ruary 10, 1921.
A duel attended with dangerous con
sequences. took place on Friday even
ing last, at 9 o'clock in a field between
Chalk Farm tavern and Primrose hill
The parties in this unhappy conflict
were Mr.. John Scott the avowed
editor of the London Magazine and
Mr.. Christie, a friend of the supposed
conductor of the Blackwood's Maya
zine, Mr.. John Gibson Lockhart. of
Edinburgh. The original cause OF the
quarrel between these two gentlemen
we understand, had it's rise in series
of three articles which appeared in
The London Magazine. discussing the
conduct and management OF Black
woods Magazine, and regarded by
Mr.. Lockwood as offensive to his feel
ings and injurious to his honor.
Mr. Scott was attended by his
friend, Mr.. Patmore, and by Mr.. Pet
tigrew, medical gentleman Of Spring
Gardens. The moon shone with
brightness. SO that the party had a
full opportunity of seeing each other.
and, having taken their ground, they
fired together The result was fatal
to Mr.. Scott, who received his antag-
onist's ball in his groin and fell. Upon
inquiry at a late hour last night we
were happy to learn that favorable
symptoms had made their appearance
the ball had been extracted.-The

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN AGAIN.
The Mirage Sighted Upside Down and
Under Full Sail

The Flying Dutchman, upside down
and Swimming over an inverted sea,
was sighted recently, about forty miles
off Cape HatJeras, by the Morgan
liner Ell Alba, Captain Quick, inward
bound from New Orleans. For thirty
years Captain Quick. one of the best
known of coastwise shippers, has been
commanding vessels that ply between
this port and New Orleans.
"One morning" he says, when we
were off Hatteras about forty miles
heard Post, the first officer, call out
from the bridge. Sail two points off
the starboard bow Before the echo
of his words had died away saw him
take another look, and then. as
shade of the incredible flushed his
cheek, he added: And she's upside
down, too
Il had reached the bridge by this
time, and Post pointed to the north
ward and asked me if | saw any
strange looking craft
Indeed | do, and the old things
floating along upside down | whis-
pefeu. 4 got ready 10 take second
and better look at the phantom ship.

The captain says that he then took
look toward the shore, and was sur
prised to see the Cape Hatteras Light
house loom up in the distance. He
loked little to the north of the light
house, and was more surprised to see
the same lighthouse apparently sew
eral miles further up the shore-New

Matters of Moment From the
Far-off Northland
A LIBERAL PARTY.

A Convention at Stockholm Decides
to Organize One.
Sweden is finally TO have a liberal
party. At convention recently held
at Stockholm, at which all parts OF
the country were represented, it was
decided to organize q liberal party.
While the members of the riksdag
had been divided into numerous
groups, there has been no opposition
party in Sweden since 1772, condi-
ton of affairs which has naturally
created much;s comment, inasmuch as
Sweden, is one OF +. the most en-
Nghtened and progressive countries
In the world.
Naturally there have been many
Hksdag members with very liberal,
not to say radical, views. but there
who have voted in opposition to the
has been no party organization. such
as is generally recognized as such.
The present members of the riksdag
government are prominently iden-
titled with the new movement
The plan of organisation is pat
termed after that of the liberal party
in Great Britain and there will be a
national committee with branches in
every laen or district.
That the new party will be heartily
supported and will WELD a great IN
tluence from the start, seems certain.
There is no lack of linberal political
sentiment in Sweded. hut it's in
fluence from the start, seems certain.
There is no lack of liberal political
sentiment in Sweden, but its in
fiuence has not been as strongly felt
as it might be by reason of the
failure of concerted action which
lack OF organization has hitherto
prevented. Now that the machinery
for effective work has been supplied,
the world may hear of some active
as the extension of the elective
franchise to women and others will
Doubtless have a capable and de-
termined champion in the new party.
Though the relations between
Sweden and Norway are for the time
being most satisfactory, Norway will
be greatly interested in the new
party, as the most liberal men i'll the
brother kingdom have usually been
very friendly to Norway and disposed
to consider the Norwegians as a
sovereign people rather than de-
pendent on Sweden.

