"When a woman commits bigamy," he added, "the only harm done is that â- ome man is disappoiuted with matri- aionial life. When a man commits kiga :y it may be that some unhappy womau is ruined for lite." The judge bound over a inan ac- cused ot bigamy. lie said that there were circumstances .u Uis favor.

EMULS!i:pN5 r.lTAMIMSf A Portuflueae Bull-Fight On July 13, 1931, Cavaleiro Jose Caslmlro, the celebrated toreador, was making his farewell appearance at a "festa artlstlca" held in his honour at the Bull Ring In Lisbon. Ordin- arily, these performances are held on a Sunday afternoon but. In tflils parti- cular Instance, the gala event was held on a Monday night, commencing a.t 11 o'clock. The hotel, at whkh we were stop- ping, was not far from the Bull Ring and some of the party thought that they wou'd like the experience of at- tending the spectacle, widely known aa the favourite sport of Spanish and Portuguese peoples. We had but lit- tle Idea of what) was before us and the women of the party, especially, felt that, at least they might stay for the opening ceremonies and leave before any objectionable features came on. We had several surprises, before the evening wa.s over, but more of this later. When we arrived at the Bull Ring â€"a huge structure, occupying a whole city blockâ€" we found people pouring Into the entrances from every point. We had decided rather late, that we would go, consequently, only the cheaper seats, in the second gallery, were available. It was most Inter- esting to climb the wide stairs and take notice of the excited crowd that were making their way to their places. The interior of this iuge arena was open to tiie sky â€" we were rather glad of this later, as the air, in the vicinity of our seats was made more bearable thereby. One section of the bull ring was coveredâ€" ordinar- ily for the purpose of shade from the afllernoon sun; here were the highest priced seats (25 escudos, written 25J0O, worth $1.55 in our money); the cost of seats. In the gallery, where we went, was 8$00, or about 40 cents. We arrived in plenty of time to get our places â€" I was sitting on a slat- like seat, similar to those put up at t)he circus, and, part of the time, I am afraid that I wa.^ sitting on the feet of the person who wa.? in the row be- hind me. As far as. we could judge, we were the only English speaking people there â€" I am quiie sure that we were the only Canadians â€" but our neighbors were friendly, even to the extent of passing a wine-skin â€" out of which everyone was taking a swig â€" to us and inviting us to do likewise. It was fascinating to watch the crowd; exciting to listen to the band, and hear the animated talk all about us. The place was jammed with humaniti whose Interest in the pro- ceedings, about to take p'ace. was as tanse as our own. Presently we • ealized that something was about to happen. This was the parade around tihe ring, that preceded the actual combat. Here w^e had our first sur- prise; instead of the wrecks of horses, tihat we had been expecting â€" for we had read that only bioken-down ani- mals were used in bull-fighting â€" there appeared the most magnificent Arab-Portuguese steeds, ridden by beautifully dressed riders, c'ad in old- tlm© court costumes, with wigs and feathered hats, lace ruffles on the coiffs and front ot the coats, highly polished lyiee length boots and, carrying in their hands, hhe long lance-like sticks, later to be used when the bull appeared, .\ccompaiiy- ing these were the other perfomiers â€" the bandoleiros, picadors, etc. â€" each colorfully and attractively dress- ed and contributing to the fascina- tion of the scene. These latter were walking and. as Ohe parade proceeded around the ring and stopped In the centre, the excitement ot the audi- ence almost got beyond bounds. Hats were cast into the corkeovered arena; these were caught on the swords of the performers and thrown back in the direction from which they came. More hats were sent sailing across £pace and cheers resounded from all sides. The final and most stimul- ating moment came when the star ot the evening â€" Cavaleiro Jose Casi- miroâ€" came into the centre and, after bowing 10 the frenzied plaudits of the crowd, was kissed ou both cheeks by those of his associates wl o had come to bid him farewell to the ring. U was easily seen that he was the Idol of the Lisbon public and the de- monstration was only stopped by the anxiety of the people td ,?reet the ap- pearance ot the first of eight bulls that were to be used that night. Finally all retired, excepting those who were about to participate; the entrance Into the ring â€" immediately under where I wa.» sitting â€" opened to admit the first rider, who exhibit ©d his horseniansliii to the admiring throng. The spectacular curveting; of the beautiful snow-white anini.'il was an inheritance from the showy Arab riding in the days ot .Mo.><lem rule. Round and round he rode, put- ting his horse through vailo\is nianiie- uTr«9 and waving his plumed hat to the applauding populace. A bugle sounded a shrill tanlHrs- and the bull was admitted from an entrance at the side. There (he poor animal stood, with forelens bracivl, snorting from the nosirils. cye-n blink- ing in the fierce light and frightened and dazed by his unfamiliar surround- "Travel Impressions" have been coming to us each week.

