"I entered the barroom. It was cro d -
ed. with miners and traders and a 1 w
smartly dressed professional luoliiiig in 1 n.
Here again Lis, vanity led mo into extr V-
agance. I could not bear to address -t'e
important,- white sleeved and diem° d
pinned barkeeper as a mere boyish st p -
pliant for information. .1 was silly enou,. h
to deniand it drink and laid down, ahs!
another quarter.
- "I had asked my question, the barke p-
er bad banded me the. decanter, and 1 h d
poured out the stuff with as much ease.
and grown up confidence as I could s-
stirne when a singular incident occurr d.
As it had seine bearing upon my fortu e,
I may relate it here.
"The ceiling of the saloon was suppo t-
edisy a half dozen wooden columns abo t
18 :inches square, standing in a line p r-
iffle] with, the counter of the bar aid
(theist two feet from It. The front of tio
bar was crowded with customers, wh
suddenly, to my astonishment, they, ojie
and all, put down their glasses and h r -
Healy backed into the spaces betwe
the columns. At the same moment a sh t
was fired from the street through tie
large open doors that stood at right an -
glee with the front of the counter a d
the columns:
"The bullet raked and splintered t
meldings of thecounter front, but wi h
no Other damage. The shot was return d
from the upper end of the bar, and then,
for, the first time, X became aware that
twe men With leveled revolvers were
shooting' at each other through the sla-
loon.
'The bystanders in range were fullly
protected by. the wooden columns. The
barkeeper had ducked below the.counter
at the first .shot. Six shots were
chauged by. the duelists, but as far as Is
could see nobody was hurt. A mirr r
was smasbed, and my glass had part f
its rim. cried cleanly away by the thi
shot and its contents spilled.'
"I had remained standing near ti
counter, •and presume I nidy have be n
protected by the columns, but the whole
thing passed so quickly and I was so t-
terly absorbed in its dramatic novel y
that I cannot recall having the slighte-t
sensation of physical fear. Indeed I heal
been much. more frightened in positioes
of less peril.
"My only concern, and this was pari..
mount, was that I might betray by any
word or movement my youthfulness, as7
tonishinent or unfamiliarity with such On
experience. I think that any ally, vain
schoolboy will understand this and wou d
probably feel as I did. So strong w s
tliis feeling that while the sting of gu
powder was still in my nostrils. I merOd
toward the bar, and, taking up my broken
glass, said to the barkeeper, perhaps
somewhat slowly and diffidently:
" 'Will you please fill me another glass?
It's not my fault if this was broken.' -
'Tile barkeeper,'rising, flushed and
cited, from behind the bar, looked at me
with a queer smile and then paeeed the
decanter and a fresh glass. I heard :a
laugh and an oath behind me, and u y
cheeks flushed as I took a single gulp of
the fiery spirit and hurried away." --

A Historical Tree.
The town of Kos, the capital of the
small Turkish island of that naine lying
off the coast of Asia Minor, possesses the
oldest tree in the world. Under its shade _
Hippocrates inculcated his disciples In
his methods and views concerning the
healing art 2,000 years ago. Traditien
carries the age of the tree back to the '
time of fEsculapius(of whom Hippocrates
was a lineal descendant), which would
add some 400 years to its age. A great '
part of the trunk is built rand, and
there Is a fountain known as Hippocra-
tes' fountain. The circumference of the
trunk is 30 feet, and there are two main
lower branches, which are supported by
Paasoury columns. .

