STOPPED THE DUEL.
The Cool Man Objected to I.eins Riddled
with Oae Bullet.

'Down in my neighborhool. once upon
a time" said Congressman John Allen,
of Mississippi, recently, ''tnert was bad
feeling between two LAWYERS. A chal-
lenge was sent and duly acknowledged.
The hour was appointed and tho two
men met in secluded spot. One of
them was great sufferer from ST.
Vitus' dance, the other was cool and
collected. AS they faced each other.
the afflicted man began to tremble
from head to foot, while his pistol de-
scribed an arc with varying up and
down strokes. His opponent stood firm
as rock, waiting for the signal to FIRE.
Before it came, however, he laid his pis-
toll on the ground, walked into thcwoods
and cut limb of tree, with a fork
in the end of it. This he brought back
and stuck in the ground in front of his
antagonist. Then, turning to the sec
ond, he said: I must request you to
ask your principal to rest his pisto u in
that fork What for?' asked his OPP
ponent's second. WELL replied the
other, 4 have no objection to running
the risk of one shot, but certainly do
decline having one bullet make hon
eycomb of me. If that man was to
shoot while his hand is shaking the
way it is now, he would fill me full of
holes at his first shot This was too
much for the seconds, and, by mutual
agreement, truce was patched up
and no shots were exchanged"

Prof. Lintner. New Yorl1's state en-

the grub feeding necessarily from the

it is doubtful if some species ever sleep
or take moments rest. The vora-
ciousness and rapid growth of these
creatures may be better understood by
making statement of two facts: A

ELECTRIFIED SEA WATER.
1t Is Said to BE Working Wonders ii
Purifying q French City.

1t Is Said to BE Working Wonders in
Purifying a French City.
The most wonderful stories are told
of the disinfecting power of sea water
after electrical treatment. as exhibit
ed at Havre, where experiments upon
a very large scale have been made
under the direction of M. Hermite. the
inventor of the system. The following
is an extract from the special CORE
spOndence of the London Standard:
"A central station for the proper
electrOlyzing of sea water had been es-
tablished at Havre, on Qui Lombardie.
near the Angouleme bridge, and pipes
in connection with it had been laid
through all the streets of the St. Fran
co.'s quarter, inhabited by some twelve
thousand people of the poorest classes,
and formerly the hot-bed of every in
fictitious disease. The electrolyzed sea
water forced through the pipes had,
however, effected a marvellous change,
The streets watered with the disinfect-
ing liquid, by means of hose connected
with the pipes, had lost that putrid
odor which formerly made them not
only repugnant, but an ever-present
danger in the very center of the town,
In addition to this, two of the most
insalubrious houses in the district had
been chosen by M. David, the town
architect, for the application of the
Hermite system to dwellings, One of
them was situated at No. "a Rue de Ia
FOntaine, and the other at S5 Rue
d'Edreville. A large tank, connected
with the electrolyzed sea-water mains.
had been placed at the top of each of
these six-story buildings, and pipes
from the tank carried down to flush
| the closets and sinks on the various
floors In the case of the house No. %
Rue de la Fontaine. the now odorless
water from the syphons of the closets
and sinks was conducted through pipes
to the street gutter, down which it ran
some distance before it ultimately fell
into the sewer. The object of this ar
rangement was to offer the public a
constant, visible and olfactory proof
OF the purifying qualities of electro
lyzed sea water. The disinfecting
liquid, SO to say, consumed the sewage
matter. as well as the microbes it con-
tanned, and in passing along the gut
ter and through the sewers it con-
trlbuted to the disinfection of both of
them by the chlorine it still contained.
With the Hermite system all the sew
age water could, without inconven-
fence, be allowed to flow into the sea.
or even into rivers, for it purifies in
stead Of communicating Them
A Historic Memento.
A jewel box. recently presented to
Cardinal Gibbons, was made from a
piece of the roots of a mulberry tree
under which. at st. Mary's in Mary
land, it is believed mass was first eel
ebrated in this region. The date of
this service was March s5, 1854. and
when the tree blew down few wears
ago 1t was thought to have been be-
tween three hundred and four hundred
years old.
