DUELING IN FRANCE.

So rare have fatal duels become that
when by chance hostile encounter has
a tragic conclusion the annals of the
past are Immediately ransacked for
similar circumstances, and for some
days the newspapers are filed with
more or less fresh details concerning all
the famous duels that have taken place
In France since the Revolution. It is
Bot very difficult matter to tell the
story of the fatal duels that have taken
place between Frenchmen of late years,
nor Will the history prove a long one.
Since 1870 there have been, so far as
the reported cases go, 545 duels fought
in France. Of these only eight have
proved fatal.
The first in point of time was the duel
between Prince Ghika and Prince Sout-
70, which took place at Fontainebleau
in 1872. 1t was fought with pistols,
and the Prince Ghika fell shot through
the lungs at the first fire, and died
within twenty minutes. The cause of
the duel was an old family quarrel.
The Prince Soutzo was tried for this
act and sentenced to four years impris-
onment, doubtless because he was a
foreigner.
The next fatal duel was between NJ.
Olivier and NJ. Feuilerade, whose orr
gin was quarrel about one of the dan
seuses of the opera. This duel also
took place with pistols, and NJ. Feuiler-
ade was instantly killed at the first fire.
NJ. Clovis Argues, prominent Repub-
ican politician, also had duel few
years ago, whose origin was a political
discussion, which resulted fatally for
his opponent, whose name has escaped
me.
A duel with swords between two
cousins, M. Kocchlin and NJ. de Lich-
temberg, which was fought in 1879 at
st. German, proved fatal to the latter,
who was run through the heart.
The following year an encounter with
pistols took place on the italian 'front.'
Ter, between Capt. Darmier and NJ. de
Boisseix, a member of the provincial
press. The Captain was shot through
the head and died instantly. This case
never came before the courts.
About year ago duel with cavalry
sabers took place in the neighborhood
of Macon, between an old man, a re-
tired cavalry officer, and NJ. de Saint
Victor, landed proprietor in the neigh
borhood. The cause of the quarrel was
that the former had, in the discharge of
his duty as garde des forets, interfered
in some way with the fondness of the
latter for killing the game under his
charge. The garde DIES forets was
killed by his youthful antagonist, who
was tried by the courts and condemned
to a money indemnity toward the fani-
Iy Of his victim and two years impris-
onment.
Last year there was a duel near
Blois between two Captains of regi-
ment quartered in that town, whose or
igin was a mess-room quarrel. It was
fought with pistols, and one Of the an
tagonists was shot through the heart

THE POSTOFFICE,

One Of the largest express companies
and dealers in exchange in the world is
the Government of the United States.
The difference between the postal SER
vice and the express and transportation
companies is that the people of the
United States hire private corporations
to do their heavy freight1ng business,
and pay them what the aforesaid COM
panles can manage to exact, while they
have organized cooperative concern
for the distribution of letters, small
packages and small bills of exchange,
and the business is done, not for the
most that can be got from its customers,
but for the least that will pay expenses.
As it is deemed important that the
charges should be low, it is not even at
tempted to quite pay expenses, the de-
felt being made up out of general taxa
ton. In other words, nearly 95 per
cent. of the cost of operating the service
is collected from those who use the SER
vice, and in proportion to the amount
they use it, and the other per cent. is
paid out of the general treasury.
In its vastness the postal business
looks down from towering height upon
most of the railroad and transportation
companies. The routes over which the
Government sends the mails aggregate
344. 900 miles, or distance equal to
about fourteen circumference of the
earth. Its Immediate agents, not
counting mere employees, number A, 512.
The Postmasters in the United States
would make two army corps-that is,
they would if they were all forced into
the army. The salaries paid to these
agents amount to more than eight mill
ions of dollars, or about the same as the
total net ordinary revenues of the Gov
eminent, including loans, in so recent a
year as 1913.

LADY TEACHERS.

There are now in the public schools
of the United States, as teachers, at
least $4,000 more women than men.
Not more than twenty-five years ago the
number of men was double that of
the women. Every year, in increased
numbers, ''the common-school masters
are relegated to the obscurity of "gen-
eral business" by that memorable law,
the survival of the fittest," and, by
the same law, In still greater num-
bers, the 'lady teachers" are pushed to
the front. During the last four years
the number of male teachers increased
$3.50, while the number of female teach
ers increased 1887. Discovering the
great change in relation to the employ
fnent of teachers, an "old-timer of the
profession" was recently heard to ex-
claim, "The women are absolutely tax
ing our schools; the ladies will be the
primary teachers of the future. CHI

It is a solemn fact that the young

waited three-quarters of an hour for the
tailor to knock the two hind pockets
into one.

