A FLORIDA D1sENCHANTMENr.
EiRhty-Horse Electric Power to Dc
the Work Formerly Done By
Six Mules.

Down in Florida a few years age
at one of the famous summer resorts
was a small street railroads. little
affair that did not amount to much
but was supposed by its proprietors
to be sufficient for all ordinary pur.
poses, relates the Electrical Age
One day in the course of discussion
the owners were accused of being
old fogies and behind the times.
"Why don't you get together and be
up to date?" they were asked. "You
really ought to have modern equip
ment for a place of this character,
instead of an old road of mule-drawn
cars that date back to the food"
After considerable deep meditation
and with many misgivings the road
was ordered changed to an electric
line, and an 80 horsepower equip
ment was ordered. The outfit ar
rived and was installed, but for some
reason failed to operate properly.
An outside expert was then called
in to examine the plant and locate
the trouble. At a special directors
meeting he reported that the rated
efficiency of the plant was 80 horse
power, and that 80 horsepower were
being used for the actual operation
of the road. At this one of the di-
rectors jumped up and exclaimed ex-
citedly: Eighty horsepower for
what we used to do with six mules?
I guess we had better go back to the
mules"

The Lions Of England.

Although at the time of the union

two are said to have been the badge of
the duchy of Normandy before the

She Was Always Contrary.

story the moral of which ought to

He wishes to have his own way and
so do l." According to the Russian
story, the cantankerous wife of a
long-suffering moujik fell into q
rapid rolling river and was swept
away. On hearing Of his loss the
agitated husband set off to search
for the body of his wife, but was
apparently so deranged by the ca
lamity that he started to go upstream
instead of down. Some of his neigh
bors had formed a search party to
help him and they tried to persuade
him that the body had been carried

PERU BARS BULL FIGHTS.
The Brutal Sport of Spanish Races
II Prohibited in the Land
of the Lncas.

Bull-fghting in South America il
probably ended forever. The last
spectacle of the kind, which occurred
at Lima, Peru, on February 2, was such
dreadful sight that even the crowd
which witnessed it and which has been
wont to glory in the bloody sport was
appalled,, reports the Philadelphia
North American.
It happened in the Plaza de Toros,
the great amphitheater founded by
Pizzaro two and a half centuries ago,
There were present 10000 men, women
and children, including the president
of the republic.
exhibitions of their art and.the most
famous of them, "Espada" Pepe-Hillo,
was to do the killing.
Amid a blaze of trumpets this fight
ing brigade. clad in the picturesque
garb of ancient Spain, entered the
arena. At signal the bull was let
in. He was black; fiery brute.
The toreros and picadors were Wild
ly cheered again and again as they
shook their scarlet capas in the en-
ragged animals face. Several of them
had narrow escapes from death. Two
had to vault over the stockade to es-
cape the charge of the maddened ani-
NAL. By this time the bull was tear
ing the ground in splendid rage. His
prosecutors were augmented by the
arrival of a small army of dart-throw-
ers, who added to his fury by pricking
him with their beribboned arrows.
One of their number, the chief of the
band, and a banderillo more daring
than the rest, even leaped upon his
back and, while balanced on his horns,
planted two arrows between his Shout
ders. The extraordinary feat was
greeted with. deafening applause.
There were other exhibitions of cour-
age, but as time wore on the audience
wearied of them and cried: snake
an end of it! Let him die!"
Then it was Pepe-Hillo's turn to dis
tinguish himself.
For awhile the great matador
fenced with his furious opponent in
scholarly, scientific fashion. Final
ly the crowd cried: kill him! Earn
your salary!" Then, when he tried to
comply, his master stroke missed the
mark. The sword, which should have
pierced the bulls heart, entered only
about six or seven inches and was then
tossed high in the air by the Infatuated
animal. Pepe-Hillo's life was saved
through dexterous move on his part.
The people were Disguised, and they
hurled at their erstwhile favorite such
epithets as 'cheat" and "poltroon."
For three or four minutes Pepe-Hillo,
driven by their taunts, slashed wildly
10 the left and right in vain attempt
to accomplish his purpose. Finally it
was seen that the bull was bleeding
from a wound in his side, which is
against all the sacred traditions of
bull-fghting.
At that the crowd stormed their in

