A DUEL AND A JOKE.
Count Boni de CastelIane's First A

Count BOni de Castellane's First At
fair Upon the Field of Honor.
Count Boni de Castellane's first duel
was when he had just come from school.
Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and
handle a sword, but he was still very
young, very bashful, rather green. AT
the club to which he had just been adj
mitted some of the men, whom life
made cynical, began to guy him. 1t
was easy to stir up his anger, for they
chartered scandal about a woman be
knew. He pulled over the table and
struck one of the men. The next day
he received challenge. In good faith
he selected two good clubmen as his
seconds. In all this the club fellows
saw only a joke, and when the ar
rangements were hurried and the two
opponents stood face to face in a mead
ow near the Seine the pistols were
loaded-with blackened bread crumbs.
zone, two, three!" They fired to-
gether. The clubman gave great cry
and fell to the ground groaning.
"Hes fatally wounded-dying!" the
seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh
ter.
De Castellane felt the heart in him
run away like water. He had killed a
man. 1t was not possible!
"Dead?" he asked anxiously.
"Yes," said the corpse and sat up
grinning.
Tho soboo1hou Jooked of the laughing
clubmen and saw the joke they had
played on him. He stopped and caught
the corpse by the ankle, dragged it q
bit and with a sudden jerk tossed II
ten feet into the river.
"Then I'll bury it," said he.
AS the clubman crawled from the
river, dripping mud and water, they de.
cided the joke was on Enthusiastically

ANTHONY TROLLoPE.
Hiseries and IrritatiOns Incident
Upon His Start In Life.

Hiseries and IrritatiOns Incident
Upon His Start In Life.
Anthony Trollopes start in life was
unpromising. AS he knew no Ian
guages, ancient or modern, he became
classical usher at school in Brussels
with the promise Of a commission in
the Austrian army. Then he was sud
denly transferred to a clerkship in the
London postoffice. He was disqualified
for the new position by general igno-
rance and special incapacity for the
simplest arithmetic. A vague threat
that he must pass an examination was
forgotten before it was put into execu-
ton, and Trollope Enthusiastically
takes occasion to denounce the system
of competitive examination by which
he would have been excluded. Mean
while he was turned loose in London
and attempted to live like a gentleman
on EGO a year. The results are indicat-
ed by couple of anecdotes.
A money lender once advanced him
"a, for which, first and last, he paid
f200. This person, he says, became so
much attached to him as to pay daily
visit to his office and eXhort him to be
punctual. "These visits were very ter
rible and can hardly have been of serv-
ice to me in the office" This mild re-
mark applies also to the visits from the
mother Of a young woman in the coun-
try who had fallen in love with him
and to whom he lacked the pluck to
give a decided negative" The mother
used to appear with a basket on her
arm and an immense bonnet upon her
head and inquire in a loud voice be-
fore all his companions, Anthony
Trollope, when are you going to marry
my daughterY
No wonder that he was miserable.
He was hopelessly in debt and often
unable to pay for a dinner He hated
his work, he says, and he hated his
idleness; he quarreled with his supe
riors, who thought him hopelessly in
capable and felt that he was sinking
''to the lowest pits" At last he heard
of a place in the Irish postoffice which
everybody despised and was successful
on applying for it, because his masters
were glad to get rid of him. At the
same time they informed his new supe-
rior that he would probably have to be
dismissed on the first opportunity

Proper Feeding of sows.

The most critical time in the feeding
of sows is the first two weeks after
narrowing, says an Ohio grower in
Breeders Gazette. A single overfeed
of corn at this time may produce milk
fever, which will destroy the appetite
of the mother and make a runty litter
of pigs The rule should be to give the
sows for the first four or five days only
moderate feed of good slop made with
bran or mashed potatoes if milk can
not be had, but If 1t can there is moth
ing better than bran and milk. Then
begin with single ear of corn at a
feed. Watch your sow and Increase
gradually, giving her two or three ears
at feed, until finally she develops a
hearty appetite and her pigs have start
ed to grow thriftily, when the feed
should be all that she will eat.

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.

One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
~ made of bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
scented Phebus, the national deity Of
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil Of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS B. G..
The popular belief is that it stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes, that it
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates,
afterward Joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into it's head, and in a great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for siXty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. D. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to a Hebrew dealer The
original cost was 300 talents-say, &c.
0O0,000-and it is not too much to say
that a similar image might be con-
structed now in one-fourth of the time
and at one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues of the sun.

In the whole catalogue of "chemi-

prices of which are quoted every week
by trade journals, perhaps no name is
more puzzling to the uninitiated than
'infusorial earth" Still, if one knows
much about dynamite he is aware that
this is the stuff employed as an alb
sorbent to hold the nitroglycerin of
that famous explosive. 1t was Nobel,
the great Swedish engineer, who
founded a number of attractive prizes
to encourage scientific progress, who
first discovered the trick by which
nitroglycerin could be safely handled.
Infusorial earth is composed of the
silicious shells of minute vegetable
organisms, diatoms which reveal won

Harmless Cattle.

That cattle without horns are great
Improvement over cattle with horns Is
now a well settled fact, says Farm and
Ranch. For this reason, everything
else being equal, natural born mulleys
will, in future, be in great favor.
Everybody can't, at least for the pres
emf, have mulleys, but those who desire
1t and begin in time can have hornless
cattle. Those who are prepared to
feed and properly care for their cattle
in winter should by all means dehorn
them. Hornless cattle feed better, are
more docile. Losing their horns seems
to change the habits of the animal 1t
pays to remove the horns and it pays
still better to breed hornless cattle.
