But the\ndisaster of Thimday called lor men of\nhead and courage, men who would do\naud would dare, and reckon the cost\nafterwards, or perhaps in eternity.\nAnd in the many who responded to\nthe call \"Truo\" wus easily the llrst.\nThere were scores of brave mon who\nin tbo hope cf rescuing their comrade\ntook their lives in their Hands also,\nbut it is possible to oo honor to the\nnoroism of \"True\" Weatherby's conduct without in the loust detracting\nfrom that of scores of others who\nshowed tbat tbey, too, were bravo,\nana that they had hearts so big that\nthoy did not hold even their own lives\nabove those cf their comrades and that\nthey woro prepared to piny tbeir own\nagainst tho remotest chaucu that the\nothers might live.

The re- j\nmains of thu men are also very badly\nburned and in many instances the\nbodies bear evidences of the lerriilc\nvelocity of the sxploson.

The\nJapanese government is said to bo\nnow negotiating a loan of $100,000,000\nfor the purpose of prosecuting the\nproposed works and with such a sum\nin hand a great deal can bu done In\ntho direction indicated. There will be\na demand for Iron and steol fur their\nships and railroads, machinery of all\ndescriptions will be required and\nCanadian manufacturers .should make a\nbold bid for ths major part of theso.\nOther countries will do so, but few\npossess the advantages held by us for\nsecuring the custom of the ambitious\npeople across the sea. Our vory be^t\nmust therefore be sent to th3 exhi\nbition, aud the entire management ol\nthe Canadian exhibit should be placed\niu tho hands of the best and most experienced man available.

Tho horse of a cowboy\nnamed Davis, running close behind,\nstumbled over Evans's horse, nnd Davis, too, came to earth and lay still,\nunconscious.\nFifty yards away came the herd, and\nn short flash of lightning showed Evans the situation. The swiftly moving\nson of cattle reached one hundred yards\neach way. Unable to arouse Davis,\nnnd never thinking of leaving his disabled comrade, Evans took the only\nchance of saving both. He emptied his\nown revolver nnd his companion's into\ntho center of the herd, cutting a breach\nin the front of the mass. Then, throwing the inanimate form of Davis over\nhis shoulder, ho awaited his opportunity,\nAa one of the leaders brushed by,\nEvans, with one movement, put the\nbody of Davis ncross the shoulders of\nthe steer, nnd mounted, also.

I  At a Portugese Bull-Fight.\n\u00b0TT N   extraordinary coincidence has\nM    been developed by a recent Arctlj\nJ A   tragedy brought about   by ths\nexpedition of the Duke of ths\nAlbrusszl.\n\"When this navlffator wont on his\nJourney to tbe North Polo he took with\nhim among others Lieutenant Querlnl,\na Venetian gentleman of an old and\nnoble family, His work over, tlie Duko\nreturned, but the lieutenant wus not\nwith him, for he had lost hla Ufa\nthrough an accident In the Arctic regions.\nNow, at tho very time when this' accident occurred a professor in the technical school in Trieste, while rummaging In tho archives of that city, discovered n manuscript hearing tho date\nHOI, and containing nn account of a\nJourney made by one Pletro Querlni, In\n1431, to the Arctic regions, Querlnl is\nnot a common mime, nnd a little Investigation showed that Pletro Querlnl\nwns a direct ancestor of tho other Pletro Querlnl who lost his life In the Arctic sens a few months ago.\n\"Querlnl,\" snys the old manuscript,\n\"sailed from Candia for Plnnders on\nboard a vessel loaded with merchandise nnd precious stones. When he arrived in Flnnders he sold his cargo and\nstarted for the Arctic regions. A storm\nforced bim to abandon his ship and to\ntnke refuge with his crew In two barks.\nThe wind then curried them to tho\ncoast of Norway, but on January 9,\n1482, Querlnl was again shipwrecked\nnenr the Lofoden Islands in seventy\ndegrees north latitude, and almost all\nlils companions were drowned.\"\nFor some time It wns supposed thnt\nhe, too, hud been drowned, but In January, 1133, he appeared in Venice with\nten companions, tho only survivors of\nhis original crew of seventy-eight men.\nIt seems that he succeeded in gaining\nthe shore nfter the others had been\ndrowned, niuf then slowly matte his\nway home through Denmark and Germany.