The SuItan's CuriOsitiey,

One cannot be surprised to hear that
the sultan thinks of turning his innum-
erable curiosities into money. Those
who have been allowed to visit the Dar-
es-Saadet and st. Irene-a rare privilege,
nowadays--have been wondering ever
since, probably, what motive or supersti-
ton has checked his majesty so long.
Nor is it altogether surprising that
London jeweler of position should hesi-
tate to accept the charge of valuing these
miscellaneous hoards-a dozen experts
of the most consummate assurance would
find more than they could deal with
there. One thing is certain that nobody
can form an idea how much this: aston
ishing collection is worth. We may sup
pose from the choice Of a jeweler no adj
wise him, that the sultan puts most value
on his gems. Certainly theyare so many
and so huge that all the crown treasures
of Europe could not equal the display
if only they be genuine. But there is
grave doubt on chat question, to begin
with. .y, sf'.0i.ta" ..~ r-'od ha'21
Since the gates have been closed to all
but a few favored visitors, there has
been no effective supervision of the
guardians, who, it must be supposed,
are not paid more punctually than other
officials. It was on their complaint Of
purloining strangers that the old facili.
ties were withdrawn, and some think
that they had a motive quite different
from honest indignation in that protest.
| When those museums. are overhauled
however, thousands OF objects more
precious than gold or jewels will be un
| earthed. As an instance, a thief succeed
ed in stealing three old helmets from st
Irene just before the doors were closed
and sold them to an English gentleman
resident at Pera for less than a hundret
francs apiece. This gentleman partet
| with one for more than q THOUSAND
pounds.--Lendon Standard. .tr

Captured by a Sheriff on Bicycle.


A week ago young woman calling
herself Josie Ellis, who has been en-
ployed at Gilbert's restaurant in Wau-
kesha, Wis, was arrested on a charge
Of having stolen watch, and was placed
in Jail to await her hearing At. the jail
the prisoner was allowed to go about the
house as she liked, and took her meals
with the sheriff's family. Yesterday
noon, however, she declined to go to her
meal, and another prisoner, having the
run of the building, was directed to re-
port if she attempted to leave. Word
came that the woman had departed. The
sheriff mounted his bicycle and gave
chase. The girl lodged from place to
place, through streets and alleys and old
buildings, and eluded her pursuer for
half an hour or more, but he finally over
hauled her. On her return to jail it was
found that she had on six dresses and
duplicate underclothing sufficient to
make up fair sized wardrobe. Chi

DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
1t Exists Only Where the Housekeeper Is
Also a Home Maker.

1t Exists Only Where the Housekeeper Is
Also a Home-MaI<er.
me-keeping is something more
than housekeeping. Wherever there
is man of our race there is, If not
home, the need of home, and wher-
ever there is true lady of the Anglo
Saxon lineage there is '1oaf-giver," a
homemaker and home-preserver. AS
all the rivers empty into the sea, as the
sea forever feeds the sources of every
stream, so all colleges, schools, churches,
all arts and trades, continually give up
their results to the home and are, in
turn, dependent upon the home. 1t is
the level of the sea that fixes the
measure of the mountain tops; the level
Of the homes of race measures all the
institutions of the race. Whatever is
rooted up or borne down in the vast
progress of civilization, the mother will
survive, and will give her stamp to life.
1t is a woman's peculiar province to
create beauty and order in the habits
and associations of daily existence. She
takes the raw material, in the shape Of
her husbands income, great or small,
and from it she evolves as much
comfort, as many legitimate graft
fcations, and as many of the
finer uses of home as she can. There
is wide range for many varieties of
skill and knowledge. In one home we
see the results of thorough domestic
training; the mother possesses all the
resources of a wise and practical system
of household management. Another
covers the unprepared intuitional wom-
an, who loves because she loves and
makes home without previous train
ing, as bird builds a nest Our home
keeping shall not show inhospitality to
woman's thought regarding home mat
ters and whatever concerns humanity
concerns the home.
In these days materialism is knocking
at every door. 1t has even found its
way within the sanctuary, and invades
the very nursery. To wives and mothers
it offers the insidious plea that modern
civilizati tion will relieve her of her cares.
Multiplied conveniences and trained
servants are to be the important facts
of her home; she is to preside"
ruling only as queen rules when her
constitutional advisers govern her as
well as the kingdom. This is false
theory of home rule in the family,
whatever it may be in the State. Home
keeping implies an earnest and re-
sponsible charge of sacred interests. In
the administration of home affairs the
house mother can trust no one between
herself and God.
The cooking, sewing, furnishing, are
all good, needful things, to be done
more or less by proxy, according to cir
cumstances, but all worth knowing
about. The necessary precautions for
health in modern dwellings, the secret
of nutrition for infants, for the aged, as
well as for those who can enjoy all the
varied dietary of "a good table," the
wisest methods in Elemental develop
ment of early Childhood; these are inn
portant branches that belong to home
keeping. Dora Read Goodale. in N. Y.
