FIGHTING ousLs IN ITALY.



tives "f the unny Lani Indulge.
Dueling is the leading and almost
the only athletic sport in Italy, says
the ldler. 1t is true that there is an
Alpine club, so-called because it's men,
bers climb the lesser heights of the
Apennines, but there is no cricket,
and, except among the iaboring
classes, ball games of even the millest
character are hardly ever played. The
young Italian gentleman finds i'll duel
ing an exercise which is beneficial to
his muscles and sufficiently exciting
to interest him, and the middle-aged
Italian keeps up his practice with the
foils and occasiona ly challenges and
fights n friend just to show that he is
not so old rs to have lost a genial inter-
est in the innocent pursuits of youth.
Dueling is contrary to law in Italy,
but the du list is never punished (un-
less he should accidentally kill a MANI,
except in the army, where the sport is
obligatory and strictly prohibited. The
same curious anomaly exists in Ger
many, where army officers are arrest
ed and punished il they fight a
duel and either cashiered or forced to
resign if they do not. The Italian off,
Ger. when challenged to eight. is virtu-
ally told: You'll be condemned if you
do and condemned If you don t." This
seems to the Anglo-Saxon decidedly
idiotic, but nothing can well be more
idiotic than dueling. Playing cha
radcs in drawing room rises to philo-
sophie heights of wisdom in COM
parison with it. At least ninety-nine
out of every hundred Italian duels arc
of the class technically known as
FIRST blood duels. That is to say, the
combat ceases the moment either of
the advcrsaries loses blood. In these
ducls the sword is always used. and

the arm-which arc the localities usu-
ally NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the end of
the game and authorizes the duelists
to shcathe their weapons and go some
where 10 dinner together. Instances
have happened in which duelist has
been accidentally run through the
body and killed, but incidents of this
sort are extremely infre1 uent COM
pared with the fatalities of the foot
ball field. Italian dueling is probably
the safest of all athletic sports, except
prize fighting as practiced by modern
pueili,ts by means of letters to tho
sporting papers.

Origin of Il Phrase.

In 1886 Sir William Davenant, the sec
ond poet laureate, produced a comedy en-
titled '"The Wits" in which two of the
characters, being Northern gentlemen,
and bred to a rural life, are represented as
having undertaken, with little money in
their purses, to repair to London, ito
borrow" one of them declares. ''where
I'll never lend, and buy what I'll never
pay for The other observes. Eve come
to be the business of all eyes," then hav-
ing intended to paint the town red, they
like in Paris. 'All this without charge,
too, / mean, to us; we bring a humorous
old philosophy to town, that says, pay
nothing"
When an improvident brother of one Of
these Adventures asks, ''how shall
live?" the ready answer is, ''as we intend
to do, by our Wits and even their horses
should have to get subsistence by their
own wits, too" When the same IMPROVE
dent speaker remarks that the Magma
Charta does not allow a subject to live by
his WITS" and that there is no statute
for it." he is haughtily informed your
common lawyer was no antiquary." But

ever the two adventurers are made to re-
pent of their foOlhardiness and to return
to their congenial mode of living. the

upon him may point moral.

THE ARMADILLO AS A FORAGER.
Habits of an Eccentric AnimaI-A Mouse
and Insect Die.

