wild horse race, Bert Rhoades.
The real sensation of the entertain
ment proved to be the attepmts to ride
the bucking bull which punished his
riders far more than the worst horse
could. Dick Upton was the first man
up and received one of the greatest sur
prises of his life. Those who saw the
exhibition say that his flight through
the air had the aeroplane man beat a
mile. This ride resulted in the only ac-
cident of any seriousness during the
celebration. The bull threw up his
head and struck his rider on the head
with his stubs of horns. The result was
that Mr.. Upton came home with one
eye in bandages.
After Upton failure to ride the
bull Lonnie Collins decided that the
Upton method was wrong and that he
wanted to try his hand. He tried, and
as result made an excellent lot of
motion picture film, but he couldn t
ride the bull. This was left for Sun
down, the Kamiah Indian, to do, and
he did it to finish Saturday. Local
riders say that the Indian was by far
the best rider at Grangeville and that
he can ride all around anyone who took
part there.

Hats Morn at Table.

Seventeenth century etiquette pre-
scribed that hats should be worn at
table. 1.-THE Rules of Civility. or Ger
tain Ways of Department" published
in 1873. gives some directions on this
point. Under the supposition that "a
person of quality detains you to dine
with him" it is laid down that when
the person invited is seated he must
keep himself uncovered till the rest
sit down and the person of quality has
put on his hat. If the person of
honor drinks health to you, you must
be sure to be uncovered. If he speaks
to you, you must likewise be uncov-
cred till you have answered him. If
one rises from the table before the
rest he must pull off his hat
A trace of this etiquette fingers in
the house of commons. where a mem
Der is always allowed to wear his hat
only when seated.-London Graphic.

of whole pigs, Whole oxen and so on
'Pigge" was a very fashionable dish
and was cooked in many ways Here
is a recipe from DIVERSE Baked

book: ITO make a Pigg Pye: Take a

die and take out the bones, season it
with pepper, salt. cloves and mace aud
nutmegs. Chop sweet herbs fine with
the yolkes of two or three eggs and
some plump'd currant. Then lay the
one half of the pigg into the pye, and
the herbs and currants and salt over
it and some butter. Then lay the 9th
er half of the pigg on top of thatte.
and the rest Of the herbs and currants
on the top with some butter. and so
bake it; you may eat it hot or cold"

Our Islands In the Pac ;fic.

The United States is in possession OF
q number of scattered small ISLANDS In
the Pacific, some Of them really notn-
ing more than barren rocks or corai
reefs. Over these comparatively worth
less insular possessions the American
flag has been raised from time to time
as a matter of form. Up to this time
thev have been found of no practical
value and for the most part are unin-
habited. In fact. few of them are
capable of producing enough to sus-
tain inhabitants. Among the largest
of these Pacific islands are Christ
mas, Gallego, Starbuck, Penrhyn. Pal
myra, Phoenix. Rowland, Baker. John
ston, Gardner, Midway. Morell and
Marcus. The Midway islands are &C.
cupied by a colony of cable telegra-
pliers and electricians. They are in
charge of the relay in the cable line
connecting the Philippines with the
Pacific coast. This colony is composed
of about forty persons.-New York

A Remarkable Grotto,

Fingal's cave is one Of the most re-
markable natural grottoes in Europe.
1t is situated on the island of Staffa,
about seven miles off the west coast
Of Null. Scotland. The cavern is 227
feet deep. AZ feet wide at the entrance
and 62 feet high at the opening at time
of low tide. Tide has great deal to
do with the size and dimensions Of
Fingal's cave, because it is eminently
a sea grotto. The oceans waters are
always the floor of the cavern. At time
of very lowest tide there is twenty feet
of water in the cave. 1t can be readily
entered by means of small boats at all
times except at the hour Of extreme
high tide. In Europe Fingals cave Is
considered the greatest British Won
der.