ed brow,
Lo. is it all worth while?
Looking to where the sun comes
through the door.
Or silver wash of moonlight foods the
floor.
Lo, is it all worth while?
All day the busy hen
Goes on her way the stubborn soil
along,
Picking the food that chance has scat
tered there.
All day the butterfly
Flutters in aimless purpose through
the grove,
Yet by one purpose held.
All day the patient OK
Piods to the creaking yoke;
And horses. dogs and geese.
Camels and fishes
Elephants and whales,
And all strange creatures moving
through the weird.
In cities, or in forest or in the air,
Or in the depths of never-sounded
seas,
Plod to their tasks as stubbornly as
trees.
And, bark we. in the caches Of the
earth
Are million springing seeds
In ceaseless ferment.
Old bones that change to blooms,
And toads and crawling worms,
Each with sufficient purpose;
And far above,
A ceaseless rush of worlds
Toiling through space,
Each his allotted pace;
No greater in the vast cosmogony
Than worm or toad or seed
Or we small men
We specks and notes diminutive,
Ir all this scheme and chaos of on,
worlds,
Who send anon the plaintive wall
thro' space
Whereto no answer ever has come
back
Lo, is it all worth while?
o thou of purpose ploIiing on thy
way.
Nc idle doubts shall ever mar thy
day:
Like stern volcanoes in the ancien,
hills
Making the mines for ages all unborn
Thyself shall labor like those Titan
mills,
Sleeping o. nights to labor on the
morn:
And though, stout in soul, thou cans
not see today
The end and purpose of thy work un
furled.
Yet still strive on, the ages show the
way
These patient workers make a better
world.

ALExANDRA'S PETS.
The Queen of England Has Kennels
That are Famous.

mat are Famous.
Queen Alexandra has a catholic
taste in pets, and her four-footed and
feathered pets at Sandringham range
all the way from Arab steeds to cen
famous and her dogs have won laurels
at many bench show.
They live as royal dogs should,
not in enervating ease and luxury but
according to the best precepts and
training that money can supply. To
be sure, Billy and Punchy do have silk
cushions in the royal dressing room
and are more or less coddled but they
are Japanese spaniels and too small
to be taken seriously.
Out in the Queen's kennels there
are all sorts and conditions of dogs,
many of them gifts; others bred at
Sandringham. The crowd is as cos
mopoitan as is table d'hote at a
foreign spa
Mr.. Budson has for many years had
entire charge of Queen Alexandria
pets but once or twice a week she
herself makes the rounds of the ken
nels. She puts On big white apron,
takes baskets ofbread, and begins her
visit
Pandemonium is turned loose for
every dog in the kennels adores her
and bursts into enthusiastic welcomes
at he sound of her voice. The most
stubborn and unmanageable of the big
dogs obeys her slightest word, and she
hasn't an idea of what the word fear
means. in connection with dogs.
Each kennel has an inner room sup
piled with an iron bedstead and straw
mattress. Adjoining this room is an
open room. furnished with fresh
straw and water
Every sanitary precaution is taken
The kennels are built round a central
yard and behind them are liberal
grass runs. A kennel kitchen, where
meals for the dogs are boiled in huge
copper pots, and larder filed with
oatmeal, biscuits and other supplies
adioins the kennels.
There is big bathouse, too, and at
stated intervals each dog is vigorous
ly tubbed. Meal hours are absolutely
regular The big dogs have one meal
a day, the little dogs two meals and
each dog is exercised as religiously as
a prizefighter in training
Two hours is the allotted time for
exercice and the hounds start the ball
rolling at 6 o'clock in the morning.
The bassetts have their turn next, and
so it goes, until late in the day, the
small dogs are punched under the
head of miscellanies and taken out to-
gether.
There is a dog hospital in the ken
nels, a delightfully."- sunny place fitted
out with invalid comforts and, dis
creetly retired, 50 that II may not
danpen the spirits OF the living. q

Tea Gown Materials.

The thin. gauzy effect In tea
gowns are immensely becoming and
effective, but are, of course, far the
most perishable and while the first
cost may be the same it is in the
difference of the wear that the heavy
material is the most economical and
in these days of extravaganza it is
annoying to have gown look shabby
after only a few times of wearing.
