"A syndicate Of young thieves in Paris

try of robbing the robber. At the great
fashion shops of the Louvre and the
Bon Marche, the detectives whose duty
1t is to watch the shoplifter have been
assisted for many weeks by a band of
amateurs whose existence they never
suspected. The false inspectors enter
the shops as customers and hang about
until they find their suspect departing
with purloined goods. Then, having
got their victim, generally a woman,
they track her. home, demand the res
titution of the stolen property, and in

there are countless opportunities for

The Klondike boom hasn't panned
out as it was expected to. Travel to
Alaska has fallen off tremendously the
last two weeks, arrivals from eastern
States have been fewer than any time
since December, while almost every
day has seen another steamship added
to the Alaskan fleet. The steamship
Cleveland is tied up at Tacoma, the
business offering being insufficient to
warrant sending her out. The steam
ship Australia, which sailed Thursday,
had only one hundred passengers from
Tacoma to Seattle though she can car
nv six hundred. Her freight was like
wise light. The falling off in travel is
attributed to the discouraging reports
from the trails.

The Spanish government was nysti-
fed not long ago by the remarkable
sale Of General Wey1er's picture. The
mystery has been explained, however,
BY an ingenious official, who procured
one Of the pictures, and on applying a
wet sponge to the surface, found that
the colors and features quickly disap-
apeared, and in their place were seen
the heavy head, full beard and piercing
eyes of Don Carlos, the Spanish pre-
tender.

One of the most absurd fads of tho
cigar trade is that of color in reference
to havanas. Theidea prevails that color
is indicative of strength. 1t is no such
thing a light or medium colored cigar
is not necessarily mild or medium in
flavor, for the simple reason that tho
color refers to the outside wrapper only,
which in itself is of very thin substance,
and in quantity is of very small proper
ton to tho other materials that make
up the cigar As a matter of fact, the
filters and bunch wrappers will deter
mine the body or strength Of the cigar.
The actual strength or otherwise Of the
inner body of the cigar-viz, filters and
bunch wrappers-is too often an un-
known quantity. 1t is quite true that
a statement may be made that these
parts are so-and-so or a mixture Of this
and that and give a certain ash, ETC.,
but this explains nothing. Net only are
there various grades Of the same tobacco
in relation to quality, but there are also
a variety Of grades that determine
strength. With the exception that GER
tain tobaccos have varying degrees Of
body or otherwise, a mild, medium or
full cigar is largely a matter of chance

His Idea Of Scoring.

At a country cricket match in Lanark-
shire local farmers boy was appoint
ed scorer, his duties being carefully ex-
planned to him. The first inning was
not very productive Of runs and soon
came to an end, and every one made a
rush for the scorer. Judge Of their sur
prise, however, when they found that
not a single mark had been made in the
carefully ruled book that had been pro-
vided.
When reproaohed in somewhat strong
terms the boy was not in the least dis
concerted, but, with the most ingenious
air in the world, said:
