The Prince of PlagiaIists.

Our readers will, of course, jump to the conclusion that we mean Alex ander Dumas, and they will be right Here was man renowned through out the world as the greatest TO- mancer of the age, and yet in all the long list of the works bearing his name there were probably not more than half dozen that were really the product of his own pen. Dumas was quadroon. He was born in an ob- scure town in France, and when he went to Paris at the age of twenty he was not even half educated. He had read nothing he could not spell; he spoke 8 country p0tots. This green youth, with everything against him, went to work to win name in litera- ture. After much labor he succeeded in getting several of his plays on the stage, but without much success. From the first he was accused of pla- giarism. At last he brought out "Monte Cristo" and found himself famous. Then he wrote "The Three Guardsmen." These novels delighted and dazzled the reading world, and the popular author at once engaged 8 number of assistants and began to take wholesale contracts for supplying the world with literature. In one year he turned out forty volumes. Con- tinued success made Dumas bold. He not only used the works of his assist ants, but he purchased the works of bright young writers, put his name to them and published them as his own. During his literary career 1 200 volumes were published bearing his name. His earnings were enor- nous, and hespent millions in building one of the most gorgeous castles in France. In the meantime his debts kept pace with his pen, and, although he earned $50,000 for many years, he found himself in his old age resorting to all manner of shifts to raise little money, and when he died, in 1870, he was without cent. His magnificent castle had passed into other hands and his numerous fortunes had been squandered. It must not be supposed that Dumas was an ordinary plagia- rist. He was man of genius, and he exercised the greatest possible care in his selections and remodelling stories, and adding incidents and dialogue. This method is justified by theory of what he called conquest. "The man of genius," he said, "does not steal; he only conquers. Every one arrives in his turn, and at his hour seizes what his ancestors have left and puts 1t into new shapes and combina- tions." When we talk about plagia- rists, let us begin and end with Dumas.

who are acquainted with my case, to know my restoration to health is now only question of time.
 The weather is pretty warm here now. Eighty-six above zero. There is cool breeze moving here all the time, which makes it quite refreshing, and the nights are cool and nice for rest. AS for the people, I have failed to see that rough, uneducated class so much talked of in the north. In- stead found good schools, churches, and cordial people to welcome me in this land of strangers. The loveliest sight of all is the fruit trees when in bloom. It seems as though the world was one mass of flowers. Arkansas can be called the rose garden of Eden, for the roses are perfectly at home here. The trees are so ladened with fruit it seems impossible for them to bear their burden until they ripen. Arkansas, like great many other states, puts her worst foot forward, but when her hidden minerals and other advantages are unfolded to the world in the not far. of future, she will compete with any state in the Union. AS for snakes, so much to be dreaded by northerners, haven't seen one since I came here, although sup pose there are snakes here, which are very poisonous, ii we take pains to look them up. hope before another winter passes over your home you will take warning and come to this land of fruit and flowers. Yours, with best wishes and love,

To Make Match scratchers.

Japanese figures are always ornamental
one way is to make match scratchers out of
them. Cut out card board the shape OF
full dressed japanese figure; paint the face
and hands and the everlastingly accompany
ing fan; then paint bright Strips and Orna-
mentS along the edges of the gown, leaving
the whole of one unOrnamented side to be
coated with thick g or varnish over which
sprinkle white sand. If the face, hands, fan
and ornaments are all allowed to dry thor
DugnIy the figure, which has just been coated
all over the plain places with varnish or glue,
can be laid face downward in "a box of sand
so that it will adhere more evenly to the sur
face.
Talking of match scratchers, [ have made
a number of original ones out OF sand paper.
They save the wall and are quite ornamental
One of the simplest is a sheet of the sand pa
per painted to represent an old mill with a
storm coming up over far away hills. In
painting these use an old worthless bristle
brush, as the grit of the hard sand soon
wears it out. l use either oil or water cOlOrs
preferring the former well weakened with
turpentine to make it flow easily. Another
design is a desert scene, with camelS drinking
from a stone trough under a group of palms
Away in the distance the pyramids are SEEN
giving it truly Egyptian appearance The
water trough is box fastened to One-half
the bottom OF the SneeC Oh sand paper and the
cames' heads reach down into it, apparently
Another design is of a girl carrying an UNI
-painted-with half a market basket
in relief this is to hold the matches There
is IL street scene with a corner and lamp post,
and the more one scratches the sand paper
the more the picture looks as if the rain were
really coming down, for every time match
is lighted it leaves long streak across the
picture.
"A design of a fat old lady selling melons in
market is a cute one In front of her is
half of a big basket-like a round busheI
baskerville all around her lie big green
and yellow melons and pumpkins. Over her
head is painted big umbrella, and no mat
ter how many matches are lighted across her
smiling, fat visage, she never seems one bit
afraid of getting wet. The basket holds the
matches, of course.-Eva Best in Detroit

