FIRE wALKERs BURNED.
While Walking Bare Feet Across White
Hot Stones.

Berkeley. Cal, May 22.-An exhibi-
ton performance of the rites Of the
famous Pagan worship of fire practiced
by the fire walkers of Tahiti given in
Berkeley almost ended in a tragedy
Two of the fire walkers, Priest PUMA
Apihanuis and his wife, attempted to
walk with bare feet across a pit OF
white hot stones around which were
shooting red snarling tongues of fame
When they were half way across
their Tahitian costumes made from
mats of dried grass caught fire and had
it not been for the prompt action OF
spectators both the fire walkers would
have been burned to death.
The woman was badly burned about
the head ard hands and the hair was
nearly all singed from her head
Puhia's clothing was burned from his
body and he suffered painful wounds
Strange to say the feet of the two vic
tins showed no evidence of the walk
over the blazing pit.

DUELS IN AMERICA.
They Flourish in st. Pierre, Where
One Nan Has Fought 23.

St Pierre, jan 15-The quaint little French
colony OF st. Pierre Miquelon. off the south
coast of Newfoundland, of which this town is
the capital, has many interesting features but
perhaps the most novel is that it is the one
place in North America where the practice Of
duelling still exists and where appeals to the
pistol and rapier to settle disputes of honor are
not uncommon. St Pierre is best known as the
seat of the French fisheries on the Grand Banks,
alongside which it is situated. and also as the
greatest smuggling centre that now remains in
this hemisphere. It's Importance from a fishery
standpoint is considerable and the scions of the
great fishery Quitting concerns of st. MaIo and
St Servan. in Brittany, are sent here to serve
an apprenticeship, it We're, in the practical
working of the business.
Among these young men and among the ofIi-
GERS Of the French warships which patrol these
waters every summer in connection with the

and duels are usually the outcome The hot

things which leave alternative but pistols
ana coffee. According to the one daily paper
St Pierre boasts. La Vigie' CThe Lookout.
no fewer than seventeen duels have been fought
there in the last four years, or an average OF
one every three months
M Louis lie Case, the leading fish merchant
in the place and the delegate from St Pierre to
the Higher Council of the Colonies. which meets
at Versailles. has been a principal in ten Of
these He is a cadet Of a prominent Breton
commercial house and brother Of the Catholic
Bishop of St Pierre. Monsignor lie Case. The
views Of the churchman and the statesman do not
coincide in respect to the duello. however Louis
lie Case is a man Of great business ability, and

against the gunners is not violated In some
States il is Illegal TO kill such game at all except
at rare intervals; in others only so many may be
killed during a season by any one hunter; the

difficult for the hunter to carry home with him
the game he has legally killed unless he lives in
