A Feminine Bull Figlitor in the City of Mexico. Fastened to Stilts She Conquers Two Savage Bulls With Ease. A City of Mexico letter to the Iudian apolis Journal says: Just prior to the taking effect of flic decree against bull fighting, 1 was fortunate enough to wit ness a contest in which one of the most skillful,daring and expert of the profes siou il fighters of Mexico took a leading part. This perforator was a young wo man, whose equal has probably never appeared iu the “Plaza do Toros.” In this, her farewell exhibition, Seuorita Hernandez advertised for the wildest and fiercest bulls the country could pro¬ duce, and agreed to fight them while wearing stilts. The novelty of a young girl engaging in a bull fight handicapped by having stilts fastened to her feet was sufficient to attract a vast crowd, and on the day fixed for the event fully 5,000 persons found places to sit or stand in the largo amphitheatre. The animals provided for the occasion were small, active, and wholly untamed, each having his horns trimmed and polished until the points were as bright and almost as sharp as needles. Never was more expert work done in this cruel sport than was coolly performed by the Mexican girl on that day. As the bull, mad with rage, would make his furious charge, she would stand until he had approached within a distance of about throe feet, when, suddenly springing to one side, she would, as the anima' rushed furiously by, with one hand slap him in the face with the red cloak with which bis anger had been first aroused, while with the other hand she dextrously thrust into his nock a gaudy barbed “bandcrilhi,” causing him to roar with pain and rage. Charge after charge was made by the maddened ^ brute, only to be eluded by the active girl, while tlie bull met the same treatment as be fore. The little senorita played with him, plagued him, and tortured him as a cat would a mouse, until the animal, bleeding and sore and worn out with fatigue and pain, gave up the contest and would fight no more, He had met ids conqueror, and was taken from the ring. In the next contest the fair Castilian was under an advertised obligation, while y ut wearing the stilts, to kill the bull with a sword scarcely two feet in length. This was to be done by the torcadora at t * 1C ^ me ^ le aa * ma ^ was making the Charge, tfte fxtitf while siio was directly in front of and fairly facing tlie bull. 'flic animal selected for this contest w^ a beautiful specimen of bis race. Blkek as coal, agilo as a cat, savage and wild, lie was no sooner within tlio arena than he was ready for the battle. After be had been permitted to make a charge or two to warm him to his work, the governor, who presided on the occa¬ sion, gave a signal and the bugle sound¬ ed the “death call.” The seuorita, with stilts of one foot in height securely fastened toiler limbs, received the short sword, saluted the governor, and turn¬ ing to her enemy gave a shout of defi¬ ance and waved her scarlet cloak to rouse his anger. At this time the dis¬ tance separating the nntogonists xvas almost 200 feet. Toro, quivering with excitement and pawing the earth in his rage, waited for no second invita tion. With Hashing eyes and head lowered to the ground, he started at full speed for the object of his hate. The brave girl waited until the beast was within twenty feet, xvlien, bracing licr self firmly, she held her sword at shoul Jer height, ready for his coming. When Within about , four , feet., , sllO . tlireW , , her j,ody suddenly forward, gave a quick thrust with the sword, and, without waiting to see the effect of the blow, swung quickly around and again saluted the governor. In the twinkling of an eye she turned to face the bull, and as she did so he dropped dead, so close to her that, without moving from her posi¬ tion, she placed one foot upon the neck of her now helpless enemy. Ti e sword, directed by the strong arms of tiie self-possessed girl, had severed the spinal cord, and death was instantaneous an 1 probably painless. It was a perilous f' at, skill.u v and fear k ' s ' ! -v performed, and the slightest nervousness on the part of the perform- r would probably have r suited in her death. The great audience, in recognl tion of the skill of the torcadora, rose to its feet, and for scv ral moments there was a shower of ; oM and silver coins falling nrou d tlie . jetorious girl, Johnny’s Interpretation. “Why!’’ exclaimed littl Johnny, when he heard his father telling about somebody , who , looking , , . after , the .. was loaves and fishes, “that’s just what mamma says abou: uncle II nry.” “Says about uncle II nry! ’ repeated his father in astonishment, “what do you mean?” “Why, pa, don’t you know,” said John¬ ny, “mamma says unc e Henry only loafs and fishes.-— [Boston Transcript. Heeiless slippers of scarlet velvet are the latest for hou3e wear, and offer great temptation* for kicking them off. A Wonderful Clock. Miles Hughes, lor the past seven years, has been devoting his spare moments to a hobby in the form of a dock, won¬ derful alike in design and execution. The framework stands about seven feet high; the front is embellished with carved work and baud painting. The dial, lf> inches in diameter, shows the second minute and Tiour, ranging from 1 to 24; also the days of the week and month in separate circles. An inner ring displays figures corresponding to the ‘•twelve-hour” system, thus furnishing two readings—one of twelve hours and the main one of twenty-four. The only other notable feature of the clock proper is that the interior mechanism is unusu¬ ally simple, containing half the ordinary number of wheels, while forming cor¬ rectly a greater variety of work. By an ingenious adjustment of the lower and upper works, a very sensational effect is reached in the artistic canopy, a strange device. At every quarter the twelve apostles are seen to march out at one door and in at another, iu semi-circle, in front of a figure intended to represent Christ. Peter is seen to turn his back upon the Savior. Overhead is the in¬ scription “Beware of Temptation,” and j a hand pointing leftward to a bar in front of which a dude is seen approach- ■ ing a portly aproned “host,” who re ceives contemptuously his visitor's over¬ tures to “stand him off. ’ At the ex¬ treme left a curtained door of the ad join¬ ing saloon opens and discloses a poliec fnau iu the act of getting away with his mug of beer. At the extreme right is an aperture out of which figures ropro seating “Childhood,” “Youth," “Man¬ hood,” “Old Age,” emerge to correspond with the first, second, third and last quarters of the hour. Not the wonderful thing about the clock is the fact that the .bulk of its elaborate carved work was done at odd times by means of a jack-knife and that some of the richer effects were - produced from cigar boxes,—[Buffalo Courier. The (Hunt Hints of Nov Zoahtu I. The discovery < f th D.nornis by the illustrious zoologist, Richard Owen, is famous as one Of the most notable foals in the history of science.
