THE WILD BULL.
IHIRILTLING FIGHT BETWEEN
BU'FFALO AND SIOUX.
Two Daring Indians With Bows and
Arrows Bring to the Dust the
King of the Herd-The
Last Charge.
said the short man. He did not
look over forty, but he must have
been more than fifty, for the tales
he told carriedl so much of the color
of the country that one found it diffi
cult to disbelieve them. Ho was an
ex-member of the Colorado Legisla
ture, and had come to Washington to
work for the passage of a bill to re
lieve railway employes, and was now
seated with a party of friends at one
of the small tables in the House res
taurant. His lifo had been varied and
interesting. He had been a cowboy,
an engineman, a railway postal clerk
and politician. The Spanish gentle
man had just finished an interesting
account of a bull fight whichhad taken
place at Barcelona, in which, by some
accident, the bull had the best of it.
"I saw a bull fight on the plains
once," said the short man, laying his
tools down, "right out in the open,
with nothing to hide behind,'nowhere
to stand but on, and nowhere to fall
but off,' as the deceased bard of St.
Jo would say.
"It was while we were locating the
line of the Union Pacific-simply
driving across the country and mak
ing observations. A couple of Sioux
fell in with our party and were riding
along looking for a chance to steal
something, when we came suddenly
upon a small herd of buffalo. The
rear guard, a sturdy old bull, was feed
ing along in a sag between the sand
hills, and, the wind blowing from him ,
to us, prevented him from scenting
our party until the two Indians dashed
by, cutting him off from the main
herd. Lowering his head the great
brute bounded away up the little hill,
at the top of which the two Sioux sat
waiting to receive him. Each of the
Indians carried a rifle, but to our sur
prise they were left hanging at the
saddles. The bull made straight for
one of the horses, but just as he
seemed about to collide the bron
cho sprang to one side and
an arrow from the Indian's bow
was driven deep into the back of the
bull. We expected the animal to bolt
now, but he was enraged and scorned "
to escape. Turning, he came straight
for the other Sioux, only to plow the
air close--alarmingly close-to the I
agile horse, which carried his rider I
safely to the rear. The first Indian 1
had by this time .fixed another arrow,
and when the charge was made blanted i
it deep behind the bull's left shoulder.
The fight had by this time become so i
exciting that our driver, forgetting
the danger, had driven up to within a
hundred yards of the scene of the 1
battle. Having bounded by one of
the Indians, carrying another arrow 1
away with him, the infuriated animal
caught sight of our wagon and drove [
straight for us. It was like standing on I
the track i$f front of a locomotive, and E
every man of us, realizing the great i
danger, was seized with a fear that al-.
most froze his blood. The driver was
so filled with terror that he made no I
attempt to avoid the collision, which,
from the moment the bull passed the
Indian, seemed inevitable. On he
came, siborting like a enowplow and I
looking as formidable, and not one of I
us had presence of mind enough to
reach for a rifle. We were too badly
scared to move, but not so with the
Sioux. Seeing our danger the brave
fellows turned their horses and came
galloping past the bull, one on either
side, and as they passed him each
drove an arrow into the mad brute.
These new wounds seemed only to in
crease his rage, and on he came, tear
ing toward us, but be'ore they reached
our wagon, the Indians whirled their
horses, and with arrows drawn stood
between us and the approaching
buffalo. The horses had barely time
to turn before the bull was upon
them. One of the broncoi sprang
away, his rider emitting a wild yell as
he sent another arrow into the bleed
ing bufialo. The other Indian wis not
so fortunate. His horse failed to clear
and one of the bull's horns caught in
its side just behind the girth and 4
plowed a great furrow back to the
flank.
"The buffalo appeared to appreci
ate the advantage of this thrust, and
at once turned and charged the un
horsed Sioux. The Indian might
have ended the fight by takinw up his I
rifie, but he did not. Standing erect
at the side of his dead horse he faced
the rapidly advancing foe and sent an I
arrow deep under the shoulder blade.
As the arrow left the string the Indian I
dropped beside the body of his horse I
and the buffalo passed over him with-I
out doing any damage. Now the
mounted Sioux claimed the attention a
of the wounded buli, and again the
Sionx on foot. By this time the buf
falo fairly bristled with arrows and
resembled a huge porcupine. We i
could see that the animal was getting
groggy, as they say of prize fighters, i
but his sand seemed never to leave
him. With a roar that would send a
chill down your spine, with blood I
spurting from his nostrils, he would
drive like a hurricane at his tormen- I
tors, who, with the exception noted, I
seemed to avoid him by about the
breadth of two hairs. When they had 1
fought five minutes the earth for the
space of fifty feet about resembled a I
plowed field. The one living horse was I
flecked with the froth of battle and,
like the buffalo, showed unmietak- I
able signs of exhauston. As the ac- 1
tion of the bull grew slower, thei
horseless Sioux fought further from I
cover. At times he would stand forth
in the very face of his furious adver
asry and after discharging his arrow
leap to one side while the monster
brushed by.
"We were surprised at the begin
ning of the fight to see the Indians
using their bows, allowing their rifles
to remain at the saddle, but our sur
prise was still greater now, when the
mounted Sioux turned his horse about
and left the field, leaving his compan
ion to fight it out single-handed.
The bull seemed to take new courage,
finding but one of his assailants, and
for a time fought desperately. Of a
sudden he stopped, facing the Indian.
With his front feet far apart he ap
peared to rest, perhaps to collect his
fast failing strength. lHe was an ob
ject now to excite one's pity, and, al
though it may seem unchristian, I al
most wished he could win, for in those
days there were nearly as many In
dians as buffaloes and they were infi
nitely more dangerous.
"An arrow had destroyed one of the
bull's eyes, blood was rushing from
his mouth and nostrils and trickling
from a score of wounds along his
spine. His life blood was ebbing
away, and now, seeing his tormentor
standing before him, he made a last
desperate effort to reach him. With
a mighty roar the bleeding brute
bounded forward, and it seemed to us
that he had regained all his lEst
strength, for he went with the speed
and force of an express.train. The
daring Sioux drew another arrow and
let it drive into the buffalo, made a
leint of dodging to the right, and
then, leaping far to the left, let fly
another arrow as the baffled bull went
by.
"The buffalo was by this time ac
quainted with the Sioux's tricks, and
the moment he passed the Indian,
whirled and came back at his adver
sary with renewed vigor. The Sioux,
surprised perhaps by the suddenness
of the charge, leaned back, stumbled,
and nearly fell backward over the
body of his dead horse. Before he
could regain his feet the animal was
upon him. It seemed that in another
moment the Indian would be tossed
high in the air, but the new lease of
life the bull had was out, and in that
moment in whicti we had looked to see
him triumph, the great beast stum
bled and fell in a heap at the Sioux's
feet. "-Cy Warman, in New York Sun.

