DuelinR I'm Switzerland.

The duel, though prohibited by law,
still exists in Switzerlan nd, but the
practice is confined to the students in
the Swiss German universities. Even
these fire-eaters' are beginning to real
ize the absurdity of the practice, for
a meeting was held at Zurich lately
at which student delegates from all
parts were present, to discuss the duel
and courts of honor. A proposition by
the president to abolish the duel alto
gether was rejected by large major
ity. The consequence was that large
number of duels which were previous
ly arranged and whose principles were
awaiting the result of the vote took
place at Bremgnrtep, near Rerne.
Many students received severe rapier
cuts, chiefly in the face. but nobody
was seriously wounded. The police.
though they know the practice exists,
and are often aware of the "affair,"
seldom interfere. for they look upon
the duel, as praeticed by the students,
as sporting and harmless matter.
tits certain that nobody has ever been
seriously hurt in these affairs of hon.

The oldest code of laws in the world was re-
Gently discovered by French archsoIogists in Susa
the ancient capital of Persia. There are 282 of
them, short sweet and decidedly to the point framed
by King Hammurabi of Babylon about 1890 years
before Christ Engraved on a block of stone, they
have withstood the action Of the elements to be
deciphered, translated and commented upon by
French and German savants in the twentieth century
A. d. The code received direct by Hammurabi
from the sun god. The king explains this. Many
of them differ but little from the English laws of
two centuries ago and which are in force today
Mercy is conspicuous by its absence, as is to be
expected in code emanating from such primitive
civilization. But then, even today one can find
traces of the "eye for eye and tooth for TOOTH
doctrine if one but looks for it.
Among the first provisions of the code is one
calculated to uphold the probity of the bench. It
says:
eff Judge has charge of a trial and passes a
Judgment and this Judgment has been put into work.
ing and if afterward it turns out that this Judgment
has boon false and the Judge is then convicted Of
having given false decision then he shall return
the fine he has inflicted twelvefold and he shall
be deprived of his Office Judge and shall never
return to this Office"
Another discourages housekeeping in the fol-
lowing manner:
eff anybody breaks hole into house he shall
be killed in front of this hole and shall be burned
there"
Here are some other selections from the code,
which, while they written some five hundred
years before the time of Noses prove that the Jews
not alone in their outspoken desire for VEN
geance:
eff son strike his own father his hands shall be
hewn off.
eff anybody strikes out the eye Of another his
own eye shall be forfeited.
eff anybody breaks the bone of another, his bone,
too, shall be broken
eff anybody destroys the teeth of his equal his
teeth too, shall be broken.

The anthracite coal strike commission is bring
ing to light many facts which must puzzle the
average reader, unacquainted with the conditions
that prevail in the anthracite region and the hetero-
geneous mass which constitutes the miners union.
The operators and the attorneys for the non union
making strenuous efforts to prove that a
reign of terror existed during the late strike and
their efforts are being ably seconded by certain
newspaper and magazine writer's. But they seem to
be damaging their own case. Charles III. Schadt of
Scranton, sheriff of Lackawanna county, testified
before the commission that he appealed to Mr..
Mitchell to assist in keeping the peace; that the
miners president promised to do So and in several
instances was of material help to the sheriff. The
Lackawanna county sheriff admitted that the forty
or fifty deputies employed by him were paid by the
coal companies.
Mr. Schadt also admitted that the state of law
lessness not general but restricted to certain
localities. He further admitted that, as rule
crowds dispersed when he ordered them to do So
and that striking miners whom he knew obeyed his

SOME enterprising Berlin people have managed
to get good deal of free advertising of late by eat
ing meal of horse meat. The banquet, SO called,
given under the auspices of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals which hoped
thereby to attain the double purpose of educating
the public to appreciation of horse flesh as a
Wand and also to create market for old and broken
down horses.
It is questionable if the desired end will be
readily achieved. No one objects to eating horse
meat sanitary grounds for the horse is certainly
no more repulsve than the moose, elk steer; but
there is sentiment attached to the noble quadruped
that would make picking his bones cannibaism
to most people. Dogs and horses almost like mem
bers of the family when comes to making food them
And tho you eat relative necessity drives still
you don't banker after the experience. However,
horse flesh may become popular dish both in
Germany and America. Parisians eat horses, but
they also go in strong for CATS that doesn't count
In order to attain its object the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will have to
educate the public to the point where man can
consider horse eating seriously without feeling like
an migrate and an inhuman monster. This will take
time.

