A Novel Use for Soap.

"Smugglers must lie awake nights try
ing to evolve new schemes to evade the
payments of duties" said a Custom-house
official recently. At least | imagine
they must from the number of new schemes
am constantly obliged to be on the look
out for. No sooner do we begin to watch
made by European shoe-makers to accom-
modate the diamond smugglers, than we
have to keep our eyes open to detect the
woman with bonnetful of jewelry. We
seize enough, heaven knows, but not a
fiftieth part of the contraband goods
brought into this country are ever detect
ed. The articles which seem to be the
most favored by the smugglers are dia-
monds, jewelry and watches, although silks
and costly dress goods are by no means de-
spised. Diamonds, however, hold first
rank, because of their portability and the
small space which they occupy. Search
in the most unlikely places has often re-
vealed mine of wealth. Only few days
ago in the travelling bag of tourist Just
arrived was very innocent looking piece
of toilet soap, which would never have
been given second glance by the Inspect

iety displayed by the owner of the bag to
get it back. Almost ashamed of himself,
the officer pulled out his pocket-knife and
attempted to pierce that cake of soap.
The travellers jaw fell and the officers
knife blade met an obstruction at about
the same time. There were Just $4,000
worth of rubies and diamonds inside of that
partly-used cake. "-Je1pellers Weekty.

might naturally be expected; that the
excess of salt prevented the active
development of the fat globules, while the
milk secretion was actively going on.
Accepting that explanation, while it
might be expected that the result indi-
Gated would at first follow from sudden
and rather violent change in the matter
of sailing, if the feed remained the same
and from which would be secreted nor
NAL quantity of fatty substance, from dim
inished activity at first it would be reas-
enable to suppose that after little time
the extent of the secretion would be re-
stored to its original state and the cream
produced be brought to its uniform ratio
to the entire milk product. 1t is, in our
mind, a more rational conclusion to come
to to attribute an increased flow of milk
to an increased amount of water drank,
while the fifty secretion remains constant,
which in case of cows in prime condition
is believed to be a rule. Weshould hardly
believe that sailing fully woul1 have any

L CASTLE IN THE AIR.

The mansion they erected
Erected were of brick,
And were with tiles protected:
The air with dust was thick,
AS 'tw0uld the builders smother
They built on unaware.
/ dreamed of something other.
A castle in the air
/ said: "Your bricks and mortar
Are hideous to view;
I'll seek another quarter,
That shall be free from you:
more imposing dwelling
You shall see, if you care,
A palace far excelling-
castle in the air"
They guarded from disaster
Their roofs with wooden beams;
They fixed their walls with plaster
l fixed my walls with dreams.
A dome of high expansion.
Alight with jewels rare
That was real mansion
My castle in the air.
They never were contented,
They fought with spades and tools;
They said l was demented,
l said that they were fools.
! built on in my manner,
They hardly turned to stare:
crowned with many banner
My castle in the air
When ended were their labors
They entered in to feast,
They called their friends and neighbors;
The wind blew from the East
To them it did not matter,
The gale their walls would spare;
1t only chose to shatter
My castle in the air.
And now the shadows darken,
The wind blows through the rain,
Whereto the bui ders hearken,
Who safe at home remain,
In piles of brick undoubted;
Yet mine was far more fair,
My palace that they secuted,
My castle in the airl

Excessive Sailing.

A singular fact was brought out at re-
cent meeting of the Connecticut State
Board of Agriculture. A gentleman stated
that he gave his cows quantity of salt
with a view to increasing the milk pro-
duction, as he had seen it stated that such
would be the result; he was not disap-
pointed the increase of milk was quite
marked, but the singular feature of the
trial was that while the milk yield was in
creased the cream yield was proportion
ately decreased; that is, the ratio Of cream
to the milk was decreased as the Quantity
of milk increased, and upon an abandon
ment of sailing this ratio was restored.
This is matter of some consequence to
dairymen who are interested only in the
production of milk, but where cream is de-
sired 1t seems that excessive sailing acts
against the production of cream. DR..
Cressey stated that this was a. result that

The sweetest Girl in School.

She's the sweetest girl in schooll" en-
Enthusiastically exclaimed one young miss to
another, as they passed down the street to-
gether. Edith is so kind. and gentle, and
unsel6sh, every one likes her. And she
has lovely golden hair and pretty eyes:
Isn't it q pity her complexion is so bad; it
spoils her looks. And then she has such
dreadful headaches" The girls skipped
along. but it happened Ediths mother
heard what they said. 1t set her thinking
What could be done for those headaches
and the rough, muddy complexion, that
was such a trial to her gentle daughter
She recalled what she had read of DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, and on
the spur of the moment he slipped into o
drug store and bought supply. Edith
took it faithfully, with the result that it
cleared her disordered blood, relieved the
headaches, made her skin soft, fair and
rosy, and now she is not only the sweetest
girl IN school" but the most beautiful

