died at 1:20 o'clock this afternoon at
his home at Glen Cove, Long Island.
Mr. Pana's death had been expected
for several hours, and his family and
physicians We're at his bedside when
the end came. His condition had been
such for several months that the mem
bers of the family had kept themselves
in constant readiness to go to his bed

apparent that recovery was Impossible
Several times, however, he rallied, but
toward night began to sink. During
the night there We're feeble rallies, but
they did not last long. This morning,
it was seen that the end was but few

almost constantly at his bedside. The
end came quietly.

not improve much with the coming or

became more frequent. On Friday Mr..
Dana was able to take only the lightest
nourishment, and this condition con-
tinued. Paul Dana and his sisters,

A Sparrow Prima Donna.

M. Mingaud, naturalist of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Scientifique,
an interesting account of the musical
accomplishments of sparrow in his
collection of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until it
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in cage containing a chaffinch, gold
finch and two canaries. After a time
the sparrow learned to MARBLE like the
fnches and to trill like the canaries, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring M. Mingaud is ac-
customed to keep box of crickets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling il
with its songs. Even after the crickets
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred its lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted TO initiate the crickets. Singn
larry enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry of it's own
species, having been removed from its
nest too carly, apparently, to have
learned it.

First Duels In Italy.

The first duels were fought in Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks Of a
manuscript discovered at Cassel and de-
scribes duel between father and a
son in the reign of the Emperor Theod-
oric. When Charlemagne forbade wager
of battle among the Lombards, he en-
countered the fiercest opposition from
the mobiles. Early in the ninth century
De Medicis, knight, defeated in single
combat the bandit Mugel, who devastat-
ed the Florentine district now called
after him, Mugello. Ohio III granted
the prayer of the nobility for the re-
establishment of wager of battle in 9S8.
Women and priests were not compelled
to accept it. The Normans showed less
gallantry. With them a woman had to
accept, nor could she name champion.
Her male opponent, however, was buried
to his waist in the earth. Armed with a
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being
ball of iron at the end of cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third attempt,
he was vanquished, which meant to
him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so many
duels were fought in Italy in the early
days is that where the law does not af.
ford protection one must look to single
combat to retain the respect of ones
fellow men. In the middle ages the feroc-
ity of Italian duels passes belief. ANY

An Exciting Runaway

There was an exciting runaway on the
Swedetown road last evening, when
Frank Loyejoy's trotter got away from
him and unceremoniously dumped Frank
by the wayside. The horse is naturally
quiet and never attempted to run away
before and, from appearances, will never
do so again.
Frank was coming up from Osceola on
the Swedetown road, riding in racing
sulky instead OF the family pbeton,
which was laid up for repairs. The horse
was going at breakneck speed, it's usual
rate OF travel, when one of the wheels
struck large stone. The sulky shook
far one minute, then it went oyer and
Frank fell out. The horse ran along very
unconcerned for few hundred feet and
then waited for the driver. Mr.. Loyejoy
picked himself up and found two or three
bad bruises, but beyond these and few
scratches he was not seriously Injured.
The horse was badly frightened.

The simple Life ~ Engiand's Queen In
Her Childhood Days.

Her Childhood Days.
James Cassidy has written for st.
Nicholas an article on the "Girlhood
Days of England's Queen" in the
course of which he says:
There was an occupation in which
the wee woman of seven years. wearing
simple white gown and large straw
hat, was frequently seen engaged. 1t
was watering the garden plants. One
of those who saw her said that as he
sometimes watched her intently at
work he wondered which would get tho
most water, the plants or her own little
feet.
The princess was an early riser, get
ting up at z, frequently earlier in the
summer, and breakfasting at o'clock.
Her breakfast was just such as any
well cared for little girl who was not
princess might be expected to enjoy,
bread and milk and fruit, placed on a
small table by her mothers side.
When breakfast was finished, the lit
tie princess went for walk or drive,
while her half sister, Feodore, her al
most constant companion, studied with
her governess From 10 to IL the duch-
ess instructed 'Drina, after which she
was at liberty to wander at will through
the rooms, or to play with her many
costly toys.
Two o'clock was the dinner hour Of
the princess, though the luncheon hour
of the duchess. Plain food, nicely
cooked, was placed before the little
girl, and she did it justice, for she was
healthy and strong and enjoyed her
meals. After dinner she received assist
ance in her studies till O'Clock, when
she was taken by her mother to visit a
friend or perhaps to walk or drive. or
she was permitted TO ride donkey in
the gardens.
At the dinner hour of the duchess
her little girl supped, seated next to
her mother. Then came "a romp with
her nurse, Mrs. Brock. By the time the
romp was finished the house party
would be at their dessert, and then the
princess would be called in to join
them.
Nine o'clock was bedtime, and she
never prolonged her day beyond that
hour. No matter whether she was at
home or at the house of friend, 80
O'Clock bedtime was rigidly enforced. "
Her little bed was placed beside her
mothers larger bed, SO that by day and
night mother and daughter We're never
far apart.
Regular study, regular exercise, sim
pie food and plenty of time out of
doors, plenty of play and plenty of sleep
distinguished the upbringing of EIg-
land s future queen.
