The following story from the life Of M.
Dumas, the elder, says the Partisan pa
prrs, has never been published before.
One day the great novelist had to pay a
draft OF 1000 francs. If he could not
pay 1t the doors Of the prison at Clicby
we're open for him. Walking along the
boulevards aud meditatinQ on his posi-
non, he came across one of his fellow
workers, rs yet unknown, who had only
few days ago been admitted into the
society of Dramatic Authors. His
clothes were shabby, his hat of advanced
age, he himself was long and thin, with
flat feet, ard a walking stick in his hand

a cab anu drove to Scribe's, where Du-

dashed into Scrlbe's room, exclalming,

stepped to the window and saw the
stranger keeping guard near the vehi

the latter took his departure in great
haste. HIS companion received 500
francs and the rest be kept himself. A
few days later meeting was held by the
Society Of Dramatic Authors, at which
Scribe presided. There we're only few
members present, and Dumas, with his
fellow worker, sat III the first row. Ga
rising to open the meeting, Scribe
recognized the shabby fellow, and an
grIly called for the servant to throw the
police officer out of the room; Such

How China is Governed.

FROM the London SPECTATOR
Subject to certain Immovable customs,
the emperor, IN his capacity of father of
the people, can 10 theory give any order
and can in practice punish with decapi-
tation or exile auy official or person who
disobeys it. He is in all serious affairs,
however, obliged to consult, though not
to obey, rather large group Of PRICES
of his dynasty and great mandarins,
who divide the departments and the
great viceroyalties among themselves.
The dynasty, moreover, being foreign,
Is compelled to respect the army, to some
extent, while this army is. for financial
reasons, so limited in number that it Is
difficalt to garrison the empire, and i'm
possible to hold it down for an hour. L
is the tradition of the court, therefore,
never seriously to offend either the army
of the people In such a way as to pro
woke emeutes, more especially in Pekiu
At present the emperor is a boy, only
just twelve years of age, and all real
authority belongs TO a widow of the last
full-grown emperor, Hen Fung-who is
called the press-mother, but is not
the mother of the emperor, Prince
Kung, Ii HING Chang, the favorite OF
the native Chinese, and two or three
less known high officials. They can
send out auy orders they please aud are
obeyed, but they cannot afford to risk
the Instructions which would follow
any great affroDt 10 the pride of the
people, such as the session OF Tor quin
would he. China, in fact, is a more
solid Turkey, with sultan, pashas, army
and mob sharing power 10 unequal de-
grees. As in Turkey, too, all four are
bound in the chain OF law that cannot
be modified.

Hints for The EsOusehotd.

EITHER pickles or catsup should be
eaten with cold meat.
CELERY is good for headache. and is
an excellent brain food.
AN extra mat, an old one, should be
placed IN the hallway on a rainy dav.
To take out ink stains soak in milk for
several hours, then apply little lemon
juice.
SILVER, either plated or solid, should
be washed in hot suds and dried quickly
with soft cloth.
The most healthful nightcaps for
keeping the hair smooth are made out of
soft cotton and are crocheted.
BUNCH of peacock feathers tied with
ribbon makes pretty ornament to
hide bad spot on the parlor wall.
A PATCH should always be put in
square or oblong, and the same carefully
dampened and pressed afterward on the
wrong side.
To prevent children losing their nit
tens or gloves, sew ON each one a long
ribbon and fasten the ribbon to the in
side of the coat sleeve.
DISHES to shine brightly should be
washed first in suds aud then dipped in
clear hot water and let drain. They re-
quire little or no drying.

should be fastened with -four paste.
FEATHERS slightly uncurled by the
damp air may be restored by holding over
a bot stove, then shaking and repeating
until CURED. Care should be taken not
to burn the feather.
JEwELRY may be nicely cleanaed by
dipping in hot soapy water and polish
ing with little white powder and a
piece of chamois. A cameo should be
scrubbed with fine toothbrush and a
little powder.

The Fruit Garden.