TOBACCO AND VINE.

Darwin was once asked by gentle
man of Manchester for his testimony as
to the influence of alcohol and tobacco
on intellectual labor. Mr.. Darwin re-
piled that he drank one glass of wine
daily, and believed that he should be
better if he drank none at all, although
the doctors agreed in urging him to
drink it as a cure for giddiness. He
added that he had taken snuff all his
life, and regretted that he had ever done
80. The habit he had often tried to
shake of, and for time had done so, but
never successfully for any long period.
He felt sure, however, that it was a great
stimulus and aid to his work. "I also,"
he wrote, "smoke daily two little paper
cigarettes of Turkish tobacco. This is
not stimulus, but rests me after my
work, or after have been compelled to

thing else. [ am IS years old"

Il PRACTICAL JOKER.

Joseph Prudhomme was much given
to practical joking. He called one day
at porter's lodge, and addressed the
watchful occupant thus:
as NJ. Henri Monnier at home?"
"No, sir. He is not here; he does
not live here"
eyes, he is here" Monnier returned,
"for I am Henri Monnier."
The next day he called again, his
face made up and not recognizable.
IN. Henri Monnier?" he asked.
Not here, sir"
Eyes, he is; [ am Henri Monnier, -
then disappearing as before. The fol
lowing day he called again, and the
same dialogue occurred. This time the
porter lost patience, and said:
IF you come here again, I will an
swer you with q broom-stick.
Monnier then wrote to his friends. in
forming them that he had changed his
lodgings, giving his new address at the
house of the mystifed porter, and in
viting them to house-warming in the
evening.
"Ah! you are here again, are you?"
was the porters reply to the first visitor
who inquired for NJ. Henri Monnier,
followed up by a hail of blows from a
stick. The same punishment awaited
all the other guests that came in sue
ceSsion.

But no answer she got save the wayelets played
A roundelay gay as they kissed her feet.
She asked the sun, but he only turned
His saucy face from the eastern sky,
And kissed her cheek till they fairly burned,
And tear of vexaton dimmed her eye.
She asked the wind, as it came from the south,
The self-same question. The answer came,
For zephyr sprang up and kissed her mouth
And ruby, red lips till they seemed afame

And the moral question was solved in trice;

4 CONFUSED CRITIC.

Shortly after the production Of Her
mani, more than half a century ago,
Victor Hugo was travelling ON foot
through Normandy and Brittany in
search Of new impressions, =" when one
day an evil inspiration prompted him
to ride in the diligence from Rouen to
Havre. He had hardly taken his seat
when a fellOw-passenger of eminently
respectable appearance, specialized,
white-cravatted, notarial and bland,
entered into conversation with him
upon the various political and literary
topics of the day. pray, sir" be
presently inquired, GAS you have just
left the capital, did you happen before
your departure thence to hear anything
of Hermann of which people are MAX

seen it mentioned, replied Hugo. 1T

likely" "Do you do anything in the
way of literature?" "Aittle. For in

Well! the author of Hermann must
be an abominable person" Really!

Neither do I. But one of my friends
saw him on the street, not long ago,
and in such a state! The wretched
creature is nearly always drunk. Only
fancy, he has to be carried home from
the cabaret every day. No wonder his
poetry is such maniacal rubbish" "Un-
der the circumstances, how could it be
otherwise?" Worse still, the fellow
spends most of his time with ballet
dancers of the lowest description. And
yet this degraded creature has the au-
dacity to importune us with his mad
ravings!" 1--WE will by no means en-
dure him, sir"

HINTS TO HORSEMEN.

It seems, says the Scientific An,eri-
can, to be a characteristic failing of
most coachmen to lay the lash on a
horse that exhibits fear at an object in
the street or beside of the road. Mr..
Bergh, the President of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
says in the organ Of that society, what
every reasoning being ought to know,
and that is never to whip horse for
becoming frightened at any object by
the roadside, for if he sees a stump, a
log or heap of tanbark in the road,
and, while he is eying it carefully, and
about to pass it, you strike him with the
whip, it is the log, or stump, or the
tanbark that is hurting him in his way
Of reasoning, and the next time he will
be more frightened. Give him time to
smell all of these objects, and use the
bride to assist you i'll bringing him
carefully to these objects Of fear.