About Picture Hanging.

Most people who are fortunate enough to
be the possessOrs of oil paintings know that
they should never be hung in a strong light,
for if so hung they soon take on faded,
washed out appearance; but perhaps these
same people do not know that chrLmOs suffer
in the same way if exposed for any length of
time in a strong light. The word chrome
has an uninviting sound, being associated
with the advertising card; yet there are many
very fine chromOs that even the most artistic
would not be ashamed to hang up in their
homes. The art of chrome making has
reached so near perfection in the last few
years that many of the finer grades of
chromos are much more preferable to the in
ferior grades of oil paintings
Very often in pictures such as Autographs,
steel engravings or any of those that have
glass over their faces, dust is observed be-
tween the glass and picture, making an ugly
mark on the face or margin of the paper.
This is caused by the back of the picture not
being covered properly, and owing to knot
hole in the boards or the crevices between the
boards the dust works it's way in. As ''an
ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure" it is we'll to see, before the picture is
put in place, that the back is covered prop
erly. Get some smooth wrapping paper, or
lacking that, newspaper, and some paste,
gum arabic thin liquid glue. Cut the
paper large enough to cover the whole back
of the picture and extend to within an inch
or less according to the size of the picture
as a small picture will not require as much
margin as a large one) of the outside edge on
the back of the frame all around Paste it
firmly all around the edges, and there will
be no dust ON the inside of that picture while
the paper remains whole.-Boston Budget.

While great many of our young girls,

some missionary field or absolute errand of

whose neglect will injure far more than any

less very superlatively gifted for work in
those directions-can Aelp the world. This
field of which speak lies in their own

SILVER CITY NOTES.

The Illinois Central Mine, lying
west Of the famous Poorman, has
proven very rich. A survey how
ever showed that the lode from
which the rich ore was being ex-
tracted was on Poorman ground.
As soon as this fact was made plain
a compromise was made, by the
owners of the Illinois Central &C.
cepting for their mine an offer made
them by the PoOrman owners some
months ago. The latter company
has taken possession Of the Illinois
Central property and will doubtless
realize big profit from this rich
chute of ore. Many years ago the
same chute was cut from the 400
foot level in the Poorman, and at
that point run 5000 per ton. This
proves great depth and value for
the present find.
The syndicate owning the Poor
man ground made another ad-
dition to their cluster of Jewels on
Tuesday last by the purchase Of
the South Poorman mine, from w.
H. Dewey. Like Bismarck with
the German Empire, they have an
eye to symmetry and proportions in
their holidays and have this week
by taking in the Illinois, Central
and the South Poorman, filed in
two odd corners. These corners
however do more than square up,
they add two mines known to be
rich and which can be worked to
good advantage from levels in the
other mines.
Mr.. Daily Morkill, a gentleman
interested in both the Orc Elmo and
Poorman properties is now in Sill
yer City. He will relieve Mr..
Leech of the financial charge of
these properties, much to the latter's
satisfaction, as the superintend-
ency of two big groupes of mines
and mill is sufficient labor for
one man, even as busy a man as
Mr.. Leech likes to be. Mr.. Nor
kill impresses every one here as a
genial gentleman, with mind for
business.
The present outlook for a num-
Der of mines here is SO good that
everybody is jubilant AT present,
however, the highest stopper is Mr.
Howe, of the Owyhee mine. The
boys get lots of cigars out of him
He is prohibitionist and won't SCI
up anything else. Some specimens
from his late strike are exhibited
which are enough to make an
owners face wear the broadcast kind
of a smile.
