% TUDENT3' DUELS. J Kwr tk? Gcrmfan University Mem Art' Padded For the Fight. My friend had vannh?S into the dress-1 Ing room, and at flrsc gkinco I entirely! failed to recognizo him in the padded monster that now staggered clumsily into j the room, supported on each side by his ' eoond and sword bearer. The thick armor j of leather and wadding with which ho was fcolstered entirely protected his body and 3 limbe. His nock was rigidly incased in a 1 high, thick collar of silk and whipoord, j i and his eyes wero proteoted by Iron gog-! { gles as large as small teacups, from which a strap passed round the ears to be buckled 6 at the back of the bead. His second was ^ omewhat similarly equipped, and in ad- j dltion wore a leather cap with a strong Iron peak. The other principal presently entered the room and took up his position at one sword's length from Zimmerman. He was closely followed by the umpire or unparteiischer. This personage was a ohronlo medical student of ten years' atandlnR?a mass of genial rotundity, with a fat, amorphous face in which features seemed a superfluity. He w^s duly qualified fbr his responsible position by 'an unlimited capacity for beer and the glorious faut that he had never passed an examination. Enthroned on an armchair a little in front of the other spectators, he divided his time pretty equally between a huge mug of Munchener and a long pipe of whioh the painted china bowl rested on the ground. He now proclaimed "Silentium!" and proceeded to announce the duel. It was to last for 20 minutes, ex oluding all pauses, and as usual to consist of short bouts or "gangs," with brief intervals of rest between each. The swords ?long, nasty looking blades, sharp as rr. sors and flexible as riding switches?were carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion and banded to the combatants. The seconds took up their position behind and to ? the left of their respective men, and gave ^ the word of command in the following traditional form: e "Auf die Mensur bindet die Klingen!" (Cross blades for the duell) a "Gebunden sindl" (Crossed they are!) "Losl" (Go!) The swords olash together in 'the preliminary stroke. Then ensues.a brief hail?torm of blows so rapid that the eye refuses to follow them and retains only a confused E Impression of fashing steel and flying e sparks. The head of each combatant seems J to be enveloped In a halo of gleaming ? points. It is impossible to realize that each of these lightning strokes is deliber ately and scientifically aimed and as de- * iiberately and scientifically parried.?Pall ; Mall Magazine. - 6 t MAMMA'S DEAR CHERUB. t 8* Deferred a Spanking and Got Stran- ^ ger.

The boy who howls waa In evidence, the ourled darling of his only own mother and the terror of everybody else, and he had kept the car In a state of wild excitement and exhausted the patience of everybody, including his doting parent. "Oh, If your father were only here!" she 1 had said for the fiftieth time as she tried vainly to restrain the howling terror. At that he stopped bowling long enough to beat the air with his small shins, and I the woman on the other side of him re- r marked audibly that a cage was the proper j place for savages like him.

I ARROW WHEELWAYSTO BE LAID IN THE 'ti??-ADAM. I? I -Tonltl Wear r? Lnag Time and Decrease Traction ? Details of Construction a*ij Difficulties to'lie Overcome?Many Good Features of the Suggestion. General Boy Stone, director of road aquiry, department of agriculture, in rcular No. 25 quotes from The Enineering News regarding tho laying I strips of brick paving in macadam Dadways. Tho News says: "It appears to us that this combina: on of brick and macadam is the most romisiug plan for the improvement of lburban streets and country roads of eavy traffic that has' appeared in a >ng time and deserves consideration by rery engineer who has to do with macdam roads. There are thousands of liles of city streets where the abutting wners can ill afford the assessments )r the cheapest of block or asphalt avements, and on the other hand the affic is such that the maintenance of resent macadam streets is a heavy bnron. Cannot the needs of such cases be >et by placing a brick roadway in the liddle of tile street and covering all ae rest of the width between the curbs 'ith broken stone?" The News also makes an additional ggestion in the direction of economy :hich may well lead to further expedient in this method of construction. It jys: "But in localities where there is a Dng freight haul cn paving brick the spense of even a 7 foot strip cf brick a a road might be prohibitory. In such realities the schemo is worth consider3g, it appears to us, of laying two parllel narrow strips of paving brick brougb the middle of a macadam road, s illustrated in the accompanying cross cction. These strips might be 16 to 20 aches in width aud cf such gauge that ehiclesof all classes could follow them s they would a lin? of rails. The dereased traction on such a surface would n TYrnnHrvillTT oa nrpnt nq if Steel rails V, D rere laid in the macadam, as has been roposed, and if properly laid they ronld wear a very long time under any rallic where a macadam road is justiable at all. "There are thousands cf places where short piece of roadway is subjected to very heavy-traffic. Such roads occur round factories, mills, mines, quarries, ailway stations and many other places, a many of these places an ordinary \ BOSS SECT I OX OF BRICK TRACKWAYS, UNDEKDKA1XED AND STOSK CURBED. irt road is in use, and teams are haul-, ag over it loads not one-foarth as large s they couid haul over a hard surface, a rdany other eases stone roads have een laid and are effecting a great savag over the old dirt roads in cost of aulcge, but are expensive to keep in 2pair under the heavy loads that pass vcr them. For snch places as these the lan of using paving brick to take the eavy wear appears to be especially adantajjeous and deserving of extended doption. "The details of construction, snch as he foundation under the bricks, the onstrnction of the macadam at their ides and between them, the filling beween the bricks, etc., would vary with ucal circumstances and with the teachjgs of experience, but they need riot be onsidercd in a study of tho merits of be scheme generally. "It may be. pointed out also in this onnection that such a strip of brick avement as' is here proposed would ml-fi nti nflmirnhln road for cvclinc. nd tho influence of that'important ody of agitators for road improvement light well bo exerted in favor of this roposition." The drawbacks to the narrow strip lethod of construction are tho danger f the tilting of the outside bricks in riving on afld off, or crossing the line rith heavy loads, and the danger of isruption or displacement by frost. To meet the first of these difficulties curbing of rovgh stone might be laid, f stone is not available, bricks could e set on end for curbing, or a special arm of brick might be designed for the urpose, of which tho surface would arm part of tho trackway. In cases where damage by frost is tc e apprehended on account of the cbarcter of the soil the construction might e combined with that of the Illinois arm roads used by Judgo Caton. iThe Qmbination would be as shown in the ccompanving cut. The ditch above the draintile could B filled with any coarse materialseld stone, or quarry spalls too soft or ravel too large for roads, or with the urned clay in lumps which is used fcr iallast on some of the prairie railroads -this filling to be rammed or rolled own and covered with a little gravel nd enough hand for beddiug the bricks. I light coatiug of gravel would serve or the epaco between the tracks and utsido of thejn. A road so built and protected should ast for mauy ytnrs with no repair exept to replace the gravel wern out by he horses' feet. Wide Tires l>o the Rest. Many a county road, today a typical 'slough of despond," would be so imiroved by the use of wide tires propery arranged that repairing it to first lass erudition would require proper Irainage only, by shaping the surface ud keeping the side ditches clear, eaviiig the rolling of wide tires to do he rest.?L.