Gather up old stakes, labels, etc, and,
If no longer useful, take them to the
burn heap. Unfinished pruning of grape
vines, currants, ETC., may be completed
IN mud weather, and cuttings made of
the prunings. These should be tied in
convenient bundles, labelled, and
covered in the cellar with sand, or earth.
Tender raspberries must be bent down
and covered with few inches of earth.
Grape-vines, even the hardest, will be
greatly benefited by similar treatment,
so long as the vines are young enough
to be laid down. Give strawberries vet
uncovered their winter protection of
marsh hay, straw or leaves. Leaves may
be kept from blowing away by laying
brush upon them or sprinkling a little
eartn over them. If new paintings are
to be made next spring, the same care
should be given TO the selection of var.
ieties of small fruits as is recommended

HSOg-kiIsIuQ Time

The trouble with many farmers is that
they do not raise the right kind of pork.
They have not rea1zed the fact that the
hog, like other animals, has been bred
TO suit the purposes of all. The major
lty of carcasses are too large and coarse,
and devoid of quality. 1t is the obie t
of most farmers to grow large hogs as a
matter OF economy, but economy does
not include bulk alone. Poor meat is
not desirable, nor is lard, exclusive IL
Large carcasses are crowded with fat,
the usual boast being that it is of a Ger
tain depth of thickness, hut while such
meat may be suitable for the packing
houses, the point to be kept 10 view is
to impress on farmers that the meat for
the family should consist of that which
is interspersed with fat and lean. While
the sides are always heavy with fat, the
hams and shoulders should be full. Ii
Is not necessary to keep the hogs small
IN order TO do this, but to breed for it.
Fortunately we can do 80. We have the
Berkshire, with his prominent hams,
from whom to obtain.
Christmas is about the period when
the hogs on the farm are slaughtered.

The Benefits OF Drainage.

The land can be utilized for crops to
the depth that it Is drained, but no
deeper. Drainage not only deepens the
soil, but improves its texture and quail
Ity. The air will penetrate the soil as
deep as it IS drained ndimpart to it fer
tlbzIng qualities; IT enables us to work
sooner alter rains; it makes the ground
much warmer, and does it much sooner
by the warm rams passing through it; ii
enables Us to get at our work much
earlier in the spring; 1t starts our crops
two weeks earlier; 1t prevents crops
from freezing out in winter; it enables
us to get the full benefit of manures that
would be soaked and w4shed away if not
drained; it improves the quality of hay
and pasture; 1t gets our field In a
cleaner and healthier condition; it pre-
vents surface washing; it maks the sur
face more friable aud mellow, and easier
70 cultivate; 1t prevents land from be-
coming sour, by removing all standing
water before it becomes stagnant: it
banishes the chills and fever, and Other
forms of malarIal diseases.
Tile drainage Is much the cheapest
and most effrctual way of drying up wet
aud muddy roads; 1t will assist in dry
ing up the mu1 around the farm build
ings; it will change that pale and sickly
hue from your ehildren's complexion to
that of the blooming rose. AS more of
the mysteries of vegetable growth arr
solved, the more will successful farmers
learn of the great benefit of tile drain

Always Freak The Skins,

Many persons cannot safely eat so de-
hclous and nourishing food as green
com, or even green peas: and those who
do so often suffer, unconscious of the
cause. Currants, green or ripe, raisins
or dried entrants IN cake, are as bad for
some people as gravel stones. Children
suffer diarrh@a from eating small fruits.
Beans, which are among the most nutri-
tlous foods, cause severe Indigestion
with some, unless they are boiled to a
soft mass or porridge. There is a good
reason for ali this. One of the benefi-
cent provisions of nature is TO secure
the widest possible diffusion of seeds.
Some are supplied with wings, as in the
thistle, and maple, etc., SO that the
winds float them TO distant points. But
by far the larger number of seeds are
carried and scattered by birds or other
animals, mainly iu their excrements.
10 prevent their being digested within
the body, most of them are covered with
a thin, hard skin, called the cuticle.
