DUELING IN EUROPE.
m Xkessaad a Tear In Trance and 2,739
Jels Is. Tea Tears la Italy.
Mere dnels are fought in Germany
-fcan in any other country. Most of
J&em, however, are student duels,
Which culminate in nothing more seri
' nus than slashed cheeks or torn scalps.
Of all German university towns little
Jena and Gottingen are most devoted
to the code. In Gottingen the number
of duels averages one a day, year in
and year out. On one day several years
ago 12 duels were fought in Gottingen
in 24 hours. In Jena the record far one
day in recent times is 21. Fully 4,000
student duels are fought every year in
the German empire. In addition to
these there are the more serious duels
between officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the nnrrnnT
number of duels is about 100.
Nesfc to Germany, France is most
given to the dueling habit. She has ev
ery year uncounted meetings, "merely
to satisfy honor" that is, merely to
give two men the opportunity to wipe
cut insults by crossing swords or firing
pistols in such a way as to preclude the
slightest chance of injury. In the duel
statistics these meetings are not reckon
ed, as they are far less perilous thn-n
even the German student duels- Of the
serious duels, France run boast fully
1,000 from New Tear's to New Year's.
The majority of these are among army
officers. Here than half of these result
in wounds, nearly 20 per cent in seri
ous wounds.
Italy has had 2,759 duels in the last
ten years and has lost 50 citizens by
death on the field of honor. Some 2,400
of these meetings were consummated
with sabers, 179 with pistols, 90 with
rapiers and 1 with revolvers. In 974
cases the insult was given in newspaper
articles or in public letters regarding
literary quarrels, ilore than 700 princi
pals were insulted by word of mouth.
Political -discussions led to 559, reli
gious discussions to 29. Women were
the cause of 189. Quarrels at the gam
Tiling table were responsible for 189.
A summary shows that, as regards
numbers, the sequence of dueling coun
tries is: Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria, Russia. As regards dead liners of
duels Italy comes first. Then came Ger
many, France, Russia and Austria in
the order named. For the most serious
duels the pistol is the favorite weapon
in all five countries. .New York Sun.
OBJECTS OF WORSHIP.
It Is In That Way That Savages Usually
Hesard Meteorites.
Savages, whenever they come across
meteorites of large sire, are apt to re
gard them as objects of worship. Such,
however, was not the dignified fate of
a- very remarkable specimen that is now
in the .National museum. This strange
aerolite is four feet in diameter, weigh
ing 1,400 ponnds approximately, and
has the shape of a ring. It was found
in the Santa Catarina mountains, and
for a long time was used as an anvil by
Mexicans at Tucson. In this employ
ment it was discovered by Dr. Irwin of
the United States army, who bought it
far a small sum and gave it to the
Smithsonian institution. Doubtless the
fubstanee of this meteorite originally
was largely stony, but the stony parts
became disintegrated and disappeared
after it fell, leaving the ring of iron.
Of 400 meteGrs that have been seen ac
tually to fall, only about a dozen were
metallic,, the Test being mainly of stony
material, though containing more or
less iron.
On the other hand, nearly all of the
meteorites picked up in a casunl way
are masses of metaL It is probably the
case that a great majority of such bod
ies are stony, but meteorites of that de
scription do net attract notice when ly
ing on the ground. AH of these facts
are extremely interesting in view of the
belief now entertaineod by science that
the composition of meteorites throws
light upon the make up of the terrestrial
globe. In fact, according to this the
ory, the make up of the earth is much
like that of the average meteorite. Ob
viously the moment this assumption is
made the study of the structure of me
teorites comes to have extraordinary im
portance, far man's knowledge of the
planet cm which he lives is restricted
almost entirely to the surface of it. The
bowels of the earth remain almost un
known. Washington Post.

