DUELS AT ANNAPOLIS

A CUSTOM THAT CULTIVATES THE FIGHTING QUALITIES OF CADETS.

it( Tery Few Go Through the Four Tears

:-'i

Without aa Appearance on the Field of Honor—The Contests Strictly by Boles and Referees.

Writers may write and preachers may preach, bnt the' world—our world at least 1 —will take to its brms theboy who is as I anxious to fight as to play. It predicts great things of him and is willing to help him along. 'Out of these battles come blackened-eyes :and bloody noses, but not any harm. Self confidence is born of them ke^and the ability to make the hand guard ||the head. There used to be an old fellow Mjpjin Goliad county, Tex., who expressed hia flutter condemnation of a neighbor in this |l$|way: "Smite him on one cheek and he'll j||||turn the other. Smite him on the other |p||land he'll have you arrested." Then he b'. Ispat in disgust.

It is not known that the authorities of the Naval academy at Annapolis encourage fighting. There is nothing in the published rules urging the cadets to follow the advice of, dead Sam Randall and "get together" as often as possible. But it is certain that they do not discourage it. There are tales among the embryo admirals, handed down from class to class, of how the preceptors have stood afar and watched the battles through spyglasses, grunting at each well delivered blow and betting gleefully among themselves on the results. The consequence of this laxity ie that the younger cadets—those in theii first year—come in a very^ttle while to beliorve that the powers are very friendly to a fighter and would offer active encouragement to fighters if it were necessary— which it isn't. This state of affairs does not conduce to study, but iVdoes conduce to the development of muscle and the fattening of the fighting instinct. Not long ago a cadet took leg leave of the academy and wandered into Baltimore, where he spliced a multiplicity of main braces.

As a result he first whipped a cab driver, then whipped a friend of the cab driver, and then whipped two policemen who had waked up in time to see the end of th« fray. He got back to the grounds badly battered, but standing up well under his canvas. The affair made some noise and persona went to Washington to obtain the cadet' dismissal. There they met'' Fighting" Bob Evans and mistakeniy detailed the circumstances, requesting his influence. "What!" bellowed that veteran. "Dismiss a boy like that! Licked four men in one night? Damme, sirs, are you crazy? What in the blue do you think a naval officer is for? When he graduates, give him to me. Put him on my ship. I want 100 like him."

In the matter of thumping his fellow there are certain rules governing the cadet. They are leges non scriptw, but ironclad nevertheless. The epithet "liar" must be resented with an instant blow. All insults must be accounted for on the spot. The only spote exempt are the chapel and (i classroom. The combatants are immediately separated by any one standing near,

A first year man is permitted to separata seniors. After that the code has play. The combatants name two seconds each. These I lay the matter before a member of the senior class. He fixes the place and date 1 of the encounter. The place is always an open space behind the gymnasium. It is not turf, but is ground worn bare and hardened by many feet. It has been redI dened timo and again by the best blood in

America. The time is always the afternoon of some Saturday. The rules are Marquis of Queensbarry—three minute It rounds with a minute rest between. The exception is that no gloves are used.

Wrestling is not permitted, of course. Occasionally, however, when one of the "ri combatants has had two years' training in the sparring school and the other is a newcomer, the old style of "rough and tumble" fracas is allowed.

Always a senior class man is master oi ceremonies, appellate court and supreme court in these fistic litigations. The seconds are there to handle their men, but all points of dispute are submitted to the senior. His decision is never questioned. A fight is fought out until one of the men is deemed incompetent by his seconds, who throw up the sponge. Then he is borne to the hospital. The sponge never goes up until he is made fit for a cot. Woe to the warrior who cries enough or quits when he is able to continue. Nothing is left him save to depart to civil life. His classmates and the men in his dormitory will not speak to him. He is "coyentried." There is no instance where these bare knuckle duels have had a fatal termination. The participants are endowed with the blessing of youth and are always in condition.

