Alexandre Dumas, the great Frcucb story writer, was very fond and proud of hla son Alexandre, who also became n famous author. Ills regard for him was Increased apparently by the fact that the son had a very good appreciation of the value of money, a quality which the father did not possess in the slightest degree. A writer of recollections relates (hat he once visited Dumas nt 8t. Germain. He had Just been bitten in the baud by his dog and was unable to write, but was dictating a novel. Ills son went out as the visitor came in. "Alexander has just left me.'' said the father. "Whut a good fellow that hoy Is! dust fancy, this morning I received or*) francs. He said to mo, 'I'll take ."*) francs of it.' I didn't quite hear and thought he was going to leave, me only oO. So 1 called out: 'Hold on! I>et me have 100 of it at least!' 'But I toll you I'm only going to take 50!' ho called out. 'Oh, oh,' said I, 'I thought you were going to take the 000. Well, take as much as you want.' " Aud Dumas added proudly, "What a golden hearted fellow Alexandre is. to he sure!" > It Wann't n Dream. Archbishop Thompson was greatly surprised when he was given the archdiocese of York. He bad been suffering acutely from toothache and upon mod lcni 5iuvice uiiii resorxeu 10 nurcoucs. After !i particularly liad night lie set out for his doctor, though his wife had besought hini not to submit to further narcotics, as after tlieni he was "not himself* for some hours. On the way lie met the postman, who handed hint a letter announcing his preferment from Gloucester to York. 11c rushed hack ntnl hurst excitedly into the house, the toothache all forgotten. "Zoo, Zoe!" he cried. "What do you think has : happened? I am archbishop of York!" "There, what did I tell you?" rejoined his wife. "You've been taking that horrible narcotic again and are quite out of your head." The Mnrltle lliltle of llnrimi. Great as lias been the amount of labor expended on the various Bibles of the world, the palm for execution must he given to the Kutlio-daw. which is a Buddhist monument near Mandalay, in Burma. It consists of about 700 temples, each containing a slab of white marble on which the whole of this Buddhist Bible, containing over 8,000,- ! 000 syllables, lias been engraved. The Burmese alphabet is used, hut the lau- , guage is I'ali. This wonderful Bible is absolutely unique. The Kutho-dnw was erected in 18T?7 by Mindon-niiu, the , last king hut one of Burma. The vast i collection of temples together form a ! square, with a dominating temple in the | center. Each of the marble slabs on ! which the sacred text Is inscribed is surmounted by an ornamental canopy in pagoda form. Cook Inland Cairn. There are some strange laws in the Cook Islands, in the eastern Pacific. The population is Maori and each island legislates for itself. The island council of Matiihiki, one of the group, has in force an ordinance to regulate village life within the island. It begins by re-enacting "the ancient law of Manihikl as to dogs" and sentencing to death u 113* dogs on the island, l'igs are not to wander at large, and any person going about after !> p. in. may he ar rested and taken to the courthouse to explain his reason for being abroad.

In Scotland the custom still prevails of taking down the window blinds at a deatli and banging white sheets 1 across the windows.

SMITH ,, 4 PERT PARAGRAPHS. When marriage makes $1 do the work that $12 did before it is a poignant success. The assessor always nabs the man who hasn't a good eye for the shrink- j lug of values. Some children arc credits to their ! parents and some are liabilities. One way of getting a reputation for being a good conversationalist is to pusli the button of a man's self conceit. He'll do the rest. Some people expect the world to send around a special messenger with the living it owes them on h silver platter. Some children are quite gracious when their parents apologize to them. The man who goes back on his friends seldom has a come back. It Is queer that those extremely good people know so much about the true Inwardness of the evil that horrifles them so much. Women can't mean everything that they say and still bo women.

It rustles to the rabbit's tread; Hut by nnd by Tho fields will lie With tender verdure overspread. Down by tho river's icy brink No longer do the swallows drink; The skater's shout Is ringing out. And merrily the runners clink. Tho snow birds twitter in the trees And gobble up the crumbs with ease That out you throw Upon tho snow; Tou wonder that they do not freeze.
