The Fight a Fizzle.
Manila’s Last Experiment in the Bull Ring—After a
Tiger and Two Panthers Failed to Floor the Not
Overfiery Bull, Pandemonium Broke Loose In the
Audience and the Show Was Declared Off.
Besides many other regular forms of
amusement the residents of Manila used
now and then to have the bullfight. Asa
rule, however, performances in the bull
ring were few and far between, since lusty
animals seemed incapable of thriving in
the torrid climate of the Philippines. It
was during the early days after my ar-
rival that the old wooden ring—squatting
out in the ricefields of the Ermita suburb
—was to be used for the last time, and the
occasion was one of unusual interest since
the posters announced in grown up letters
a ‘“‘struggle between wild beasts—grand
fight between full blooded Spanish bull
and royal Bengal tiger, direct from the
jungles of India.” For days before the
exhibition conversation in the cafes along
the Escolta invariably turned to the sub-
ject of the coming exhibition, and it was
evident that the managers fully intended
both to reap a large harvest of heavy dol-
lars and to wind up the career of the bull
ring association in a blaze of glory.
A hot afternoon in early February found
everybody directing their steps toward the
wooden structure, which consisted of a
lot of rickety seats piled up around a cir-
cular arena. The reserved sections were
covered with a light roof to keep off the
hot afternoon sun, but the ‘‘bleachers,’’
for those that held only ‘‘billetes de sol,’’
were exposed to the blinding glare. The
audience—a crowd of 8,000 persons with
dark faces showing above suits of white
sheeting—found the center of the ring or-
namented with a huge iron cage some two
rods square, while off at the side were
smaller cages containing the ‘‘fieras,’’ or
wild beasts.
The show opened amid breathless excite-
ment with an exhibition of panthers, and
a man dressed in pink tights ate dinner
in their big cage after setting off a bunc!
of firecrackers under one of the ‘“‘fieras,’
which did not seem inclined to wake up
enough to lick his chops or to pretend to
want to eat somebody. The daring per-
former lived to digest his glass of water
and one cracker, and a deer was next in-
troduced into the inclosure. The panthers,
even at the command of the keeper, seem-
ed unwilling to attack their gentle foe, and
on continued hissing from the big audi-
ence the animals were withdrawn.
Then great shouts of ‘‘El toro, el toro!’
arose as off at the small gate at one side
the bull appeared calmly walking forward
under the guidance of two natives, and
renewed applause arose as the small heavy
cage containing the royal Bengal tiger
was rolled up to the sliding door of the
central structure.
The bull was shoved into the iron jail,
a dozen or more bunches of firecrackers
were set off in the small box holding the
tiger in order to wake him up, the slide
door connecting the two was withdrawn,
and with a deafening roar the great In-
dian cat rushed forth and tried to swallow
a man who was standing outside the bars
holding a heated pitchfork. The bull stood
quietly in one corner wagging his tail
and after blinking his eyes once or twice
proceeded to examine his antagonist in a
most friendly spirit. In fact, there seemed
to be no hard fceling at all between the
two beasts, and the tiger apparently only
wanted to get at the gentleman outside
the cage, not at the bull.
The audience howled and jeered at the
tiger, bet on the bull and criticised the
man with the pitchfork as he gave the
tiger several hard pokes in the ribs. This
angered the beast so that he made a dive
for the bull and promptly found himself
tossed into the air. But as he came down
he hung on to the bull’s nose and dug
his claws into the tough hide. Curiously
enough, the bull did not seem to mind that
in the least, and the two stood perfectly
still, locked in close quarters, for some five
minutes.
And, to make a long story short, there
occurred some four of these mild attacks
-—always incited by the man with the
pitchfork—during which the bull stepped
on the tiger, making him howl with pain,
and the latter badly bit the bull on the
legs and nose. After the fourth round
both beasts scemed to be in want of a
siesta. It was growing dark, and the
dissatisfled audience cried for another
bull.
The first animal was finally dragged
away after the tiger had gladly retreated
to his cage, and a fresh bull with more
spirit was introduced. Now, however, the
tiger was less game than ever, and no
amount of firecrackers would induce him
to stir from the small cage. He seemed
far too sensible and literally appeared to
be possessed of an asbestus skin.
It was now getting really dark. The
audience joined in a chorus of howls. Peo-
ple began to light matches to see their
programmes, and the circus ring looked as
if it were filled with fireflies. Then the
programmes themselves were ignited to
get more light. Cries of ‘‘Give us back
our money!’ and others of a less printable
kind arose, and pandemonium reigned.
Men jumped into the ring, but the tiger
refused to move for anybody. A couple of
panthers were again hastily introduced in-
to the cage with the bull in the hope of
stirring things up.
But the bull merely licked one panther
on the nose and wagged his tail at the
other, while the show was declared off on
account of darkness. Then everybody filed
out in disgust, and the man with the
tiger, panthers and pitchforks sailed for
foreign shores by the first steamer. Such
was the last performance in the ‘*‘ Plaza de
Toros de Manila,”’ and nowadays nothing
marks the spot where stood the arena
except the little ticket office, over whose
windows are the words ** Billetes de Sol.”

