A HISTORICAL DUEL. THIRTEEN SWORDSMEN SLAIN BY ONE MAN BEFORE AN ARMY. A Scene More Exciting Than Any Battle In the Annals of Modern History—Ten Thousand Witnesses to the Terrible Work of One Sword. To give an idea of what a brave man can do if he knows fencing thoroughly and but keeps cool and collected in danger we will relate a historical duel. So extraordinary is this combat that it would be held a romance had it not been witnessed by a whole army. The hero is Jean Louis, one of the great masters of the beginning of last century, and the duel happened in Madrid in 1813. He was the master-at-arms of the Thirty-second regiment of French Infantry. The First regiment, composed entirely of Italians, formed part of the same brigade. Regimental esprit de corps and rivalries of nationality caused constant quarrels, when swords were often whipped out or bullets exchanged. After a small battle had occurred in the streets of Madrid, in which over 200 French and Italian soldiers had taken part, the officers of the two regiments, in a council of war assembled, decided to give such breaches of order a great blow and to re-establish discipline. They decreed that the masters' arms of the two regiments should take up the quarrel and fight it out. Imagine a whole army in battle array on one of the large plains that surround Madrid. In the center a large ring is left open for the contestants. This spot is raised above the plain so that not one of the spectators of this tragic scene—gayly dressed officers, soldiers in line, Spaniards, excited as never a bull fight excited them—will miss one phase of the contest. It is before 10,000 men that the honor of an army is about to be avenged in the blood of thirty brave men. The drum is heard. Two men, naked to the waist, step in the ring. The first is tall and strong. His black eyes roll disdainfully upon the gaping crowd. He is Giacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian. The second, tall, also handsome and with muscles like steel, stands modestly awaiting the word of command. His name is Jean Louis. The seconds take their places on either side of their principals. A deathlike silence FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148¼ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, several large buildings. soldiers in line, Spankarda, excited as never a bull fight excited them—will miss one phase of the contest. It is before 10,000 men that the honor of an army is about to be avenged in the blood of thirty brave men. The drum is heard. Two men, naked to the waist, step in the ring. The first is tall and strong. His black eyes roll disdainfully up the gaping crowd. He is Glacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian. The second, tall, also handsome and with muscles like steel, stands modestly awaiting the word of command. His name is Jean Louis. The seconds take their places on either side of their principals. A deathlike silence ensues. "On guard!" The two masters cross swords. Glacomo Ferrari lunges repeatedly at Jean Louis, but in vain. His every thrust is met by a parry. He makes up his mind to blide his chance and caresses and teases his opponent's blade. Jean Louis, calm and watchful, lends himself to the play, when, quicker than lightning, the Italian jumps aside with a loud yell and makes a terrible lunge at Jean Louis, a Florentine trick, often successful. But with extraordinary rapidity Jean Louis has parried and risposts quickly in the shoulder. "It is nothing," cries Glacomo; "a mere scratch." And they again fall on guard. Almost directly he is hit in the breast. This time the sword of Jean Louis, who is now attacking, penetrates deeply. Glacomo's face becomes livid, his sword drops from his hand, and he falls heavily on the turf. He is dead. Jean Louis is already in position. He wipes his reeking blade; then, with the point of his sword on the ground, he calmly awaits the next man. The best fencer of the First regiment has just been carried away a corpse, but the day is not yet over. Fourteen adversaries are there, impatient to measure swords with the conqueror, burning to avenge the master they had deemed invincible. Jean Louis hardly had two minutes' rest. He is ready. A new adversary stands before him. A sinister click of swords is heard, a lunge, a parry, a rispost and then a cry, a sigh, and all is over. A second body is before Jean Louis. A third adversary advances. They want Jean Louis to rest. "I am not tired," he answers, with a smile. The signal is given. The Italian is as tall as the one who lies there a corpse covered by a military cloak. He has closely watched Jean Louis' play and thinks he has guessed the secret of his victories. He multiplies his feints and tricks; then, all at once, bounding like a tiger on his prey, he gives his opponent a terrible thrust in the lower line. But Jean Louis' sword has parried and is now deep within his opponent's breast. What need we to relate any more? Ten new adversaries followed him, and the ten fell before Jean Louis amid the excited rails and roars of an army. At the request of the Thirty-second regiment's colonel, who thought the lesson sufficient, Jean Louis after much pressing consented to stop the combat, and he shook hands with the two survivors, applauded by 10,000 men. From that day fights ceased between French and Italian soldiers. This wonderful and gigantic combat might be held a fable were not all the facts above stated still found in the possibility of preventing land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties No. Farms Acres. Los Angeles 6577 896,633 Orange 2288 599,436 Riverside 1340 497,607 San Bernardino 2250 219,182 San Diego 2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties Acres. Los Angeles 65,644 Orange 41,549 Riverside 32,947 San Bernardino 37,877 San Diego 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. It is estimated that $275,000 is the difference per annum of running the 25-knot ship, compared with the 22-knot ship. Cancer Cured Mr. W. W. Pickett, Smithfield, Ill., writes Sept. 10th, 1901: "I had been suffering several years with a cancer on my face, which gave me great anoyance and unbearable itching. Was using Ballard's Snow Liniment for a sore leg, and through an accident rubbed some of the liniment on the carcer,and as it gave me almost instant relief I decided to continue to use the liniment on the cancer. In a short time the cancer came out, my face healed up and there is not the slighter scar left.

There is a six-year-old West Philadelphia who already gives evidence of possessing the necessary qualifications to place him at the head of some great trust. For some weeks past he has been troubled with toothache, and his mother has coaxed, threatened and hired him to go and have the tooth extracted, but the small boy could not get his courage to the necessary point. Finally one morning when mamma had been making bids like the crowd at an auction, "One dollar, one and one-half," and at last had reached "three," the small boy broke in with: "Say, mamma, would you give me $5?" The mother hesitated a moment and then said: "Yes. Anything to have it over." "I'll do it, then," said the small boy. So away they went in a hurry before he could repent of his bargain. Arrived at the dentist's, the operation was so painless and so soon over that the small boy didn't realize that the tooth was out until they told him. On the way home his mother said, "Now, Harold, don't you think that was a very little thing for mamma to give you $5 for?" "Yes, mamma, I do," said the young financier. "But I'll tell you what. We'll call it $4.75, and you give me the $5. and I'll give you back the 25 cents some time when I have another tooth pulled."—Philadelphia Press. Try for Health 222 South Peoria St., Chicago, Ill., Oct. 7, 1902. Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pronounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no desire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffering if they but knew of its value. Sarges Duncker Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well.

THE END OF NIAGARA. In Twenty-five Centuries the Great Falls Will Have Disappeared. In 2,500 years hence the discharge of the Niagara will have become intermittent, ceasing at low stages of the lake, and finally the Niagara river, on the rising edge of the basin, will have its waters turned back and southward, and no water will flow over the Niagara escarpment of that day. Through this agency alone Niagara falls will cease to exist long before the escarpment has been worn away to the river level at Grand Island, but as it is even now lessening the volume of water poured over the falls the erosive power of the stream is diminishing, and we must therefore increase the period necessary for the retreat, of the Canadian falls to the south end of Goat island and the stealing of the waters of the American falls. Assuming the continuity of the forces named, we might outline the probable future life and death of the falls thus: With progressive loss in water volume the Canadian falls will reach the south end of Goat island in from 1,000 to 1,500 years, the death of the American falls. The flow of the waters will now have become intermittent, and at first only at periods of mean and high water in Lake Erie, eventually at high water alone, will there be any discharge over the escarpment. This will continue for a period of from 1,500 to 2,000 years. The entire flow to the north will cease, and the river will flow back into Lake Erie, leaving the escarpment dry at a point not very far south of Goat island and with a height of about 100 feet. This will be 8,500 years hence the death of Niagara falls.—John M. Clarke, Ph. D., LL. D., in Harper's Weekly. An Effective Touch. A western senator tells a story of a judge who had occasion to fine a lawyer in that state $100 for contempt of court. After court had adjourned the lawyer approached the judge and said, "Your honor, I want to ask a great favor of you." "What is it?" inquired the judge. "I have a pressing obligation to meet. That hundred you took for that fine was the money I had to meet it with. I wish you would lend me $100 for a few days." "Hi, Mr. Crier," shouted the judge, "convene court again!"

