Dueling in France.

When swords are selected kind of
master of tho lists is named, says the
London Spectator, whose order to stop
must be instantly obeyed under penalty
Of dishonor. and he gives his order
the moment blood flows, though it be
from the merest scratch; while, as
duelists, being mortal, may lose their
te ,npers. the seconds stand ready at
his word to strike up their principals
weapons. All kinds of dangerous
blows are prohibited as unfair, and too
much display OF ferocity decidedly
and permanently lowers a duelist's re-
putation for the possession of a good
heart and a fine manner. 1t would be
considered monstrOus to allow duelists
to get at one another with rifles, as
they do in Western America, in the
best way they could; and the old duel
across handkerchief is pronounced
deliberate MURDER to which no second
who respects himself will ever volun-
tarily accede. Indeed, VIC believe d
principal might now refuse that chal-
lenge as an obsolete barbarism. The
combat is reduced. in fact, to display
OF skill in fencing with weapons iu-
stead OF foils, in which. it is true, one
party may get hurt by misadventure.
but in which it is not intended that he
should be more than scratched. The
chance of making widow, which NJ.
Jules SimOns SO feelingly and so
properly laments, is, in truth, reduced
to the infinitely little. You do not
after duel encounter your adversary's
widow, but himself; and if he is a man
Of the world you are not punished even
by a scowL. Exc hange.

Remains Of a Dwarf Racs,

Capt j. S. Prescott, who recently
returned here from Victoria, Is. G.
describes an interesting experience
which he had while north. He was in
Victoria at Il time when considerable
excitement had been caused by the
discovery OF ancient human remains
in some mounds. The little hillocks
were dug into and skeletons were
brought to sight by the shovel and
pickaxes. The discovery was made at

hard metallic substance with his pick.
1t was an iron war weapon shaped like
harpoon, only much shorter and

etched in it and their lines had sur
vived through centuries. One OF
the mounds was excavated and fiat
stone was exposed. 1t had been de.
signed as door to a sepulcher, for on
being raised grave walled on all
sides by tightly cemented stones was
seen. In it was Il dwarfed body

the struggle began. The Mans Wife
screamed: "Oh. Frank. get Off,
But the Tertium Quid was glued to
the saddle-his face blue and white
and he looked into the Mans Wife's
eyes Then the Mans Wife clutched
at the mares head and caught her by
the nose instead of the bride. The
brute threw up her head and went
down with a scream, the Tertium
Quid upon her, and the nervous grin
still set on his face.
Tho Mans Wife heard the tinkle-
tinke Of little stones and loose earth
falling Of the roadway and the sliding
roar of the man and horse going down.
Then everything was quiet and she
called on Frank to leave his mare and
walk up. But Frank did not answer.

How Spiders KILL

Spiders kill their prey by the agency
of u poisonous fluid, which is reted
in a gland and which flows at will to
the extremity Of one OF the fauces' or
jaws. Some writer's have denied tho
existence OF this poisonous substance;
but the effects which u spiders bite
have been known to have upon Il
human being prove undoubtedly that
it is present Persons who have been
bitten by very large South American
spider known AS Mygals, fusca, have
felt the effects in the recurrence OF
severe pains in the portion of the body
attacked for rs long as twelve or
even twenty years after the infliction
of the wound. The stories told OF the
disastrous effects OF the bites OF tho
tarantula are, however, quite fabulous.
Every oody has heard OF the belief hold
by the Inhabitants of The district
round Tarantum. that If one CHANGED
to be bitten by q tarantula he became
subject to a dire disease which could
only be cured by musical strains. The
disease no doubt existed, and was
probably form OF hysteria. in the
cure of which music may have proved
beneficial, but to saddle an innocent
spider with the odium of producing 1t
was distinctly unfair. The destructive
powers of spiders do not stop short ~
killing insects, for some tropical spe-
cies habitually catch and eat small
birds. The accounts first given OF
these formidable creatures were Tor a
long time looked upon as mere tray
elers' tales, but moro recent observa-
tions have fully confirmed the state
ments made by those who originally
described them. The birds are mol
caught in snares, for these spiders

