He aroused their Interest with u lec turer’s art, snys the Lyeeumlte, hut unfortunately the senior member was just starting on a trip and would not return for nt least a mouth. , ’ The senior partner ended the young man to one side and exacted a solemn promise that be would not visit an other bnrean or rend bis lecture to anybody until after be had given this particular manager a reading and a chance to make him an oiler a month hence. a The Interest of the Junior member, however was nt white heat, and he kept sending for tho 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, bat this only Increased the nnxlety ot the junior. At last the young (nan 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 1 aer said: "Now, your reading this has saved na 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 yon have not lieen to every bureau iu town? You promis ed me on your honor you would read the lecture to nobody-not even to my partner.** The young man protested that be had not done so. “Why." exclaimed the senior man ager, "of course you have!

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 have given the divorce suit no publicity, it Is all the talk In society ciroles. Mrs. English was one of the most charming young women In Atlanta society, and is the same attractive and loveable woman that she was whonshe first made her entrance Into Atlanta society. Mr. English Is the son of JsmesjW English. .^He has insde ^a'f forUino in leasing convicts, in which he was tint associated with his father and later by himself.

Terrell’s stair of lieutenant colonels, being known as chief of the staff, and accompanied the Governor on all his official trips. WAGER OF BATTLE. ffhe Pint Duels Are Void to Have Been FooxtU In Italr. Tho first duels were fought In Italy, according to Mllliugen, 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 tho nobles. Early In the ninth century De Medlcls, 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 reestablishment of wager of battle In OSS. Women nnd priests were not compelled to uccept IL The Normans showed less gallantry.

The blond Is surcharged with salts that are uot needed In tile system. 1 The doctors are try lug to remedy theso diseases by giving something to eliminate the salts, such as purgatives, diuretics nud solvents of various kinds. The rational way. however, to cure such affections Is to stop the cause. -iDrink more water; eat less meat nnd concentrated foods. This shuts off the supply of urates In tho blood. Those who take active exercise In tho open air every day require a great er amount of nutrition. Not only do they use up the nutritive materials In muscular exereise, but the amount of oxygon -Inhaled because of their activ ities thoroughly oxidizes the urates and changes them Id area. 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 tho lowest, such ns the elbows, an kles, the toes aqd fingers. Drink more water; eat less food. This. Is a prescription that Is worth more to such peopto than all tho drugs In the world.

Tho French have a fashion of ex pressing an Indefinite hut short period of time by the phrase "about eight days.” Under similar conditions wo would say “about a week." Tho French method seeing unnatural, ours natural, for a week Is n distinctly rec ognized period. We believe there Is only one way In which we use the eight day period, nnd that Is In making clocks. . Did It ever occur to you why we have what Is called an eight day clock and not one made to run exactly seven thunk It?”—New York I'ress. days? There Is a good reason for It. A clock that Is made to run eight days Is pretty sure to lie 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 nips 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 man winds his watch at the same every day or night, the spring Is never folly exhausted.
