Although ii is Il familiar saying that
an TriShman is always spelling for IL
fight. still there is one kind of fighting
t. which the brave sons of Erin are
sometimes averSe-that is duclling. \
story well illustrating this fact has
recently come to our knowledge.
A certain Irishman. having been chal-
lcnged to fight a duel, accepted the
conditions after much persuasion on
the part of his friends, who felt sure
of his success. His antagonist. Il lame
man, walked on crutchcS
When the place for the shooting had
been reached. the lame mans seconds
asked that he ne allowed to lean
against milestone which happened
to be there. The privilege was grant
beside the milestone.
The Irishman and his seconds drew
off to the distance agreed upon-10O
feet. Here Pats courage suddenly
failed him. and he called to the lame
man:
Il have IL small favor to ask of We,
SUR.
What is it," asked the cripple.
Pat hcSitated a moment and then
said: Il told We thit ye might lean
against the milestone, and now would
like the privilege of leaning agin the
next one"
The laughter which followed spoiled
cvcrybody'S desire for fight, and the
whole party went home without a shot
having been fired.

A student of life and manners in the

This remarkable fact is attributed. part
ly to the great improvement in the
economy of Indian jailS, since the OK
poSurc of their mismanagement some
years ago, but more directly to the
prevalent practice when n crime has
been committed of handing over the
least useful member of the family as
Il sort of vicarious offering to justice.
On this point the Inspcctoriencral

confinement which conviction entails

to whom the crime, by his own confcS-

One who has devoted some time to
the study of finger nails states that
they grow more rapidly in children
than in adults. and that the growth is
SlowcSt with the aged. His obscrva-
tionS. however. do not stop at this, for
he finds that both in childhood and age
they grow faster in summer than in
winter. The period of renewal differs
proportionatrly with the length of the
fingers Thus it Is more rapid in the
middle fingers than any other. In the
fingers on either side of the middle
fingers the period of renewal Is about
equal and slower. 1t is even more
slow in the little finger, and the slow
est of al is the thumb. Comparing
the same fingers with the different
hands. the person who discovered these
curious phases of growth states that
on an average the nails ON the l"ft
