White turnips can be made to fill an important place in farm management. There are several advantages in grow- ing this crop. Since it need not be sown until mid-July opportunity is giv- en of summer fallowing the land be- fore the crop is sown, one hand hoeing can be made to serve, while two or three are required in the case of man- gels. Not only this but the work of hoeing can be done more quickly than with mangels. This is partly because the turnip land be cleaned in advance and partly because the mangels, with two or three seeds in one shell, grow more closely together. You have to use your fingers in thinging mangels. You do not have to do this with ternips. A man can hoe half an acre to an acre of turnips in a day. He will do well to get over a quarter of an acre of mangels in the same time. --Henry Glendinning. SUFFERED. TERRIBLE PAINS OF INDIGESTION, I ILBURN''S LAXAIVEIt PILLS CURED HE .,, t Mrs. Wm, H.

TRAGEDIES AND COMEDIES PAST AND PRESENT, Many Curiously Desperate Encounters, Have Taken Place. In France, and the Practice Has Not Always Been as_ Harmless as It Seems to Be; Newadays—Chance and Not Skill Was a Frequent Factor In Dueis.. Although the age 'of duelling may be said to be past in this country, Aaany of our continental friends still regard it as the legitirnate way in which to settle their "affairs of honor; butee as Mark Twain once said, "it ie a fairly healthy method of adjusting a, quarrel," In France alone during the last twenty years it is estimated there has been more than a thousand duels, and in every one hundred encounters only two persons have sustained an injury,. Tliat is not a rate that need cause anybody alarm. In spite of this, hon - ever, an element of romance has al- ways,assoeiated itself with duels, and will probably always invest there with a peculiar interest and fascina- tion. e • And there is something weirdly fas- cinating about the accounts in old • papers .of desperate struggles to 'the: death between duellists armed with knives in darkened rooms, or of the',. choice, of two black vials in one of which deatheluresed in the foren of a deadly poison. There was a ease in. which Vill�tn- ouve, a noted duellist of Paris in the early years of last century, insulted the sister of a young Englishman rani ed. Talbot, who thereupon struck him. A duel. was, of course, the 'conse- queueee s The conditions were; that there should be two pistols—one load- ed,, the other not., They were to be putinto a, handkerchief and drawn out'' by chance by the parties who. were afterwards to take =their stanch at a distance of only one pace from,. each other. The first choice fell to the lot of the Frenchman, who, place- ing. his hands on the weapons, en- 'deavored to :choose the heaviest; 'the .,other was given to•Talbot'.. They took their respective grounds, and so Qlose that the muzsle of each man's pistol touched . his adversary. Dreadful mtr'st it have been for the friends of each; the certain knowledge 'that one niust fall—the excitement, the agitation, the hope, then expecta- tion—almost placed the byst'tsnders in as great apprehension as the princi- pals: When both were placed on- the- ground, he ground,. the seconds advanced and took a last farewell. Talbot shook his friend's hand and said "Good- bye." Villeneuve appeared, as uncon- eerned as if he were a casual Spec.e tater, and merely nodded to his friends. • The word was given, and the pis- tols went off together, and both Hien fell. Villeneuve turned upon his sine, - and instantaneously died. Talbot was lifted up; the closeness of the pistol at the discharge hrd knocked him down. He was hurried from the spot in •a state of mental disorder, and many months clapped before he was restored to health and reason. This, however, was a milk and wat- er affair compared with the deadly contest engaged in between two young Frenchmen, Henri Delagrave and Al- phonse Riviere, to settle their rival claihns to the hand of a young lady. Riviere insulted his rival by, slapping him on the cheek in a gambling sa- loon, and it was agreed that a duel should take place in which the life of one. should be ended. The details were left to their sec- onds to arrange, and until they faced one another upon the field. neither of the young men knew in what form they were to be called upon to brave death. On the following morning four men met in a quiet wood. They were Riviere, with, 9Monsieur Savalle, his second, and Delagrave, who was ac- companied by a doctor named Roe- quet. The latter informed the rivals that 'Monsieur Savalle and himself had arrived at the decision that, in order to secure the certainty of a fatal result to •one of their principals, it would be best to leave out of the question swords or pistols, and to trust to the more sure action of a deadly poison. As he spoke -he drew from his pocket a little box, in which lay four black pellets all exactly iden. tical in size and share. "I have," he proceeded, "placed in one of these a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause the almost in- stantaneous death, of anyone who swallows it. Monsieur Savalle and 1 will decide by the,toss of a coin which of you is to have first choice, and you shall alternately draw and swal- • low a Bill until the poison shows its effects." While speaking the last words the doctor spun into the air a glittering gold piece, and as it fell. Savalle cried "Tails." It fell with the head upper- most, and Savalle said: "The first choice is yours, Monsieur Delagrave." The two whose fate was contained in these innocent looking black balls had ethown no sign of trepidation While the doctor explained the awful preparations that he had made, for the detttlh`. of ono of them; and betas grave'se fttesestevas.. perfectly impas- sive as he selected aft ' washed down' with a glass of claret outs of the glo- b"And now, Monsieur Riviere," said • the doctor.

"It, is your choice again,Y Monsieur Delagrave,"said the doctor, but thio time you must swallow, the. pill ,at same Instant that Monsieur on you lea wallows the a save for fere swallows y him." The main Each took a, yri11 and swal=' lowed it.'A few seconds afterwards Riviere threw up his hands, and without a sound fell flat on the grass.

In this country, where fatal railroad accidents are a matter of almost daily happening, it is a remarkable contrast that is presented by the official figures as to fatal accidents on British rail- roads.
