Hard Heads.

A duel among native Australians
affords a droll study of physical endur-
ance and natural courtesy. The affaire
q honneur is conducted on orthodox
lines. Seconds are chosen and the
place of meeting arranged, each party
assuring the other that the remem-
brance of the insult or the casus beiii
can only be removed with Il waddy
stick. casually mentioning at the same
time the design and weight of his own
weapon.
The duel then proceeds somewhat
on these lines: The aggrieved one
bends forward. hands on knees, and
invites his opponent to test the sound
ness of his clab on his (the challenger's)
head poliJeneSs does not demand that
the Vigor of the blow be modified by
regrets or remorse. much less such
reply As, Not At all. sir; after YOU"
The descent of the club is remindful
of the conundrum, should an irreSiSti-
bic force come in contact with an i'm
movable mass. what is the resuIt?' In
this case Il little local warmth is gener-
ated. 1t is now the other fellows
turn. and the game proceeds as before,
varied by Inutual requests to hit Il
little harder. Either combatant leaves
the field without stain on his char
acter and tasting the quintessence of
satisfied honor should his opponents
club be broken over his head.