Wolseley In Canada.
‘It is interesting vo recall the circum-
stance,’’ says the London Chronicle, ‘‘that
there was some thought of making Colo-
nel Wolseley, as he then was, lieutenant
governor of Manitoba, the new Canadian
province, in which he suppressed the Red
River rebellion more than a quarter of a
century ago. But the idea was not carried
into effect.
‘Fort Garry, from which the rebels fled
on the approach of Colonel Wolseley, has
now developed into the flourishing city of
Winnipeg, the metropolis of Manitoba.
Various relics of Wolseley’s march from
Fort William to Fort Garry are still shown
to tourists in that quarter of Canada.’’
According to the New England Histor-
ical Genealogical society, only 29 families
that came to New England from Great
Britain were entitled to bring armorial
bearings with them.
Foiled the Woodpecker.
Ingenious Scheme to Save the Poles and Its Peculiar
Result.
‘*Speaking of modern ingenuity,” re-
marked Assistant Superintendent of Tel-
egraph Roome the other day, ‘‘calls ta
mind the happy idea of Superintendent
Joseph Donner, now located with the
Southern Pacific company at San Francis-
co, when he was on this end. You may
remember his experience in painting the
telegraph poles of the Arizona desert with
asphalt,and from the sand sticking to them
gradually simulating stone. Well, what I
am about to relate equaled this proceed-
ing both as to efficacy and conception.
In western Texas, west of Spofford Junc-
tion and for many miles, it was almost
impossible to make a telegraph pole last
more than six months, owing to the many
woodpeckers in that section. The birds
constantly attacked the posts and actually
perforated the wood in divers places until
the poles bore the appearance of having
been well bored, soon becoming useless.
Realizing that something must be done,
Mr. Donner put on his thinking cap, and
at the end of a week he had solved the
problem.
‘‘A month later he journeyed to Spofford
Junction, and attached to the train was a
carload of hollow iron poles, each painted
to resemble ordinary rough red cedar.
These he set up at intervals of five miles,
covering the territory affected by the
woodpeckers. A. skilled eye could not de-
termine the difference between the iron
poles and the wooden ones. Concealed
within the top of each of the metal poles
Mr. Donner attached. a very small ‘buz-
zer,’ similar to those used in lieu of call
bells, and these he attached to the tele-
graph wires, they keeping up a constant
humming. Here is where the woodpeckers
were fooled. They imagined the ‘buzzers’
were insects in the poles, and then began
a desperate sortie of the birds upon the
metal. They flocked to the anticipated
harvest by scores, and the foolish things
never realized their error until the bill of
each was worn down to a frazzle. A
month’s time found every woodpecker in
the state in this awkward predicament,
and being unable to penetrate the iron
they gave up and went to eating gravel.
The poles of wood were saved.
‘A peculiar result was that the progeny
of the mutilated birds showed bills with-
out points, and consequently these latter
are unable to do any damage. Every
woodpecker along the line now wears his
bill as rounded as a baseball, and we ex-
perience no more trouble. Mr. Donner
was thinking of patenting the idea, but
dld not, however, preferring that other
lines should have the benefit of his inge-
nuity free.’”’—New Orleans Times-Demo-
craft.
Telephone Wire.
In Each Apparatus There Is Quer Half a Mile of It.
**When you say ‘Hello!’ to ‘central’ did
you know that you talk over 2,900 feet, or
one half mile, of copper wire before the
sound of your voice is transmitted from
the telephone box?’ asked the superin-
tendent of the Missouri and Kansas Tele-
phone company of a reporter for The
Times recently. It is a fact that in each
telephone there is 2,900 feet of fine wire.
You see, the phone is composed of three
S.
‘‘First the ringing apparatus, then the
transmitter and last the ear trumpet or
receiver. In the first are two small cords
about the size of a No. 40 spool of thread
immediately behind the bells, each con-
taining 500 feet, and in the magneto or
ringing machine is another cell, contain-
ing 1,200 feet, making in all 2,200 feet.
In the second part is a coil of the same size
of wire, No. 86, about the size of No. 60
thread, which contains 500 feet. In the
receiver is 200 feet more, making in all
2,900 feet.
‘In the telephone exchange we have
8,800 instruments. With 2,900 feet in each
the total would make 9,570,000 feet of
very fine wire in use in the telephones of
the city alone. Figuring 5,280 feet to the
mile, it would make slightly over 181
miles of wire as fine as a thread.
‘This wire is insulated or shielded with
two thicknesses of extremely fine silk
thread and is an item of considerable ex-
pense, as the spools or coils are easily
burned out. There is an equal amount of
wire contained in coils back of the switch-
board at ‘central’ which makes 362 miles,
or enough to reach from here to St. Louis,
with a good many miles to spare.’’—Kan-
sas City Times.
The Causes of Cancer.
There are few diseases that afflict the
human family that are more to be dreaded
than those of a cancerous nature. The
cancer proper is a most appalling foe to
life. Whether it can be cured is and al-
ways has been a debatable question. Cases
are cited where alleged marvelous cures
have been effected, but this does not to
any appreciable extent alter the facts in
the case that the cancer is practically in-
curable once it gets any sort of headway
in the system. The causes of this disease
have been so imperfectly understood that
any effort at prevention was worse than
useless. A French scientist claims to have
discovered cancer germs in wood and that
artisans who work in wood are much more
subject to this disease, all things consid-
ered, than those who handle most other
materials. Having once started on this
line of research, he found cancer germs in
wood and vegetation of various kinds.
Elm and willow trees showed a greater
proportion of these germs than other
woods. In high altitudes or where trees
are not common very few cancer germs
were found. From all of which it appears
that we may be at last on the highroad to
some reliable and conclusive knowledge
upon a subject which has baffled the skill
of medical scientists for many years.—

