Both-men were resolute, and'neither-would fleid to the suggestion of an amicable arrange ment As a last resort Senator Lamar wa aled in to save the situation. He ~realized that no ordinary- methodsO would s'erve his purpose, and so re sorted to strategy. The principals in .~ the: proposed duel are still living, so I will call the New 'Yorker Jones ahd the Mssssppian Smith. Senator Lamar calle~ on the New Yorker, and .after _the -usual civilities had been exchanged he said: "Jones, I've come here to do you a friendly turn. .I know that 'you and Smith are determined to fight and that nothing will stop you. I have not comeO as i mediator, but simply to mitigate, if jiossible, the horrors of a fatal end, f so far as you are concerned. As to Smith, Ihave no fears.

Now, If there is any particular spot that you would like to have - Smith's bullet enter hie has commis sioned me to say that your wishes will be respected.'" This extraordinary proposition stag gered the New Yorker. Even his un doubted courage did not stand so se vere a test, and he paled visibly. After he recovered his composure he replied that he 'would confer with his second, and Mr. TLamar, after an Impressive farewell, took his leave.

FOR SCOTLAND. Ball on One H~ill Drops When Cannon onAnother Is Fired. "paigof clocks," said the travel er, "Edinburgh,'Scotland, has the most interesting time marking device I ever saw. The city lies between two hills. On one of these, known as Carlton bill, there is an observatory tower, in the top of which a large black ball is sus pended. Across the valley, probablyta mile away, is Castle bill, surmounted by the historic Edinburgh castle. -One of the large guns in this fortress, point ing toward Carlton hill, is Electically cdnnected with the ball in the tower a mile away.

"It is interesting to stand on Carlton 7 ill at the appointed hour to see the simultaneous fiash of the gun on Castle. hili and the frll of the ball, close at hand, while the roar of the gun is of course some moments in crossing the valley. On the other hand, it is equal- t ly interesting to stand beside the big gun at dusk to watch the ball at Carl ton hill fall just as the shot is fired. I recall once standing In the courtyard of the castle, watch in hand, waiting for the cannon just overhead to be fired. It occurred to me it *ould be more exciting to watch the crowds of passing people, especially since not one was apparently thinking of the3I' shot from the cannon. When the roar took place, absolutely without warning, I hardly a yard 'above the heads of the 'y crowd, the scene well repaid my wait ing. Everybody dodged.

In southern Spain the cigarette mak ers form almost a class by themselves. Among them it is customary for a girli who fancies a lad to twist her powder puff into a pompon for his hat If heJ wears it at the next bull fight it is considered a match. In some parts of northern Spain a pumpkin pie is held by the peasant girls to be the proper offering to the object of their affection. when a young man receivcs such a pie his eating it or not signifies his acceptance -or refusal of the offerer's proposal of marriage..