It sometimes happens that a cadet goes through his four years at Annapolis without an appearance on the field of honor, but the occurrence is as rare as a black 6wan. The courage of such men is looked on with gravest suspicion by their comrades. Indeed a fight is regarded a necessary complement to an education and escape would seem impossible to any man who could be made to resent an insult

All of this does no harm. Enmities end with the duel. It is required that this should be so. The opposing youngsters become faster friends than ever. Is it Sir Lucius O'Trigger who says: "It is astonishing how well you like a man when you have fought with him?" War is a professioft with these wards of the government. With them courage is a necessity. Encb In 2 battle strengthens it. The cheeks of fond mothers at home would blanch if they know that their darlings were pommeled, but their respocted and respectable fathers |re$ would dance upon ene leg and howl with !pj| delight. It is in us and it cannot be talked out or bred out. As "Fighting Bob" inquires, "What in the blue 6heol are naval officers for?"—Chicago Times-Herald.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION."'

Captain Cook's Pioneer Labors In the Icy Southern Regions. To Captain James Cook, the ex-collier boy of Whitby, belongs the imposing honor of being the first to essay the oxplora,tion of the dreaded regions beyond the .parallel of 60 degrees south. There is indeed on record a somewhat haey account of an involuntary incursion made by Captain Dirk Gerritsz, a Dutch navigator, who by stress of weather was driven from the strait of Magellan as far south as the sixty-fourth degree 170 years before Cook's voyage. Land was reported by Gerritz,

HE FACED DEATH.

How Garibaldi I.ooked Into the Muzzles of the Guns at Naples. On the 7th Garibaldi announced his intention of entering N'aples. He left his army behind him and advanced alone with a few staff ojlicers to capture the city in the teeth of the Neapolitan garrison.

The vast populations of Torre del Greco, Resina and Portici turned out, covered the lines, climbed on the train, so that it had to stop more than once. At a snail's pace the carriages' of the invaders approached Naples. The scene now baffles all description. Swarms of lazzaroni, gaping Neapolitan gendarmes, stupefied national guards, rival-committees with rival flags, all mixed up together, deafening shouts of "Yiva Garibaldi! Viva Victor Emmanuel! Viva l'ltalia!" blended together with drums, trumpets and a general pandemonium attempting Garibaldi's hymn in a hundred different places. As the carriages advanced, the Castle Nuovo and the fortress of St. Elmo, bristling with cannon and crowded with sullen Neapolitan soldiers, who alone took no part in the festival of liberty, hove in sight. The cannon were pointed, the matches lighted. They waited-the word of command to fire.

On rode Majors Missori and Millo on horseback. Garibaldi and Gosenz followed in the first carriage amid deafening shouts. The cocher lost his head and whipped up the horses, when the general's voice was heard above the din: "Slower, slower! Drive slower." As the carriage stopped under the very muzzles of the enemy's guns and the officers were heard frantically exhorting .the-men to fire the general stood upright in his carriage with one hand on his breast and looked steadfastly at the artillerymen. The fate of Italy trembled in the balance. The suspense lasted hardly a minute. Three times the order to fire was repeated. At the third the artillerymen flung down their matches, threw their caps wildly into the air, shouted "Viva Garibaldi!" and the revolution was over. —Contemporary Review.

The Stomach.

There is a wonderful sympathy between the stomach and all other parts of the body, but that between the stomach and the brain is so active and perfect that the most skilled physician is often greatly puzzled in trying to decide when one is ill whether the brain or stomach Is really to blame. Nothing is more mmmon, for example, than to meet along standing ease of dyspepsia in which the prominent and almost the only symptom is a dull and fretting headache. While persons have suffered for many years from what they believed to be a grave organic disease of the stomach ar^d were themselves fully convinced that oanoer at least was the cause of their suffering, it turned out that when a postmortem examination was made that a healthier stomach than the average was found,'but there were evidences of long standing and serious disease of the brain. In fact, sipjk headache is the result of eating too much and exerdsi&g too little. In the majority of cases its oause lies in the fact that the food last taken 16 so rich in quality or so excessive in quantity that the stomach cannot digest it.