When he swings easily on and off a moving car without danger of tangling his heels in his petticoats. When the dinner is spoiled and he chats unconcernedly and all the guests pity him because he is married to an incompetent, fussy, discomposed woman—Chicago Journal. Beauty's Varieties. The French say there are several "ages" as well as kinds of beauty—the beauty of mere youthfulness, which they call la beaute du disable; also a beauty of "ugliiness," of "old age" and of "thinness," called la beaute du singe. Frederika Bremer, the Swedish novelist, had the beauty of "plaimess." She was so very plain of face that her expression of trustfulness, as though appealing to you to find some other qualities in her than mere "looks," shone out with a perfect radiance that ennobled her face and drew friends to her, because she had no other beauty. But Miss Bremer took pleasure in her well kept hands, of which she used to say, "Even hands have their moments of charm." Wild Animals and the Human Voice. Gordon Cumming was perhaps the first to discover the effect of the human voice upon wild animals. On one occasion he had a lioness in full retreat before him. He called loudly to her, whereupon she squatted like a huge dog and permitted him to approach. In a similar venture he checked the charge of a lioness by yelling at her and continued to do so, while she remained perplexedly sniffing the ground and allowed him to escape. Time to Get Aboard.

Court was reconvened, and then the judge remitted the fine. SOLAR MOTION. The Little We Know About Where the Sun Is Going. Can we find out anything about the motions of our solar system? The old astronomer, before the invention of spectroscopic methods, could attack the problem only by a consideration of certain stellar motions. It has been found that these motions are not altogether casual in character, as we should expect, but there is a tendency to a grouping of the motions—an arrangement other than fortuitous. It appears that the individual stars forming the sky are slowly closing up near a certain point of the heavens and as slowly opening out near a point diametrically opposite. This is just what we should expect if the solar system is approaching the point where the stars are opening out. The phenomenon has been compared to what we see when a regiment of soldiers marches toward us. At first there is visible a confused mass of men only, but as distance diminishes the ranks open out until each individual becomes at last plainly visible. In this way it has been possible to determine approximately the position on the sky of the "apex" of solar motion, or that point toward which our solar system is at present traveling. It is in the constellation Hercules. We are obliged to assume that our path is for the moment a straight line. But we mean that "moment" which began when James Bradley commenced the first star catalogue of modern precision, about 1750, and which will end long after present generations of men have passed away. So mighty is the orbit in question that many centuries must come and go as moments before we can hope to detect the orbit's curvature. We are like travelers in the famous "orkscrew" tunnel of the St. Gothard railway. Trains enter on a low level and after going around a huge curve cut in the mountain emerge from the tunnel again on a higher level and at a point almost directly above the entrance. Passengers while in the dark tunnel often amuse themselves by watching the needle of a pocket compass, which makes a complete revolution during the passage. But without the compass they could not know whether the train was moving on a straight or curved track, and so we passengers of the solar system, too, cannot know by observation whether our great cosmic track is straight or curved until, like the compass, the astronomer's instruments shall tell us the truth—Harold Jacoby, Ph.D., in Harper's Weekly. and is Treasurer of the Women-gressive Union, wrote the story of her experience: I am satisfied that half o'clock not know what really asks their while you have carefully stile needs of the sick and worms have skilfully prepared a rela- dy which will cure in a short years ago I began to feel "run-extreme heat of the summer me- prated me, and when fall came prepared to take up new thie- life was very nervous; scarcely abo- more than two hours at a time advised to try Dr. Pierce's Fair scription, and was delighted wilt- Within a week I was splendidly.

