Cheap Toothbrushes.

"These are 90 cents and rs good as any
l have, said the druggist, handing OFT
half a dozen toothbrushes that looked like
all the other toothbrushes in the showcase
save for some small Japanese characters
on the handles.
''Yes, said the druggist, ''they are
made in Japan, and they compete success

plenty of the latter if you like them bet
ter.
Twenty cents, as matter of fact, is NO
longer a low price for toothbrush, save
perhaps at Il drug store. Knowing folk,
especially women, buy such articles at the
large department stores or at special shops,
but never at drug stores. 1t used to be
that careful persons thought So cents rather
a dangerously low price for toothbrush,
and many persons habitually paid 80 cents.
Good looking toothbrushes are now sold
at 10 cents, and some that persons accus
toned to use good articles do not hesitate
to buy arc sold by the half dozen as low
as cents each. You may buy French
toothbrushes at seemingly very low rates,
and prices of all kinds seem to have fallen,
perhaps through Japanese competition,
perhaps from other reasons. The Japanese
have closely initiated the French tooth
brushes and are sending great quantities
OF the article to this country.-New York

Closing Scenes Of Dumas, Life.

The particulars OF the manner in which
NJ. AleXandre Dumas spent his last day
given by those who wore present Mt Villa
Chanpllour, AT Marly, are interesting.
The improvement which had been noted il,
the morning continued the whole day. $,
that the members Of the family felt thei.
hopes revive. The doctors seem to have
been rather skeptical, but Nine Dumas
and tho daughters of the celebrated writer
were overioyed.
Tho patient was cheerful and smiling.
He even joked and had, in the morning.
turned everybody out of tho room by an
atfoctionate rebuke He said: This is
really too much. What are you all doing
sitting about in my room? 1t is really ex
traordinary. Cannot be left alone in my
own apartment? My children, you really
take advantage of my good nature
They We're all going out, but he called
them back again, smiling, and everybody
laughed with him. AT noon, however he
sent them to the dining room for break
fast and asked for cup of tea for him
self. As he had done in tho carly morning,
he took the cup in both hands and drank
the tea without any difficulty Mime. Du-
mas tremblod with mingled joy and fear;
she dared not believe in what seemed so

SPAIN AND HOLLAND
Must Open Their Royal Archives 10 the Ven
ezueIan Commission.

Washington, March l3.--The Venezue
len commission at the regular meeting,
today, with all the members present, vir-
tually reached the conclusion that the
main points at issue in the dispute hinged
on documents lying In the royal archives
Of Spain and Holland, and perhaps some
other countries, and while such documents
would probably he quoted by each Of the
| dispntants In support Of contradictory
claims presented, the duty would dcvolye
ON the commission not Gully to verify
by actual examination all such citations
but II practicable 10 develop contempor-
airy documents which might throw strong
| side lights upon evidence submitted.
Definite action was postponed until the
full British and Venezuelan cases shall
be formally brought under consideration.
but there remains no doubt that some OF
| the commissioners, or at all events tic
secretary Of the commission Mr. Malet
Provost, and agents under hi: direction
VIII soon DO sent to Madrid and the
Hague
IL is explained that this determination s
not due to tine alleged discovery Of mis-
quotations in the DEGREES and treaties al
ready In the commission s possession, bnt
TO the conviction that the final decision Of
the commission ought not to be open to
any attack as to the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
pivotal evidence upon which the decision
will in all probability be found to depend.
In the preliminary Investigations the
commission has been confronted with
numerous dramatically conflicting maps
and translati0ns While geographical
discrepancies are within the power OF the
commission To harmonic through the
enormous mass OF cOrroborative charts
that it commands, the comparative in dc
cipherability and partial Eligibility Of
the royal DEGREES are thought TO be mat
ters which neccssitate personal and expert
examination.
1T appears from the Venezuelan official
report on the Guina boundary dispute
that the expedition was sent ont because
Venezuela became alarmcd lest the British
should attempt to seize the entire Orinoco
river and prevent the republic from using
the stream in any way.
The British colonial governor, Viscount
Gormanston, pushed his personal explora-
tons incognitio as far as TIE venezuelan |
city OF Angostura or Ciudad Bolivar. ESQ
miles up the Orinccn. and was most cner- |
Qetic in establishing military outposts |
through the interior
The chief OF the commission, r. F. |
SeiJas. formerly Venezuelan minister to
England. found everything to confirm the |
most serious fears OF his government, and |
only through his energetic protests to the
colonial governor and the activity Of the
Venezuelan minister abroad was the
policy Of the boundary extension tenn
porarily allowed to rest by Lord Salisbury.

In the course of the discussion of the
army estimates, Mr.. Labouchere, Radical
member for Northampton, offered mo-
tion demanding the immediate evacuation
of Egypt by Great Britain. Dir. Labou-
chere criticized the policy of the ocoupa-
tlon OF Egypt, but the Speaker stopped
him, saying that the Chair would only
permit the discussion Of matters immedi-
ately relating to the army MIR. Lahou-
chsre replied that it would be impossible
tn discuss the question upon that basis,
and mere, therefore, would not move the
resolution.
Sir William Harcourt contended that
this mere accidenJ Of forms of the House
ought not to prevent the discussion of the
situation in Egypt. He suggested that
the debate on the Egyptian situation
should take place upon the coming up of
the vote for men, which, he thought. the
government should allow to lie considered
at the earliest possible time.
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
agreed that the vote for men should be
taken. Monday, when Mr.. I.abouchere
could open the debate.