One or two experiences In the i.eiglv- borhood of the Leaning Tower of j Pisa, will be the subject ot next • week's article. Cigrarette Stains At Tavistock Police Court, a solici- tor argued that a man must have means because his fingers were stain- ed with cigarette smoke, writes tIhe Manchester Guardian. He asked the man to show hJs hands to the court. becauB*, In his view, it amounted to "one ot tihe most valuable ways of testing a man's means." But the court declined to take that view â€" and the "means test' by stained fin- gers was not admitted as evidence. Most people will agree with the court. Cigarettes are cheap enough; sixpence will buy more than enough to stain the smoker's fingers If he keeps flie cigarettes, when lighted, in his hand rather than his mouth. The staining depends to a large ex- tent on the way in whlcJa a cigarette is held. If It' is always held so that the lighted end Is above the hand forty a day will not make much dif- ference to the fingers of the addict. If It Is held down so that the rising smoke surrounds tlie fingers one cig- arette wlU produce a recognizable stain. It is not the "nicotine" which comes through the paper that does the trick; it is the rising trail of smoke from the burning end that kippers the fingers that are exposed to It. And so, though al! litigants should come into court with clean hands', if they should happen to enter with be-yel- lowed fingers it implies no absolute certainty that they smoke dozens of "gaspers" a day. ings. One thing I noted, that the tips of his horns had been cut and the remaining portion covered and padded with heavy leather. Then three or four men, in toreador cos- tume, vaulted over the barricade and, by flaunting red and orange colored capes, tried to get the hull into ac- tion. Failing in this, the cavaleiro rode up and attracted the bull's atten- tio.i; this- time the bull charged, as if he would toss both horse and rider into the air but by a clever manipula- tion of the reins and the intelligent co-operation of the noble horse, both were uscatched, not before the rider, by leaning far over the crupper, gracefully planted a dart, covered with paper streamers between the hull's shoulders. We soon learned that it was unsportsmanlike for the rider to touch the bull unless during one of these charges. The audi- ence gave him his due meed of praise; the action was repeated with slight variations, several times and each time the rider scored a "hit" he acknowledged the ovation and again exhibited his horsemanship. By this time, even the ladies of our party were assured that tliere was no danger; the joviality ot the crowd; the excellent riding; the humour of seeing the men on foot vault over the fence, when the bu/!l came close to them; the huge amuse- ment of the spectatorsâ€" all this gave zest to ilie performance and. instead of leaving, they remained. When seven or eight hits had beeu registered, the bugle sounded again and. from the opening where the bull had entered, a herd ot tame oxen, carrying jangling eow-be'Is, were driven in by two fantastically garb- ed herders, each wielding long sticks. Before he knew it, the bull was man- pulated into the centre of this herd and escorted out of the ring. Six other bulls were thus dealt with before we left. Some showed more activity than others; the last one we i<aw, making a beeline for the rider as soon as he had entered the ring. The dexterity and techniq\ie of th© horse men, as well as the men on foot, provided plenty of thrills and prevented anythin,? approaching monotony. Some of the horses weie jet b'ack. .some were bay; all were su.ierb and apparently enjoyed their .share of the combat -if such a blood- less b"n-li,';ht could be termed a com- bat. In this respect it differs great- ly from the Sapnish variety; the na- tnre ot which 1 may describe on an- other occasion. I