THE CODE OF HONOR,
Dueline o. 1t Was In France In the
Time of RicheIieu.

Duelins o. 1t Was In France In the
Time of RtcheIieu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between
1000 and 5000 lives during the twenty
years of Henry Tvs reign, was at it's
height when his son came to the
throne. The council Of Trent In 154o
had solemnly condemned the practice
of single combat, impartially includ-
ing principals, seconds and spectators
IN it's penalty Of accommodation. In
1902 an edict Of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom Of dueling intro
duced by the corruption Of the cen
turv' to be the cause Of so many pfte-
Gus accidents, to the extreme regret
and displeasure Of the king and to the
irreparable damage Of the state, "that
we should count ourselves unworthy
to hold the scepter if we delayed to
repress the enormity Of this crime"
4 whole series Of edicts followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them.
Degradation, imprisonment, confsca-
ton Of property, loss Of civil rights
and death were the penalties attached
to the infringement Of the laws against
dueling, and still the practice pre-
vailed In 1926 Richelieu published q
milder form Of prohibition. The first
offense was no longer capital, third
only of the Offenders property was to
be confscated, and the judges were
permitted to recognize extenuating cir
cumstances.
4 few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the min
isters patience in this direction. The
Place Royale had long been favorite
dueling ground, and De Bouteville
travelled from Brussels 20 fight his
twenty second duel here, in the heart
Of Paris, in deliberate defiance Of the
kings authority. The result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though he
was, the count went with his second
to the scaffold, and the marked de-
crease from that time in the number
Of duels may be attributed either to
the moderation used in framing the
law or to the inexorable resolution
with which it was enforced.-Macmll-
lan's Magazine.

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
Beacon. Lights For Mariners Coeva-
49,. Win the Earliest Commerce.


J.: =. ';Titr the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon, lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses were built In ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to US from old writer's or in crum-
bled ruins This Is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable archttec-
tural form, were exposed to the storms
Of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and be was consid-
cred the protector Of voyagers. 1t Is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book Of
the 'Iliad"
Virgil mentions light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. The Co
lossus at Rhodes, erected about 300
3. c., is said to have shown signal
light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt. They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, hydrography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle Of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2S5 3. c., is the first lighthouse
Of undoubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect,
was square in plan, Of great height and
built in offsets. An open brazier at the
top Of the tower contained the fuel for
the light At Dover and Bou!ogne, on
either side Of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the Ro-
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain. built in the reign Of Trajan and
reconstructed IN 1854, is believed to be
the oldest existing lighthouse.

knight chose out his men from the
swarm OF volunteers. Many an anxious
consultation he held with Black Simon,
Sam Awkward, and others OF his more
experienced followers, as TO who should
come and who should stay. By All
Saints Day, however he had filled UP
his full numbers, and mustered under
his banner as stout a following of
Hampshire foresters as ever twanged

OF the breast When all was completed
and the muster called in the castle-
yard. the oldest soldier of the French
wars was fain to confess that he had

them, to Horde John, the giant re-
