For the backgrounds of his stories
Dumas went naturally to the epoch of
intrigue, his mots de la fin would not
easily have come from the oars of a
helmet in the rougher older days; it is
the thrust of the rnpier he loves rather
than the downright blow of the heavy
sword, tho coup d'estoc rather than the
coup de taille. His is the true drama
de cape ct d'epee, as the French have
always called it, and his dialogue is its
eEponent-the cloak to dissimulate, the
sword to attack and defend. The
whole epoch of Louis XIII and of
Mazarin was mask and dagger, con
spiracy and duel. Dumas leads us
among a gilded dramatis persona; he
loves n noble, and though he distrusted
princes the royal blood was never quite
a common ichor to him. His artist
side responded eagerly to the pictur,
sequences of the court.-E. II. and f.
W. Blashdeld in Scribner's.

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible. and
whoa they eat it they do 50 under pro-
test and with approximations of POSSIBLY
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, I'M.
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible ia
bic friends. It is not the cucumber.
however. but the salmon that sits so
heavy upon our stomaCh's throne. Gu
cumbcr, in fact. is very digestible when
eaten properly. II cannot. indeed, be
otherwise when It is remembered that it
consists mainly Of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almoat OK
clusiyely cells Of "a very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is well to cut it
into thin slices and to masticate them
thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the
pepper that nre so often nlded to it are
Of service to digestion if not taken in ex-
cess. The cucumber. as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe; but
in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size. and
therefore it is frmer and looks less di-
gestble than its congenor. tho melon

The cry which comes up from the
watering places Is as regularly ASSOCIATE
ed with this season in the public mind
as ~cucumbers. ice cream and russell
leather shoes. II il worth noting, how
ever, that the wall this year is mope deep
and heartfelt than it has been for many
seasons past. If things go on at the
present rate before long the government
will be importuned 70 take n hand in
supplying the summer resorts with
young men. Their scarcity bids fair to
rank as n public grievance. Some Of the
published lists of the entertainments
given at the watering places are curious
" suggestive.
In one dispatch from Narragansett,
for instance, on Sunday the details of a
delightful impromptu picnic" were
given. \ list Of the guests was append
ed. There were four young men and
twenty-seyen young women. At an in
formal" dance in Newport on the same
day it was said that for the first time in
the history of that famous watering
place girls danced with one another since
there were not enough men to go around.
Such a condition Of things as this at
Newport is absolutely Unprecedented. It
il not difficult to find out where the
Young men are by the way. They are
grinding away in New York, and n can
did and unprejudiced survey OF the field
gives the impression that in view Of all
the circumstances they arc doing pretty
well.-Ncwport Letter.

Mr.. A. w. uabarsham found on Ex-

long that has back Of his eyes two spots
that give out n dazzling phosphorescent
green light sufficient to illuminate his
surroundings for a distance of several
inches. When placed on his back he
rights himself with a spring and a snap

belongs to tho family "Elater." As
such n beetle with lantern is not known
to be n resident of this country it is sup
posed that Mr.. Understands find is an

safety from a Pe.tIIentruI scourEe.

Protection from the disease, not a
medicinal agent which merely checks the
paroxysms, is the grand desideratum
wherever the endemic scourge of malaria
prevails, Quinine does not afford this
protection, The chief reason why
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has won such
immense popularity is, that it prepares
the system to resist the malarial pest.
This 1t does by bracing and touing the
physical organism; regulating and pro
noting an equul flow aud distribution of
the animal fluids, aud establishing diges-
tion on a sound basis. Not only is fever
and ague prevented. but the worst types
Of the disease are conquered by it. Such
is the only conclusion to be drawn from
overwhelming evidence in its favor. 1t
Is equally efhcacious in dyspepsia, con.
stIpation, liver complaint, general debility
and rheumatic complaint, and Is a reliable
diuretie and n%ervine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. -. - The

Pendleton.
Cooper, Of Ohio, followed. y vote
was then taken on the minority
resolution, declaring Pendleton
entitled to his seat, and it was de-
feated, li2 to l59-strict party vote.
The vote required on the majority
resolution, seating Atkinson. The
democrats refrained from voting, the
object being TO have the contestant
seated by less than 4 quorum, 50
that the question Of the right Of the
Speaker to count quorum may he
taken before the courts. The vote
resulted: Yeas, l62; nays, 0, the
Speaker counting n quorum.
O'Ferral, Of Virginia, raised the
point Of no quorum, but the Speaker
ignored him. The newly elected
member appeared at the bar Of the
House and took the oath of Office.
Mckinley, from the committee on
rules, reported a resolution making
n special order for March ith and

A PEDLER KICKER.
DESCRIBING HOW HOUsEHoLDERs
HAVE FOUND A GOOD
PROTECTOR.

The HOUSEHOLDER Mutual Protec-
tive and Beneficial Association has
mapped out n vigorous policy for
the new year, says the Philadelphia
Record, and expects soon to inau-
gurate several important reforms in
domestic economy. The last meet
lug Of the association was held en-
Saturday evening, January 4th, and
at that time an important report
was received from the committee
on front door and back alley NUS
ances.
For six months the committee had
been considering measures for the
relief of tormented hOusekeepers
from the fiends who pull at the door
hell or bang ut the back gate, and
the remedy that has been devised l.
calculated to strike terror to the
hearts OF those against whom the
movement is directed.
The report Of the committee on
front door and back alley nuisances
contained two separate recommen-
datlons, accompanied by plans and
Specifications. The first suggestion
dealt with the front door and its
abuses. After enumerating the
various classes Of book agents, ped
lers, sewing-maehine statesmen and
vendors of matches ami feather
busters, the report advised the adop-
ton Of an automatic catapult FOR the
abatement Of the nuisance.
The device consists Of 4 powerful
spring concealed beneath the mat
upon the front step. The suave
canvasser innocently steps upon the
mat and pulls the bell. When the
maid opens the door he sweetly
asks: us the lady Of the house
in?- and the maid as sweetly TO
plies: "Yes, she is in," 1T the
same time touching an electric but
ton on the d0or-pOSt, which releases
the powerful spring and away sails

The committee reported that a de-
vice Of this character could he put
in place for SIS. The principal de-
feet in the apparatus Is the necessity
for calling the hired mar 10 set the
trap again after il has fired Off
pedleF, but the associations engi-
neer hopes to remedy this.
The second part Of the commit.
tees report deals with the back-gate
problem. and suggests the use Of a
powerful spring on the aliey-gate
that can be released ut will by n
person standing at the house door.
When the whistling and humping
butchers boy hacks up against the
gate and begins TO initiate stage
thunder with his heels and the gate,