James H. Mixon, Rector St. Judes and Hon. Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, writes: "Permit me to send you a few lines to strongly recommend Penny Davis' Pain-Killer.

Miss Rohrbach, who lives at No. 73 Amsterdam Avenue, New York City, and is Treasurer of the Woman's Progressive Union, wrote the following story of her experience: I am satisfied that half the doctors do not know what really ails their patients, while you have carefully studied the needs of the sick and worn-out, and have skilfully prepared a reliable remedy which will cure in a short time. Two years ago I began to feel "run-down," the extreme heat of the summer nearly prostrated me, and when fall came I was ill prepared to take up anew the burdens of life. I had headache, backache and was very nervous; scarcely able to sleep more than two hours at a time. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and was delighted with the result. Within a week I was sleeping splendidly. Continued using the Favorite Prescription" for eight weeks, The reason Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts as such a restoring tonic and strength-builder for run-down women is because it fits the needs of the womanly organism. It is not a "patient medicine" in the common view of that term; it is a ready-to-use prescription, put up under the direction of Dr. R. V. Pierce, who, many years ago, used this medicine in his large practice in all those cases where his women patients were run-down, nervous, or suffering from considerable pain at stated periods, due to irregularity or diseases of the female organs. It is not like many of the so-called tonics advertised these days, because it does not depend upon alcohol or upon any narcotic for its effect. It is purely vegetable in its composition and without alcohol. Miss Nannie B. Kyle, of Volant, Lawrence Co., Pa., had a somewhat different experience from Miss Rohrbach, but with the same result as has been the case with thousands of women before. Please accept my thanks for the good your "Favorite Prescription" did me, also for the advice sent. I had been suffering for some time from pain at stated periods and impaired general health, when I noticed your advertisement in one of our papers. I decided to write you for advice. Received a kind reply telling me just what medicine to take, and giving other advice which was very valuable, and which, I am sure, assisted much in the cure. I purchased "Favorite Prescription" and soon felt much better, so of course confirmed its use for some time. I would advise every woman in poor health to write to Dr. Pierce for advice, as he will take an interest in every case submitted to him, and will send a kind letter in reply. Respectfully yours, Miss Nannie E. Kyle. To Dr. R. V. Pierce. The diseases which weaken and torment women may in almost all cases be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used with "Favorite Prescription" whenever a laxative is required. Chas. Boykin, of Acme, La., Concordia Parish, speaking of his wife's experience, says: I write you thanking you for the benefit of your wonderful "Favorite Prescription," and also the "Golden Medical Discovery." I find that your remedies have done more good than all the others that I have used. I thought my wife would die at times; now am able to say that through you and your medicine we have a fine boy two months old. Weight three days after birth, 18 lbs. It is a wonder to the people to see my wife going about with a baby. She is able to do her own housework, can walk six miles with baby without stopping and feels as though she could stand all day; so healthy, she can eat anything. Before using your medicine my wife's weight was 122 lbs., and now she is weighing 175 lbs. She only used 12 bottles of your medicine. My mother-in-law, also my sister, have been cured entirely of uterine trouble by your "Favorite Prescription." Yours respectfully, C. Chas. Boykin. To Dr. R. V. Pierce. The first experience of maternity is often followed by a quick convalescence which gives no hint of loss of strength as the result of the trying ordeal. Youth with its undrained vitality makes for the young mothers' health and happiness. But later maternal experiences bring a different result. The care of a family, multiplied household duties, and very often weakness caused by womanly disease, tend to prolong the suffering of maternity and to make convalescence a slow and weary process. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription prepares the wife for maternity. It promotes the appetite, cures nervousness and sleeplessness, and gives a consciousness of buoyant health. It gives great muscular strength and elasticity and makes the baby's advent practically painless. It is unexcelled as a strengthening tonic for mothers during the period of convalescence. Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women.
