The Bull the Matadore Found It Most Difficult to Kill. Thole is no description of a bullfight In Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott's book. "Sun and Shadow In Spain." hut tbeiv Is a record of a meeting with a niatn dore In the studio of i he court p. intcr Don Jose Viiiegas. d the ciisuin conversation, a part of wlii !i ivw.ileii the bullfighter in an unexpectedly gen tle light. It also makes plain Hie fun dauieutal reason why Americans ol> jec-t to bull tights. "How many bulls have yen killed?" some one asked of tin? matadore. "In twenty-five years I have killed 3,500 bulls." "Were you ever afraid?" "I have been afraid many, many times. On those occasions 1 put my trust in my legs and ran as fast as I could. "The bull, however, is the noblest of animals and tho bravest. He never makes a cowardly attack from behind, lie is so frank, lie is terrible, though. A man needs nerve to face him when he comes into the ring pawing the earth and bellowing." "Will you It'll us about tin? bull that was the hardest of all to kill?" The matadore's face changed. "He was a white bull," he said slow ly, "and he didn't want to fight. When lie first came in he put his muzzle in my hand. He followed me about like a little dog. I led him with the cloak wherever 1 wanted to go. Yes, that was the hardest bull of all to kill." THE "GHOST FLUID." A Test by Which May De Discerned the Digital Effluvia. There is an experiment, first made, by Dr. .1. Maxwell, advocate general ai the court of appeals in Paris, a dis tinguished magistrate and physician, which may lie repeated in any drawii: room. • * Place a screen covered with a dark colored cloth in front of a window so that the light fails full upon it. lie tween the window and the screen put the subject of your experiment. Let him hold his hands, palms toward tin breast, linger lips touching, in such a position that they are projected againsl the dark background of the screen. Then bid him slowly separate his hands, keeping the fingers extended widely. Standing behind him you will observe a sort of bluish gray cloud which seems to unite one hand to the other. Eight people out of ten will see this, says Vance Thompson ii Hampton's Magazine. In HOO test!: made by Dr. Maxwell personally 25C folk of one sex and the other discerned the digital effluvia; about 5 per cent saw it tinged a decided blue, two saw it yellow in tone, and in one instance the spectator saw it of a reddish hue. The experiment succeeds best in a warm room. Cold and damp work against it. The duration of durability is four or five seconds. Rammed by a Shark. The strangest shark story which ever came to the writer's ears was of a shark that charged a steamer. This was in Queen Charlotte's sound, and an account of the incident appeared in a Vancouver paper. The captain ol the steamer, which was a small craft of only fifty tons or so, saw the shark on the surface on the port bow and could not resist I lie temptation of tak ing a shot at it with liis rifle. He hit Ills mark, whereupon the monster, said to have been fully twenty feet it length, deliberately charged the steam er. The boat quivered from stem tc stern, and captain said afterward that it was like striking a rock. After this display of temper Master Shark had had enough of it and sank out of sight.—T. C. Bridges in Chambers' Journal. Did He Mean to Be Funny? The editor of a newspaper whose policy it is to print many letters from correspondents in neighboring towns recently received such a communica tion from his representative In one place as to which he was not quite sure. lie could not decide whether the correspondent was unconsciously humorous or whether he was endeav oring to comply with the Standing in structions or the paper to "always be on the lookout for any little touch of humor that may brighten up our col umns." The item read as follows: "Mr. Harry Spinks, the well known butcher of this place, has been losing flesh rapidly of late."—Lippincott's. An Amendment. "I'm a terror, I be," announced the new arrival in Frozen Dog to one of the men behind the bur. "Be ye?" "Takes three men to handle mo once I get started," he went on. "Oh, well," he remarked as he arose painfully and dusted off his clothes, "of course if ye're shorthanded I sup pose two kin do it on a pinch."—Every body's. Located. | "You say that the cook assaulted you?" inquired the judge. "He did—kicked me, your honor." "Where did lie kick you?" "In the pantry."—Judge. Disconcerting.

