College athletics come high. For
example, it cost the Cornell Athletic
Association $50, TILT for the year end
ihg Sept. 1, 1905, to run the football
crew, track, baseball and lacrosse
teams, and the total receipts were $685.
759.GS, showing net loss of S951.49. 1t
is said that Cornell's athletics have
been run cheaper, probably, than any
of the larger colleges have been, and
with the exception of football, where
$4,000 was made, none of the major
branches of athletics have been self
supporting.

The admirers of Clark Russell. the
most successful of sea writer's, will re-
greet to hear that he has decided to
drop his fascinating pen, having near
ly reached three score-and-ten, and be-
ing well fixed financially. The sea
romance at its best, it can be justly
said, was created by Mr.. Russell.
His first sea novel, 1.-The Wreck of
the Grosvenor," was published anony-
mously, and appeared in this country
in the once we'll known brown paper
covers of the Harper's Brothers. The
writer picked up one of the first copies
received in Washington, D. c., book
store, attracted by the title, and was
asked by the proprietor, Mr.. Beals,
for report as to its quality. The re-
port was, as may be imagined, eulogistic
in the extreme, and the later books
by Mr.. Russell are no less attractive to
the many who enjoy good story of
the sea.

 The civil war, of course, ~ld not have a monopoly of women soldiers. There have been female warriors in all countries from Boadicea and Joan of Arc to the
 amazon of the Cossacks," who startled the world at Mukden. Among the hun dreds of such examples few of special interest may be cited.
 There was English Moll (Mary Ambree), who, in 1534. headed 1000 men against the Prince of Parma and sustained an un- equal combat with 3OOO Spaniards for seven hours, challenging any three Spaniards to try their powers against her single arm
 There was valiant James Gray (Hanna SnelD, a hoosier's daughter who fought in the war of the Spanish succession, re- ceived innumerable wounds, was pen stoned by Queen Anne and at her death was buried with full military honors in the cemetery of Chelsea hosiptal.
 There was hardy Mrs Christian Davis, trooper of the Scots Grays. an Irish Anna zon, who was wounded at Families. And there was Able Seaman Rebecca Ann Johnstone who fought and died on one of Nelson's ships.
 There was Mime. Drucourt, who valiant ly withstood the siege of Louisburg in Cape breton Q75S). Day and night she was to be found on the ramparts, cheer ing the soldiers and herself loading and firing the guns

TRAITS OF FIGHTING BULLS.
Easily Managed When Massed To
 qether-Some Have Evil Eye.

From the the Nineteenth Century.
 In Spain accidents to bull fighters are of frequent occurrence. and it Is interest ing to see the hero of many fights swing into the chapel attached to the bull ring and kneel before the erfigy of the Virgin Mary before entering the arena.
 Bull fighting Is the national pastime Boys play at 1t in the gutters, and there are bull fights for amateurs all over the country. at which only two-year-old bulls are used, and young anl old descend into the arena Astounding Is the enthusiasm.
 Interesting, too, is the psychology of bulls. When herded together they are docile enough, and it is picturesque sight to see the bulls brought into the paddock prior to the fight, through the streets of the city when all are sleeping. COW trained to the business. with bell around her neck, is all that Is necessary, and the bulls follows quietly behind her. In the plains where the bulls are reared men on horses manage ther-quite easily as long as they are massed together. Three bulls in the ring together would be

WOMEN AS SOLDIERS.
Amazons of Many Countries Who
 Have Done Valiant Service.

There were thousands of women soldiers
 in the French revolution. After the fall of the .,astile a battalian of young women took up arms under the name of Amazons and renoered yeoman service, says the London Express. Jeanne Lacombe, come dienne, forsook the stage for the field. Theresa rigueur saw four horses die un- der her in battle. Other Amazons were pensioned by Napoleon and one was dec orated with the legion of honor.
 The amazon of the Cossacks" is the daughter of Vladivostok merchant A skilled horsewoman and rifle shot. she distinguished herself greatly in the Russo Japanese war and at the beginning of the present year she was made ward of the CZar.

Oft-times. especially in the quiet country places, her social standing was as good as that of anybody else. Usually she was one of a grown family of girls; there was plenty of help at her house and so she came and assisted our mother at our house. In their hours of ease, mother and she discussed the neighborhood gossip to- gether.
 The hired girl' had her beau, neigh bor's stolid. sheepish son. and much was , she joked about him. and finally, after years of faithful and friendly servitude. she married him.

 The American civil war bred a whole corps of women soldiers. Many women served throughout tho entire war without their sex being discovered by olncers or comrades.
 Pauline Cushman, an actress, was cap tured in male uniform by the Confederate and was rescued by her companions just as she was about to be hanged as a spy. Pauline was so successful in the field that for her faithful services there was conferred upon her the rank of major.
 Still more successful was Bridget Dan vers, known as Irish Biddy." Bridget performed wonders as nurse, hospital steward, surgeon, vivandiere and private soldier. In one battle she had three horses killed under her. The war did not give Bridget her fill of fighting. so she after ward crossed the Rockies and engaged in campaigns against the Indians.
 A woman known as Frank Thompson carried messages through shot and shell at Fredericksburg disguised as an orderly. Her name did not transpire till twenty years after, when she obtained a pension and was admitted to the Grand Army of the Republic.
 A faithful spouse who refused to be parted from her husband was Mrs. Key holds wife of Captain Reynolds. Com- pany A, Seventeenth Illinois regiment She rode at his side. in male attire, through almost the entire campaign.
 There was never a time when this heroic and sacrificing little woman flnched or hesltated in time of battle or on long marches. On the field after a conflic, she would go about ministering to the sick and dying. and at last she became widely known as the Angel of the Regl- ment. Like Pauline Cushman, she eventu. lilly received commission as major in the army.

useless for a fight. but each bull sepa- rately will fight to the death
 Bulls literally see red Were it not that bull will always dash at anything red the men in the ring would have no chance whatever. Occasionally bulls have what is called the evil eye. and remain indiffer- ent to the red capa extended to them, and then the list of casualties is generally high.
 Sometimes a bull which has shown pro- dlgious power and fight is pardoned by the populace. A COW, kept for the pur- pose, is then sent into the arena, and at sight of her the bull forgets man and the fury of the battle and gently trots behind to the paddock, as meek as any heifer
 Many are the curiostes about bulls, which sometimes refuse to attack a par ticular horse, and when a man is down, motionless, disdain even to paw him Some bulls make instinctively for one man and will chase him all around the ring, leaping the barrier if he vaults over 1t. and if he fails will kneel upon hls body and gore him to shreds There is no mercy in bulls, and none is shown in them.
