A Duel by Suicide.

From the London Globe.
 A tragedy, romantic on the surface but in reality throwing a repulsive light on the hollowness of life in Russia, Is re- ported from Moscow.
 Two young Poles named Nidetz<i and Komorovsky. attending a ball given by Count Feodorovo, were both so smitten with the beauty of the Counts daughter that. though friends from boyhood, they at once became deadly enemies, and be- fore the ball was half over had determ- ined upon a duel to the death by that most strange but most deadly of all methods-the suicide of one of the com- batants. It was decided that the loser of game of ecarte should kill himself and toward the end of the bah the in- fatuated pair went to the card-room for their game at death. In a few minutes Komorovosky had lost and. quietly draw ing a revolver, he shot himself through the heart. Nidetzki took the first ex- press for Berlin.
 As for the fair cause of the tragedy she was so little impressed that within a few days she had accepted a proposal from Russian nobleman.

Passed On.

From Tft-Blts.
 On one of the recent stormy nights a man was hastening home with his over coat buttoned up to his neck. He was rather anxious to know what time 1t was. but he was too lazy to unbutton his coat In order to get at his watch.
 Just then he saw a man of well-dressed appearance coming in the distance. and remarked to himself:
 '.rll ask this gentleman the hour of the night, and so save myself the trouble of unbuttoning my coat"
 He perceived that the stranger was buttoned up just as he was. When he came up, the man who wanted to know the time touched his hat politely and said:
 "Slr. do you know what time 1t is?"
 The stranger paused, removed his right glove, unbuttoned his coat from top to bottom, unbuttoned his undercoat. and finally pulled out his watch, while the cool wind beat against his unprotected chest.
 Holding up the watch so that the light would shine on it. he scrutinized it an instant, and said:
 "Yesn
 Then he passed on without another word.

THE TRADE RAT.

One of the oldest little animals in exist

says the Strand. to the fact that, though il is
a great thief, IL never steals anything with
out putting something else in it's place.
The story il told Of a paste pot which
had been left over night in the assay Office
at the Silver Queen Mine, and which was
found in the morning filed with the oldest
collection Of rubbish.
This was the work Of trade rats. They
had stolen the paste and left in exchange
"A piece of stick, a length Of rope, some odds

Vienna ia also famous for its educational
institutions. Tts university has an honor

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN VIENNA.
Vienna is also an example in the matter
Of municipal ownership, it having gone
beyond all the other cities on the Continent
in the taking over Of what are known as the
natural monopolies. Il finds il not only
possible to own and operate It's w~aterworks,
lighting plants and tramways, but il finds it
profitable 10 do so, the profits which under
private ownership go TO the stockholders
accruing in Vienna To the whole people.
So successful is municipal ownership in
practice that opposition 10 the principle has
been silenced. Those who in the United
States are struggling In spite Of the influence
OF organized wealth eVc-ted through subsi-
died newspapers, corrupted councils, and
sometimes even through a biased judiciary,
to restore the streets Of our cities to the
public can find encouragagement in Vienna's
experience. The conflict can have but one
end, namely, triumph for municipal owner
