Dunaas the Elder.

The essence of Dumas art consists
in a conception of life without con-
science, without dread of death, or of
the dreams that may come when we
have shuffled off this mortal coil.
He was not a thinker. OF Hamlet
Dumas could understand little or
nothing. No hero of Dumas is ever
sicklied DER by the pale cast Of
thought. He lives without thinking
about life-or death; lives fer the en-.
joyment and gladness of living and
of loving; lives for ambition, fight
ing, wealth and pleasure, and is al
ways gallantly ready to defend his
honor with his sword. An unbounded
self indulgence shades off into the
neutral tinted superstition engendered
by corrupt church.
These heroes are young, handsome,
graceful, brave, are full of superficial
chivalry, and of the external require
ments of nobleness. They are gener-
ally animated, vivacious, gay, Joyous,
and there is always pleasure in con-
templating men who, ruled by any
ideas, yet live and are full of life.
With his views of life it comes to pass
that this gaillard Dumas deals much
with the alliterative qualities of adj
venture. adultery, ambition, assassin
alton, and above all, he revels in a
duel-a duel fierce, determined, skill
full, deadly. He is true lover of the
sword, specially of the picturesque
rapier, combined with the fatal dag
ger. Dumas delights in the sumptuous
hilt and in the white cleaning of the
lovely blade of the knightly arme
blanche. What Gascon is to an or
dinary Frenchman that is Dumas to
all other romancers. He cares nothing
for morality when it stands in opposi-
ton to valor, passion, success, splen-
dor. His work is, perhaps, more subtly
suited to his native land than it is to
Germany or to England, but yet it
delights all that love romance and
care for the picturesque of chivalry
and even of crime. 1t is enough for
Dumas if his heroes be of noble birth,
of reckless valor, young, and with the
graces of camp and court.
His view of life is mainly snowy
and romantic; view which, as an
Alternative from sterner and nobler con-
ceptions, we can heartily enjoy. The
vigor and agility of Dumas virile and
vivacious mind and temperament al.
ways worked in fullest sympathy with
the characters that he depicted, and
with the manners and morals of the
times which he portrayed. His young
cavaliers had to each be q gallant to
his lady, warrior to his foe. Philip
Sidney, when his contracted bride,
Penelope, became Lady Rich, by a
strong effort of moral rectitude con-
quered an unlawful passion; but Du-
mas would not have sympathized with
the heroic action, and would have re-
garded the peerless paladin with much
surprise and with some contempt

Vegetables and Fruit.

People need to be frequently re-
minded of the fact that if they make a
practice of using q variety of vege-
tables and fruit as % part of their ordi-
nary diet the doctor will not be needed
to prescribe for them so frequently.
Asparagus is strong diuretic, and
forms part of the cure for rheumatic
patients at such health resorts ae AK
les-Bains. Parsley is also useful as a
diuretic, and those requiring such aid
should make free use of it, Carrots
are understood by the peasants of Sa-
voy to be a specific for jaundice, and,
although they are thought to be hard
of digestion, it is only the yellow core
that is so. Onions are admitted to be
rich in those alkaline elements which
counteract the poison of rheumatic
gout, and people who are of studious
and sedentary habits should make a
free use of them, gently stewed and
served with other vegetables.
The stalks of the cauliflower if prop
erly cooked also serve like purpose.
Celery has acquired a great reputation
as remedy for rheumatism, and in
many cases has proved beneficial
Watercress is prescribed by many
medical men as helpful to the liver
and lungs. Many other vegetables
are useful, not only for their medici-
nal properties, but as general regu-
lators of the bowels and as correctives,
and withal they contain valuable ele-
ments of nutrition which should COM
mend them apart from every other
consideration. -Queenslander.

A Queer Way of Playing BALL.

Willie Jones had an Uncle Jack
who was q sea captain and owner of q
fine trading vessc!.
Once, when Willie was 10 years
old, he took him on q voyage to Cuba.
What lots Of queer things Willie
saw. But the strangest of all was the
way monkey; play ball. Willie did
not like that much either.
One day no went to q plantation
with Uncle Jack, and while he was
talking to Mr.. Brown Willie went
into the grove behind the house.
There he found several cocoanut
trees, and while he was looking for
nuts one came crashing to the ground,
almost hitting him ON the head.
He looked up, and perched among
the branches of q tall cocoa tree sat a
monkey jabbering excitedly..
"You mean thingp cried Willie,
throwing q stick upward. Of course
he couldn't hit the monkey, but he
could make him mad.
"Jabber, jabber jabber, went the
monkey; and down camo o shower OF
the hard nuts as fast as the animal
could pick them, and Willie ran to
the house as fast as he could.
$50 you found Janta," said Mr..
Brown. He is a trained monkey, and
that is the way we gather cocoanuts. F"
II L = thought" - stammered
Willie.
"You thought that was the way
monkeys played ball, eha" laughed
Mr.. Brown. well, I suppose Janta
thinks it's play, too. He makes it
rough play, too, sometimes, for he
considers it an insult for any one to
throw stones at him, and that makos
it easier FOR us to get lots of nuts"
How funny people work here, "
said Willie, as he sat on the cool We
randa, and slipped tho rich cocoa
milk. Lewiston Journal.

