Paris.-Two tail fair-headed Brit
ish girls, who gave their names as
Fanny Sodway and Mary Mulldoey,
were yesterday arrested while picking
pockets with the help of a most in
genious device attached to parasol
especially constructed for thieving.
In the handle was string, which
acted on a pair of strong nippers, con-
cealed in the point of the ferrule.
The girls held their parasols under

NIGHT DUEL IN LINCOLN PARK.
Detective and Express Messenger Play
High Tragedy for Citizens.

Detective and Express Messenger Play
High Tragedy for Citizens.
1t sounded like a dress rehearsal of
the battle of San Juan Hill First the
firing was in volleys, but few Sec
onds later both sides held their am
munition In reserve, believing that
with little sharpshooting the other
man would be captured. Just before
the first shot rang out the clocks in
the residences adjacent to Lincoln
Park struck 2.
When the crack of revolvers was
heard faces were pressed against sec
ond-story windows. One aroused citi-
zen telephoned for the police, while
others barricaded themselves to await
an explanation.
Those of the more daring who ven
tured to peep out of the windows could
discern two figures a few feet inside
the park. Both were lying down be-
hind convenient elm trees. Occasion
ally one or the other would fire q shot.
Instantly 1t was answered in kind.
For ten minutes this revolver duel last
ed, and none who witnessed ii could
discern the cause.
With clang the Larrabee street
station patrol wagon turned into North
Clark street on the run. AS it cleared
the corner a shot rang out that indi-
Gated more clearly the scene of the
fight
The driver pulled up at the curb.
Six policemen in uniform scrambled
out. AS they did so both prone fig
ures arose. The police surrounded
them without firing shot. They
were brought out.
Each declared the other to be a
hold-up man. They were taken to a
nearby drug store. One was de-
tective in citizens clothing and the
other was belated express messenger.
The former needed no Identification
The latter, with the aid of the tele-
phone and papers on his person, iden-
titled himself and established the right
to carry revolver. The affair was
settled with a laugh. Now the ex-
press messenger keeps off the park
walk and nearly every night greets his
detective antagonist as he passes
homewards'--Chicags Record-Herald.

TONS OF BRIGHT GEMS.

Tho Worlds Supply of Diamonds
Weighs 100000 Carats.
1t is estimated that the total world
production of diamonds up to date ap-
proximates 5,OOOOO0 carats, says the
Baltimore American. AS we are NOT
in the habit of weighing our diamonds
by the ton, we are in some doubt con-
corning the proper system Of compu-
tation, whether troy or avoirdupois,
long ton or short ton According to
the system used by those who do
weigh their diamonds In ton quaint
ties, the result would be In the neigh
borhood Of twenty or twenty-five tons
of sparklers now appearing as factors
in the joys and miseries Of a world
which has substituted diamonds for
the beads and wampum Of its ances-
tors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage Of their con-
tribution appear as follows: South
Africa, S1.5 per cent; Brazil, IS per
cent, and the remaining 3 per cent
divided among Borneo, India, New
South Wales and British Guiana, with
North America and Russia supplying
specimens. The last two of these
countries have furnished just about
enough to equip an opera box for a
single evening. The deep obligation of
society to South Africa Is fully appar-
ent. The price of diamonds has been
heavily advanced during the last year
or two, but 1t is simply appalling to
think what the price would have been
without the South African supply. So
ciety, American, English and continent
al. should daily thank heaven for Kim
berley and Jagersfontein.
We are unable to give the cubic
measurement of the total collection,
but, so far as weight is concerned, II
would make load for a medium-sized
freight car.

TIRZAH'S CHIMNEY.