The London lady tells this amusing
anecdote of Queen "victoria's childhood:
The Duchess of Kent was Queen Vic

which tells that there was in the Duke
of Hent's household a gentleman called
Mr, Brown. The princess' father called ;
him Brown, so the princess imitated
him, and used to call him Brown, but
the duchess, her mother, said she was
not to call him Brown, but Mr. Brown, j

The Tarheel.
An Arkansas lawyer, who was a na
tive of North Carolina, not long ago
wanted to inform a juror, also a native
of North Carolina, that they both hail
ed from the same state. So he dropped
Eome chewing gum, stepped upon it,
and pretended that his heel had stuck
to the floor. This gave him an opportu
nity to say that he was a Tarheel
and that the warmth of the room had
made the tar run. The verdict proved
that the Tarheels stuck together. New

DEMISE.
They had been three years married.
They adored one another. She was
young. He was young also. Two happy
faces! Two charming sou Is I
"Why had they come to this little old
and isolated village 100 leagues from
Paris? Surely the guides had never rec
ommended it. Here the grass grew be
tween the caved in paving stones of
the streets. And one could hear now
and then, with its jolting and jogging,
the jingling of bells and the rattling of
windows, the yellow coach, which re
turned, nearly always empty, from the
distant railway station.
It was Cecile who had thought of
thistrip. Bogerhad atSrstsaid, "No,"
but she, coming closer to him, said
coaxingly:
"Was it not down there in the little
village, close to the mountains, that
you were born, passed your childhood
and became a man? Was it not there
you lived with your aged parents, over
wham we wept together a year since?
I wish to see the gcod old country
house cf which you have so often spo
ken. And the garden, too, which seem
ed so large when you were a little child.
You shall show me the well where you
used to throw stones to hear them
splash in the water the tulip tree,
where you found the nest of doves. I
want to see the read you traveled to
the schcolhouse. You used to stop by
the way to eat mulberries, little gour
mand that you were. Howl shall laugh
as I picture you passing by, when yea,
Boger, were not taller than a boot and
ware short trousers. On your arm you
carried a basket in which your mother
had placed a luncheon of bread and pre
serves. No, Boger, I Ehall not laugh.
Do nos think me so frivolous. If I wish
to go down there to your native village,
it is because I love you I love you so
well and because I am jealous of a
past in which I have no share. Perhaps
some day you might think of these
things without thinking of me. Tis
this that grieves me so. Take me where
you were, mingle mo with that which
once surrounded you, so that hence
forth you may never have a reverie in
which I ara not a part, so that I may
never be absent from your memories,
however distant they may be." Speak
ing thus, she raised her lips to his, and
he consented (not without an air of
melancholy) because of the proffered
kiss.
The first days passed in this little
village were adorable ones. Cecile en
joyed everything in the great, lonely
place. Even the ugly, somber streets
delighted her. The villagers who pass
ed turned to look after her, marveling
at her Parisian grace.
One evening there was a fete in front
of the town hall a sheeting gallery,
three turnstiles and some wooden
horses, lime. Prudence, the clairvoy
ant, was there. Cecile entered the wom
an's place to learn her fate.
"No cnmy seeks to harm you, and
every possible happiness is yours."
"Ah, I know it," cried Cecile, fall
ing impulsively upon her husband's
aieck, to the astonishment cf the clair
voyant. She visited the old house where Sog
er's mother had died. "What a pity we
are not rich enough to buy it," she
said. Then she made him relate, with
many details, the life he had led when
a boy at wbat hour he arose, at what
hour he went to bed. She wanted to
know, too, the place at table occupied
by each, member of ihe family and to
hear of those evenings when he sat be
neath the- lamp reading aloud, while the
old mother, listening, would fall asleep
in the great armchair, herfeet upon the
fender.
Bnt the garden interested her most of
all. She at once recognized the well,
and she in her turn dropped in stones
to hear them splash in the water.
There were no more doves1 nests in
the tulip tree. "What a pity I"
Behind the hedge ran the road to the
schcolhouse. Cecile stained her red
lips nearly black with the juice of the
mulberries, and so happy was she that
her eyes became clcnded with tears of
joy. She followed where Boger led.
He was charmed to see her so tenderly
affected. He, however, was very silent
and smiled but little, trying in vain to
hide a feeling of deep sadness. Tea, tru
ly, after they had returned to the little
village he was pensive and morose.
One morning he dressed in haste and
Quickly left the inn where Cecile was
still sleeping. He did net even place
