DANGEROUS GAME WITH BULL
Popular Pastime That Marks 1ne 1e''
ebration Of Feast Days IN
South America.

In the interior of Venezuela ana 20
lombia toro coleado is feature 81
fiesta days. A principal street OF the
town is roped off and wild bull IS
liberated. From eight to ten mounted
horsemen enter the improvised arena,
their only defense against attacks of
the bull being their superb horseman-
shin and a knowledge of how to twist
the bulls tail in such manner as 20
cause him to tumble over. While the
attention of the bull is attracted by
some of the party horseman dashes
from the rear at full speed gives a
deXtrous twist, and over rolls the bull.
This sport is not without it's danger,
and almost every coleado festival adds
to the hospital list. The honor of be.
ing champion bull-tail tWister develops
keen competition, for the winner Is
crowned with flowers by the prettiest
girl in the village Some performers
become so expert as to be sure OF
their twist at a specified point, the
great achievement being to bring the

IN HANDSOME LACQUER

dressing case, chest Of drawers, ETC.,
cost $2,9665O While not unduly eX-
pensive, it still remains a purchase re-
curing some consideration.
The drawing of the chair and the
side table introduces you to a very
popular and-for lacquer-popularly
priced dining-room set The dining
table Is about twice the size Of the
side table, and the same in design.
1t looks as though two side tables had
been pushed together, making the I'M
der stretchers form a circle. The
general underlying character of this
set is Adam-modified And the price
for the set, including the table, side
table and six chairs, should be about
$500. This furniture comes in black,
or in other colors. The green and
gold are particularly stunning.
Speaking of coors, the old English
lacquer was made in black, red. laven-
der, blue, green or buff-all, Of course,
with the gilt decorations. Today we
usually see the black or red If you
have not seen the red lacquer, go to
one of the shops and look at it. 1t
is not shocking or scandalous, but
very rich and dull; the old-looking
red smacks of the tango Of last sea-

intensity. If such a thing may be
said, the gold tones it down-on the

Gasoline From Natural Gas,

doubled that of 1912, owing to the in

used for raising the standard of naph.

HOW TABBY FOOLED TERRIER
Feline Escapes Attack Of Dog by
Swimming SwirIing Waters
Of Canal.

was a witness to what was nearly
tragedy the other day, a writer IN
the Lowell Citizen.COurier states. An
Irish terrier and a gray taDby cat were
at war, and the terriers barks and as
saults were met by tabbys snarls,
and, as she had a chance, by clever
stroke with her paw. But the battle
went against her. and she turned tail
and fed, with the terrier close after.
Tabby chose a poor route OF es-
cape, however, for the squabble &C.
Cured over the canal, and tabby made
a bee line across the street through
the iron fence and dropped into the
canal
You know what a swirl of water
there is at this point. and only the
proverbial nine lives Of the cat saved
her from drowning. Fortunately, she
was washed out of the whirlpool and
made her way to the bank OF the canal,
where, as you know, the water over
tops the wall, and reached solid
ground. apparently none the worse for
her double encounter.
The terrier was nonplused. His
prey had escaped, but where? he
peered through the fence and sour
ried first one way and then the other
across the bridge his tail up, and his
eyes full of the lust of battle. But
all to no purpose, SO off he sped.

FUR COAT MUST FIT WELL
Expenditure Necessary for Proper
Shaping Always Is Money
Well Laid Out.

One reason why many women look
so hopelessly clumsy and shapeless
in their fur coats is because, owing to
the initial expense of such a garment
and the substantial cost Of alteration
work on fur, any reftting process is
dispensed with; the benighted wearer
of the handsome sealskin or caracul
coat imagining that in a garment Of
such obviously high price the niceties
of line that would be insisted upon in
cheaper coat do not matter.
This is fallacy and the woman who
wants to look her best always realizes
it and, if she cannot afford to have a.
$50 fur coat and pay IS more to have
it adapted to her figure she contents
herself with less expensive wrap and
sees to it that the lines are correct.
There is no reason why any woman
should look more bulky or more clum.
sy in sealskin than in broadcloth, pro.
vided the sealskin is beautifully fitted,
for this fur is supple and graceful
when rightly managed, and falls into
most distinguished lines. Caracul
should be avoided by the stout woman
unless she can pay a high price for
the soft, fine skins that give graceful
lines. Ponyskin is too glossy a fur for
the woman of redundant curves
There is little trouble this year about
the fit at the back of a sealskin coat

To Cure Sick Goldfish.

With good care goldfish will live
more than one hundred years. Over
feeding and lack of cleanliness are usu-
ally the causes for their dying before
their time. The most common dis.
ease from which goldfish suffer IS
the fungus, which is contagious and
deadly. This appears as tiny white
spots on the fins or body. and rap .dly
penetrates the tissues If a fish shows
any fungus growth, get three per
cent solution of nitrate of silver and
apply a tiny bit with camel's hair
brush. Be careful to touch only the
fungous spot with the nitrate, as 1t
will kill healthy skin