selves in crevices or under leaves and
from such retreat pounce upon the

THE PHANTOM MOUTAIN,
A Peculiar Atmospheric Effect Sometimes Seen

Peculiar Atmospheric Eject Sometimes Seen
ON the Pacific.
Cit stored about the captain they
were telling about John Muir's ex.
perience on the great South Dome in
Yosemite during snow storm, says
the San Francisco Examiner, when
alone there, impressed with all the
vastness OF the place. he saw a giant
image in the clouds like the wrath of
the valleys god, veering and advance
ing as If in menace. 1t was told how
Muir finally ascertained that the i'm.
age was merely his own reflection on
the snow cloud-a duplicate of the
world-famous spectre OF the Broken.
Then up spoke Mayor John r. Glass
cock Of Oakland, and asked:
Have any OF you seen the phantom
mountain-the peak in the ocean,"
Though there were many in that
company who had seen all sorts of
things. from crawling vipers to pink
monkeys with sea-green appendages.
none could ever say that he had ever
seen the mountain. So the Mayor
went on:
II have often been on Mount Diablo;
in fact have camped there season
after season. have viewed the sun
rise and set from perch upon the
summit time and time again, but only
once had l the pleasure OF beholding

in order to see the signal service men,

out to sea. You know it is fact that
on clear day person can see more
country from the summit of Diablo
than from any other eminence in the
world.
"The great central valley spreads
out on one side, all the lesser hills,
generally shrouded in a fog, are be-
meath you, and off to the west dimples
the blue Pacific. Well. this morning
could hardly believe my eyes. Right
up from the bosom OF the deep a great
mountain-solid, majestic. and en-
purpled. For long time believed
that it was the product OF some drastic
lift OF pent-up volcanic fires'-the
growth of a night. But as l studied
it / saw it was the exact counterpart
OF the double conc OF Diablo-a phan-
tom Of the sea. BY the peculiar re-
Elective and retroactive condition of the
atmosphere the mountain was made to
appear as washed crag. AS
the sun rose all its apparent stability
vanished, and it dissolved into thin
air. l tried for the sight again and
again, but the atmospheric conditions
were never favorable. Ever afterward

ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH


ment OF Estates.
The general surprise that the late
Mr. Fayerweather, a man of whom
little was known outside OF Il very
limited personal circle, should turn
out to have been the possessor of mil
lions emphasizes the difficulty, SAYS
the New York Star. OF obtaining
knowledge regarding the real extent
OF peoples means. Published lists of
millionaires are proverbially unrelia.
BILE, not only from the inaccuracy of
the estimates given. but from the
omission Of tho large and increasing
class OF what may be termed 'silent
millionaires." This is not strange
for even the mercantile agencies
whose business 1t is to rate the credit
of men engaged in business, do not
pretend to give any accurate figures
on private wealth not actually employ
ed as capital in trade. The way the
general public, and even the financial
world, can be mistaken about men of
wealth is sometimes strikingly illus.
trated. The late Moses Taylor was
supposed in his lifetime to be worth
from 81, 1000. 900 to $4,000. 900. When
he died his estate was worth 49,. OOO-
600 or more. On the other hand, one
OF the Boston Thayers was believed
to possess y score or more OF millions
Yet it is stated that he left behind him
wealth which. though large. was COM
paratively much below what had been
credited to him.
The ''silent millionaires" are indeed
difficult to track. They are either
people who have inherited wealth and
keep out of business, or men who.
though in business, keep on the beaten
track and avoid public or commercial
prominence. Nearly every WALL
street broker or banker and real-es,ate
people could, II they would. furnish
long lists Ut such individuals, whose
very names are not known to the
public at large. Another class whose
knowledge of the facts about peoples
real means are extraordinary are bank
and trust company officers and the
managers OF safe-deposit vaults. But
such knowledge is in these quarters
regarded as professional secret and
the "silent millionaires" go on clip
ping their coupons. collecting their
rents, and, as rule, living quietly
and saving their incomes. The
number of New York ladies whose
wealth counts up into the seven figures
is also surprising. There are. accord
ing to the estimate OF II careful observ-
err, over 100 women in New York worth
in their own right 81, 900. 900 or more.
and some OF them show double figures
in the million column too. AS this
wealth is mainly inherited, its possess
ors do not attract public attention UNI
less their husbands happen to attain
prominence Of some kind.
