forced the fighting from the very first, and made a,nunber of deadly thrusts at his ad- versary. The prime minister, it was easy to see, was totally unused to handling a sword, and it is matter of the greatest astonish- ment that so unskilful fencer should have been able to parry his adversary's lunges so successfully. It was easy to see that the general was determined to inflict most seri- ous injury on the premier, who was very pale
 At the second encounter M. Floquet was slightly wounded in the hand, and as the blood begani flow freely the seconds pro posed to stop the duel.
 BouIanger had also been slightly wounded in the leg. Neither of the principals how ever, would consent to stop the fighting, which was then renewed with increased in tensity.

The Hardy Mexican Burros.

It is a source of wonder how the people of towns like Las Vigiles live. They have no manufactures, they produce nothing to sell, and yet ''they live and have their being," and are seemingly content. One or two Mexicans have burros to rent and they derive some in- come from the tourists who visit the Las Vegas hot springs, the great health resort of New Mexico, which is very near Las Vigiles Nearly every family, however, owns burro for Its own use The animal is never fed; he lives on what he can pick up. He is patient and docile and the far away look of sadness in his eye would melt a heart of stone He load as great in bulk as his own body, legs and all
 When the Mexican needs frewood he mounts his burro and rides up into the mountains - over paths along precipices where it chills the blood to. look down into !the abyss, for the burro is the surest footed animal in the world, and his unshod hoofs will pick out a secure foothold almost any ,where-until he finds some tree blown down by the storm. Here he cuts great mass oi fagots which he ties onto the burros back by means of strong cords, and they return homeward An average sized burro car carry enough wood to last a Mexican family Ia fortnight, and, when the master under stands thoroughly the art of tying a ''pack, the burro presents the oldest looking spec itacle imaginable, as he picks his way ove, tthe rocks and through the ravines-Atlants Constitution.