Habits of an Eccentric AnimaI-A Mouse
and Insect Dict.
The armadillo, as eccentric in his hab
it's as in his appearance, does the duty of
the domestic cat among the field mice in
South America, which are terribly de-
structive. Voracious in his appetite, he
is sedentary by inclination, but he finds
his game with very little trouble Mice
are always more or less abundant,
though periodically, and almost punctu
ally their numbers decline, but in GER
tain years they positively swarm.
Then the dogs subsist on them, they
fatten the poultry, and great flights of
fowls in the air ere perpetualy on the
hover over their breeding grounds. AS
for the armadillo, he goes to work me-
thodically, quartering the plain like a
well-bred eagle, and shifting the earth
with preternatural acuteness. When his
nose informs him that a mouse is near
he creeps up stealthily toward the
sport; then, slowly dragging himself up
and making his spring, he traps the
mouse, or whole family of mice, be-
meath his body.
But he does not cOntine himself to a
mouse and insect diet, and in attacking
the snake he uses his impenetrable body
armOr as weapon of offense. A
friend of Mr. Hudson witnessed one of
these encounters. The armadillo
rushed UPON Il snake, which Valnly sought
to escape, and rocked himself to and fro
on the body until the victim was cut Np
into sections under the sharp edges of the
armadillo's bony covering. Should ami
NAL food fail him, the armadillo falls
back upon vegetables, so that he need
never take more than Indispensable exer-
else, and can always keep himself in
comfortable condition. Another inveter-
ate enemy of the snakes is their con-
gener, the iguana, or great tree lizard,
of which Mr.. Hudson tells a Comical
story, related to him by Guacho friend,
who was riding carelessly along, letting
one end of his lasso trail behind.
He noticed a large iguana lying ap-
parently asleep in the sun, and, though he
rode by it very closely, it did not stir;
but no sooner had he passed it than it
raised its head and fixed its attention on
the forty feet of lasso trailing slowly by.
Suddenly it dashed after the rope and
dealt it a succession OF violent blows
with its tail. When the whole of the las
so, several yards of which had been
pounded in vain, had been dragged by,
the lizard, with uplifted head, continued
gazing after it with the greatest aston
ishment. Never had such Il wonderful
snake crossed its path before.-Edin-
hurgh Review.

SHEKELS CAME DOWN.
Macca baean Silver Pieces Made q Drug

Macca baean Silver Pieces Made q Drug
the Market
Some twenty-five years ago a peasant
dug up, near Jericho, pot full of silver
shekels; they were Maccabaean shekels,
and of the scarcest kind. There were,
believe, 12Q of them. About five-and-
twenty were secured by friend of mine
who sent them to me with a request that
[ would take them to the museum, where
they would be examined, valued and kept
This / did. Shekels-M shek-
els-before this find, were worth about 10
guineas apiece.
When / poured out the contents of my
bag on the table of the numismatic chief,
then my old friend w. S. w. Vaux, he
called out to his two assistants:
Here's q misfortune; come here quick
ly. What misfortune! Shekels! All
these are shekels!'
Then they II three laid their heads up
on the table and walled aloud-for the
value of the shekels had gone down at
that one stroke by about one-half, and
those that had shekels in their collections
could no longer brag and boast of their
value.
What became of this particular lot of
shekels I know not. But the moral of the
story is that the discovery of buried treas
ure is not thing always to be prayed for,
because it might, in some cases, prove
highly destructive to property.--Walter
Besant, in the Queen.

Bermuda's Sunny Isles.

Due east of Charleston, seven hundred
miles southeast of New York. the three
hundred and siXty-fve islands of the Ber-
mudas raise their rocky shores above the
waves of the Atlantic. Farther removed
from all points of land than any other
group in the world. They smile in the
radiance of their perpetual sunshine and
tempt the world to their golden paradise.
Three lines of steamers connect the Sun
ny Islands with the Work-day world:
one runs from Halifax to Turks Island; ;
one from St. John, New Brunswick, to
Demerara via the Windward Islands,
both touching at Bermuda about once in
three weeks; and the Quebec Steamship
Company. carrying the United States
Canadian and Bermuda mails, which regu-
larly conducts the service with two steam
ers, Orinoco and Trinidad, by weekly de-
partures every Thursday from New York
and Hamilton, from January to July, and
by fortnightIy trips of the Orinoco the re-
mainder of the year. From July to Janu-
airy those in Bermuda wait two long
weeks for mail, for papers, for new faces,
for an opportunity to leave the islands

The latest statistics gathered from all
quarters of the globe place the Protestant
communicates of the entire world at 1885,
600, 900 and the Roman Catholic adher-
ents at POI 100000. The estimate for the
Protestants included all of the denomina-

alone the Roman Catholics claim 6,370,-
1913 adherents, of which number 2,54S, 335
are adult members. Statisticians say that
it is very difficult to obtain accurate infor-
