be smaller than at any time since June

back In anticipation of the taking effect

receipts will be up to the average of the

Inmates Of the increase of revenue under

A. T. Layalicttc of Cristicld. Nd. In
times gore by terrapin were so plentiful
that thCy We're fed to the negro slaves,
being about the cheapest kind of food at
that period. Some OF the masters would
Overfccd their slaves to such an extent
that they were compelled to sign Grti-
cles Of agreement that terrapin should
not be fed ont once or twice per week.
If anybody doubts this, there are old
documents still on file at some Of the
county seats of the eastern shore Of
Maryland that will confirm the truth
OF what l say.
The price for terrapin increased
with the demand up to 1898, the sup
ply during that time being on the de-
crease. Full counts'-that is specimens
| measuring seven inches and over and
weighing from three to six pounds
Were worth then from $50 to $3.50 per

9o0e Interesting Notes About Duels and
tho Practice OF Dueling.
Even in Germany the popularity of
the duel is open to some doubt. Its ex-
istence is due not so much to a desire
for combat as Of fear what people will
say if there is 10 Sight. There have been
noted duelists who were always ready
for fray, and when they entered a
drawing room women quailed and hoped
il would not be their husbands CT lovers
who would be so unlucl;y as to excite
the ire of the men Of blood
During the occupation of Paris by the
allies there were duels every day. the
Frenchmen usually being the challen-
gers and the victors, as they were very
skillful with the small sword. Some
times, however. they made mistake.
as when they jeered at an English officer
over losing his leg at Waterloo. The
| jeerer discovered that the loss Of his leg
did not interfere in the least with the
Englishman's aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An
| English captain, challenged by a
| Frenchman, had the choice of weapons
and chose pistols. The Frenchman de-
clared he would fight with nothing but
| the sword, and interested friends finally
| compromised on lances. ON horseback
| The combat naturally attracted much
attention. \ great crowd witnessed the
duel. Onc man received three ugly
prods, but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever he made smile
over the famous story of the Ensiishmcn
ard Frenchman who were TO fight a
duel in pitch dark room. Not wishing
to kill his man, the Englishman fred
up the chimney when the word was
given, and, to his surprise. brought
down the Frenchman. who had hidden
there. When this story is told i'll France,
it is always the Englishman who is ur
