Lord Devon's property was greatly
impoverished by the twelfth earl, who
squandered nearly all his fortune and
terribly embarrassed the entailed
property. He was addicted to a most
peculiar form Of gambling, namely,
spider racing, which he played with
the last Marquis of Hastings and the
eighth Duke Of Bedford. Each player
selected a spider, which was placed on
the table, and then the latter was
gently heated from underneath. The
warmth caused the insects to run, and
the spider which got to the edge first
won. But spiders are curious crea-
lures, and 1t would frequently happen
that a spider which was near the edge
and looked like winning would dou-
ble hack, traverse the table In all d.
rections and lose its hacker the thou
sands Of pounds SO nearly won. Lord
Devon, Lord Hastings and the Duke Of
Bedford each Of them squandered
enormous sums on this game. which
contributed in no small degree to the
ruin Of the two former.-New' York

the colony make or grow everything

Their wages are hours and half hours
These they sometimes save up till they
have q week in hand and thep 60 of

chair or table he pays for 1t in hours
Of work. which are deducted from the
balance to his credit. Three men went
on up the river in a canoe for a three

at Asuncion for a pound and came
home overland in ten days, lodged in
the best houses in the villages on the

One Of the Nest Thrilling incidents Of
the Bull Ring.
The famous Spanish tOfeadOr Reverte
figured In one Of the most thrilling
incidents ever witnessed in the arena.
1t was at Bayonne. After disposing Of
two bulls Reverte had twice plunged
his sword into third Of great strength
and ferocity. and as the beast contin-
ued careering wildly the spectators be-
gan to hiss Reverte for bungling.
Wounded to the very quick Of his
pride, the Spaniard shouted. The bull
Is slain!" and. throwing aside his
sword, sank on one knee with folded
arms In the middle Of the ring. He
was right. but he had not allowed for
the margin Of accident. The wounded
beast charged full upon him. but the
matadOr, splendid to the last. knelt
motionless as q statue. while the spec
tators held their breath in horri6ed
suspense. Reaching his victim. the
bull literally bounded at him. and as
he sprang he sank in death. with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge Of
the head that drove q horn into the
thigh Of the kneelins man and laid
bare the bone from the knee to the
Joint. Still Reverte never ninched. but
remained kneeling. exultant in victory.
but calmly contemptuous Of applause.

his RrjevOus wound.