dentist on record.
Gold-filled teeth are found in the

Wetting a brush and dipping it in

Dental science was utterly lost to
the world during the dark ages, or for
about 1000 years, and was only res

Out of 100 teeth .of adults that
twenty-five years ago would have been
ruthlessly drawn at least ninety-nine

Weight Before and A'fter 15eals;
Why is it that a man does not weigh
a pound more after Eating a pound of
food than he did before? A little re
flection will readily explain this ap
parent mystery. During the process
of mastication, deglutation, etc., cer
tain muscles are brought into active
play. Now, it is a well-established
fact in physiology that the exercise of
any mu-cle or set of muscles necessi
tates a temporary waste of tissue, and
that a certain amount of carbon is
eliminated and passed off in the course
of a meal. This loss, however, is tri
fling as compared with that of respira
tion and perspiration, both of which
functions are increased during the
operation of making a meal.
The length of time one may take to
consume a pound of food makes but
little difference in the losses. If it be
eaten very leisurely'there is but slight
increase of respiration or perspiration.
Whereas, if it be hurried through both
are abnormally accelerated. Hence by
the time the meal is finished the con
sumer has lost appreciably in both
moisture and carbonic acid.
The above explains, in a rough but
clear manner, why it is that a man may
eat a pound of food and yet not weigh
but from one-third to live-eighthe of
a pound more tihan he did before the
meal.
A Judge of ('rand Opera.
It is oustomary at the opera house
in Mexico for a judge of the perform
ance to be appointed, whose duty it is
to see that other artists are not sub
stituted for those advertised; that the
waits.between the acts are not too
long and that things generally are
managed to the satisfaction of the pub
lie. It is said that on one occasion,
when Patti was singing in a company
managed by Mr. Gran, strict orders
had been given that no one was to be
admitted behind the scenes. It hap
pened that the son-in-law of President
Diaz had been appointed judge and he
was refused admittance. On leaving
he gave orders to arrest the man who
had opposed his entrance. Not find
ing him the soldiers arrested another
man. who, not being able to speak
Spanish,was marched offto prison, and
it was several hours before the matter
was explained.

