PMito^ua* I Ttotrt A* Thrtt Kindt Trick? to O^Jfl Ttat Whilt Fighting. ' Duels are common enough in I , France nowadays, but they are robbed of their picturesque side, says Fouscv.oid Brigade Magazine, 'iney may be divided into three < caiegories, which I place in the orI; dcr of their frequency of occurrence journalists' duels, duels that are the outcome of a tongue too veil hung or lubricated by an over$ do-eof alcohol, and, thirdly, those where the opponents are out to kill if tl.rr can. The above order also represents the degree of publicity accompanying each. Of those due to an ill considered or ill bred remark comparatively few come to an interchange of shots or thrusts, but fizzle out after an interchange* of cards. Morning brings a more reasonable frame of mind, and things are quieted down by; those unfortunate individuals who have been selected as seconds., When such enco^p^* do take pface at least one of the principals is only too desirous for privacy to be main/tained," the safest possible conditions are arranged, and one only hears about the affair, after it is all over. The materials-ior. disagreement are usually a night restaurant tad the cme ..extra bottle which^ might have been dispensed with. Only recently a respectable married man f^und himself confronted in com. bat by an unknown Argentine with ufcom he had apparently had a disagreement the night before at a well known second rate coemopolC:. imn cafe much frequented betweenabout 2 a.m. and breakfast time.'* $ Neither of the gentlemen knew qaite ,what H was all about, but Weir seconds said it was All right, ao they had to go through with it, toad no harm was done. The third t|pe of duel is serious and rery rare. It usually takes the form of *row about a lady.' There are a good many tricks to tain time in dueling. Dropping the Word is one, resting the point, on tbe ground or me king a wide parry go aa to scrape the ground is another la either of these eases tire point has to be sandpapered and treated with.an antiseptic or hold " *li?+ fkaM ma* Ka rut 1U ?

With piatoH the conditions 1 are arranged according to the serifusr neaa of the quarrek As a rule, dueling pistols at twenty-five paces are * used. The dueling pistol is mn&le loaded and rifled. . pull oft regulated bj the circnn?tancer, also the powder charge. Seconds often arrange to pat in only suffi-i cient powder to drive, the bullet out of the bore. Sometimes they drop the bullet into the leffhand when loading and hammer an imaginary one down the barrel. Sermon In a Few Werde. We are very much impressed by something we saw and heard while passing along the street a few eveningB since. A young girl was standing in front of a store, and nea^ her, with 'a mihgdog Expression on his face, was a young stripling of a, youth. As we passed the two the girl said to the boy, "Any on* who speaks of my fathdr as the old man' is not worthy of ay yespech" From the tone of her roice we knew that the girl spoke from the impulse of a moment, but there eras a fhole sermon in her utterance. I We don't know the girl, but if she lires she >?rill develop into s noble woman^ hood, and the world will be better, for her haying lived in it And the boy, if he has any redeeming qualities in him, will profit by the lesson given him in that one sentence.
