The CODE OF HONOR.
DueIing as II Was In France In the
Time OF Hichelicu.

The passion for ducllnt which had
cost France. it wa. said. between
7.OOO ana 500 lives during the twenty
years Of Henry Tvs reign. was at its.
height when his son came to tho
throne. The council OF Trent In 1915
had solcmuly condemned the practice
Of single combat. impartiIlly in.lud
ing principals, seconds and spectators
in its penalty Of accommodation. In
1902 an odict Of Henry pronounced the
"damnablc custom OF dueling intro
duced by the corruption Of the con.
tury' TO bc the cause Of so many pitc-
Gus accidents. to the extreme regret
and disple1surc Of the king aud to tho
irrcparable damage Of the state. "that
we should count ourselves unworthy

seprcss the cnormity Of this crime"
A whole series OF cdicts followed TO
the same effect, but ii was easier to
make cdicts than 10 enforce them.
Degradation. Imprisonment, confisca-
ton Of property. loss Of civil rights
and death were the penalties alta gched
to the infringement Of the laws against
duellng, and still the practice pre-.
vailed. In lG2C Richelleu published a

Travelled from Brussels to fight his
