WAGER OF BATTLE.
The yirst DueIs Are Said to Have
Reen EOught In Italy.

The first duelS were fought in Italy,
according to Mllingen, who speaks OF
manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes duel between a father aud
O son i'm the reign of the Emperor The
Odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager Of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fiercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicls, u knight, defeated
IN single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Otho
III. granted the prayer OF the nobility
for the re-establishment OF wager OF
battle I'm 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled TO accept IL. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them woman had to accept, nor could
she name a champion. Her male op-
ponent. however, was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with
club, he tried 10 strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball Of iron at the end OF q cord. If he
failed TO touch her at the third at
meant TO him death with dshonor.
Bcccarln says that the reason SO
many duels were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look TO single combat TO retain the re-
spcct Of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity Of Italian duels
passes belief. "Any way Of putting an
enemy 10 death Cogni modo) is good
enough" says one Of their writer's.
when an Italian spares his vanquish-
ed adversary" says Brantome, 'he
Mains his arms and legs and gives
him as mcmento OF his kindness and
generosity "A hideous cash across the
face" Lampagnano practiced on a
painted model Of Galeazzo Sforza be
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called ia scicnza cavalleresca. Corn

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
Advice For Those with Rheumatism,
Gout, Eczema md Neuralgia.

If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, gout, eczema and
neuralgia i'm the world. The most fire.
qucnt cause of these arrangements is
an excess of nutrtive materials. The
blood is surCharged with salts that
are not needed In the system.
The doctors are trying TO remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts such as purgatives,
duretics and solvents OF various
kinds The rational way, however, TO
cure such affections il to stop the
cause Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply OF urates In the
blood
Those who take active exercise i'm
the open mir every day require a great
or amount Of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutrtve materials In
muscular exercise, but the amount Of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them i'm urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
ly TO crystalline, especially I'm those
portions Of the body where the cirCula-
tion is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
klcs, the toes and fingers
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is prescription that is worth
more 10 such people than all the drugs
I'm the world. Shut off the source Of
urate poisoning and the effects OF
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-
change.

LAWS IN CHINA.
They Take No Account of the Inten-
tions of the Accused.

The incompatibility of laws based
on diverse civilizations is nowhere
more marked than in China, says Ho-
sea Il. Morse in the Atlantic. There
no bankruptcy law Is possible. IL Y
debtors own estate will not suffice TO
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father, brothers or
unclcs: il "A debtor absconds his Inn
mediate family are promptly imprison-
ed If the debtor returns he is put in
prison and kept there indefinitely, so
long as he can find money for his
daily food until released by payment
In full or by death. This is the law.
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Weihaiwei
and his fleet, he committed suicide
BY this courageous step, technically
dying before surrender, he saved his
immediate family-father. mother, sons
and daughters-from decapitation aud
their property from confiscatioB, the
penalty when commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death OF q Chinese
by firing salute from cannon from
which by oversight the ball had not
been removed, he was seized, tried
and executed And in 1880, when I'm
the course of disturbance with Eng
liSh and American sailors at Canton a
Chinese was killed, the authorities de
mandcd that if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the
whole party should be handed over
for execution. This is the law.
Intention is never taken into ac-
count. A dollar for dollar, an eve
for an eye. life for a life, and all
for the emperor and his representa-
tives-thls Is the law Of China.

Would You necoGnize II ~ You Saw
IL on AnOthers

How curious II is," said the philos-
opher, that the person for whom you
care most on earth. the one you see
oftenest aud who receives your most
constant attention, is the one whose
eounteDance Is least familiar to you"
who Is that" asked the visitor.
Yourself" said the philosopher. 1T
is a fact that II people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 3G5 days OF the year.
We say our eyes are blue or brown or
whatever other color they may be, our
hair black, our chin peaked, our fore
head high. We know every lineament
Of our face from constant study and
attention, yet when we turn away
from the mirror we cannot conjure up
q picture OF ourselves.
I'VE know just how our friends and
even acquaintances look. In fancy we
can see them sitting so or standing so,
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances are clear to us
even though we may not have seen
them for years, but when II comes TO
ourselves We cannot fill in even the
outlines Of the picture. We may laugh,
we may cry, we may frown, but We do
not know how we look while we are
doing it, Photographs do not help us
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try TO see
ourselves with the minds eye.
THAT il why people are SO deeply
Interested In. anybody who is said TO
resemble them. Just say TO a man,
L know somebody who is the dead i'm
age Of you and he will never rest till
he sees that person. Then If the like
ness is really true he will own that
up TO that time he had had no concep-
ton OF how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly.
81 wish You wouldn't talk like that"
she said. "It makes me feel positively
uncanny. New York Press.
