Dumas Unfinished PLAYS,

M. Alexandra Dumas has left two
unpublished comedies, LA Route to
Thebes' and LA Troublante." 1t
Is now known, however, that nei-
Their will ever see the light. Strict
injupctions have been laid upon his
executors by M. Dumas to burn all
his unpublished manuscripts. The
decision is regretted by his admir-
ers, as great things e expected of
one at least of these comedies, LA
Troublante," which had been read
to certain intimate friends, accord
ing to whom it was a masterpiece of
wit and satire.
The fact is that as he got old Du-
mas, who was always a laborious
writer, polishing and repolishing his
sentences with infinite care. found
it almost impossible to please him
self. Latterly he had complained to
M. Claretie that he was not we'll
enough to revise the play he had
promised to the Coincide Franchise.
Not long ago, however, he wrote,
"You shall have it before the end of
the year, or I shall be dead" As
was always the case, adds M. Clare
tie, he kept his word. - London

Matthew Arnold In Paris.

During his visit to Paris Matthew
Arnold made the acquaintance Of
several distinguished French men Of
letters, notably ameng these of
Sainte Beuve, les beaux esprits SO
rencontrent, and the French critic
admired the English poet almost as
much as the English poet admired
the French critic. We see what en-
sued in the following passage in a
letter to his dearest mother"
what Sainte- Beuve says of me is
charmingly said. I value his praise
both in itself and because it carries
ones name through the literary Cir
cles of Europe in a way that no Eng
lish praise can carry it," And then
he adds, with perfect truth, Apart
from that to any one but a glutton
of praise the whole value of it lies
in the mode in which it is admins
tered, and this is administered by
the first of living critics and with a
delicacy for which n would look
in vain here. National Review.

Color of Antarctic Birds.

It was remarkable to see how the
plumage of the birds gradually
changed into lighter and lighter col
ors as we drew southwark, altering
with the colors of the surroundings.
Whether the birds, like the polar
hare, also changed their color with
the seasons I had not an opportunity
to notice, but it is clear that within
the antarctic circle also Mother Ma
ture takes care of all her children
and protects the d~efenseless from
the eye of their larger enemies by
giving them an invisible clothing.
It was thus almost impossible to dis
cover the magnificent white petrol
when it was on the dazzling snow.
It was likewise difficult to discover
the white seal when it stretched it.

DR.. Welwitsch, who has recently
explored the country about Cape
Negro in Africa, tells of a curious
plant called the spider tree. It grows
On windy plains, it's stem attaining
a diameter of four feet. although it
does not exceed one foot in height.
1t puts out two leaves six or eight
feet in length, and these are split by
the whiting of the wind into a num-
Der of stiff, narrow ribbons bearing
no little resemblance to the legs of
gigantic spider. This resem blance
becomes startling when a strong
breeze puts the leglike leaves into
rapid motion, and the negroes shiv-
eringly exclaim that the great spi-
der is struggling to get loose.

HIRAM, KING OF TYRE.


The Ph1uicisn Mouarch and His Effort to
Initiate the Deity.
Hiram, the Phpnician monarch.
strove to initiate God by erecting
four mighty pillars, upon which he
caused seven heavens (apartments)
to be built. The first was construct
ed of glass-500 by 500 yards-stor.
ing therein mock images of the sun,
moon and stars. The second COM
partment-of iron, 1000 by 1000
yards-was the receptacle of pre-
cious stones. causing a terrific noise
resembling thunder when they
crashed against each ether and the
easement of the Enclosure. The third
chamber was of lead, 1, 500 by 1, 500
yards. The fourth was of tin, 2, 900
by 1000 yards. The fifth was of
copper. 2, 800 by 2, 500 yards. The
sixth was of silver, 5000 by 3, 1000
yards. The seventh was of gold,
$500 by 8, 500 yards. containing pre-.
oious stones, pearls and a magnih.
cent throne. A channel of water
separated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splen-
dor of the court of King Solomon,
surrounded himself by the grandest
conceivable display of magnificenoe.
In the seventh apartment was sta
toned a golden bed, the of
which were set in pearls without
value in all the world, sparkling
forth beautiful flashes resembling
lightning, which spread wonder and
terror among all his subjects.
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered
to appear before Hiram, who, at a
loss as to how to reach the seven
heavens wherein the monarch pre-
sided, was transported into his cas-
tie by ''the locks of his hair" Upon
perceiving the divine messenger Hi
ran trembled. "Who art thou?"
thundered the indignant harbinger
of future events. why dost thou
boast? Art thou not born of wom-
ans womb"
II am,' replied Hiram, "but I
live forever. Like God dwelling
over waters, dwell I. Like him
reigning over seven heavens, / rule
in seven apartments. AS God is sur
rounded by lightning and thunder,
so am I. God has stars in heaven,
SO have I. Many ~sovereigns have
succumbed to mortality, and l still
exist. Twenty-one kings of the
house of Israel and David, 20 proph-
cts and ten high priests have depart
ed this earth, but I outlive them ALL"
why dost thou boast?" again de-
manded Ezekiel.
Because thou didst supply the
cedars for Solomon's temple? This
puts me in mind of a subject who
prepared a splendid garment for his
sovereign, and as often as the serv-
ant gazed at the glorious piece OF
work he boastingly asserted, This
is my manufacture, until the king,
observing hls~vanity, tore it off in
disgust. Such will be thy lot. The
temple which thou helpest to build
will be destroyed. What will then
become of thy pride?"-Dr. Alexan-
der Kohut in independent.

