Dumas as q Duellist.

One,night at the theater of 8 n Carlo,
Naples. Dumas the elder (the celebrat-

By the way, Dumas left Naples under
peculiar circumstances. . .r :.
One fine morning he printed an arti-
Gle in which he handled the ltailan
people in q manner more vigorous tnan
courteous.
A. EIGHT o'clock the paper came out !;

called meeting Of the 120 friends OF

Chinese Review.

A Chinese review has just been WIT
messed and described by correspondent
of the Shanghae Courier. The men,
clad in uniforms of red and blue, were
ranged in two ranks, every tenth man
holding a bright scarlet flag, while q
sergeant in the middle gave the time to
the advance by waving huge crimson
standard. At the sound Of horn. which
resembled the humming OF glgant1c
bee, the battalion prepared to receive
cavalry. Out popped a soldier brandlsh-
ing pike, which he poked at an
imaginary assailant, then uttering q
sLriek Like an owl, he fourished his
shield. turned somersault, and trip
ninoly retired to the ranks. When
everybody had popped out, brandished
and poked his pike, shrieked like an
owl, thrown o somersault, and retired,
the big horn hummed once more, the
soldiers formed in square, and one OF
them danced gravely but energetically
forward, throwing out his right leg with
graceful jerk then bounding back.
ward he again danced forward, this
time throwing out his left. Then he
jumped. he waltzed, and capered, he
pranced, he turned head ever heels,

neck while he hourished his legs in the
air, recovered himself, graspedl wildly
with his arms at nothing in particular.

srectacle the review concluded.

Was quizzing witness and looking for flaws
The witness, who owed him personal gradge
Provoked him until he appealed to the judge
~ demand, sir" he cried, with 6ery-red
face,
"a little attention while trying this case."
"Your honor" responded the meek little man
"Im paying as little as any one can"
The Judge, with frown,
Looked solemnly down
On the squabble, and said, from the bench
where he sat-
that
Said young Romeo Butts to Miss Claribel Cults
(As they.stood in a parlor resplendent with

With weA Lome sigh, "Oh, cannot tell why,
But somehow, feellike fool here tonight.
Said Miss Claribel Quits to Romeo Butts,
With pitiless smile that she could not con-
cesl

you say,
For you certainly look all you say that you

Words of Wisdom.

He who is hasty fishes in an empty
pond. ~.
He who knows himself best esteems
himself least. :. g.. =
Applause is the spur of noble minds,
the end and aim of weak ones.
Innate rudeness, in spite of restraint,
will betray itself by awkwardness.
The secret pleasure Of generous
act is the great minds great bribe.
To give good accounts of your COM
petitors inspires the belief in your own
prosperity. ... .
Experience teaches us indulgence ;
the wisest man is he who doubts his own
Judgment with regard to the motives
which actuate his fellow-men.
Our eyesight is the most exquisite OF
our senses, yet it does not serve US to
discern wisdom !; if it did, what glow
Of love would she kindle within US.
True love is eternal, infinite, and
always like itself. 1t is equal and pure,
without violent demonstrations it is
seen with white hairs and is always
young in the heart. ----5- -.-.-
Sin first is pleasing, then it grows
easy, then delightful, then frequent,
then habitual, then confirmed then the
man is impenitent, then he is obstinate,
then he is resolved never to repent, and
then he is ruined.

covered her face with her hands. "Why
did you notice the ring?" she said.
"Of whom do I remind your"
"Of my mother" said Blanca. "My
mother, who on the day of our arrival in
this country, left me with my sister
upon the Battery. She was killed in the
street, though / did not know Of it for
years afterward. An old man-good and
kind, but very poor-cared for me. I
never saw my sister again. / came to
see you, signora, to ask you what one
could do with good voice and love for
music, but with little musical education.
I heard you were charitable, but-Oh,
signora, what does it mean? As we sat
on that bench on the Battery, my sister
and I, our mother gave US each one of
her golden earrings to playwith. See !

She drew it from her bosom.
"Your name?" cried the prima

"Bianca," said the girl.
"I am Francesca I" cried the other.
She held out her arms, and the next

Francesca had been adopte9;by rich

Hat Poisoning.

An "Old Halter writes to the New
ark IN. J.) AdUertiser In your paper
of. the 29th ult., there was an article
headed "How Haiters aze Poisoned" "
The men are afflicted with a nervous
shaking Of the hands and arms, and
sometimes of, the head and L have
known instances where the teeth could
be picked cut. with the fingers. In
many cases they ara unable to get cup
to their lips without help. The attic
tiorl is called "The Shakes" and, as
stated, is charged to the /" carrot used
on the fur. It is made by saturating
nitric acid with quicksilver, to one part OF
which an eighth of water is used to wet
the fur on the skins, and when dry q
hot iron is passed over them, which
gives the fur yellow tinge called yell
low carrot. This has been used ever
since Int bodies have been made OF fur,
and until of late without any bad ct.
fects, and in some of7the large factories
the men are not troubled. L believe
the workmen on fancy colors are exempt
from them, although the same carrot
is used--only the ironing is omitted and
is called white carrot. But / suspect
the black color has much to do with the
trouble. The salts of copper are all
poison. and they abound in the dust
from the hats; especially in tadly.ven-
tilated rooms, which are where the
"shakes" are found to prevail in the
winter and disappear as tho weather
will permit of free ventilation In the
spring. :.
The writer has worked at th0lbusi-
ness many years in the largest factories,
has made the carrot and used it without
being in the least affected by it, and
feels satisfied that some other cause
must be at the bottom OF the trouble.
The furs are now nearly ali prepared in
Europe, and some other chemicals may
be used, but I think not. l lind In
Ure's Dictionary OF the Arts the same
formula, The use of carrot on the ful
is to make its felt close and firm, which
raw stock will not do. I would suggest
to the doctor to see if arsenic may not
be the cause. Examine the verdlgrlt
used for it.
Nearly all the hats worn in the United
States are made in Newark, Orange
Danbrry, Norwalk and Brooklne
amounting to many millions Of dollars
yearly, and employing thousands OF me1
and women, New York being the great
center of distribution for all the coun'
try.

