7,fa.O and MM livca liiiring the twenty
y-ai of Henry IV.'a reign, wua at Ita
bclgbt when bl foil tiimo to the
tliroiie, 'JTnt council of Trent In 1345
huil aolcinnly condemned the practice
of jlngl ciiiiibut, linimrtlally Includ
ing pi'liH-lpul. sui-oud and pe5tutor
lu It pcuiilly of cxi-oiiuminU-atlon. In
lij(i2 an edict of Henry prouoiiuced the
"duiuiinlile ciiHtoiu of dueling Intro
duced by the t-orruptlou of the cen
tury" to las the cnuae of ao many pile
oua accident, to tbo extreme regret
and (Jlwiliiuiire of the king and to the
Irreparable iliimngo of tbo atflte, "that
we should count ountt'lrea tinwortby
to bold the a-eiiter If we dolaywl to
rcprex the enormity of tbl crime.
A whole aerie of edict followed to
the aiime effect, but It waa easier to
miike etlliU than to enforce tbui.
Degradation, Itiipriaoument, conflaca,
tlou of property, loaa of lvll rlglita
and death were the penaltlee attached
to the Infringement of the lawa agninat
dueling, and allll the practice pre
Tailed. Io UXM Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibitum. Tbe first
offense waa no longer capital, a third
only of the offeudor'a property waa to
be confiscated, and the Judge were
permitted to recognize extenuatlug clr-j
cuniKtaiicea.
A few mouth later the Cotute An.
Buutevllle thouglit lit to test tbo min-j
later' patience In thla direction. The
I'tace Hoyale bad long been a favorite
dueling ground, and Ix Boulevllle
traveled from Itrusaela to fight bis
twenty -eecond duel here, In tbe heart
of Part, In deliberate defiance of the'
king's authority. Tbe result waa cot
encouraging. Montmorency though be
was, tbe count went with bla eecond'
to the scaffold, and tbe marked de
crease from that time lu the number!
of duela may bo attributed either to
tbe uioUerntiou used lu framing thej
luw or to tbe Inexorable rwwlutlou j
with which It wa euforced. Macmll

Dr. Hwlwea' Heee.
When "Tlw I-nat lAmf' waa publish
ed by Oliver Wendell Holme a critic
attacked It aavagely and cruelly. Dr.
Holme, though Importuned by friends,
did nothing In revenge. H waited for
time to avenge blra, which time did
liberally. The critic fell upon evil
day ami ended hi existence with ul
cUle. The only morcean of personal
revenge which the good dotrtor allowed
himself waa to cut out the paragraph
about hla enemy's career and paste
It in bl scrupbook on the aame page
Which contained the original crlticlam
and the announcements of the succes
sive editloua of the poem. This was a
mild revenge, but even tbl waa un
worthy of Dr. Holmes.

The first idnnting of cotton aeed In
the colonies w aa In tbe Carolina In th
year 1021, when seeds were planted as
an experiment In a garden. Wintbrop
aaya that lu 1643 "men fell to th
manufacture of cotton, whereof wt
hare great atores from Barbados." Is
1736 It waa cultivated In tbe gardens
along Chesapeake bay, especially in the
vicinity of Baltimore, and at tbe open
ing of tbe Revolution it was a garden
plant In New Jeraey and New York,
but Its real value aeema to have been
almost unknown to tbe planters until
about 1780.
The Cfcaateleaa.
The American chameleon, a email lla
ard, inhabits various parts of tbe south
ern t'nlted Slate. Tbe little animal
baa the remarkable bablt of quickly
and completely changing ita color,
varying from brown to yellow and pale
green. Ita food conalat of insects.
The little animal la perfectly harmless
to higher forms of life. I often kept
