Budapest, Dec. 24-Dr. Wekerle,
the Hungarian premier, and former
Minister of Justice Polonyi fought a
duel with swords, as a result of an al
legation Of political dishonesty made
against the premier by the ex-minister
at sitting of parliament few days

became reconciled.
DR.. Wekerle was the bigger and
stronger of the two and proved his SUI

bouts fought. He broke down his Op-

blows with the fat of his sword. Min

A Dreadful Assault.

Justice Ball, an Irish judge, was
noted for his amusing manifestations
of ignorance but whether they were
real or pretended has never been clear
IL established He tried a case in
which a man was indicted for robbery
at the house of q poor widow. The
first witness was the young daughter
of the widow, who identified the pris-
enersas the man who had entered the
house and smashed her mothers chest
"Do you say that the prisoner at the
bar broke your mothers chest?" said
the judge in astonishment.
"He did, my lord" answered the girl
"He jumped on it till he smashed IL
entirely"
The judge turned to the crown coun.
sci and said: "How is this? Why is
not the prisoner indicted for murder
If he smashed this poor woman's chest
in the way the witness has described
he must surely have killed her."
But, my lord" said the counsel, 'it
was a wooden chest" -Cornhill Maya

Fiddle and Grow Hair.

1t is now a scientifically proved fact
that music exercises a great influence

Science has proved that stringed in
struments have a favorable influence
on the growth of the hair, while brass
instruments act in the opposite direc-
ton. Every one has probably observed
that a bald violinist Is as rare as a
bald horn player is common. Wood in

TO PROTECT THE ALLIGATOR.
Legislators and Officials of Florida
Active to Save Him.

Legislators and officials of Florida
Active to Save Him.
The legislature of Florida and most
county and city officials have taken up
the legal cudgel in behalf OF the ALI
gator lnhabiting the beautiful streams
of the State. There was a time when
they were everywhere captured or shot
and dragged away with impunity. They
were becoming extinct when communi-
ties took up the alligatOrs' battle. It
was argued that, with the gator killed
off, Florida's streams would lose much
of what makes them picturesque to the
tourist
SO it was made illegal in most parts
of the State to kill or capture partly
or full grown alligator. The gators
seem to be aware, too, of what has
been done in their behalf. Now they
will permit you to row or they will
stand for your launch passing close
alongside as they lay sleepily summing
themselves on the bank of stream.
And they scarcely deign to turn their
huge heads and cast an eye in your di-
rection as you glide along. The wild
duck is protected on Tampa Bay and
on other large bodies Of the waters of
Florida by similar legal enactments.
Yet in some large streams of the State
the alligator is a prey of those who
would seek their capture.
They are taken uninjured mostly at
night time. A bulls-eye lantern is
used. It's rays are turned full on the
alligator, who slowly but surely fol-
lows the light until he can be lassoed,
pushed ashore and tossed into wag-
on to be hauled away and sold as a
zoo. museum or circus attraction
