A German Student’s Duel.

He was first enveloped in a large ■white gaberdine. Next his throat was protected by bands of thick cloth, wound tightly round and round, until it seemed well nigh impossible for him to move his head. * The front of his body was then covered with what looked very like a dropsical cricket-pad on a large scale, extending from the chest to the knees. The sword arm, from the wrist to the shoulder, was then padded and bandaged to three • times its natural size, and the hand guarded by a thick leathern gauntlet. Lastly, a pair of spectacles, rimmed with metal, protected his eyes. The schlager, or dueling sword, is then placed in his hand—a nasty-looking weapon, about a yard and a quarter in length, quite blunt but for about ten inches at the end, where it is doubleedged, and as sharp as a razor. Thus accoutered, our hero, who was the challenging party, walks slowly forward to the middle of the ground, his right arm, which must be terrible heavy, supported by the Tuchs, or junior freshman of the Verbindung, and surrounded by his comrades and admirers. Meanwhile the same elaborate preparations had been going on at the other end of the ground, and in a few moments the men are standing opposite each other, the one small and lithe, the other a stout, heavy man, with the head and neck of a bull. Each man has his second —also partially protected by padding—who stands close by him on the left, with a blunt sword in his hand. Between the two, but at a safe distance, stands the umpire. Just behind is an attendant with a basin of water, a sponge, and a chair, while the doctors hover round the group like vultures scenting slaughter from afar. The buzz of conversation in the ring is immediately hushed as the umpire calls “ Silent.um, zur Mensur 1” and announces that two members of such and such Verbindungen will fight for fifteen minutes. Then one of the seconds gives the word to cross swords; and as the two figures iu the middle stand with right arm high in the air and swords crossed, the other second cries “Los!” and off tfiey go. The strokes, coming entirely from the wrist, rain down so rap'dly that it is almost impossible for the inexperienced eye to follow them, but as each one is guarded one hears the sharp thwack of the sword as it descends harmless on some part of the padding of the shoulder or throat. Suddenly a small tuft of hair seems to spring from the big man’s head. “Halt!” cries his opponent’s second. The swords are instantly struck up by the seconds and the umpire steps up to examine the head. It was a close shave, but the is whole, so they start again. The men are now getting terribly excited. Breathless and panting they slash away at. each other, and it is no easy matter for the seconds to stop them at the word “halt!”— London So i :ty.

Arab and Persian Horses.

The general run of Arabs are no doubt first-rate horses, as far as they go, for military purposes, but they are too small ’to mount satisfactorily any but native cavalry. There are, of course, exceptional animals, which have size and power enough for anything, but they are so few that they may be left out of the general estimate which we take of the race. 1’ or any soldier whose weight is such that he can be mounted on an Arab he will be found the hardiest, soundest, and most doei.e of war-horses. He will do an enormous amount of work on a very little and very indifferent food, and will always bear himself well and handsomely. In one point only is he, more than other horses, susceptible to disease, and that is his eye, which is liable to cataract. His great characteristic is his undaunted pluck, which is never more clearly shown than when by any chance he is ill, when all veterinary surgeons will allow that he is a most admirable patient, resisting and throwing off the effects of illness or treatment in a way that no horse of another race can equal. Persian horses have always been found among the most generaMy useful remounts in India, and they take their place both in the ranks of cavalry and in gun teams! They have more power and size than Arabs, with much of the same constitutional good qualities, and—a matter of great importance to the state—they are generally cheaper in price.— Llackwood’s Magazine.

How to Manage a Bun.

It is an imperative duty for allyoung sportsmen and even for careless older ones to observe and practice all through their lives the following rules: 1. Never in excitement nor in fun point a gun toward any human being. 2. Never carry it so that if accidentally discharged it would endanger the life of a dog even; nor when a bird is flushed, no matter how near and how temptingly the name appears, do not shoot when the si ghtest possibility exists that a companion may appear in any range of the shot. 3. Never get into or out of a wagon without taking the cartridges from the gun, and doing the same when crossing a fence? 4. After firing one barrel take the cartridge from the other and examine the wad over the shot to see that it is not loosened by the concussion, as it very frequently is, which would produce a heavy recoil or burst the gun if it has dropped well up the barrel. 5. Ne er take bold of the muzzle of a gttn to drag it toward you nor set it up, when if falling its muzzje would be toward you.

They Wouldn’t Wait for Him.