In the Christmas Century DR.. S.
Weir Mitchell has an article on
"Heroism in Everyday Life" The
doctor draws a comparison of pres
ent day altruism with that of the
seventeenth century, not of the
sacrifices involved in any form Of
charity, in giving money, but
simply deals with self-risking
heroism. He engaged one of the
clipping agencies to send him for
a year the reports of perilous self
devotion to be found in American
daily papers and from this in
complete source 1853 instances.
were recorded in ten months.
From comparisons, facts and
figures gathered by DR.. Mitchell,
it is evident that the tendency Of
the times is marked improvement
in the humanitarian attitude of
man to his fellows and even to-
animals. Tho we sometimes think
the world is filled with hard
heartedness and selfshness, there
are many instances every day
in the year in which man
plunges into danger to save a
fellow being, and it seems that acts
of heroism and other forms Of I
assistance prompted by kindly
feelings toward others are con-
stantly increasing.

Some Of the non union miners testified that
they had been threatened and beaten by strikers.
While this, no doubt, is true, yet when consider
the makeup Of the 100000 and more strikers the
wonder is not that there some lawlessness, but
that there was so little Of it. The anthracite coal
miners represent all the nations of Europe and some
of the nations of Asia A vast number of them have
but little knowledge of the English language, and
thousands unable to understand more of it than

that they mo good;' that they are his natural
enemies, and as such, not fit to live. It needs no

clash there will be fight
The same may be said of other nationalities.
The italian hates the Austrian; the German Austrian
looks with dsdan upon the Slavonian-A Austrian; the
Herzegovnan loves not the Bohemian; the Bohe-
milan scowls when he sees Wallachian or a Croat;
the Bosnian and the Steyermarcker not friends;
and the Germans, the WEIGH and the Irish dis
liked by all the others. Great must have been the
misery which cemented together these warning fac
tions! Great must have been the tact and ability of
John Mitchell to control this heterogeneous mass,
antagonistic in its parts, and which from the very
nature of it's components must have strongly resisted
integration
To hold in check the jealousies, the prejudices
and the hatred of 100000 men, representing more
than twenty nationalties, requires genius of the
highest order. Taking into consideration all the
difficulties Mr.. Mitchell and his lieutenants had to
contend WITH it must be admitted that the task
performed by them was truly Herculean, and they
deserve the unstnted praise Of all lovers of law and
order for conducting of the greatest strikes on
record and under peculiarly difficult circumstances,
in such an able and peaceful manner and with SO
little attendant lawlessness and bloodshed

JOSIAH Flynt Willard, whose writings under the
name of Josiah Flynt" are familiar to most news
paper and magazine readers, is said to be of the
private detectives in the employ of the New York
district attorney. Mr.. Willard, the papers say,
was the one to get the most important evidence
against the notorious Garfield and his associates.
This is interesting The general impression
has been that Mr. Willard sought the under
world" as Professor Wyckof sought the world of
unskilled labor, in order to study it from sociolog
ical point Of view, and not with the Interior motive
Of turning his observations to pecuniary advantage.
His articles on the powers that prey always
extremely interesting even if they are sometimes on
the borderand of the nconceivable and when he has
passed through this experience he will probably
have much more Of interest to impart. If Mr.. Will
lard is to be taken at his valuation, he, has a
wonderful knack of getting strangers to confde in
him. This being true he should make an admirable
private detective.
