SEVEN LADIES
Of One Family Arrested in Pari, for

Of One Family Arrested in Paris for
 KIeptOmsnta.
 Dublin Saturday Herald: A detect i've on duty at the Louvre had his at- tention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of sev- en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up a colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- creted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- diately marched off to the police com missary. That functionary found to his amazement that the troup con- sisted of grandmother, three of her daughters and three granddaughters in comfortable circumstances. 1ne old lady's husband and the husbands of her three daughters were immediately sent for (the youngest ladies of this interesting family are still unmarried), and declared themselves totally ignor- ant of the acts of their wives, who they said made frequent trips to Paris from their home in the suburbs, and often brought home many pretty things; but they assured the commls- sary that they (the husbands) had no notion that these had been come by otherwise than by the usual method of purchase. The commissaire, taking the social position of the "klepto- maniacs" into consideration. has al lowed them their liberty upon heavy bail

MAMMOTH IVORY.

It is likely that African ivory will grow seareer and seareer, and if there were no other source of supply this beautiful material would soon cost so much it would be invaluable. How. ever, the frozen lands of Siberia con- tain an apparently inexhaustfble store of ivory, the product of the mammoth. Vast numbers of these huge and bulky animals are frozen in the ice and snow.
 Mammoth ivory was known to the ancients and for centuries past has been an article of trade and commerce. In 1921 Yakut brought 2,00O pounds of ivory from the New Siberian islands and in the years after many thousand pounds were disposed of.
 Boatloads of tusks have been seen on the Lena and Yenisei rivers. In 1840 Dr. Middendorff visited the coun- try and estimated that the annual out put of Siberian ivory was 10000 pounds, representing 100 mammoths, so that the total number of animals whose remains have been exported since the conquest of Siberia must be between 10000 and 30.000

SHORT SERMONS.

There is nothing that Universalism affirms more positively than the in eyitable and impartial punishment of sinners.-ReY. I. P. Coddington, Uni yersalist, Rochester, N. Y.
 Character is that which makes a noble life; no life is perfect in which God is not the center of it's being, the ruling motive of it's character.-Rev. W H. Carwardine, Methodist, Chicago III.
 That definition of God which de- seribes Him as pure Spirit carries in it the danger that we may lose our selves in speculative contemplation Rev. Dr. Behrends. Congregationalis Brooklyn, N. Y.
 The church that fails to obtain a hearing and impress to noble purposes the people about it is a failure and ought to be reformed or destroysd.- Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, Methodist, San Francisco, Cal.
 1t would be glorious to have one Christian federation. Perhaps in the days that are to come such a Christian federation will be made possible. God speed the day.-Rev. Dr. Eaton, Uni yersalist, New York city.
 Our ideas of property and economics are burdens imposed on us by the dead. Whitman wanted to live with animals, because mot one of them was afflicted with the mania of own ing things. Rev. B. Fay Mills, Evangelist, Boston, Mass
 The church will hold Christ as the sovereign authority. All power is given unto Him. Authority is not in reason, not in the church, not in the Bible, but in the imperial Christ Dr, c. H. Combs, Independent, Kan sas City Mo.
 It is something like blasphemy tc ask God to give to the church the Holy Spirit, which He has already given once and forever. What we want is anointed eyes to see the gift.-Rev F. J. Van Horn, Boston, Mass.
 If we do not keep our souls filled with Gods spirit the devil can enter in and dwell there. We are not con- cerned merely with overcoming evil habits, but in building up active yir- tues.-Rev. Dr. Christian, Episcopa- Han, New York City
 This consciousness of and hunger for immortality are the strongest possible evidences of the fact. The Bible teaches it. The Book of Job is a poem of immortality. The Psalms throb with the hope. The prophets are spokesmen of the other world-Rev. J. F. Carson. Presbyterian, Brooklyn. N. Y.
 Detraetion injures the detracto1 himself, injures the listener, perhaps awakens in it's victim-for sooner or later he will hear of it-sentiments of hatred and revenge that will cause him to detract in turn, or drive him even to the crime of murder.-Rev. Father DuBoise, R. C., San Francisco, Cal

Characteristic of the Czar.

To Nicholas IT. lofty idealism comes natural, but education or intuition has welded it to a rigorous sense of what is practicable and worth striving for, says pr. E. J. Dillon in the Contem- porary Review. He takes an eminent ly human view of all things human, and is firm believer in the wisdom of adjusting means to ends. Hence his sensibility of intellect, his suseeptibil- lty to new impressions and generous impulses, is rendered beneficial or harmless by his tenacious adherence to traditional forms. He is keenly sensible that no one man can grasp all the elements of such complicated machine as the administration of mighty empire, and his relations to- wards his ministers are based upon a frank recognition of this fact. The other day a petition or request of some kind was laid before him for his de- cision. He read it, as usual, very carefully and as usual wrote his reso- lution on the margin. Having glanced at the date of this document, and found that it was some eight months old, the tsar wrote a few words to the effect that it should have reached him long before His father would have probably found out who was to blame for the delay, and would have had warming administered to him on the spot

CARRYING MONEY.

It is amusing to notice the various methods in which men of different na- tionalities carry their worldly wealth. The Englishman carries his change loose in his right hand trousers pocket gold, silver, and copper all mixed up together He pulls a handful of the mixture out of his pocket in large, opulent way and selects the coins he has need of.
 The American carries his "wad of bills' in peculiar, long, narrow poek- etbook, in which the greenbacks lie fiat; the Frenchman makes use of leather purse with no distinguishing characteristics, while the German uses one gayly embroidered in silks by the fair hands of some Lottchen or Nina.
 The ha1f-eivilized capitalist from some torrid South American city car- ries his dollars in belt, with cun- ningly devised pockets to baffle the gentlemen with the light fingers. Some of these belts are very expensive.
 The Italian of the poorer classes ties up his little fortune in a gayly colored handkerchief secured with many knots, which he secrets in some mysterious manner about his clothes. A similar course has charms for the spaniard; while the lower class Rus sian exhibits preference for his boots or the lining of his clothes as a hid- ing place for his savings.

The Power of a Cyclone.

Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone, and the energy required to keep full-fedged hurricane in active operation, reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in compari son. A force fully equal to four hun. dred and seventy-three million horse, power was estimated as developed in West Indian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that is creata- ble by all the means within the range of mans capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, windmills, and the strength of all men and all an- imals combined, they could not at all approach the tremendous force exert ed by this terrible storm.

Soldiers Securing Country.
It is evident by the reference which Gen.
Otis makes to accommodating parties that
he is having the country thoroughly COW
cred and that the information which they
are giving him is the basis of the dispatch
received to-day.
II is believed that desertions will soon
deplete the army of Aguinaldo to little
or nothing. 1t would not take long for
an army of the kind he has gathered to
melt away and disappear in the mountains
