From the indianapolis Sun.-After
the duel had been fought the principals
repaired to a cafe and ordered lunch.
Not exactly gourmands. but hearty
eaters were they. which cause an Am
erican who had gone to the exposition
and had not yet earned sufficient CAPT
tai for the return voyage. to remark
that it takes more to satisfy a French
mans appetite than it does his honor.
No sooner had the words left his lips
than Count de Boozleane struck him in
the face with his open palm. But 10!
Instead of challenging the count and
wiping ont the insult in mortal COM
bat. the American simply smashed him
between the eyes, caught him with a
right hand hook as he was going down
and then stepped on his face with his
bulldog shoes. all the time asking the
count If his honor was satisfied. The
count finally admitted hat it was.
Moral: That's why we have no duel
ing in the land of the free.

How to Travel in Comfort,

Wash the face as seldom rs posi-
BILE when travelling, as the dust and ali
render the skin very harsh if it is con.
stantly damped.
The best way to remove any dust
is to dip a rag in elder flower water
Chat most innocent and refreshing Of
toilet waters) and use that only. When
the journeys end is reached, rub the
face all over with a thin cold cream,
and leave on until you make your ap.
pearance among your friends, whcL
wipe off with a soft towel; then use a
vaporizer Tor sponge with warm wa
teri, and finish by LAYING we'll with
cold water to close the pores and give
firmness to the skin. If powder is used
in travelling, it should be put on only to
dust it off again. To keep it on makes
the skin dry and harsh. At night rub
on a very little cold cream when re-
firing as the close air and electric
light are very injurious to the complex
ion, especially in hot weather. For a
powder nothing is better than powder
ed magnesia-it is harmless and cool
mg-but it should not be left on long.
There is nothing, however. that re-
freshes one so much as washing ones
hands with a good soap and water, but
one should never use the soap provid.
ed for the public use, as there Is great
danger OF catching infectious diseases
-or Mt least, annoying skin troubles
in this way. A little rubber sponge
bag, with soap and sponge and a small
clean towel, does not take up much
room, and is so very satisfactory that
few are to travel without it.
AS a last suggestion, be very careful,
above all things, to travel by ONE rail-
road that has a rock ballast roadbed,
preventing dust, and n that is sup
piled with all the latest modern con-
veniences and safety appliances, such
a., for instance. the Chicago, Milwau-
kee Z st. Paul railway between Oma-
ha and Chicago, whose electric lighted,
steam heated, %vestibuled trains Of Pull.
man palace cars, gives one the best
service possible to obtain.

miscellaneous nool,s.

Under Topsls and Tents" by Cyrus
Townsend Brady, is a book mainly taken
up with the personal experiences of the
author at Annapolis and in the position
Of chaplain of a regiment Of Pennsylvania
volunteers during the war with Spain. To
some people II may seem that the autobio-
graphical element is n little too pro-
nounced for real literary excellence, but
others may like it all the better for that.
1t is difficult to see why Mr.. Rrady's OK
periences in the railroad business, as a
deacon of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and as missionary in the West,
are of enough Importance TO warrant their
circumstantial Introduction in a note in
the front of the book.
However there is much that is inter
esting in the volume. which is not very

The Intrepid Bee.

There lived a Bee-who. though quite small,
Was not a busy bee at ALL
No aim in life-no cares had he;
This bee had naught to do but be.
One day by chance he overheard
passing strangers passing word;
Deeply and long he pondered on it
Twas of a bee in some ones bonnet.
"A bonnet.' thought the bumptious bee;
THAT would be just the place for me.
What residence is so correct
For one exclusive and select?'
Now it fell out that very day
Miss Amorilla came that way.
Wearing Gas you no doubt foFSee)
A rose-decked bonnet. Then the bee
Exclaimed: ''Hurrahl Nv luck is great.
How all things come TO those who watt"
And with sudden cry. Here goes!'
He plunged into the reddeSt rose!
It's honey he essayed to suck.
But found instead that he stuck
And from a snarl Of cottonwood
In vain his legs he tried to pull.
Within his mouth such taste
Aniline dive and glue and paste
While wires and stffencd muslin things
Scratched his poor eyes and tore his wings.
But though in dire and luckless plight.
He kicked and pushed with all his might, i.
And somehow managed TO get free.
4 sadder and wiser bee.
The Moral. pointed like the bees own sting.
Adorns the tale and should this lesson bring:
4 li.tle learning is 4 dangerous thing.
