Another French duel has been fought in Paris, and this time with results. _ The duel lasted for two and a half hours, and the results were that both the combatants were tired. French duels used to make other peo ple tired. Prominent women in various cities are organizing themselves into socie ties for the inspection of streets and alleys. Affairs have not yet come to such a pass that neglected husbands feel called upon to organizo societies •for the inspection of homes. Civilization advances in some direc tions at a compound-interest rate, so to speak. For instance, the popula tion of the United States increased a little over 50 percent in the 20 years from 1880 to 1900, but in tho same pe riod the business and revenues of the postofllce increased 300 percent. The views of Massachusetts and Texas on the subject of railroad taxa tion are at variance. In the former state taxes are collected on both the tangible property and the franchises cf the railroad companies, in tha lat ter, the supreme court has held that this is double taxation forbidden by the state constitution. A woman minister who married a couple in Pennsylvania recently (and it is said to be the first marriage cere mony ever colemnized by a woman in that state) at once turned the mar riage fee over to her husband. Minis ters' wives have so long been accus tomed to receive the wedding fees that the act seems to be quite just to the sterner sex. The woodpeckers are friends of the farm and should he protected, ob serves a writer in the American Cul tivator. They have remarkable ton gues—probes they are. The bird has a keen ear and locates his prey by this sense. When ho hears the chip ping of a wood-boring beetle In an ap ple or other tree, and dislodges it with his sharp chisel bill and probe, it is likely that on his next rounds he will find a colony of ants enlarging the burrow of the dead grub. The bird now brings into use the same tools used in catching tho beetle, and tho ants are drawn out and devoured. Both insects are injurious to the tree. A recent report from the census bureau shows that Rhode Island is still the most densely populated state in the Union. "Little Rhody" has 407 inhabitants to the square mile. Mas sachusetts comes next, with not quito 349 inhabitants to the square mile. New Jersey is third, with a little more than 250 inhabitants to the square miles, and Connecticut is fourth, with a little more than 187 inhabitants to the square mile. The other states which have more than 100 inhabitants to the square mile are New York, with 152.G; Pennsylvania, with 140.1; Maryland, with 120.5; and Ohio, with 102. Nevada has only four tenths of one person to the square mile; Alaska, one-tenth. THE TEMPTED.

As Mr. Lemmon said this he filled a dipper at the pump and approached the teakettle. The tin lid was upside down and very hot. He gave it a hasty flip which landed It in the midst of the ap ple sauce simmering close by, and poured in the water triumphantly. "Like to got scalded that time," he said, fishing out the teakettle lid. "It won't hurt the sauce, will it?" "I don't believe it will. The dlp por'H melt, you leave it on the stove empty." "That's so." Mr. Lemmon rescued the dipper and made a fresh onslaught on the pump. "Billy means well, if he would only keep his mind on the main thing," he went on. "He's anxious to help. I haven't told you what he did yester day. I sent him to the toolbox for more nails. There was plenty of 'em there, hut he took a notion that it would be a good thing if he was to sort over the whole box, and emptied everything out on the ground. I come to see what he was doing to keep him so long, and there he was, swlmmin' in tacks. Much as ever I can get things straightened out again." Mrs. Lemmon laughed. She laughed easily. She was distinctly a genial person. "I can't think where he gets it from," added Mr. Lemmon. "He gets it from his father," an swered Mrs. Lemmon unexpectedly. "Why, you don't say—" Mr. Lem mon turned around to see what she meant. "Certain I do. You're filling the ket tle too full, Nathan; it's spilling over. Yes, you're both absent-minded. He can't get over it all in a minute. Wo must guide him some. Now, if you'll bring the horse around, I'll he ready to go as soon as the apple sauce is oif the stove." "Dear mo, they're as helpless as kit tons about some things," she thought affectionately, tying the strings of her Sunday bonnet in a firm, square bow. She looked out of the window at Bil ly, a freckled-faced boy of 10, who was tramping up and down besble the old horse. Mrs. Lemmon was Billy's step mother, and he had decided opinions about her. "She takes my part," Billy said. "She takes pa's part, too. I don't know who's side she's on—everybody's, I guess. She's great!" "Ma, say, can I drive?" he asked, as she came out. "Course I expect you to drive. When a young man takes me to town, he has to do the driving." Billy clambered into the wagon with an important air. Mrs. Lemmon stood waiting. "There's another thing a young man's got to do that takes me to ride," she said, after a minute. "What?" "Turn the wheel out so I can get in." "I forgot," Billy turned out sharply. "Take care—take care! You'll be over on the other side the road!" cau tioned his father, coming up to the fence, anxiously. It was not the gen eral custom to see one's wife off every time she went to the village. Mr. Lemmon did not know why he (lid it It was because she brought an ele ment of fun into the business. He felt excited, like