THE YOUNGER DUMAS.
Habits of the Most Popular Living Drama
fist of France.

Habits of the Most Popular Living Drama.
fist of France.
M. Dumas is to-day hale, vigorous
man OF some sixty-six years, broad
shouldered and strongly built with gray
hair, the ample forehead of thinker
and observer, and with shrewd, satir-
ical expression about his mouth. He is
very rich, for his plays are performed
more often than those of any other
French dramatist. Victorien Sardou is
the only contemporary playwright who
comes within distance of Dumas; but
Dumas is thinker and a brilliant
stylist, whereas Sardou is little other
than an extremely clever inventor of
plots and ''situations," with knack of
paSsable dialogue.
Dumas lives in the Avenue de Will
iers, comfortably and unostentatiously.
occupied with his books and plays, and
his grandchildren. 1t may be interest
ing to budding dramatists to sketch the
playwright's method of work. He
determines upon the plot of a
play, the characters, the number of acts,
etc., beforehand, and when all is
ship-shape, he sits down to write. To
each act he gives exactly twenty sheets
OF paper, for he believes that brevitv,
conjoiDed with good writing, and a
smart plot, is the soul of the play.
Each separate act must be compressed
within the limits of those twenty sheets
OF paper. Dumas writes his dialogue
ut headlong speed, but afterward comes
the labor of severe criticism. When
the play leaves his hands it is a MASTER
piece of construction and dialogue,
M. Dumas is passionless, reserved
man, with that cold scrutinizing.
questioning vein which marks your
scientists. He look upon play-writing
ss science which only a Psychologist
and a ''moral pathologist" can pursue
1t is also an art, but the art lies in the
construction; the science rendered in
the analysis of motive and the portray /
ef character which must be based upon
long observation and close study. A
singular trait of the great dramatist is
his passion for order.-Galignani's Mes.

What to Do with the Arm.

The arms of the woman who Is not

harsh as they lie in her lap motionless.

Ing OF classical collections she extends
them, or lets them hang down at full
length unflexed in hard, straight lines.
The first piece of advice which a well
wlsher would give such woman, would
be that she allow both arms to fall in
nee, easy positions, slightly relaxed at
sne elbows or with the hand dropping a
little at the wrist, but that she should
not allow her left arm to know what her
right arm is doing. One ought usually

A Fair Trial

OF Hoods Sarsaparilla for scrofula, salt rheum,
any affection caused by impure blood, is suffi-
cient to convince any one of the superior and
peculiar curative powers of this medicine The
following statement is right to the point:
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrOfu-
lous sore neck from the time she was % months
old till she became years of age. Jumps formed
in her neck, causing great annoyance, and two of
them, after growing to the size of pigeons egg,
broke and discharged One became running
sore for more than three years. We thought we
would give Hoods Sarsaparilla a thorough trial.
We began with it in January and in few months,
after she had taken five bottles, all suppuratiOn
had ceased. We then waited three months, when,
a new lump was beginning to form, we again
gave her Hoods Sarsaparila. After she ha
taken less than two bottles the lump and all in
dications of scrofula had entirely disappeared,
and now she seems to be a healthy child. S.

THE PHARMACISTS.
Many Have Been Examined But a
Few Are Sinking

In compliance with the recent law
passed by the state 10 regulate the pro-
feSSiOn of the pharmacists one board OF
officers was appointed in each judicial
district. As this city is divided into TWO
such districts the 9th and 18th, we have
two boards and two registrars.
Mr.. kalteyer, who is a member of the
45th district. and Mr.. II. Schuchard. who
is registrar for the same, We're seen by Il
reporter Of the LIGHT upon this matter.
NO, there are still some druggists in
this district said Mr.. kalteycr.
who are not exempted from examination
by law and who have failed TO take an
examination. The board has notified one
druggist that he must appear for regis
tratiOn."
What are you going to do if the drug
giStS refuse TO take the examination"
They will be raked over the Goals.
The board will bring them before the
grand jury and compel them TO show good
cause tor refusing TO take an examination
or take the consequences.
Registrar Schuchard told the reporter
that nearly everyone except Mexican
druggist beyond the San Pedro had either
registered by graduation. examination or
on the ground of having been a druggist
for three years previous to the enactment
of the law. This man had been notified
that he must appear before the board for
registration.
Mr.. H. A. Blair. registrar of the Thirty
seventh District, says that all the drug
giStS in his district except two have regis
tered and he expects these TO take their
examination in short time.
Our board met yesterday and MeSSrS.
II. V. Schintz, of Tips IL Silverthorn'S,
and John Sherman, of DRESS. Thompson
Il Co.. made successful examinations. :"
All of the druggists are not compelled an
examination, those being exempted who
were druggists three years previous to
the enactment of the statute. or who hold
diplomas from proper medical colleges
But this law does not reach quite far
enough. a doctor can put up his own
prescriptions, or he can even hire an
assistant to do so, and no matter how
brainleSS or laundering his assistant might
be, he does not have to take an eXamina-
ton because this statute does not cover
his case. and consequently the law can
not reach him.

Davis to a discussion at that picnic
