zen and Bautzen and Austerlitz. You
will find them in Russia at Moscow,
in Belgium at Waterloo. "a boy can
stop a bullet as well as a man." said
Napoleon. And with the rest are the
skulls and bones of boys "ere evening
to be trodden like the rass."-Popular

Queer Turkish Fish.

April 10 is the great fete day Of "Ba-
lukli," or place of fishes. This is a
small church situated outside the walls
of COnstantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest of Constantinople by the Turks.
AT the time Of the invasion, however, a
monk was cooking some fish there
when a messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered Constantl-
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. As he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for its healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the
Fishes" and on this day regular pill
grimage takes place from all parts, Of
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
er, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth of the story is proved
by the presence in large marble lined
tank in the church of the lineal de-
scendants Of the half cooked fish. Any
one who does not believe has only to
look in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their ease.

General Daniel Sickles told a story
Illustrating the tenderness or President
LincOln's heart as well as his faith in
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash

at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, Lincoln wept like a child"

room and prayed as 1 never prayed be-
fore. 1 told God that If we were to

never had doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who

phetic mood today, Sickles, and 1 say
that you will get we'll"
''The doctors do not say So"
81 don't care, Sickles, you will get
we'll" persisted the president.
And that afternoon, General Siekles
goes on to say, :. telegram was receiv-
ed from General Grant announcing the
fall Of Vieksburg. His own recovery
soon followed.

A person can easily determine with
one indulgence whether or not open
air bathing is hurtful to him. II cir
culatiOn is speedily restored after he
has left the water, if his skin is well
Redeemed and he is soon well warmed
Up and as strong and ''lively" as when
he took his first plunge, then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. If, on the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for Is
or 20 minutes, Notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for
an hour OF more afterward he is weak,
dull and languid, then he may be toler-
ably certain that there is something
wrong with him which forbids cold

Matrimopy In Cilbert I.Iana,-

Women Of the Gilbert islands being
merely regarded as cattle or anysother
property, writes Arthur Inkersley in
The Overland Monthly, the matrimonl-
al knot is easily tied and just as easily
united. If a man fancies a girl, he
seizes her by the hair OF the head,
wherever she may be, despite her pro-
testatiOns. and drags her away to his
home. Her resistance is not often seri-
Gus, the pretense of refusal being due
to the coquettishness inherent in the
sex. When the couple reach the house
of the groom. a wedding feast is fur
'nished forthwith, to which all the Inn
mediate friends Of the bride and BRIDE
groom are invited. But an acceptance
of the invitation implies the contribu-
ton of some viands to the entertain
ment. Matrimony is attended by no
further ceremony than this. When q
husband grows weary of bis wife, he
simply orders her to leave him. and IL
she does not he turns her out of doors.
