The bull must know what the sharp, gleaming blade is for, because he begins to charge sideways never with full head and shoulders on, so that the matador can get the vital point. So charge after charge is made by the bull, and skillfully avoided by the Diablo, who is getting somewhat piqued and altogether mad. Never before in his life has he fought with the superb skill that he now displays Carrambas! this toro requires skill. The audience is wild with enthusiasm from loud ron.rs of applause, and showers of purses and hats and flowers into the ring, they have passed into absolute silence, all on their feet, watching with breathless delight the magnificent display of brute force against mans skill, of Spanish bull fighter against Spanish bull. In truth, it is magnificent. The bull is beginning to pant and tremble even more as he plunges at the matador. It Is time to kill, because if not more play will exhaust the beast, and the killing will be less effective. So now for the death thrust! El Diablo places himself ready and lifts the sword, just as the bull recovers from a rush forward and turns again to attack. On tiptoe, with sword raised, the matador is ready. At that moment, like a lightning flash, comes the thought of the matador who had taught him, years ago, that tiptoe thrust, the most effective and graceful kill there is known. Poor Joaquin! The faintest glimmer of remorse touches the man who killed him but before he has time to think the bull Is close upon him, quivering with rage, and all blood covered. Quickly the matador leaps forward, his arm raised high, and the glittering point of his blade on an exact line with the vital point of the. neck he half closes his eyes to see better yes, that will just do it! It will be a pretty stroke! Even as he smiles triumphantly with the thought, a voice is raised high above all noise of the ring a voice that makes the matador quiver from head to feet, just as the bull, almost upon him, does a voice, heavy with hate, and sweet with the southern accent of Spain: Dog of a murderer! Remember Joaquin! Paralyzed, unable to move, the matador stands helpless; before the people up above can even see that something is wrong, there is a sickening crunch, a horrible cry that no one present can ever forget, and the bull, at last triumphant, is trampling and tearing a still, bloody mass of violet and silver and gold, that Is now trickling all over with blood; men and women are cursing and fainting and weeping, but to no avail; for the matador Diablo has met his death thrust; he has gone now to settle his accounts with the Judge even of bull fighters, for the man ha had murdered! No one can locate the owner of the voice that had cried out, in the stir and excitement and terror she is forgotten. And while they are all screaming and cursing and jostling, and the bull Is still tearing and pawing at the something that had been El Diablo, a very dark and still beautiful woman over in the sol, half hidden by a big pillar, looks down Into the ring with a triumphant smile on her face, and hate and satisfied revenge in her Spanish eyes. It is Dolores! Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. European Population Changes. AYhile the population of Europe, which was estimated at 175,000,000 In the beginning of the century, rose to 216,000,00 in 1830, 300,000,000 in 1870, and is now nearly 370,000,000, there has been a still more remarkable Increase In the number of towns with over 100.000 inhabitants. There were only of these in 1801 (with twenty-on- e 4.500.000 in inhabitants); forty-tw- o 1850; seventy in 1870 (with 20,000,000 inhabitants), and 121 in 1896 (with about 37,000,000 inhabitants). In 1801 France had three towns with over 100.000 inhabitants, while England and Germany had two each, but In 1870 the figures were: England eighteen, Germany ten and France nine, while in 1896 they stood, England thirty, and France ten.

No feelings, no doctrines, no practices are good and true in themselves, which we do not, in some degree at least, feel to be good and true. The thought that we cannot barm another without suffering injury ourselves should make a deep and lasting impression on our minds.
