EXTINCT MONSTERS.

Oh, had lived in the good old days
When the ichthyosaurus romped around,
When the elias nosaurus swan the bays
And the silva herium paved the ground,
Would have spent my precious time
At weaving go den thoughts in rhyme?
When the tinoceras snooped about,
And the pier 1dactyl tapped its wings,
When the bron tops with the warty snout
Moseyed around for herbs and things,
Would have bothered myself o'ermuch
About divine a Hiatus and such?
The dinotheriun flourished then.
The pterygotIs dashed the seas,
The rhamphorrnchu prospered when
The scaphogr athus perched in trees,
And every cres ture, wild or tame,
Rejoiced in some roceco name.
Pause and ponder, who could write
A triOlet or roundelay,
While megatlerium yawped all night
And a hesper lrnis yawped all day,
While, now and again, the bray sonorous
Of Glyptodon asper swelled the chorus?
If I'd been almost anything
But a poet. might have got along;
Those extinct monsters of hoof and wing
Were not conducive to lyric song.
So nature reserved this tender bard
For the kindlie- age of pork and lard.

Bullet proof uniforms, it appears, were
known long ago to the Chinese. They were
made of leather and wool in the north and
paper and cotton cloth in the south of

combinations armOr. and yet they make an

Thirty thicknesses of alternate calico and

y spearman who thrusts his weapon into

neither wound his enemy nor extract his
weapon, and if the enemy is an archer or
armed with long sword or iavelin he is
likely to lose his life for his mischance.

Ivory Ball Making a Slow Process

1t does not look reasonable that to l2
months should be needed to make a bill
lard ball, but first class ball cannot be
manufactured in less time, owing to the
tendency of carved ivory to shrink If it
shrank equally, hall could be cut and pol
ished in a few hours, but it does not, the
shrinkage being greater in the direction of
the width than of the length of the tusk

shrinkage process has been completed,

done.-Chicago Tribune.

He of San Domingo Gets Afoul of Some
French Gold.
NEW YoRK, March 31.-The Clyde Line
Steamship Saginaw arrived from San
Domingo yesterday. The passengers bring
news of the arrest of the president of San
Domingo by French naval officers in San
Domingo City. According to the story the
president had taken s.. 900 from a French
bank, the manager of which called upon
the two French cruisers lying in the har-
Dor to prevent the escape of the president
to Monte Cristo, whittier he was about to
start to quell an insurrection. The presi-
dents sudden descent upon the bank was
the outcome of a legal suit between hi II
and some of the French residents involving
the payment of money.
Couldn't Wait for the Courts.
The case was sent to a higher court for
Judgment, but apparently this was delayed
too long to suit the president. So he or
dered ont his militia with instructions to
seize whatever French gold they could find.
The soldiers proceeded to the bank on
March IA, broke down the doors. and blew
open the vault and carried off $4,000 in
cash. The French commander on the
cruiser was apprised of the outrage and
sent an armed force ashore who captured
the president as he was about to proceed to
Monte Cristo, a place on the Dominican
and IIaytien borders. The president was
held in custody and word was sent TO
France regarding the affair.

ANOTHER CRISIS IN FRANCE.
Senate and Chamber Fail to Agree aud

PARIS, March. 3l.-The conflict on the
the budget between the chamber of depu-
ties and the senate yesterday resulted in
the downfall of the ministry. The imme-
diate cause of the crisis was a division of
opinion between senators and deputies as
to the respective prerogatfves of the two
chambers in matters of financial legisla-
ton. The liquor law amendment bill was
originally a part of the budget and was
sent as such by the deputies to the sena-
tors. The senators decided that the bill
ought to be separated from the budget, and
were supported in this decision by the gov
ernment.
a Matter of Legislative Prerogative.
The decision was unpalatable to the
deputies, as was shown by the budget
committees resolution. passed despite the
earnest protests of Premier Ribot and FL
nance Minister Tirard, that the deputies
assert their rights in financial matters and
return the budget to the senate without
considering the amendments of the senate
thereto. The ministry Immediately went
to the Elysee and laid their designations
before Carnot who tried in vain to induce
them to recall their action. Last night
the chamber clinched the action by refus-
ing to vote on account to cover the next
two months-the vote being 504 to 5 in the
negative
