RIueherrY Cake.

Here is a rule for BURBERRY cake
which am sure will prove welcome at
this season, when the fruit is so album
dant: For one sheet of cake use one
generous pint of -four. half pint Of
milk, one gill of sugar. one egg, two
heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
half pint of blueberries, and two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Mix the bak-
ing powder, sugar and salt with the
-four and rub through a sieve: then
work the butter through the flour.
Beat the egg till light, and add the milk
to it. Add this to the dry ingredients
and beat we'll. Now add the berries,
stirring as little as possible. Spread
the mixture in a well battered, shallow
baking-pan, having it about an inch and
a half thick. Bake in moderately quick
oven for about twenty-five minutes and
serve hot. = Maria Parloa, in Good

TRADE REVIEW.

Dun's Weekly Report Shows the Crop and
Business Prospects Good.
NEW YORK. Aug. Or. G. Dun &

Money is moving rapidly to the in
terror but the treasury has been
strengthening itself, adding So, 500, 600
to its gold for the week and also taking
in 5000. 600 more treasury notes than it
has put out By requiring deposits of
gold at New York against shipments
of currency to the country banks, the
treasury has somewhat increased its
gold reserve, but the main fact is that
its receipts for the past week have ex-
ceeded it's payments of all kinds by
about 81. zoo, 900. The official announce
ment that all the AZ per cent bonds
not offered for extension September 1
will be paid on demand promises a large
addition to the available currency after
the first of next month.
Crop prospects are in all respects ex-
ceedingly bright and the reports of in
jury by frost do not appear to affect
any considerable portion of the crop
There is every reason to suppose that
the yield of wheat would be larger
than the 544, 900, 600 bushels estimated
by the agr cultural department., though
yield no greater would leave 200, O00,-
600 bushels for export Hog products
are somewhat stronger in sympathy

AN IDEAL DUEL


A French Affair Amid Beautiful Surround
ings and Satisfactory Results.
It does not fall to the lot of every So
journer in France or her colonies to ac-
cidentally witness a real French duel,
such as fell to my good fortune lately.
One afternoon about 4. while strolling
through an olive grove in the neighbor-
hood of Tunis, came on group Of
eight or ten unmistakable Frenchmen
halted on its outskirts At first did
not pay any attention to them, think
ing it was a party on an afternoons
outing, until 1 saw two of their numb Der
divest themselves of hat, coat and vest,
and another take two shining swords
from a mysterious bundle, which lay on
the ground, and hand them with much
ceremony to the combatants. 1 at first
thought it was to be sham encounter.
but seeing that the combatants did not
wear masks. and the evident earnest
ness of all present, soon decided other
wise.
The whole affair was very romantic
and came up to my ideas of what duel
should be, culled from pictures and de-
scriptions- The mysterious group on
the edge of the wood, the two carriages
within hailing distance, the combatants
stripped to their shirts, and the shining
sword blades Several of the group
wore peg-top trousers, so much affected
in journalistic circles in Paris, and
which gave such an unmistakable
French air to the group.
Before going any further I must
state that the principals were a jour
nalist and a politician, the latter being
co1onist. or what is better known as a
gentleman farmer; the journalist, a
Monsieur Craft, one of the editors OF
the Depeche Tunisienne, the principal
French daily paper in Tunis. and the
politician a Monsieur Carnieres-
The duel arose out of an election dis.
pute some four months ago, and it had
to be postponed on account of the III
ness of one of the principals. At the
time of my witnessing the duel I did
not have the slightest knowledge con-
corning the affair, and only came on ii
by accident.
Well, to return to the strife. The
combatants were ready, and after the
customary salute they crossed swords.
From my meager judgment would say
they were both very good swordsmen
and pressed one another very hard
and with fury. The journalist was a
man of about thirty-fve, of slight build
and his adversary man forty-fve, OF
heavy build. Three rounds were fought,
and in the fourth the politician was
slightly wounded in the shoulder, which
finished the encounter. Just then there
was a lively alteration between both
sides. 1 was not near enough to get the
gist of it, but surmised the principals
wanted to continue. At length they
shook hands, the surgeon attended to
the wound, the swords were packed up
the carriages were hailed. and the
honor of both sides was satisfied.
Ny opinion on dueling, from the sin
gle one which 1 witnessed, is that it is
not such serious affair when both side:
are skillful swordsmen or when it i:
not duel to the death.-Pittsburgf
