cneek, which 10 rather unusual Two Of
the duels were stopped By the, sargeon. and
the otner three were fought to the limit.
Attne END OF the duels the men bowed and
snook hands, and we're led back into the
anteroom. The duel Of our hose was the
NTH, and although there was to have been
seven. !! left after seeing him, to my great
disappointment, receive q severe defeat
The services Of my medical friend had
been requested by three Of the previous
duelists. 90 I had several opportunities to
assist with the practical surgical work.
Needless to say. the surgical work was well
done. and was surprised at the care and
antfsepsis employed. This insures nearly
always primary union of the wounds.
The greatest number of cuts were on the
scalp and forehead and they heal very rap
idly. These wounds leave scars which dis
ngure the face for life, but they are
source OF great pride. Strange as Ia may
appear. the German girls show a decided
preference for a multi-scared face, so that
perhaps it is chivalrous instince which
tends to popularize the duel.
"One cannot help admiring the nerve of
these men, who stand without finching
while receiving severe punishment and
with blood streaming from numerous
wounds they fight on in the same manner,
and did not see man lose his temper or
il he did, show it in his manner Of fighting,
After the duel. when they are in the sur
geon's hands and away from the intoxica-
ton of the fight, with It's excitement and
spectators, they exhibit the same fortitude
Not one man showed any indication of pain
when we took the stitches in his face and
sewed up his cuts.
"The university has law prohibiting
duels. but it seems to be very dead, as no
effort is made to check or repress them
although the plasters and bandages which
so often adorn the faces of the students
must bring to the attention of the faculty
the frequency Of this forbidden sport"

Club Offers,
All reformers know the value

!: All reformers know. the value OF re-
form papers in our cause.
The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead
ing reform papers at the lowest cost.
Money spent for brass bands, torch
light professions and free railroad ex-
cursions may bring temporary gains.
Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes of the masses does re-
form work that is permanent.
We will send to one address, or to
different addresses as desired. for one
year. The Representative and either of
the papers here named. for the cash
price set opposite the name Of each.

The Hair Trade in London.

Five tons Of hair is required annually
by London dealers in that commodity. Most
of it comes from France and Italy, al
though there are consignments from all
over the world At Limoges there is an
annual hair market and peasant girls from
the country round dispose Of their locks
to the highest bidder. They do not wait
for their hair to grow very long before sell
ing it again. So the average price paid
a pound Is only about $3.50. The girls are
longing for the return of the chignon, as
prices were doubled during the reign of
that fashion. Converts do a pretty good
trade In hair, for the tresses Of a novice
are always cut off when she takes the VEIL
a single convent is reported to have sold
more than a ton of hair for about sc, 900.
An English girls hair brings a very high
price-about $40 being the average Hair
increases in price according to it's length

MINNEAPOLIS HIDE MARKET.

MINNEAPOLIS HIDE MARKET.
Nj. NEAPOLIS, April 5-Reported by the
Mcmillan Fur and Wool Co. Hides are de-
Ginning. Receipts are large because those having
hides are shipping them in before the upper
LEATHER combine is formed, fearing prices will
be lDwer. Some are holding in the country for
travelling agents, who are staying home. Hold
ers have already lost and may lose more il
they continue to hold II they had shipped
promptly they would have made out little loss.
Frozen hides should be shipped in promptly TO
save the expense and labor Of sailing. and they
will spoil If the weather turns suddenly warm.
Frozen hides are worth the same as green Dry
hides, which are used for sole leather. UNI
