Deadly Duel with Pills.

An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar.
rived at, not by swords or pistols, but
by means of deadly poison. The
men-who, it is hardly necessary to
say, had fallen out over O 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 diff
ferences. One of the seconds was
doctor, and made up for the occasion
four black pellets, all identical in size
and shape. 'In one of these, he said,
81 have placed sufficient quantity ol
prussic acid to cause the almost instan-
taneous death of any one who swal
lows it. We will decide by the toss ol
coin which of you Is to have first
choice, and you will alternately draw
and swallow a pill until the poison
shows its effects" Two of the pellets
were then taken as the toss had de-
cided, 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 instant" The choice was
again made, and III few seconds one
of the men lay dead on the grass. -

nneerest RicYcIe Made.

Now, here is the queerest, cheapest
bicycle that is made anywhere in this
or any other country. That there is o
fall In the price of bicycles is undeni
able.> But nobody ever thought that
in this year of grace 1896 q wheel
could be made and sold for a quarter
of dollar, and both maker and seller
have a profit.
The author and finisher of the in.
genious machine is Fred Dodson, a
fourteen-year- old lad, who lives at
Fishing Greek, Penn. Little Dodson
worked for two months constructing
his old wheel, which bears about the
same relation to the modern bicycle
that the Spanish caravels did to one of
the White Squadron.
he made his frame and wheels OF
the best boards he could find, built a
comfortable saddle on a hickory
spring, and used a strip of perforated
leather in place of a chain. His pedals,
cranks and braces are marvels.
When he discovered that his won
derful product would go, he was the
gladdest boy In the Keystone State,
and when some one offered him q
quarter for it he snapped at the bar

A pocrons's OPINION.


Speaking on the subject lately, before the
Anthropological Society Of Munich, Bavaria,
DR.. Brendel, who said that the present time
referring to his own land, might be called
the alcoholic period OF man, because Of the
prevalence of the use of alcoholic drinks,
added;
"Alcohol, which apparently brings 50
much pleasure to its partakers, acts as poison,
IL even consumed in small doses daily, by
means OF its cumulative active action, as Is
strihngly shown here in Munich, the centre
OF beer consumption. by the frequent sudden
cases of death Of apparently healthy men.
Fatty, enfeebled hearts, shrlveled kidneys,
fatty or hardened livers, changes in the tex
ture OF blood vessels, which cause paralyttc
strokes and'softening of the brain by burst
Ing in the brain, chronic catarrhs of the
stomach and bronchial tubes, etc., trembling
OF the limbs, alterations and diseases OF the
mental faculties, delirium tremens, ETC.
these are some Of the consequences OF an
tmmoderate drinking Of alcoholic stimulants
Professor DR.. Bollinger, of this city (Mu-
nfcb), has In the same manner proved the
prevalence Of various diseases of definite
nature Of the internal organs caused by the
universal drinking of beer. A normal heart
or kidney Is the exception only here in Mu-
Mich. This state Of affairs also Injuries the
progeny In a most serious manner. Dr.
Demme found that Of the children Of nom
drinkers eighty-two per cent. were sound
Wnlle OF tnOS6 OF drinkers only seventeen per
cent. were sound. Although large
quantities of beverages were drunk formerly,
still only In the last century, and more es-
peciaily only in the last decades, in which
the brewers art was perfected, has drinking
become universal. 1t has spread everywhere
and increased to n frightful, most alarming,
extent. 1t has been introduced even Into
country communities, and the only inevitable
consequence will be the thorough degenera-
tion OF the human raoo II the evil Is not
checked before II is too iate. Although II Is
contended that beer contains less. aleeh6l
than either wine or whisky, II Is, neverthe-
less, as injurious as either OF them, while its
vaunted nututive value stands In no proper
tion to its price. When man is required to
perform the greatest feat of corporal exer-
ton in battle, sport, exploration. etc., the
baneful effect Of alcohol is most strlkingly
shown. In spite OF the marvellous
advantage Of our present age retrogresslon
in an ethical sense Is undeniable, the chief
cause OF which Is principally due to the in
crease of drunkenness because the beer saloon
has become the centre and focus Of social
life."

The Toronto (ontario) hotel keepers say
bicycling hurts their business, II the follow
ing extract from the Toronto World Is to be
believed:
"The bicycle continues on its way, revolu-
tionizIng our modern life in many Of its re-
spects. The saloon keepers and cigar dealers
are the latest TO complain of the new order
of things. The dispensers of liquid refresh
ments are the chief sufferers, by their own
accounts, for thousands OF young men who
formerly patronized the downtown bars,
spending, many Of them, fifty cents a day on
an average, have taken to the wheel and their
erstwhilo haunts know them no more. The
country hotel keeper, on the other hand. Is
much benefited by the cycle revolution. His
once almost-deserted house, II II affords good
accommodation, is visited aaiIy by dozens of
wheelmen, whose loose change, given IN ex-
change for meals aud ''soft stuff" replen-
ishes his Golfers and causes a broadening ot
the smile on his rublcund countenance."

and a stranger who bore the coffin box.
Without knowing just why man fell
in behind them. another and another
followed until there was good COM
pany. At the river side strangers put
the coffin into the box and placed it
aboard the boat. A flower boy, who
had just landed and joined the crowd,
laid wreath on the casket. All was
done silently, and the father, as he
embarked, turned and in tears returned
thanks fer having found friends in a
city of strangers. New York Sun.

THE ropEn's MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.

''Why do men drink2" is an old question
upon which some savants are seeking TO
throw new light. The London Society for
the Study Of Inebrlety has been recently dis
cussing tho problem, though with no verV
harmonious results of opinion. Dr. Norman
Kerr for one declares that little progress will
bo made In the way of decreasing drunken
ness until 1t Is recognized as n disease. and
not merely as moral weakness. II is be-
cause this fact has not been realized, he says,
that no results of all labors in the line of
legislation have accrued. Evidently DR..
Kerr begs the question in this statement.
Legislation cannot do everything to offset
the rum evil, but that 1t has, where invoked,
accomplished something in the way of the
diminutiOn OF this social curse is evident to
every candid observer. II tho question be-
asked, ''Why do men drink?" Of course tho
readiest reply Is: "Because thev want tor
But why should they wish tor As the result
OF an appetite, all would agree, and at the

petite must be admitted, as DR.. Kerr con-
tends. Rum is an intruder in the physical
frame, and induces an abnormal state. both
morally and physically. But because the
topper becomes at length a walking incarna-
tion OF disease, we are not warranted in ex-
cusing him from moral responsibility for the
taking of ''the first glass" and OF all the sue
cessive potions that have proved so madden
ing and destructive. Still, there Is a pathol-
ogy of drink, which may well be studied in
connection with the systematic prosecution
OF temperance efforts.-New York Indepen-