Billy. "No, we're all right. Well, goodby!" Mr. Lemmon looked after his wife's erect, comely figure. "I guess they'll get where they say they will as long as she's in the wagon," he thought, j "He was dreadful pleased to have the reins. She understands boys." The place looked lonely to Mr. Lem mon as he went hack to the chickcn coop he was making. It was a good sized coop, with a door in the front for the hens to go in and out He had laid the floor and nailed on three sides the day before, and he regarded it with satisfaction. "She'll say it's a good Job," he thought "Queer how she come to say what she did about Billy." he continued. "I've told him, I don't know how many times, to just put his mind right on It—nail it right in. That's what Billy needs —" And then for a time there were no sounds about the place but the sharp lap! tap! of the hammer. It was dark when Mrs. Lemmon and Billy drove into the yard. Mr. Lem mon did not come out to take the horse. "Pa said he might have to go down to the meadow before we got hack," I said Billy. i "You and I will have to unharness. then. Quick, now! I'm going to make you some waffies for supper." "Can I grate some maple sugar to eat on 'em, ma?" "Certaiply. No, Billy, you don't want to undo all the straps, only Just what's necessary." "I get mixed up, ma." "Well, get unmixed, then," said his stepmother, good-naturedly. It was strange that Mr. Lemmon should leave the door wide open if he was going down to the meadow. She shut it, and laid her bundles on the table. Just then they heard a peculiar sound: Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat! "What was that?" she exclaimed. She and Billy looked at each other, startled. Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat! Mrs. Lemmon flung open the cellar door. "Nathan, are you there?" she called. "Ma-a!" came a feeble voice from the distance. "It's outside," said Mrs. Lemmon. "I'm afraid he's hurt. Take this can dle, Billy, and run on ahead." Billy loped across the yard. She fol lowed with the lamp. "What's the matter?" she called, alarmed, for Billy was capering up and down beside some whitish object, the candle lighting up his round face like a hobgoblin's. "Ma! Pa's in (lie chicken-coop!" There could be no manner of doubt of it His hammer resounded on the walls, and his muffled voice called crossly: "Let me out! let me out!" Billy got on the ground and looked through the door. "I see him!" he cried, excited. "Nathan Hale Lemmon, how come you there?" cried his wife. "I should think you could see for yourself!" She had seen in a flash, and leaning against the partition, 6he laughed till the tears came. "You've been —you've been —oh, ohT —you've been and nailed that front on from the inside, and then—you couldn't get out through the door un less you was a chicken, which you'ra not—oh, my! my, my!" "He! he!" snickered Billy. "But why don't you knock in a board and get ouf?" "Went the wrong way. Couldn't get any purchase," said the muffled voice. "0 Nathan, I shall give up!" "Well, when you get through laugh ing, maybe you'll do something. I'vo been hollerin' here most all the after noon." "You poor man, you! Really, I feel weak! There, Billy, you stop! Run and bring the hatchet. Don't cut your self." It took but a few well directed blows with the back of the hatchet to loosen a couple of boards. Through the nar row opening Mr. Lemmon squeezed out. He was one of the mildest of men, but when you have been shut up all the afternoon in a hen-coop of your own making, you may be forgiven for being a little provoked. it was a grand supper Mrs. Lemmon gave them, half an hour later, a sup per tit for the minister, and no allu sions made to late unpleasant experi ences. Right in tfie midst of it, all three happened to look up at once; and then there was a fresh explosion. Mr. Lemmon helped himself to the last waffle. "Well, 'twas rather funny when you come to think of it," he as sented, with a laugh. That was all; only nowadays, when he worries over Billy's scatter-brains, his wife says, soothingly: "Now, pa, you remember that chick en-coop."—Youth's Companion. NEW METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION. Will tho ripe 1.1 ne l!or*ed forOtlior rnr pcce Xluin Oil Dlntribtltluli? Ono of tho developments of the com ing century, worthy of at least passing thought, is the extent to which pneu matic tube principle will be employed to expedite transportation which if now entirely dependent on steam loco motives. For example, the long lines of load ed coal cars go from the mines to the seaboard, and come back empty to the mines. If the weight of a car is 25 percent of the gross load, there is in this instance more than 50 per cent loss or non-paying freight, the empty train requiring about as much power to haul it up into the interior as was expended in taking it to the ship ping port. It docs not seem altogether unroa sonable, therefore, to think that Just as the miles of tank cars loaded with oil, which were seen in former years, have disappeared, and that commodity is now sent hundreds of miles through pipe lines, so may coal, grain, an ore be sent speeding through tubes to central depots for local distribution, in the matter of coal transportation, in fact, Just such pipe line conveni ence was tried experimentally some thing like 10 to 12 years ago by the late W. C. Andrews of New York, the coal for that purpose being ground Into powder, mixed with water in suffi ciently large proportion, and carried through the pipes in