How a Play Was Produced.

A New York correspondent tells OF
the curious manner in which play by
Alexander Dumas the elder was recited
before it was written. The correspond
ent rays:
One day the opening scene flashed
on him, and in a fortnight the play was
planned and complete in his head. He
walked into tho committee. room Of the
Theater Francais 10 ask that tne com
mittee be called together that day week
to hear a comedy Of his.
$50 you have written a comedy ?"
asked one of the actors.
"No," said Dumas, "I have com.
pletcd it-but there's not line written
yet"
"Then you cannot possibly be ready
to read ii in q week.
Dumas was little incensed at their
donbting his facility, and he Turned
sharply and asked:
"The committee meets every Satur-
day. You are all here to-day. Wonld
ron like like me to read you the play
nowT
Without the manuscript ?" asked
the puzzled actors.
81 will read IL now without the man
uscript," said the author, "but on one
condition only. 1t shall count for q
formal reading, and you will at once
vote for or against its acceptance"
The committee Of actors agreed to
this, and Alexander Dumas, standing
before the fire. began to recite 10 them
" MAdemoisselle de Belle-Isle," q
comedy in fve acts, of which be had not
written one word, but which he carried
complete in his head, as Jove carried
Minerva. As he finished each act there
was applause. and after the fifth a
double round. The ballot box was
passed at once and tho unwritten play
was accepted unanimously.
"If I had died on the way home,' re.
cords Dumas solemnly. "the Theatre
Fancais would never have had the play
Il had Just agreed 10 act.H

eldcrly ladies, the latter choosing black

elderly ladies, the latter choosing black
alone.
Red plush bonnets adorned with
flaming red feathers, held by large old
fashioned paste bucklers, are the choice
OF few eccentric ladies'.
Coronet wreaths OF pure white or gay
colored flowers will be very fashionably
worn with fall evening toilets, with tho
hair arranged Ia Josephine.
Real silver and also fine steel buttons
are displayed, cut in facets which sparkle
like diamonds and look exceedingly rich
upon street jackets of embossed velvet.
Pearl-gray silk stockings, either plain
or delicately embroidered in fine pink
flowers, are the rule OF the hour. They
are worn with Stephanie sandals OF
plain black satin, fastened with tiny
silver clasps.
Scarfs, sashes and revers are made Of
the new striped and plaided fabrics in
silk and wool. In dresses OF mono
chrome color the panel facings, cami-
sole, pelerine and cuffs are frequently
made Of these bright materials.
Gloves, no matter how long, that but
ton up the arm, are no longer consid-
cred in best style. Two or three
buttons at the wrist only are allowable.
The remainder Of the glove is in a solid
piece fitting loosely over the arm.
A late French caprice is to wear ear
rings made Of real Brazilian beetles.
Another style is that of n tiny bird about
an inch long made of fine. beautiful
feathers dyed crimson and green. The
eyes Of the bird are formed Of dia.
monds.

CLIPPINGS FoR THE CURIOUS.


The butcher bird is said to impale
it's victims on thorns and devour them
at leisure.
In Rome bankrupts we're condemned

In Asia Minor the tomb Of Alyaltes.

The arm Of man, fore leg Of
quadTuped, wing of bird and fin of n
fish, all present the same bones, varied
and modified.
The whalebone of commerce, is
made, not from the skeleton Of the fish,
but from small bones in its mouth,
which act as strainers for it's food.
Wine and oil jars we're rendered i'm.
peryious 70 moisture by the ancients,
as they are at present by the people Of
Spain and Italy, by rubbing with wax.
A popularity of the silver mines Of
the new world is that they are situated
in elevated and barren tracts, where,
but for them, man would not willingly
live.

timed to be 80 in several countries
till q comparatively late period, the
legal year beginning, even in England,
on the 26th Of March, until the change
Of style in 1852.
The origin OF the celebrated order
OF Knights TempIars is due TO the
seal and piety OF nine French knights,
who, IlIs. followed Geoffrey de Bouil-
Ion to the Crusades, and there dedi-
Gated themselves TO insure the safety
OF the roads agains. the attacks of the
inGdels who mal.reated pilgrims to the
