Tricks Of Female smuxrler~.

"Yes," the inspector said, II do
know something Of smugglers' tricks
especially female smugglers, who, /
must say, carry on their nefarious
business with the most charming ef-
frontery. OF course, there are snug
glers OF both sexes, but for cunning,
boldness and determination the women
cannot be approached. Do you know
that women are born cheatsf Oh,
well, 1 mean in this direction. A
woman's dress affords her more facili-
ties for hiding small but costly articles,
and il is far less easy to detect them
than men, and, as the elder Weller
would say, almost impossible 20 cir
cumvent' II takes an experienced
searchcr TO say whether a woman has
got anything concealed about her per
son, and, as we cannot search every
body, some Of the clever ones manage

The Whistle of the Elk.

The whistle of the elk is a sound
which many have tried 10 describe,
yet l doubt If any one who may have
read all the descriptions of it ever
written would recognize it IN a first
hearing. II is n most strange, weird,
peculiar sound, battling all efforts of
the most skillful word painter. II is
only uttered by the male, and there is
the same variety in the sound made by
different stays as in different human
voices. Usually the cry begins and
ends with a sort of grunt, somewhat
like the below of a domestic
COW cut short, but the inter
lude is a long drawn, melodious,
flute like sound that rises and
falls with a rhythmical cadence, float
ing on the still evening air, by which
it is often waited with singular dis
t~inctness TO great distances. By other
individuals, or even by the same indi-
vidual at various times, either the first
or last Of these abrupt sounds is
omitted, and only the other, in con-
necton with the long drawn, silver
toned strain, is given.
The stag uttsrs this call only in the
love making season, and for the pur
pose of ascertaining the whereabouts
Of his dusky mate, who responds by Q
short and utterly unmusical sound,
similar to that with which the male
begins or ends his call-G. O.. Shields

All the higher organisms plead hard

Keep them open a little, or much,

Natural Gas Tha Kills.

There is a peculiar spring near Ash

death to all animated nature. At one
time it was frequented by the Indians
as the great medicinal depository,
where all diseases, no matter how com
plicated, were cured. Lizards, snakes
and frogs die almost Immediately when

In speaking of artificial heat The
Manufacturer and Builder says that it
is a mistake TO suppose that steam heat
is any ''moister" or in any way differ
ent from other kinds. Air warmed by
passing over a steam radiator is in no
way different from that warmed by q
stove or hot air furnace. In fact, the
air is more likely to be impure in q

had not been long in India when a
native lady who owned large estates
sent 10 beg my husband TO pay her a
visit, as she was anxious that he
should take charge of her property,
which was much embarrassed, and
wished 10 discuss the matter with linn.
We dismounted from our elephants in
the court yard of her house, and were
conducted by a magnificent major
domo and n crowd of smaller satel-
lites TO u carpeted veranda, where
chairs placed ready for MS. The
steward then approached, holding in
the palms of his joined hands some
gold coins, which we touched instead
Of royalty taking, as was the generous
custom in less prudish days. But no

and even startled TO hear my husband,
still looking straight before him, be-
gin speaking as if he saw some one.
IL gave me quite a shock, but as he
showed no other sign of sudden in
sanity, | looked around for some eX-
PLANTATION, and then discovered that
our chairs were placed near a kind of
screen called a chik, made Of thin
strips of bamboo, which completely
prevents any one from outside seeing
in, although a person within the room
can see out, and behind this shelter
ing mantle of invisibility sat the lady
and her women. The conversation
was long, and almost wholly unintel-
igible to me, but / gathered that my
husband, having reason to be dis
pleased with the lady's conduct, de-
clined to accept her hospitality in any
way, which, judging from certain clio.
quent sounds that issued from behind
the screen, drew from her tears and
