FIGHTING NATURE.
What On. Man.s Patient Effort wruno
From 6 Desert In France.


From 6 Desert In France.
In the southwest of France, between
the rivers Adour and Garonne, are
long stretches Of pine woods, green
and cool.
Where these pines now stand was q
barren waste in the middle Of the last
century. Sun and wind We'd with each
other in making the land drier and
dustier. Over the stormy bay Of Bis
cay came winds that set up great
sandstorms and sometimes buried
whole villages. The whole region was
one Of hopelessness and despair. Fate
was against It,
acknowledged fate only ms something
to he overcome This man, one Bre-
monitor. was IN inspector of roads,
He began fencing in the desert. He
built fence and behind 1t planted
broom seeds. Behind the broom seeds
he put seeds Of the pine. The fence
protected the broom seeds. and the
broom grew. Then the broom IN its
turn afforded shelter to the delicate
pine shoots.
Soon the pines spread. and their
tough roots bound the sandy soil to-
gether. Tho arst step was accomplish
ed. Then canals were maie to drain
the wet parts and carry water is the
dry.
Thus did one man by patient effort
turn dreary desert into home for
an Industrious and healthy population.
II was an instance of triumph over
fate.-New York Tribune.

A BRAVE ToREADoR.
Ono Of the Most Thrilling Incidents Of
the Bull Ring.

Ono Of the Most Thrilling Incidents Of
the Bull Ring.
The famous Spanish toreador 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 MS 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. 1.-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
matndor, splendid to the last. knelt
motionless as statue. while the spec
tators held their breath In Mortified
suspense. Reaching his victim. the
bull literally bounded at him. and us
he sprang he sank In death. with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge of
the head that drove Il horn into the
thigh of the kneeling man aud laid
bare the bone from the knee to the
Joint. Still Rcvcrte never flinched. but
remained kneeling, eXultant In victory.
but calmly contemptuous of applause,
till he was carried away to heal him of
his grievous wound.

Tho eu.ines. Of Life.

Life Is q business we are all apt to
mismanage. either living recklessly
from day to day or suffering ourselves
to be guiled out of our moments by the
inanities Of custom. We should de-
spise Il man who gave as little activity
and forethought to the conduct OF any
other business. But In this. which is
the one thing Of all others. since 1t
contains them all. we cannot see the
forest for the trees. One brief In
preston obliterates another. There Is
something stupefying in the recurrence
1T unimportant things. and 1t is only
on rnre r-ovocntions that we can rise
{" tnke an outlook beyond daily con
Germs and comprehend the narrow lin
its and great possibilities Of our exist
ence.-Isobert Louis Stevenson.