free, she thought, she would have the
courage to descend by these, make {
circuitous route on the first floor, re
turning up the front stairs near the
other end of the house.
She tugged at her hair with al
her might hoping to loosen it ane
drag it out through the interstice by
main force, regardless of the pair
it caused her. But her efforts seemed
only to tighten the knot, and time
was precious.
Could she reach her scissors or
the dressing table? 1t would be q
sad sacrifice, but that was the only
way. With all her strength she
pulled herself for ward. Thank
heaven, the drawers moved, making
but little sound over the thick car.
pet. One more pull, and yet another
and her fingers touched the table;
a last final effort and the scissors
were in her hand.
GLORIOUS hair! I love It," The
thought flashed through her mind az
the shears did their work of destruc-
ton. Something like sob escaped
her, standing upright and free once
more.
Then she gathered her gown more
closely round her. With bare feet
and noiseless tread, and arms out
stretched in front of her, with ears
sharpened to catch the slightest
sound, she was outside the room,
and creeping as quickly as she dared
towards the friendly staircase.
How dark it was downstairs, how
hollow the empty passages, how
every crack resounded upon the
boards, and how her limbs shook as
she began to ascend once more!
At last the corridor was reached,
and there was no glimmer of light
nor sound of movement; SO far she
was safe. The man was in some
room, evidently seeking for the treas
ure. A few yards more and. she
would reach the door.
At that instant the merest flash
illuminated the end of the passage;
she was only just in time.
Her fingers grasped the handle;
thank God, the door was not locked.
With two steps she was beside the
bed and was shaking the sleeping
man by his shoulder.
"Bertram, Bertram, get up!" she
whispered.
"Good Lord, Bonnie, what are you
doing here?"
FLUSH, hush, it's a burglar, and he
has a revolver. For heavens sake,
take care"
Then, having accomplished her mis-
sion, from womanly weakness her
nerves gave way; she staggered
backwards with little cry, and sank
in heap on the floor.
A shot fired from Gen. Cal
nard's window had awakened the
household, and warned the burglars
that their presence was discovered.
Excited women rushed about in
side, whilst enterprising visitors and
men servants led by Gen. Calnard,
searched the gardens and avenues
outside; but the thieves had made
off and got clear away with some
booty, Jewels removed from some Of
the guests rooms while Debonnaire
was struggling to free her tresses
from the tolls.
The diamonds, however, were quite
safe. A few weeks later they served
to crown a radiant bride.
But as Debonnaire stood before a
mirror in the drawing-rOOm upon her
wedding day she surveyed her
shortened curly locks regretfully,
signing as her husband touched them
lovingly.

Mines of Wax.

In several parts of the world resin
Gus substance, called ozocerite, and
bearing considerable resemblance to
beeswax, is found, usually in connec-
ton with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and
Mexico, but ozocerite has, so far not
been discovered in sufficient quantities
to pay for mining anywhere EXCEPT in
the district of Roryslav, in Austrian
Galicia, and on an island on the west
coast of the Caspian sea. In mining
this mineral wax shafts are sunk until
a bed or NEST" of ozocerite is struck.
Then connecting galleries are driven.
There is considerable danger, and many
lives have been lost in consequence of
the sudden forcing up Of the soft wax
into the shafts by the enormous press
ure to which it is subjected. It il
used largely for manufacturing cere-
sin, which is employed, together with
beeswax, for making wax candles, as
well as in the manufacture of phono-
graphic cylinders, and for many sim.
liar purposes.-Brooklyn Citizen.
