GERMANY AND THE DUEL

In France the duel, as has been oft
en- pointed out, is a harmless amuse-
ment scarcely taken seriously by the
participants and considered in the ma
ture Of a social function by their
friends, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The German duel is a vastly different
affair, and because it SO often has a
serious termination, is vigorously OPP
posed by the civilian portion Of the
population, owing to whose efforts
dueling has been placed under the
ban Of both church and state law. De-
spite the law On the subject, tbs Ger
man government has squarely placed
itself on record as supporting dueling.
The minister Of war declared that
there was only one way in which an
army officer could avenge an insult
The officers corps cannot tolerate
a person among them VINO is not
ready to defend his honor with the
naked sword
Civilian duels are principally in the
universities, so if the law against the
practice is not permitted to apply to
the military, it is practically a dead
letter. The German army is suffering
from the antiquated and erroneous
conception Of the term honor" Her
officers cannot conceive of situation
in which it might be more honor

CRICKET FIGHTING EN CHINA
One of Many Forms OF Gambling In
duIged in by Chinese.

The Chinese are lnveterate gamb'
lers, and never lose an opportunity tC
bet, no matter how trivial the cause
may be. One OF their great lnstitu-
lions is cricKet-fighting, the crickets
beng caught, fed and trained as
carefully s.s is blooded horse. There
is a fixed diet for them, part OF their
food consisting Of honey and boiled
chestnuts. Ii they get sick, they are
fed with mosquitoes. Prior to fight
ing, their weight is ascertained and
duly recorded, there being a fixed reg
ulation as to their size and weight.
On the door of the house in which
the fight is to take place the record Of
each cricket is pasted up, and the
owner of the winner gets ten per cent
of all the bets. The cricket-pit is a
low tub placed On the table, and, aft
er weighing, the combatants are put
IN it and tickled with straWs until
they rush at each other with loud
cn:rrups and fight until one Of them
is killed. Good fighting cricketS are
very valuable and are often sold for
large sums.

The Sootiess Ernine.

The idea that the judicial officer Is
supposed to be vested with ermlne,
though fabulous and mythical, is yet
more eloquent in it's significance. We
are told that the little creature call
ed the ernine is so acutely sensitive
to its own cleanliness, that it be-
comes paralyzed and powerless at the
slightest touch of defiIement upon its
snow-white fur. When the hunters
are pursuing it, they spread with mirc
the pass leading to its haunts, toward
which they then draw it, knowing
that. it will submit to be captured
rather than defile itself.

ENGLISH LOVE or ROYALTY.

London correspondents. when other
topics fail, have been accustomed to
write OF Englands increasing tend
ency toward a republican form OF
government and to speculate upon the
possibility Of King Edward being the
last representative Of royalty, the
constitutional monarchy being abaD-
doned upon his demise.
w. D. Howells, who has been study
ing English conditions, writing in the
North American Review, declares 10y
atty to the royal family to be the
most marked OF English Characters
tics Instead of decreasing, it has in
creased curing the last half century.
Loyalty with the English is a SORT
OF religious principle. It is with them
d most serious thing, at which no man
may smile without loss. When Queen
Victoria died there was not q vestige
of the republican dream which had re-
manned from sentiment for the
free peoples Of antiquity rather than
from the commonwealth.
An Englishwoman lately said to an
American woman who owned we did
not yield an equal persona fealty to
all our presidents: oh, y S. but you
know that it is only our 5eople that
choose the president, but God save us
