ALEXANDER DUMAS, in his later role of
social reform, has now undertaken to bring
about the changes he believes desirable by
directly influencing the laws. Just now
he is waging with great vigor war upon
the French law which refuses to permit an
unmarried woman to prosecute or even re-
veal the name of the father of her children
The French theory is that to permit this
would be to endanger the peace and securi-
ty of society on the principle apparently
that the happiness of welded homes would
be wrecked by the knowledge of the mis-
deeds of the husband. But it is easy to
see how this law puts premium upon
one of the worst forms of social crime
and more particularly leaves the ignorant
girls of the lower classes practically at the
mercy of rich and unprincipled debau-
ches. Dumas points his arguments with
some moving tales of the misery and in
justice to which this law has given rise,
and he urges the enactment of new law,
bachelor shall give his illegitimate child
his own name and be forced to support it,
while if he is married or poor he shall be
imprisoned from two to five years. Abor-
ton shall be punished by from 10 to 90
years, infanticide with death, and the false
accusation of man with the penalty visi-
ted upon perjurers, or that given for for
gery-from 10 to 20 years at hard labor.
Such is the scheme or Dumas, the amateur
Lycurgus.

by the connection with California from
Portland, trains will run through from
st. Paul to San Francisco via Oregon in
the same time now made by the Union and

ORIENTAL scholars in England are said
to be a good deal stirred up over the re-
puted discovery of manuscript fragments
of the book of Deuteronomy, which not
only antedate any other copy of the book,
but are far older than any other known
writings upon soft material, ether than
Egyptian. The credit of this discovery
if it be one, is due to NJ. W. Shapiro,
Russian Jew living in Jerusalem who is
we'll known to psychologists. His story Is
that hearing that the Arabs of Diban in
Nioul possessed IN ancient tribal tails
man, he hired some Arabs to steal it for
a few piasters, and that they succeeded af-
ter five years, when it proved to
be small and dirty pieces of leather, Gov
cred with Phoenician characters. The
scholar of the British museum and 9TH
ers have been examining these scraps and
seem to be puzzled by them. Of course
genuine discovery of this sort would
prove of the highest value, for the manu-
script would prove beyond doubt the an
tiquity of the book, which has of late
years been critically disputed, while the
differences from the accepted version
would, on the other hand. still further
shake the faith in the verbal inspiration of
the scriptures. But Shapira's story mustbe
taken with all the allowance due to the claim
of man who has large fortune at stake,
and the memory of some of his previous
fraudulent finds" will be calculated to
check the easy growth of confidence. The
new book of Deuteronomy may prove it.

most of his tribe, was noted for accumu-
lating wealth and was large taxpayer
for years in Bitter Root. Something over
three thousand head of cayuse horses bear
his brand in the hills, and he is said to
have had $4,000 in money hidden away in
his cabin. A barrel of coffee and three
large beeves were served in his memory.
The ceremony lasted about half an hour,

TIMELY TOPICS.

CHICAGO completed the fiftieth year OF
Its incorporation few days since. When
inco rporated it had only small village
popui alton. At that time st. Louis had a
popul alton of $4,000, Cincinnati about
10000, Philadelphia $4,000, New York
100000. Chicago cast forty-six votes
August 10, 1888. Since that date, 1t has
outstripped all the cities of that day ex-
cept New York and Philadelphia, and now
contains population of 100000 or over.
New York founded in 1850 did not reach a
population of 100000 till 1850, and Phila-
delphia did not reach that number till
1860. By this it will be seen Chicago &C.
complished as much by way of growth in
fifty years as New York did in 200. Mar
vellous and phenomenal has been Chicago's
growth, and it is still stretching onward.