FILIAL DUTY. An Example From the Chinese of a Good Little Boy. In China the "Book of Filial Dnty" has been employed to instruct the young for tlio last 1!,500 years. In it are twenty-four examples for good boys. What these examples are like may be understood from the story of Wu Meng, example No. 20. U'u Men#, it seems, was very obedient to his parents. One day at the age of eight he noticed with pain that the mosqui toes annoyed his parents while they were trying to sleep. Presently he hit upon a plan to rescue them. Says thi> author of this classic: "The buzzing <>f th<^ mosquitoes sounds li!:" 'ying ylng.' and their united hum is I almost equal to thunder. His tiiv,: parents are reclining on their bed. their eounteii 11. i-s already sunk in slumber. Legions of inns - iiiKo.-s fierce ly attack thein. alternately retreating and advancing. The insects dlsturl the droami g sleep rs, and with i noyanee they toss from side to side. "Wu sees thein sticking Ills parents' blood, which causes his heart to grieve. Ilis tlesh, he thinks, can be easily pierced, but that of his parents is hard to penetrate. Lying on the bed, he throw off his clothes, and soon, feeling the pain of their attacks, he cried, 'I have no dread of you, nor have you any reason to fear me! " 'Although 1 have a fan, I will not use it. nor will 1 strike you with my hand. I will lie very quiet and let you gorge to the fu'V Thus did the parents of Wu Meng get a chance to sleep in peace. COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE. Daily Handshaking and Greeting Con sumo rr'Lot of Time. it was the third or fourth day out from Santa Mnrta, Colombia, and early in the moruing when one of the South American passengers came on deck. Another South American arose from bis deck chair, extended his hand and as the men shook hands inquired after the health of the newcomer, his wife and his children. As they had parted company only about eight hours before in the smok ing room, this seemed like unnecessary courtesy. The observer noticed that this happened in the ease of nil the Colombians on board, so he asked one man about il. "It is a custom of the country," said lie. "On the occasion of meeting a per son for the first time each day it is etiquette to shake hands and to make inquiries about the health of the per son so greeted and of his relatives. It would not he considered polite to do otherwise." Continuing, this man told of taking a walk one day in Bogota with a mer chant of the place. They were bent on business and were to cover a dis tance that might be made rather easily in ten minutes. Because of the neces sary slops to make the customary in quiries and to shako hands with friends of the merchant the trip took nearly an hour.—New York Sun. Tho Drawback. Being eager to know how his off spring, Haymow junior, was getting along in the big metropolis, Ilayinow senior one day repaired thither from his rural habitat and sought informa tion of his brother, long since estab lished in the city. "Waal." said Haymow senior, "what do you hear about Kbcnezer?" "Oh, I understand," remarked the young hopeful's uncle, "that he is In valuable in his new job." "I swan!" "Moreover, I understand that the boss simply can't do without him." "llow you talk!" "And Ebenezer 'll be a partner with in a year or so, according to what I hear from the same source." Haymow senior stroked his beard highly satisfied. "By tlio way, who told you all this about Kbenezer?" he inquired. "Ebenezer." "Oh!" New York Times. Mixed Ownership. A countryman, having been sum moned to appear before the magistrate for not having a sign on his cart, was indue course brought before him. The magistrate asked him if he had anything to say for himself, and he replied that he had a difficult question to ask which he could not solve him self. "The question is this,"he said. "The wheels of the cart belonged to John the miller, and the body of the cart belongs to the vicar, and the bag of old bones (meaning the horse) belongs to me. Now, gentlemen, if you can tell me what name I can put on it I will have it done immediately." lie was let off.—London Answers. Credit. The suffragette raised her right hand. "Give woman the credit she de serves," she cried, "and where would man be?"

