Bulllghters Afraid of Cows.

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 a female animal has moth
ing whatever to do with it. The fact Is
that the average toreador Is sincerely
afraid Of a 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 war
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 hulltighter
is only q feeble mimic. If these cheap
idols of the Spanish %populace would
face young and active wild cows which
had lust been robbed Of their calves,
they might perhaps fOrestall the butch
er, but they would, at any rate, do
something to carr their laurels.-Pear-
sons.

How Hard Bees Work.

Darwin after close observation foun(
that a bee would often visit rs many
as 81 flowers in the course of n minute
though with other plants in which the
honey was difficult to extract the aver
age would be as low rs seven. Strik
ing q mean between these two figures
one may say that an ordinary working
bee visits 10 flowers Il minute. or 30t
an hour. Considering the late hours tC
which a bee works. it is probably NJ
e~Xaggeration to say that it is busy fol-
eight hours a day. allowing for inter
walls Of rest. This would make it visit
100 flowers a day. or 64S.0o0 in a pc
riod of six months.
Mr.. 4. S. Wilson in a recen paper
showed the enormous amount Of labor
gone through by bees in making ever
a small quantity of honey. He found
that approximately i2o heads Of rec
clover yield II grains of sugar, or 1o5.
600 heads about two pounds. AS eacl
head contains some 60 iorets. it fol
lows that 100000 distinct flower
tubes must be sucked in order to OBJ.
tain two pounds of sugar. Now. honey
contains. roughly speaking. - per cent
of sugar; therefore the bees must make
in round numbers. 2.5OO.OOO visits fol-
one pound of honey.

Question Is Unanswered.

A certain grocer on the hill has for
some days been looking for the owner
of a voice that claimed his attention at
the telephone n busy morning. When
he finds the man. the meeting will fur
nish material for an interesting item.
and the following dialogue explains it.
self:
The VQice-Hello, there! Is that you,
Charles?
Groceries.
The volce-Have you any salt fish?
Groceries.
The voice-Is It fresh?
Groceries: came in this morning.
The Voice-Cod OF pollock?
Grocer-Got both. Which do you
want?
The voice-Well. l don't know. Is
the pollock good and dry?
Groceries.
The voice-Well. why don't you give
1t a drink. then?
At this point the grocer brought the
colloquy to a sudden termination with
a remark that would be out Of place in
polite society and therefore unit for
publication.-Portland (Or.) Argus.

Mice nm Food In China.

The first thing which strikes the
traveller in China upon his entrance in
TO any of the many cities of the Celes-
tial empire is the strings Of dried mice
which hang from the roofs of the
houses suspended by their tails. just as
sausagos are hung in front of butcher
shops In France.
The Chinese hunt these mice with a
long, sharp pointed knife, which they
plunge into tue animals Threats. Then
the mice are suspended by the tails un-
til the blood has dripped out, when
they arc skinned. drawn and smoked.
Another favorite dish with the Chi
nese is dogs feet. The feet Of black
dogs are considered more of a delicacy
than those of any other color, and
white dogs are rejected as being taste
less. Dogs fat, prepared in a special
manner, is locked upon as a repast fit
for a king.

9Othern's Recitation.

Sir Edward Itussell knew e. A. Soth-
ern, the actor. intimately and in his
book, ''That Reminds Me-" tells many
stories of him.
He was dining at Portsmouth or
somewhere at a regimental mess to
which the officers had asked him with
every show Of the highest admiration
and with no appearance of social SUI
periority. After dinner. as the party
sat at wine, n Of the officers asked
Sothern to give them a recitation. Now,
Sothern abominated that kind of thing.
lie wouldn't tolerate being treated
as an entertainer when he was by way
of being treated as a gentleman. He
coldly declined. They pressed him.
He holly declined. Still they pressed
him. He expressed his feelings. Per-
haps the officers were a little affected
by wine. At all events they persist
ed. They would take no denial.
At last he said in a manner which
showed that he was nettled. but yet
yielding: "Well. If you won't let me
off I must. III give you the dinner
scene from David Garrick.'"
He did. He had never acted it bet
ter. They were delighted until. spring
ing to his feet. he made his wild. tipsy
exit. just ACHE did Oh the stage. and
dragged tile cloth off the table and
with it all the regiments priced des-
sert china and dccanters and glasses,
etc. Great was the smash. The actor
did not wait to be %applauded or to i'm
prove the occasion. The lesson was. in
deed. a rough one, and probably only a
man with some %roughness in his dar-
ing humor would have given 1t. but 1t
was quite deserved.

(SOfnU IN Red In India.

Going to bed in India is a very diff
ferent process from going to bed at
home. To begin with, it is a far less
formal process. There is no shutting
the door. no cutting yourself off from
the outer world. no going up stairs
and finally no getting into bed. You
merely lie down on your bed. which.
with it's bedding, Is so simple as to be
worth describing. The bed is a wooden
frame with webbing laced across it,
and each bed has a thin cotton mat

and two pillows go to each bed. That's
