A BRAVE TOREADOR.
One Of tho Most Thrilling Incidents Of
the Bull Ring.

One Of tho 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 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 a statue, while the spec
tators held their breath in Mortified
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 a horn into the
thigh of the kneeling man and laid
bare the bone from the knee to the
joint. Still Reverte never flinched, but
remained kneeling. exultant in victory.
but calmly contemptucus Of applause,
till he was carried away to heal him of
his grievous wound.

Said to Be the Largest Breadmskins
Concern In the World.
The largest bakery In the world Is
located I'm Essen, Prussia, the home OF
the great Krupp gun factory. II is a
vast building, in which seventy work
men, divided into two shifts, work
night and day. Everything is done by
machinery, says the London Post. A
screw turns increasingly a kneading
trough, into which are poured some
water and ten sacks of -four of 200
pounds each.
This machine makes about 10000
pounds of bread each day, In the shape
Of $4,000 small loaves and $4,000 large
loaves, produced by $50 sacks Of -four
Of 200 pounds each. All the operations
of breadmaking are performed in this
colossal bakery The wheat arrives
there, is cleaned, ground and brought
automatically to the kneading trough
by a series of rising and descending
pipes.
There are thirty-six double ovens,
and the workmen who watch over the
baking of the bread earn from to
10 cents an hour, making an average
of 90 cents a day for eleven hours
on duty. They have coffee and bread
free; also the use of bathroom, for
they are required to keep themselves
spotlessly clean and must wash their
hands eight times day.

To breathe properly take deep,
slow breath, another and another. Put
both the hands on your ribs and see
how they expand and contract rs you
breathe in and out. Put one hand on
the low ribs in front and the other
opposite it on the back. Feel how the
back swells as you breathe. There is
a powerful muscle called the dia-
phragm that divides the chest from
the abdomen. As the heart and lungs
are in the chest, the diaphragm may
be called the floor Of the chest. 1t Is
fastened to the backbone the ribs and
the sternum, or breastbone. And when
people speak of diaphragmatic breath
ing they mean just what we are doing
now-filling the lungs with air and
emptying them by the expansion and
contraction.-Boston Herald.

In a field of an area of one kllometer

This plantation produces daily 3S5,000

"I'll explain that matter to you. The
two lower corners Of a ships sail are
held taut by two ropes, one called a
tack and another called a sheet. The
tack is always kept very tight. but
the sheet is loosened according to the
wind. and the looser the sheet Is the
more freely the sail swings. If the
sail is quite free its sheet is said to
be in the wind Now. suppose that
all three Of a ships sails were quite
free. They would then ny about very