HUMAN BAIT. the Men Who Gather Leeches In the Swamps of England. Pale and lean, he spoke in a low roice, crumbling a water cracker: "Diviii* is hard work, and sulphur miuin' is hard work, but hoWd you like to be bait at -1 shillhi' a day? Hint ain't quite a dollar. "I was human bait for a leech dealer iu England all one spring. It was back in the eighties, but 1 ain't never recov ered the healthy color and weight wiiat 1 lost. I guess 1 never will now. "Down Norfolk way 1 baited down in the Norfolk broads. Broads is swamps. All llieni swamps, together with the mild, moist climate, makes Norfolk a great place for leeches. Me ind a dozen oilier chaps was leech fialt. We would wade in with our breeches rolled up t<» our knees, and as soon as we'd feel a leech on our legs we'd tear bim off and drop him in a basket slung from the shoulder. <>uick as thunder we'd do it, but he'd be considerable plumped out even in that little while. And when a dozen 1 'cclies settled on you together the last of 'em by the time you got round to him would bo as fat and heavy as a lump of lead, whilst you'd l>e that much lighter natcherly. "In the late spring the leeches took to deep water. Then the bait had to strip and wade in up to their chins. With all that surface to look after, we played a losin' game with the leeches. The quickest of us couldn't stand inore'n four hours of it without most faintin' from weakness. And the pain! For smie parts of the human bait is mighty sensitive, I tell you. "The trade's died out now. There's no more call for leeches, and it's a good thing. Bein' bait is too hard on a man. It's worms' work."—New Or leans Times-Democrat. SAFE BOTH WAYS. The Way Rajah Birbar Saved His Head by Ready V/it. Kajah Birbar, a boon companion of the Emperor Akbar, the great con temporary of Queen Elizabeth, was a notable wit. Tho story goes that the emperor once sent Birbar with a mes sage to the king of Persia. The latter, for some reason or other, bore a grudge toward the rajah and in order to see him lose tho emperor's favor thought of a device. lie asked Birbar: "Which of us two is greater in power and majesty—l or Akbar? But, mind you, if your an swer is in any waj' unfavorable to me I will order your head to bo struck off." "Your majesty," replied Birbar with out loss of time, "is like the full moon, while the emperor, my master, resem bles the crescent." The king was highly pleased with bis reply and let him go. This news was, however, carried to Akbar, who was wild with rage when ho heard it. When Birbar returned to bis master's court lie was asked to ex plain himself on pain of death. "My comparison," said Birbar, "meant only this much and nothing more—that the decline of the Persian king's power had commenced, just as tho full moon, after it is full, goes on waning, while your majesty is destined to ri# on and one till, like tho crescent becoming the full moon in time, it will shine forth with magnificent splendor of glory." The emperor, who was a great patron of wit and wisdom, heaped the rajah with rewards. Clerk's Elbow. "To remove shiny spots from coat elbows and trousers seats," said a clerk —"I'll tell you how it is done." The sun was strong on liini as, upon his lofty stool, he munched his mid day sandwich from thin, ink smeared fingers, but on his old clerk's coat and old trousers no shiny spots reflected tho light. " 'Clerks' elbow' such spots are call ed," he said. "It's like housemaids' knee. To cure it you soak the glitter ing spot in cold water for half an hour. Then you take a teasel—that's a very stiff thistle—and you rub the spot with it till a nap or fuzz Is raised up. Then with a clotliesbrush you lay the nap down the right way, and, presto, the shine Is gone!"— New Orleans Times-Democrat. No Sand In Sandpaper. "There is no sand in sandpaper," said the manufacturer. "It is powder ed glass that does the business. That's where the broken bottles goto." He nodded toward a mass of broken bot tles in the yard. "We powder the glass into half a dozen grades," he said. "We coat our paper with an even lay er of hot glue. Then without loss of time we spread on the glass powder. Finally we run a wooden roller lightly over the sheets to give them a good surface. When iu the past they made sandpaper of sand it wouldn't do a quarter of the work that glass paper floes."—Cincinnati Enquirer. Bride's Pie Joke. Her—lticliard!
