The Story of a Scar.
My Virginia friend—I was going to
say my old Virginia friend, but ho is
only 45, and doesn’t live in old Virgin¬
ia, but in West Virginia---was telling
me of tlie code duello iu the South. He
raised his hat, and, with his forefinger,
traced a deep scar on his forehead just
at the roots of his hair. It looked as if
made by a red hot brand.
“That,” said he, “was received in a
duel. The duel is going out of fashion
in Virginia, but there are still some
hotheaded men who think that their
wounded honor can only bo satisfied
with blood.”
Said I: “How did you get that
scar ?”
Said he: “I’ll tell you, I was making
a stump speech one night in the heat of
a political campaign. Excitement ran
high, but I was keeping my temper
right along and never got angry at the
frequent interruptions. In the crowd
was a man who was a power in the com¬
munity, and he was just drunk enough
to be offensive. He had interrupted mo
several times and I passed it off good
naturedly, until at last he said some¬
thing that stung me. Well, I am a Vir¬
ginian born and bred, and I answered
back that when he was made his mouth
was put in the wrong place, that it
should have been fastened on top of his
head and filled with hog’s lard and
sawdust. There was no wit in the Teply
—it was brutal, but it turned the laugh
on the fellow, and I knew I was in for
it. The next day he sent me a chal¬
lenge, and I accepted, naming pistols at
ten paces. He was a good shot, and I
know that I am. We were both ex¬
cited, and, when we got the word
to fire, both pistoh cracked
at the same instant. I shot
him through the lungs, and the ball
from his pistol struck me on the fore¬
head, ploughed this ear, and glanced
upward. I had aimed to shoot him
through the leg, but the pistol jerked
up with the pressure on the trigger,
and my ball went through his body. He
had aimed to shoot me through tho
breast, but his pistol went up from the
same cause and struck me on the fore¬
head. I’m glad to say he did not die,
and I haven’t a better friend in the
world.”
Then my Southern friend explained to
me that a short-armed man fired quicker
than a long-armed man because the dis¬
tance from brain to tho finger tip was
less; and ho also said that the better
class of people in the South were bent
on extinguishing the duello, and its
death was only a matter of time.—

Sunshine a Remedy for Obesity.
But here is a secret for women troubled
with obesity, which we anticipate will
carry some weight, namely, that bodies
exposed constantly to the sun “gain
such activity of the blood forces as to
prevent any excessive forming of adi¬
pose matter.’’ It must not, however,
be supposed that, ou the other hand,
plenty of sunshine is conducive to lean¬
ness. Not so, for the really healthful
condition is neither fat nor lean, but
shapely and plump, and tho sun’s rays
quicken the nutrient functions, pro¬
ducing a beautiful and elastic roundness
of form; indeed, the constant action of
the sun upon a human body is like the
effect upon a plant, vitalizing and
strengthening to every part.—[Press.
Tipsy Mocking Birds.
A letter written from Orange, Cal.,
says that the mocking birds in that lo¬
cality feed on the berried that grow on
the Chinese umbrella tree, and that this
sort of food makes them tipsy. They
act very foolishly just after a hearty
meal, and stagger about badly intoxi¬
cated. —[Chicago Herald.

A Sacred Race.
Cooks of old were considered a sacred
race; even tiieir fingers were consecrated
to the deities. The thumb was devoted
to Venus, the index finger to Mars, the
middle finger to Saturn, the next to the
sun, and the little one to Mercury. Im¬
agination has so much to do with pleas¬
ures of the palate that impudence, con¬
ceit, and boastfulness were held to be
necessary qualities to the profession.
Hear one modest cook: “I may say I
have discovered the principle of immor¬
tality and that the odor of my di.-hes
would recall life into the nostrils of the
dead.” Bechamel claimed that with a
sauce he had invented a man would have
no compunction in eating his own grand¬
father. —New Yorle Press.
Dr. Juneman, an Austrian chemist,
has invented the most destructive fluid
known to man. This fluid, when
brought in contact with the air, after the
explosion of a shell in which it is held,
becomes a gas. which destroys all living
things within its reach, melts metais and
sets everything inflammable on fire.
A Railway Romance.
The great strike on the “ Q ” road re¬
minds me of a romance. In one of the
towns on the main line lives a man who
for years has been in the employ of the
corporation which is now having trouble.
From apprentice boy in the workshop
he worked his way up until he became
an engineer. One night he was called
up and sent out on an extra. He had
not gone far on his run when something
danced before the glare of his headlight,
and a,s quickly did he reverse his engine.
track Leaving the pilot, he walked down the
and found a child neatly wrapped
and wide awake. He took it back to the
pilot, made a cot for it, and proceeded
on his run. On his return the waif of
the road was taken to his home, adopted,
reared and educated. She became one
of the beauties of the little town, and
grew into womanhood. The engineer,
although the nearly thirty-five years older
than pretty-faced creature, loved
her, and they were married.
The other day when there were ru
mors of a strike, the old engineer ap¬
pealed to liis child-wife for advice, and
she begged him to remain with the
company and not desert the road on
which he found her and from which he
rescued her. He consented, and there
is one of the old engineers who is true
to the throttle. I have this little story
irom a gentleman who lives in the town
where the old engineer makes his home.

Popular Education.
We sympathize with the feeling which often
leads citizens to boast that no chid born in
this country need grow up in ignorance, and
yet it is a fact that many people who have
learned to read and write have never taught
themselves to think. A man who suffered
from catarrh, consumption, bronchitis scrof¬
ula, or “liver complaint," might read, till his
eyes dropped out, how these and many other
diseases have been cured by Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, hut if he did not
take the lesson to himself and test the vi lues
of this great medicine, his time would be
thrown away.
