tlie Elder.
. tj osscb of Dumas’ art PoiiaisU
in a conce ption of life without con
science; without dread of death, or of
thodtcoins that may come when \yo
huvQ shuffled oJF tliia mortal coil.
He was not a thinker. Of IInmlr:
Dumas could understand little oi
nothing. No hero of Dumas is ewr
sicklied o’er by the pale cast of
thought. IIo lives without thinking
about life—or death; lives for tbo en
joyment and gladness of living and
of loving; lives toy ambition, fight-
mg. wealth and pleasure, and is al
ways gallantly Heady to defend his
honor with his sword. An unbounded
self indulgence shades olF into tlio
neutral tinted superstition engendered
by a corrupt church.
These heroes are young, handsome,
graceful, brave, arc full of superficial
chivalry, and of the external require
ments of nobleness. They are gener
al lv animated, vivacious, gay, joyous,
ana there is always pleasure in con
templating men who, ruled by any
ideas, yet livo and aro full of life.
With his views of life it comes to pass
that this gaillard Dtunas deals much
with the alliterative nualitics of ad
venture, adultery, ambition, assassin
ation, and abovo nil. ho revels in a
duel—a duel fierce, determined, skill
ful, deadly. IIo is a truo lover of the
sword, specially of tlio picturesquo
rapier, combined with tlio fahil dag
ger. Duinas delights in the sumptuous
hilt and in tho white gleaming of the
lovely blndo of. tho knightly anno
blanche. Wlmt a Gascon is to an or
dinarv Frenchman that is Di^ms to
all other romancers. Ho cares i. tiling
for morality when it stands in "ppn.si
tion to valor, passion, success, splen
dor. His work is, |>erliap.s, more subtly
suited to bis native land than it is to
Germany or to England, but yet it
delights all that love romance and
care for tho picturesquo of chivalry
and even of crime, it is enough for
Dumas if his heroes bo of iiohlo birth,
of reckless valor, young, and with tho
graces of cuinp and court.
His view of life is mainly showy
and’ romantic; a view who'll. as an
alterative from sterner anti nobler con
ceptions. wo can heartily enjoy. The
vigor hii(] agility of Dumas’ virile and
vivacious mind and temperament al
ways worked hi fullest sympathy with
the characters that he‘depicted, and
witli tho manners and morals of the
times which he portmved. His young
cavaliers had to each Go a gallant to
his lady, a warrior to his foe. Philip
Sidney, when his contracted bride,
Penelope, Ixnupo Lady Rich, by a
strong effort or moral rectitude con
quered an unlawful passion; but Du
mas would not have sympathized with
tho heroic action, and would have re
garded the peerless paladin with much
surprise and with somo contempt.—
Gontlerann's Magazine.
Tlio ftlcdgo ami tlio Deer.
Tho body of tho sledge is placed very
high on a pair of long thin runners,
having a gradual curve and projecting
about four feet beyond tuo actual
sledge, so that they creak tho shock
when tho sledgo is being driven over
rough ground. All tho parts of tho
glcago aro lashed together with rein
doer skin thongs, and If isowing to the
great elasticity and pliancy thereby
given to tho wholfc fabric that these
flimsy constructions resist tho very
rough treatment to which they arc as
a rulo subjected.
Tho method of harnessing tho deer
is of the simplest; abroad leather hoop
passes round the neck; to this is
fastened the long tlnnig, which serves
as a trace, and which passes down the
chest between the fora legs and out
between the hind legs.
Tlio driving is done with a single
rein, which .is fastened to a crooked
niece of bono or wood, fastened imme
diately over the ball of the eye, one of
the tenderest parts in the reindeer, and
which, if scientifically jorkcu to tho
right or left, causes tlio animal to an
swer to tho rein very quickly. The
outsido deer on tho near side is the
only ono provided with this arrange
ment, and tho biggest ami oldest deer
ara always placed in this-responsible
iKwition, the others being kept to their
work by tho “chnvc,” or long driving
pole. A good “leading" deer i* the
most valuable of a hJcunoyede’s posses
sions. and >\ ill often coat us much as
three or fourordinary deer. The usual
number of di'er*hariiess<»d ton sledge
is thive; but this, of course, varies ac
cording to tho weight carried, agi* of
the deer, etc.—Murray’s Magaziug.

A woman with her jaw tied up in a
handkerchief was standing in the
way leading to a Woodward avenue
dentist’s yesterday when a boy came
along, caught on, und stopped to in-
quin*:
“Ache very hard.'"
“Yes.”
“How long?*’
“For a week.”
“Going to have it pulled
“I I guess SO.”
“Tried p«ppuniimt, camphor, hot
salt, ashes, laudanum and so on, 1 sup
pose.”
“Kicked over chairs, spanked tho
children and jawed wm* husband
“Yes.”
“Lemiue see.”
She opened licr mouth and put her
finger on the tooth, and he made a
brief ins;>ection and said:
*‘I was going to advise the faith
cure, but it’s too far gone. Advise
you to have it pulled. Deleterious to
your general system in present state.
Won’t hurt over thirty seconds. Go

“There is one error in diet,” said the
doctor, “which, if pursued for a not
very long time, is certain to result iu
death.”
“What is that, doctor/” asked the
patient, anxiously.
“Not eating anything,” said the
doctor, grimly, and shaking the pa
tient’s feeble hand feebilly he tottered
to tho door.—Burdettd in Brooklpi
