CLAUDE DUVAL.
The Gallant Hig h wayman Was of French
Extraction.

The Gallant Highwayman Was of French
Extraction.
This gallant robber of mems purses and
ladies' hearts was of French extraction.
He was born at Domfront, in Normandy,
where his father was miller. In his
youth he was for some time page to
the Duke of Richmond, and then
turned highwayman, calling which
be found remarkably profitable. On
one occasion he met the Master
OF the Buckhounds to Charles II, one
Squire Roper, as he was pursuing soli-
tary hunt in Windsor Forest But the
hunter became the hunted; the sport was
changed Claude Duval quietly demanded
the masters purse, pocketed so guineaS
and left him bound hand and foot to be-
wall his fate until he was released by the
foresters. The life of this notorious Grim
inal furnishes US with an example OF the
peculiar fascination which the "sport" af-
forded to its votaries. Duval became so
rich with his ill-gotten gains that he was
enabled to retire from the profession and
return to France. But quiet life, free
from the excitement of his old career, did
not agree with his adventurous spirit. He
returned again to England and resumed
his avocations. At length he was cap-
tured at the "Hole in the Wall, in Chan
dos street. While in prison awaiting his
doom many ladies Of position visited him
and endeavored to obtain his release. but
justice was inexorable and he was hanged
at Ty burn in January, 1870. His epitaph
in st. Paul's Church, Covent Garden,
speaks of him as "Old Tyburn's glory.
England's illustrious thief" and tells us:

the historian of Windsor Forest, describes
in his work the interior of this haunt, and
tells of the old fireside and chimney, in

its only access was through a trap door in

cealed by the smoke. Here Duvai often

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov 26.-An esti-

Southern California railroads, and it

Comparison of Mans and WOman's
Strength.

A comparison of the muscular strength
of woman with that Of man, including
every important group of muscles from
toe to crown. has been made by means
of an improved dynamometer by DR.. j.
H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek. Michigan.
The doctor concludes paper containing
elaborate tables of scientific measure
ments with the following summary: l.
The strength of the average woman, in
comparison with her weight, is less than
two-thirds that of the average man, as
compared with his weight. 2 The
strength of the average woman. in COM
parison with her height, is only four
seventies that of the average man. 3.
The total strength of the average woman.
as compared with the total strength of
the average man, is 3d. The weight of
the average woman, as compared with
that of the average man. is Sc. The
height of the average woman, as com
pared with that of the average man, is
90. 1t thus appears that the average
woman, while less than the average man
in height, is still more inferior in weight,
and presents still higher degree of in
feriority in strength. A comparative
study of men and women between forty
and fifty years of age would possibly
show women to be somewhat less infer
ior in weight.

Hard on Cats,

The French government has just had
occasion to appoint commission to in
quire into the grievances of the cats in
it's employ. Their report is an amusing
exhibition of official stupidity, and will
rouse a righteous indignation in the
bosom OF all friends OF the useful NOUS
er. 1t appears that cats are kept in
some of the French military magazines
to keep down the surplus population of
rats and mice. Their food is regulated
by ministerial decree according to cir
cumstance. and at present there is a
regulation in force authorizing an ex
psnditure of two and half confines
per cat per diem. But this does not
seem enough, as the unfortunate gov
ernmental cats have grown extremely
thin, so at last the Ministry appointed
specialists to inquire into the matter.
These have gravely reported that "the
cats of the army are very slow to accus-
tom themselves to the diet prescribed
by the government circular. Thus they
seldom eat bread, and never lap up
greasy water unless actually driven
thereto by paugs of hunger, so that they
are dying off or else abandoning the
military magazines"

CHRIST'S ASCENSION.
Acts i, LA.
Lesson XIII.-January 3. 1897.
INTRODUCTION.

We now enter on series OF lessons
which may be designated as The HIS
TORY OF THE BEGINNINGS OF THE CHRIS
TIAN CHuRoH.-A mystery perplex-
ing to many beholder is this: Why
does the Christian world exalt an Invisi-
BILE Leader? fact eugges ted is
striking. No living man has ever with
his bodily eyes seen Christ. No one
with his bodily ears has ever heard
Christ. Yet the whole of Christendom
acknowledges as it's Living Master the
Personal Christ. How this State
OF things came to exist, how men first
learned to obey and love one they had
not seen,-in other words how the Chris
tian Church began,-we may hope to
learn in our studies in Acts and the
Epistles. When we have learned why
the bereaved apostles came to believe
that the Immortal Jesus was still with
them, and that they were to be his
Body,-that HIS CHURCH was to be the
witness of HIS PRESENCE until the con-
summation of the ages,-it will be no
longer mystery that Christendom still
seeks the inspiration and guidance OF an
Invisible and Inaudible Leader.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-12-26

having completed his course of instrue-
tion to his disciples and given them his
commandments, and having been cruel
fed he showed himself to his disciples
after his sufferings. He showed them, by
many proofs, during forty days, that he
was from the invisible world beholding
them, Che disciples SAW the Risen Jesus,
at the tomb. in their chamber, in Galilee
by the lakeside and on the mountain; and
in all his appearings lie istructed them
concerning the Kingdom of God.) He was
now by appointment finally with them in
Jerusalem; he was in the intimate COM
partnership with them which is symbol;zed
by the saying (see margin) that he ate
with them. He commended them to stay
in Jerusalem together until the Holy
Spirit should come upon them. This would
be baptism differing from Johns; his
was an expression of repentance; this
would be emancipation into the Holy
Spirit.
ca V. 6-S. The PROMISE. - Again
Jesus is with his disciples. He leads them
from their room over Olivet toward Beth
any. They ask him whether he will at
that time restore Israel; showing that
they have but imperfectly apprehended
the universal nature of the Gospel
Times and seasons, epochs and events,
can never by finite intelligence be exact
ly determined. When the Holy Ghost
falls on the disciples they will have power
to work and patience to wait. Jesus
impresses upon his disciples that they are
to be his witnesses to the whole world.
81 V. Ola THE FINAL PARTING. -
While Jesus was speaking he began to
vanish He assumed the attitude of ben
ediction. A cloud, like a gauzy veil, COW

long where Jesus had disappeared, vague
ly hoping to see him reappear.
"men" in priestly apparel stand by. They
speak to the disciples. This is the pur
port of their message: Look no more to the
sky thinking Jesus will return at his van
ishing point. He WILL RETAIN THE INvIs-
IBILIrY HE NOW ASSUMES. He will come to
you as spirit, as you have seen him now
become. The disciples believed; they
had joy in their expectancy: they fire.
quented the temple; they gave themselves
to prayer. They confidently waited.
The ascent of Jesus is the fitting
climax of his earthly ministry. If he
had babe his disciples no formal good-by
if he had gone away ana left them in
doubt as to his going, they might have
spent all their lives in the expectation of
his visible return.
1t is one of the singularities of his
tory that the very message of the myster-
ious men in white, which warned the dis
ciples against looking for Christs return
from the skies in visible form, should
be interpreted as declaration that Christ
is coming again in the body from the
skies.
