Teeth In Their Stomachs,

Whatever it may be that the lobster
and the crab, rapacious. never dainty,
are eating they always see something
else that they want and can't wait un-
til they have masticated the first be-
fore attacking the second. But they
don't give up the first, not by any
manner of means. Nature, humoring
this rapacious bent, has fitted the lob
ster and the crab with teeth in their
stomachs. and they swallow their half
masticated food and finish the chew
ing process with their stomachs while
they seize and chew the other thing
that has attracted them. HOLSTERS and
crabs have no teeth in their mouths
They chew with their claws what they
have time to and hand the unfinished
job down to their stomachs to do the
rest Of the chewing.

One morning after the siege Of Paris,
when the city was believed in London
to be still i'm the hands of the COM

the Daily News of London, reached his
office to find the late Archibald Forbes
lying on the floor asleep, his head on a

were hard at work on his manuscript,
the story Of "Paris In Flames" most
vivid description of the last days of the
commune.
"Forbes had telegraphed from Dover
announcing his coming" said Sir John
Robinson, "the printers had been wait

those terrible days for the first time.
London was ablaZe with excitement.
Bouverie street was impossible through
the newsboys shrieking for copies, and
in parliament Mr.. Gladstone was ques-

say he hoped the story was exagger-

"When Forbes Weakened from his

that the gambler must pay the doctors

Curious Duel Between a Pair Of Fire
Eating Frenchmen.

In the swashbuckling days OF the
early part of the nineteenth century
the dueling hero In France was the
MARQUIS Merle de Sainte-Marie, whose
affairs of honor were almost incessant.
One Of these is said to have been so
ridiculous that 1t helped to set in mo-
ton the current of feeling that has
since made dueling so much less hon
orable than it once was.
1t appears that one day there called
upon the marquis one Pierrot d'Issac.
himself famous duelist. Now. in
French pierrot means sparrow and
merle means blackbird.
D'Issac struck himself on the chest
with emphatic dignity. Marquis"
said he, Il am a Bonapartist and you
are a royalist. Moreover, am the
sparrow and you are the blackbird.
1t seems to me that there is one bird
of us too many"

politely replied the marquis, land my
choice is pistols, and, as is appropriate

the trees"
Pierrot d'Issac was agreeable to this
unique suggestion, and as If it were
not sufficiently ridiculous thing that
one man should challenge another be-
cause his name was Sparrow and the
other Blackbird the duel was actually
fought from trees. The seconds stood
on the ground below.
At given signal the pistols were
fred, and there was n rustling among
the leaves of one of the chestnut trees.
Pierrot d'Issac came tumbling to the
ground like ripe chestnut" as one
of Sainte-Mari seconds expressed it
whereupon Merle de Sainte-Marie III
facetious mood began to chirp tri
umphantly IN imitation of the song OF
the blackbird D'Issac waited till he
had recovered from his wound and
then challenged Sainte-Mari for the
chirp.
This time there was nothing anus
ing about the encounter. 1t was
fought with swords, and Sainte-Marit
was badly wounded. The sparrow had
avenged himself on the blackbird.-
