An extraordinary duel, which St tbs time created an Immense sensation, was on# In which the decision was ar rived at not by swords or pistole, hot by means o f a deadly poison. The men—who. It la hardly necessary to say. had fallen out over a lady—had left the arrangement o f details to their seconds, and until they faced each oth er they did not know by what Method they were to settle their differences One o f the seconds was s doctor, and be had made up for the occasion four black pellets, all Identical In slat and shape. “ In one of these,“ be said. “ I hare placed a sufficient quantity o f prussic add to cans« ths almost Instantaneous death o f any one who swallows t t We will decide by the toss o f a coin which o f yon la to have flrat choice, and yon will alternately draw and swallow a pill until the poison shows Its effects.’ T w o o f the pellets were then taken aa the toes had decided, bnt without effect in either case. “ This time.“ Bald the doctor, speak ing o f the two pellets remaining, “yon mast both swallow the pill at the same Instant” The choice was again made, and In a few seconds one o f the men lay dead on the grass.—Pall Mall Gasette.

Scribbler looked toward the window as a possible avenue o f escape. H ow ever. before be could make up his mind to try the ralnspout route the doer opened cautiously, and Bret Slumpkins’ bald bead appeared and then the rest o f him crept slowly In. Jn a whisper he advised Scribbler not to pay Mr*. Blumpklns. lnsomnch as she was not the head o f the boose. Scribbler acquiesced and Slumpkins disappeared. ** A tittle later another rap on the door, this time more Insistent canned Scrib bler to look up. It was Mrs. Slumpkins. “ Say. don't pay my old man any mon ey. Mr. Scribbler. H e won’t do nothing but drink tt up. This morning I had to let him know who runs this house.

One of the common troubles with canaries and one that few bird owners realize la that of nervousness. The nervous system o f a canary Is as high ly sensitive as that o f a delicate wo rn. Any eudden shock to their senses, whether o f sight or sound, la liable to throw them Into convulsions, that often result in death. An old bird dealer mentions a frequent but rarely known cause of sickness and even death among the little creatures. “ I had two canaries,” he said, “ that for some reason 1 could not discover fell Into a frightfully nervous state and started to pine away. I doctored them with all the remedies known to bird lore, but the poor creatures continued to droop in dismal decline A t last I discovered the trouble It was mice “ Mice are as fond o f bird seeds as canaries themselvee In the darkness o f the night the mice would creep through the bars o f the cage and de vour the seeds, while the poor little canaries aat above shivering them selves Into a state o f nervous prostra tion fro/n the very terror o f the mon sters below.
