The remarkable prevalence of duel
ing, which rose in Ireland to almost an
insane height toward the end of the
eighteenth century, had at least the
good effect of encouraging a chivalrous
feeling toward women, who thence
forward depended on their male rela-
tives and friends for protection. 1t is
said that if any gentleman presumed to
pass between lady and the wall in
walking the streets of Dublin, he was
considered as offering personal affront
to her escort, and if the parties wore
swords, as was then customary, the
first salutiOn to the offender was usually
"Draw, sir" But, such affairs mos ,ly
ended in an apology to the lady for
inadvertence. But if man ventured to
intrude into the boxes of theatre in
his surtout or boots, or with his hat on,
it was regarded as general insult to
every lady present, and he had little
chance of escaping without shot or a
thrust before the following night. 1t
must be confessed that this species of
punctiliousness was carried too far.
Some say that ducling reached to such
an extravagant pitch in Ireland be-
cause the Protestant gentry were a
garrison in a hostile country, and were
obliged to cultivate familiarity with the
means of defence. 1t is possible that
this state of affairs may have originally
led to the remarkable prevalence Of the
custom, for when such transactions as
that between Mr.. Morris and O'Leary
were of frequent occurrence, there
must have been much to provoke the
bitterest enmity. Nevertheless, it
would seem that there was really a
good deal in the practice to warrant the
old saying that "the English fight for
liberty, the French for glory, and the
Irish for fun" A gentleman, who is
said to have been one of the most hui
name men existing, quieted his little
son in this wise, when the child was
crying for something: "Come, now,
do be good boy. Come now; don't
cry, and I'll give you case of nice
little pistols, tomorrow. Come, now,
don t cry, and we'll shoot them all in the
morning" eyes, yes" responded the

Mental Disease in Animals.

The pathology of mind in the lower
animals, and more especially in domes-
tic animals, is subject which singularly
enough, has hitherto attracted very lit
tie attention, though it is one that
ought to possess the highest interest to
man. DR.. w. Lauder Lindsay, who
for few years past has devoted him
self to the study Of mental phenomena
as exhibited in the animal creation in
ferior to man, contributes to the Journal
Of Mental Science the results of his OBJ
servations upon the mental pathology
of animals, from which it appears that
in them insanity is virtually the same
as in man. He notes, however, certain
peculiarities in the case of the lower
animals, the most important of which is
the facility with which artificial insanity
may be produced in them, either by i'll
usage or by brain or blood poisoning;
hence the whole course of insanity may
be very conveniently studied in animals.
This unwOrked field of comparative
psychology presents to the ambitious
young physician the opportunity not
only of earning distinction, but also of
adding to human knowledge, and
therby to human as well as animal
happiness and well-being. "Let me, "
writes DR.. Louder Lindsay, commend
the experimental and scientific study of
the pathology of the mind In the lower
animal to those capable youths who at
present fritter away their time, temper,
and opportunities, on subjects both
trite and triYal; who expend their in
genuity in improving upon Nature by
drawing hard and fast lines Of demark-
alton where she draws none; who dis
cover in the last fashionable drug, or
mode of drugging, panacea for all the
ills of the insane; who delight in bar
rem statistics that have already been
tabulated thousand times, with re-
suits of no practical value, ,"-Popular

business Ants.

A gentleman who was recently
lounging on Sand Hill, Chicopee, tells
a curious incident of some ants which
he observed. His attention was attract
ed by a constant double stream of ants
marching in two directions past him.
Watching the procession closely, he
noticed that all the ants going in one
direction carried an egg in their mouths,
while the ants coming back were empty
handed or mouthed. Following up
those who labored and were heavy
laden he found that they deposited their
eggs in new nest on higher ground,
and one hundred and ten PAGES from
their old nest from which they were
moving .-Springfeld (Mass.) Union.

The Debris of the System

Must either pass through its natural chan
nels of exit, the bowels, the kidneys and
pores or, in default thereof, poison and dis
order the fluids of the system. In order
to effect the complete expulsion of this
dangerous refuse. the organs through
which it passes off must be active and un-
obstructed. Fortunately there is a certain
means of rendering them SO when they are
not. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stimu-
late the action of the excretory organs, and
by diffusing genial warmth through the
circulation, encourage moderate perspira-
ion. By this triple effect the exodus of
the focal and other waste matters ore en-
couraged, and the system freed from peril
it would otherwise incur. The action of
the bowels which follows the use of this
bene6cient Alternative is easy and unaccom-
panied by gripping, and its stimulative
effect upon the urinary organs very con-
ducive to their local health.

Spring is a trying season. Indications of SICK

The notion that high foreheads, in wo-
men as we'll as men, are indispensable to
beauty, came into vogue with phrenology,
and is going out with the decline of that
science" Not long ago more than one
fine lady shaved her head to give it an
intellectual appearance; and the custom of
combiDg the hair back from the forehead
probably originated from the same mis-
taken ambition When it is considered
that a great expanse Of forehead gives a
bold masculine look-that from .froga
tforeheadl comes the word ''efrontery, u
it will not be wondered that the ancient
painters. sculptors and poets considered n
low forehead "a charming thing in woman. ;"
and, indeed, indispensable to female
beauty. Horace praises Lycoris TOR her
low forehead (tenuiS Jrons); and Martial
commends the same grace as decidedly as
he praises the arched eyebrow. York
