George B. Barrows of Fryeburg,
Me-, has in his possession a valuable
parchment 1t is written in French, is
dated 1904, and is an honorable men,
ton" awarded to French soldier
named Tourin Grouard for bravery in
action on the island of Elba. The ac-
ton has long ago been forgotten, and
SO has Grouard, but in one corner of
the parchment next to the great seal
of the consulate of France, is name
written, to possess which Mr.. Barrows
bought the document few weeks ago.
The name is ''Bonaparte, First Consul"
and is written in a cramped, stiff hand,

under photographs of the great en-
peror of later times.

Marie Corelli is one of the most mys-
FERROUS literary women in the world.
No one seems to know exactly who she
is or where she came from, and certain
.ly none can tell whittier she is going.
She has strong objection to having
her portrait reproduced AS a matter
OF TACT she is the daughter of Charles
MacKay. at one time the editor of the
Illustrated London News, and an init
mate friend of Dickens and Thaclleray.
Miss MacKay adopted as her nome de
plume the pretty sounding name of
marie Corelli" because of her great
love of Italy and things Italian; but
she is thorough Englishwoman, and
no one would take her for anything else.
Her novel, "a Romance of Two
Worlds" made deep impression on a
certain section of the reading public,
probably because, like Robert Els
mere and John Ward, Preacher" it
touched on certain problems which are
agitating all thinking minds.-Chicago

A HARMLESS GAME.

SOIL" said the traveller. 81 saw an En-
glishman terribly punished for suggest
ing that the French duel was harm
less pastime, intended to cast halo of
stage heroism about the participants.
The remark was made on boat Just
as it was landing at Calais. A young
Frenchman touched the speaker on the
arm and expressed willingness to
'amuse monsieur with the harmless
game Well, an Englishman does not
bluff very easily, and before we left the
boat a meeting was arranged to take
place on the Belgian frontier. The
Frenchman offered the Briton the choice
of weapons, and the latter replied con-
temptuously that they might as well
play the game with the fiddlesticks so
popular in France, meaning rapiers Two
days later the meeting occurred, and I
managed to be present. The combat
ants stripped to the waist and the con-
test began 1t was apparent from the
outset that the Briton knew nothing Of
the rapier, while the antagonist was an
expert with that weapon, and held his
life at his mercy. He prodded him in a
dozen places, making ugly but not dan
gerous flesh wounds, and then sex-
pressed willingness to relinquish the
game if the monsieur was satisfied
but the Briton was stubborn and, mad
dened by the pain, foolishly insisted on
continuing the fight. His GOODNESS de-
serted him and he made furious lunges
at his willy antagonist, every time ex-
posing himself and receiving a sharp
prod in return that only increased his
rage. Finally his second lnterfered and
compelled him to stop. The Frenchman
had cut his cuticule to shreds with the
sharp point OF. his rapier. He then
helped to dress the wounds OF his adver-
sary. and as the latter limped to his cab