Not Without Guile.
They used to say of Senator Perkins of
California that he subtly flattered those
whom he desired to count among his con-
stituents by asking each man of them,
met singly, what time it was by his watch
and setting his own timepiece according-
ly. It was an exceedingly good way of
advancing his own cause, but a young
physician here in town unblushingly con-
fesses to a piece of diplomatic duplicity
just as clever and just as successful. When-
ever practice lags, he buys a number of
clinical thermometers and presents them
to all mothers of young children he knows.
Of course as soon as a mother begins to
take the temperatures of her children she
is bound to discover fluctuations never
dreamed of before, and as not one women
in 20 can read a clinical thermometer cor-
rectly or tell what it means when she has
read it—well, you can see for yourself that
that crafty medicine man is going to be
sent for. The idea is a good one, but per-
sonally I think any man who trades on
the anxiety of a mother for her babies is a
heartless villain.— Washington Post.
“DRINK HAEL.”

That fierce Egyptian queen, and yet she

“Drink hael,’”’ I'll say, “in this poor cup of
mine!
Drink hael, dear love! Would that I could
pour
My soul into the cup for you to drink
And with that wine your fainting heart re-
store!
Drank hael, dear love—drink hael! The cup,
I think
Though all too poor, holds something else
than wine,
So drink, dear love, from this poor cup of
mine!”’
—Argosy.
Foreign Musicians.
The English Style of Pronouncing Their Names Is In
Greatest Vogue.
The pronunciation of the names of tfor-
eign musicians is a subject with regard to
which the average Briton is disposed to
claim and exercise the most unrestricted
freedom. The result is not usually such
as would lead to self identification by the
unhappy owners of the names themselves.
Several organs of the musical press have
begun diScussing the matter with the
view of protecting the foreign musician
from nominal mutilation at the hands of
his admirers and of bringing something
like harmony out of the present state of
chaos. One writer states that at a recent
conference of musicians he heard the name
of a foreign musical celebrity pronounced
in four different ways by as many speak-
ers. Tschaikowsky was alluded to by one
speaker as ‘‘Shy-cow-sky’’ instead of
“Chy-koff-ski,’’ as the composer’s name
ought approximately to be pronounced.
Although sufficiently serious, this is less
disconcerting than the American reproach
against English name orthography in
general that we write a word ‘‘Beau-
champ” and pronounce it ‘Beecham.’
Still, a more rational method of translat-
ing proper names from languages which,
like Russian, have an alphabet entirely
different from our own is much to be de-
sired. There is really no reason why we
should retain the German ‘‘w’’ in such
names as Tschaikowsky, Paderewski and
Turgeniev. The Russian letter is ‘‘v,”
although it has the power of ‘‘£”’ before
hard consonants and at the end of most
words. The general substitution of “v’’
would at least give the death blow to such
mispronunciations as ‘‘ Paderoosky.’’ The
adoption of the suggestion that Sir George
Grove or some other authority should
complete a pronouncing vocabulary of