The Friendship of Men.

If you want friend who is beyond
the reach of envy, of mistrust, of inf
deity, of all those sordid influences
which mar and break the friendly tie,
you will not find him in the flesh and
blood. write ''him" advisedly, be-
cause friendships of the platonic kind,
in which the opposite sex forms par
ty to the contract, are not lasting. If
pure friendships, or more specifically,
platonic love, were possible it would
be delightful relation for the highly
cultured of both sexes. But because
it is so pleasant and might allure some
from the duty they owe to nature, this
jealous dame has placed in the way
OF such alliances many obstacles-ob-
stacles which, if not insurmountable,
are sufficient to defeat the realization
of the plans. Platonic ties of this
kind are either merged into down
right affection or else they founder
on some other rock that lies in
the channel of our lives. There is
much of the idol in platonic friend
ships, but it is too fine metal to wear
well. Tho best friendships are that
between man and man-such as the
friendly bonds that encircled Damon
and Pythias, Achilles and Patroclus,
David and Jonathan, Orestes and Py-
ladies', Pyrodes and Musidorus. When
mon become friends in earnest there
are some lasting qualities in the tie.
Such friendships between women are
very rare But even in the case of
manly affection one for another there
are circumstances in which the tie
could and would be ruthlessly broken.

The Slcdge and the Deer.

The body of the sledge is placed very
high on a pair of long thin runners,
having a gradual curve and projecting
about four feet beyond the actual
sledge, so that they break the shock
when the sledge is being driven over
rough ground. All the parts of the
sledge are lashed together with rein
deer skin thongs, and it is owing to the
great elasticity and pliancy thereby
given to the whole fabric that these
himsy constructions resist the very
rough treatment to which they are as
a rule subjected.
The method of Harvesting the deer
is of the simplest; broad leather hoop
passes round the neck; to this is
fastened the long thong, which serves
as a trace, and which passes down the
chest between the fore legs and out
between the hind legs.
The driving is done with q single
rein, which is fastened to crooked
piece of bone or wood fastened imme-
diately over the ball of the eye, one of
the tenderest parts in the reindeer, and
which, if scientifically jerked to the
right or left, causes the animal to an
swer to the rein very quickly. The
outside deer on the near side is the
only one provided with this arrange
ment, and the biggest and Oldest deer
are always placed in this responsible
position, the others being kept to their
work by the "chave," or long driving
pole. A good leading" deer is the
most valuable of a Samoyede's posses
sions, and will often cost as much as
three or four ordinary deer. The usual
number of deer harnessed to sledge
is three; but this, of course, varies ac-
cording to the weight carried, age of
the deer, etc. .-Murray's Magazine.

furrier, who astonished the newspaper
man by telling him that there was al
ways good market for pussies' pelts
Five cents apiece" said he, lis
what we pay for common skins, ten
cents for maltese pure, ana twenty
five cents for black. OF course they
must be in good condition. Some male
cats are so given to back fence war
fare that their hides become consider
ably damaged. The fur of the sleek
and well fed domestic pussy is what
we find most available for our pur-
poses. Street cats are usually too rag
ged and coarse haired to be useful"
And what are the purposes Of
which you speak2"
1.-THE imitation of more expensive
furs, chiefly. The French dye them
very skillfully, and in that way trans
form the humble tabby after death
into the regal ermine or other beast of
rare and costly skin. The pure black
and maltese and the tortoise shell are
not dyed, but made to serve in the nat
ural colors. Rugs of selected tortoise
shell and maltese are already becom-
ing quite fashionable, and the best
ones are far from cheap. The only
use made of cats pelts in this country
is in the manufacture of carriage
robes, but vast numbers of them are
sent from the United States to Europe,
where they are made into coats, hats.
rugs, dressing gown Innings and other
garments.
''Taxidermists, too, in other parts of
the country are advertising for kittens
by the thousand for stuffing. In the
process they employ the skin is first

ming down the legs are fixed. The
skin is then shown up and the ami
NAL formed into Il desired position.
The final operation is putting in the
eyes. Fastened upon a scrap of red
flannel III this manner, q small black
kitten makes very pretty pen wiper.
"But where do all the skins come
from?"
MANY are brought into the city es
tablishments that advertise for them
by small boys who are glad to earn
pocket money by the comparatively
easy method of assassinating q few
unfortunate cats; but the main supply
is contributed by professional fur col
lectors in the different part of the
country who shoot them. The ravint
woods of New England are full o.
them running wild. They breed won
derfully fast under such seemingly ad
verse conditions and can bepopped of
the fence and walls with ease by al
expert marksman. A first rate lal
robe of catskin is worth $40 or $50
Yes, indeed, pussy is beginning to b.
recognized as fur bearing animal
and, instead of drowning the kittens
people will before long be propagatins

1000 or more feet beneath tho surface Of tho

arc to bo formed Of tho leaves and cars Of
corn Tho frieze over the columns and the
two panels next to the towers arc to be
formed of mosaics, the grains Of variously
colored corn being used instead Of the small
pieces Of marble.
An American kitchen will bo established,

then great red and white column of fire shot
