A Remarkable banquet Party

One Of the most notorious hungarian
duelists fought his thirty fifth duel in
1886 and celebrated the event by ban
ouet, to which only those who could
prove that they had participated in at
least six duels were invited. There
was a room full Of such warriors, some
with faces scanned with scars, others
minus an ear an eye or with two or
three fingers missing. The most marked
of all was q Frenchman who had lost
his nose in an encounter with Count
Andrassy, the statesman. There was
only one relaxation OF the rule, and that
was made in favor of lady who had
killed her man.

The Passing of the Noon Hour,

There Is no noon hour in the lower
part Of Manhattan said an old res
taurant man, who has supplied lunch
con for business men and clerks for
over a score of years. I'VE used to do
seven-elghths Of our business between
noon and l o'clock, but now the lunch
con hour extends from II 10 after J.
to after in the Wall street section. l
can remember well when in all offices
and business houses work ceased at
the stroke OF u and was resumed at l
O'Clock sharp. Now the noon hour Is
observed only in shops and factories.
In offices and commercial houses work
goes on continuously under the pres
ent day pressure Of business, and the
clerks and other employees go out Tor
luncheon in relays, beginning as early
as11 o'clock. and with this change has
come a shortening Of the luncheon hour
in most cases to three-quarters OF an
hour-sometime to half al hour. The
chiefs and employers as a rule eat late,
most Of them about o'clock, and down
in Wall street the brokers seldom get
luncheon until after the exchanges
close."-New York Times.

nat by sending an expert hremdli
along the line for the purpose OF
schooling the regular fireman IN tne
best methods of firing an engine Woulo
result in the consumption or less
coal. The experiment was MADE anu
since that time on every division OF
the road these experts have been at
work 1t is stated that the results
have been So satisfactory to the road
that from this time on. for an lnde1-
mite period, the company will keep
the experts out.
The regular firemen. as a rule, are
intelligent persons and have taken to
the scheme with a will. They have
listened to the instructions given
them b., the experts and on the large
lOcOmO ives of the company which
are Il, ed principally for hauling
freight, it is said, the saving already
has amounted to as much as . per
cent.
On the smaller engines IN the
freight service the result has been
equally good. although it is the large
engines which have been the coal
burners. With heavy loads it is SAID
that on the mountain divisions OF the
system. it has often been the case
that where an abundance Of coal was
not in the tender at the time OF start
ing. there has been a shortage at the
end of the run or before point was
reached where a fresh supply could
be had. 1t is the belief Of the Operat

and if this is the case. outside OF the

AS Yet the new plan has not been
