Brilliant colors in gloves are prom.
Used. There have been rumors of a gay
ness in color and workmanship in gloves
for some time. 1t is very doubtful,
however, if any especial brilliance in
handwear becomes general People in
the long run have too good taste to in
dulge in anything SO unpleasantly con-
spicuous. although taste is often strange
ly warped by fashion But there are
symptoms of color IN gloves which are
still in good taste. Four button, white
dressed kid gloves show in the stitching
in the back delicate blue, pink, green
and brown, and in some cases the bind
ing around the wrist is of the same col

The misuse of the title professor, -
when it is applied indiscriminately to
musicians in general finds an amusing
example in the following story, credited
to Bandmaster Sousa and printed in
The Musical Age;
Some years ago Sousa was leading a
band at small country festival The
advent of the band had been awaited
with intense interest by the audience,
and when they arrived the bandsmen
were quickly surrounded by surging
crowd which hemmed them in so that
it was difficult for them to keep on
playing
Sousa appealed to one of the commit
tee to keep the crowd away and said
that unless his men had more room they
could not play The committeeman
shook his hand warmly. and, turning to
the assembled multitude, bawled out;

The Green Bag gives as follows:
Daniel Webster when in full practice
was employed to defend the will Of
Roger Perkins of Hopkinton. A physi-
clan made affidavit that the testator was
struck with death when he signed the
will Webster subjected his testimony
to a most thorough examination, show
ing by quoting medical authorities that
doctors disagree as to the precise mo-
ment when a dying man is struck with
death, some affirming that it is at the
commencement of the disease, others at
its climax and others still affirm that
we begin to die as soon as we are born.

posing counsel, what doctor maintains
that theory"

FORMER DUELs.
Some OF the Famous Affairs OF Honor Of
the Past.

the Past.
General Benedict Arnold fought
duel near Kilburn Wells in 1891 with
Lord Lauderdale, who, after Arnold
missed him, refused either to fire or to
apologize, saying that if the general
was not satisfied he could keep ON firing
until he was. In 1904 the turbulent
Lord Camelford, the symmetrical ar
rangement of whose whips and sticks
over his chimneypiece is described by
Byron, From the thick bludgeon to
the taper switch" lost his life in
duel he owed to a vengeance de femme
Captain Best had caught sharper
named Symonds in the act of cheating
and kicked his face to a pulp. The
mans wife wrote Camelford an anony-
nous letter to tell him his friend Best
had slandered him. A duel was fought
with pistols (they were the two best
shots in England), and Camelford fell
with mortal wound "You have killed
me, Best said the dying man, but
the fault is wholly mine. relieve you
of all the blame" But men of mature
years and established reputation risked
life as recklessly as the widest young
guardsmen or London rakes.
Charles James Fox fought duel with
a cabinet minister, Mr. Adam, in 1879.
Four shots were exchanged Adam
missed. Fox fired in the air and apollo
gized. Sir" said Adam, you have
behaved like man of honor. " In India,
toward the end of the last century, a
duel was fought between Warren Hast
ings and Sir Philip Francis, the latter
being dangerously wounded Shortly
afterward, in Bombay, Lord Mccartney
and Mr.. Sadler quarreled at the council
board, and in the duel Mccartney re-
ceived a dangerous wound. The Earl of
Talbot and John Wilkes, fighting duel
at night in the garden of the Red Lion
inn, at Bagshot, and discussing the
conditions of it beforehand in private

George Canning was seriously wound
ed when he and Castlereagh met at Put
ney in 1907 to exchange four shots Ia
the duel between Henry Grattan and
Mr.. Cory a bullet shattered the latter's
arm As late as 1885 Mr.. Roebuck
fought a duel with Mr. Black of The
Morning Chronicle, when two shots
were exchanged without result. The
fighting parson was then as well known
as the fighting editor The Rev. Henry
Bate, editor of The Morning Post, was

contemporaries call "a profigate
tongue" he was most successful as a

mon $40 month man If he did not
get through, another would take his sad
die and his bunk To the company it
mattered not at all whether the name
ON the pay roll was John Doe OF Rich
ard Roe He had lived meanly, not al
ways temperately. But he had trait
common to cowboys, a splendid Ameri-
can grit, and he got through On the
third day he dragged himself to the first
of the water holes. 1t contained small
amount of brackish and muddy water.
Beside it grew stunted willow bush.
Beneath the bush lay sleeping calf
Here were all the elements necessary to
insure his safety.
The man does not remember whether
he first shot the calf or first slaked his
thirst, or when the idea occurred to
him of the perambulatory splints But
by the time he had eaten his second
meal Of veal, which followed very close