A simple diet on grains and ripe fruit, with sufficient exercise in the open 'air to keep up a gentle perspiration, would speedily effect a cure. With some persons this headache cpmes on at regular intervals and is the stomach's signal of distress at having been imposed upon. To take two teaspoonfuls of powdered charcoal in a glass full of water will sometimes give relief, or a tablespoenful of lemon juice 15 minutes before each meal and the same at bedtime.—New York Ledger.

'f: The Perils of Posters.' An eminent 'scientist has been telling the sanitary congress that sensational theatrical posters are highly detrimental to the moral health of the community. It seems that they induce imitative actions. The argument appears to be that a man sees on the wall a pictorial representation of a murder scene in a thrilling melodrama and rushes home to cut his wife's throat or throw her out of the window. On the same principle, I suppose, when he sees a picture of an ox in a teacup, he will hasten to the nearett public house and endeavor to discover a man in a quart pot. We shall be told next that the pictures of fat babies which advertise various infants' foods acre responsible for the alarming increase of the population, and I know not what besides. It may be so, but I would suggest a little healthy skepticism until some definite evidence is forthcoming of this new danger. It is not so very long since some enthusiasts on the county council got up a crusade against street posters on moral grounds, and the result was hardly encouraging. In spite of moralists and aesthetes there is probably more good than evil on the street boardings.—London Truth.

Diplomacy.

"I have come," said the young man, "to ask for your daughter's hand." The proud banker gazed over his glasses at the fellow and demanded: "Well, have you any means of supporting her?'' "Alas! I am poor. Sut hear my story." "Goon.":~ "When I spoke to Claudia about coming to see you, she told nie it was useless that her mother was tho man of the house, and that I had -better go to her. But I said: 'No. Your father may permit your

WIT IN THE COURTS.

SOME OF THE BEST OF ANCIENT AND MODERN INSTANCES.

Eacluid Has Hsd Many Judicial Jesters. Neatly Veiled Sarcasm* Tkat Have Upset Counsel—Witticisms Fitted to Untoward Incidents.

There are three classes of people who can deliver a jest with absolute assurance that the same will be property appreciated. They are the acknowledged wit, the wit judicial and the scholastic At the former's remark to laugh is the tiling at the judge's remark to laugh is a relief at the form master's joke to laugh is diplomacy. IJpon the acknowledged wit and the wit of the classroom we have no intention to enlarge, but by Giting several leading witticisms delivered from the bench we hope to prove our case that the wit judicial is not so bad as those make oat who would have us believe that the laugh of tho aoure is tho laugh of sycophancy. A few months ago! Mr. Justice Day in the queen's bench division had a case before him of some duration and many technicalities. Toward the conclusion of a long speech counsel said, and the saying may be taken as a speohaon of what had preceded it: "Than, my lord, comes the question of bags. They might have been full bags or half full bags, at, again, ray lord, they might have been empty bags." ©r,'' interrupted the sorely tiled judge, "they might have bean wind bags."

Apropos of the verbosity of some counsel and the difficulty of checking them, the following story is told: In a case that was brought before the late mq#ter of the rolls a point was raised for the fitst time, whereupon the master asked why it bad not been raised before the judge in the court below. "His lordship stopped me, m' lud," replied the loquaoious counsel. "However did he manage to do that?" inquired Sir George Jessel eagerly. "By a species of pious fraud, m' lud—by pretending to be with me," was tho reply. It was the same judge who is reported to have said, when an unsuccessful litigant threw an egg at him in the corridor or the oourt, "I think that must have been intended for my brother Bacon." Mr. Justice Baoon sat in tho same court. When a judicial witticism has the honor of being introduced into an original musical comedy, there can be little doubt that tho bench is an acknowledged seat at humor as well as of learn ing—at least we -hope there cannot. A few years ago when the long winded counsel remarked, "We will now address ourselves to the furniture'' (concerning which the case was about), and the long suffering judge replied, "You have been doing that for some time, Mr. Dash," a well known comedian, taking the part of a judge, brought the anecdote into a play then running at the Prince of Wales theater with the grortest suooess, which was, of course, very flattering to the judicial bench.

