A Peculiar Duel.

A very peculiar preliminary to
death sentence that deserves to be put
on record was that in vogue in Fran
coma in the Fifteenth century-that
is, in the days of the ordeal, in which
heaven itself was supposed to take a
hand in the distribution of justice.
In case a woman had been made to
suffer in reputation by man she was
at liberty to challenge him to combat,
which took place in the following
way:
A regular ring was formed for spec
tators and chairs were placed for the
Judges. In the middle of the ring was
o hole about three feet deep, in which
the man. armed only with q club, had
to defend himself against the woman,
who was armed with a stone weighing
a pound tied up in handkerchief and
attached to a slender willowy stick.
The Lady had space measuring ten
feet In diameter in which to evolute
and to attack.
The rules were as follows:
IF the man in attempting to strike
the woman touched the ground with
arm or hand he made one error. If he
made three such, or If the woman
succeeded in disarming him, he was de-
clared defeated, and was then delivered
/ over to the executioner to be put to
death, which was by being buried in
the same hole in which he had vainly
attempted to defend himself. But If the
man succeeded in thwarting the at
tacks of the woman or in disarming
her, he was declared the victor, and
the woman herself was. then the vic
tim, and was sentenced to death and
buried alive. New York World.

The Difference in Cattle.

Riding along country road, you
often notice the cattle stand as if they
had no expectations; they hardly raise
their head as you drive by; while the
cattle in the next field will look up
with eagerness. as though men and
women contributed to their happi-
ness. Now, if you should know the
daily life of the animals on these two
farms, you would probably find that
on one they were fed and housed, but
had no pet names. no one greeted them
Familiarity or petted them; they be-
longed to the farm, while the bright.
animated cattle belonged to the fam
lily, and there's vast difference. Sir

Famous Partisan Lion Tanners.

Pezon, the Partisan lion -tsmer, has
his menagerie installed On the site Of
the Tuileries, where he forms a
part of the fair now going on in the
Place du Carrousel. Pezon commenced
lie as miner, hut soon tired of work
inc underground, so he hired himself
out as a farm hand. He was young fell
low of muscle and soon gained local ce.
lebrity as a tanner of unruly cows, bulls
and horses. One day the farmer trapped
a wolf and then Pezon tanned it. Then
ma got another wolf and young bear,
trained them also, put them into an OK
cart, and with this primitive sort of men
sgerie started off togive exhibitions
country fairs. One day at Bordeaux he
heard of Q sea captain, whose ship had
lust come into port, who had q lion that
he wanted to sell, so Pezon bought the
fellow. That was his first lion. now he
has at least thirty of all ages and sizes.
He owns country home near Montreuil,
and is rich enough to retire from bust
ness. Bidel is another famous local lion
tamor who has made sfortu7e with equal
rspidity. He is the owner Of villa a,
Asnieres, where the only things sug-
gestive of his calling are pictures OF
lions painted by Rosa Bonheur. His
daughter is pretty, with just enough OF
Romany blood in her to give a gypsy
type to her beauty. She is an only child,
and will have large dot when she mar.

fathers profession, but has also received
a careful education. and has diploms
which entities her to teach school should

The Growth of Jerusalem

A German newspaper published in
Palestine, states that the city of Jerusa-
lem is growing In size and population
at q remarkable rate. Its growth is all
the more surprising because neither its
situation nor its trade is favorable to a
rapid increase; it lies among a not very
fertile group of mountains it has next
to 20 commerce, and it has no manu-.
features. Nevertheless, new buildings
are rising daily; churches, gardens, and
institutes of various kinds are filling up
tho formerly desolate neighborhood to
the distance OF haitian hours walk be-
yond tho old limits Of the city. The
Jews are to the front as builders. Their
houses spriag out Of the ground like
mushrooms, uniform, ugly, one-storied,
plentiiully supplied with windows, but
with no manner OF adornment. The
Rothschills have completed a new
hospital. Close beside it there is a new
Abys>iuisn church. The Russians are
also great builders. Thoy have erected
a new church, consulate, lodg lighthouses
for pilgrims OF the Orthodox national
churches, and hospital. Near to the
Russian group stands the German
House for G,rmal Roman Catholics,
from whose top tie German and the
Papal Aiy foat side by side. The
I Russians hav, also built high tower
upon tn. MDuat Of Olives, from whose
summit the Mediterranean and the Dead
Sea can both be seen. The Creeks ard
Armenians are also busy builders, bu,
they provide for the bodily rather than
the religious demands of the pilgrim.
| The former build cafes and bazaars and
the latter set up shops.

The little island of Jersey. whence

Is, $50 acres of arabic land, of which
74jG acres are under green crops roots
and fodder, 1859 acres under rotation
grass and clover. and 40S7 under perma
nent pasture. On this pasture over 12,-
coo cows and other cattle are kept. The
average assessed value Of the farms is
over $1,000 each, although the largest
farms are not over fifty acres, and large
number have no more than three to seven
acres The island, SO Insignificant in
area and much smaller than many single