upon her forehead or lips the kiss that
would have awakened her.
He traversed the village, passed the
last house and entered a graveyard.
He stopped in front of a slab of stone
upon which was inscribed a name,
"Denise," and the age, "15 years."
Here he fell upon his knees, his face
buried in his hands. Bcger had not
told all to Cecile. He had not related
all his youthful memories. She did not
know that he had loved when a child
another child; that the poor little one
aad died in the autumn, before having
received his first kiss. But Boger hadl
Dever forgotten her. Now, before this
grave where he had knelt down, he
seemed to see her again alive, and so
pretty, with her sweet, pale eyes and
delicate lips which would never again
be red. Ee lived ever again those fur
tive hours of their rendezvous behind,
the garden hedge, the hope, the impa
tience w?th which he awaited the let
ter which Denise every day as she re
turned from Echool would Elip beneath
the gate. Here in the silence of the
graveyard he seemed to hear her voice.
Bnt -the bitter certainty that she was
dead, a -vision of the head as it rested
upon a pillow of flowers, of the pale
forehead and closed eyes, overwhelmed
Mttt, He suffered again, after ten years,
as he suffered before. PHs eyes closed
and tears fell from beneath his lashes.
There was a noise behind, him. He
tamed. Cecile, who had followed him,
was standing there close to him. She
looked at him. She looked at the grave.
She must have read the inscription, and
surely she had divined all. He arose
trembling. He dared not say a ward to
his wife nor take her hand. He moved
aside, walked away from her and pass
ed out of the graveyard with the air of
a child that, being caught in some for
bidden act, takes to flight.
He walked a long time it mattered
not where across the fields, not know
ing whither he went, not having the
courage to enter the village. He feared
to meet Cecile, far, loving and jealous
as he knew her to be, she would be furi
ous or sad, which would be still worse.
Surely she knew now what he had so
long hidden from her. She knew that
he had loved a young girl that he had
loved her tenderly, since he still wept
far her. Perhaps she would have par
doned him this early love this love
that he had felt before he met her, but
she would never pardon the tears that
the old love revived. No, she would
never forgive that. He thought of the
reproaches, the cruel words with which
she would shortly receive him. Yainly
he told himself that this youthful ten
derness had left in him only a languish
ing remembrance, a very vague one, re
vived by his return to the village and
by the sight of the barren and nearly
f orcotten grave. Was there the slightest
resemblance between this dream of a
child, faded and vanished, and the man
ly reality of the ardent and imperish
able passion which he felt for her, Ce
cile? She jealous? Jealous of a little
girl who had died before her heart had
opened I What folly 1 It would be well
enough to say these things and many
others to Cecile. Bat she would never
listen to him. She would repeat with i
sobs and tears, "You have loved her," j
or else (and this would be much worse)
she would sit unmoved and look at him
coldly silently.
Nevertheless he could not remain all
day in the fields. He must return to
the tavern, where Cecile had already
gone.
He searched for the path and regain
ed it. He resolved to walk rapidly, but
as he approached the village he slack
ened his pace, and it took him over an
hour to get to his lodgings and ten
minutes more to mount the stairs. Be
fore the door his heart beat strangely.
At last he entered.
Alas! What would she say, if she
deigned to Epeak at all? He awaited a
sad discourse or a sadder silence.
But no! She spoke, and very sweet
ly, with her soft voice.
"Ah! Tis you, "she said, and, smil
ing, she raised her forehead for a Mss.
What! She was not angry? She was
not sad? He did not see that her eyes
were a little red, as though she had
been weeping. Perhaps, he thought, she
did not read the name upon the stone.
Another surprise awaited him.
Upon the table, in great perfumed
bunches, were lilies and white roses.
One would have said that they were far
a fete day, and that the florist had just
left them.
"These flowers, CecHe?" he asked
hesitatingly.
"What!" she said, and her voice grew
still sweeter. "Did you net see that it.
was all bare and so gloomy the little
grave in the cemetery? Here are some
flowers, Boger. Take them to Denise."
"Ah, dear one," he said, falling up
on his knees, "how merciful you are to
me and how kind to the poor little one
who fell asleep so young. Yes, I will
carry the flowers to her, or rather we
will take them together."
But Cecile said:
"No, no! Not that." And she smiled
a little sadly. " 'Tis the same with
children, 'tis the same with the dead.
We are all a little jealous. Look you,
dear one. Should I accompany you to
the graveyard Denise would be less
pleased tohave flowers upon her tomb."