" I'VE years before, when Solomon
Green had asked Tirzah Hitch
90 cock to become the second Mrs.
Green, she had tartly refused the hon

had told him, "but no warmed-over af-
lection fur me, thank you, Solomon
Green"
Solomon had reasoned all in vain.
"Why, Tirzah." he pleaded, at amt

alone. Every mornin' your chimbly is

I'd be scared 30 death thinkin' you was

"Whats the us in us keepin' UP

as well?'
Since that time the two had hardly
exchanged a dozen words. Solomon
had not married, neither had T1rzah.
and now, on the night before her for
tieth birthday, she sat looking around
her orderly little home with the most
desolate feeling at her heart she had
known for years.
Tomorrow would be her birthday.
Mechanically she had gone through a
few preparations for that rather du-
bious festival. The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
roasting inside the same pan In which
her hens had been roasted for the last
fifteen years. A green apple pie sat
on the pantry shelf beside a sour cream
spice cake, while plate of mealy tarts
was waiting patiently the filling of
grape jelly to be theirs on the NOR
row.
Never before, at that season of the
year, had Tirzah's hens been laying
30 well.
Her cow had never been known to
give so large a yield of milk. There
were three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her ca
nary bird was the loudest singer in al
the village But for all this Tirzat
was not satisfied.
She had heard that day that the
widowed cousin, who usually KEEP
house for Solomon Green, had unex
pectedly married.
OF course, this was nothing to Tir
gah, but still-here she shifted two Of
three times, and then, without a par

cat, who had come forth demanding
her allowance of milk, sat down in hel

1t will be seen that in 1880, while
DO per cent of those employed were en-
gagged in agriculture only 81 per cent
were engaged in trade and transpor-
tation, manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits, but that in 1900 less than 36
per cent were engaged in agriculture,
while almost Al per cent were engaged
in manufacturing and commerce.
This does not, of course, indicate the
extinction of agriculture. 1t merely
indicates a change in its relative i'm
portance. The number of persons ac-
tually engaged in agriculture increased
between 1880 and 1900 from 7,714000
to 10,3S2, 900 and the number is likely
to Increase for many years, especially
If our vast irrigable domain is thrown
open to settlement and is settled by
bona fine homeseekers With the
growth in the commercial and indus
trial population there is bound to be a
growth in the number of those en-
gagged in the business Of growing their
food supply. In a country such as this,
with its broad areas of fertile land
available for industry, and with its
vast resources of the raw material OF
industry and Of manufacturing power,
agriculture Is bound to demand the
services of more and more men. To
make this clear 1t Is sufficient to say
that In 1880 there were engaged In
commerce and the mechanical indus
tries 2,25O,OOO persons, who were fed
by the labors of 7,714,OOO agriculture
lists, while in 1900 there were engaged
in commerce and the mechanical in
dustries 1852, 900 persons, who were
fed by the labors of 0,3S2, 600 persons.
While it Is still true that agriculture
Is, and for many years is likely to re-
main, the foundation industry on
which rests the prosperity Of the
whole country, such a change in the
distribution Of occupations as that
which has occurred since 1880 Is Of
great social and political as well as
Of economic significance. 1t is reflect
ed In the growth of cities, in the rise
Of problems of municipal government
now undergoing investigation and so
luton and in tha ferment of labor and
capital. 1t has had and is likely to
have political effects of far-reaching
Importance affecting our internal poll
cies and our foreign relatons.-St.

In a few moments a cheerful fire
was roaring up the chimney. To be
sure, there were more chips on the
floor than Miss TirDah would have scat
tered In a twelvemonth, and the cat
was splitting out her Indignation in
a remote corner over an injury done
her sleek tail by the heavy boot of
Miss Tirzahs new fireman.
Tirzah, however, noticed neither the
chips nor the anger of her cat. Not
redder than her cheeks was the blaz-
ing fire, for Solomon had taken cour-
age and was sitting beside her, inquir-

