Meanwhile new arenas -fof bull lighting are being built in many provincial cities. -
 The death roll. among the toreadors last year was seven, including Montes, the prince of matadors. whos9 3oss was almost a cause for national mourning. There seems however, to be no lack of bold and active young men ambi- tious for the glory of the bull ring, for the places of the seven victims were promptly filled by new men.
 Very few matadors came thfogh the years bull fighting unscathed, and the total nnber of bull fighters wounded was eighty-two.
 The nmber of bulls killed during the year was 2.9S0, while 2720 wretched horses were sacrificed with out even the bulls sporting chance"

SULTAN IS PHOTOGRAPHED.
For The First Time He Has Pictures
 Made.

MNMGs
 Constantinople, Feb. 15.-For the first time in his reign of thirty three years the Sultan has allowed himself to be photographed This is in direct opposition to the prejudices of his re- ligion. which excludes portraiture of any kind from the lawful forms of art.
 However Abdul Hamid managed to reconcile his conscience with facing the camera, and sent for the court pho tographer, Sami Bey. It was the Sul- tAn's pelasure that he should be pho- tographed during the Bairam ceremony of kissing the royal hand, in the Me- rassin Hall. Three cameras were used, and as the hall was rather gloomy, the pictures were taken by flash light.
 Twelve pictures were taken. show ing the whole Bairam ceremony with the Sultan in the centre. The Sultan possesses all the photographs. plates and all, and not even the Majestys entourage can obtain copies. It is be- lieved that the Sultan intends to pre- sent the pictures, which are large pno- tosraphs, measuring twelve inches by sixteen inches, to friendly sovereigns.

Throw 'Em Down Babies.

"I wonder" unused the young father. what there is in a baby's makeup that prompts him to drop things It Isn't really dropping. though-its throwing My baby Is good about sleeping and behaving when there is company. but everything he can snatch he immediately fiings to the floor. I've noticed and known a lot of others, too. who do the same thing. It's not only the Joy of throwing, but the delight In seeing somebody pick the stun up. Babies certainly seem to take . hend- ish delight in watching their fathers and mothers or nurses pick up the toys and other things which they throw out of their beds. carriages and chairs. My boy used to be quite pleas ed with rubber toy attached by a string to his carriage so that 1t just escaped the ground. He would grin and dangle it for hours. Now he yells as soon as he discovers it Is fastened, and the minute We give 1t to him loose, bang, 1t goes on to the ground. while he laughs aloud in his joy. There's probably reason. and the psycholo- gists will discover 1t some day."-Ex- change

The Stick For Wixea

In the old Anglo-Norman marriage ceremony the gentlewoman used to promise her husband to be buxom unto my gentil manne" The word huxom corresponds to the modern Ger man biegsam. meaning bending or pfi- ant. and the old English was "busk- am" all of which goes to show that things must have been very pleasantly ordered in the good old days that are dead and gone. According to the old English law. which Is still unreselnded In the statute book, the "gentii manne" was allowed 10 beat his gonie wife with a stick the diameter of which did not exceed a quarter of an ineh.-New York World.

 The audience roared with applause. The credit of the orator was saved. and the Jackson ticket won out in that county.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

An American family who had expe- rienced the difficulty of obtaining and retaining the services of a reliable kitchen girl while on visit to Ireland became acquainted with q promising young girl and brought her back home with them
 In few weeks she was installed in her new home and made acquainted with her new duties. Among other things she was told that 1t was GUS tomary when breakfast was ready to be served to ring the breakfast bell. Her "all right. num-. came in such a confident tone that her mistress gave the matter no further thought.
 The following morning at 6 o'clock the family were rudely awakened by the violent ringing of the front door bell Thinking that d messenger must be waiting with some unusual mes sage. the gentleman of the house did not stop to dress, but hurried down in his night robe and opened the door. The new kitchen girl awaited him. her face beaming with beautiful smile of triumph. Rowing low. she said in her rich Irish brogue, Breakfast is ready, sor."-Los Angeles Times.

Diamond Cuttinu.

It Is said that before the fourteenth century no one knew how to cut and polish dia monds They were esteemed for their marvellous hardness, but not greatly admired for beauty. There is tradition that a journeyman jeweler In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis covered the art of cutting diamond with diamond. But 1t Is probable that he only made some notable advance tn the art since associations of diamond cutters had existed in France and Flanders from the fourteenth century. Louis Van Berghem's most famous achievement was the cutting and pol ishing of huge diamond belonging to Charles the Bold. Charles was so de lighted with the result that he reward ed the artist literally and declared that the diamond would now serve him for q bedroom lamp This jewel which was found on Charles body aft CT the battle of Nancy. is still in ex- istenee and celebrated under the name of the Sancy diamond.-Youth's Com panion
