First Duels In Italy.
The first duels were fought in Italy, according to Millingen, who speaksof a miunusecript discovered at Cassel and de- scribes a duel between a father and a son in the reign of the Emperor Theod- } cric. When Charlemagne forbade wager of battle among the Lombards, he en- countered the fiercest opposition from the nobles. Early in the ninth century De Medicis, a knight, defeated in single combat the bandit Mugel, who devastat- ed the Florentine district now called after him, Mugello. Otho II granted the prayer of the nobility for the re- establishment of wager of battle in 988. Women and priests were not compelled to accept it. The Normans showed less gallantry. With them a woman had to accept, nor could she name a champion. Her male opponent, however, was buried to his waist in the earth. Armed with a club, he tried to strike her as she cir- cled around him, his weapon beipg a ball of tron at the end of a cord. If he failed to touch herat the third attempt, he was vanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so many duels were fought in Italy in the early days is that where the law does not af- ford protection one must look to single combat to retain the respect of ons’s
fellow men. In the middle ages the pS ity of Italian dnzis passes belief. ‘‘Any way of putting an enemy to death ‘ogni modo’) is good enough,’’ says one of their writers. ‘‘When an Italian spares his vanquished adversary,’’ Say 3 Brantome, ‘‘he maims his arms and legs and gives him as a memento of his kindness and generosity a hideous gash across the face.’’ Lampagnano practiced on » painted model of Galeazzo Sforza before he stabbed him. Dueling was ‘‘la scienza cavalleresca.’’— Uornbill Magazine.

Putting ® Stamp Upside Down. _
Folk in generai are not nowadays 80 careful as they were years agoin the matter of affixing postage stamps to letters and receipt stamps upon bills, and many never note whetber the stamps are the right way up or upside down. It was very different, however, before the rush and roar of this half of the century began, for it was next door to a crime, in the eyes of many, to affix a stamp with the queen’s head the wropg way up. Many were not only under the impression that her majesty would ‘‘feel offended,’’ but that if she took the matter up personally or told officials to act punishment could fol- low. There are still, however, many people who look with horror upon 4 postage stamp upside down. —-Notes and Queries.
Strange Mistake.
Old Mrs. Jones entered the drawing room unexpectedly and spoiled a very pretty tablean.
‘I was just whispering a secret in Cousin Jennie’s ear,’’ explained Charlie.
‘‘}’m sorry,’’ said the old Jady grave- ly, “that your eyesight has become 80 bad that you mistake Jennie’s mouth for her ear.’’—London Tit-Bits.

> PRINCESS VICTORIA,
fhe Simple Life of England's Queen In Her Childhoed Days.
James. Cassidy has written for St. Nicholas an article on the ‘‘Girlbood Days of England’s Queen,’’ in the course of which he says:
There was an occupation in which the wee woman of seven years, wearing a simple white gown and large straw hat, was frequently seen engaged. It was Watering the garden plants. One of those who saw her said that as he sometimes watched her intently at work he wondered which would get the most water, the plants or her own little feet.
The princess was an early riser, get- ting up at 7, frequently earlier in the summer, and breakfasting at 8 o’clock. Her breakfast was just such as any well cared for little girl who was not a princess might be expected to enjoy, bread and milk and fruit, placed ona small table by her mother’s side.
When breakfast was finished, the lit- tle princess went for a walk or a drive, while her half sister, Feodore, ber al- mest constant companion, studied with her governess. From 10 to 12 the ducb- ess instructed ’Drina, after which ahe was at liberty to wander at will through the rooms, ov to play with her many costly toys.
Two o’clock was the dinner heur of the princess, though the fant son howk of the duchess. Plain food, nicely cooked, was placed before the little
ir], and she did it justice, for she was
althy and strong and enjoyed her meals, After dinner ghe received assist- ance in her studies til] 4 0’glock, when she was taken by her mother to visit a friend or perhaps to walk or drive, or she was permitted to ride a donkey in the gardens.
At the dinner hour of the duchess her little girl supped, seated next to her mother. Then came a romp with her nurse, Mrs, Brock. By the time the romp was finished the house party would be at their dessert, and then the princess would be called in to join them.
Nine o’clock was bedtime, and she never prolonged her day beyond that hour. No matter whether she was at home or at the house of a friend, ‘‘9 o’clock bedtime was rigidly enforced.” Her little bed was placed beside her mother’s larger bed, so that by day and night mother and daughter were never far apart.
Regular study, regular exercise, sim- ple food and plenty of time out of doors, plenty of play and plenty of sleep distinguished the upbringing of Eng- land’s future queen.