guiltily about.
A thought intruded itself upon her
which she considered in the light OF
a secret crime. Over and over again.
despite herself. she rehearsed Solo
mon's's proposal; each word as 1t had
been spoken, until, suddenly, like the
handwriting upon the wall, there stood
forth these words: Every morning
your chimbly is the first thing 1 look
at"
Had he meant 1t? Did he still turn
his eyes with the coming of the morn
ing light down the little hill which lay
between them? Did her lonely chin
ney still claim his thoughtful care?
Five minutes later the dark plot was
formed, and Miss Tirzah was hurrying
about her preparations for the night
with cheeks that burned with fires she
had thought long since gone out for
ever.
The following morning more aston
ished creatures there could not be than
were the kittens, cat, COW, hens and
canary of Miss Tirzah Hitchcock.
Something, certainly, had gone wrong.
Six O'clock came, and the stable door
was not opened by the brisk mistress.
Half-past six, and still no fire in the
kitchen stove. Seven o'clock, and no
breakfast yet for the mistress and her
indignant dependents.
Loud and angry rose the protest of
Brindle from her snug stall, while the
old cat and canary did their best to stir
things up inside.
/ Meanwhile, hidden by the parlor cur
tains, crouched Miss Tirzah, wrapped
in huge red and green shawl, her
heart fiuttering between shame and
dread, while her eyes watched with
fevered anxiety the house just up the
hill.
Oh, how pitifully foolish now looked
her deep-laid scheme, when faced in
the broad light of day.
| OF course, he had forgotten, years
ago, to watch her chimney. What
was 1t to him now, whether she had a
fire or not? She would go this very
minute and build it. She
Why, what was that? Some one

door, Some one-why, 1t was Solomon
himself, creeping forth as If he had
Just been engaged in stealing his own
spoons and was now making of with
them to a place of hiding.
Where was he going?
The heart of Tlrzah stood still for
one long and nerve-destroying second
then it went on again with such ham
merlng and commotion beneath the red
and green shawl that a less plucky
woman would have fed for the cam
phor bottle on the instant.

straight toward her tiny home. Com

HUMOR IN TEXT OF cLEAaX.
Amusing Remarks Which Were Most
Seriously Intended.

Part Of the humor which one Occa'
sionally meet' with, even In the Sedate
Enclosure of the pulpit. IS due to tbs
queer texts which are sometimes--of,
ten unconsciously-c by preach
ers No doubt there are many stories
told under this head which owe their
origin not to actual 1act so much as
to the invention Of the wag. For ex-
ample, a minister on The Sunday be-
fore his marriage Is said to have chos-
en- as his text, And he went on his
way rejoicing" and on the Sunday
after his honeymoon to have eloquent
ly discoursed on the words, Remember
my bonds"
These instances are, probably, apoc-
ryphal, but the following are true and
have all come within tas experience OF
the writer. 1t was in he north of En-
gland that the first incident happened
1t was a country church where oil
lamps were used instead OF gas. One
night in the late summer when the
lamps had not yet been resumed after
the long days it got suddenly overcast
and before the sermon it was deemet
necessary to light the pulpit lamp
During the hymn, the old sexton re-
paired to the pulpit, and, having cleaned
the glass chimney with ii duseS, lit i
up, but only a feeble hight struggled
through. And then the clergyman took
his text, which was this: And now

turn This was obviously uninten
tional.
There Is church in one of our larg.
cities which boasts of very high pull
pit. A short time ago a strange preach
er who was of a nervous temperament
occupied" this pulpit, but as the ser
quel will show, only for very shoE
time, for, having taken his text ane
said about a dozen words, he startled
the congregation by saying: "As l an
not used to pulpits as high as this you
will pardon me, l know, If l come
down and preach my sermon from the
lectern." He suited his action to the
words and preached very good SER
mon from the modest lectern. And
this was his strangely appropriate text:
He that exalteth himself shall be
abused, and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted"
One more instance; Not many
months ago a clergyman preached One
Sunday evening from the text, my
words shall not pass away" Exactly
fortnight later the same clergyman
preached the same sermon from the
same text in the same church. to thu
wonderment of practically the same
congregation. Evidently 1t was his
determination that at any rate ht
words should not pass away from the
memory of his hearers.
