Don’t treat children’s troubles light

those of grown-up people. Don’t fail
to instill a deep sense of kindness to
dumb aninials—a cruel boy generally
makes a cruel man. Don’t neglect an
untruth or dishonorable action—teach
your children to face these out and it

PREVENTION
THE BEST SAFEGUARD
If for any cause the horse or other,
domestic animal exhibits a lack of energy,
proper relish for food, or an appearance
of general debility, timely action should
be taken for the restoration of its health.
In the natural food of our domestic
animals Nature provides certain peculiar
medicinal herbs, leaves, barks and roots
which seem necessary for their health.
Pacific Stock Food in greatly condensed
form is intended to supply the essential
virtues of those health-giving natural
remedies and is prepared expressly for
those animals deprived” by man of their
natural food. It is an alterative tonic
which stimulates the various organs of
the body, promotes the secretions, tones
up the general system and restores the
disordered conditions to a normal state.
It stimulates the appetite, improves the
digestion and assimilation of food,*purifies
the blood and insures a good, healthy
condition. Booklet free.

At least four of England’s prime
ministers entered the “field of honor,”
<a “Student of the Code,” in a letter to.
the New York Sun says. The Duke of
Wellington challenged the Earl of
•Winchelsea in consequence of the.
earl’s rerharks on the Catholic ques
tion. They met in Battersea fields.
Lord Winchelsea received the duke’s
fire and then fired in the air.
The Rt.-Hon. William Pitt was chal
lenged by George Tierney, president
of the board of control, on account of
certain objectionable remarks made in
the House of Commons. They met on
Putney common. Two shots were ex
changed and Pitt fired the third time
in the air, when a reconciliation was
effected.
. George Canning met Lord Castle-
reagh on Putney common. They fought
in sight of the windows of the house
in which Pitt died. Both missed. At
the next exchange Castlereagh’s ball
entered Mr. Canning’s thigh, inflict
ing a slight wound. The two states
men assumed their places for a third
shot, when the seconds, seeing the
blood streaming from Mr. Canning’s
wound, put an end to the combat.
Benjamin Disraeli likened Daniel
O’Connell to the impenitent thief on.
the cross. O’Connell also used lan
guage which was not parliamentary,
and Disraeli offered to castigate the
Irishman. O’Connell declined to meet
him. Disraeli then challenged Morgan
O’Connell, the accuser’s *son, but Mor
gan O’Connell also declined to meet a
Jew on a “field of honor.’’
Curran, the Irish orator, fought four
duels. The, first was with Capt. St.
Leger, who had insulted an Irish Ro
man Catholic priest. The captain fired,
but Curran did not. “It was not nec
essary for »me to.fire at him,” the Irish
wit afterward wrote; “the gallant cap
tain died three weeks after the duel
of the report of his pistol.”-
The next affair was with Attorney
General for Ireland Fitzgibbon. The
parties were to fire at pleasure. Cur
ran fired first, and then Fitzgibbon
took aim for nearly a minute. On its
proving ineffectual Curran remarked:
“It was not your fault, Mr. Attorney;
you were deliberate enough!” The
third duel was with John Egan, an
Irish barrister who had the nickname
of Bully. Egan was “of immense size,
as brawny and • almost as black as a
coal porter.” Curran was facetious on
the subject of Egan’s size, and they left
the field reconciled. Egan became
Curran’s, second in Curran’s fourth
and last duel, with Lord Buckingham
shire.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan fought
Mr. Matthews, “a gentleman of fash
ion,” at Bath in order to vindicate the
reputation of Miss Linley. It was
done in theatrical style. They fought
with swords and great courage and
skill were displayed on both sides.
Sheridan disarmed his adversary and
Compelled him to sign a formal retrac
tion. Mr. Matthews again challenged
Mr. Sheridan. The parties met on
King’s Down. The battle was desper
ately contested. After a discharge of
pistols they fought with swords. Both
were wounded and fell to the ground,
where they continued to fight until the
seconds separated them. It was found
that Matthews’ sword was actually
broken off in Sheridan’s ear.
, «A ■ Mite Too Prying.”
Bushby had many natural advan-
tages and beauties, but Mrs. Abner
Crane, who was a brief sojourner in
the place, having been there only a
matter of ten, years or so, never appre
ciated it. “She was aching to get
back to Nashuy the whole enduring
time,” said one of Mrs. Crane’s Bushby
neighbors, “and I was glad to see her
go, feeling as she did.”
“What was it she didn’t like about
Bushby?” asked one of the summer
residents, curiously.
“She said she ‘didn’t get the news 0’
the day quick enough to suit her,’ ”
quoted the neighbor, with as near an
imitation of Mrs. Crane’s air as she
could manage.*
“As I said to my Asy, what on earth
she wanted more than we have in the
way 0’ news-spreaders here, I don’t
know.
“When you consider that there are
five telephones in town, a grocery wa
gon driven by Lucy Grant’s boy twice
a week, Lucy Grant herself to sew for
everybody-in town by the day, and all
taking milk from Jed Kimball, I don’t
know how we could be any better
fixed. I call anybody that wants more
news ’0 the day than Bushby folks get
a mite too prying; myself.”