Flax Culture.

The common fax is native of Egypt
or possibly the elevated plains of central
Asia, but though no doubt q native Of
warm climates, the fiber attains its
greatest fneness and perfection in tenn
perate regions the seed being richer in
the tropics. Flax is more extensively
and more successfully cultivated in
Belgium than in any other European
country, particularly in East and West
Flanders, in which the most beautiful
fax in Europe is produced, being EN-.
ployed for the manufacture of the
famous Brussels lace, and sold for this
purpose at $500 to $500 per ton. I'm.
mense quantities of an inferior product
are also raised and exported from Rus
sia, especially from the countries bor-
d derisg as Sav Sa ths Rltis mI5
the low countries before the-ciose OF the
seventeenth century. Flax has been
cultivated from time immemorial as
winter crop in India, but only for its
see,l, and not at all for its fiber.
The estimated production of fax in
Russia in 1868, was 193, 900 tons; in
1859, 800, 600 tons. In Holland there
we're 10 1859, 66, 272 statute acres under
fax. producing 1921 tons; in 1870,
60, 500 acres, producing 8,918 tons.
In Belgium, there were at the latest
official census, 142, 612 acres under flax,
producing 29,582 tons. In Prussia, in
1870. throughout the eight old pro-
vinces 346, 800 acres under fax, while in
Austria there we're in 1871, 253, 730
acres under fax, producing A, 523 tons.
In Hungary, the, yield was Is, 15O tons.
Tie average acreage appropriated to the
growth of fax in France, is 16O,650
statute acres, and about 1900 acres
are sown with flax in Egypt every year.
The entire produce in Ireland has never
exceeded "a, ,506 tons (1864), and ii has
sunk as low as IL, 929 tons Cin 1917.
The acreage under fax in Ireland in
1864, was 3O1, ,693 ; in 1868, 206, ,446, and
in 1871, l56,S83. The acreage under
fax, however, is not always an accurate
guide to the produce, since In 1871,
I56. 1888 acres produced only Is, ,612 tons
of fax, while in 1872, 122 COS acres pro-
duced 18, 920 tons. In 1872 there we're
IA OIL acres under fax in England,
eighty-four in Wales, and l 1852 in Scot
land. In 1870 the United States pro-
duced 1857 tons of fax, of which
quantity the State of Ohio alone raised
8, $40 tons. Thirty-two States produce
fax in large or small quantities.

Skating on Artificial Ice.

The whole interior of Gilmore's gar
den is to be foored. Besides the lumber
1000 iest of iron pipe have been carried
into the garden. These are to be grid
ironed across the whole floor and filed
With a freezing mixture. Then the floor
will be flooded and the whole surface
transformed into CLASSY sheet of ice
for skating. q"
MIR. T. L. Rankin, who for many
years has been making ice artifcially at
the South, has the enterprise in charge.
The large steam engine, now in the
building, will pump the freezing mix
ture from a tank $50 feet long, now
building under the north gallery. The
plan is to cover the wooden floor with a
water. proof material or tarpaulin which
may be readily taken up. Upon this
the pipes will be laid. Ice, pipes and
tarpaulin may easily be removed at any
time, leaving ballroom floor soon
dried by steam. Professor Gamges's
rink of artificial ice in London measured
1923 feet. The ice lake in Gilmore's
will have surface area of over 5000
feet. The first cost will be large, but
MIR, Rankin thinks the cost of mainte-
nance will be little. The garden will
be warmed as it is now, and 80 rapid
is the congelation from the use OF the
freezing mixture, that one OF the features
of the. exhibition will probably be the
spraying or flooding of the surface each
evening and the freezing of the water
in twenty minutes. The plan is to
throw the garden open daily for all who
may wish to skate, reserving seats for
auch as may wish to look on. Frank
Swift has been engaged to attend daily
and give lessons in skating, and he and
others will give exhibitions of their
gkill. It is intended also to make a
"speeding track nine feet wide on the
,,resent course. on which long. distance
nkaters may show their speed and en-.
tlurance. Before MIR. Vanderbilt would
consent to this new enterprise he insist.
ed upon q trial experiment. a tank
thirty-two feet long was built, in which
the pipes were placed. By forcing the
freezing mixture through them with q
hand pump water was turned to
dry ice inside of ten minutes, and when
a fresh surface was asked for two buck,
etfnls of water thrown upon the Ice
became dry, hard ice in the same num-
ber of minutes. During the holiday
week this pond was maintained, and sc
well satisfied was Mr.. Vanderbilt with
the test that arrangements were at once
made with Mr.. Rankin for the use OF hlf
appliances. MIR. Rankin says the lake
viii be ready for use three days after the
fioor ia laid. Next summer Mr.. Rankin
will remove a portion of the piping te
Coney island and establish there g
skating rink. while another section Will
