QUAD. HIRED GIRL'S PROGRESS. Fable Showing Wisdom of Silence Concerning Some Things. Once upon a time there came into the city from the country a girl. The gir wandered from her happy home to se cure employment among the wealth; families of the city, and when she made known the fact that she was willing to work many persons soughi her and implored her to engage wit them in domestic pursuits. The girl was overwhelmed with offers, but final ly made a selection and settled In family that valued her services very highly. The girl was happy until ont day her employer met a neighbor, very dear friend, and told her of hei good fortune In finding the country girl. And this neighbor met anothea very dear friend and told her of hel other friend's good luck, and thus did it become generally known that thern was a good "hired girl" In the neigh borhood. And from that time on the mistress and the girl were unhappy until ont day the very dear friend gave the gir: $1.50 more a week than she was earn ing In her first place, and in this man nr did the girl become happy again while her mistress and the very deal friend ceased to be on speaking terms And then the girl became unhapp3 again until the other very dear friend engaged her at an advance of $1, and the other dear friend and the first deal friend ceased to talk over the bacd fence. And then the good girl worn fine dresses and fine hats, and one da; a dashing young man led her to thi altar, and now the three friends and the poor country girl are all very happy.

"Well, the dachshund reached the collar button and at once swallowed it It stuck half way down and thiekened the dog so that he couldn't pull himself past the lump. So Stimler had to call in the janitor of the fiat, and they 11ft ed the bureau off the dog." "What about the button?" "Stimler said he'd let the dog keej the button. He might need It." "Need It?"

Moon Views From the Grant Tomb, Persons of romantic temperament have discovered that the best place in New York from which to watch the moon rising In the east is the porch of General Grant's tomb. Standing, as It does, away from all other buildings, at the highest part of the Itiverside drive, with the beautiful Hudson rive: flowing softly along a hundred feet be low, the noble edifice in which lies the hero is as full of poetical charm as the Aihambra itself. As the moon rises one can see the rays touching columi after column of the mausoleum, throw ing into deeper shadow the recesses and giving the whole building an ethe real aspect which is strikingly beauti fuL Young couples who are strolli~nj along the drive make it a point to gi up to the tomb to watch the moon rise and the idea is begoming so populaa that the charm of solitude at least tas certainly departed.-New York Letitel in Pttsburg Dispatch. His supposition. A philanthropic lady of Pacifi Heights, one of the sort of superlo slum raisers shown up in "Fables Il Slang," met on one of her tours a lit tle boy who was swearing roundl She seized him at once and gave lit a good shaking, adding: "You ought te be ashamed of yourself! I never heart such language since the day I wa; born!" The boy into whose desolati home she had just been bringing ligh pulled himself loose. "Yes'm," he said "I s'pose dere was a good deal cussin de day you was born."-Sai e DUELING IN FRANCKE r t THE CUSTOM HAS DEVELOPED A NA TIONAL FIGHTING BLADE. It Is a Long, Strong Sword, the Epee de Combat, and With It, Were the Combatants so inclined, Serious Injuries Could Be Inflicted. , Persons other than French are wont a to maintain in spite of the occasional pin pricks that the French duelists in flict on one another that French duel ing is a French farce. But Frenchmen and sometimes other persons in sym pathy with them insist upon being tak - en seriously. They insist that dueling with swords, which is the real thing in French duels, is not child's play and that compared with it the old fashion ed Anglo-Saxon resort to a "pair of fives" is brutality not to be thought of by the scraping smirker of the boule vards. The French habit of settling disputes by resort to duels with swords has de veloped a national dueling weapon, the epee de combat, a long and strong blade with three triangular grooves tapering to a keen point, with edges that never are used save for defense. The hand is protected with a broad, round guard shaped like the gong upon an alarm clock. The handle is straight, with no other incumbrance, and bal anced by a heavy pommel which pro jects beyond the root of the thumb when the weapon is held ready for a thrust. It is a modern development of the rapier with which Cyrano de Bergerac fought the bullies of Paris. It shows traces of its descent through the ele gant court sword which was coming Into being when D'Artagnan became a field marshal in the "Due de Brage lonne." But its hilt makes it impossi ble for ordinary wear in its present shape, and the epee de combat is the weapon of the French duelist and of him alone. In 1888 General Boulanger and M. Floquet found it necessary to settle their differences at the sword's point The critics had not much difficulty in picking the winner between a civilian president of the chamber of deputies well advanced in years who had limit ed his practice to sparrow shooting with a pistol and a "bray' general" in the full ardor of his life whose sword was the symbol of his profession. Yet they were utterly mistaken. If M. Floquet was no swordsman, he was full of quiet pluck and common sense, and he practiced one stroke only the night before the fight A dozen times, though not too many to make his old limbs stiff the next day, he might have been seen in a well known salles d'armes straightening his arm and raising his wrist until he could only just see the point of his sword above and beyond the ball of his thumb. The next day Boulanger made a furious attack, with many stamps and flourishes. The little president stiffened his back, threw out his point, and the unlucky general impaled his neck upon the blade. Boulanger recov ered, to die by his own hand after "Boulangism" had been discredited. "Harry Alis" of the Debats suffered much more quickly from the effects of the epee. His real name was Hippolyte Percher, and in fighting a captain of infantry on the le de la Grande Jalte about certain scandals connected with the French Kongo he was hit in the right armpit and bled to death. The duel fought by Catulle Mendes in May of 1899 was almost as serious, and It was caused while Bernhardt was playing "Hamlet" by some fatu ous quarrel over the physical develop ment of the prince of Denmark. M. Vanor, Mendes' opponent, was a fine swordsman and, sportsmanlike enough to recognize the double advantages he enjoyed, contented himself with parry inhg correctly. Catulle Mendes threw himself on his adversary's point and was severely wounded in the stomach on almost the same ground where Percher had been killed several years before. It often is urged outside of France Lthat French dueling consists in merely pricking your man in the hand or fore arm, as the least disablement is held to "satisfy the honor" of the combatants. But the hand and arm of an adversary are those parts of him which are near est to you and which you can reach with the least exposure of your own person. The wound that is produced by trans fixing a hand, which may be protected only by the ordinary kid glove of social custom, is not only totally disabling, but also extremely painfuL. Soldiers who have been shot in the palm Inva riably collapse for a time with the acute agony produced by the rupture of so many delicate nerve centers. A thrust In the forearm Is equally effect ive, for it dipables all the muscles and ligaments that enable a man to hold and manipulate his sword. But though a fine duelist Is always capable of these particular thrusts and they are far more various than would be imagined at first sight-he has by no means exhausted his strokes when these have all been parried. At tacks in what is called the "lower line" are frequently successful and invaria bly produce an awkward wound when they succeed. The throat is as vulner able and as often attacked as is the chest, and it must be remembered that the entire body of each assailant Is open to attack and obviously to injury. One Thing Needful.

In all those condi tions in which there is uric acid in the system, in gouty and rheumatic diathesis, in cystitis and endocervi itis, causing painful micturition, in renal dropsy and dyspepsia, due to torpid liver or constipation, I have found the best results from this min eral water. Indeed, it may be used to advantage in any case in which its formula may suggest itself, especially when Lithia is indicated.
