HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.
Tho Poet Loved tho Country, Yet Moped
When He Was There.


All his life Horace had wished for
piece of land which contained garden,
a stream and coppice, and in the Sa-
bine valley no found all three. To take
a nap after his brief meal on the grass
by the stream was to him that exquisite
combination Of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish to despise because
it is an enjoyment within tho reach
Of every other animal as we'll as Of him
self Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at fibur
healthier than the capital, especially in
the autumn, "when all fathers and
mothers turn pale with fear for their
children" II may be doubted IL Romo
was so exempt from malarial fever at
that time as it is generally thought to
have been. Once, when he had promised
MGcenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all tho month
of August, and he begs his "dear
friend" IL he would have him keep
well, to let him stay yet longer, and
even pass the winter out OF Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking Of
Tarentum).
Yet was not there spice Of truth in
the taunt which his servant Davus ad-
dressed to the poet, that when he had
been too long in the country he moped
to death? We eare almost invited to sus-
pect that there was; the town was, after
all, the life Of his life. One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy Davus him
self hated seolusion as much as any Ital-
ian savant does today. Thur he may
have endured; there he could gossip
with the servants Of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due ohiacchiere except with the
steward--another martyr? By immortal
izing the amusing criticism Of Davus,
Horace shows that he was the first to OBJ
serve that "no man was hero to his
valet "--Contemporary Review.

THE SHIP WAS AGROUND.
hut the Passengers Discovered That Fact
In u Roundabout Way.


In n Roundabout Way.
Itmust bo about ten years since was
returning to this country from New
York on board one of the Anchor line
boats. We left quito early in the morn
ing, and were steaming down the bay
In high hopes of pleasant trip. We
soon got into thick fog, and after
passing Sandy Hook at about quarter
speed the ship ran aground. The ma
jority of the passengers, however, knew
nothing of our plight, for the propeller
kept ON churning up tho water In fran
tic efforts to get the vessel Off the mud,
and tho fog was so dense that very few
headway.
The captain dispatched his first officer
to Sandy Hook to telegraph the position
of affairs to the agents, but as the en-
gines were still kept going no ono sus-
pected that anything unusual had oc-
Cured.
Presently the boat returned, but no
questions were asked, and no one SEEM
cd to have the idea that there was any
need to ask them.
Two or three hours passed, and an
ocean tug came alongside out of the fog.
Newsboys came Oh board to sell their
papers, and did good business. "Ex-
trar Extrarp was their cry, and these
"extrars" contained on the front page
q full and graphic account Of the strand
ing of the very liner on which they
were disposing of them
"Great Scottr' exclaimed one man
who had invested in a paper, "don't Z
these papers know how to lie? Here's
one saying now that our ship has run
aground"
$50 we are, and likely to remain, 4"
answered an officer, upon which the
passenger ran to the side Of the vessel
and looked over In order to convince
himself.
The news now, Of course, began to
spread all over the ship, but it was too
much for everybody when quarter Of
an hour later stout old gentleman
sprang up from his seat and yelled,
Jerusalem we're aground" and then
ran full tilt along the deck in fearful

THE CODE OF HONOR.
DueIIng M It Was In France In tbs Time
Of Richelleu.


The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between 1000
and 5000 lives during the 30 years Of
Henry IV's reign, was at it's height
when his son came to tho throne. The
council Of Trent in 1545 had solemnly
condemned the practice Of single COM
bat, impartially including principals,
seconds and spectators in its penalty OF
excommunication. In 1909 an ediot OF
Henry pronounced the "damnablo GUS
tom Of duoling introduced by tho cor
ruption Of tho century" to be the causo
Of 80 many piteous accidents, TO the ex-
treme regret and displeasure OF the king
and to the irreparable damage Of tho
state, "that we should count ourselves
unworthy to hold the scepter il we do
layed to repress the enormity Of this
crime.
A whole series Of edicts followed to
the same effect, but IL 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 1890
Richelieu published milder form Of
prohibition. The first offense was nc
longer capital, third only Of tho Of.
tenders property was to be confiscated,
and the judges were permitted to recog'
nize extenuating circumstances
A few months later tho Comte dc
Bouteville thought fit to test the minis
ter's patience In this direction. The
Place Royale had long been favoritC
dueling ground, and De Boutevillt
travelled from Brussels to fight his TWEEN
ty-second duel here, in the heart Of
Paris, in deliberate defiance Of the kings
authority. The result was not encourag
ing. Montmorency though he was, tht
count went with his second to the scaf
fold, and the marked decrease from tha
time in the number Of duels may be at
tributed either to the moderation uset
In framing the law or to the inexorabl'
resolution with which 1t was enforced

POOR MANS PROPOSITION.

: The Kinkead quartz mill, OF which
we spoke in our last issue, it is claimed,
will do the work of five stamps with less
than half the power, and can be built
and put into operation for less than nall
the cost of stamps. The cheapness in the
first cost and operation Of this mill
makes it possible to work with profit
ores so low in value that they have here
tofore been treated as waste. Each mill
will crush Is tons in "a hours through a
40-mesh screen. 1t requires a two-horse
power crude oil engine, at a cost 10 cents
per II. P. per 10 hours run. Price OF
mill, f. o. b. San Francisco, $1,000. 1t
weighs ~ tons. This mill will be per-
sonally examined in the near future and
it's merits, if they are a claimed, will be
made known at a later date. Every
thing being as claimed we believe that
ere the summer wanes one will be IN
operation for experiment in White
Horse. The inventor says ores bearing
81 in gold per ton can be worked at a
good profit. The entire plant will cost,
we estimate, about 81 800.
