Toronto Mfiil and Empire: A strange story comes from Priuce Ed ward island. On Saturday last, about the time a hailstorm was raging at Union Road, George W. Ritchie, of Charlottetown, observed a pheno menon. Mr. Ritchie wbb driving from St. Peter’s to Mount Stewart and noticed ahead of him t.wo dark columns extending downward from the clouds. These columns resembled smoke ascending from a chimney on acalm day. Mr. Ritchie thought little about the matter until he neared Mount Stewart, when his attention was attracted by seeing in the road and along both sides ot it a great number of young frogs. They were green in color, and averaged about one and one-half inches in length. The place was dry and not the sort of louality where frogs are usually found. About three hundred yards away was a mill-pond where frogs congregate, and it is though that the waterspout, passing over the place, sucked-up the frogs and carried them where they were found by Mr. Rit chie. BolUghlwi Afraid ol Com, It will probably not surprise ottr readers to bear that most. Spanish bull fighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has noth ing whatever to do with It The fact Is that the average toreador Is sincerely afraid of a cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are inpcb quicker In their movements than are the hulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their bends to the ground, shat their eyes and charge like a locomotive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every move ment of their persecutors. Their war like tactics have been adapted not to blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the human bullfighter Is only a feeble mimic. If these cheap Idols of the Spanish populace would face young and active wild cows which had Just been robbed of their calvea they might perhaps forestall the butch er, but they would, at any rate, do something to earn their laurel*.—Pear- snn’a.

If a man fancies a girl, lie seizes her by the hair of the bead, wherever she may be. despite her pro testations. and drags her away to his home. Her resistance Is not often seri ous, the pretense of refusal being due to the coquottUhness Inherent In the sex.