, Lady-Now, since I’ve given you a good meal, won’t you saw and split a little kindling wood for me? Tramp—Madam, nothing would give me greater pleasiue, but- I have got to catch the through freight at a siding a mile away, where she stands to permit the passage of the express on the main line. As I have sent no intimation of my intention to take this particular train it will at once b? obvious to you ' that the/will not wait for me. They will proceed as soon as the express has passed and I—madam, I will be left But in gratitude for your kindness, madam, let me give you this piece of

advice: The next tramp that comes along, make him saw before he sees your food—saw! see?— Boston Cour- ■ ier. - . ■ ■

The Accident Insurance Craze.

Accident insurance has made a steady, running growth during the present year, and seems to be a popular craze. I kpow of canvassers who are taking in as high as twenty polic es a day. All railroad men are going into it* and I find the workingmen following. Men who can carry regular insurance on their lives only take accident policies when going on journeys, but poor men, who cannot afford regular premiums want some guarantee of support if disabled. Speaking about insurance, this branch of insurance has gone into many peculiar ramifications. Did you know that railroads insure more than other corporations? Railroad cars are all insured, and the companies figure very close—so close that there is not much profit in it, the only inducement being the large amount that can be taken owing to the small quantity of property that can be destroyed at one time. Then there are tornado policies that have a large area of country to cover. \\ hen a cyclone strikes a district, the company’s agents catch all the farmers. There are also tornado companies, which insure against loss by wind. There used to be live stock companies, but several of them failed so easi y that the others lost confidence. It was easy enough to insure an animal, but it was not so easy to identify a dead beef or sheep as the same one insured. Then you can get window plate glass insured—well, I may say, anything of any value.— Globe-Democrat.

Seemingly Eradicated

With repeated and powerful doses of quinine, chills and fever, in some one of its various forms, springs into active existence again, often without the slightest apparent provocation. To extinguish the smoldering embers of this obstinate and recondite malady, no less than to subdue it when it rages fiercely in the system, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is all sufficient. When every resource of the pharmacopoeia Jias been exhausted against it in vain, the Bitters conquer it—will remove every lingering vestige of it. Nay. piore, the Bitters will protect those brought within the influence of the atmospheric poison that begets, malarial disease, from its attacks. Disorders -of the stomach, liver and bowels are among the complaints to bo apprehended from the use of miasma-tainted water. These are bith cured and prevented by the Bitters, Rheuma’ism, constipation and renal complaints yield to its action.

A Whole Town Held in Pawn.

j It may not be generally known that ! the little seapbrt town of Wismar, in ■ the Baltic, is virtually in the same position as Montague Tigg s shirt—namely, at the pawnbroker’s. It was in 1803 j that Sweden pawned the town to the Duchy of Meck.enburg for a round sum of money. It was then stipulated ■ that the town should be restored to Sweden at the end of a century, pro- ' vidcd the sum lent, together with in- : terest, were paid back to Mecklenburg. : This sum is now said to amount to’several hundred million marks, and ap- ' parently there is little chance of Wis- ! mar being able to pay it at the date , fixed.— Pall Mall Gazette.

Von Moltke Once Beaten.

La Fran e has discovered by dint of rummaging over ancient history, that 1 the great Von Mo'.tke was once beaten jby a Frenchman. It was in 1839-’JO. ; Von Molke was the military adviser of ; Hanfiz 1 asha, the Turkish commander , sent to oppose Mehemet Ali. But the i Egyptian leader had as an adviser Capt. i Beaufort d’Hautpone. In the operations on the Aleppo road this young i Frenchman checkmated Von Moltke’s moves, and his triumphant progress i was stayed only by European interventions and the treaty of London.

Very Considerate.

German professors are proverbially absent-minded, but none of them more -bo than Prof. Dusel, of I*onn. Henoticed one day his wife placing a large bouquet on his desk. “What does all that mean?” he asked. “Why, this is the anniversary of your marriage,” replied Mrs. Drusel. “Ach, Gott! Is that so! Well, let me know when yours comes around, and I’ll reciprocate.”—Texas

Three Thrilling Tales.

R is rare that a story paper can be found running, at one time, three os thrilling serial storks as are now in the Chicago Ledger. “The Hidden Clue” is a story embodying the incidents connected with the recent gigantic express robbery on the Missouri Pacific, and is of more than usual interest. “Irene; or the Iron-Worker’s Daughter. ” is one of the best serials of the times. “Cross-Purposes; or Saved at the Altar," is a serial gem, and of exceed-, ing interest It will begin in No. 23 of the Lfdger. In addition to these three great serials there is a fund of miscellaneous, useful, and interesting matter to bo found in the Ledgr columns. Sample copies sent free on application.'

In a Mexican Street.

But even in the morning there are many, interesting passers-by to see. Here will come one of the kin of James’ “solitary horseman,” flinging up an aureole of golden dust on this great highway—a rich haeiendado, just coming in from his broad acres. His riding suit will be an example of one of the few typical costumes of the country that have survived foreign innovation — the trousers widely sprung over the patent-leather boots, and buttoned down the side with silver buttons and chains; the coat short, slashed and trimmed to correspond with the trousers ; the fawn-colored sombrero, broadbrimmed and high crowned, of the finest felt, a mass of chapetas in silver filagree, and a bright-red sash loosely knotted at the waist, lending a bit of color to the picture. How well he sits his horse! twisting his mustachio with jeweled fingers and well-feigned indifference, now he knows he is observed, while he gives the beast a taste of the silver metal at his boot-heel to prove himself a veritable centaur. A well knit figure, and a well-cut, well- bred face, in spite of its ludicrous air pf grandissimo, consequential greatness—supposed to truly express his haughty Castilian spirit. You witness in him a Mexican exquisite of the first water —a landed country gentleman. His sombero alone cost in the vicinity of $75, and the silver trimmings on his suit as much more. But for anything in the way of a gentleman’s riding suit, one must admit that it is the most quietly stunning and truly captivating anywhere to be seen or conceived. Groups of little folks are to be seen, too, solemn little morsels of humanity with big dark eyes marching to and fro with their nodrizas, enjoying life with the subdued manner of octogenarians. How funny it looks to see the gold, the flax, and the light-brown of our own babies’ heads, replaced by the jet-black of these toddlers. And odder yet the fashions, which carry one back twenty years ago, low necks, white frocks, colored boots and fancy socks, their bare legs these cool mornings fairly purple in the nipping air.

“That Miss Jones is a nice-looking girl, isn’t she?” “Yes, and she’d be the belle of the town if it wasn’t lor one thing.” “What’s that?” “She has catarrh so bad it is unpleasant to be her. She has tried a dozen things and nothing helps her. lam sot ry, for I like her, but that doesn’t mufke it any loss disagreeable for one to bo arouri I her.” Now, if she had used Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Remedy, there would hjtve been nothing of the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every time.

, r f“2br P" " "J3‘r ' i The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a remedy for those delicate diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They nre fair samples of the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to them by th 6 use of this world-famed medicine.

I John E. Seoar, of Jlfißenbeek, Va., writes: “My wife had been suffering for two or three ycqrs with female weakness, and had paid out one hundred dollars to physicians without relief. She took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and it did her more good than all the medicine given to her by the physicians during the three years they had been practicing upon her.” Mrs. Georoe Hero er, of Weatfield, N. I"., Tiir PnriTrar writes: “I was a great sufferer from leucorInt UfiLATLST rhea, bearing-down pains, and pain contlnr n unlly across my back. Three bodties of your rARTHIY Hflfili ‘Favorite Prescription’ restored me to perLaninLl uuun. sect . health . J treated with Dr. . for nine months, without receiving any benefit. The ‘Favorite Prescription’ is the greatest earthly boon to us poor suffering women.”

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in thia way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only aymptoma caused by some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering pai’ent gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, lik" Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

3*^ Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of No. 71 Lexington St., PHYSICIANS East Boston, Mass., says: “ Five years ago 1 • i in viuihhu a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles. FAILED Having exhausted the skill of three phyhiuuu. sicians. I was completely discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended in his ‘Common Sense Medical Adviser.’ I commenced to improve at once. In three months I’was perfectly cured, and have had.no trouble sinee. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them, and enclosing a stamped-en~ velope for reply. I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described my case and the treatment used, and have earnestly advised them to ‘do likewise.’ From a great many I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the use of ‘Favorite Prescription,’ had sent the 81.50 required for the ‘Medical Adviser,’ and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much better already.”

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel ana Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of thjs great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested it in the more aggravated and obstinate crises which had baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of Buffering women. It is not recommended as a “ cure-all.” but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the uterus, or womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, “worn-out," run-down.” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girlg,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pieroe's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequalled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assimilation of food.
