President Obregon of Mexico has fflven his sanction to bull fighting by appearing one Sunday afternoon when Rodolfo Gaona and Erflesto Pastor fought Jointly. He occupied a ring side seat When Pastor, playing the last bull, made what appeared to be a death thrust the President arose to leave and the band Immediately struck up the national anthem. The bull, however, was not dead and start ed to charge. At the sound of the an them he stopped in his tracks, lowered his head, and with Pastor standing at rigid attention not three feet from the bull's horns, the hymn was completed. A second later the bull tumbled over dead. Veteran flghtgoere asserted the spectacle was the strangest ever seen In the Mexico City arena.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Domestic science Is being taught in most communities, and the graduates Increase ev*ry year. Most of these girls, after their training, go Into institutional and hotel work, Into teaching, into hospital service, set up tea and lunch shops, and follow allied lines. But positions like these are not always Immediately available. Put domestic cooking In tlfe same class, and many a girl could earn a good sal ary and live comfortably until she found some more advanced work. One way in which this will be brought about is in the growing use of cooks and house workers generally by the hour Instead of the month. Such workers get more salary, but no lodging, and only the meal or meals they serve. But such workers are paving the w*y for the proper recog nition of domestic work as a dignified and important profession, one for which adequate training Is essential, and which has the right to claim re spect and consideration. There is a big future In domestic work. With the tremendous advance 1 In electrical machinery for the home the actual work is growing to be both easy and agreeable. It is high time that the social stigma should disap pear, and the advance In salaries it going to help largely to accomplish this result. (Copyright.) o ON THE WAY.

Its remoteness makes for romance, and a writer in the West Coast Leader believes that Titicaca scenery has been too glowingly painted in "tourist arti cles" intended for armchair read ing in North America. It is just an enormous pool of ice water, he declares, with treeless cliffs for ahores. Nevertheless, the whole re gion is full of the primitive, the perilous and the picturesque. The Indians still cross the 110 miles of the lake in the strange reed balai which the Incas used before the coming of the Spaniard. It is fash ioned simply from four bundles of the huge reeds which grow in pro fusion along the edges. Two large bundles form the body of the craft and two smaller its railings. Even the sail is made of reeds lashed to gether. For Peruvians, comfortable steam ers, with staterooms and dining service, ply back and forth high above the world, and make the cir cuit of the shore in three days. >But Titicaca Indians, next to those of the interior Amazon region, are the most primitive in Peru. Wonderful Nevada Opal. The mines of Humboldt county. No ▼ada, have produced every kind of opal known to science. Tbe greet black opal found there some years-ago waa the largest ever discovered, weigh ing 16.19 troy ounces, or, in jewelry phraseology, 2,666 karats. It Is nearly 4 Inches long, 3 1-8 Inches wide and averages 2 1-8 Inches In thickness. It Is, In short, about half the size of an ordinary brick. At $0 a karat Its value would be more than $15,000, but Its great size Increases the value to the point w lie re It Is worth whatever a gem fancier will pay for It. The highest rating ever obtained for an opal was that for a gem from Hun gary, which was estimated to bp worth f250,000. On the same basis of rating the Nevada gem would be worth as much. listen cy to roll. Sat la ■ c oll P l *** for 24 hours.
