The Place of the Duel.

| Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers, in her
| Romance and Realism of the South
| ern Gulf Coast" gives an account OF
| one of the last challenges to a duel
| which occurred in Louisiana. The af-
fair was between NJ. Marigny. who be-
| longed to one of the oldest families OF
Louisiana, and n Mr.. Humble, n sturdy
| ex-blacksmith of Georgia, who had be-
| come Il man of political consequence.
| NJ. Marigny took offenSe at some re-
| marks of the Georgian and sent him a
| challenge. The big blacksmith was
nonplused.
Il know nothing about this dueling
| business" he said. Il will not fight
| him"
You must" said his friend. NO
gentleman can refuse"
Il am not a gentleman" replied the
| honest son of Georgia Il am only n
blacksmith
But you will be ruined If you do not
fight" urged his friends. You will
have the choice of weapons. and you
can choose so as TO give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary
The giant asked time in which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
cepting. He sent the following reply
| to NJ. Marigny:
Il accept. and in the exercise of my
privilege. l Stipulate that the duel shall
take place in Lake Pontchartrain, in
six feet of water, sledge hammers to
be used as weapons"
NJ. Marigny was about five feet, eight
inches in height, and his adversary
was seven feet. The conceit of the
Georgian so pleased NJ. Marigny, who
could appreciate joke as well as per-
petrate one, that he declared himself
satisfied, and the duel did not take

An old time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue jays have planted thou
sands of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have n
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their bcaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman n short
time ago when one of these birds flew
from n tree to the ground, stuck his
bill in the earth and quickly few away.
When told what had happened, the
eastern man was skeptical, but the two
vent to the spot and with a knife blade
dug out sound pine nut from depth
of about ~ inches. Thus it will be seen
that nature has plans of her own for
forest perpetuation.

The Register of the Voice.

The register of the voice is some
times COMPOUNDED with the range.
There are two registers to the voice,
whatever its quality. These are term
ed the register of the chest and the
register of the head.
The chest notes are given in full,
even tones and with the natural voice.
The tones may be either open or closed.
They are given from the chest and the
back of the nose.
Head tones come from the bridge of
the nose, and If unframed are apt to
develop an unpleasant shrillDess.
In trained voice it is impossible to
detect where the chest register ends

Despotism Versus Liberty.

Those acting for the state-thOse who
represent the public authOrity-dO they
claim an inherent right to rule? Dc
they exercise arbitrary power? If so
the government is imperial. Are they
merely the agents Of the people, using
only expressed and delegated POWERS
If so. the government is a democracy.
The former is the European idea, the
latter the American idea. Between
these two ideas there is an irrepressi-
Bile conflict. The germ of one is des-
potism, of the other liberty.
