How He Saved Hi* Melon*.
“Wil it bot out there, ’’ the Detroit

tbo man who bad just returned with
bi* family from Ari son a.
* “Hot? I raised watermelons out
there, and do you koo* what happen
ed when It began to warm up?*'
“Did you hare to sit in the middle
lot tbo patch with a shotgun end have
a bulldog patrolling the fence line?”
“Naw. Guess again?”
“Did the vines grow so fast that
they dragged tbe melons, and did you
have to smooth tbe ground, so that
tbe riod wouldn't be worn off and tbe
fruit destroyed?” »
“Ob, somebody has been tailing you
one of those big Western fairy yarns.
You ought to have sense enough to
know that the melons couldn’tb e
dragged by the vines . But I did have
to boje a hole io every watermelon I
wanted to eave.”
‘•No. What was that for?”
“Because the beat v/as to awful it
generated steam in the melons and we
bad to give it vent or they’d explode.
And when the ho/rs were bored the
durned things blew off just like steam
whistles. When dozens of them of all
sizes got to going at once it sonnded
about like all the boats on the river
tooting when th? boys came back from
tbe war. I have ears like an artillery
man now and bave*to listen mighty
careful to hear it thunder.”

A SILLY TRAGEDY.
The Duel Between Tom Porter **<
Sir Henry Bellaeis.
Some of the Royalists vbo were
forced to endure tbe English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dullness of life under a Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass, so that ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up the
history of their days-
Tom Porter was of a family which
,ad zealously served the king. Under
the new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event. This was a duel
which he fought with his friend, Sir
Henry Bellas!*, and which, says Pepys
in his "Diary,” is worth remembering
for "the silliness of the quarrel * * * a
kind of emblem of tbe general complex
ion of the whole kingdom. ”
. But silly as the quarrel undoubtedly
was it carried in it an element of heart
break.
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, "being merry in company,”
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him a blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him a box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved to
be seriously hurt, so he called Porter,
kissed him and bade him fly.
"For,” said he, “Tom, thou hast
hurt me. But I will make shift to stand
upon my legs till thou mayst withdraw,
for I would not have thee troubled for
what thou hast done.”
Porter profited by his friend’* gener
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died a few days later, and Pepys con
cludes, "It is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple of
fools that killed one another out of
love.”

SHOPPING IN ITALY.
Outlandish Method* That Make It a
Moat Tiresome Task.
A source of trial is what appears to
ns the outlandish method of having
things that apparently belong together
sold in different establishments. Silks
are found in one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons in a third. At none
of these can one buy needles and thread.
If a woman wishes to hang a pair of
curtains, she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at a differ
ent place, the iron fixtures at a third
and has to go to a fourth to find an up
holsterer to put them up. She must
visit a tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with ns, vegetables, fruit or
bread at a grocer’s. It may thus readily
be seen that one must travel a good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, a
meter exceeding a yard and a pound
containing but 12 ounces, and a faint
idea may be formed of the mental com
' plications of the traveler.
There is also a certain amount of
beating down to be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hour’s bar
gaining the purchaser cherishes awful
donbts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping Is really
almost equal to the contemplation of
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
tone, and it is hard to say.which has
the more to answer for in the exhausted
state in which most travelers leave
Italy.—Harper’s Bazar.
