Hou prels start In Germanr.

Arthur phiole, young student at the
High School of Technology In Charlotten-
burg, near Berlin has been sent to a fort
ress for nine months because he provoked
and fought a duel with DR.. Brockelmann.
Brockelmann was rhiele's second In a
sword duel, and in his comments on tho
meeting criticised severely one Of Thiole's
strokes Thielo regarded the criticism US
an insult. He challenged the doctor, but
a court Of honor decided tho doctor was
under no obligation to accept the chal-
longe. This decision angered Thiele. He
was determined to have duel at any price
So he sat down and wrote what, to his
German mind, wns the most insulting lat
ter he could thirk ont. This letter reached
its climax in the sentence:
"You may regard yourself as morally
boxed on the earby the undersign Il. F"
TO BrociSelinsnn's German mind, too,
this seemed an insult that only blood could
wipe out. Thus it came that carly ono
morning. Tniele md BrOokelmann found
themselves ten PAGES apart in the Gruno-
valid and shot nteaoh other until Thiele
foil with Dangerous wound IN the abdo-
men. Thigie fingered for days between life
and death, but atCr once taking turn

nine months rest in Prussian fortress

Bishop Thorburn, tho great Methodist
Episcopalian, on the Sunday evening after
the steamer Caledonia left Bombay on her
last voyage preached on sin In showing
that sin was simply tho generic term for
many evils he pointed out that charcoal
and diamond were composed of tho same
clements differently combined and said
that if you were to place "a chunk Of char
coal ON the deck and leave it there till the
ship reached Suea it would be found to
have deprecated 20 poF cent, whereas a
diamond similarly treated would be found
as pure, as bright and as valuable as when
first deposited in its position. The prolnul
cation Of this theory had tho effect of rails
ing an excited controversy ON board, and
Mr.. Archer, described as great Yankee
authority on books, offered the bishop
to place piece of charcoal on the deck on
oondftloR that his opponent supplied the
diamond ald-he would bet RS. 5000 that
when tho boat reached Suez there would
be more charcoal and less diamond visible
The bishop shirked the ordeal. -Westmin-

1t will bo remembered that n man named
Durand Of Marseilles gained considerable
notOrioty some time ago by novel and
extraordinary feat which he accomplished
In his native town. For go days he sue
cessfully stood upright as statue on a
pedestal.
This individual is once moro drawing
public attention, this tlmo in Paris, by
another act quite as original as his first
achievement. In cafe concert, situated
on the confines Of Montmartre, hs has now
hung himself up by a cord placed around
his neck and will attempt to remain in
this uncomfortable position during the
space of 10 days.
This case Of suspension" is not looked
upon as legitimate by every one, as it Is
not possible to see whether the cord is
placed solely around the neck or passes
under the shoulder blades. Be these suspi-
nions correct or not, the undertaking is
none ~ less eccentric and certainly I'M

A curious fossil that bears a fantastic
resemblance to the work of some pre-
historic dentist is mentioned in a recent
book, THE Gold Diggings of Cape
Horn" An acquaintance of the au.
thor's. during journey from the Strait
of Magellan up the coast, stopped under
a vertical earth bank to pick out fossil
that he saw protruding. The relic
proved to be part of a mastodon's lower
jaw, with two teeth still in place. AS it
was in bad condition he was about to
throw it away, when he saw in a splitir
the top and side of one tooth bit OF
some foreign substance. This turned
out to be gold. and. as the finder be-
lieves, must have been deposited in fine

MRS. HARRIET sEEcHER STOWE.
s'Trust In tho Lord and Do Good" Is Her
FavOrite Motto.

''Trust In the Lord and Do Good" Is Her
FavOrite Motto.
Forty-flve years ago it was that Harriet
Beeoher Stowe wrote her great slave epic,
"Uncle Toms Cabin, and she was then
a mature woman of 80. The book appear
ed first as a serial In The National Era Of
Washington, running from june, 1851, to
April, 1852 For tho serial rights she re
peiYed $500, what seemed to her then q
god round sum. When the story was
given book form in the same year, the sale
was phenomenal and the result is a part
Of United States history. Three thousand
copies went off the first day, the second
edition the next wook, third within q
month and 1870 editions within the year
over 300, 600 copies, The shy, retiring wife
Of the country professor, familiar with all
the exigenoies OF small means, found her
royalties In the short space of four months
yielding her $4,000. But it must not be
forgotten in the overwhelming dominance
OF "Unole Tom" that Mrs. Stowe has
written other powerful and charming nov
els.
Mrs. Stowe can rest from her labors in
the comforting sense Of the benefcent use
of a great gift. Throughout hor long life
her fayorite motto, often spoken and writ
ten and deeply felt, has been, Trust in
the Lord and do good. The passing Of
such life whom the hour comes, q life SO
long spared, can have little sorrow. Most
of her kin, the majority Of her friends and
all her literary contemporaries have gone.
Father, mother, husband, several children,
countless folk In this and other lands who
were intimates IN more active years and
the great New England literary group with
whom she is naturally to DO associated
Longfellow, Emerson. Whittier, Lowell
and finally her good friend DR.. Holmes,
''tha last leaf upon the treei-an these
and others yet again await her. One feels
that whether here tenderly cared for by
her own, or there, with the companions Of
her main strength aud lnightiest work, all
is well with Americas foremost and be-
loved woman Of letters. Richard Burton

The efforts of the organized charity
