Dueling in France.

When swords are selected a kind OF
master OF the 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
tempers. the seconds stand ready al
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 duelists re-
putation for the possession OF good
heart and 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 pronou need
deliberate murder, to which no second
who respects himself will ever volun-
tarily accede. Indeed, we believe a
principal might now refuse that chal-
lenge as an obsolete barbarism. The
combat Is reduced, in fact, to a display
OF skill in fencing with weapons in
stead OF foils, in which. 1t 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 n widow, which M.
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 II he Is man
OF the world you are not punished even
by u scowl. -Exchange.

Twenty Years Hence.

Wien young mother and her first
born, still tender monthling, left
Pittsburg to visit friends in the East
the former sent bulletins on postal
cards from three or four stopping
places to the father, who was, or was
supposed to be in O very critical state
of anxiety about the baby's entire
safety and happiness.
Here is q sample bulletins: "Baby
has been sleeping 20 minutes-before
that took q great fancy to that young
man you introduced me to in the next
section. and was rather inclined to be
cross because wouldn't let my pre-
cious pull his newspaper TO pieces. He
cries whenever the train stops, but
seems to like the motion OF the cars
still sleeping-Harrisburg, 2:45 p. NJ"
A bachelor friend of the happy fa-
ther, to whom the latter confided the
baby bulletin idea, smiled one Of
those aggravating smiles unmarried
man keeps constantly in stock, and
said:
Twenty years hence, old man, that
boy of yours will send his own bulle-
tins when he goes s-traveling, and
they will be briefer and moro stirring
messages than his mothers. Some
thing OF this sort: Dead broke--send
$50 quickp"-Chicago Bulletin.

The Next Decade.

The country is now entering upon
the most interesting decade of its his
tory. In a sense this might always
have been true in any period Gifts life,
each decade and each half-century
having been more interesting than
that which went before; but in new
and deeper sense is it true OF the last
ten years of the nineteenth century.
We are, indeed, the heirs of oil the
ages, and therefore each period of life
is richer and finer than the one proceed
ing it. The swift development OF great
inventions during the past fifteen years
in the electric world, the telephone,
phonograph, electric car, electric light,
and electricity as q motor, is an indi-
cation of what civilization may be
when all the wondrous possibilities in
volved in these have been fully discov-
cred and developed into use. "Across
the world speak to thee" will be no
more the day-dream of the poet, but
the practical experience of daily life;
travel will be reduced to O minimum
OF time that is now all but Incredible;
the journey of thousand miles will
doubtless be comprised as quickly as
that of one hundred is now; light and
heat and domestic labor will proceed
by electricity; the photograph will re-
lieve the reporter; the graphophone
will supercede the pen and the type
writer, to the infinite saving of nerves
and eyes.

are many shades OF color, from tho
almost pure white--exempliiied in the
albino, to the intense black, found In
the wilds OF Africa. --~'sas~
A layer OF cells, placed beneath the
epidermis-outer skin-all over the
body, withdraws q coloring matter
from the blood. These cells become
filed with this coloring matter, and
are called pigment, which means
color.
The albino does not possess these
cells, hence he is white, without color.
The degree of color is due to the
number of color-cells present in the
skin.
Different parts of the body possess
different degrees OF color, the hair and
the eyes having local color OF their
own. Through some form OF sickness,
or debility OF the system, an abnormal
spot may form, giving a peculiar mp
pearance to that part OF the body.
In these cases the red blood cells dis
integrate or break down at some place
near the surface, leaving a dark dis
celebration.
Degrees OF color are caused more or
less by exposure to the sun and
weather. Climate, hot or cold, also
plays an important part in darkenins
the color of the skin.
A PERSONS skin may be improved in
gloss and tineness by the judicious Use
of soaps and oils, just rs n piece OF
metals kept npolish and smoothness
by rubbing and burnishing.-Fron

An Ideal pIsinfeotant.

A patent floating disinfectant, which
has recently come into use, appears to
possess the three very essential advan-
tages OF efficiency, simplicity of appli-
cation and uniform solution. A mix
ture OF carbolic acid and other disin-
fectants in a solid form is so prepared
that it will float in water. This melts
slowly in the water and is always visi-
bic an accessible. The uniform rate of
solution adapts it specially for use in
closets. All that is necessary is to
place block of it in the water cistern
supplying the closets. All danger of
blocking up the pipes is avoided, as
the disinfectant is always OH the top OF
the water.

Whv Wool Curls.

The reason why wool and woollen
goods felt and solidify more readily
than any straight -fibred furs, is owing
to the natural curl or frizzle possessed
by wool. Each and every bend OF

sumes an inclination for travel indie

eral inclination OF the perfect fibre.