\n\"Although these two Pletro Quer-\ninis,\" snys a French writer, \"are separated from each other by live centuries,\nwe find tbe same destiny at work in tbe\nease of e:\\eh.\" And he continues, with\na dash of playfulness: \"Is it not possible that tbe adventurer of the fifteenth century, desiring to enjoy once\nmore the exciting dnys of bis youth,\nactually became Incarnated as a hero\nof tbe twentieth century?\"\nNew York's Fussy Society.\n{{OTTL.LOWINC! for n\n11    ence in the degi\naTI    ism,\" says Sydi\n\u2022 a certain differ-\ndegroe of Imrbar-\nk'dney Ilrooks In\n\"Harper's Magazine,\" \"Rome\nIn Its decline could alone furnish a\nparallel to New York's Four Hundred.\nThe American aristocracy has no equal\nIn Europe for ability to turn the simplest sort of diversion into a function,\nand every function into a ceremony. It\nIh not of them I write, though their\npassion for incongruous artificialities\nnnd the glare In which they live have\nInfected all strata. An exasperated\nEnglishman once described the social\natmosphere of Manhattan Island as\n'rather fussy,' but that wns only In\ncomparison with the English way of\ndoing things, The charm of London\nhospitality Is that there Is never the\nslightest strain put upon either host or\nguest. Tlie American hostess, like tho\nFrench hostess, feels that she must bo\ncontinually 'entertaining* her guost;\nshe considers It a reflection on ber hospitality If the guest Is left a moment\nalone; she looks upon It as her duty to\nhe continually providing fresh amusements, nnd Is constantly troubled by\ndoubts as to whether tlie visitor Is really 'enjoying' himself. Thnt Is one of\nthe reasons why Americans, after tho\npampering they get at home, nro apt to\nfeel themselves neglected In London,\nand loft out In the cold.\"\nA Prophecy Fulfilled.\nON no less authority thnn that ot\nMr. Justin McCarthy it is stated\nthat, With the exception of tho\nKing of Sweden, a descendant of\nRomndOtte, whom Napoleon raised\nfrom the ranks aud Inter made king,\nthere Is not a single important ruler in\nEurope who is not descended from\nMary, Queen of Scots. In \"Macbeth,\"\nwhich wos evidently written with tlio\nIdea of courting the favor of James I.,\nthe llrst Stuart ruler of England,\nShakespeare puts Into the mouth of the\nwitches this prophecy to Banquo, from\nWhom the Stuarts are by legend descended: \"Your children shall be\nkings.\" Even the most obsequious of\ncourtiers could not hnve anticipated\nhow literally true this compliment to\nthe Stuarts through King James was\nto prove. It Is certainly a curious historical fact that the dynasty of the\nStuarts, \"In many ways the worst dynasty,\" as Mr. McCarthy says, \"that\nover ruled over England, \"should have\nleft so many descendants among the\nreigning houses of Europe.\nMeantime there is for the student of\nmedical anthropology the spectacle of\na series of Inbreeding intermnrrlngos\nthat demonstrates tbo dangers and effects of marital consanguinity. Por-\nhaps the lesson of the necessity for exercising more care as regards the relationship and other qualities of marital partners may thus bo taught by example. If It cannot be enforced by tho\nlegal measures that are now so commonly suggested. In n word, the history of the present reigning families of\nEurope is an open hook In which he\nwho runs mny rend tho evils of marriage where new blood Is not constantly introduced to modify the degenerative tendencies of the original stock.\nTbo lesson may be learned belter from\na \"horrible example\" than from the\noold logic of statistics on the subject.\nIT was to T>e a very great event-\n\u25a0twelve bulls were to make tholr\nentry, and some famous Spanish\n'bull-fighters  were  lo   prove   their\n| prowess, and the King was to be\nthere, and Portugal's handsome Queen.\n| Out along the white, dusty roads, on\npost the outskirts of tho town where\nolives and fig-trees peeped over the\nstone walls, and occasional palms\nreared their tall stems\u2014nil hurry, rush\n, and bustle, until at last the open dusty\nI plain was reached, and before us, like\nI a modern Coliseum, rose   the   great,\n' massive arena of the Bull Ring.    ,\nHow like  the Coliseum,   though,  in\nweak architecture, was the building;\n. and all the mass of sightseers pressing\non to their different corridors\u2014the poor\nto the sunny side, the richer to that in\nshade.