FRAUDS on the revenue by means of
smuggling and the misrepresentation of
perishable goods so as to obtain a rebate
of duty, are extensively practiced on the
New York Custom House. The fact that
Reformer Robertson is at the head of that
institution does not appear to discourage
the swindlers in the least.
A notable case in point is the diamond
smuggling of the great jewelry firm of
Eugene Jaccard & Co., of st. Louis.
Their buyer in Europe is Eugene
Kuendet, member of the firm and
nephew of its head. Mr.. Kuendet ON his
return from Europe brought with him
number of valuable diamonds ON which he
thoughtfully evaded paying the duty.
When the case had been thoroughly worked
up against him Mr.. Kuendet kindly
confessed his guilt and said that he had only
intended to surreptitiously introduce
enough diamonds into this land of the free
and home of the brave to pay the expenses
of his trip, which amounted to some $780,
From this we gather that Mr.. Kuendet is
a careful business man. When cornered he
showed his sagacity by at once drawing his
check for the amount Of unpaid duty, some
500, together with the penalties and costs,
in all about $1,000. This convinces us that
Mr., Kuendet had reckoned without his
host, so to speak. At the same same it
doubtless convinced that astute citizen of
the Mississippi Valley that honesty is the
best policy.
Another case is where cargo of potatoes
was imported from Glasgow by an enter
prising Brooklyn firm, who claimed that
the potatoes were badly damaged and oh.
tanned rebate of so per cent. Not salts
fled with this they had the rebate warrant
stolen from the files in the Custom House
and altered so as to make it appear that the
potatoes were total loss, and that rebate
was granted of the entire amount of duties
paid on them. Now comes dealer at
Fultonville, N. Y, who swears that he
bought this cargo Of potatoes and paid
nearly the market price of good potatoes
These attempts to cheat the revenue will
no doubt continue until the millennium
when universal free trade will prevail.

CoMMANDANT ALFRED AYLwARD, late of
the statiof General Joubert, the Boer leader
in the war between the Transvaal Republic
and Great Britain, relates this incident of
the fervid religious character of the Beers:
"An instance of the genuineness Of the Boer
religious spirit, and one Of the most unmis-
taxable sort" he said, "was furnished after
the fall OF General Sir George Colley at Ma
jubs, on the 9th OF February, 1851. The
British were at p. m. mobbed, hussars and
Infantry, fugltlves of all ranks, rushing from
the battlefield. This was In the valley at the
foot Of the mountain, from which the main
body had been pushed at o'clock. The Eng
Iish guns had been turned, through some
fatality, on their own flying column, when
General Smith, the Boer leader at that point,
suddenly ordered his victorious troopers to
cease firing. shoot no moro! You must not
shoot moren he shouted along his whole front.
To-day is Sunday, and blood enough has been
she'd This is true, strictly and literally
true; and 1t is TO the religious scrupuloslty
and exaggerated humanity of the Boer officers
and men that the British soldiers who got
away on that day may attribute their preser-
walton from death. II we had been turned
do not think any scruple Of conscience on the
part OF the British would have arisen to check
the pursuit or even to stay the hand Of mas
sacre."

The Newspaper of the Future.

A daily paper is now merely huge
conference.-the sheet folded in four,
and it is only the universal and I'm.
quenchable thirst for news that makes
its existence tolerated in its present un.
handy form. Imagine what joy there
would be if, some fine morning, one of
the leading dailies suddenly changed
its form and emerged as large quarto,
say about the size of "Cassell's Maya.
zine of Art" with largely increased
number ofstilched and ready-cut pages.
Modern American ingenuity is quite
capable of producing paper in this
form complete as to printing, folding,
stitching-or FASTING, but stitching
would be better-and trimming the
edges before leaving the machine.
What a luxury such paper would be,
and who would buy any more counter
panes?

A Wise Caution.

just at this season of the year, when
the air begins to seem warm as COM

phere, great many people remove at
once the heavy Aannels they have
been wearing all winter, and always
with disastrous results. Whoever
does 60 will be pretty sure to put them
on again; after being laid up with a
severe cold, influenza or rheumatism.
Children especially, although the same
applies to older people, should be kept
in their winter AanneIs until the
weather has become settled and warm.
The surface Of their bodies has been
made tender by winter wrappings and
even when warm weather comes the
change should be gradual, garment by

clothing to thin is always unsafe; it is
the best way to put on lighter fannels
for month or so after the heavy ones
are removed. Spring brings a great

Handling Ewes.

Some Of the ews do not come to their
milk for a few days after lambing.
We use bottle with rubber nipple
for the lambs, and feed them on warm
cows milk until they get large enough
to steal from the other ews (Which
they soon do.) Feed literally with
shelled oats and bran, or shipstuff,
with the addition of a little oil,meal
which is worth sd TO $22 per ton.
DO not be afraid to feed, for it will pay
three-fold; 1st. In the carcass and
fleece of the eve. 2nd. In the size and
fleece of the lamb. Sd. By having
something you are proud of. Be kind
to your sheep-talk to them, call them
to you and give them a little salt or a
few grains of corn; they will soon
learn to come as far as they can hear
your voice, or even see you. Before
the grass starts get the sheep up and
with pair of sharp shears take off all
the wool that is liable to get spoiled
which can be washed and sold, but if
left on will be entirely lost, and dam
age to the sheep; and as soon as warm
weather comes the flies are liable to
strike those dirty ones, and the sheep
die before you are aware anything is
wrong with them.

Evaporation of Fruits.

Scientific American: The following
by Amos Stauffer, of Wanesboro, Pa.
was read before the third National Ag.
ricultural Convention, Chicago, Deem.
Der, 1882:
The best method of increasing the
value of our domestic fruits, as | CON-
prehend it, consists in familiarizing our
farming community with the simplicity
and cheapness of the evaporating pro
cess, and convincing them that it is a
legitimate, profitable, and easy adjunct
of farm or household labor.
Evaporated fruit is worth from 200
to 400 per cent. advance over the same
fruit sun or oven dried, the labor of
preparing the fruit (Which is the great
est item) being the same in both cases.
The actual cost per pound of finished
product, without regard to quality or
value when prepared, Is about the same.
Briefly stated, our farmers wives,
sons, and daughters now exchange the
product of our orchards, with their la
Dor added, at discount of from 90 to
400 per cent below the product of the
less intelligent colored laborer in the
tropics. At the village store or ware.
houses of the metropolis of the West
the unequal exchange is daily made;
two or three pounds of dried apples 90
for one of figs, dates, currants, raisins.
or prunes, while our dried peach in ex.
change is scarcely at par. That our
domestic fruits in themselves are supe.
rior to those Of the antipodes needs no
further argument than comparison of
daily quotations between our evapora-
ted fruits and those offered by the trop.
les. Every pound of evaporated APP
piles offered has a value in Chicago
equal to about two pounds of tropical
dried fruits, while evaporated peaches
readily command from three to four
pounds of currants, figs, dates, raisins,
or prunes, etc., thus practically revers-
ing old customs and values.

In the selection of thoroughbreds and

quite a consideration, in fact of the
most Importance. In the selection of
draft and farm horses this quality is
not perhaps so closely looked after, vet
it is just as essential. 1t is true there
may not be such critical moments in the
performance of the draft horse as there
often are in the work OF trotter or

are at stake; but the horse that has
