a Curiosity In DueIs.

In the history Of dueling it has sell
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a case
occurred at Moscow, where. after an
alteration in a tramway car, a young
staff lieutenant challenged a retired
general Of over sixty to a duel.
The challenge was accepted, and an
encounter with pistols was arranged in
a wood. When the signal TO fire was
given. to the great surprise of the Sec
onds, neither duelist fired.
The former explained afterward that
he could not risk destroying a young
life over a triviality, while the lieuten
ant said that it was impossible to fire
upon an opponent who had not raised
his arm.

Queer REASONING,

An old artisan who prided himself
on his ability to drive a close bargain
contracted to paint huge barn in the
neighborhood for the small sum of SD.
"Why on earth did you agree to do
it for so little?" his brother inquired.
"Well," said the old painter, you
see, the owner is a mighty Unreliable
man. If I'd said I'd charge him $50
likely he'd have only paid me SO. And
if l charge him So he may not pay
me but 50. So | thought it over and
decided to paint it for So. so would

Sir John Stainer had wonderful
musical memory. 1t was put to the
test once at the Crystal palace when
he had to play the organ in the "Mes-
siah" and folio copy, on which alone
he could see the score, was not forth
coming. The conductor was in despair.
Sir John cut the knot by wonderful
tour de force, playing the part fault
Iessly right through and entirely from
memory, probably the only time the
Messiah" has been so rendered.-LOn-
