First Due1s In Italy.

The first duels were fought in Italy, according to Millingen, who speaks of a manuscript discovered at Cassel and de- seribes duel between a father and q son in the reign of the Emperor Theod- oric When Charlemagne forbade wager of battle among the Lombards, he en- eountered the fiereest opposition from the nobles. Early in the ninth century De Medicis, a knight, defeated in single combat the bandit Mugel, who devastat- ed the Florentine district now called after him, MugeIlo. Otho II granted the prayer of the nobility for the re- establishment of wager of battle in 988. Women and priests were not compelled to accept it. The Normans showed less gallantry. With them 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 eled around him, his weapon being a ball of iron at the end of eord- If he failed to touch her at the third attempt, he was yanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor.
 Beocarin 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 one's fellow men, In the middle ages the feroc- ity of Italian duels passes belief. Any way of putting an enemy to death (sorni medo') is good enough, ;" says one of their writers. When all Italian spares his yanquished adversary, says Brantome, "he mains his arms and legs and gives him as memento of his kindness and generosity a hideous gash across the face. " Lampa8nano practiced on a painted model of Galeazzo Sforza before he stabbed him. Dueling was called "la scienza cayalleresca. '- Cornhill Magazine.

 The Watteau Piait,

From repeated reference to the wat teau fold, you will note that it is at present in great vogue, and will in all likelihood pass over into next spring to be used on gowns of ceremonial preten- slons Where it cannot. be used for cer- tain reasons it is simulated Ribbon trimming is disposed in such a way as to give quaint watteau effect behind. Although dressmakers suggest many pretty ways of using ribbon as garniture, the plain satin ribbon is generally em- ployed Fancy ribbon is not so popular as 1t was year ago. The plain kind, either contrasting in color or matching the foundation, if the frock be of null or some thin fabric mounted over a col ored silk, is preferred.
 For ball gowns, faconne mousseline chiffon, silk tarlatans and tulle are the leading fabrics. The more diaphanous and light the more fashionable the fabric. Only the bows on the breast and epaulets are permitted to be stiffened with wire. Full bebe front, embroidered belt and many flowers around the neck and waist are fashionable. Elderly la dies wear gowns of moire glace and velours, white, pale blue, heliotrope and cornfower blue velvet
 As regards colors which will be fash ionable, may be mentioned, first, all the greens. They will be worn in all tones, from the palest to the darkest, passing through the bronze shades The mor- dore, gray and mauve will be worn ex- tensively. Claiming great attention is very delicate mauve, called bulgaria.. Philadelphia Times.

PRINCESS VICTORIA.
fhe Simple Life of EnsIand's Queen Ia
 Her Childhood Days.

Her Childhood Days.
 James Cassidy has written for St. Nicholas an article on the "Girlhood Days of England's Queen" i'll the course of which he says
 There was an occupation in which the wee woman of seven years. wearing a simple white gown and large straw hat, was frequently seen engaged. It 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 the most water, the plants or her own little feet.
 The princess was an early riser, get ting up at 7, frequently earlier in the summer, and breakfasting at 8 o'clock. Her breakfast was just such as any we'll cared for little girl who was not a 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 a walk or a drive, while her half sister, Feodore, her al- most constant companion, studied with her goyerness. From 10 to 12 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 plineess, 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 ill 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, "9 o'clock bedtime was rigidly enforced. :" Her Ii tie bed was placed beside her mothers larger bed, so that by day and night mother and daughter were 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 Eng lands future queen.

Size Runs an Electric Car.

Miss Hattie K. Miller of Santa Bar. bara. Cal, is probably the only woman in the world earning her living as mo- torman on an electric car. When elec- tric street cars were first introduced in Santa Barbara a few months ago, she made a thorough study of the principles on which they were operated. When she applied for the situation, she answered all the requirements so well that she was appointed without hesitation She likes the work "It is like sitting in the saddle and guiding a gay horse ill a sharp race over wild road, she said recently to a reporter. When grasped the motor brake, I felt had force under my control that could outrun Q horse or any moving thing. I knew I had human lives in my charge, but l felt that it required skill, not muscle, to estimate the speed of the ear, to round the curves properly and to start and stop as required y Miss Miller is said to be as good looking as she is intelligent

Painted Furniture.

