The Salts In the Ocean.

The salts of the sea have fed, through
out all time, countless living things
which have thronged its water and
whose remains now form the rocks of
continents or lie spread in beds Of
unknown thickness over &C, 900, 900
square miles of the 143, 900, 900 square
miles of the oceans floor. They have

of 8 p per cent in the 900, 700, 900 cubic

oceans, 10000, ZOO, 900, 900, 900 tons,
or 10, 173. 900 cubic miles, of salt. This

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Dueling as 1t Was In France In the Time
of Richelieu.

of Richelieu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between 1000
and 5000 lives during the 20 years of
Henry Tvs reign, was ct its height
when his son came to tho throne. The
council of Trent in 1915 had solemnly
condemned the practice of single COM
hat, impartially including principals,
seconds and spectators in its penalty Of
accommodation. In 1902 an edict of
Henry pronounced the "damnable Gus
tom of dueling introduced by the cor
ruption of the century" to be the cause
of SO many piteous accidents, to the ex-
treme regret and dis pleasure of the king
and to the irreparable damage of the
state, 'that we should count ourselves
unworthy to hold the scepter if we de-
layed to repress the enormity Of this
crime.'
A whole series of edicts followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them. Deg
radiation, Imprisonment, confscation of
property, loss of civil rights and death
were the penalties attached to the in
fringement of the laws against dueling,
and still the practice prevailed. In 1926
Richelieu published milder form Of
prohibition. The first offense was no
longer capital, third only Of the Of
tenders property was to be confiscated.
and the judges were permitted to recog-
nize extenuating circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the minis
ter's patience i'll this direction. The
Place Royale had long been favorite
dueling ground, and De Bouteville
Travelled from Brussels to fight his twen-
ty-second duel here, in the heart of
Paris, in deliberate defiance of the kings
authority. The result was not encourage
ing. Montmorency though he was, the
count went with his second to the scat
fold, and the marked decrease from that
time in the number of duels may be at
tributed either to the moderation used
in framing the law or to the memorable
resolution with which it was enforced

Cope's attack on the destroying evils
of this, the greatest commonwealth
that has ever been known to a civil
lied people, the business of the club
at once introduced. The trend Of Mr.
| ton and cruel oppression of mono
lnetallists. Mr. Cope has been a giant
oak in the forest Of republican poll
ties, and from early boyhood he has
spent his untiring energy in the
ranks of that party. He repeatedly
gave his support to the immoratalized
Abraham Lincoln, and cast ballot
for James A Garfield, the ideal states
man. He rallied with the great party
that doomed the emancipation of
slavery, and was always an ardent
admirer of American finance. And
to the memory of our ancestry and to

idealized republican party should
lead a peace and liberty loving people
back into the most cruel slavery that
has ever been inflicted upon our
country. He openly denounced the
republican party for riding high cam
paign lodging hobbies and allow the
masses to follow after in clanking
| chains of financial oppression, and
condemned the gold standards s erro-
neous idea of patriotism. Is it patriot
| ism that says "we, as a nation, are
wholly unable to maintain and defend
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of Is to without the
consent and assistance of England 2"
No, he who fosters such an idea is a
traitor to the sacred cause of patriot
ism and is likely to become destroy
ing element in the good moral of civil
government. Mr. Cope's home wav of
presenting his Argument touched the
hearts of his hearers with such mag
netic force that few of our gold bug
friends were subject to the spell.
John Cope then in few words told
the club how necessary it was that
the farmer and laborer should be
protected. and that the needed pro-
lection would only surely and speedily
come through the election Of VIM J