ing of men. One of the keepers,
with his light, was singing softly
some ancient minor strain as he
searched the tiers. That would be
all, and presently even that would
cease.
One thinks of such things natural
ly enough, and then the dream runs
backward against the sun, as dreams
will, and the moon rays weave a vi

last high rank beneath the awnings

canopy, sits the emperor of the

sword and trident, and hands that
twitch and clutch each other as a
mans foot slips in a pool of blood,
and the heavy harness clashes in the
red, wet sand. Then gray haired
senators; then curled and perfumed
knights of Rome, and then the peo-
pie, countless, vast, frenzied, blood
thirsty, stretching out 100, 900 hands
with thumbs reversed, commanding
death to the fallen-full 80, 900
threats of men and women roaring,
yelling, shrieking over each ended
life. A theater indeed, a stage in
deed, a play wherein every scene of
every act ends in a sudden death.
And then the widest, deadliest
howl of all on that day; a handful
OF men and women in white and one
girl in the midst of them; the clang
of an iron gate thrown suddenly
open; a rushing and leaping of great

huge cats worrying little white
mice; three sharp cries, then blood,
then silence, then a great laughter,
and the sodden face of mankind's
drunken master grows almost hu-

smile. The wild beasts are driven
out with brands step by step, drag
ging backward nameless mangled
rags of humanity in their dripping
jaws, and the bull nosed dwarf offers
the emperor a cup Of rare red wine.

drinks, as the blood from the tigers

A Gamblers Lucky Button.

There was a noted gambler in ST.
Louis who had been playing in hard
luck for a long time. He made up
his mind never to gamble again, but
one evening the old habit proved SO
overpowering that he walked me-
chanically into a we'll known resort
where he had often wooed the tickle
goddess over the faro table. A
game was in progress. He put a dol
lar on the queen and lost. Dollar
after dollar went the same way, and
once nor misery and privation
stared him in the face. He put ON
his last dollar and that went too.
Absolute dependency seized him
and his frame shook with a par
oxysm of remorse. While so shaking
a red button or his coat flew off and
fell on the faro table, covering the
jack. The dealer thought he had
deposited a red chip and dealt the
cards. The jack won. All night he
kept the button in play and it won
every time. until the dealer an
nounced that the bank was Dust

Surrounding Dangers.
Some OF those evenings i'll the jun
gle are among my p%leasantest recol-
lections. What greater pleasure than
coming in from a successful hunt to
find ones companion has had his
share of sport and over the post
prandial coffee to mutually recite
ones experiences of the day? The
darkness succeeding the fall of day
is just giving way to the bright
light OF the rising moon, whose rap
idly widening silver edge we see
through the tops of the mimosa jun
gle. The circle of fire in the zareba
throws a ruddy glow on the pictur-
esque figures of the men grouped
about them at their meal or prepar-
ing for rest. In the far distance we
hear the howl of the hyena or the
sruff bark of the questing lion. His
majesty may perhaps be inclined to
visit us later in the evening. Very
we'll, we will give him a royal recep-
ton. 'Achmed, tell Alden to put

Might And we are soon asleep
to a brief lullaby from the sentry,
who never ceases singing through
out his watch; asleep. but not a
heavy slumber; any unusual noise,
and we shall both be wide awake,
having wakened up suddenly with
out a movement unless it be that of
a hand to a weapon; wide awake, to
drop off again the moment we are
satisfied that all is we'll.
1t is a wonderful faculty of the
human mind which enables it to
adapt its sleep to circumstances. At
home we lay our heads down and
sleep till shouted at by a servant,
who has banged about the room for
ten minutes previously. Go to the
jungle or the prairie, and our sleep
is set on a hair trigger. We wake
ten times in the night, and ten times
we are asleep again within half a
minute, having made sure all is
right. AS the night advances we
are glad to pull the waterproof sheets
over us, sometimes right over our
heads, to keep off the heavy dew,
which otherwise would soak us to
the skin. Long before daylight jana
would be called by the sentry, whose
clock was a star, and in his turn go