semi-liquid form. At the delivery end of the pipe line there were to lie settling chambers for the mixture, enabling the water to be drained off and the coal paste, if we may so term it, to be pressed into cakes and dried for consumption. The project, however, did not extend beyond a brief experimental career. In woolen mills, on the other hand, it is a common thing to blow wool from one building to another through pipes by means of fans, and in pot teries, too. clay paste is frequently carried from one point to another through pipes. There Is, thus, a fair ly good beginning for pipe-line engi neering with solids. —Cassier's Maga zine. FRENCH CAVALRYMAN Ridel a .Hobby- HOMO and Slaihes at a Turk's Head. Not only has the cavalry soldier to acquit© the art of remaining in a sad tile—he has also to learn how, when in that position, to attack or defend .him self against his adversary. To this branch of his instruction an innovation recently introduced into the French army has added a zest hitherto only conspicuous by its absence. The old system consisted in making each soldier in turn mount a roughly constructed wooden horso and make a series of passes and cuts with lance or saber at a sort of Turk's head mounted on a wooden stand and placed at a certain invariable distance from him. He could hardly miss it if ho tried, and as it is only madmen who can derive any sort of pleasure from thrashing an unresponsive dum my, it is not surprising to hear that the exercise passed for being one of the most monotonous and disagreeable in the whole course of instruction. Thanks to M. Monlun, adjutant and drill instructor of the Third Dragoons of the French army, all this has been changed, and the recruits now like nothing better. The horse In itself, if a little neater in appearance, is still only made of wood as before, but the Turk's head representing the enemy has been mira culously endowed with life and ren dered as mobile as quick silver, or as a Boer commando. The soldier can never tell on which side of bim It is going to make its appearance next, or whether it will sweep around him in front or at his back. He cannot trans fix it as formerly with mathematical precision when and where he will, but must keep all his faculties on the alert to touch it at all. The principle of the arrangement is simple. By turning a small hand wheel at the extreme back of the ap paratus a simple contrivance of dou ble cogwheels causes the rods carrying round the horse as a centre. The di rection or rate of speed may be varied at the will of the instructor, the diffi culties being graduated according to the skill of the soldier. The use of the invention bids fair to become general not only in the French cavalry, but in other countries as well, the simplicity of its construc tion making it an acquisition by no means costly—something under SSO, it is said.—Pearson's Magazine. I'll© Conquest of Korea. Seventeen centuries ago the Japan ese Emperor Chuai was playing his lute in the presence of his wife and prime minister. Whether on account of the music or from some other cause, the empress became Inspired with a divine afflatus and began to utter the thoughts put into her mind by the deity. "There is a land to the west ward," she exclaimed, "and in that land is abundance of treasure, gold and silver, dazzling to look upon. This land I will now bestow upon you." The emperor pushed away his lute. "If you go up to a high place and look toward the west," said he, " tnere is no land to be seen, but only the great waters. They arc lying spirits who have spoken to you." Then the god was filled with anger, and again he moved the empress to prophesy. "You are not fit," she said, "To rule this empire. Go the one road!" But the prime minister trembled when he heard these words, and said to his master, "I am troubled, my heav enly sovereign, by this terrible mes sage. Continue, I pray, to play the august lute." The emperor Chuai commenced to play softly; gradually the sound died away; all was still. They held a light to his face and saw that he was dead. But the empress put herself at the head of his fleet, invaded the land of gold and silver with her warriors, and soon made the three kingdoms of Korea tributary to Japan. These things happened, we are told, in the year 201 A. D., and the story of the valiant empress is as familiar to a Japanese as is that of Boadicea to ourselves.—The Nineteenth Century. Where Mou KU Men. American men. as a rule, don't klsa each other. Americans abroad, who see the French, Italian, and even the stolid German osculating upon the least occasion, find something in it almost funny, not to say extra emo tional. The New York Evening Sun asks: What treveler in the land of the kaiser but has been moved well nigh to hysterics at sight of some son or brothor, who, setting out for a place probably 20 miles djstant, is be ing hugged and kissed by his male relatives with a gusto that would do credit to a set of boarding school gills. Boarding school girls In this country in fact would show very much less gusto. Opposed as the American temperament seems to be to ki3sing between men, however, it does seem as though there ought to bo some way of expressing emotion between a hand clasp and a kiss. Individuals differ in their attitude toward the kiss Just as Bo races—it being largely a matter of temperament. There are grown men who confess to have never omitted a good morning and good night kiss to their fathers so long as the two dwelt under tho same roof.