To be able to oarry off an untoward Incident with an impromptu witticism of the first water is a gift that belongs to few. We think we are correct in stating thait it was Sir J. W. Chitty who exclaimed when apiece of the ceiling fell down on his desk when he was in the midst of giving judgment, "Justitia flat, ruat ooelum" (Let justice be done though the heavens fall), a remark that compares very favorably with the interpolated gag of a celebrated actor when a globe fell on to the stage of a provincial theater: "Hello, the glass is falling! We shall have rain." We would not say that the magisterial bench is without humoir, but it must be admitted that when the royal arms behind the bench in a London ..police court almost fell upon the occupant thereof, that individual had nothing to say that could, strictly speaking, be classified as humorous.

When one has a reproof to deliver, it is as well (from the reproved's point of view) that the same should be administered like the powder in the infantile jam—in as palatable a form as possible. Perhaps that idea struck the present master of the rolls, Lord Esher, when a junior cited the "Law Reports" as "2 Q. B. D." When Lord Esher said, "That is not the way you should address us," the junior protested that he intended no disrespect, but that the formula was an abbreviation for "the second volume of the queen's bench division reports." "I might as well,'' replied the master, "say to you, 'U. B. D.' Another instance that ocours to us is the case of a barrister who had almost been called to order on several occasions for having branded his client's husband (the defendant) in terms hardly compatible with courts of law, but luckily managed to escape until he said: "It is pardonable to be ugly, but there are limits. Now these limits Mr. X. has overstepped outrageously. I do not believe there is an uglier man in the world than Mr. X." "Sir," said the judge reprovingly, "you forget yourself."

Tho story of the unfortunate judge who said to a diminutive counsel, "Sir, when a barrister addresses the court he must stand," and on receiving the reply, "I am standing on the bench, my lord," apologized at length, and immediately told another barrister of considerable height 4o sit down, only to receive the meek but overwhelming answer, "I am sitting, my lord," reminds one of the case of a diminutive Scotch counsel who had a stool brought into oourt upon which he stood when pleading. On one occasion the judge demanded to know what the stool was for, and upon having the matter explained, to him observed that "that was one way nf rising at tho -bar."—London Standard. 3AILROAO MEN ON ".007."

Then, should the horse start forward as a car passes, tho car will hit the shafts from behind and no damage is likely. If, on the other hand, the car strikes a shaft pointing in the opposite direction, tho shaft will run into the car, and a smash up and probable injury to passengers are likely. The placing of the horse in position so as to move with the oar is well worth the eareful attntton o#'*6v*s.

DECLINING A BULLDOG.

A Theatrical Stenographer Pat It on the Sam* Plane as a Play. Dog stories are plentiful, as are also fish stories* but here is a genuinely true one, vouched for by Manager Will J. Davis and Myron B. Bice, which alone should be sufficient evidence of its truthfulness. Mr. Davis is a faneier of dogs, and he is continually bothered by his friends for young specimens. In the summer Mr. Davis had a kennel of bulldogs which were unusually fine. He had remembered Mr. Rice visiting hid form in the Henry Irving engagein exit, whore he much admired all of Mr. Davis' canine family. He thought Mr. Rice would be pleased to possess one of these fine bulldogs, so he forwarded one to New York city.

Mr. Rice while in New York lives in an apartment, and as apartments in New York are similar to those in Chioago the jahitor protested against Mr. Rice having a dog in his rooms. He did not know what to do with the pup, having no place to keep him, and yet not wishing to give it to any one else. He therefore thought it would be best to return it to Mr. Davis. He took the dog to the office and there had it packed for shipment. la the meantime he had requested Bis stenographer to write a polite letter to Mr. Davis, telling him the facts and expressing thanks and regrets. Now, in Mr. Rice's New York office they are in the habit of receiving numerous manuscripts of play6. "Will you dictate this letter?" asked the stenographer. "No. Go ahead and write it yourself. I am busy just now. With all the experience you have had you certainly should have t»ct enough to decline a bulldog without giving offense."

