sheathed hard pine with rafters overhead and

her Lares and Penates Their most appropri-
ate place is in the kitchen, she says, for here is
the IRE where the priestess of

walls in designs as artistic as the works of art
in lady's beudoir. Each article has place in
the most convenient nook, and the whole room
is model of laporsaving inventions and neat,
orderly housekeeping. while here and there
crops out poetcal fancy old New England

sMUGGLED IN THE BUsTLE.
A Matter Which Keeps Custom
House IRSnectreSSeS Eery Busy

Fair woman and the carrying capacity
of her hustle when she comes home
from Europe are making the customs
officers old before their time. From the
heads of departments to the inspectors
on the piers there are premature gray
hairs to he laid to the bustles. Their
size, their peculiar construction. and the
fact that when skillfully packed thew
will hold nearly as much us a steamer
trunk without becoming unduIy osten-
tatiouS, as far as masculine perceptions
are concerned, combine to tempt scores
of maids and matronS into an effort to
evade the payment of duties, says the
New York Times.
Deputy Collector McClelland, who gets
the statements of the offenders when
they make any, says it is beginning to
look as if more freight was being carried
in bustleS than the ocean steamers bring
in the rest of their cargo. They are
about driving me crazy" is MIR. McClel-

The thing will have to be stopped, that's

more than that of the inspectors while
the big hustle fashion lasts"
One of the cases reported was that of
Fraulein Charlotte Weinmann, pas
senger on the steamer Trave, from Bre-
men. A search of her person revealed
two meerschaum pipe-bowls, fourteen
yards Of silk, thirteen yards Of velvet
and thirteen yards of satin. In her
trunks were discovered three silk
shawls, sixteen yards of silk, half a
dozen tablecloths and as many napkins,
fifty yards of linen. six and three-fOurths
yards of bingham, seven yards of cot
ton dress goods, some cashmere, some
WOODEN dress goods and two pairs of
window curtains. These articles were
hidden among sOiled garments or were
SeWed inside of old dresses. There were
no dutiable goods declared by the pas
Senger.
Another case was that of the Misses
Evans, who crossed the ocean on the
steamer Rheinland. They are reported
to have been found in possession of an
assortment of dutiable goods, silks, vel
vets, lace and trinkets being included
Four dozen knives, done up in a tray
cling rug, are at the seizure room. They
were owned by voyager named Platt,
and were captured. the customs officers
say, as they were being taken from the
pier. The owner of the knives says
that he fully expected to pay duty on
them.

Gambling in France.



1t appears, according to the circular
sent to the projects of departments in
which seaside resorts are situated. that
gambling is actually tolerated for the
benefit of certain establishments. A
day or two ago a young man came up to
Paris from the country, and was fool
enough to go to a gambling hell in the
Rue Caumartin with Well-dressed
scamp, whose acquaintance he had
made casually. When in the place the
uhsophisticated young man was intro
dhced to tall, military-looking person
. with finely pointed mustachios, aud
having what lady nOyeliStS call a dis
tihgue air about him. The military per-
son was given out to be Russian gen.
eral, and he cOndeScended to play with
! the un1edged gambler from the prov
inces, who remained in the hell until
4 the small hours of the morning, and was
I fleeced by the Muscovite to the tune of
964O, e240 of which was paid down in
hard cash, bills being given for
I the remainder The Inflated provin-
ciaI was preparing to return home when
he heard the sounds Of quarreing in an
adjacent room. He listened and heard
. his well-dreSSed friend who had taken
him to the inferno, say to the soi-disant
officer of the car: 'You want to give
me only 200 francs for having brought
you pigeon whom you have plncked;
but want e4o for the job, and intend
to remain here until l got it," OF words
to that effect. The provincial suddenly
had revelation, and, running down
stairs in haste he made for the nearest
police station. There he met an in
spector, who returned with him to the
tripOt, which was cleared of its noe
turnal vultures, including the woman
who kept it. The Muscovite general,
who refused to give up the hard cash he
had won, but was willing to return the
bills, will have to answer, like his ac-
complete, for his deeds, and the pro-
vinciai will have to wait long time for
: his money!

HOBSON'S CHOICE.
An Eccentric Liveryman Who's e
Rules Gave Rise to the Peculiar

~
Rules Gave Rise to the Peculiar
Phrase.
December Wide-Awake
Did you know that this familiar
phrase, 'Hobson's choice" preserves
the memory of very good and useful
man?
Thomas HobsOn was born i'm 1544. He
was for sixty years carrier between
London and Cambridge, conveying
to and from the university let
tiers and packages, also passengers.
In addition to his express business he
had livery stable and let horses to the
university students. He made it a rule
that all the horses should have, ac-
cording to their ability, proper division
of work and rest. They were taken out
in regular order as they stood, begin
ming with the one nearest the door. No
choice was allowed, and il any man re-
fused to take the animal assigned him
he might go without any. That or none.
Hence the phrase, "Hobson's choice"
In the spring of 1880, the plague broke
out in England. The colleges of Cam
bridge were closed, and among the pre-
cautions taken by the authorities to
avoid Infection, HObsOn was forbidden
to go to London.
He died in January, 1851, partly, it is
said, from anxiety and fretting at his
enforced leisure. Hobson was one of
the wealthiest citizens of Cambridge,
and did much for the benefit of the city,
to which he left several legacies. His
death called forth many poems from
members of the university, officers and
students, among them two by the poet
Milton, then student at Christs col
lege.

ABOLISH THE BASEMENT,
Sanitary Objections to the House

Sanitary Objections to the House.
keepers Pest, Cellar Kitchen.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
A we'll ventilated basement is almost
an impOssibility from its low level. and
1t is so difficult to get our ideal condi-
tons perfectly executed, that practically
they are seldom met with. l have seen
great many cases of sickness which
seemed to me due to basement living,
and many cases of tuberculosis which
seemed to have been there developed.
The last is particularly noticeable
among servant girls of foreign
birth. In the experience of ply
sicianS in some sections, 1t is
rare to find servant girl living and
working in low basement who has
good health, though previous to coming
to this country, and being subjected to
such conditions, good health is stated to
be the general rule. Many people have
attacks of sickness, following time Of
exposure III basement, with great reg
ularity. Would it not be better for
house-builderS and architects to plan for
dwellings built more above ground?
More of lot has to be sacrificed, but
perhaps enough may be saved in health
tulness and stair-climbing to compensate
for the loss. City yards are of slight
value at best. A good cellar is gained
by such change, land up stairs dining
rooms and kitchens are not only luXu-
ries, but, it may be argued, almost ne
ceSSitieS.