I When tho sun is pouring down Its rays upon tho ocean at noon-day none of them penetrate to a depth of over i 200 feet Could a diver descend to ; that depth he would find himself | shrouded in darkness as profound as though he were immersed in a sea of ink. I One of the difficulties in operating ' the arc light is the necessary renewal iof the carbonrods. A substitute for | them has lately been invented, which ; consists of two aluminum arms point ■ed with platinum. The arms are L sbaped, and are operated by a simple I pendulum arrangement, which, with the arms themselves, is enclosed with in a vacuum bulb. The lamp is to be used in a horizontal position and casts no shadow. It is claimed that there will bo no wear of the incandescent parts. The British Museum has recently received a specimen of the rarely seen "whale-lieaded stork," which was first found on the White Nile in 1849, and which until now had been sup posed to be confined to that locality. The specimen referred to was shot on the north shore of l.ake Victoria It fs described as a "distinctly weird looking bird, having a gaunt, gray body, long legs, and a head surmount ed by a little curled tuft and a scowl ing expression of the eyes." But its most remarkable peculiarity is its enormous bill, which is shaped like the head of a whale. An interesting theory has been ad vanced to account for the phenomena of the Aurora Borealis, which takes into account the most recent scientific contributions of our knowledge of the composition of matter. This theory attributes tho remarkable play of lights to be due to streams of Thomp son's recently-discovered corpuscles which are supposed to be emitted from the sun. As these approach tho magnetic field of the earth says tho Electrical Review, they are deflected toward the poles, and when thoy final ly reach a level of the air of the prop er density they give rise to light phe nomenon similar to those obtained with cathode rays in vacuum tubes. In the Interstate park, near Tay lor's Falls, Minnesota, has been dis covered a singular group of- "giants' kettles," or pot-holes, covering an area of two or three acres and ranging in diameter from less than a foot to 25 feet, and in depth from one foot to 84 feet. They have been bored in ex ceedingly hard rock, and in many cases they are like wells in shape, the ratio of width to depth varying from one to five up to one to seven. Mr. Warren Upham ascribes their ori gin to torrents falling through glacial "moulins" at tho time when the north ern territory of the United biates was buried under Ice. As with similar pot holes elsewhere, rounded boulders are occasionally found at tho bottom of the cavities. The continued experiments of Prof. F. E. Nipher, of St. Louis, Mo., with "positive photography," have produced some very interesting results. He says that the plates may be separately wrapped in black paper at night, or in a dark room, and all the remaining work can be done in the light A plate is taken from its wrapper in the light and placed in tho slide holder, and an exposure—a long one —is made. After exposure the plate is taken out In tho light again, and placed in the developing bath, and tho picture is developed, and may be fixed in tho light The result is a positive. Fine pictures are thus obtained. While it is desirable to shield the plate from tho light as much as possible during tho changes, yet, Prof. Nipher says, all of the operations may be carried on without any dark-room conven iences that may not be secured even In the open fields.

Chemists tell us that cheeso is one of the most nuitritious and at the same time one of the cheapest food 3. Its nutritious value is greater than meat, while its cost is much less. But this chemical aspect of the matter does not express the real value of the cheese as food. Cheese is eaten, not because of its nutritious vuluo a3 expressed by the amount of proteids, fats and carbo hydrates that it contains, but always because of its flavor. Now physiolo gists do not find that flavor lias any food value. They teach over and over again that our foodstuffs are proteids, fats and carbohydrates, and that food flavor plays absolutely no part. But, at the same time, they tell us that the W body would bo unable to live upon these foodstuffs were it not for the flavors. If one were compelled toeatpurefood without flavor, like the pure white of an egg, it Is doubtful whether one could, for a week at a time, consume a sufficiency of food to supply' his bodily needs. Flavor is as necessary as nul triment It gives a zest to the food and thus enables us to consume it properly, and, secondly, it stimulates the glands to secrete, so that the foods may be satisfactorily digested and as similated. The whole art of cooking, the great development of flavoring products, the high prices paid for spe cial foods like lobsters and oysters— these and numerous other factors con nected with the food supply and pro duction are based solely upon demand for flavor. Flavor is a necessity, but it is not particularly important what CJj the flavor may be. This is shown by K the fact that different people have such different tastes in this respect The garlic of the Italian and the red pepper of the Mexican serve the same purpose as the vanilla which we put in our ice cream; and all play the part of giving relish to the food and stimulating the digestive organs to proper activi'v — Popular Science Monthly.
