An Extraordinary Duel.

One of the most remarkable duels
ever fought, perhaps, took place in
1903 between two Frenchmen. OF
course the quarrel arose about q
lady, certain Mile. Tirevet, who,
it appears, was unable to decide on
which of the two she preferred. She
finally found way out of the diff
Guilty by promising to marry which
ever of them worsted the other.
They thought over the matter in a
calm and judicial spirit for a month
and at the end decided to fight a
duel in the air. Accordingly two
balloons were made exactly alike,
and upon the appointed day each
scared aloft, accompanied by his
second.
They were each armed with a
blunderbuss, the agreement being
that they were to fire not at each
other, but at the balloons. They
arose to the height of half a mile.
and then the preconcerted signal
was given. One fired and missed.
The other followed suit with more
disastrous effect. He hit his oppo-
nent's balloon, which instantly col
lapsed, with the result that the oc-
cupants of the car were dashed TO
the earth with frightful rapidity
and instantly killed.

The Way an English ofseer WA
Saved From Death.

IAN English girl was engaged to
be married to a young American
who had been q student abroad"
says Rev. Minot ]. Savage in Aims
lees. s'They had met at Heidelberg.
He died suddenly after returning to
this country. She came over here
shortly afterward to visit his moth
er. While in New York she went to
a medium. There was no appoint
ment beforehand, and there was no
way by which the psychic could
know who she was. Taking her
turn, she sat down by the medium,
who went into trance and began
to speak Immediately the girls
lover claimed to be present. He
told her number of things which
only they two had ever known. He
recalled circumstances connected
with their acquaintance abroad.
"Now, it so happened that this
young lady's,father was an English
officer in the war In South africa.
Among other things which the
young man told was this: Il am glad
that / have been able to save your
fathers life once or twice during
the past summer
Nov comes the strange coinci-
dence, if coincidence only it be. The
father writes home from South At
RIGA, being entirely ignorant of all
that had taken place here, and re-
lates what seems to him somewhat
remarkable fact. He tells how he
was sitting in his tent one day when
there came upon him suddenly an
unaccountable impression that he
was in danger. 1t was as though some
one were trying to make him feel
this and induce him to move. So
strong was the feeling that he got
up and went over to the other side
of the tent. He had hardly done
this before shell struck the chair
where he had been sitting. Had he
remained there he would have been
instantly killed.
"Of course it is not asserted that
this is anything more than a coin
cidence, but the suggestion is made
that condolences Of this sort have
been SO very frequent as to make
one wonder as to whether there is
not some deeper meaning i'll it ALL"
