BULLFIGHTs IN PORTUGAL.
The Battles Are BtoodIess and the Con-
testanta Rarely Hurt.


testants Rarely Hurt.
The distressingly cruel treatment Of
animals so common in the Latin coun-
tries is almost entirely absent among
the Portuguese. and for this reason
their great national sport. the bull
fight, is really an enjoyable spectacle
to an American, writes Mrs. G. R. Mil
Ter in Leslie's Weekly.
In the Portuguese version the bull is
never killed. The horrible goring Of
horses-a feature of the Spanish fight
does not occur, for If horse was in
jured in a Portuguese performance
the rider would be Kissed from the
ring and very likely mobbed after
ward The men taking part are rarely
hurt, although the skin displayed is
much greater than that shown In the
Castilian style of the sport.
Occasionally they have burlesque
Spanish bullfght in Lisbon with the
cruelty eliminated. The horses ridden
by the picador are armored and cannot
be gored, and when the bull is to be
killed the matador strikes him at the
particular spot on the back OF his
neck, which in Spain means almost
instant death to the animal. Instead
of killing the bull, however. the Por-
tuguese matador's sword doubles up
after the fashion of the ones used by
the sword swallowers in our side
shows, and a red mark appears where
it has touched the animals skin, thus
showing the audience that the mata-
dor has been successful. The horses
and bull then run out Of the ring I'M

The next thing Is to dress properly for

pair Of loose old gloves. Carry from
the room all small objects which you
cannot lay on couches or chairs that

lay them aside. Then move out of the
room all small furniture which can be
taken from the room easily, busting 1t
carefully also. Now cover with the
busting sheets all the remaining pieces
Of furniture. using the smaller sheets
for the pictures. Remove rugs and the

or shreds of paper. for it is not wise
to do dry sweeping. The dust will fy

The arrows are crystal needles Of
oxalate Of lime. They are Of microscop-
ic Dimensions, and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
in the tissues Of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed in the field Of the microscope
when the bonds contained In drop
Of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes groups Of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left
it, 1t has been suggested that the
intense burning and pricking sensa-
lions experienced In chewing such
plants as those just mentioned are due
to the release and discharge Of these
crystal arrows when the plant tissues
