His Disregard of Money and Failure
as Publisher.
The Mousquetaire, "a Partisan
journal founded by Alexandra Du-
mas, grew and flourished for ST ort
time and then became extinct. 1t
was carried on during brilliant ex
istence with an astonishing disre-
gard of business methods commonly
in vogue. Its staff was the largest
and most varied ever known. Per-
sons would walk into the office, pro-
pose working for the paper and find
themselves at once accepted.
"What will you allow me?" a new
man would ask.
"Whatever you like, my boy" Du-
mas would return. ''By the way"
he would explain to every new as
pirant, 1--WE must understand one
thing: | mean you to be handsome
ly paid. You must have 900 francs
month, and if you should want
months pay in advance now don't
scruple to ask for it."
Everybody was dazzled, and Du-
mas himself more than all the rest.
No business enterprise, however,
could exist on such basis, and the
journal began to languish. Then
man named Boule proposed taking
the speculation out of Dumas
hands. He offered the great man
100 francs a day, which meant more
than $1,000 year
"Here,' said Boule, "is check
book full of those little tinted
leaves you are so fond Of Every
morning you have only to write
your name at the foot of one, send
it into the office and touch your 100
francs"
Dumas loved money, and his face
beamed with delight. 'But sup
pose" said he, 'that some day |
should want 800 or 400 francs?"
"Well, all you have to do is to
send in three or four of your
checks. Nothing is more simple"
The book lay on the authors
desk, a delightful and ready re-
source. Did creditor call? A slip
of paper, and he was paid A poor
woman was about to be turned out
into the street. A few more slips.
and she was relieved At the end
of the week nothing was left of the
book but the cover. Then Boule
changed his mode Of procedure.

The clerk at the table could not

and an accomplished man of let

He explained that, though he could

Queer Chinese Headdress.

The female headdress is carried
in some countries to singular ex-
travagance. The Chinese beauty
carries on her head the figure of a
certain bird. This is composed OF
copper or of gold, according to the
rank of the person. The wings
spread out and fall over the front
of the headdress and conceal the
temples; the tail, long and open,
forms a beautiful tuft of feathers;
the beak covers the top of the nose !;
the neck is fastened to the body of
the artificial animal by a spring
that it may the more freely play
and tremble at the slightest mo-
ton.

Of Frith's own portraits painted by

a small shop in Great Portland street
"It's not bit like what you are now"
observed the friend, ''but it may have

Mr. Firth went and found his own
image after an estrangement of forty
five years. He determined to buy it.

An Ancient French Custom.

Anciently in many parts of
France when a sale of land took
place it was the custom to have
twelve adult witnesses accompanied
by twelve little boys, and when the
price of the land was paid and its
surrender took place the ears of the
boys were pulled and they were
beaten severely SO that the pain
thus inflicted should make an i'm
preston upon their memory and, if
required afterward, they might bear
witness to the sale.

MEXICAN SWEETMEATS.
Vegetables of All Kinds Are Candied
or Preserved.

l was surprised at the Mexican
sweetmeats, said a New Yorker just
back from Mexico. | do not think
there can be any fruit or vegetable
which they do not candy, preserve
in strip or convert into jam.
In a queer little pueblo in the
state of Zacatecas | heard a wo-
man calling monotonously, "Cimar-
rones, calabasasw Now, these
words in English mean sweet pota-
toes and pumpkins. She had a
small tray, held in place by leath-
er thong that went around her
neck.
l crossed the plaza and asked her
for five cents worth of calabasas.
She placed several pieces of a sug-
airy yellow substance in paper bag,
and 1 realized that / was going to
have the experience of tasting can
died pumpkin.
II you can imagine pumpkin pie
frozen hard and saturated with sug-
ar you can get an idea of the flavor
of that queer CONNECTION. One
grows to like it after one has lived
in Mexico for awhile.
The cimarrones were also rather
nice. The sweet potatoes are boiled
in water until they are soft. They
are then soaked in hot strip and
candied. A final coating of pow
dered white sugar is added and
gives them the appearance of large
Easter eggs.
Beets, carrots, turnips and arti-
chokes are some of the vegetables
made into sweetmeats in Mexico.
Tropical fruits of every description
are also used for this purpose, and
candied watermelon peel is great
favorite.
The regular stand of the sweet
meat vendors is on the plaza, but at
night they turn out III force around
the doors of the theaters. A Mexi-
an senorita' would not enjoy the
show unless she had a good supply

vile entertainment was being given
at the little theater, and about 8
o'clock / strolled over to take in an

the fence, which, if one so desires it,
may also be constructed of a mixture
of concrete.
The design presented herewith has
the common form and method Of get
ting the cattle into the dip. being so
provided with slide of metal that will
precipitate them in headforemost.
A much better method still is to pro-
vide gradual incline that will take
the animals in till the water is half
up to their sides. then giving them the
drop.
With such an arrangement as this
the cattle will hardly need any urg-
ing to pass through the dip. and the
shock and injury to them will be less.
