Dumas Wealth and Poverty.

Alexandra Dumas rise to wealth
and luxury was almost as marvellous
as that of his most celebrated hero.
He built magnificent chateau, which
he named Monte Christie. There he EN-
tertained all Corners, friend and Stran-
ger alike, with more than oriental
magnificence and sometimes with orr
entail mystery. His purse was open to
all who sought it, and the day came
when he experienced Timon'S fate
without acquiring Timon's disposition.
He could not become miSanthrope,
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as 1t came, and then he
learned the ingratitude OF men. His
last days were passed not In poverty,
but In narrow circumstances. He left
Paris in the fall of 1870 just as the
German army was closing i'll to be
siege it and when France was feeling
its deepest woe. To the last he pre-
served his gayety and youthful spirit

Illustrated by this fashion note" from
newspaper:
For some time the officials OF the
German colony I'm Southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
dillgent inquiries remained fruitleEs.
From other parts of the German pos
sessions came reports of strange pre-
objections for articles Of German com
merce, as, for example, rubber heels,
garters, buckles, and so forth. things
which the natives of those countries do
not generally use.
The governor Of the colony gave an
entertainment one year In honor or
the emperOr's birthday and invited the
chiefs of the different tribes to It.
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings OF
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages, and it came to light
that the white china insulatOrs of the
telegraph poles had become earrings.
A young lady OF the highest distinc'
ton In native society wore a rubber
heel hanging from her nose, and a
young man who was a well known
dandy wore dangling from his ears
pair of beautiful pink silk carriers.

Men Of Learning Are But Theorists
When They Come TO Face the
Facts of Life.

That great part of the body be-
sides the bones is really dead in a
healthy, living man is the verdict Of
science. Even the blood. which has
always been called "the life" is only
alive as to its corpuscles. These swim
in the liquid known as the plasma,
which is not alive and can be replaced
by a serum that may have been stand
ing in a druggists bottle for six
months. With the hair, teeth, bones
and blood plasma are to be classed
the lymph the chyle, the fluids in the
pleura. pericardium, peritoneum and
even the cerebro-spinal fluid-the fluid
part of the brain and spinal column.
None of the gases and fluids in the
body are more alive than the lime Of
as the only living part. and these are
dying and being pepiacsd .lhy The All'

From allsnf which facts it is argued
by certain scientists that life Is no
more real than death and that the
only difference between life and death
is a state Of the protoplasm or con
tents OF the cell. As long as the cell
is alive it retains and controls the
chemical substances which constitute
protoplasm But as soon as 1t is really
dead, the control Is lacking and the
cell breaks up.
