MRS. BURNETT'S VICE.
The Author Of 'Little LORD FauntlercS"

The Author of ssLittle Lord FauntlercS"
Said to Be a Cigarette Fiend.
It is always a severe shock to come upon
enc of our idols that has been dethroned. OF
one which has done somethin 9 that makes it
unworthy Of our mental apotheosis, observes
the Indianapolis News. Some lady friends
who have been in Boston at various times
for prolonged visits were telling night or
two ago of some Of Mrs Frances Burnett's
idiosyncrasies.- They lived in the sane
house with Mrs. Burnett for several
months, and came to know the author OF
Little Lord Fauntleroy quite Well. Women
down in 'the Tennessee mountains" may
smoke and do all the disreputable things
they please, but a lady who stands at the
head las one may say in truth) OF
Americas literary women, may not do
them. Now, Mrs. Burnett does not smoke
a pipe, and did not when the visitors from
Indianapolis became acquainted with her.
But she did smoke cigarettes, and possibly
continues the practice, for the list of those
who abandon the habit after 1t is once
formed, is not long one. TWAS not the
ordinary cigarette to be had at the drug
store OF tobacconists that the literary lady
INDUCED in, but q brand specially imported
from Spain. She had. in addition, costumes
from the same land, in which she arrayed
herself when enjoying the weed. The
dark-eyed senoritas of Spain can afford
to do this unwonlanly thing, perhaps, but
can an American woman? Possibly the
thing man last excuses in woman is UNI
omanliness-that is, where the grade OF
her ill-doing is above the mere evidence Of;
her ill-breeding or vulgarity. A cigarette
smoking woman is not a particularly od1fy-;
ing spectacle.

WHEN IT'S TOO LATE.
What we DO for the Dead Wo Had Bet

What we DO for the Dead We Had Bet
ter do for the Living.
It is an odd thing, muses. Harper's Week
ly, that no sooner has death claimed our
friends for his own than we begin to say
and do q multitude of things OF little use at
all then in comparison to that which they
might have been had they come il. advance
of death. Then out OF hand we flock to the
house with offers Of assistance and proffers
OF friendship; we rob our gardens and our
lighthouses and send cut flowers in pro
fusion, and funeral wreaths and crosses and
pillows and anchors and stars to encum-
brance, and do all we can, though Late, to
hide and disguise and sweeten fate. But If
we had hocked to the house while the dead
could have been aware Of it, how much
pleasure and excitement and relief from
raonotonous or lonesome hours our sick
friends might have enjoyed when all was a
tiresorne round Of day and night and naedi-
cine and solitude; when Ii bunch OF flowers
brought in would have brought light to
the dull eyes Of joy both over the gift and
the giver, joy which no broken columns OF
tuberoses and ivies, costing small fortunes,
can bring to the eyes ct the dead!
Even could we not have been admitted to
the SICK room itself, we could have brought
there the murmur Of the outside world ny
the mere knowledge given to the patient
that we were within the gates, some break,
some cheer, some gooa
Then, too, how profuse we are with our
good words after the ears are stopped with
dust. We do not hesitate then to say all
that is true, or even more than is true in
praise of the departed It's as if we had
sudd emily discovered in the sand jewel tit
for Kings to wear; we make an outcry an6
hold it up to the light and turn it this way
and that and exclaim and marvel and al
mire and call on others to do likewise.
There is nothing too much to say about this
person now that tae place once filed is va
cart. But if we had said tenth of it all
when it might have been heard by the living
person, OF how much more worth it had
been! What JOY and satisfaction it might
have given the subjecto of it all might have
felt as if not living in vain, as II satisfied
to leave life with such appreciation. But it
was not spoken, and life went out without
it: and now we regret it, and do the same
thing over with the next friend.

MULTIPLICATION of Drugs.

A Baltimore physician in paper published
recently in a. local medical journal de-
nounces with lively earnestness the
tendency to the multiplication Of useless
drugs. The writer asserts that in the in
dex to the fifteenth edition Of the Omitted
States Dispensatory" is list of about ~
900 names Of medicinal substances, which,
allowing for duplication and repetition, he
estimates represents about 1900 remedies
Those Of acknowledge merit in this enor-
nous bulk are aptly compared to Gratiano's
reasons, s'two grains Of wheat hid IN two
bushels of chaff.'' The very existence of
this vast armory of therapeutic weapons
demonstrates the doctors weakness IN his
struggle with disease. The conquerors Of
this world are the men of few weapons; the
needless elaboration of arms is the vain re-
SORT of the feeble.

The poor Of Germany can live much

A RACE OF DWARFs.
Remarkable Specimen off Lillipatian Iribe
in Central America.

