The two most famous duelists who
never killed their men known to his
tory are the Chevalier de Saint Georges,
a mulatto, 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
du Peuple. Both these champions of
the sword fought scores of duels in
which severe wounds were given and
taken. but both were humane and chiv-
alrous and never took life. as their skill
would have enabled them to do.
In his duel with Lieutenant de Nell
vile NJ. Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
afterward pierced his opponents left
lung. Both had to be carried of the
field. but they ultimately recovered. In
this connection it 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

Daily Tasks Performed In Keeping
the Lamps Bright.
The duties Of the lighthouse keeper
are many and important. The top of
the tower Is usually tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern Is In the
center Of the room. 1t Is great prism
Of glass, In shape like a beehive. The
lamp is set into this, and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
Of the lamp and make 1t a great beacon
seen far off over the waters. Should
the luminant be a dashlight, there Is
machinery to be wound up every few
hours to cause 1t to rev0lve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower. takes down the curtains
sets the lamp inside the lantern. At
midnight the lamp is changed. A fresh
ly filled one Is put In the place Of the
first lighted one.
When storms are raging or fogs pre-
vailing, the keeper stays awake to
wind the machinery that keeps the fog
signal booming over the water. Many

light keepers in devoted vigil Of the
aids to navigation. At the gray Of
dawn the keeper Is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be
fore the red rim of the sun appears the
lamp is extinguished. the fine prismatic
lenses are covered. and the huge panes
of glass that form the walls Of the
room are curtained. The large lamp is
carried down the flights Of an almost
perpendicular ladder and when filed,
trimmed and cleaned is ready for the
sunset hour. The work of the keeper Is
not concluded with this feat. The most
perplexing portion of the daily routine
is now to be performed.
The light keeper must give an ac-
count Of his stewardship. A record Is
kept Of every gill, pint. quart and gal
Ion Of oil that is nightly consumed by
the lamps. the fractional parts Of inch
es Of wick burned. the lamp chimneys
broken and the general consumption of
all supplies furnished yearly in large
quantities by the government-Wom-
