Padded For the Eight.
My friend had vanished into the dress.
ing room, and vt first glance I entirely
failed to recognize him In the padded
monster that now staggered ciumsily into
the room, supported or each side by his
second and sword bearer. The thick armor
Of leather and wadding with which he was
bolstered entirely protected his body ard
limbs. His neck was rigidly incased in a
high, thick collar Of silk and whipcord,
and his eyes were protected by Iron Cog
giles as large as small teacups, from which
q strap passed round the ears to be buokled
at the back Of the head. His second was
somewhat similarly equipped, and In ad-
dition wore q leather cap with a strong
iron peak. The other principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one swords length from Zimmerman.
He was closely followed by the umpire or
unparteiischer. This parsonage was q
chronic medical student Of ten years
standina-a mass of genial rotundity,
with a fat, smorphous face in which fea-
lures seemed q su%perfuity. He was duly
qualified for his responsible position by
an unlimited capacity for beer and the
glorious fact that he had never passed an
examination. Entbroned on an armchair
@ little in front of the other spectators, he
divided his time pretty equally between q
huge mug of Munchener and a long pipe
Of which the painted china bowl rested on
the ground. he now proclaimed "Silen-
tiuml' and proceeded to the
duel. It was to last for 20 minutes, ex-
Guiding all pauses, and as usual to consist
Of short bouts or "gangs," with brief In.
taryals Of rest between each. The swords
long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra-
sors and flexible as riding switohes-were
carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion
and handed to the combatants. The SEQ
onds took up their position behind and to
the left Of their respective men, and gave
the word Of command in the following ira
ditionsl form: y.
"Auf die Mensur bindet die Klingsnl"
(Cross blades for the duelD
"Gebunden sindl" Crossed they areD
"Losl" GOD
The swords clash together In the pre-
Aminary stroke. Then ensues a brief hall
storm of blows 80 rapid that the eye refuses
30 follow them and retains only q confused
impression Of flashing steel and flying
sparks. The head of each combatant seems
to be enyeloped In a halo Of cleaning
polnts. 1t is impossible to realize thsf
each of these lightning strokes Is deliber.
ately and scientifically aimed and as de-
liberately and scientifically parried.-Pau

Ntoe For Nervous People.

A party Of Cambridge professors on one
occasion undertook, for a scientific object,
to penetrate into the depths of a Cornish
mine. -
One of the number relates the following
startling incident Of his visit: On bis
ascent In the ordinary manner, by means
of a bucket and with q miner for a fellow
passenger, be perceived, as he thought, un-
mistakable symptoms Of the frailty Of the
rope.
"How often do you change your ropes,
my good mani" he inquired when about
half way from the bottom of the awful
abyss.
1--WE change them every three months,
sir" replied the man in the bucket, land
we shall change this one tomorrow II we
