Made Compulsory for Cuban Of1cers 10
Fight When Insulted.
HAVANA, Dec. 5.-The executive COM
mittee of the Cuban assembly agreed at
it's last session to make it compulsory
upon the part of any Cuban officers in
suited by Spanish, American or other
officers, to challenge the person SO in
sulting to fight a duel. The measure has
twoaims, according tothe Cubans. First,
"to maintain the dignity of the Cuban
army" and secondly to ''check the I'M
pudence and insolence Of many so.called
Cuban officers, who, without having
ever put their courage to a test, having
enlisted after the armistice, are swag-
gering about with Cuban uniforms, en-
deavoring to offend Spanish officers
It is learned on good authority that
the Cubans have recently secretly &C.
quired quite a formidable armament,
the Interior object ofwhich is unknown.
It is added that they have purchased
over 5000 rifles within the last 10 days
The fact is causing considerable specu'

A Discouragins Outlook.

A little east end girl is noted for her
sharp sayings, and they are really quito
remarkable when her tender age is con
sidered. She is just 6, but is as solemn at
times as a judge on tho bench. Not long
ago somebody to tease her asked her If she
ever expected to marry.
"Oh, yes," she answered, with her
prcmaturely grave air, "Ill marry fast
enough when tho right man comes along"
Then she added, with her saddest intona-
ton, "But I'm afraid tho right men will
all be dead by that time!''-Cleveland

SWELLINaS FROM CLOVIS.

Nature Causes Them to Appear to Pro-
tcct Spot from Further Injury.
The swelling which follows from n
blow is natures effect to protect the
part from further injury and to keep it
Mt rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood.
The injury TO the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow of blood
through them and the white corpusc.es,
with part Of the serum, the Watering
part of the blood, escapes i..to the sur
rounding tissues. At the same time the
blood vessels in the neighboi hood dilate
and the increased flow of blood with the
thoroughfare obstructed increases the
swelling. 1t is probable that the white
corpuscles Of the blood pass into the
tissues to assist in the repair, as bees
or ants assemble at On injury to their
storehouse, but with the difference that
the substance of the corpuscles is prob
nbly converted into the tissue of repair.
From one point of view the human BODY
is only one gigantic colony Of indi-
viduals, and the swelling that follows

to Spalding he was innocent. for on the first
acqrittal he WAS the most astOnishtd man IN

the verdict was rendered. The arrest Of the
