The scheme Senator Lamar Worked
to Prevent an Encounter.
: During the course of heated debate
sharp words were exchanged between
a congressman from New York and one
from Mississippi. A challenge was de-
liyered and accepted, and as both were
courageous and determined a bloody
meeting seemed Imminent. Friends in
terposed, but in vain. Both men were
resolute, and neither would yield to the
suggestion OF an amicable arrange
ment. AS u last resort Senator Lamar
was called in to save the situation. He
realized that no ordinary methods
would serve his purpose, and SO re-
sorted to strategy. The principals in
the proposed duel are still living, so
will call the New Yorker Jones and the
Mississippian Smith. ~ go.
Senator Lamar called on the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said: A.,
Zones, I've come 1,ae to do you q
friendly turn. know that you and
Smith are determined to fight and that
nothing will stop you. have not come
as a mediator, but simply to mitigate,
If possible. the horrors of fatal end,
SO far as you are concerned. As to
Smith, have no fears. He is a dead
shot and can take care of himself, but
he is not an unfeeling man, and is in
chned to respect any partially you
may have in favor of any particular
part of your anatomy. Some men en-
terrain mortal dread Of being dis
figured after death, and IL the choice
were left them would prefer not to be
wounded in the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, If there is any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smiths bullet enter he has commits
stoned me to say that your wishes will
be respected" .-~. ~
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un-
doubted courage did not stand SO Sc
we're test, and he paled visibly. After
he recovered his composure he replied
that he would confer with his second,
and Mr.. Lamar, after an impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends of the
principals and new negotiations en-
tered upon. The duel did not come off.

In the middle ages malice and super

AFGHAN FEUDS.
Towers of Refuge From Which tn,
Warfare IL Conducted.

Towers of Refuge From Which the
Warfare Il Conducted.
In Afghanistan the people are good
haters. The blood feud exists in all
Afghan tribes. When a murder oc-
ours the avenger does not limit his re-
prisal to the murderer, but kills any
relative that comes handy. This, In
turn, calls for counter attack, and in
time matters become so complicated
that whole families are wiped out.
When the tribe is called upon to meet
q common enemy the heads of the
families who have had quarrel bury
two stones side by side in the presence
Of the mollah as symbolic of the feud
being put out Of sight during the pub
lie danger. When affairs revert to
their normal state the stones are SOL
EMMY disinterred and the two parties
are free to 60 on shooting at each other
again.
Every Afghan villager Of moderate
means owns tower Of refuge standing
at the corner Of his courtyard. These
towers, made of stone and mud. are
perfectly solid for the lower twenty
feet or SO, the top being surrounded by
q loophole wall and covered over to
make it habitable. The base is protect
ed by gallery, and the only means of
ascent is by rope and a hole just
large enough for one man to crawl
through. Whenever a man has made
things too hot for himself he takes
refuge in his tower, and by the un-
written law Of the country he can
never be starved out so long as food
and water are brought to him by
woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells Of
seeing one tower of refuge whose occu-
pant had not stirred outside for ten
years. His only amusement was tax
ing shots at the occupant of another
tower, which were duly returned. In
the meantime their wives visited each
other and gossiped and were on terms
of perfect amity.

MONEY SLANG.

Terms Applied to Coins and Bank
X Notes In England. &
"We may think there is great deal
Of slang in English as we commonly
use it in this country" Mr.. J. E. Sora-
CHAN observes, but in at least one re-
spect the colloquial tongue of England
surpasses the wealth of terms we pos
sess in this regard, and that is the
slang relating to money. The American
uses astonishingly few slang words in
speaking of pieces Of money, perhaps
because he has greater respect for it.
A five cent piece is usually referred to
as nickel, but this is practically the
only slang term applied to any Of our
money in general use. A dime is off,
cially a dime, and so is quarter.
But turn to the English appellat lions
for their money and hardly bit of it

official designation. A shilling is seldom
called such in London. They call it q

"At race track if a bettor says he

TIME FOR SCOTLAND.

