TRICKS OF
How the Custom Laws Are Evaded by
Sailors and Their Officers.

Smuggling as a profitable pursuit is not
carried on in this vicinity at the present
time to any very great extent. Yet the
legitimate practice is by no means wholly
extinct. The effective customs force
which now exists doer not permit of any
very extensive evasion of the law; but of
course the inspectors are not able to
prevent thousands of cases of smuggling
of a comparatively insignificant nature.
Smuggling as now carried on is almost
wholly confined to sailors on merchant
ships, both steam and sail, and the big
ocean liners offer peculiar advantages for
various little evasions of the customs law.
The officers Of these steamers themselves
are by no means above a little private
work in this line, and while perhaps few
Of them avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity for gain, they might do so if they
wished, with but slight prospects Of dis
covery.
Sailors coming from the West Indies,
Manila or other places from which to-
bacco is imp orted frequently do a little
smuggling with a view to making a few
dollars. In most of these places peddlers
visit the shops while they are lying in
port, with tobacco and cigars in any
quantity, and the sailor, if he has any
money and is of a speculative turn, will
buy a few boxes to bring home with
him These neatly slowed away in his
chest, his clothing stored in n or two
canvas bags, will easily pass the custom
house officers, as these officers, unlike
England and other European countries,
seldom go to the trouble of inspecting
the personal effects of the sailors. Most
sailors, however, after they have got
their goods safely on shore, either do not
know how or can not dispose of them,
and the consequence is that not they, but
some other party, generally the board
ing master, performs the work Of selling
the ~smuggled goods. He also takes good
care to get the greater part of the cash
for which they are sold. Recently it has
become difficult for a sailor to dispose Of
struggled property for the reason that he
is not well enough known by the pur-
chaser to be trusted. Under these con
ditions he is obliged to either give the
articles away, or let the boarding-master
act as negotiator. In the latter case the
boarding-master, having the. advantage of
friendship with those who are in the
habit of dealing in such goods, can secure
good prices, of which he, of course, re-
ceives the lions share.

HOW TO DRESS CHILDREN.

The material pride that prompts all
mothers to dress their children as well as
possible under adverse circumstances, says
a sensible writer in The Ladies' Home
Journal also induces them to spend
many an our over their clothes
without begrudging either the labor
or time. Fortunately, the most
appropriately dressed girls are the
plainest clothed, Just at present; but,
by being plain in style, it does not follow
that the little frock is not to be of a dainty
material taStefully made and in a becom-
color upon a sad-faced child; neither
have all around sashes on a stout little
figure, which requires tapering effects. A
little thought will soon settle this part Of
the part Of the task, which is the simplest.
Blouse suits Of the cottons initiating fan
mel; lawn-tenniS flannel, which is part
cotton; and all wool blue-and-white fan
mel, and seage are the most comfortable
Of play dresses, and for little ones at the
seaside nothing can replace them. If
trimmed in any manner let it be with
cotton or wooden braid, according to the
material of the dress. Sew the gathered
skirt, which is amply full and hemmed,
to a silesia underwaist, and have a sailor
blouse, with the regular sailor collar and
Goa or shirt sleeves, with a round neck
or a tiny band as preferred. Misses wear
the blouse suits made in a similar style,
and their half worn skirts may be entirely
WORKOUT with two or three odd blouSes
made in this fashion, or, as belted waists
of wash surah or striped tennis flannel.
Nainscok for guimpes may be had
ready tucked, or the white embroidery
can be used. Separate guimpes are
advocated, as they are easier to wash.
White frocks are of plain nainsook or
embroidered founcing, p inches wide.
Those of last season may be remodeled
by adding a waist-belt of insertion, vest
of the same and revers of edging over a
tucked guimpe. If the skirt is toe short,
lengthen it with a row of insertion let in.
Plaid and striped ginghams are always
neat with accessories of embroidery, and
small figured sateens are frequently made
over for little ones and worn with the
inevitable guimpe, which is called an
"American idea," though it originated in
France.
Any dress to be made over for a young
girl can have new sleeves, yoke and skirt
border Of tartan plaid wooden goods, cut
bias. This may be used for any plain,
dark wooden goods, and if the renovated
dress is of striped material, the extra
portions added are of plain cashmere.
Their sleeves are full, collars high, or
pleated and turned. over, and the skirts
are usually full and gathered. Round
waists, jacket bodices and pointed basques
having full fronts, are worn by young
girls, with full vests, girdles, hair-belts
and cuffs similar to those worn by older
girls. The only silk addition made to
their t~oilettes is of surah or India silk in
small figures.

