The proprietor of the raataurant, not waning i nave any aiataroaoee, re queated the party to adjourn to a itoall room op atalra for the purpoae of aot- uiiig uie uimuuity, Olouaaonx opened the dlacttaahtn, aay Ing auinily, 'Itaoema to me, gcntltmien, that my friend Ramonat cannot be ei- iietited to take blow withotit demand ing aatlKfuctioii."

After a abort walk tliuy reached the spot, uud Dr. KuuhhcIR a jolly, round faced peraon, aaid cheerily! "At the watchman s cottage there la a well stocked barnyard and an excellent nanpond. 1 have ueeu thert before. While we wuit I will go and order din ner, Do you like duck?" "Very much," aid Olouasoux, "but tuppose they arrive while you are gone," "The ducka?" "No, our principals.'' "They can begin without me, Do you prefer the i roasted or fricasseed? How would eela go with onions? Do you like eels?" "I adore thorn," aaid Monpate; "but you can lianlly gut hack iu time, and you will certainly ho needed," "Do you apprehend serious conse uuuuceH?" asked the doctor in surprise. "Are the combatant very dery?" "Hardly that," replied Glousseux alowly, "but my prlucipal is a man of honor" "And mine ia full of pluck," added Monpate. "Very wolll FiBh, eel a la matelotte, roast dnclc," said the doctor. "I shall not be gone long," and he hurried away. The hour fixed for the arrival of the principal approached. "Your watch is fast," laid GIouhubux, and after wailing a little he announced, "In five minute they will be here," but they were not. Glousseux paced up and down impa tiently and Monpate smpked a cigar in sullen silence. Ten minute passed, fif teen, twenty-five, and yet the combat ant di'd not come. Glousseux looked at hi watch, hold it up to Monpate and said in a slightly Ironical .toqej Five Cents Per Copy. Highest of all in Leavening "Your man ha not arrlvedl" "Nor your," retorted the other. 'He hat been detained, that is all. Be quite sure he will explain satisfactorily." "Bo will mine." "It ia hardly probable that both should meet with delay," muttered Glotuv eaox. "Very true, bnt why not M. Pelgnot?" "And why not M. Ramonetr "How do 1 know that he hi tended to come at all?" "Bir? I can answer for my friend's honor." "But not for bia courage! Very likely he 1 now seated tn hi armchair at home," "And where ia your friend, may I askr "Your tone is insulting, air, and I do not brook InaulU any more than my client doe," "If you are not more ready to resent them than be is" "M. Monpate, it is enough. I demand satbfaction." "Certainly, yon shall have it when ever yon wih." "I wish it now!" The next tuatant they had tbrqwn off their coata, eetsod the sword and begun to fight. Just then Rajjonet and Pieg not appeared on the ekvae. They were walking arm in arm and convening cheerfully, and whan they caught sight of the combatanta they exclaimed in urpruie: "Ktopl Stop!" At the same moment Dr. Rouaaelle arrived, braathltwe but radiant. "It will he delirious," be began, and then added In dismay! "so they have begun It without waiting for mel "Stop them!" cried Ramonet and Pelgnot, and the combataut. hearing them, left on brandishing the sworda. "Ah, here ia tha uiau you suspected of cowardice," eried Qlouux, and Ramonat exclaimed, "Absurd," with an air of great dignity. ' "Ber is he whose honor yon i sailed," said MonpaW- "He was (peaking tn Jest," oUard Pelgnot ealuily. The two seconds looked at each other for a minute and bunt into peal of laughter. "What la the oae of our fighting with each other tn defence of these two cow ardaf" oried Glowuenx. "Permit me" began Peignot, bat Monpate interrupted him withi "I will permit you to do nothing ex cept pay tor the dinner." "The duck are roasting, and the nintclotte 1 excellent," said the doctor. "Come, let u go, or everything will be spoiled. Everybody's honor ia vindi cated, I am sure," "Ernest, are yon satisfied?" asked Ramonet "Porfectly so, Alfred," wa Peignot's reply. - Then the whole party shook hand and went off in high spirit. Translated from the French of Jules Moinaux by Isabel Smithaon for Romance. Tin of III Talk. At a recent trial In Scotland a certain lady got Into the witneaa box to be ex amined, when the following conversa tion took place between her and the op posing counsel: . Counsel How old are you? Mis Jane Ob, weel, ir, I am an un married woman, and dlnna think it right to answer that question, Tire Judge Oh, yea, answer the gen tleman. How old are you? Mia Jane Weel-a-woel, I am fifty. Counsel Are you not more? Mis Jane Weel, I am sixty. The inquisitive lawyer Btill further asked if she hud any hows of gotting married, to which Miss Jane replied: "Weel, sir, I winna tell a lee; I hlnna lost hope yet," scornfully adding, "but 1 widna marry yon, for I am sick and tired o' your palaver already."

THE BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY. Continued from last week. But the supply of -the home article Is not the only advantage to be gained. I refer to the eireot of the beet orop on the soil. Properly carried on; the cul tlvatlou of the augur beet Is greatly beneficial to nil other ogrloullure. The deep and careful cultivation which the beet requires greatly Improves the land, the noil becoming thereby deep: eued and tho disintegration and solu tion of the mineral constituents greatly accelerated. The tap root of the beet descends to a great depth loosening tho soli which most otbor plants fall to reach. The nourish ment thus obtained passes partly into the leaves and Is left with them on the ground at the time of harvest, I and to-day in Europe the farmers are anxious to plant beets, as they find their next orop grown on the same soil la increased 83 per cent. The pulp, after the sugar Is removed, m akes an excellent food for fattening cattle, and can be sold to the farmers for little on nothing after paying them liberally for the privilege of extraotiog the sugar.
