The Lant EnEIIsh pueI.

The last duel-the last fatal one, at
least-was fought in u field in Maiden
lane In a solitary part of Holloway in
1S43. The district acquired considera.
BILE notoriety from the event. 1t was
the duel fought between Colonel Faw.
cett and Lieutenant Munro. The for
mer was killed. The duelists were not
only brother officers; they were also
brothers-in-law, having married TWO
sisters.
The ~coroner's jury on the inquest re.
turned n verdict Of wlllful murder not
only against Lieutenant Munro, but
against the seconds also. The latter,
however, were acquitted. Munro evad-
ed the hands Of justice by seeking ref.
uge abroad. -Four years later he sur
rendered to take his trial at the Old
Bailey. He was found guilty and sen.
fenced to death. He was, however,
strongly recommended to mercy. and
the sentence was eventually commuted
to twelve months Imprisonment.
The neighborhood in which this duel
was fought is no longer solitary. A
wide thoroughfare. Known as the
Brecknock road. runs through 1t, and a
rifle ground beside the Brecknock
Arms appropriately indicates the place
where the final shot was fred.-Cham-

One OF the familiar tests by which
a chemist recognizes the presence OF
arsenic is the odor Of garlic given OF
when m Of It's compounds is heated IN
the blOwpipe fame. The same smell OF
garlic is produced when certain fungi
grow on substances containing arsenic.
And II Is interesting TO note that one
species OF fungus Is found to accom-
plish this feat OF chemical analysis
more effectively when 1t Is grown In
connection with yellow algal eells-in
other words, when II forms the plant
association known as lichen. The
above method Of detecting arsenic
seems specially applicable to cases Of
poisoning where the substance is mixed
with organic matter which would form
a suitable medium for the culture OF
the fungus.

of what can be grown on thousands

Never neglect your kidneys.
 If you have pain in the back, urinary disorder, dizziness aud nervousness, it's time to act and TO time to experiment. These are all symptoms of kidney trouble, and you should seek a remedy which is known to cure the kidneys.
 Doau's Kidney Pills is the remedy to use. It has cured many stubborn cases. No need to experiment..
 A. NJ. Buck, painter, living corner Ninth and Maple Streets, North Ydki- ma, Wash, says: ''I cannot speak too highly of that wonderful remedy, Doau's Kidney Pills. My experience with kidney troubles dates back to the early part of the year, 1891, when 1 had a seize of the grip, which left my kid neys in very disorderly condition. I doctored great deal and took treat ment from one of the leading physicians of St. Paul, Minn., for three months, but only received temporary relief. The pain was in the small of my back and was so bad that I could not stoop or straighten up without torture. After coming out here the complaint still clung to me until friend advised me to try Dosn's Kidneys Pills. did not pay much attention to his advice at the time, because I had used somany things that had about lost faith in medicines, but when I was them advertised last summer, as was badly in need of some thing to relieve the pain, I tried box. It give me so much relief that bought more and continued until l took five boxes.