foreign musicians’ names might prove
useful to the student, but the infrequent
concert goer would probably remain un-
influenced. The too deferential Baboo,
when asked how his somewhat formidable
name was to be pronounced, politely an-
swered, ‘‘As you d—n please.’’ This, it
is to be feared, will continue to be the rule
with the majority of foreign musicians.—
London News.
A Japanese Dinner.
He found the great room up stairs half
full of people, who were seated in a semi-
circle at one end, writes Mrs. Mimoli C.
Fraser in The Pall Mall Magazine. Char-
teris was a little late, and the rest had be-
gun the indescribable meal which is called
Japanese dinner. All the strangest prod-
ucts of earth, regardless of precedence,
hustle each other on the small square ta-
ble before the guest and little by little
overflow its bounds and are placed on the
floor around him—a growing nebula of
tiny plates, many of which he will not
touch if he be wise.
What strikes him first perhaps is the
uncanny familiarity of some of them. If
this is really his first visit to little Japan,
where could he possibly have seen three
pink shells lying on golden straw in a
scarlet plate or a large white fish, with be-
seeching countenance, comfortably put to
bed among sprouting rushes, all apparent-
ly growing out of the meshes of that fairy
basket work? Where, in the name of san-
ity, has he had sugar peonies and chrysan-
themums done to the life double their nat-
ural size or octopi and red crabs artistical-
ly chasing each other on plates of corru-
gated glass? Is this the stuff that dreams
are made of?
Then he remembers. Of course they
have all come out of the embroideries and
off the lacquered tables of his childhood.
The dinner is an object lesson in exquisite
arrangements of form and color and
should be regarded as such. Viewed as
food it is distinctly unsatisfactory and
far, far too satisfying. The impression
on rising stiff and dizzy from the floor is
that of having watched a kaleidoscope and
swallowed Mont Blanc.
Ancient Hindoo Guilds.
Till the time of Vishnu’s lawbook,
third century A. D., no one of these guilds
appears as pre-eminent, but in this work
‘‘metal workers and smiths of silver and
gold” are mentioned particularly, though
this pre-eminence may be due to accident.
But the circumstance is interesting, be-
cause exactly these guilds became the
chief guilds of ordinary towns and be-
cause they were very likely the first to
band together in self defense all the guilds
originating in this way, but the gold-
smiths perhaps first of all, since the old
law in regard to smiths was so extremely
severe as to call for some union on their
part.
The old law in regard to a goldsmith
found guilty of defrauding was based on
the principle that a goldsmith can most
easily deceive, and that when he does so he
is *‘the vilest of sinners.” The king is
therefore directed to see to it that a gold-
smith found guilty of chéating shall be
chopped up into very small pieces with
sharp knives, whereas ordinary thieves or
cheats are merely beheaded. By uniting
together and ostracizing a guilty member
the guild could inflict a punishment
which, if it was not so severe, probably
bad a still more deterrent effect.—Yalo
Review.
Dignity and Trousers.

