Odbm and Hla Economical Son.
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. No
debt Incurred by a native inhabitant is
to be recoverable in any court. Selling
or giving intoxicating liquor to any
native inhabitant is punishable with a
tine of $50.
Funerals In Scotland.
In Scotland the custom still prevails
of taking down the window blinds at
a deatli and banging white sheets 1
across the windows. The custom also
prevails in the north of England, a/id
in many families a special sheet reserved
for the death chamber is kept
for the purpose and often used from
generation to generation. lu many
parts of Scotland, too, it is still customary
for the nearest, relatives of the do ,
ceased to lower the hod.v into the gave
and wait by the side until the grave is
tilled tip.?Westminster tlazette.

Bret Hnrte's consulship at Ulasgow '
was a sort of joke. William Black. \

slowly entered a city Bret said, "What i

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

A Pleasing Note.
While blow the wintry breezes now
And ehufc the barren branch anil bough,
Beneath the snow

And wait the south wind's tender sough.
In empty holds the grass lies dead.
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.
Another sound comes now nnd then;
It's music In the cars of men;
It hints of cheer
Tills time of year?
