AT last ! began to weary Of this. and
on rejecting that there were three
ways out of the garden, one by the

third at the Tour de Bois, I came to the
conclusion that If there was q spy

the sward. determined to follow the
course he took. AS he touched ground
the little beast gave a chuckle and
scampered across the grasa In the dire0
ton Of the river. In brief. 1t was the
river bank near the Tour de. Bots that
the oracle pointed at, and followed
Pompon across the hedge. and we went
noiselessly through tangled maze OF
brush and shrub and tree until we
came to the old city wall that ended
here on the river face. No sooner had
we reached 1t than Pompon swarmed
up the wall. With the aid OF friend

and, stretching myself on the fat sur
face. with the ape curled up close be-
side me, waited and watched.
The day was perfect, and basked
like q. lizard In the warm sunshine, lis

the CHEEKY whistle Of blackcap from
thorn bush not bowshot from me.
But my eyes were not idle. had

watched like hawk from cliff. But
nothing came in sight except the slow
procession Of boats passing up and

opposite bank, like SO many ants hur-

despair and was laughing to myself at
my oracle when little skiff that had
been hugging the shore on my side stole
quietly up and grounded softly on the
bank just beneath me. There was only
one man within, but saw ut n glance
he was not regular boatman of our
river He was too tall and dark and
had foreign air about him. With the
aid of towline he fastened the boat
to heavy stone, and then, throwing
his coat on his arm-for he was in his
shirtsleeves-he stepped up the bank
and sat contentedly down beneath the
yew tree.
"Oho!" muttered to myself. 'The
oracle is working" Craning over, I
took another look at my man, but I
could see little except his shoulders and
the top of his head. Els coat, however,
was on the grass beside him, and on its
breast were embroidered the arms of

The Philosophy Of
a Parlor Match.

We buy package of parlor matches
for five cents. In the package are
twelve little pasteboard boxes neatly
made and labeled, each containg sixty
of these matches; each match perfect
bit of pine or cedar, with its wondrous
potent tip of mystic chemicals, capable
of firing forest city. Seven hundred
and twenty of these potential torches
for five cent piece; one hundred and
forty-four of these for penny!
Think of this, o! pessimist, and cease
thy blatant outcry against our civiliza-
tion. Here is match for all thy argu-
ments! Think of the primitive man
and his bit of flint; think of the sacred
fire produced by toilsome rubbing of
dry sticks together; and then tell me,
if you dare, that progress and poverty
60 hand in hand; that science has but
made the poor man poorer, the rich
man richer!

Duelists who Did Not kin.


The two most famous .duelists who
never killed their men known to his:
tory are the Chevalier de Saint Georges,
m1latto,, who was reputed to be the
finest fencer IN France, and in more
recent time NJ. Georges de Labruyere,
who constituted himself the champion
Of Nine Seberine. editress Of the Girls
adu Peuple. Both these champions Of
. the sword fought scores OF duels in
+, which severe wounds were given and
taken, but both were humane and chfv-
alrous and never took life. as their skill
would have enabled them to do.
In bis duel with Lieutenant de Nell.
vile M. Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
.afterward pierced his opponents Jeff
lung. Both had to be carried of the
field, but they ultimately recovered. In.
this CONNECTION 1t may be- noted that
the ridicule In which certain English
papers indulge in with regard to French
and Italian dueling is generally quite
beside the point. Every duelist takes
his life In his hand, and can practically
kill his adversary when he chooses, but
II the stroke Is not made according to
the laws Of fence he is certain to be
killed himself in doing it. This is why
the drawing of blood is considered to-
be satisfaction for injured honor.

Remarkable Memor1ea,

Memory" said old Fuller, the au-
thor Of the WORTHLESS" who himself
possessed a wonderful power Of remi-
niscence, lis the .storehouse of the
mind, wherein the treasures thereof
are kept and preserved" 1t is unques-
tionably true that as a rule great writ
ers have had memories of more than
ordinary tenacity and range. The fac
ulty of Renaissance feeds the fires Of
the Imagination and keeps lucid and
orderly the sequence of. philosophic
thought. How much Milton, for. exam
pie, profted by his prehensile and
trustworthy memory is. evident. Not
only such poems as "Lycidas," but
Paradise Lost" and Paradise Re-
gained" are studded with transactions
or paraptirases Of exquisite extracts
from the classic poets.
We are told that Pascal never forgot
anything he had seen, heard or
thought. Ayicenna could repeat by rote
the entire Koran when he was 10 years
old, and Francis Suarez had the whole
of st. Augustine in his memory. In
three weeks Scaliger, the famous schol-
ar, committed to memory every line;of
the "Iliad' and the odyssey" Anoth-
er scholar, Justus Lipsius, offered to
repeat the Histories" of Tacitus with
out mistake on forfeit of his life.

days so'famous for generous hospitals

assembled at dinner in a beautiful
country homestead. Across the table

guests began to vie with one another
in proposing conundrums
Mr.. Alexander Ell. Stephens offered
one which puzzled the whole company,
What is it that we eat at breakfast
and drink at dinner?"
For some time no answer came, and
the bright eyes Of the southern orator
began to sparkle with triumph, when