Surely the end of the delft craze has fully arrived when furniture is enameled in the shining white and painted in the brilliant blue. Chairs are to be bought, all windmills and w&tery channels out lined by stiff little trees. Even cradles are thus painted by some evil minded designer who has not learned the first principles of his ant and who is not aware of the height of absurdity reached by such designs so used. A very dainty cradle was seen not long ago, painted in dresden design of tiny violets, rose buds and forgetmenots on white ground. By the way, although an anna teur cannot paint furniture in any sort of pattern, almost any woman can wield a brush we'll enough to give piece of furniture 8 few coats of paint, and now one can buy all possible shades in a powdered form so that their mixing with the white enamel until the exact tint wished for is attained is an easy matter within the reach of any of us who desire to renovate an old chair or table

Putting a Stamp Upside Down.

Folk in general are not nowadays so careful as they were years ago ill the matter of affixing postage stamps to letters and receipt stamps upon bills, and many never note whether the stamps are the right way up or upside down. It was very different, however, before the rush and roar of this half of the century began, for it was next door to crime, in the eyes of many, to affix a stamp with the queens head the wrong way up Many were not only under the impression that her majesty would feel offended, but that if she took the matter up personally or told officials to act punishment could fol low. There are still, however, many people who look with horror upon a postage stamp upside down. Notes and Queries.

RECALLED BY TELEGRAPHER
Attraction of 8 Scene In Play Suggests
 a Story.


 a Story.
 When Secret Service" was first pro duced ill New York. the audiences for the first week or two included large number of telegraph operators, attracted by the vivid description given of the scene in which Gillette sends the mes sage and is shot through the hand. h. terest in this part of the play waned slightly, so far as the knights of the key were concerned, when 1t was found that the telegraphing, while it sounded very real to the uninitiated, was nothing but succession of meaningless clicks.
 Why 1t was expected that there should be real telegraphing any more than there should be real killing on the stage was explained by all old operator re- gently. "phere fingers in the mind of all the older men in the business, said he, the memory of the telegraphing scene i'll Oliver Doud Byron play, Across the Continent, ill which gen uine operator was substituted for the actor long enough to tick out welcome to any member of the profession who might be in the audience. 1t was at Mrs. John Drew's old Arch Street thea ter in Philadelphia, about , years ago. Every night the man on the stage would spell out; Good evening, boysl If you are all feeling we'll, rap out an answer on the iron support of the seat ill front of you. All together, now-one, two, three Gol'
 The rest of the audience were be- wildered by the ticking all over the house, and it was great fun for the boys and shrewd move on the part of the management, for it attracted telegra- phers in great force. They enjoyed the puzzled expression of the people, who couldn't understand the unanimity of the answer from the gallery, orchestra and lobby. Of course the talk between the stage and the house was not con fined to this salutation. It was on all sorts of topics, usually ill the form of an interrogation, with request for a simultaneous answer, The story has been told to the younger men, and whenever a play is produced i'll which telegraph key figures they like to see if the experience will be repeated.

The Home Garden,

Remove the dead leaves from plants every day and spray the foliage with water This will give the plants fresh appearance and will, in great measure, keep down insects. Tie up neatly to stakes all struggling, growing plants. Cleanliness of this kind helps to keoo the air of the room pure and contributes to the yigor of the plants. Turn the pots frequently so the plants may not grow one sided.

How Two Girls Made Money.

A country girl who is determined to go to Paris to study art is laying aside for this purpose each dollar she has earned, , writes Ruth Ashmore, ill an article on "Tbe Girl In the Country, " in The Ladies' Home Journal. "She found that there was no one else ill the village who could make as good bread and biscuit as she; that those who had to buy complained of the baker bread. She made no effort at sending her bread to 6 woman's exchange, as she knew that such places were always overstocka ed, but she went through her own town "a very small one-and asked for or ders. She is making money because there has never been sad loaf of bread or 8 heavy biscuit sent out from her kitchen. She will supply neighbor with hot biscuits at teatime, and she has learned to make dainty rusk, espe- cially for inyalids, who enjoy these light sweet dainties. Her prices are reasonable
 Another girl, ambitious to gain something, got her father to let her have @ bit of ground and to give her the money that he would otherwise have bestowed upon her for wedding dress. With this she was able to buy plants and to hire q boy to help her, and dur. ing the summer, while the boarding houses around demanded them, she served the freshest of radishes, the crisp est of lettuce, the earliest corn and the largest tomatoes, and she says now that she thinks she will double the size of her garden next summer.

Ohio University.

The museum Of the state university
at Columbus, O.. has received a cOllec-
ton of Indian relics which fnrsurEa>ses
in rarity and value any OF its late ac-
quisitionS. The set consists Of over 500
pieces which cannot i" reprnduced and
is perhaps equal if not superior to any
similar one in eAisteEre Most prom

1000 or more sea shells. These buck-
skin suits are no longer made or used
by the Indians of to-day and acquire
extreme value from that fact.
