DUMAS AND HIS BARBER.

Origin Of the Practice Of Specializing
In 1heater Tickets.
The practice of specializing in thea
ter tickets, strange as it may appear.
was started by the elder Dumas. He
patronized a Paris barber named Por-
cher, and one day this worthy while
shaving the novelist asked him why
he did not sell the tickets given him
by the managers of the theaters where
his plays were produced.
ITO whom could sell themT' asked
the author Of the ''Three Musketeers."
why, to me, If you like" replied Por'
cher. "And what would you do with
themT asked Dumas. "That's my
business" replied the barber, contin-
uing tn lather the bronzed face of the
famous story teller.
"But give you tickets whenever
you ask for them" said Dumas. "Ah!
One or two are not sufficient for my
purpose" responded Porcher. II must
have all your tickets. and every day
to-" And you will pay for them?"
Ga1d the dramatist. "Cash." was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly in need Of money. so he at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher. who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair, made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly be
came rich.

Victoria and Napoleon.


Queen Victoria once gave remark
able description Of her visit to the
tomb Of Napoleon l. during the reign
Of Napoleon III. 1.-The coffin is not yet

emperor led me, and there stood at
the arm Of Napoleon ILL.,. his nephew.
before the coffin Of England's bitterest
foe, I, the granddaughter Of that king
who hated him most and who most
vigorously opposed him and this very
nephew, who bears his name, being
my nearest and dearest ally! The or
gan Of the church was playing God
Save the Queen at the time, and this
solemn scene took place by torchlight
and during a thunderstorm. Strange
and wonderful indeed!'

INVISIBLE LIGHT.
Only When Il Strikes tho Retins. Of the
Ego Can 1t Be Seen.

Ego Can It Be Seen.
What is the simplest demonstration
Of the fact that light is invisible?
The blackness of midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.
We may see the planets brilliantly illu-
minated by the suns rays, but the sur
rounding space Is dark, although We
know that light must be passing there.
The passage Of a beam Of light
through a darkened room is only wis.,
bic on the dust in the air, and the cone
Of light seen when the sun shines
through a small hole in a shutter is
not visible. but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This can
be easily and simply demonstrated by
placing in the beam glass vessel
from which the dust has been careful.
" removed. The beam then may be
seen before and behind the vessel. but
10 invisible within. A Bunsen burner
or a redhot poker held so as to destroy
the notes will also render the beam
invisible at that spot.
Light Is only visible when it strikes
on the retina Of the eye, and it can
only do so when it reaches it I'm d.
rect line or is turned by reflection or
refraction into a direct line. Just as
the bullets from gun do a man no
harm unless aimed or turned in their
course toward his body, so light is
without effect unless it is aimed or
turned toward the retina.-Pearson's
Weekly.

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent. most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and

people should not eat anything they

starve themselves into sickness through
fear of eating every good-Iooking. good

cause it does not agree with them.

An Offensive Cravat.

A man once called upon Whistler
with a letter Of introduction, and an
amusing scene followed, arising out Of
the fact that the visitor was wearing
a red necktie. Whistler declared it in
terfered with the color scheme Of his
room and put him OF" picture he
was painting in quite different key"
Finally he obliged him to take of the
offending cravat before he would con-
descend to exchange another word
with him.

Climate and Food.

In the arctic regions human food Is
almost exclusively animal. because
that is the only sort which is available
in quantity. In the tropics. where vege-
table food is abundant and animal
foods readily decay. plant products are
and always have been Of very great
importance in the diet. In temperate
regions all kinds of food may be- Sc
cured, and it seems reasonable to sup
pose that all kinds have always been
eaten as they are today.
