lawyer of some note named Cazeneuve
was called out by landed proprietor
whom he had offended by speech in
court. He repaired at once to fenc-
ing master, as he knew nothing what
ever about handling sword. This
teacher gave him the usual advice
about keeping his adversary at arms
length with the poised and immovable
rapier, but strongly enjoined him not
to retreat. 1t so happened that the
landed proprietor, being equally igno-
rant, applied to the same master for
instruction. The master, who was
somewhat of wag, gave him the law
yer's lesson in duplicate. a&
When the two men met and their
seconds had duly placed them a long
and tedious stiffness ensued. For
more than five minutes each foeman
stood with his sword arm extended at
full length, waiting for the other to
advance. Then the seconds interven-
ed, claiming that both had proved
themselves men of honor and courage
and that nothing further was neces-
sary but to shake hands and be recon-
ciled.
And this recalls the occasion when
Lieutenant Randolph Ridgley, of our
army while in the Mexican war, was
sought by two young officers who had
quarreled and each of whom wished
the lieutenant for his second. It was
finally arranged that he should act as
second for both. On the field, where
the adversaries were armed with shot
guns, Ridgely measured off line Of
ten PAGES and placed them respective
ly at it's two termini, cooked his own
revolver and announced that he
would give all the orders himself and
in his own way and that he would
shoot down whichever of his princi-
pals disobeyed him in the slightest
particular.
Then came the orders very deliber-
ately uttered: Present arms!" Car
ry arms" shoulder arms!" Take
aim!" They took careful aim and
; waited almost breathlessly for some
minutes for the command to fire. 1t
never came Instead came the orders:
present arms!" Garry arms"
shoulder arms!" Right about
facet" 'FRONT.'" Forward march,"
They recognized his commands as
given in deadly earnest and knew that
it would be Instantly fatal to rebel.
He kept them marching until they
reached his tent. There he halted
them and bade them stand at parade
rest till they had listened to a lecture
on the folly of dueling which fairly
, made their ears ring. But he sea-
soned his dose of rebuke with few
words of praise for the soldierly met
tie they had shown in facing each
others gun without fiinching, and
the two men became fast friends from
that hour.-New York Post.

Peter Gallagher, chief of police, was

some discussion by the attorneys, fin

Luther asserted that Patterson having
jumped out Of bed, struck him on the
head number of times and cut his
hand with some object. Luther said he
attempted to get out of the room by
the back door but found it locked and
the other door guarded by Patterson.
He claimed that Patterson grappled
with him and had his arm locked about
his neck when, having his knife drawn,
he stabbed Patterson in the back and
not being able then to release himself
from the grip of his adversary, he
again stabbed Patterson in the chest
and both men fell against the stove. AT
this time he stated that Allen King

coLoRs IN FLAGS.

Red Is tho Most Frequent, and After
That Comes Blue.
1t is entirely appropriate Of course,
that red, the war color. should appear
80 frequently in the flags Of the vari-
GUS nations. OF the flags Of the coun.
tries Of the eastern hemisphere there
is only one-that of Greece-which
does not show the martial color. In
the western hemisphere, however. we
find several standards not showing

Uruguay and Honduras contain no
red.
In this country there is no red in

secretary Of the navy, the admiral Of
the navy, the rear admiral senior in
rank and the rear admiral junior in

the rear admiral second in rank and
the pennant Of the revenue marine.
The United States mail dag also shows
red. and that color Is also found In
the pennants for the vessels of tie

The flags that are almost entirely
red. except for the devices shown

Of Turkey is practically Of solid red.
After red the prevailing color in flags
is blue.-Harper's Weekly.

what lntermittenoy Means.

Intermittency Is that form Of 1rregu-
larity in which the pulse appears to
drop a beat occasionally. In some in
stances 1t occurs regularly and two or
three times per minute for several
hours. Sometimes also it is very IT,
regular and is noted number OF
times within a few seconds and not
again for minute or more. This pc
culiarity generally causes much un-
easiness. Yet while it may be very
serious symptom and associated with
grave and incurable disease Of the
heart, it often signifies merely func-
tional disturbance which Is in nowise
dangerous.