means of the ocean lines, a good traffic,
yielding considerable profit, might be
worked up, members of the crews being
employed as mediums in bringing the
goods over. One favorite way of defeat
ing the customs laws, and one which is
pracuced to quite a large extent, is the
purchasing Of clothing in England by
persons residing here, through the agency
of an. officer or sailor on one of the steam
ers. A person wishing to avail himself
of the good quality and cheap prices of
English goods will go to a member of
the crew with measurements for suit of
clothes. The latter takes the measures
and money to an English tailor on his
arrival, and the clothes are ready by the
time the ship is about to sail on her return
trip. Ii the customs officials look about
the cabin at all it is easy to deceive them
by claiming that the clothing is intended
for his W use. Then placing the cloth
ing over a suit of his own the medium
walks on shore, delivers them to the
owner and receives his compensation.
Thus the purchasers save from 80 to so
per cent. On the cost of the articles. NJ
merOus other articles are brought over in
the same way, and some Of them engaged
make quite a remunerative business out
of lt.-BOStOn advertiser.

HOW A N. c. GIRL SCOOPED IN A
WESTERNER AT LONG
RANGE.

A letter from Scotland Neck, N. C., to
the Richmond dispatch says: GA re-
markable marriage occurred near Lewis
ton a few days ago. Some two years
ago a quartermaster in the United States
army at Fort Riley, Kan, advertised for
a female correspondent with a view to
matrimony. A young lady in BERTHE
county named Eliza Drew jokingly answ-
cred the advertisement. She could not
read nor write, but some friend wrote for
her. Her ~letteres was answered, photo
graphs were exchanged, and it is said
that $50 letters were exchanged. The
young lady was poor, had worked in the
field, cooked and washed all her life, is
not good looking, weighs 220 pounds,
and wears a No. 8 shoe. She wrote the
yourg army officer all these facts, but to
the surprise of everybody he came a short
time ago with plenty Of money, stayed a
few days at the girls house, gave her
money to dress herself up, and married
her. He took her off on a bridal tour to
Washington city. He says he will show
her something of the world, bring her
back to see her parents, and then take
her to Kansas"

COSTLY CANDOR.

A story is told of Congressman Taul-
bee, of Kentucky, who vas shot lately by
Charles Kincaid in Washington City, that
contains considerable humor. An old
colored man called Uncle Eph had lived
in the Taubee family many years and was
considered an honest and faithful old ser
want. After the election for Congress-
man, Taulbee having been a candidate, he
was tainted by some of his opponents
with the statement that Uncle Eph had
voted against him. Loath to believe it,
he called old Eph into his room and said:
Uncle Eph, is it true that you voted
against me at the election p
ayes, Massa William" replied Eph;
81 voted de Publican ticket"
We'll" said Taulbee, "Ilike frank
ness, and here's a dollar for your candor.'
The old colored man stood scratching
his head, when Taulbee asked:
"Well, Eph, what is it ?"
"Wen, Massa Taulbee," said Eph, if
you is buying candor you owes me TO-
dollors mo-, kase I voted agin We FIVE

THE PRoD1GAL DAUGHTER.

To the home of his father returning
The Prodigal, weary and worn,
Ia greeted with Joy aud thanksgiving
"A when on his first natal morn;
. rob. I" and a ring is his portion
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his p~enitent vow.
Rut ahl fer the Prodigal Daughter,
who has wandered way from her home
Her feet must still press the dark valley,
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone, on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains so dreaTy and cold
No hand is outstretChed in offered pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and cen the fOrsaken,
He bears in his bosom Away;
And in the bright mansions of glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
As we'll as the Prodigal Son.
