WAGER OF BATTLE.
The First Duels Are said to Hav .
Been Fought I'm Italy.


The first duels were fought In Italy.
according 10 Millngen, who speaks Of
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes duel between a father and
a 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 Medicis "A knight, defeated
In single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Ohio
III. granted the prayer Of the nobility
for the re-establishment Of wager Of
battle In 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept Ii. The
NOrmans showed less gallantry. With
them woman had to accept, nor could
she name a champion. Her male OPP
ponent, however. was buried to his
waist In the earth. Armed with
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball of iron ut the end OF a cord. II he
failed to touch her at the third at
lellpl ne WAS NduuulSueu, WHICH
meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarln 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-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the feroGty of Italian duels
passes belief. ANY way of putting an
enemy to death cOgni modoO is good
enough says one of their writers.
when an Italian spares his vanquish-
ed adversary" says Brantome, "he
mains his arms and legs and gives
him as a memento of his kindness and
generosity hideous cash across the
face" Lampagnano practiced on a
painted model Of Galeazzo Sforza be-
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called ia schema cavalleresca. Corn

How to Succeed In Ifteroture

The qualities which / consider most
conducive to success in literature are
Imagination, coupled with a great
knowledge of the world, concentration,
the willingness and ability to work
hard, considerable knowledge Of
business and firm determination to
ignore the instructions of literary and
other agents with regard to what the
reading public may be supposed to re-
quire. If any author once loses his in
dependence In writing he may be call
ed finished, so far as any career is in
question-John Oliver Hobbies.

Unfortunate Omission.

One Of the most singular instances OF
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma

Orleans. regent during the minority Of
Louis " Of France, and read as fol

revolution, failed to throw any light OH

Boards and Battles.

Shaggy locks and patriarchal boards
have proved highly inconvenient things
on the battlefield. Does not history
record that Alexander ordered the
Macedonians to he shaved lest their
boards should give a handle to their
enemies? Peter the Great was also q
riend Of the BARRIERS, for he not only
ordered all ranks to be shaven, but
caused officers to go about to cut of

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
Advice For Those with Rheumatism
GOut. Eczema and Neuralgia.

If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water there would be
less rheumatism, govt, eczema and
neuralgia In the world. The most fire.
quent cause Of these arrangements is
an excess of nutritive 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,
diuretics and solvents Of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections is 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 in
the open air every day require a great
err amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the putritive 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 in those
portions of the body where the circula-
ton is the least and the temperature
Is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This Is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
In the world. Shut off the source Of
urate poisoning and the effects Of
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-
change.
