 Dodo, quagga. great aux and sea-cow are names round which Professor Ray Lankester wove a story as interesting ss that of the goliwogg in the first of six lectures to juveniles which he delivered in the theatre of the Royal Institution. London.
 Extinct Animals was the title of the subject, says The Westminster Gazette, in the course of his remarks on which the director of the Natural History Depart ment of the British Museum said: The whole art of education consists in eXcit- ing a desire to know The animals about which he was going to speak had ceased to exist not only as individIals but as kinds of animals. His own interest in them had been excited when a boy, by visits to the British Museum with his governess; and he hoped the boys and girls present would remember that these lectures were little more than an invita- ton to them to go and see the real things at the Natural History Museum He could not find time to mention even the names of all the extinct animals that were known, but hoped what he said would induce them to pry further into | the matter.

 Jackson, Jan. N.-(Special )-The people of Jackson have been in a state of in- tense excitement for the last three days The American Carnival Company had advertised extensively that it would hold a street fair in Jackson this week. The advance agent of the company had been here. pasted up bills. distributed circulars, advertised in the paper, secured spot of ground and obtained promise of li- cense. But the company unfurled it's tents at Thomasville last week and some of Jackson's citizens got a glimpse of 1t in that town and pronounced it most in- decent.
 The citizens of Jackson were notified os what was about to befall them and they set to work. A telegram was sent to the managers that they would not be permit ted to show in this town, but they replied that they were billed for this place. had secured grounds, had the promise of li- cense and that they were coming.
 Monday morning the street fair per- formers came, about 100 strong. Better citizens of the town were determined that they should not pitch their tents here. The company, being forbidden to go upon the piece of ground first secured, secured another spot and engaged wagons to haul the baggage. The managers were notified that they would be req1red to pay H. cense for every show, entertainment. or performance of whatever kind that they would be required to pay license for every stand from which they sold goods of any description, and for every device used for profit to the owner, and that Fsery gambler would be arrested, just as soon as he sprung his game upon the public.
 For three days these people persisted and insisted on holding a fair here for the entire week. but the good people said no. and it was clear that they meant what they said. So the tents were folded and new pastures were sought.

DUEL HAS FIRM FooTHoLo.
German Students Cling to the Code as One of Their Inalienable
 Rights.


 Illustrated Sporting News. n every German university there is still sauelling. and there will be as long as xSerman universities exist. Each has lts uuota of fighting clubs, which correspond fo our own secret societies. Every student is anxious to be invited to join one of these clubs, and, having been in- itiated, it is not long before he is assign ed to a duel. The members of these vari- ous organizations are distinguished by their colored bands and caps, as our ira fernity men are by their Greek latter hadges, The most aristocratic of the fighting corps are the Borussia, at Bonn, 70 whic hall the Hohenzollern princes be- long. and the Saxo-Borussia, at Heidel- berg, of which most of the German princes. outside of the Hohenzollerns. are members Other prominent fighting corps are the Rhenania of the Universi- ty of wurzburg, Normania of Berlin, Franconia of Munich and the famous corps of Hanovera, in which Bismarck was a famous fighter of Gollinque. Every club has its own officers, its own laws, rules. regulations, but all are bound by a, universal code of honor."
 ,JThe customs and ceremonials incident to these students duel are queer and pecu- iiarly fascinating. the costumes and fight ing attire unique and interesting. The duels are of two kinds---the one an .''honor duel,'' where one student has insulted another, and honor has to be satisfied by a little blood-letting, but these are often not infrequently the result of purpose rather than of actual insult, just for the sake of little fighting. The German student, like Pat. is often 'spoiling for a fight" The other kind of duel is gen. orally a more serious matter and is known as ''by agreement" It is by a challenge from one corps to another and partakes of the tournament order. A list of dates Is drawn up and on certain day of each week a member of the one corps meets a member of the other for "die mensur."
