Unfortunate Omission.
One of the most singular instances of
jonishment for an oversight was that
town by the commitment of an alma
nac ranker to the Bastille in 1717. It
las made out by order of the Duke of
♦rieans. regent during the minority of
fWuis V. of France, and read as fol
lows: "Laurence d'Henry, for disre
rt feet to King George I. in not mention
ing him in his almanac as king of
ifireat Britain." How long this un
lucky almanac maker remained inpris
•c is unknown. The register of the
Bastille, examined at the time of the
Solution, failed to throw any light on
te subject.

MERELY‘A MASTERPIECE.
Not a “Message” In Lovely Diction
For tlie Junior Manager.
A man who wanted to lecture called
at a bureau presided over by two man
agers.
He aroused their interest with a lec
turer’s art, says the Lyceumite, but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on a trip and would not
return for at least a month.
The senior partner called the young
man to one side and exacted a solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager a reading and a
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest of the junior member,
however, was at white heat, and he
kept sending for the young lecturer, in
sisting that he come down to the office
and read his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible,
but this only' increased the anxiety of
the junior.
At last the young man told of the
promise made the senior partner. In
stead of quieting the junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious, and finally the young man
consented.
The reading ended, the junior part
ner said:
“Now, your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time. I’ll tell you
frankly, my boy, it won’t do. There’s
no message in it; it is loosely construct
ed; the diction is poor. It won’t do.
Burn it and try again.”
When the senior partner returned he
called up the young lecturer and sound
ly berated him for breaking faith.
' “How do I know you have not been
to everv bureau in town? You promis
ed me on your honor you would read
the lecture to nobody not e\ on to uij
partner.” , . , .
The /oung man protested that he
had not done so.
“Whv ” exclaimed the senior man
ager, “of course you have! He tells me
that you came clown here to the office
two weeks ago and read him the entire

A STIR 13 CREATED
IN FILIPP OF SUIT
Mrs. James W. English Asks
Divorce.
SOCIAL CIRCLES ARE STIRRED
Complainant Alleges that Jam-a W
English, Jr. is Guilty of Habitual
Drunkenness and Cruelty—Divorce
Proceedings Piled.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19. —Mrs. Rebie
Lowe English, through her attorneys,
Rosser and Brandon, has filed suit for
divorce against her husband, James
W. English, Jr., alleging habitual
drunkenness and cruelty, charging
that he frequently drank at home nights
to the point of intoxication until she
feared personal injury.
Though the newspapers hijve given
the divorce suit no publicity, it is all
the talk in society circles.
Mrs. English was one of the most
charming young women in Atlanta
society, and is the same attractive and
loveable woman that she was when she
first made her entrance into Atlanta
society.
Mr. English is the son of James W.
English. He has made a fortune in
leasing convicts, in which he was first
associated with his father and later by
himself. Recently he built a $75,000
residence on Peachtree, about which
there was talk of the state’s buying it
as an executive mansion.
Mr. English was at the head of Gov.
Terrell’s staff of lieutenant colonels,
being known as chief of the staff, and
accompanied the Governor on all his
official trips.
WAUhH OF BATTLE. *
The First Duels Are Said to Have
Deen Fought In Italy.
The first duels were fought iu Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks of
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes a duel between a father and
a son in the reign of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fiercest opposition
from the nobles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight, defeated
in single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Otho
11. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the re-establishment of wager of
battle in 988. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them a woman had to accept, nor could
she name a champion. Her m:ile op
ponent. however, was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with a
club, lie tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him. his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end of a cord. If he
failed t;> touch her at the third at
tempt he \va - vanquished, which
meant to him uenth with dishonor.
•Becearin says tlut the reason so
nany dueis were fought in Italy in
the oe.rly days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
iook to single combat to retain the re
spect of one’s fellow men. In tin* mid
dle ages the ferocity of Italian duels,
passes belief. "Any way of putting an
enemy to death (*ogni modo’) is good
Enough.” says one of their writers.
"When an Italian spares his vanquish
ed adversary.” says Bran tome, "he
maims his arms and legs and gives
him as a memento of his kindness and
generosity a hideous gash across the
face.” Lampagnauo practiced on a
painted model of Galeazzo Sforza be
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called “la geienza cavalleresca.’’*—Corn
hill Maga7i”p
The Gentlemanly Leopard.
The cheetah has a reputation as one
of the most gentlemanly of beasts. A
story from Ootacamund shows what
fine manners the animal has. Three
Calcutta visitors to the hill station
were out on a tramp wh ' they were
overtaken by a thunderstorm, accom
panied by sheets of rain. They spied a
cave in the side of the hill, and into it
they rushed. When the rain stopped
they came out and. to their surprise,
found a cheetah sitting licking the
heavy wet off his waistcoat and his
paws. It was his cave, but rather than
deprive his visitors of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside in the
driving tempest. With a friendly mew
and gracefully wagging his tail, the
cheetah bade adieu to his guests and
walked with dignity into his house.—

His Second.
She—l must say I don’t believe in
“warmed over” love. He—Well, there’s
one thing sure —a widowers second
love is always worth more than his
first. She—The idea! He—l mean his
second ladylove is always worth more
money than his first. Philadelphia

Womanly.
“What,” she asked, “is your idea of a
womanly woman?”
“One,” he replied, “who takes the
comb out of her back hair every little
while and gives it two or three upward
scrapes and then jabs it In again.”—

If {><••»; v. - .tJiUc less nutrition
aii 'ffvak - water, than* would be
less rhwin •:: wu. gout, eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fre
quent cause us these derangements is
an excess of nutritive materials. The
blood is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections is to stop the
cause. Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require a great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials in
muscular exercise, but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ
ities thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
ly to crystallize, especially in those
portions of the body where the circula
tion is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects of
urate poisoning will disappear.—Ex
change.
EIG HT DAY CLOCKS.
The Reason They Are Not Made to
Ron Just a Week.
The French have a fashion of ex
pressing an indefinite but* short period
of time by the phrase “about eight
days.” Under similar conditions we
would say “about a week.” The
French method seems unnatural, ours
natural, for a week is a distinctly rec
ognized period. We believe there is
only oue way in which we use the
eight day period, and that is in making
clocks.
Did it ever occur to you why we
have what is called an eight day clock
and not yne made to run exactly seven
days? There is a good reason for it.
A clock that is made to run eight days
is pretty sure to be wound on a cer
tain day of the week, for it would be
almost impossible for any one to re
member to wind it on every eighth day.
Therefore the interval between wind
ings is seven days, precisely as the
maker desired and expected.
The reason is that a clock runs bet
ter when it is not allowed to run down,
or even nearly so. The same plan is
followed in making a watch; it will run
for thirty hours, but as nearly every
man winds his watch at the same hour
every day or night, the spring is never
fully exhausted. Regularity in wind
ing is one of the best means of keeping
a timepiece in order.
