.6ip Trade,

The doctor up In Kennebee town
recommended sea-water for an old
farmers wife who was suffering from
some ailment, and the farmer started
for the seashore with Jug.
The farmer had never seen the ocean
and must have had an idea that 1t was
private property. Else he decided that
doctors never prescribe anything that's
free. At any rate, he walked into store
on the beach and asked for jugful of
sea-water. The proprietor looked him
over and told him to 60 down and help
himself. When the farmer asked him
how much the price was, the trader
nearly tumbled over, but he recovered
and charged quarter.
About a month afterward the farmer
showed up again with his jug and was
told to 20 out as before and help him
self.
But the tide was out his trip and the
old man was obliged to walk about a
quarter of a mile across the flats. AS
he was paying quarter on his return
he pointed over his shoulder with his
thumb at the distant water line and re-
marked: "By Jim Hill, what a gosh-dar
nation of a trade you've been havin
sence was here last"-I.ewlston (Me.

Interesting Notes About Euels and
Duelling.
Even in Germany the popularity of
the duel is open to some doubt. Its eX-
lstence is due not so much to desire
for a combat as of fear what people
Will say if there is no fight. There
have been noted duelists who were al
ways ready for a fray, and when they
entered a draWing-rOom women quail
ed and hoped it would not be their hus-
bands Or lovers who would be so I'M
lucky 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 chal-
lengers ard the victors, as they were
very skillful with the small sword.
Sometimes, however, they made mis-
take, as when they ieered at an En-
glish officer over losing his leg at
Waterloo. The jeerer discovered that
the loss Of his leg did not interfere in
the least with the Englishmans aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An En-
glsh captain, challenged by French
man, had the choice Of weapons and
chose pistols. The Frenchman declar-
| ed he would fight with nothing but the
sword and interested friends finally
compromised Oh lances, ahorseback.
The combat naturally attracted much
attention. A great crowd witnessed
the duel. One man received three ugly
prods but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever be made 10
smile over the famous story of the En-
glishman and Frenchman who were to
fight duel in a pitch-dark room. Not
wishing to kill his man, the English
man fired 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 in France it is always the En-
glishman who is up the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful
in eighteen duels before it was discoy
cred that he always wore coat OF
mail. For years his fame in society
had rested on his invariable success as
a duelist, and this discovery was hi:
undoing. A certain major in fighting
him objected when his sword snapped
on heart-thrust and demanded an in
vestigation. He was afterward hang
ed in Ireland for numbering a neigh
Dor.
The most tragic duel in England wa
between Lord Byron, grand-uncle O