He thinks he devoted about "a hours to

the low branched willow with his Jack
knife and to fashion a cane from the

ing from the foot to the knee, and upon
this, with the help of the cane, he
would walk. 1t was not springing. Il
was slow and painful motion, but by
contrast with the three miles achieved
in three days on hands and knees it
seemed both rapid and easy. He covered
the distance to the ranch in one day and
night, coming in just when the foreman
was calling, Roll out. !"
The first thing he asked after the
boys had put him in bed and cut off the
rawhide was for somebody to shave him.
He had hard enough time for sew
eral weeks, but the doctor did not am
putate the leg as he at first threatened
to do. We never convinced this saw
bones though we showed him the raw
hide splint, of the fact that the man
walked IL miles on broken leg.
''Humbug, said he mo such case
on record. The thing is preposterous. "

Longevity OF Astronomers.

The longevity enjoyed by astronomers
is proverbial, and an astronomical jour
nal gives long list of them who have
far exceeded the threescore years and
ten Among the eminent names are Cas-
SIM, who lived to 81 Caroline Herschel
to SO, Sir w. Herschel to "a, Newton
to "a, Mary Somerville to 90, HALEY to
SO. Sir George Airey to 90, Sir David
Brewster to So. Sir E. Sabine to "a,
Humboldt to 80, Schwabe to SO, Santini
to 81, and Fontenelle to 100 Regular
ity of habit conduces to longevity in any
walk of life, and it is a necessity to the
astronomer This, added to the calm
pursuit of those who study the heavens,
counterbalances the effect of late watch
ings and exposure to the night air.

Among the stupendous mountains of
Peru gold may be had for the seeking,
but death is for the white man who
seeks it. When old Juan went back to
his mountains and some old acquaint-
anoes, with another swarthy man who
spoke only as he did and was his friend,
their right of occupancy of hut and
lands was unquestioned, as were their
bartering expeditions to the nearest sea-
port But Juan and Bal Chico did not
always exchange their nuggets for COM
modities; oftener, with wisdom learn
ed abroad, did they demand coin. Juan
had come home with his old name of
Casma, and Bal Chico had assumed a
new name for his new habitation, and
the singular fact became known at the
town bank that Casma and Chira were
thrifty Indian depositors and checked
against their account. Casma explained
that abroad he had been called Juan
Sanchez and Chira had been known as
Diego Bias, and that they had made
debts which demanded the checks drawn
upon them by the Mexican bank of La
Hamidad.
Time passed, and Casma and Chira
prospered and eventually disappeared
from the Peruvian mountains and sea-
port. Their remaining deposits had been
transferred to La Hamidad, and in time
the officials Of La Hamidad were called
upon in person by their unknown pa
irons, Juan Sanchez and Diego Bias,
whose funds had never been drawn up
on for debt Juan Sanchez and Diego
Bias were introduced by resident of
La Hamidad, sailor on the ship that
had brought them from the Peruvian
port, and their money was duly paid,
and a fortune it was for two men of no
more expensive tastes than these who
left the bank, walked away and were
seen no more in La Hamidad.
In reputable house in the town
where Bal Chico had been youth and
been forgotten lived two old men to-
gether, two gray haired, harmless look
ing old men of commonplace names
that you have not heard yet, who tend
ed their oactuses and blooming vines and
the green paroquets that hung among
them in great cage, concocted savory
stews and lived their simple lives
largely in sight of their neighbors in
the outrageous garden behind their
houses, and whose only recreation seem
ed to be to frequent the plaza.
From their garden they could see the
rear of the house of the high and
mighty Don Pico, which rang with
laughter of manly sons and beautiful
daughters, but the old men were to ali
appearances injurious of the doings al
the great house 1t was known at the
plaza, where everything was known,
that Don Pico's oldest son would short
/ ly celebrate his arrival at mans estate