\n1 Inside were the great arcades under\nthe arches, and the wide flights of steps\nto the various tiers of seats or rows of\nboxes.\n! Up wo wont to where our ticket told\nme was the fauteuil allotted to us\n(No. 106, first \"flla\"), a good position\nwe saw as wo entered the tier, and at\na \"coup d'oell\" the whole vast arena\nwas before us. Beneath was the level\nring where Toro would appear; on our\nleft the King's box, a Mauresque canopy In blue and gold, and draped In red\nand gold velvet. On our right and loft,\non this shady side of' the arena, the\nboxes are hung with bright draperies\nor blue, gray, and yellow, setting oft\nthe gay dresses of the ladies fanning\nthemselves In the boxes with tiny little\n\u25a0 Portuguese fans.\nI At lost a roar goes up from some 15,-\n000 \u25a0throats\u2014the arena will hold 20,000,\nbut it Is not packed\u2014and then exactly\nopposite us enter all the toreadors\u2014that\nla, all who take part In tho fight. Ca-\nvnllleros (or picadors, ns the Spanish\ncall them), bandnrllbelros, furcados,\nand the assistants dressed in rich Georgian costume\u20144ft red and blue satin\nj and velvet, with plumed flat (hats.\n! Two covallers mounted upon two\nmagnificent steeds, very unlike the\nwretched nnimals ridden Into the ring\nto be slaughtered at a Spanish bullfight;   a  dozen   bandarllliciros   and  a\n1 dozen furendos and the assistants, all\nj In their gay costumes, make a brilliant\nshow on the smooth arena.   The crash\ni of music, the roar of tho populace, nnd\n. the brilliant spectacle send the Portuguese blood to fever heat; and quickly,\nafter salutations to the King or President, all the toreadors retire and ono\nhorseman enters alone. A signal Is\ngiven, the doors nre thrown open, and\nI In rushes a fine black bull. Like an\narrow he makes for the horseman, who\nleaps aside; but Toro Is after bim, and\nchases him round the ring. With a\ndeft movement, Just as the bull's horns\nnearly reach the horse's flanks, the\ncavalier swerves nnd plants a dart In\nthe bull's shoulders; the matadors rush\nin, and distract the bull's attention\nwith their red cloaks. The bull no\nlonger cares for horse or man; the red\nrag Is his enemy, and he goes for It,\nand tosses und paws It and tramples on\nit until It is snatched from him, and a\nbandnrilhclro stands before him,\nwatches him; and leaps aside when\nToro tries to toss him.\nAt last, maddened, the bull rushes at\nbis tormentor, who races to the barrier of the arena, but halts there; and\nat the moment the bull's horns seem\nto touch him, plants his two decorated\ndarts well In the bull's shoulders nnd\nleaps the barrier. But the bull leaps\nafter him\u2014half his black body Is over;\nsome of the assistants leap Into the\narena at the safest side; but Toro falls\nand falls back Inside the arena, to start\nlo his feet again and rush for the matadors, who advance with their cloaks to\ndraw him toward them.\nIt Is these red clonks that prove how\ndull Is Toro In his rage. The matador\nholds tho red clonk at arm's length, tho\njull rushes nt It\u2014never nt the man\nholding it\u2014nnd the matadors pass the\ncloak over his head as he strives to gore\nIt; the bull turns and goes for it again,\nseemingly oblivious that a man Is moving It. Very agile and dexterous are\nthe matadors; but there seems no danger to them, so wholly Is tlio buU occupied with tbe cloak.\nNot so the bandarllhelros. To face a\nrushing bull even with padded horns\nuntil his hot breath is In your face, and\nhis horns lowered for the toss; to planl\ndarts scarcely two feet long In his\nshoulders, and leap aside ere the tose\nIs given, Is a feat of courage, great\nswiftness and agility; and mighty Is the\nshout from the vast crowd when this\nIs done deftly nnd neatly, and the barbs\nstick well In the bull's tough hide. As\nthe bulls get tired out with their tormentors, a group of eight or ten tame\nbulls, with long tube-like bells, are let\ninto the arena. These encircle the wild\nbull thnt nt once Is tamed; and these\ntrained bulls trot bim out of the circle\nto his den, and a fresh bull is then Introduced.\u2014James Baker In \"AInslee'a\nMagazine.\"\nFclth and Works.\nA piece of bright class-room repartee\ni-ouies from a Western college.