Manufacturing Bairpins.
For ages the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pins, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in other countries to any ex
tent. The machinery usedis of a del
icate and intricate character, as the
prices at which the pins are sold ne
cessitate the cheapest and most rapid
process, which can only be secured by
automatic machines, says Pearson's
Weekly.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in a clamp, and so
carried to the machine while being
straightened. This machine outs,
I bends, and, by a delicate instantsan
eous process, sharpens the points.
Running at full speed it will turn out
120 hairpins every minute. To econ
omize, it is necessary to keep the en
gines going day and night.
The difficult part of the work is in
the enameling, which is done by dip.
ping the pins in a preparation and
baking in an oven. It is here tha't the I
mnost constant and carefal attention is
required, as the pine must be abso
lutely smooth and the enamel have a
perfect polish. The shlghtest parti
cles of dust cause imperfections and
roughness.

It is proposed to send 40,000 un

ADIEU TO THE DAIRY MAID.
An English engineer, who has just
leturned from a visit to the annual ex
hibition or show of the Royal Agricul
tural Society, held this year in Leices
ter, writes that the poetry of the
dairy is fast disappearing. In the
future all the processes will be con
ducted by automatic machines, pre
sided over by a professor, sitting in a
bacteriological laboratory. The cows
will-be milked by machinery, and then
the mammary fluid will run through
pipes into sterilized vats for distribu
tion to our homes, or into separators,
which will, in a few minutes, convert
it into butter and skimmed milk. The
dairy maid will disappear, or will be
converted into a young lady whose talk
will be as full of scientific terms as
that of a hospital nurse Our de
sceniants will be aghast at our temer
ity in drinking milk straight from the
cow, and will wonder what kind of di
gestion we had to dispose of the mil
lions of bacteria which seem to make
the farmyard their special haunt. Me
chanical appliances were exhibited at
the show for nearly every brand of
dairy work. The sterilization of milk
was made a prominent feature, and
one of the exhibits illustrated a
method of sterilizing milk in bottles or
cans. The bottles have rubber-seated
stoppers, and are tilled with milk
which has been strained and filtered.
They are then put into steam-heated
ovens and the milk raised to temliera
tures raniging from 100 degrees to 212
degrees; a temperature of 160 degrees
maintained for an hour is said to be
sufficient to kill all dangerous germs,
but if the milk is intended to be kept
for some time, it is necessary to al
low it to cool and then heat it a sec
ond time. When the steam is turned
off in the oven, the stoppers seat them
selves tightly on account of the con
densation of the vapor in the necks of
the bottles.
Among the butter making mackin'es
was one which consists of a centrifu
gal separator delivering its cream to
an inclined rotating surface, over
which it moves slowly, beingtheresub
ject to a continuation of the separat
ing action. According to the inventor,
the globules of fat here become dis
entangled from the watery particles
with which they are associated and
coalesce into butter granules, just as
small globules of mercury will collect
into larger ones. Tihe appa'ratus is, in
fact, a double separator; first the milk
divides into cream and skim milk, and
the cream separates into butter and
skim milk. The size of the granules
of butter can be regulated by the speed
at which the milk is run into the ap
paratus. In a trial made at the show,
eighteen gallons of milk produced live
pounds and three ounces of butter, the
process being conducted at thelowtem
perature of sixty-three degrees Fah

had been growing in my back for a period of

seemed fruitles. I grew worse and worse.

Gladness Comes
WJith a better understanding of the
v transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts-gentle efforts--pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemted so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy tyhich promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it actas. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the Californi
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended tothe most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