have already nienljoned the hour when the entertainment commenced. By the time six bulls had been handl- ed, the hour was clo.se to 1 o'clock in the nioniiiig. The Portnguese folk in the seats beside us remonstrat- ed, in a friendly fa.shion. a.gainst our departure, makl-iig signs to iuCorni us that the best was yet to come. How- ever, we decided to leavp but not be- fore 1 had purchased, from a small bo.v. one ot the paper covered darts that had been lodgetl in (he skin of Dogs Found Their Way A dog, which had lived on a farm in Iowa, was taken to Florida In a closed box-car. filled with household effects, a distance ot fifteen hundred miles. A few days after arriving an the new locality he disappeared, and weeks later was found on the porch of the house from which he had been removed. The dog had gone straight to his destination, though he had not seen the country through which he passed, and had known nothing of the direction taken. Such wisdom as this is positively uncanny. A bonny shepherd dog was lost from his owners and their car in the East, and given up for good, but three monUhs later he appeared at his old home in the Capital of Oregon; a staggering skeleton, to be sure, yet he was there. Th.is animal had fol- lowed the sun to the w^st tor more than ti\vo thousand nuiles, over boundless prairies, deserts; across rivers and mountain ranges, as true to his course as the beam ot a star. â€" Our Dumb Animals.

Milk of Genuine of Magiie«a Humming Bird In London Show Is Worth $5,000 Record Entry at Crystal Palace â€" Valuable Ejchibits Would Provide Ideal Feline Paradise London. â€" The National Show of Cag« Birds, which opened at the Crys- tal Palace recently, haa attracted a record entry of 5,000 birdsâ€" 600 more than the previous record. That the largest entry is of bud- gerigrars ('love-birds") â€" over 1,000 â€" ia hardly surprising, for these pom- pous "pocket parrots." with their solemnly interminable flirtations, their cheery tonall talk, and their delic&te perfections of color, are indeed pat- terns of all that pets shouH be. One of these escaped from its cage before the public went* admitted, and flew around the Ehowroom, Attempts to catch it with a butterfly net failed at first, but its tiny winKe «oon tired, and it was recaptured. Next in number to tbe budgerigars are canaries of every shade and shape, white, green, and cinnamon red. There are curioualy-coiffured "Crests" and "Coppys," hunchbacked "Scots Fancy" and monsti-ously uirfjolstered "Bel- gians " THE HO-MELY THRUSH. Besides these favoriteo a host of varieties, from the homely English thrush and hedge-sparrow to exotic foreign birds â€" Nature's jewellery. Among the&e last are tiny nectar- drinking humming birds, sunbirds, vain birds of paradise, and gorgeous tanagers. If these ai'e gems, their cost is pro- portionate. One ruby and topaz hum- ming bird is valued at £1,000. A fic- titious price, perh.ips, but one which the exhibitor modestly declares he would refuse ,or this scrap of gold and flame. If this ia exceptional, prices of £25, 250 and £100 rule com- monly enough to provoke the interest- ing â€" if unworthy â€" speculation as to how cheaply a healthy cat in noniial appetite could dine in such company. There are, too, birds with names which compel tiie layman to look ag:ain just to make sure, as the catalogue re- j veals classes for "guita and zosher- ops," "cockatiels and avadavats," "spider-hunters and flower-peckers, ' "siskins and bobolinks." Others am- ong the exhibits are: Wartled Honey-caters, White Eye- browed .Seedeaters, Fairy Bluebird, Purple Sunbird, Brazilian Babblers, S'lky Cow-bird3, Blood-stained Finch- es, Festive Tanagers, Red'-vented Bul- bul, Purple Sugarbird. The Marquis of Tavistock, who has a fine collection of parrots and birds of paradise at his Sussex home, judges the p;-.rrot section.