Ball ON One Hill Drops When Cannon
on Another Is Fired.
Speaking Of clocks" said the travel
er, Edinburgh, Scotland, has the most
interesting time marking device I ever
saw. The city lies between two hills.
On one of these, known as Carlton hill,
there Is an observatory tower, in the
top Of which large black ball is sus-
pended. Across the valley, probably a
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
Of the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower u
mile away. Every evening at 6 o'clock
the gun is fired, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
1T is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash of the gun on Castle
hill and the fall of the ball close at
hand, while the roar of the gun is of
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand, it is equal
~ interesting to stand beside the big
gun at dusk to watch the bali at Carl
ton hill fall just as the shot is fired
I recall once standing in the courtyard
Of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon just overhead to be
fired. 1t occurred to me it would be
more exciting to watch the crowds Of
passing people, especially since not
one was apparently thinking of the
shot from the cannon. When the roar
took place, absolutely without warning,
hardly yard above the heads of the
crowd, the scene well repaid my wait
ing. Everybody lodged. Children
screamed, and men and women jumped
to the side OF the wall. OF course 1t
was all over in q second, but In that
moment 1t seemed that an electric
shock had passed through the crowd"

A Terrifying Adventure With a Mo-
ment of Deadly Peril.
Mr.. Stanhope Hall, author of 'Twen-
ty Years at Sea-" was not much more
than a boy when he had the following
curious and terrifying adventure, the
recollection of which haunted him all
his life! The ship on which he was
making his first voyage was loading
cotton in Mobile bay, and the captain
had. sent him in small boat to get
some newspapers from big side
wheel steamer which lay near by.
In trying to bring the boat up to the
steamer, he says, / upset myself and
went down. I could not swim, and l
struggled in hopeless terror. When I
came to the surface I found myself in
the brackets of the great wheel. They
were green with river moss and Slip
perry as ice, but I managed to get
astride of one and regain my breath.
AS held on, painting from my plunge
a thrill of horror ran through me. The
wheel had slowly begun to revolve. In
agony I shouted, but in that great
wheel box my voice was as nothing.
Slowly the wheel turned, carrying me
upward. When I reached the top I
should be ground to pieces, or, If by
chance escaped that fate, I should be
drowned when was again drawn I'M
der the wheel into the fearful suction.
Again and again shouted. Finally,
as was nearing the top. little trap
door opened and some one looked into
the box. I opened my mouth to call
once more. but my throat was paralyz-
ed. For a moment / could not utter d
note .53s
The trapdoor was just closing when.
with one mighty effort, my voice came
back and screamed. The man open
ed the trap again, saw me, sprang upon
the wheel and snatched me into safety.

THE THREE ANGELS.

i Hit OF HunEarian Folklore IIlus-
trating German Firmness.
Here is bit Of Hungarian folklore:
After the Lord had decided to expel
Adam and Eve from paradise he sent
Gabriel, the Hungarian angel. to carry
out his order. Now. from the eating Of
the fruit OF the forbidden tree Adam
and Eve had become quite shrewd, and
they were endeavoring to get out of
the fix as best they could, SO they pre-
pared big feast, received Gabriel
with the utmost kindness and sought
to win his heart by lot Of affection
ate words. They succeeded. 1t grieved
Gabriel to expel these kind hosts from
their home. He therefore returned to
the Lord with the request that some
body else be charged with this un-
pleasant mission. ~,..', D.. > -sl4., !.
Thereupon the Lord sent Florian, the
ROumanian angel, because the Lord
knew Florian to be more obedient and
less magnanimous. Adam and Eve
were just dining when Florian, hat and
large cane in hand, stepped in. He sa-
luted in a most humble manner and
then told why he had come. "Have
you it in wrfting%' inquired Adam sc.
verely "No." stammered the visitor,
and. frightened. he returned to his
heavenly abode. IT,. ..n 4
Then the Lord sent Michael, the Ger.
man angel. Adam and Eve at once set
to work preparing even richer meal
than had been served Gabriel, think.
ing they might induce Michael to be
lenient. So the very best things were
served, and there was no scarcity of
beer and good sausages. Michael ate
until he could hardly even wheeze
Then he arose and, drawing his sword
said. ''Now you get out of this!" Ad.
am and Eve tried all their little tricks
to stay. They appealed to his mercy
and implored him to consider how
nicely they had treated him. But all in
vain. Michael remained firm, merely
saying, 1T must be-" And he drove
them out.-Chicago News.