A. few days later Mr. Davis received the following polite letter of explanation and thanks from his friend, Myron B. Ride. At first he could not comprehend its meaning. He, however, kept it and expects to have considerable amusement out ef it at the expense of Mr. Rice:

DBAR SIB—We regret that we are compelled to decline the bulldog you so kindly submitted to us. We have carefully examined it and are sincerely BOFry that it does not seem wholly available for our use.

Of course you are aware that many considerations besides quality must govern the acceptance of bulldogs, and the rejection of any particular bulldog does not necessarily imply that it is lacking in merit.

This and a hundred other reasons may cause the rejection of any offered bulldog without reference to its intrinsic worth. The simple fact of refusal, therefore, does net carry with it- any adverse judgment aa to the excellence of the bulldog, but it is merely a statement that it cannot be used at the present tme. We thank you for your courtesy in submitting same and remain, very truly yours,

—Chicago Tribune.

The Pygmies of Africa.

Four years ago Dr. Stuhlmann, one of* the most soientiflc of ^.frioan explorers, brought to Germany two dwarf young woiaen about 17 and 20 years old. Theyi had been captured by Arab slave raiders in the great-forests northwest ef Victoria Nyanza. A man about 28 years old and 4 feet 6 inches In height who was captured with them was in Dr. Stuhdmann's care for several months, but died on the coast just before he was to .go to Europe. He •whs so very shy that he was never seen to loi»k a^hite man in the ftiee, and though he wppld talk a little Ki-Suaheli, the language of the Zanzibar natives, he was never! heard to speak a word-of his own latiguaga The girls were taken back to Africa in a few months, as it was feared thjoy would not survive a German winter, •In ail the tiaie they were with Dr. Stuhlmann he was able to get from them only 16 words of their.language. Perhaps this is nofcvery surprising. It was enough to injake persons of a low tjjpe of culture shy and suspicious to ie shut up for hours at a tifn* with inquisitive savants, who were continually looking at and questioning and measuring them, turning them this way and that and photographing them, and though the littlo women were well oared for and much was done to amuse them they couldcnot get over the idea that the whites had, some sinister purpose. They feared they would be poisoned and never touched any dish before their Italian servant had first tasted it. They were carried around from one scientific society to another all over Germany and Belgium, and it is safe to say that in their private opintan anthropology was a great bore, and they were very glad to get back to Africa.—Harper's Round Table.

The Way Finger Nails Grow. Finder nails, liko hair, grow faster in summof than in winter. The naHs of two fingers never grow with the same degree of rapidity.

The nail of the middle flngea.g*«ws with the .greatest rapidity and that of the thumb the least. It has been computed that the average growth of She linger nail is 1«82 of an inch per week, or a little more than an Inch and a half per year. The growth, however, depends to a great extent upon the ratoctf nutrition, and during periods of sickness cr of abstinence it is retarded.

Authorities differ with regard to the equality of growth on both hangs, some holding that the nails of the right hand grow faster than those of the left, but othexs can perceive no difference between than. According tq the rate at growth stated, the average time takep for eachJ finger nail to grow its-full length is about?" four and a half moffdu, and at this rate a wian of 70 would have renewed his nails 189 tipies. Taking the length of each nail aa inch, he would have grown 7 feet 9 inches of nail ea each finger, and on all his fla&crs and thumbs an aggregate length of 77 feet 6 inches.—New York Journal.

The Black Oat Snpentltloa. "Our rao€«?n young lady has almost as many superstiMd&s.as the naaid of apoient days," remarked Br. G. Couraey Phillips of*San Aatrato. Tex. "Not long ago 1 had occasion to 1e walking through one of out parksfwith three pretty gkis. We wero chattiag pleasantly and laugblng when sudttetftya black eat happened to cross the pa£b nbead of us. The girls all stopped and refused to move antil I had rummaged'through my pockets, found a bit of cardboard and torn it a trifle. I was surprised and amused and asked tfciem why they should insist on tha cardboard being torn. ITheytoldme that it was Ml luck to Uave a cat sross a path in front of one, and that the only way to avoid the evil that wduld otherwise result was to tear a bit of paper. They did net know what magic vtfas in the paper, but insisted that some subtle ftree dispelled the fo&d luck."—St. Louis Republic.