HOW THEY SAY GOODBY.
The south sea islanders rattle eacle
other's whale teeth necklace. •
,
The„ . ara wiedersehenu of tho Austrians
is the meat feeling expression of farewell.
The Cuban ;would consider his goodby
anything but a cordial one unless he wad
given a good cigar.
In the Philippines the parting benedic-
tion is bestowed in the form of rubbing
oue's frieud's face with one's hand.
The Turk will solemnly crops his hands
Uponr his breast and make a profound
obeisance when he bids you farewell.
The Russian form of parting salutation
Is brief, consistiag of the single word
"prashal," said tol sound like a sneeze.
The Otaheite Islander will twist. the
end of the depiring guest's robe and
then solemnly sh ke his own hands three
times.
The FIJI islanders cross twored feath-
ers. The natives of New Guinea ex-
change chocolate. The Burmese bend
low apd say, "}Iib, hibl"
The ,genial Jap will take his slipper off
as you depart and Say, with a smile: "You
are going to leave my despicable house ie
your honorable journeying. I regard
thee!"
The Sioux and Blackfeet will at part-
ing dig their spears in the earth as a sign
of confidence and mutual esteem. This is
the origin of the term "burying the toma,
hawk."
The German "lebe Wohl" is not particu-
larly sympathetic in its sound, but it is
less embarrassing to those it speeds than
the Islindoo's performance, who, when
you go from him, fails in the dust at your
feet.
THE DRESSY WOMAN.
Pale pink coral Ornaments set with dia-
monds are among the novelties in expen-
live jewelry set forth for the winter
trade.
The rough diagonal and cheviots for
serviceable tailor g wns look heavy, but
they are woven so delicately and made of
such fine, pure wool as to weigh but little
more than a firm drap d'ete.
Pointed, deeply scalloped and graduat-
ed silk fringes are among the imported
novelties in dress trimmings. They are
in various widths, and colors, from the
Tom Thumb variety to styles half a yard
deep and finished with very wide netted
tops.
, Smart looking are the Street costumes
of green or blue ladies' cloth made with a,
princess effect in front to which are add-
ed short boleros of the cloth which reach
but a few inches belOw the bust and are
finished with hotelied revers that turn
back solar that they cover the shoulders
and on the froUts give the effect of one
bolero put on above the other.
There is a new point to be chronicled -
the postilion backs on some of the new
Waists and Etons of cloth, silk or velvet.
This is a style that is moro becoming to
many women than any sort of round
waist, however smartly made, and if the
ends are not exaggerated in length is par-
ticularly. good for plain tailor costinnes of
cloth, tweed or cheviot. -New York Post.

Having carried the northern end of the
Cape to Cairo railway as far as he could,
Kitchener is now on his way to do some-
thing for the southern section. -Philadel-

The announcement is mad& that "Brit-

POPULAR SCIENCE.
Space has a temperature of 200 degrees
below zero, '
Scientists make the assertion that there
are undoubtedly dormant volcanoes in
the United States which will some day
become active. --
Clouds that.reove in a contrary direc-
tion to that of the surface current indi-
cate a change of weather, because they
prove the existence of two air currents,
cine- warm and the other cold, and the
mingling of these frequently causes rain.
The Lick observatory astronomers tell
us the north star is 255,000,000,000 miles

-stars. The star Mizar, the iniddle star
of the haeclle of the Great Dipper, has a
brilliancy 100Ilmes that of our sun,
THE ROYAL BOX.
The sultan of Snlu equips his fighting
cock with gold spurt..
During his visit to England Emperor
William on numerous ceremonial occa-
sions kissed the hand of the queen, an act
of courtesy ,often teen in Germany, but
seldom in England.
The Emperor Francis Joseph has a
strong partiality for the pretty mountain
flower the edelweiss. . When he -goes
. chamois stalking, he usually gathers a
small bunch and sticks it in the ribbon of
his Styrian hat.
For many years the sultan of Turkey
has been growing more and more distrust-
ful of his subjects; but, placing almost
implicit confidence in Albanians, he hts
formed his bodyguard entirely of Mus-
sulman Alhamans.-.
RAILWAY RUMBLES.
In one of the great railroad stations
in Budapest artists have been engaged to
decorate the walls with views of the prin-
cipal Hungarian bathing resorts.
The total mileage of the Transvaal rail-
ways is given as 1,181 miles, but in the
Transvaal, as well as in the Orange Free
State, many lines were under way of con-
struction before the war broke out.
An Ohio man has patented a street eat
floor which will prevent people treading
on sitting passengers' toes, the edges of
the floor beiag double, with the uppez
thiekuess supported at intervals on brack-
ets to lift it high enough to allow the pas-
rengers' toes to slip under.
-Mr. John Blevins, who for some years
has been city clerk of Toronto, died recent-
ly, at the age of 71 years. He was a

situation it could be only a short thne
before the Afrikanders, out of ammuni-
tion and other supplies, would be forced
to succumb, -Chicago Chronicle.
