Dumas as a Duellist.

One night at the theater of s n CARO-,
Naples, Dumas the elder (the celebrat-
ed French novelist), found himself chat
ting familiarly with a stranger who,
when the play was ovr, said to him
patronizingly
ST have greatly enjoyed your CONVEX
sation, sir, and hope to see m )re of you.
If ever you visit Paris call on me. /
am Alexander Dumas"
"The deuce you arel So am re-
piled the novelist, with a roar Of
laughter.
BY the way, Dumas left Naples under
peculiar circumstances.
One fine morning he printed an arti-
Gle in which he handled the italian
people in a manner more vigorous than
courteous.
At eight o'clock the paper came out ;
by ten Dumas received thirty chal-
lenges by noon, sixty. At one P. M. he
called a meeting of the 100 friends of
his challengers, and said unto them
Gentlemen, 1 leave Naples tonight,
and therefore have not time to fight ali
your principals singly. Nevertheless
am anxious to give them all the satisfac-
tion that is in my power, so as I have
the choice of weapons propose fight
ing with pistols your sixty principals
will be collected into a group, and on re.
ceiving the word fire volley at me and
I'll blaze away into the crowd."
The proposition was not accepted.

Words of Wisdom.

He who is hasty fishes in an empty
pond.
He who knows himself best esteems
himself least.
Applause is the spur of noble minds,
the end and aim of weak ones.
Innate rudeness, in spite of restraint,
will betray itself by awk wardness.
The secret pleasure of generous
act is the great minds great bribe.
To give good accounts of your COM
petitors inspires the belief in your own
prosperity.
Experience teaches us indulgence
the wisest man is he who doubts his own
Judgment with regard to the motives
which actuate his fellow-men.
Our eyesight is the most exquisite OF
our senses, yet it does not serve us to
discern wisdom if it did, what glow
of love would she kindle within US.
True love is eternal, infinite, and
always like itself. 1t is equal and pure,
without violent demonstrations it is
eeen with white hairs, and is always
young in the heart.
Sin first is pleasing, then it grows
easy, then delightful, then frequent,
then habitual, then confirmed then the
man is impenitent, then he is obstinate,
then he is resolved never to repent, and
then he is ruined.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1879-01-23
Flax Culture.

The common flax is native of Egypt
or possibly the elevated plains of central
Asia, but though no doubt a native of
warm climates, the fiber attains it's
greatest fineness and perfection in tenn
perate regions the seed being richer in
the tropics. Flax is more extensively
and more successfully cultivated in
Belgium than in any other European
country, particularly in East and West
Flanders, in which the most beautiful
flax in Europe is produced, being EN-.
ployed for the manufacture of the
famous Brussels lace, and sold for this
purpose at $500 to 5000 per ton. I'm.
mense quantities of an inferior product
are also raised and exported from Rus
sia, especially from the countries bor-
dering on the Baltic. The cultivation
of fax was introduced into Ireland from
the low countries before the close Of the
! seventeenth century. Flax has been
cultivated from Time immemorial as a
winter crop in India, but only for its
seel, and not at all for it's fiber.
The estimated production of fax in
Russia in 1868, was 1913, 900 tons; in
1869, 300, 600 tons. In Holland there
were in 1869, &c, 272 statute acres under
HaA, prOuuciuB 10, Sll IOnS IN l0fU,
60. $40 acres, producing S,91S tons.
In Belgium, there were at the latest
official census. 142, ,612 acres under flax,
producing 20, 582 tons. In Prussia, in
1870. throughout the eight old pro-
vinces 346, 800 acres under fax, while in
Austria there were in 1871, 253, $50
acres under flax, producing A, 523 tons.
In Hungary, the yield was 1S, $50 tons.
The average acreage appropriated to the
growth of fax in France, is 16O, $50
statute acres, and about Is, 900 acres
are sown with fax in Egypt every year.
The entire produce in Ireland has never
exceeded Ga, 506 tons (1S64), and it has
sunk as low as IL, 929 tons (in 1871.
The acreage under fax in Ireland in
1864, was 301 1893 in 1868, 206, 446, and
in 1871, 156,883 The acreage under
fax, however, is not always an accurate
guide to the produce, since in 1871,
156, 1888 acres produced only 13, ,612 tons
OF fax, while in 1872, 122 OO3 acres pro-
duced Is, 92O tons. In 1872 there were
IA, OIL acres under fax in England,
eighty-four in Wales, and 1902 in Scot.
land. In 1870 the United States pro.
duced 1857 tons of fax, of which
quantity the State of Ohio alone raised
8, $40 tons. Thirty-two States produce
flax in large or small quantities.
