When Dumas was editing his journal,
The MousQuetaire, and M. Urban FACES
was one of his assistants, FACES, who was
fine Greek scholar, enthusiastically de-
scribed to him the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Dumas opened his eyes very wide.
IF only you could read them In the
Greek text said FACES.
"Why notro said Dumas.
"Why dear masterp Because you do
not know alpha from omega"
"Will you translate it to mea" asked
Dumas, and FACES accordingly set to work
on the first book of the Iliad, reading a
line of the Greek and then giving literal
translation. Dumas entered into the spirit
Of it. Quick to grasp grand and beautiful
ton and signed it,
"Whatl M. Dumasl'' cried FACES, "are
you signing your name to the Iliad"
Certainly, to my version Of It, 1t will
appear as feuilleton in The Mousque-
taire."
II was filed with dismay," said M.
FACES afterward, "but before such ad-
dacity and naivete what could one sayf
How convince writer used to every tri-
umph that he was too boldr'
The next day an installment of the Iliad,
as rendered in half an hour or so by a man
who could not read the Greek alphabet,
appeared at the bottom OF the page OF The
Mousquetaire with the note, Continued
in our next" 1t raised such a storm OF
criticism that Dumas was persuaded to
discontinue 1t after the third installment,
though it may be doubted If he ever under
stood what was the trouble. Youths Com

The Areetation of Childhood.

Girls have their ideals; thus much we
know, but the range of those ayowed of
them is narrow indeed. While the little
brother dreams of fire and pillage the lit
tie sister shall fancy herself St. Eliza
beth, or Mrs. Fry, or it may be a heroine
of Miss Yonge. Such mild and decorous
visions are regarded as characteristic of
the sex. But it is pretty certain that i.ieals
less exalted are now and then not char
itably received alone, but excellently en-
tertained.
All these are Alterations, but every one
admits them to be natural. Youth has
its privilege. The Pirate Chief may annoy
you with his racket, the Virgin Martyr
with her purple prayer book. But you
take them as family incidents. Thea
come other Alterations, and these are not
accounted natural. But they are gener-
ated by the same impulse. AS the boy
grows older he puts by the pistol and the
strap.
He ceases to be governed by the instincts
of Primeval Man, or at least by this par
ticular set of them, and if he be an artist
he keeps them still young and-writes you
his Treasure Islands and his Crusoes.
The Young Person forgets Mrs Fry. I'm
consciously she learns to perceive that
sisters of charity are out of date. She be-
comes Rossettifled, she Girtoniseth; she
may even pine with the poor little maid
servant) to run away and be hactress."

A succession for Darn,nc,

1t is said that the great difficulty In
mending lies in darning edges together In
good shape, and good plan is to buy some
net lace such as is used for canopies or
draperies or for darning in patterns. II
when the knees of children's garments
wear thin, bit of this lace is basted on
the under side and carefully darned down
on the outside with fine thread or yarn the
color of the fabric, the garment will wear
almost as long again. A piece of fine net
darned down on the wrong sideof table
cloth will save a large rent and will scarce
ly show. A careful housekeeper who be-
lieves that waste of anything Is almost a
crime uses coarse net for darning thin
places in towels. 1t is surprising how
much longer they will wear and how easy
the work Is.
Cut the lace In square, II possible TO
use 1t that way, lay 1t smoothly on the
goods, and with long needle and very soft
thread follow the meshes of the lace in and
out, each mesh alternating until the edges
are.sewed fast. Be careful not to take the
stitches to the right side, at least IL It is
desirable not to have the patch show
through. then few judiciously distrib-
uted trimmings down on the right side
Of the goods, being very careful to follow
the grain OF the fabric, and make short
stitch on the right with long stitch on
the wrong side.--Exchange.

r-a Lacks Foresight.

West One Hundred and Thirty fifth
street, in the apartment which he occu-
pies on the first floor, among antique tap
estry, arms and armor, carpets of the
orient, silver and goldplate and scarce
stuffs, the colors of which are admirably
effaced, the old janitor, after breakfast
worthy of bishop, drank Mocha with his
son, and smoked pretty, blond colored
cigar. The father had the grand air Of a
Roman senator; the son. calm and dressed
in the latest fashion, might have posed for
the hero Of q romance.
II was not at all surprised by your de-
cision to become dramatist," said the old
man, "for you are chip of the old block;
you could draw greenbacks out Of bare
rock. But let us talk of your brother,
about the welfare of whom I am gravely
distressed"
what scrape has he put himself into
nowf"
Unto all possible scrapes. You know
that obtained for him the new building
ON the avenue. A new building to care
full janitor is more valuable than ell the
mines of Bengal and Ophir. Well, he has
made no arrangements with the carpen-
ters or plumbers; he has no understand
ing with the milkmen; grocers and butch
ers are not better acquainted with him
than the queen of Hawaii. and he actually
buys the coal that he uses"
"Father, you cannot prevent idiots from
doing idiotic things" said the young man.