One OF THE STRANGEsT FUNERALS ON record
was that of DIR. j. S. Ford of Hagerstown,
Ind, which occurred at West Sonora, Ohio,
two weeks ago and OF which the following ac-
count is given He died of heart disease, af-
ter being bedfast three months. He was IF
ty-six years old, and his widow, his third
wife, whom he married three years ago, is
twenty-one. He made a cast-ron will Civ
ing his widow $4,000. He also left sums of
5000 and $500 each to all the women who are
now maids or widows whom he courted in his
unmarried days. This required $1,000.
Notes outstanding on people who would be
pushed to pay them he destroyed to the
amount of So, 900. The hired girl and all his
wife's relatives were remembered in small
sums. Two weeks before his death he en-
ployed and paid the Rev. Mr.. Shackleford of
the Methodist church $25, and the Rev. Mr.
Warrington of the Christian church $l5 to Of
ficiRte at his funeral. Immediately after this
he sent for the railroad agent at Hsgerstown,
and chartered q train of one baggage and
three passenger cars to take his remains and
40 friends to his funeral at West Sonora,
Ohio. He paid for this in advance, and also
sent cash to the best hotel in West Sonora for
dinner for the entire funeral party. Not a
detail in the funeral was forgotten, even ia
the floral tributes. His orders were fully
carried out, and when his body was laid in

Natures Cure for Consumption.

The May and June numbers of the Popular
Science Monthly contain interesting papers
from the pen of DIR. Felix Oswald on the
remedies Of nature" for consumption, which
he thinks is more easily cured than any other
chronic disease When the ravages of this
terrible foe to human life are considered, any
suggestions which may tend to lessen the
number of its victims are of special impor-
tanoe. Statistics prove that in the United
States, without counting acute pneumonia and
other fatal lung diseases, tuberculosis claims
one life in every 40 or 4l5, an estimated ag-
pregate of "a 600 Iu Great Britain and Ire
land the proportion is greater, being about
one in every 800 inhabitants. For the last
fifty years its ravages have steadily increased,
but Dr. Oswald cheerily declares "the excess
of the evil has finally revealed the means of
deliverance, and the worst scourge of the hu-
man race has one redeeming feature, that its
cause, aud consequently it's cure, have at last
been determined with absolute certainty
The population living at an elevation OF
1000 feet above the sea level have been shown
to be quite free from consumption. What
the doctor calls indigestion of respiration
is bred by humid climates and stagnant air.
Consumption being recognized as 2ymouc
disease, it follows as a natural sequence that
it must be aggravated by filth and rapidly de-
veloped by an impure atmosphere. DR.. Os-
valid believes in the theory OF the German
DR.. Koch that parasites are phase of the dis
ease, but maintains that their appearance does
not amount TO a death sentence. Cease to
feed the lungs with azotic gases, Le says,
land DIR. Koch's animalcula will starye and
disappear" Dr. Oswald claims that all ex-
cept the last stages of consumption can be
cured by outdoor exercise. He condemns
the night-air superstitions, and recommends
mountain excursions, even to the extent of a

CRUsHINd AN UNBELIEvER While the
steamer was lying at Waterproof, La, on the
way down the river, a little bald headed, hook
nosed man from Tennessee got into a relig-
ious discussion with tall long wasted man
from Arkansas. They had it hot and heavy
for a while the little man doubling that the
whale ever swallowed Jonah or that Daniel
was cast into the lions den. We expected to
see the big man reach out for him every min
ute, but he was man who always went by
the programme. After the boat started out
he went to the captain and asked:
"How far is it to the next landing ?"
"We shall stop at plantation twelve miles
down"
"What would be the expense of stopping
this steamer and sending out boat to pick
up manT'
81 wouldn't want to lose the time for less
than So. Why do you ask ?"
Because" replied the man, as he pulled
out a roll Of bills and hunted for a five,
''there's little pinch of man back here
who's got to own up that the ravens fed Eli
jah or I'm going to heave him overheard !!
Here's your cash and you can get your small
boat ready"
Several passengers combined to argue him
out of the idea, and though he finally con-
cluded to abandon it, he brought his fist down
hard on the rail and said:
"Well, then, ! won't, but I'll slip around
there after while, and if he denies that we
whipped the British at Bunker Hill I'll have
his ears or never show my face agin in old
Arkinsaw !"-DetrOH Free Press