Remarkable Specimen of a Lilliputian Tribe
in Central America.
A specimen of living race OF dWarfs
who dwell in the mountainous district III
Guatemala, Central America, has been
brou ght to New York, not for exhibition,
but as an chronological curiosity for sclen-
fific men to examine The dwarf, says the
Sun, is feet 81 inches in height, by actual
measurement, but a remarkable-looklng
specimen OF humanity he was. His head
measured 26L inches in circumference and
an American hat, size 81, could be barely
forced upon his head.
A thick mass of long, straight black hair
covered his head in a thick shook and hung
down almost to his neck His skin was OF
q deep copper color and his features HAT,
like those Of the negro .ace. But be had
not the expression Of negro, nor the
color. He was undoubtedly OF Indian ex-
traction. But such an enormous though
noe illy-proportioned head, set upon SO
diminutive a body, made strange COZ.
trast. and his little arms, short legs, and
body added further to his peculiar looks.
The Indian, or whatever he might be called,
is a powerfully-built man, when his size is
taken into consideraties in fact, is verl-
table little Hercules.
His feet are five inches in length from
heel to toe and his fingers measure from
two inches to two and a half inches IN
length. His greatest popularity, however,
is in his face. His eyes are so widely sep
arated as to leave room for the eyebrows
to grow down on each SIDE OF the brldge OIL
the nose and still leave space peuWeen
them and the corner of his eyes. be IS
forty.two years of age and is priest III his
tribe.
In speaking of the strange dwarf Senior
Arteaga told the reporter that during q
fourteen-years' sojourn in Central America
and Guatemala he had heard of these little
people and determined on his leaving the
country to get specimen and bring him to
New York fer the scientists to see. He
iourneyed to the mountain home Of the
tribe of dwarfs, and after much bargaining
secured the man he now has with him. he
saws the only other representative Of the
race ever seen by white men was brother
of the man he now has, who was brought to
New York many years ago, but who died
soon after landing here. Senior Arteaga's
description of the mode of life of these lit
tie people is very interesting. They are
semi-civilized and all speak Spanish, which
is the language Of the country.
From the time of Hercdotus a race Of
dwarfs has been said to exist, and this
seems now to be proved. Only a few years
agoDu Chaillu, the African explorer, found
similar race in Central Africa, and a race
Of clif-dweIlers has been discovered in Ari-
iona. They are also dwarfs. Senior Artea-
gas discovery adds to the proof that ores
of small people do exist, and he has living
proof OF it at his house.

A monTE.cARLo ROMANCE.
Love and Life with Gold, and, Failing

Love and Life with Gold, and, Failing
Gold, Love and Death.
A Young married man of Lyons fell in
love with young married woman, says
George r. Suns in the London Referee:
They met secretly, adored each other. ana
agreed to fly together-to put the seas pc
tween themselves and their families. But
there was a slight difficulty IN the way
They had very little money for long Jour-
ney, and they wanted to be far, far away
in America for choice. Then the idea came
to the man that they would take their small
capital of G. few hundred francs and go 10
Monte Carlo aud make it into fortune-a
fortune which would enable them to I'VE III
peace and plenty on far-oH shore. 80 ~
came that one day, with a small box ana d
portmanteau, the fugitiyes arrived at monte
Carlo and put up in little hotel, where 1or
eight francs day you could have pea anu
board. They had only few francs WIN
them. In the letter which they had le1t pc
hind thew explained that from the first their
ARRANGEMENTS were complete Tney lore
saw the possibilities of the situation. lheg
would play until they had won enough 20 go
TO America or they would lose all. Ara IL
they lost all they would dis together ana
rive their friends no further trouble aoout
them.
They were few days only in Monte Car
10. They risked their louis only rev ss1 d
time. and they spent the remainder OF Sae
DAYS and evenings in strolling about the TO-
mantle sylades and quiet pathways OF tAs
beautiful gardens, whispering together Oh
love and looking into each others eyes.
The end came quickly. One evening they
went up in the soft moonlight to the lalry
land OF Monte Carlo. They entered the
Casino. They had come to their last 1eW
golden coins. One by one the crouper's
remorseless rake swept them away ana
then the lovers went out OF the not, croWoeo
rooms, out from the glare OF the chan~
aeliers and swinging lamps into the tender
moonlight again. Down "the Staircase OF
Fortune'' arm in arm they went along the
glorious marble terraces that look upon tne
sea- on to where at the foot OF the great
rock on which Monaco stands there hes the
Corda1nine. 1t was their last walk together
The lovers were going home to die.
That night, in some way which was I'M
able to ascertain, the guilty and ruined man
and woman obtained some charcoal and got
it into their bed-ro They then closed the
windows and doors and prepared for death.
They wrote a letter--a letter WMcn an
official assured me was so touching that, as
he read it in the room where they lay deao,
the tears ran down his cheeks. Then the
girl-she was but q girl-dressed herself LII
snowy white and placed in her breast sweet
bouquet of violets. Then the charcoal was
lighted and the lovers laid themselves OUT
for death, side by side, and passed dreamlly
into sleep, from sleep to death: and 1ro1n
death to Judgment.
1t is not moral story; it is not a new
story. I have cold it simply as it hap
