When M. de Villeniessant was found ing Le Grand Journal, he wrote to Du mas, asking for his assistance. Dumas at once prepared a romance in six vol umes. In the meantime the editor asked him for some articles or cause ries, which were to be published imme diately. "I have the very thing!" cried Dumas. "I was just about to start on a whole series about snakes." "On snakes?" "Yes. I have the entire sub ject at my fingers' ends. I spent half SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.

"At first I thought that as fresh water in many places bubbled up through the sand at low tide the birds were not really drinking the sea water, but by watching elosely I distinctly saw them walk across these tiny run- i nels without making any attempt to drink.

Birds In Indian Legeadi. All primitive people regard the bird as specially wise and favored. Living In the air, he is regarded as exercising control over atmospheric phenomena, aud, knowing so well his own migra tory seasons, the Indians observe his flights as foreboding ill or good to themselves. The flurons bellve that the dove earries the souls of the departed hence. The Dakotas say the storm bird dwells so "high as to be out of human vision and carries a fresh water lake on his back, so that when he plumes himself it rains, when he winks his bright eyes It lightens, when he flaps his wings thunder rolls. The Alaskans hold much the same Idea about the "thuiider bird." Among them all the eagle is mighty, brave, aspiring, the symbol of their warriors for apparent reasons. The kingfisher is anxious to serve his broth er man. It's a great thing to be of feme use in the world. "Brinton Eliot." If not sure of the merit of your ideas, J quote them as another's.

OF A Unman Paradox. One often hears an amusing para doxsuch as a brass tin whistle going around a square, a home whitewashed terra cotta, and "an awfully nice" thing. But it is not a common occur rence to come across a "black white man," and yet this phenomenon is to be seen almost any day in New York. The gentleman is said to be a colored minister in the city, and although in the- distance he bears the outward re semblance of a white man more espe cially on account of his pallideatures und gray white hair he is unmistak ably of the colored race, and what is not the least remarkable Is that in coKBonance with his paradoxical ap- pearance he is wont to relish "hot ice cream puffs!" New York Times. A Story of Cervantes. Cervantes once gave a proof that his generosity was fully equal to his gen ius. In the early part of his life he was for some time a slave in Algiers, and there he devised a plan to free himself and thirteen of his f ellow .sufferers. One of them traitorously revealed the design, and they were all brought be fore the dey of Algiers, who promised them their lives on condition that they revealed the contriver of the plot. "Iwas that person," at once cried Cervantes. "Save my companions and let me perish alone." The dey. struck by his intrepidity, spared his life,, allowed him to be ran somed and permitted him to go home. Royalty and Profanity. William the Conqueror did not Intro- 1 duce swearing into England, but he j brought with him a very forcible oath. ! William was accustomed to swear "by the splendor of God," and on such oc casions he combined with it the "ter rible aspect of the eyes," which always . took the place of swearing in the case of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. After ' William's time the rulers of England, with possibly here and there an excep tion, swore with great frequency and vigor. It is related ihat even Queen Bess, whose auburn locks did not belie a fiery temper, would break into a string of expletives that would rattle the 'royal windows and frighten the household and royal attendants from all sense of diplomatic recourse.

A woman is all heart and sentiment, and while her fortress is a strong one, yet she expects to be conquered, and once she surrenders she loves no one more than her conqueror. "Buell Hampton."
