DUELS OF A GERMAN STUDENT-
vnlveI-sltlcs of Germany.
Dr. W. Stillman describes the student
duels of Germany. There are. he writes.
three kinds of duels known to German stu-
dents. One is called the American duel.
another is the “ sabre mensur " and the
third is the ordinary meustlr. in which all
the person is protected except the face and
head. which are peeked away at with a small
flexible blade. The eyes are safe behind iror.
spectacles. and there is really almost nu
danger. In the first kind one almost dies
[lots are thrown and one must destroy him—
self. In the second the ‘danger is midway
between the two others. Three of the prin-
cipal arteries on either side of the body are
protected. likewise the eyes ; but the chest.
arms. head and face are left to the mercy
of the heavy. villainous looking mbrc. One
blow through the unprotected heart and a
man‘s duclling days would terminate. The
difi'ercnt kinds of diielling represent as
many grades of insults. To call a fellow
student an “ ignoranius“ is all that is re.
quired to demand the second kind. The
first is largely reserved to settle precedence
in love affairs. though. of course. the maiden
never marries the survivor. I was invited
to attend a “ sabre niensur“ recently. in
Berlin. as a guest of one of the corps. The
duel was fought in a large ball. At either

his skin and shirt sleeve together. A aur-
goon staiiches the flow of blood and the
garcons pass the beer again. Then the con-
tust again begins. The. atmosphere is cut

named Lockwood. the daughter of a respec-

A GSNSROUS SENATOR-
While talking with Senator Wade Hsmp-
'on last evening a daughter of the late
lteverdy Johnston came up with an auto
graph album in her hand. This book was
for the names only of United States Senators.
The purpose of this lady is to raise a little
contribution towards the founding of a hos-
pital for helpless Southern soldiers at Rich-
mond. a work so laudable that it would be
like an offense to argue the duty and glory
of it. This book is to be sold when filled
to any one who will pay the most for it.

A SAD VIRGINIA ROIANCB-
l‘lic True Story nf‘ nu l‘nfsrqlvl‘. Father
and Is Proud Non.
While. visiting an old friend in a Virginia
village a month ago I attended worship one‘
Sunday at the parish church. and was very
much attracted by an aged and handsome
couple who sat in the pew opposite me. The
pastor preached a very affecting sermon on
the Prodigal‘s lletiirn. which. I noticed.
affected the old lady to tears and had a
marked eIfecf on the gentleman. I turns
tinned the circumstance that evening to my
It‘li‘l‘Il. when she ri iatcd to me the following
path-true story: ‘
The old couple were Mr. and Mrs. 00l-

aristocratic. wealthy families of Virginia.

heritcd his father‘s pride. but not his violent
nature. About a mile from Colonel D. w—v‘s
residence lived a gentleman between whose
family and the colonel‘s a feud of long
shunting existed. Colonel D'w‘dlfld fre-
quently warned his son not under any cir-
cumstances to visit any member of the gen
lh-iiiaii‘s family. A daughter of the liatcd‘
house on her eighteenth birthday gave ii
large partyjto which all the young people
were invited. including the venerable col-
:inel‘s sou (ins. 0n bearing of the party
and his son‘s invitation to it. he sent to him
and most positively forbade him to attend.
i‘hi- sou promised he would not. The invi-
tations wen-at four o'clock. as a supper on
the lawn was part of the programme. About
tliric o‘clock on that day Gus called for his
team. a splendid pair of handsome grays,
and ordered the eozicliman to drive him.

l‘lie Form of Fancy \Vcrh \t’hlch tlccupics
Nun) \onn. )llmls and Hands.
The particular species of fancy work
\\ iii ‘ll has lately possessed the minds and
ting-rs of young women is that of “ crazy
piilts." Somebody has decreed that silk
piilts must be made of odd pieces. not cut
'n regular blocks as our grandmothers made
oiteliwork. but broiled on a canibric lining.
‘ivlter-akelter. the edges turned in and work-
:ul over in bricr‘sfitch or cuLstitch in “It‘s.
The colors of the patches and sewing silk
ir - chosen haphazard : the “ crazier“ the
extent of the work the better. Somebody
liiltlt' this decree. but the women wont even
forth-r in carrying it out. Not content with
crazily stitchingr the odd pieces of silk to
gt‘l‘li‘l'. they now embroider every separate
patch in thus. or they decorate it with paint-
ing. or they attmh to it a flower cut from
brocade. like an applique figure. and instead
of using only brierstitch and cut—stitch for
ill" joining they employ every varioty o!
fincy stitch. including all the commits
known as South Keiisington and Point
lzusso. And these same indies defend their
practice by saying that cmzy work afi‘ords
ample room for economy. as it enables one
to use every scrap of silk or velvet. however
small. and it exercises the taste and inge-
nuity, as it gives the widest field for the dis.
play of originality. So they have all taker
the craze over crazy work. When the ' do

Ilut. sooner or later. this fashion must die
out. The test of beauty is often utility. and
any expert needieivomen mast. know that