Husband—Well, give those to me. I

proud, haughty, indifferent, dignified and
perhaps a trifle disdainful. A man can’t
be all that successfully with fringe on the
bottoms of his trousers.—London An-

The Feast of Dolls.
One of the Many Odd Customs of Odd Little
Japan.
In that land of feasts and festivals—
Japan—the most popular one with the
children is the feast of dolls, which takes
place in the month of February. It per-
haps answers to our St. Valentine festivals.
The fun lasts for three days, and, if lit-
tle Miss Japan’s father and mother and
grandfather and grandmother have laid
up in store for this occasion, dolls by the
hundreds are brought forth to celebrate
the feast, and many of the dolls are years
and years old, hundreds of years even, for
every old doll that enters a Japanese home
is treasured and kept for this great day.
The best room in the house is chosen.
Here shelves covered with rich silken
hangings, gay in color, are arranged, per-
haps five or six shelves, extending the
length of one side of the room.
The principal dolls are the emperor and
empress of Japan, or two dolls dressed to
represent these august personages in their
court attire. Everything centers about
them. Dolls to represent maids of honor,
courtiers and statesmen, each in appropri-
ate dress, are ranged next in order.
Everything which their imperial maj-
esties can possibly need in the way of
household furniture is represented in min-
iature. Silver cups, bowls and rice buck-
ets on lacquered trays are placed before
the emperor and empress, and each day
the little child for whom this festival is
prepared fills the dishes with the different
kinds of food used in a Japanese household
—rice, fruits, nuts and cake or sweet
wine.
Besides the table service, everything
which an imperial doll can be expected to
need is seen—lacquered palanquins, funny,
hood shaped bullock carts, fire boxes, char-
coal baskets and tongs. Nor is the toilet
table and its accessories forgotten. There
are combs, brushes, mirrors, utensils for
blackening the teeth, for reddening the
lips and whitening the face.
At the end of the feast the dolls are
packed away for another year, except two
or three, which are left out for daily use.—

Ready to Instruct.
‘Did you ever notice,’’ said the man
with a piece of cotton cord for a shoe-
string, ‘‘that whatever happens to people
there is always one resource left them? No
matter how far down on his luck a person
gets there’s always one thing he can do.”
‘‘What’s that?’’ inquired the man who
was killing time.
‘‘He can go to teaching. A man can al-
ways find some one who knows less about
something than he does.
French, Spanish, Italian, mathematics or
playing the fiddle. If he happens to have
no more than an ordinary education, he
can get along by picking out some branch
that he was especially good in and adver-
tising to give private instruction to people
who lacked early advantages such as
would fit them for their present social
station. ”’
‘What do you teach, languages, music
or grammars?’ :
‘‘None of them,” was the answer with
a sigh. “I have a special line, one that
fills a long felt want and with which I
expect to do wonders. But I haven't as
yet been able to get up a class of these
men you read about who are so rich they
don’t know what to do with their money.’

ROBBED THE GRAVE—A startling inci-
dent, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Phila-
delphia was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows : ‘‘I was in a dreadful con- |
dition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three phy-
sicians had given me up. Fortunately a
friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters ;’
and to my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life and robbed the grave of another
vietim.”” No one should fail to try them:
