A TRAGIC DUEL.

Last year I went to Besancon to attend a friend's wedding. His bride wns the daughter of one of the wealthiest and best known families in the city and the affair was a most brilliant one. "When we were about quitting tbe table after the wedding feast, I felt a hand upon my shoulder. 1 turned. Before me stood a young captain of dragoons, a handsome, dashing fellow, with curly blond hair. "You do not recognize roe," said he, smiling. "In truth," said I, hesitating, "Icannot remember"— "I am Gustavo Raisant, your old chum. Why, I remember well the first day you came to the sobool. You advanced toward me as I stood in the playground and said, 'Lend me some marbles.' I lent you some, and we became fast friends at once, and our friendship lasted for three years."

I grasped his hand warmly, and we at once began to talk over old times together. It is always with a certain degree of pleasure that one meots an old chum of school or college. So we e^iausted the subject of school days and took up our present prospects. Gustave told me that his were excellent ho would soon have a commission as major, a lucky advancement for so young a man. When I prepared to leave, he accompanicd me to the station, and after a cordial farewell we separated.

Months panscd, and I hoard no more of GuBtavo. Finally one morning I saw his namo In the Journal Offlclol and noted with pleasure that ho had received his expected promotion. With his commission he had received orders dotailing him to a garrison at Maubcuge, on the Belgian frontier.

Ono August evening I was taking a stroll in tho Champs Elysees. It was a little after 9, and around me was the usual gay crowd of a summer night—promenaders by tho hundrod merry people seated at the little tables in front of the cafes, smoking, drinking and ohatting to the right a oafe concert, its front hung with colored lanterns. Beforo mo the long Avenue dos Champs Elysees extended, its hundreds of lights glimmering like glowworms in tho dark. Suddenly I saw a familiar faco by tho light of a stroot lamp. It was Gustavo Raisant. "Hollo, major!" said I, oxtondlng my band. "Well met!" "Ah, is it you?" said ho languidly. "1 am glad to sco you."

Ills tone struck mo. I looked at him attentively. Ho seemed to have a god much since I had scon him beforo. Already there were gray hairs showing around his temples. Linking my arm with his, I said: "Come, let's tako a stroll." "Willingly."

After wc had walked sonio littlo distance I gavo up attempting to make him convevso. Ho soomcd entirely destituto of interest in any topic that might bring up. and plunged into melancholy. "Como, como, Gustavo," said I, "yom have something on your mind, haven't you?"

Ho hesitated a moment, but finally replied: "Yes." "A Jovo affair, I'll bo sworn."

Ho wns silent, and I repeated my somewhat brusque remark. There are some wounds that will not boar probing.

Suddenly be spoko. "Listen," said ho, "and I shull toll you tho oauso of my melancholy. Perhaps I am wrong to chofo under it as I do perhaps you may glvo mo some good advice.* In any event, I shall tell you my story. Slnco I Inst saw yon there has been a tragical ovent In my lift'. Oh, you have heard nothing of it. Thanks to the people at lioadquartors, tho papers wore silenced, and I won't bore you—my story isn't long, and," ho added bitterly, "I think It is interesting. But it is old—tho old story of tho parents' sins being expiated by the children."

Ho knocked tho ash from his cigar, and thon ho slowly told his story: "Lust June, as you may know, tho reservo forces wore ordorod out for their yearly service. Wo had somo of them at Maubcuge, whoro I had been stationed with the Fifty-sixth for a month. One morning I was about to start for Lillo, on regimental business, in company with a brother olllcer of my roglmont. Wo stepped into a largo eating houso to tako a chop beforo the train lei* It was a very large establishment, with marble tables around tho room, and at ono end was a long bar, whero those with light purees were allowed to take refreshments. Our table was near the bar, and at tho timo we seated ourselves there was a long lino of privato soldiers and laborers drinking there. Wo talked of various matters, and my companion said: 'Have you the son of any celebrity among your recruits?' 'Yes,' said I, 'young Myrian, son of tho woU known painter, Is in my command. And you?' 'Well, I have the son of aoelehrity, too, but of a different kind. It is young George de Ferisset.1 'What, not the son of Mme. de Ferisset —pretty lie Ferisset?' 'The same.' "I laughed heartily as I said: "'Well, wolll So Do Ferisset has a grown up son, has she? How the time flies 1 I was dreadfully in love with the woman onoe, but another fellow won her not undivided favors.' 'And I, too,' replied my companion, 'I was a little spoony on her. But, then, you know, I always had scruples about married women.' 'Oh, you were wrong,* I replied. 'She was well worth tho trouble. And, then, poor De Ferisset! The type of an unsuspecting husband! She had SO lovers to my knowledge, and he never knew it.' "I had scarcely finished speaking when stripling soldier quitted his comrades and advanced toward me. His face was as White as a sheet. His emotion was so great that he trembled as he walked, with bis aaber clattering at his heels. When be reached our table, he glared at me for a moment with wild yet indecisive eyes and then raised his band to strike me. There was a hurried movement, an outcry, and several of tbe soldiers around leaped upon him and held bis band. He struggled tar

I moment, then was calm. Still gazing at me, he said in a choking voice: 'She Is my mother.' "In a moment I realized the hldeons Insult I had offered him. I tingled with shame. What could have possessed me that morning I do not know. No officer or gentleman would ever speak ill of a woman—least of all in public. 'Let him go!' I cried to the soldiers. I rose, removed my cap, and, bowing, said: 'Sir, I place myself at your disposition.' "At this moment tbe whistle of the approaching train was heard. My friend grasped my arm and dragged me to tbe station without, where we took the train for Lille. p-ffic "As sodn'ns'I could do so I hastened to the general commanding our division. I told him all. As you may imagine, be reprimanded me severely. 'What,' said he,'an officer of your rank to babble thus in public, like a raw boy just out of the military school! It is the fault of the war department. They should not promote men so young as you to positions of importance.' "I privately thought that if I bad been a general the affair would have been tbo same. But I so richly merited his severe language that I did not reply. 'Well,' said be finally, 'what ,do you propose to do?' 'There is but one course open to ine, general,' I replied. 'I have grievously offended this young man. I have therefore placed myself at his disposition. We must fight.' 'A duel! You are mad! A major cannot go upon the field with a private soldier.' 'General, you must allow me to say that there are certain insults eo grave that military usage must yield to them. Grant me permission to do this.' 'But I cannot. I have no right to do so.' 'Then telegraph the minister of war.' "'He will refuse.' 'Well, if that be tho case, I shall notify George de Ferisset, and we will fight in Belgium.' 'Then you desert?' 'Yes, general, I will desert and then return for my punishment. I have once dishonored myself in publicly insulting a woman. I shall not again do so in refusing satisfaction to her son.' "Tbo general's perplexity and anger began to pass away. Ho seemed moved. He strode up and down the room for some moments, and finally, turning to me, said: 'Bo it so. Do as you will. Bear in mind, though, that I know nothing of this affair. This conversation has not taken plaoe.' "I thanked him and repaired to my quarters. That evening De Ferisset's seconds arrived. They were civilians, as were also the two friends whom I named to arrange matters with them. Tbe weapon chosen was tho sword, the hour 6 o'olook tho following morning, the place a little village just within the Belgian'frontier. I put my affairs in order that night, for I had determined to offer but slight defense. "At the appointed hour the next day we were thero. It was a raw, drizzly morning, and the mud was ankle deep. De Ferisset appeared in uniform. One of my seconds remarked that ho, like the rest of us, should have come as a civilian. He replied that ho had been insulted as man and soldier, and that reparation was due to him as such. I made a sign to my second, and ho did not insist. "Wo took our places. Ib was a curious spectacle—a private soldier in his uniform facing his superior officer in mufti. "Tho swords wore crosscd. The word was given. I watched his faco with feverish curiosity. In his eyes thero was tbo sanio glare of tho day beforo, tho same indecision. .Suddenly a strange smilo appeared upon his lips—the smilo of a broken heart—a siuile I shull never forgot though I live a hundred years. Quick as a flash ho abandoned his guard, and, grasping my sword with his left hand, bo hurled nimsolf upon it. It ran him through the body. Uttering a hoarso cry, ho fell backward. A bloody foam tinged his polo lip3. A convulsive shudder ran over his body, another, then a groan. Ho was dead."

I listened with horror to his story. Ho noticed my looks, but -vent doggedly on: "Of course I had not killed him—I had evon resolved not to defend myself, and I quitted tho army. But still I feel like a murderer I feel as though I had committed a crlmo. When I think of that poor boy—loyal to his mother, bud though she was—slain in tho first flush of youth, I feel like an assassin. And think of that wretched mother! How she must mourn her bravo boy's fall!"

It was growing late tho people wero pouring out of tho cafes concerts. Now and thon a passerby would bum over the latest comic song. Strange contrast! The follios of the song mingled with tbo words of tho somber drama just unrolled before me. Gustavo walkod on by iny sido, with bent bead, crushed by the weight of his tragio story.

And still tho Champs Elyseos swarmed with people. Around us was the intense life of a summer night in frivolous Paris. On the avenue woro innumerable carriages and all around gayly dressed loungers on tbe iron chairs.

As my oyo roamed carelessly over them I saw one group, tho center of which was a woman of 45, but still very beautiful. Sho was dressed richly and tastefully and bore in her hand a bouquet which a smirking dandy had just presented to her. I could not repress an exclamation. Gustave followed my eyes. "What!" be cried, "it cannot be she?" "Yes," I answered him, "it is Mme. de Ferisset."—From the French For Argonaut.

The Paper William Morris Used* Mr. Morris was no advocate for thick paper, but he bad long before found out that machine made paper of wood pulp and clay wns useless for permanent results, to say nothing of tbe uninteresting quality of its surface. Tho latter failing is a factor by no means unimportant in tbe beauty of a book. Much of oar shiny, calendered paper is, besides, trying to the eyes. He was forced to resort to the plain, honest way of tbe old time paper makers. Unbleached linen rags were used, and molds whose wires were not woven with abso lute mechanical accuracy, thus obtaining a sort of variety in tbe surface.

This paper was made expressly for him by Mr. Batch el or, at little Chart, near Aahford, and "resembles tbe paper of tbe early printers in all Its best qualities." Three water marks were'designed by him for pap«r of different aims "tbe apple, tbe daisy and tbe perch with a spray in its mouth each of tbeae devices being accompanicd by the Initials W. iL"—Pratt Institute Monthly.

The Love* of an Architect^^^^ The architect, says Russell Stnrgis In Tbo Atlantic, must possess a love of building, and of heavy stones, and of good bricks, and of stout, solid walla and of handsome timbers, handsomely cut and framed. He must even love the new material, wrought and rolled iron and steel, for its great and as yet only partly known capabilities. When one is asked by a wonld be student of architecture about his (the student's) chances of succeeding as an architect, it is very good to find out what his proclivities are and whether he is merely interested in fine art and seized with the idea that architecture is an easy, fine art to study and to practice.

The architect shonld love the quarries and should visit them with eager curiosity. The cleavage of stone and its appearance in its natural bed shonld be not only a delight to him, bnt an object of close study. The architect shonld love the lumber yard, not to say the forest To him the timber in itself should be a thing delightful to stndy and its possible uses delightful to contemplate. The architect should love the brickyard, and experiments in cements and in mortars should be his holiday amusement. Andi finally, the architect mnst have such an eye and such a soundness of judgment that bgd work cannot escape him. A familiarity'with details not unlike that of a good master builder he must combine with a knowledge of principles and of possibilities far beyond that of the master builder, so that good work will come to his buildings as of inevitable sequenoe, and bad or even slighted work will be imnossmie in vaeu

The Antarctic Region.

It is a ourious fact that while enormous sums of money and property of great value have been appropriated and used in exploring the more northerly portions of thif globe little or no attention has been given to the extreme southern part. Of late, however, the eyes of explorers have been turned antarctioward, and expeditions are being sent out to determine various debatable questions that have arisen concerning this country. No human foot, as far as known, has ever approached nearer to tbe south pole than 720 miles. The ice is said to far exceed that found at the north pole, and greater difficulties are apprehended than arctic explorers have ever encountered. Vegetation ceases at about 58 degrees, no mau has yet been met with south of 56 degrees, and the country is destitute of land animals south of 68 degrees. Mountains with towering peaks have been discovered, and volcanoes are thought to be numerous. Whether the intense heat of the latter may exert any influence upon the climate in their vicinity is a question of interest to the soientiflo world.—New York Ledger.

A Fowl Roasted Beside Him. Tin plat8 workers have to bear great heat, bnt few can realize the heat which the human body can bear without injnry.

Ai the beginning of the oentury several interesting though highly dangerous experiments were made by different men, chiefly foreigners, with reference to this subject*-

The first man who risked his life in thiB manner was a Spaniard of Andalusia, near Martenez, aged 43, who gave an exhibition of the most extraordinary feats on July 26, 1828, at the New Tivoli, Paris. His performance took place in the presence of 200 persons, among whom were many professors, savants and physiologists, specially invited by the physician Robertson, the director of the establishment

A cylindrical oven, constructed in the shape of a dome, had been heated for four hours by a very powerful fire. At 8:10 the Spaniard, dressed in loose pantaloons of red flannel, a long Spanish cloak and a felt sombrero,#went into the oven.

He remained in it, seated on a footstool, for 14 minutes, with the metallic thermometer registering between 45 and 50 degrees, the latter being the highest graduation on it.

He sang a Spanish song while a fowl was roasting by his side. When he came out, a committee of physicians found his pulse beating 134 pulsations a minute, although it had only been 72 on his going in.—London Standaxd

Tlie Ruined California Grape Crop. The partial loss of the grape crop tins year, caused by the heavy rains, is estimated to exceed $1,000,000. Farmers and vineyards|pll over the northern part of the state ha' sufferecf. While this is true, it is equal a fact that lost and failing strength may be restored by the persistent, systematic use of the great national tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which renews and tones the activity of the stomach, liver and the bowels, counteracts a tendency to rheumatism and kidney complaint, and prevents malarial disorders. After exhausting diseases have run their course, recovery is greatly accelerated by the use of the Bitters, which improves appetite and imparts renewed vigor to the debilitated physique.

Rebecca Wilkinson, of Brownsvalley, Ind., says: "I have been in a distressed condition for three years from nervousness, weakness of tbe stomach, dyspepsia and indigestion until my health was gone. I had been doctoring constantly with no relief. I bought one bottle of South American Nervine, which did me more good than any 150 worth of doctoring I ever did in my life.