Sincerity,
The only conclusive evidence of a
man's sincerity is that he gives himself
far a principle. Words, money, all
things else, are comparatively easy to
give away, but when a man makes a
gift of his daily life and practice it is
plain that the truth, whatever it may
be, has possession of him. James Bus

CAPTURING AN ELEPHANT.
"JemetkiH JLb&st This Sasgeress
Sometimes Cruel Sport.
aad
When the two sons of the Prince of
I7ales were an a visit to Ceylon, a grand
lephant hunt was projected, to show
them how the animals were captured.
Here is an extract from Joseph Moore's
description of the hunt:
After long maneuvering the trained
elephants managed to separate a large
cow from the herd and so ranged them
selves about her that she was forced to
stand. This was the opportunity wan ted,
and in a flash an. agile native slipped
under one of the friendly brutes, rope
in hand.
"Waiting until the restless prisoner
lifted her hind foot, he deftly placed
the noose about her leg and withdrew.
Another venture fettered the second
limb, the decoys meanwhile warding off
with their trunks several wrathful
strokes at the man. The ropes were now
firmly secured to a stout tree and the
captive left entirely alone save her calf.
Then began a titantic struggle far
liberty that no few words can justly
portray. Finding herself baffied in un
tying the many knots or in uprooting
the tree, she writhed, screamed, tore at
the foliage, pawed the earth, tossed
clouds of dust aver her back, flung her
trunk about fiercely and planted her
head upon the gronnd for leverage to
rend asunder the bonds.
At length she fell in exhaustion, an
guish and despair and lay motionless
and resigned. The natives well knew
that these symptoms f orbede the loss of
their prize. She panted for an hour or
more, sighed deeply and died of "bro
ken heart."
A male somewhat above medium
size was nest submitted to the exciting
ordeal with minor variations. While he
stood jammed between two of the tame
elephants, away from any tree, the
nooser induced him to raise his hind
foot by touching it gently, drew the
running knot about his leg and retreat
ed. In this case the rope was attached
to the girth cf one of the trained ani
mals, and the sagacious brute, knowing
exactly what was expected of him, be
gan to drag the captive toward a tree
facing the spectatorsr stands.
The wild one resisted violently, but
without avail, as the tame allies stead
ly pushed, butted and pulled him across
the inclosure. When the tying was com
plete, his contortions to free himself
were astonishing, though in tho end he
calmed down, hopeless and covered with

A Queen's Visit.
To be old and pear and bedridden is
generally to be debarred from the great
er privileges of life, but there was one
old man in Scotland who found his dis
advantages had procured him a privi
lege that the strong and more active
member? of his family were seeking in
vain.
It was on an occasion when Queen
Victoria was at Balmoral, and, as she
often did, sho went one day unaccom
panied to visit the cottages. In one of
these sho found an old man, bedridden
and quite alone, and she sat down to
talk to him.
"And how is it you are alone?" she
asked. MHa?e you no ono to keep you
company 2"
"No," replied the old man innocent
ly, "ily folks bo all away seeing the
queen. They thought they might get a
glimpse of her."
His visitor made no reply, but she sat
with the old man, pleasantly filling the
gap made by the absence of "his
folks," and then foend time to read to
him from the Bible she herself treas
ured. On leaving she gave a further
proof cf her sympathy in the shape of a
5 note, accompanying it with the
words, "When your people come back,
tell them that while they have been to
see the queen the queen has been to see
you." Youth's Companion.
The ClUaese.
Conservative historians among ths
Chinese claim for their race an antiq
uity of at least 1Q0.GQ0 years, while
these whose estimates are a little
'wild" assert that the Chinese were the
original inhabitants of the earth and
that Chinese history gees back at least
500,000,000 years. The government rec
ords of China place the foundation of
the empire at 2500 B. CL and claim that
it was established by Tchi, who, they
assert, is the Noah mentioned in the
book of Genesis, B. C. 2240.
Swift's letters to Stella and Vanessa,
the two correspondences being carried
cn at the same timer are equally good,
equally loving and at present equally
unreadable.
The Chinese divide the day into 12
parts of two hours each. The Italians
reckon 24 hours round, instead of two
divisions of 12 hours each, as we do.
