How Worth works.

The greatest OF all dress-makers,
Worth the immortal, designs the ma
terials and trimmings he uses in his
wonderful creations, superintends in
person all the delicate finishing touches
Of a toilet 20 the tying Of ribbon or
the adjustment Of flower. He studies
the portraits OF celebrated beauties Of
the past for new models, and from the
blending OF the colors in the plumage OF
birds, the hues in the petals Of flowers,
the tints 10 natures realm he learns the
color combinations for which he is IA
nous. Since the house of Worth was
founded its chief has seen the empire
that first brought him renOwn pass
away. The beautiful Empress who
wore his richest toilets is an aged wild
ow. the beauties who brought his work
into prominence are faded Old ladies or
are dead, but the realm Of which he IS
ruler still vows allegiance 10 him as its
leader.

oniSt's Ere should be returned. The case
came up in the duel between NJ. Lareinty
and General Boulanger. On that occa-
sion the pistol OF General Boulanger
missed fire. Nj. DerGulede insisted on
his fire being returned. Indeed, General
Boulanger had to explain matters, for IL
is adding offence to offence when you do
pot return your enemy's fire. You
should always do so, because If you do
not, and show IL, you are in position OF
a man who is wantonly deSpising his an
tagonist. You are at liberty 20 shoot so
as not to hit your opponent, but not in
an offensive and evident manner.

is impossible to recommence for 1t
would be unfair to let the combatant
who had missed fire have another shot
and il would be equally unjust 10 let
each maa have another shot"
what is the correct position for a
pistol shot to stand?'
HOW TO GO To WORK.
For that you cannot do better than
refer TO the words OF the Prince de BIZ
! beSco Is as lollOWS:
"'There are three questions Of the
highest importance to be considered in
pistol iring-the position OF the weapon
in the hand, the position Of the body,
the firing.
The firer, placed in front Of the mark
should take the pistol from the hand OF
the loader, the muzzle high: be turns
the weapon toward the target and seeks
to fix the butt In the right hand, but
without stiffness. According TO the con-
| formation OF the hand, they may hold
the butt with the thumb and the three
last fingers or with the thumb and the
! last two fingers, and in this latter case
the center finger is on the guard; but the
J first method is preferable, because 1t
still further isolates the first finger,
which Is the principal agent OF the Will.
"The first finger is inserted as far as
the middle Of the second joint, and
should be in touch with the trigger,
avoiding all jerk, and 10 feel 1t accord
| ing to ones degree Of senSibilitY.
'Once the arm well in the hand,
place yourself as though holding q
sword in the first position Of the salute,
advance the right foot one sole's length,
as the saying is in fencing, so that the
body will be perfectly balanced; fix the
! left hand on the hip, the fingers spread
out, so as to give counterweight to the
right arm; hold the head straight, but
inseusibly turned to the left.
"In this position be certain before
arising the weapon to the height Of the
right eye that il is well in the direc-
ton of the target, and for that purpose
quickly cast look without removing
the head from the top OF the right to
the end of the butt and backward.
"When you are well ready raise the
weapon, pressing gradually the trigger,
so that the shot is fred the moment the
visual sight, passing along the bottom
Of the cock and the top OF the sight,
meets the target.

AN OBJECTION.

".Now none but rifed pistols are used.
There are those who object to the ritled
pistol in dueis, asserting that it is a
weapon OF too deadly character. am
not all OF that opinion. In the majority
Of cases, whether 1t be from emotion or
from an ignorance Of the character and
quality Of the weapons they are using,
placed for the first time in the hands Of
the contestants, it is about ten to one
against any harm coming from the first
shot, and that, without in the least sup
posing fear or cowardice, it is misdirec-
ted. In such case the arm of preci-
sion does its duty and the man is missed.
Would it not be worse IL q badly direct
ed bullet from q smooth bore should
come and hit the antagonist by mistake,
when with a weapon OF precision it
would not have done so. II is matter
of conscience with the seconds as to
whether they choose to deprive clever
shot of these advantages.

delicate work in the way Of giving ad-

questions which arise in connection
herewith. But he is quite equal TO the
task and his discretion and his most
thorough knowledge OF all that relates
TO pistols and pistol duelling have made
him sought out as an impartial and ac-
curate referee in matters of honor, and,
further still, be is often consulted as an
expert in the matter of weapons, which
have been used for unlawful purposes,
&c, in official inquiries.
NJ. Gastine-Renette is of very retir-
ing nature, and when an interview for
the Herald was suggested 10 him he
pleaded that he was not one Of those
anxious TO advertise themselves, but il
being suggested to him that his opin-

PISTOLS USED.

The first question asked him was con-
corning the class Of pistols which are
used in duelS. In reply he said: The
French pistol is used here entirely.
Nowadays the French have the mono
poly OF the manufacture of the duelling
pistol. All the pistols used in Russia
are OF French origin.
For my part, however, l date the
'Pistolet du tir, or what is known as the
duelling pistol, only from the time when
ritling was introduced.
