THE SIN EATER.
A (Itirtitus Pnneral flit Whlrh Formerly

Tho principality nf Wales lias within

Venled their distill blng Inn repnHe nf

Such nil aitimHciiielit wnnlil nlivimiHly
lcnvn nnthhig to be (IchIiciI on the one
side, but Imw it wnrlnxl nil the oilier
wn lire Imt fold. What was snppned to

be one nf snine Inipniliiiice In n hIii eat

ties nf bis profession were lis great nN
they would up pen r to have been nn this
hypothesis, bo would need to retire
from it early and tn devote n ennslder
ablo portion nf his closing years to re
ponliiuce nnd good works.
Again, it In mtlmiil to ask what hap
pened nt the deconsn of n popular or
"fashionable sin eater. Would any ono
among his professional brethren tinilcr
tnko to oat bis sins, even In thn first
flush nt satisfaction produced by stop-

iiin thn epithet nf "gallant" been right
ly bestowed upon little Wales. It. in ns
though one doctor Niiiveoding to anoth

thn moral responsibility for bis late col
league N treatment, nf nil Ills deceased
ittienlN iu addition to his own similar
burdens.
Wn yield to mine in admiration nf thn
quiet and homely heroism of the med
ical prnfossinn, but wo doubt whether it
would enable tlicin to face such an or
deal nN this. As to the Welsh practition
ers to whom wo have computed them,
wo plirlnk from pursuing thn analysis
further. It In evident that, an ill tho
schoolboy giuno of "conquerors," whero
a stono which can smash tho smasher,
of, say, 4!1 other stones takes over ull
its conquests, and becomes itself a
forty-fon rer," so tho responsibilities

to contemplate the internal condition
of tho sin eater of a sin enter who bud

iu high hopes of u pleasant trip. We
soon got Into a thick fog, and after
passing Bandy Ilisik at ahont quarter
spend the ship run aground. The ma
jority of the passengers, however, know
nothing of our plight, fur the propeller
kept on churning up tho water in fruu
tlo efforts to gut the vessel off the mud,
and the fog was so dense that very few
people noticed we were nut making
headway.
Tho captain dispatched his first oflloor
to Bandy Hook to telegraph the position
of ufluirs to tho agents, but as tho en
gines wore still kept going no ono sus
pected that anything unusual hud oo
oarred. Presently the boat returned, bnt no
quostlous were asked, and no one seem
od to huve tho ldoo that there was any
uood to ask them.
Two or three hours passed, and an
ocean tug came alongside out of the fog.
Nowsboys cumo on board to soil their
papers, and did a good business. "Ex

"extrurs" coutuined on the front page

"Bo we are, and likely to remain,"
answered an officer, npon whioh the
passenger ran to the side of the vessel
and looked over in order to convinoe
himself.
The newt now, of oonrse, began to
spread all over the ship, bnt it was too
much for everybody when a quarter of
an hour later a stout old gentleman
sprang up from his teat and yellod,
"Jerusalem I we're aground," and then
ran fall tilt along the dock in a fearful

All bin lifo Horoeo had wished for n

a stream nnd a coppice, uud Iu the Hit

a imp after his brief meal on thn grass

combination of mentnl and physical enso
which man is foolish to despise booanso
it is an enjoyment within tho reach
of every other animal as well ns of him
self. Hornco clearly considered both his 1
Bubinn farm nnd his villa nt Tibur
healthier than tho cnpital, especially in
the nntumn, "when all fathers nnd
mothers turu pnlo with four for their

that time as it is generally thought to
have been, Onoe, when he hnd promised
Maecenas to be away only flvo days, he
romiiiuod at Tibur through all tho month
of August, and he begs his "dear
friend," If ho would have him keep
well, to lot him stay yet longer, and
even pass thn winter out of Rome by the
seasido (ho was probably thinking of
Tarentnm).

with the servants of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Ilitellng as It Was la Franea In tbi Time

Thn passion for dueling, whioh had
oost Kriuieo, it wns said, Isitwoou 7,000
nnd rl,00t) lives during thn 20 years of
Henry IV's reign, wns nt Its height
when his son came to thn throne. The
council of Trent In 1 545 hnd solemnly
condemned tho prnotieo of single com
bat, impartially including principals,
seconds and spectators In its penalty of
excommunication. In 1003 nn edict of
Henry pronounced thn "dnmmihlo cus
tom of dueling lntrodnnwl by tho cor
ruption of thn century" to bo the cause
of so mnuy piteous accidents, to the ex
treme regret and displeasure of tho king
ami to tho irreparable damage of tho
state, "that wo should count ourselves
unworthy to hold the scepter if we do
htyud to repress tho enormity of this
crime. "
A whole suries (if edicts followed to
the sumo effect, but It wns easier to
mnko edicts than to enforco them. Deg
radation, imprisonment, confiscation of
property, loss of civil rights nnd donth
wero the penalties attached to the In
fringement of tho laws against duoling,
nnd still the practice prevailed. In 1020
Richelieu published a milder form of
prohibition. The first offense was no
longer capital, a third only of tho of
fender's property was to be confiscated,
and the judges were permitted to rooog
nizo extenuating circumstances.
A few months Inter tho Corute do
Boutoville thought fit to test the minis
ter's patience in this direction. The
Place Royale hud long been a favorite
duoling ground, and Do Bouteville
traveled from Brussels to fight his twenty-second
dnel horn, in the heart of
Paris, in deliberate defiance of the king's
authority. The result was not encourag
ing. Montmorency though he was, the
oount went with his second to the scaf
fold, and the marked decrease from that
time in the number of duels may be at
tributed either to the moderation used
in framing the law or to the inexorable
resolution with which it was enforced.
