"FAKES' IN FICTION.

Spurious Dumas SeQuels-Names of
Writers Used as Tradema rks.
"The present vogue of the romantic
novel has given a quiet boom to good
old Father Dumas" remarked a book
lsh man yesterday, 'but in looking
over the shelves of a news stand up
the street was amazed at the number
of cheap and clumsy fakes sailing I'M
der the great Frenchmans colors. Of
course, everybody knows that the elder
Dumas ran sort of literary foundry
in which custom-made romance was
ground out by the front foot, but the
the product of that establishment is
familiar to all students, and includes
none of the stuff that attracted my at
tention. The fakes were all in the
nature of sequels, and bore such titles
as 'Porthos' Son. The Bride of Monte
Cristo,' and The Son of Edmond Dan
tes.' AS to the authorship, timeworn
but tolerably ingeniuos dodge was en-
ployed. For example, The Bride of
Monte Cristo,' was published as "a
sequel to "The Count of Monte Cristo,"
by Alexander Dumas, PEREZ leaving the
gentle reader to infer that they were
both from the same illustrious pen, but
avoided saying so pointblank. The
stories themselves are marvels of STU
pidity, but they have plenty of blud-
den-thunder in them, and the news
dealer told me that they sold better
than the immortal originals. He said
that it was a great pity Dumas didn't
stop when he wrote the sequel 10
Monte Cristo'' without damaging his
reputation by the first part. You see,
there's no accounting for tastes.
If some we'll posted person were to
write a history of publishing fakes"
continued the bookish man, "the VOL
ume would be curiously interesting. In
addition to the spurious sequels of the
Dumas brand there are dozens of other
lodges that are equally fragrant and
even more common. It is a Well-knOWn
fact in the craft that certain names
under which much yellow fiction has
| been printed are really nothing more
than trademarks, and when the first
| scrlbbler writes himself or herself out
another one takes the job of grinding
out another one takes the job and title.
| A lady who made fortune grinding
of rubbish for family story papers as
sured me on one occasion that it was
expressly stipulated in many of the
contracts made by her publisher that
the authors name was to be the pro-
perty of the house. This practice re-
suited in an amusing wrangle in one
establishment some years ago. A
young woman who had acquired fame
as the authoress of several sloppy ro-
mances transferred her allegiance to
another sheet, and when her old pub
Usher continued to advertise her as an
attraction she threatened an injunc-
ton. The result was compromise, in

Many of Them brought to School by
Monkey Trick.
Monkeys are very amusing creatures,
but one hardly thinks of them as USE
full in educational work. However, their
aid has lately been sought by the Lon
don school officers, with admirable re-
suits. 1t seems that in one of the school
districts there were not as many child
rem reported by the parents as being
of school age as the officers knew there
ought to be-sO, to ascertain the real
number they called in the monkeys to
help them, in this way:
Two monkeys were gaily dressed, put
in a wagon, and, accompanied by a
brass band, were carrisd through the
streets of the district. At once crowds
of children made their appearance. The
procession was stopped in park and
the school OFFICERS began their work
of distributing sweets to youngsters,
they took their names and addresses.
They found out that sixty parents kept
their children from school. This ingen-
ious method brought to school about
200 boys and girls.-Indian Witness.

No Great Virtue in Soil Selection.
Never Water Spnringly.
do not believe there is any great vir-
tue in soil selection for the culture of
plants in pots. We get much minute
advice on that line, and from it the
Inference would be that every plant, to
grow in a pot, must be provided with
very exact vaciety Of soil, :or it, will
not do well. This is true in minor
way. We all know that certain plants,
with the ferns leading, prefer light,
peaty soil, and that others like some
thing more sandy. But this is all by
the way. What plants all demand is
rich soil with some sort Of texture, so
that it will not become muddy when it
is Watered. If it has nothing of this
sort, it will have the tendency to
smother the roots of the plant by the
seclusion of air.
AS rule, few plants are watered to
death in soil that has no tendency to
become muddy. The old cautions
against overwhelming have driven us
to the opposite extreme, and we water
with dash that vets the surface of

to become solid, and the plant slowly
starves to death, often so slowly that
we do not suspect what is the matter.
Never water sparingly, either outdoors
or in. A watering that goes to the bot
tom of the roots will keep them growing
as they should; scanty watering sets
them to reaching toward the surface
for moisture, and they are soon in
capable of maintaining vigorous
growth.
Pot soil is very subject to acid con-
ditions. In some cases a bit of lime or
charcoal will correct that, but many
plants do not like lime in quality, and
| neither treatment is sure safeguard
Better let the root do it's own work of
sweetening the soil by making sure that
| there is never much more soil in a pot
than is needed. Where the soil is found
to be wrong in some particular and the
plant is suffering, wash all of it from
| the pots and repot, using rather scant
| supply. Often the plant will thrive
| again at once. Some plants will dc

Where the ambulance or Red Cross

The wounded man, but for timely help,

The dog is so splendidly trained that,

Herr J. Bungartz, to whom I am in

OF the society of Red Cross dogs, which
ne himself founded in 1893, under the
distinguished patronage of the Duke of

undertakes the breeding of these dogs
and training them free for the
