An EXTRAORDINARY Duel.

An extraordinary duel, which at
the time created an immense sensa-
ton, was one in which the decision
was arrived at, not by swords or
pistols, but by means of a deadly
poison. The men-who, it is hardly
necessary to say, had f. len out over
a lady-had left the arrangement
of details to their seconds, and until
they faced each other they did not
know by what method they were to
settle their differences. One of the
seconds was doctor, and he had
made up for the occasion four black
pellets, all identical In size and
shape. In one of these" he said,
Il have placed a sufficient quantity
Of prussia acid to cause the almost
instantaneous death of any one who
swallows it. We will decide by the
toss of a coin which of you is to
have first choice, and you will al
ternately draw and swallow q pill
until the poison shows it's effects.
Two of the pellets were then taken
as the toss had decided, but without
effect in either case. This time"
said the doctor, speaking of the two
pellets remaining, you must both
swallow the pill at the same in
stant. The choice was again made,
and in a few seconds one of the men
lay dead on the grass. s.-Gentleman'

THINGS SAID BY PARROTS.

Stories offered as Proof That the Birds
Knew What They We're Saying.
/ The old idea that parrots did not
understand what they said seems to
have been exploded by stories of in
tanoes where the birds have used
phrases exactly adapted to the cir
0umstances. There Is tho story of a
parrot whose feathers had been
singed before it was rescued from
burning building. The parrot said:
THAT was d--d hot.
|. A sailor sold talking parrot to a
preacher. It talked sailor talk in
way that distressed it's owner, who
consulted friend and was told that
the way to break the bird of the
habit of swearing was to thrash it
soundly. The thrashing was duly
administered. When the bird got
its tongue UNFINISHED its first remark
was: III,
"That was HI of a cyclone.
| A bird that had been hung out in
. tree was forgotten, when thun-
der shower came up and drenched
1t. The bird sat silent for awhile,
but the rain kept falling faster and
faster. The bird began to scream:
Its wet, wet. Gee, but it's wet.
Rains like all creation!'
When parrot gets hungry, it
will, if alone, become nervous, work
Ing from cne end Of it's perch to the

as if it wondered where all of the
folks were. Then it begins to medi-
tate out loud:
| "Polly S hungry, dreadful. Where's
Polly n aster? Polly's tired. Pol.
ly's thirsty. It's hot. Polly wants
q cracker. - Then, should some one
stir in an adjoining room, the bird
screams its ''Polly wants cracker"
adding quick to it sometimes.
Ina Brooklyn house there is
parrot. One day the cat came in and
looked at the bird, licking it's chops
to think how good the breast would
taste. just then the mistress of the
house came in, and, seeing the cat,
drove it out, saying:
"Scatl Get out. You'll eat Polly"
The bird sat with it's head cooked
on one side, silent. A couple of days
later the cat got into the room un-
noticed by any one but the bird.
Suddenly the parrot gave yell,
and then said:
"Cat eat Pollyl Get out! Get out
S-c-a-t!"
The scat.was long drawn out and
was repeated with a jerk. The mis-
tress got there just in time to see
the cat leap at the bird. When the
two were separated the bird said:
"Polly's eat. Polly's eat. Cat eat
Polly. Boo-hoor' It had heard the
children cry and initiated the voice

''For there is hope Of tree, II it be

The idea is this: There can be no

and the body Of the man and that of a
tree are so different that, though the
tree may have been cut down SO long
that "the root thereof wax old in the

doctrine of the immortality of man

immortality? That death is not really
death, but simply dissolution of the
soul from its earthly house, that it