A highly important featuiB of tb? highways question is tho effect good 01 bad roads have upon the local marked and their sources of supply^ says the New York Tribune. In all the cities anc large towns of the state there is a demand for farin products and for the bulkier and heavier products, such as haj and straw and grain. In many cases the surrounding conntry is quite capable of supplying thai demand; in all cases it should do so a: far as possible; in most cases it does not. Instead, supplies are. brought in by ral or canal from fqr away, perhaps frorr other states; while at the same time, within a few miles of the market tliui Bupplied, are farms that have beex abandoned aa not worth working anC othters whose owners are in (Shronic di? content and despair at the apparent im possibility of getting profitable pricei for their crops. The big farms of th< west, they say, monopolize the markets, and so farming here no longer pays. Now, one prime secret of the troubl< lies in the bad roads, which keep th< producer and the consumer apart bj making it difficult, if not impossible, for the farmers to get their produce t< market. The farmer 1,000 miles awaj can get his crops to market by rail oi canaljnore easily and more cheaply thai the farmer only ten miles away can hau his in over roads that are so hilly anc rough and miry that half a ton is t heavy load for a horse to draw at aslo^ footpace. It is not that farms in the east are n( longer V?dnctive, nor that the easteri market no longer offers fair prices. Il is that,the roads between the farms anc the markets are so bad as to make ship mcnt uupiofitajale. Good roads through out the farming regions adjacent to th< cities and towns would do more thai anything else to restore prosperity t< the farmers, enabling them to get theij goods to the best possible market easily promptly and cheaply. Good roadi would mean good farms, good markets, good prices and gqcd times for all concerned. " * MONTANA HIGHWAYS. Beccnt Law s Provide For Their System tic Improvement. The highways of Montana, by a bil passed by the' state legislature, ar< placed in the charge of the county sur veyor, and the old office of road super vieor, usually held by an inesperiencec man, is abolished. The act defines th< powers and duties oT county surveyor! and provides for their compensation By this act eaeh of these officers is re quired to keep the highways in hii county Clear of obstruction and in gooc repair and maintain bridges, to maki all' plans and specifications for nev roads and bridges, to report to the coun ty commissioners on all work completed ancfif the work is done according t< the plans, specifications and contrac he is to draw his vouchers for the sam< beforo payment is made. The county surveyor is chairman o; all boards of viewers of roads, keepi the records of road surveys and is th< general superintendent of all roads. H< may employ labor, teams, ejc., and ha power to contract for all work not ex ceeding $200 in cost For larger amount tlio .approval of a majority of 'the boar< oh county commissioners is required The salary received varies with th( class of county, f5om $750 to $2,001 per year. Viewers and all assistants o the county snrveyor may not receivi more than $3 per day. ROADS THAT .ARE NEEDED. Henry Watterson's Idea la That They B Local, Not National. Henry, Watterson takes issue with i good roads advocate who insists tha the general government should havi charge of road making?that then should be national highways built am maintained at puhlio expense. The good roads that are needed, say the Chicago Times-Herald, those tha are most needed, in the language o: Colonel Watterson, are those that "lea< from the farm to the railroad, the mill the factory, the 6chool, the church, thi ferry and the market." This apt remark of Colonel Wattersoi is a condensation, a simplification, ai absolutely plain presentation of what i most wanted in the matter of goo( roads. Carry out that idea, and wha will be wanting? It will meet tne re quirements cf the farmer; it will savi the farming element hundreds of mil lions of'dollars every year; it will mee the expectations of thq pleasure seeker it will acid to the value of every foot ol ic the country; it will be of valm x> every merchant and every profession al man; it will be a source of pleasun and profit to all olasses, in all comma nities.
