KINGS TALKED OF 4 DUEL
But George u. and Frederick Of prus-
sia Didn't Fight.

But George u. and Frederick Of prus-
sia Didn't Fight.
The personal enmity which existed
between George II. and Frederick.
king Of Prussia. reached at one time
to such a height that, as Baron Byf1eld
was informed on good authority, the
monarchs conceived the very singular
design Of gratifying it in a duel.
King George made a choice Of Briga-
der Sutton for his second and the
king Of Prussia Of Colonel Derschau.
The territory Of Hilderscheim was
picked on for the meeting. His Bril-
tannic majesty was then at Hanover.
and his Prussian majesty had come as
far as Salzdahl, near Brunswick.
Baron Borck, the Prussian minister at
London and lately dismissed from the
court in a very abrupt manner. having
repaired to the king, his master, at
Salzdahl found him in such a violent
passion that he did not think it ad-
visable directly to oppose his design,
but to gain time feigned to approve
Of the extraordinary combat which his
majesty meditated, and he even Of
fered to carry the challenge.
The challenge was not sent. Minis
ters on both sides gained time, the
choler Of both parties evaporated, and
the following year the quarrel was
made up.-"The Percy Anecdotes"

The ScoldinQ Love Bird.

"Those love Birds" said keeper in
the aviary at the Bronx zoo, ARE more
like human beings in their actions and
characters than any birds We have in
the place. The male, which, you see,
has little blue spot on its beak, is as
gentle and affectionate as a pet dog,
but the female is regular shrew, and
that's the only word by which to de
scribe her. She pecks and scolds at
her mate, and often I have seen her
lower her head and shove him of the
perch. Sometimes she will chase him
about the cage, jabbering at him like
an old bag. The male seems to put up
with it as patiently as a henpecked
husband. He never tries to retaliate,
and it isn't on account Of fear either.
The old lady acts the same way with
me. When I speak to her she scolds
at me. The mate seems to appreciate
any attention I pay to him and twit-
ters to me like an old friend."-New
York Sun.