between the forces under Generals Taylor
and Santa Ana The result of that battle |
was largely due to the almost impregnable |
position selected by Taylor in the Angos-
tura Pass, where Santa Ana could use
rive much benefit from the great nu-
merical superiority of his infantry. At
all events 5000 Americans sent 10000
MexIcans flying southwark, so thoroughly
whipped that the whole northern province
remained in the possession of Uncle Sam.
Aqua Nueva ('new water" J, the village in
which the American army was encamped
at the approach of Santa Ana, lies at the
upper end of a lovely valley called La En-
cantada-" the enchanted vale"
About 275 miles north of San Luis is
Monterey, in the State of Nuevo Leon
the most important and by all odds the
most beautiful city of Northern Mexico
The intervening country is remarkably dry
and sterile, well described by recent ira
Weller as dusty, monotonous. covered with
cacti, aloes and yucca-yucca, aloes and
cacti. 1t is exclusively given up to vast,
scantily cultivated haciendas, with infre-
quent towns and ranches. In the main it
is wretched aud thinly populated region,
so dry that wells and water-tanks are OBJ
jects of as much solicitude as an oasis in
the desert, and give their names to the
hamlets that spring up around them.
Not great way from Monterey-eigh-
teen miles northeast of Lampazos, is the
far-famed Carthusian Table, one of the
greatest natural curiosities on the CONT
nent. 1t is table-land, ], 400 feet high
and $500 above the sea level The figure
of the table-land is almost perfect cres-
cent, running east and west, and on its
summit is more than $4,000 acres of per-
fectly level land, Astounding in running
water. The only way TO reach the top is
by perilous road, five feet wide and
three miles long. This irregular noun
tain was named for the Carthusian Monks
by former tribe of Indians, who occupied
it, and were taught by the fathers. In
the year 1895 a Sergeant in the Spanish
army learned the secret of its existence,
and the King of Spain gave him title to
the whole thing. 1t is now owned as a
summer retreat by Senior Don Patricia
Melmo, the rich banker of Monterey
lucky lrishman who in his native land
was known as plain Pat MulIens. This
little Carthusian ex-kingdom is remark
ably productive, Astounding in rich pas
turage, cedar, oak and other timber
Just beyond the southern border of San
Luis is the justly celebrated hacienda de
,Jaral, probably the largest in Mexico.
Half century ago its prospector, the
Marquis de Jaral, was reputed the greatest
land owner in the world, and on this one
estate he had 100000 head of live stock.
and slaughtered every year 10000 sheep
and goats. His hospitality was unbounded,
but his oppression of the poor was almost
unbearable. At one time he RACED every
house in village and scattered its inhab-
itants homeless and defenseless, to prevent
them from getting town charter which
would give them possession of the land.
And now we are about to bid adios to
Central Mexico and embark for Yucatan,
sailing across the Gulf from Vera Cruz to
Progreso. FANNIE b. WARD.

Making Cigar Labels.

"The making of cigar labels requires the
greatest photographic skill The design is
first executed in water colors by the artist,
after which it is transferred to specially
prepared Bavarian stones, separate stone
being required for each color. By print
ing different colors on top of each other
the most wonderful and pleasing combna-
tons are produced. Several labels are
printed at time. Only for this the cost
would be enormous, for it is so difficult to
Justify the different parts to the necessary
nicely that large portion has to be cast
aside as imperfect. Each firm has a large
supply of stock labels, to which new de-
signs are constantly being added, so that
when cigar manufacturer gets out a new
brand he can select an appropriate label

ufactures," continued the manufacturer.
employ their own artists, who are kept
busy in getting up new designs, but many
bohemian artists manage TO exc ont an ex-
istence by sketching designs. A good
sketch is often worth 500, while others,
again, bring only SIS. The reason we
prefer to employ our own artists is the re-
suit of the dishonest practice of the Bohe-
mians themselves. When a man got a
good idea he would make several drawings
OF the same design, each varying only in
the minor parts. He would then sell
them to different manufacturers and be
paid several times over for the same de-

BEAR YE ONE ANoTHERS BURDENS
Let us keep, amid earth trials,
Still kind and gentle tone;
IL may smooth some brothers pathway
And will cheer and bless our own.
Sorrows shared are Sorrows lessened,
And our tasks will lighter grow,
If we bear each others burdens
As we journey here below.
Could we know q word of comfort
We might speak beside the way,
Could revive some wayworn traveller,
Would we hoard them day by day?
Itmay seem of little value,
And we may not know while here,
That one kindly deed of ours
Some sad nome has filed with cheer
But when we have reached that country
Fairer than our hearts have known,
We shall see the golden fruitage
Of the seeds our hands have sown.
For behind the deepest shadows
Falls the sunlight full and free,
And beyond these sounds discordant
Floats heavenoorn melody.

The USE OF VINBGAR-Experiments
have shown that even so small a quantity
OF vinegar as one part in 5000 appreciably
dlminishes the action of saliva upon starch.
One part in 1000 renders it very slow, and
twice the latter quantity arrests it alto
gether. From this it is evident, says our
contemporary, that vinegar pickles, salads
and other preparations in which vinegar is
used are unwholesome, especially when
taken with farinaceous food. such as bread
and other preparations.
