Mrs. Emily Crawford, the we'll known
Paris correspondent, contributes to the
March Century a biographical sketch
of Alexandra Dumas the elder. The
article is a succession of anecdotes of
the old novelist, and presents him in
a very picturesque light. Mrs. Craw-
ford has an account of the Bohemians
and "sponges" who took advantage of
Dumas prodigality, and of his archi-
tectural folly, the Chateau Monte
Cristo, with it's strange menagerie.

A Resting Spot,

Make the porch or plaza q real rest
ing spot to be enjoyed after the work
Is done. In the afternoon take your
sewing out there; you will get a better
supply of oxygen than Is found In the
sitting-room; have q good inviting
chair for John to "drop in" as he
comes up from the hay field for drink
of fresh water.
Don't forget to have q hammock and
have 1t provided with one or two pil
lows; not fancy affairs, but those made
with adjustable covers that can be
washed as often as they are solled.
Denim, brown linen or huck-a back
are serVicesble materials. Outline q
large, open scroll design upon the front
with coarse wash silk; It will give 1t an
ornamental touch with but little work,
and still not be "too nice to uss." Use
buttons and buttonholes upon one end.
One of the prettiest pillows have
ever seen was made from common blue
denim, outlined with cardinal silk; it
really was strong and serVicesble.
Hammoeks should be washed once
during the summer; they are very de-
ceiving, often looking clean when they
are not, as those wearing light dresses
can testify. Wash In warm suds, rinse
and hang on the hooks I'm usual posi-

Little Farms In Japan.

Japan, and not France or Belgium,
would appear to be the land Of petite
culture. According to recent American
bulletin couple Of acres is considered
a large tract for farming purposes. Most
Of the farms are smaller, and on a little
plot surprising variety of crops is
cultivated-s few square feet OF wheat,
barley, maize, and millet; plot OF beans
perhaps 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, q
similar area of potatoes and peas, and q
patch of onions "about as big as q gravs;"
beetroot, lettuce, turnips, sweet potatoes,
and other crops occupy the rest Of the
area. The farmer examines his growing
crops every morning, just as an engineer
inspects his machinery, and IL anything
is wrong he puts it right. If weed
appears in the bean patch he pulls it up;
il hill Of potatoes or anything else fails
it is at once replanted. When he cuts
down tree he always plants another.
AS soon as one crop is harvested the
soil is worked over, msnursd, and forth
with resown to another crop. 1t is
estimated that nlne-tenths Of the
agricultural land Of Japan is devoted to
rice, and as this is a crop requiring much
water tFe paddy-6elds are banked up
into terraces, one above the other and
divided off into small plots 25 or 80 feet.
square, with ridges of earth between
them to prevent the water from flowing
away when they are flooded. All farming
lands are irrigated by system that is q
thousand years old. Some Of the bitches
are walled up with bamboo wicker
work and some with tiles and stone.
Nearly half the total population Of
Japan is engaged in agriculture. Silk
and tea, the two chief exports
Of the country, are raised almost by the
work Of women. London Times.

Dressing q Fish.

The quickest and best method Tor
dressing all small fish like perch, bass
and croppies, says correspondent of
Good Housekeeping, is as follows: Put
the fish In large pan and pour over
them scalding hot water. Shake them
about In this for q moment, then pour
1t off and rinse the fish in cold water.
Now with an old pair of scissors cut
off the fms and tails. With q sharp
knife cut off the head and cut through
the skin of each fish In a straight line
down the back. Beginning on each
side of this incision, easily and quickly
pull off the skins. Some epicures pre-
fer the skins left on, but If they had
the scales to scrspe off, they would
perhaps change their opinion. 1t
really makes very little, If any, differ
ence 10 the flavor.
The fish are now ready to be opened
and cleaned 40 usual. Each one should
then be wished thoroughly, inside and
out, in cold water; wiped dry; rolled Ia
corn meal or -four; seasoned well with
salt and pepper, and laid on q clean
platter. They may be set aside in q
cool place or fried at once. When

distrust and doubt, and, however clever

ivory soap. On account of the Vege.
table matter they considered it the

plentifully. They said the body is not
so clean for sCrubblng In cold water
with brush, unless soap Is used. For
actual cleansing warm water Is neces.

be used as q tonic. A Turkish towel
is the best to use, 1t sbsorbs the water
more quickly, and is therefore more
pleasant. In the morning the young
girls used cold water, wlping the skin

One Of the most necessary acquire

quiFement' because 1t Is generally
such. Most voices are loud naturally,
and the days Of childhood do not, as q
rule, have a tendency to lower their
key OF reduce the volume of sound. In
the early womanhoOd, then, must come
the time of toning down and training
the voice to a proper conversation
pitch, and the wise mother will make
Q mental note of this. As each year is
added, greater effort will be required to
change the habit Of talking In q loud
key. To the well-bred, loud voice
often seems the sign Of ignorance,
which is true In many cases. The ig
norsnt and uneducated usually make
themselves literally heard. There are,
however, many refined people whose
voices are naturally loud, and who ere

Chicago. July 3.-The executive COM
mittee of the national Democratic COM

temporary chairman OF the national

1t is not yet determined whether the
executive committee will assume the re-
sponsibility OF naming the man for this
place. and that matter is still under con-
sideration. The decision TO recommend
this course has been arrived at, not In
defiance of the request OF the silver men,
but II is claimed because IL is In accor-
dance with the precedents in the party.
Still there are evidences that the men,
bers of the committee resent the demand
OF the slverites as without warrant, and
II is believed that they have reached the
point where they prefer TO take the
chances OF an open fight in the conven-
ton to submitting tamely TO what they
look upon as an unjustified effort at

SUCCESSFULLY PRODUCED.
Coed Presentation OF New Comedy by
Glob: Stock Company.

At Colonial Hall last evening was pro-
duced by the Globe Stock Company a
new and sparkling comedy entitled
"Wits" by Howard L. Kranz. The lat
ter has good reason to feel satisfied with
his work for he has shown much good
judgment IN his selection from the prize
story OF Mollie Elliot Seawell. The In
cidents in the life OF two really bright
thought of one OF them. are enabled to
fioat smoothly on the sea OF society, are
well portrayed in the comedy and were
brought out In n careful way by the men,
bers OF the cast. The comedy runs very
pleasantly and the actions OF the young
men, Marsac and Fontaine continue to
interest all from the beginning to the
end OF the piece and OF course, as is per-
fectly appropriate in picture OF human
iiio, all ends happily for tbs young men.
The author OF the comedy, Mr.. kranz,
gave an interesting personation OF Mar
sac, the fortunate young man, the al
legged death of whose uncle brings him
into prom inence and as the thinker of
the partnership, Auguste Fontaine, Mr..
j. William Goulding, was very accep-
table. Miss Matte 8. Oldfried, as Mad
anne furry made an excellent landlady,
and the efforts Of that lady to secure
either n husband or her rent were well
portrayed. The other characters were all
well taken and the evening was most
agreeably passed by the large mum ber of
persons who generously received the
new aspirant for public favor
The other parts in the comedy were
played by Arthur r. Potter, J. @. Davis,
Duncan Campbell, Myron Slocum, Mr..

Mary A. Lawson, Miss Florence Ha-
