self had an attack Of scarlet fever.

convalescent, was naturally extremely
hungry. So l leased my mother for
beefsteak. She did not dare to give
me any, but told me to ask DR.. H,

ON FIELD OF HONOR
DISPUTES ARE SETTLED IN IsE
AND OF ST. PIERRE.
One Portion Of the Earth That stllI
Adheres RigidIy to "The code"-
Prominent Member of Colony Kept
Busy in Little Affairs.

There is one place in North America
where dueling is still common. That
is st. Pierre Miquelon. Among other
practices peculiar to the mother
country, France, is that of settling af-
fairs of honor by an appeal to the
pistol OF the rapier. From a recent
publication in the Pierrois journal, La
Vigie (The Lookout), it is learned
hat seventeen duel have taken place
there the last four years, or an aver
age of IL every three months. In
ten Of these M. Paul Louis Legasse,
the fishery merchant, who represents
the little colony in the French cham
Der at Versailles, has figured as a
principal. 1t is evident therefore, that
ne lives a strenuous and dangerous
lie, though as nobody has been seri-
0usly wounded in these encounters the
peril must be less than would appear
1t first sight. The little town has only
$500 people and what may be termed
IS aristocracy is very limited. M.
Legasse who is the leading fishery
outfitter, owning over sixty vessels
hat ply on the Grand Banks and
whose wealth far exceeds that of any
competitor in the place, has to find
his adversaries among the officials
Who conduct the administration or
among the candidates who contest his
seat when the biennial elections take
lace.
Lie 1ofnCt. 1,yN r,o~ with M Tn~N
IN, the retiring chief justice of the
little colony. Between the two there
lad been a feud since last summer,
when M. Legasse, being charged with
completely in some alleged marine
scandal, was arrested by order of the
Judge, bail being refused until M. Lee
gasse's friends appealed by cable to
the minister of justice in Paris, who
ordered his release. M. Legasse, be-
ing unable to insist upon a meeting
while M. Caperon was actually hold
ing his exalted Office, had to wait IN
til his transfer to another post was
ordered. Then he promptly challeng-
ed the chief justice. They fought with
pistols at forty-ive yards, but neither
was hit. NJ. Legasse's previous i'm.
portant duel was with NJ. Dumont, a
creole from st. Pierre, Martinique, all
of whose relatives we're killed by the
tragic explosion of Mount Pelee. M.
Dumont, who is a lawyer, ran against
M. Legasse for deputy in the last
election and special interest attached
to his candidacy because many of his
followers advocated the annexation OF
the island to the United States.
1t was as an outcome of some VIC
lent language that the Legasse-Du-
mont duel took place. Previous ap.
pearances of M. Legasse on the field
of honor were made with other Off
Gals and with one or two rivals in the
commercial line. officers of the gen.
darmerie on the island and the naval
squadrons, which gathers there every
summer, figured in some Of these
affairs"

One of the landmarks of New Or.

1t is the historic and typical residence

years ago for Gen. Jourdan, a French
emigre, who came to Louisiana after
the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo,
and invested in real estate in the
Third District of New Orleans. The
house is Of: the colonial architectural
style, with wide galleries on three
sides and massive columns. 1t fronts
on the Mississippi river and the
grounds belonging to the old mansion
are more than one square in extent.
Gen. Jourdan was a local celebrity in
his time and JourCan avenue, a thor.
oughfare in the lower part of the city,
was named in his honor. He sold
his property to M. Lavigne, who &C.
cupied it for many years, and it was
acquired from the Lavigne estate by
the late Judge c. H. Luzenburg, who
was presiding magistrate of one OF

good state of preservation, and one OF
the city's beauty spots, will again

Many Products Yielded by the Famous
MahWa.
In northern India, close to the foot
of the H%imalayas, grows the mahwa
tree. Sugar is made from its flowers
as well as a cordial and the tree
proves itself useful in other ways.
AS a n%ut-bearing tree it has been
known for many ages. It belongs to
the sapotaceae (star-apple) family. Its
blooming period lasts from the end Of
February till April. Quickly after the
pollen is formed the whitish tubular
flowers swell to balls about as large
as cherries, which contain a large
amount of invert sugar (honey). The
flower tubes fall, covering the ground
in, the greatest profusion. They are
eagerly gathered by natives and eaten.
A tree yields from 200 to 300 pounds
IF flowers.
Rice is usually mixed with the fruit
before it is eaten. The dried flowers
have very much the taste and appear
ance of raisins. They are exported to

rels. and is highly esteemed by Euro
peans.
Besides the flowers the seed is OF
considerable use. They contain a fat
of butter-like consistency, which
serves as a foodstuff. 1t is called
"mowra' and the crude stuff is known
as "illipe' and is used by the Euro
peans largely for making candles.
soaps and the like. The wood is very
hard and lasting and is much used for
making wheels of the native bullock
carts.

birthplace, when a lad of II, to become
a clerk in a commercial house in Cal
no, and six years later came under the
notice OF Gordon, who appointed him
governor of Darfur. In this position
he became known as 'The Hammer of
the Arabs" owing to his many vic
tories over the turbulent tribes, but in
1883, he had to surrender to the Mahdi.
Then began an Imprisonment that
lasted till 1895. when, by secret aid
from the Authorities at Cairo, Slatin
managed to escape. The late queen
had Sir Rudolf at Windsor several
times ito hear him relate his adyen-
lures.