Its purpose, as it Is careful to\nInform the reader on Its first page, Is\nto \"boost books*\u2014our own and others,\"\nwith the distinction that \"the hooka\npublished by Josh, Gosh & Co. will be\nboosted without reference to lhe number of pounds sold, while the publications of other houses will be boosted\nonly when they have passed the dead\nline, which is fifty thousand pounds.\"\nThe book boosted In this particular\nissue Is \"Faggots oD Empire,\" by MisU\nBertha Bosh. \"Miss Bosh,\" we aro told\nfrom the \"Editor's Rocking Chair,\" \"la\nonly fifteen years old, but Is extremely\nbright for her age. She is a Chicago\ngirl, and has never traveled farther\nthan Oconomowoc, which makes her\nliterary feat ail .the more remarkable.\nFor 'Faggots of Empire' is a story of\nthe reign of Charlemagne, and the author betrays a singular acquaintance\nwith the local color of those times.\" Indeed, her narrative \"contains more\nfacts than the histories.\"   Moreover:\n\"The cloth used In binding the first\nedition would, If stretched end to end,\nroach from Chicago to Evanston.\nPlaced side by side the pages would\nroach from Chicago to Minneapolis.\nSmenred thinly, the Ink used would\ncover four townships. Ten million cockroaches could subsist for six months on\nthe binder's paste employed. Set up\nside by side, tho Individual letters In\nthe text would reach from San Francisco to the Hawaiian Islands. And\nthe hot air employed in boosting the\nbook would float ten thousand balloons.\"\nAnother interesting literary announcement is made to the effect that\n\"Josh, Gosh & Co. have been appointed\nWestern selling agents for the forthcoming book of Mr. Ernest Thompson-\nSeton (formerly Seton - Thompson),\nwhich Is to be titled 'Cheap Thompsons\nI Havo Known.' \" Tho \"Book Booster\"\nis replete with touching poems and\nthrilling serials, and \"The Stovepipe ot\nNavarre,\" a blood-curdling \"Bomnnce\nof Sword and Clonk,\" by Miss Poota\nPants, quite puts iu the shade nil current lllernry efforts along the same\nUno.\nWhat Did the Fakir Do?\nT _ T\" ONDEBFUL stories are told\n1 T 1 of the powers of the Hindu\nIII fakirs. Careful attention to\nVAX their tricks has not discovered their secret with\nany certainty, but Cnptaln James Parker, the English traveler, who has Just\nreturned from a tour of India, gives II\n[IS his belief that hypnotism Is the\nmenns by which they accomplish thoir\nmost Startling Illusions. One Incident\nwhich he describes seems to bear oul\nhis view.\nThe trick which Is acknowledged to\nlie the greatest of these Hindu mystic\nperformances, snys Captain Parker,\nand the one that hns been described\nby trustworthy persons too often to be\ndoubted, Is the ono in which tho fnklr\nthrows a bull of twine Into the air\nabove him, until It disappears from\nsight. The loose end of the string he\nholds In his hand, and after the boy\nassistant has climbed up the string until be. too, is out of sight, the fakir\nhimself follows, with a knife between\nIlls teeth.\nThe spectntors, surprised when both\nboy and man climb out of sight, nre\nhorrified when the boy's severed bend,\narms and legs, followed by the trunk,\nfall to the ground, nnd the man slides\ndown close behind. Tholr astonishment\nIs Increased when th\" fakir gathers the\nsevered members and restores the boy\n\u25a0to life.\nWell, I saw this performance once,\nand once I didn't tree it; and tlie latter\nexperience was more wonderful thnn\nthe other. I had somo London friends\nvisiting me, and after having left them\nfor a few minutes on the veranda of\nmy bungalow, I Baw, as I was returning, the same fakir and his assistant,\nwhom I had seen perform the trick,\nstanding about forty feet in front ot\nmy friends, apparently preparing lo\nbegin a performance, As I was about\nas far behind the natives as my friends\nwere In front of them, and had not\nboen observed, 1 stood quietly where I\nwas*\nTlie man placed a drawn knife between his teeth; took the usual ball ot\ntwine In his right hand, mnde a motion\nas If throwing It Into the air, and'\nthen stood perfectly quiet. My friends\non tbe veranda were looking Into .the\nupper air with astonishment on their\nfaces, which In a minute turned to a\nlook of horror as their eyes came back\nto the ground. In another minute their\ncountenances lighted up with pleasure,\nand they applauded roundly.\nThey could not say enough nbout the\nwonderful performance they had seen,\nand they were astonished beyond measure when I told them I had boen as\nnear the fnldr ns they, and hnd seen\nnothing of what had so wonderfully\nImpressed them.\nIf that was not hypnotism, what was\nit?\nThe Irreverent Phonograph.\nTHE Prince of Wales tells a good\nstory of how a morning service\nwns spoiled on the second Sunday's voyage of tlie \"Ophlr,\" There\nbeing every prospect of a dull afternoon, the Duchess of York BUggested\nsomething appropriate from the phonograph, and the Instrument was put\nthrough a rehearsal on th*' Sunday\nmorning   during   the   time  of   service.\nThe eabln in which the preparations\nwere made wns iwo decks hetow tho\nupper deck, but there wns an uptake\nwhich carried sound ns well as vitiated\nair, and so lhe following dialogue occurred:\nChaplain (giving out his tcxi)\u2014 The\nway of transgressors Is bard.\nPhonograph (musically)\u2014And you'vo\ngot a long way to go.\nIt took twenty minutes to find tbe\nphonograph, which persisted in Us unconscious brawling, nml by Hint 'time\nthe congrcgntion was neither large nor\nspiritually mlndod,\nOrdinary Teari\nold Gentleman\u2014Why do yoti ah\nBUch bitter tears, my hoy?
