Fashionable Smuggling.

There is great deal more of this
fashionable smuggling than wonld gen.
orally be supposed, says New York
letter to the Chicago HsraM. While
it is not all confined to very rich poo
pile, yet tits certain that they do great
deal more than their share of it. The
experience of the officials also bears
out the general impression that it is
almost as natural for woman to snug
gle as it is for her to breathe. 1t is
hard for her to realize that bringing
in bonnets and everything else which
can contribute to her wardrobe whom
ever the chance is pres ented to do SO
without paying duty is not both her
right. and her duty. Consequently the
women inspectors at the Custom House
have a great deal more work to dc
than their fellows among the men.

As anthracite coal has como of late
years to be used moro and moro cxclu-
pively for domestic purposes, it has
grown to be more accurate measure of
the consumption of fuel by the people.
Nobody will be surprised to learn that
the amount of coal used for purposes of
house warming was surprisingly small
during the mild winter of 1889. Yet
the official figures are rather startling.
In 1883. except for tho brief period of
the March blizzard. the country expe-
rieuced little extreme cold; yet the an.
thracite consumption in 1889 fell shor,
of that in 1883 by 3, Ill, 958 tons.
This has been a serious affair for the
coal companies, and all of them have
lost money at their busin ess, but W,
suspect that the people at large will no
complain. The consumer fiads it cx-
tremely difficult to look at these mat
ters from the same point of view as tbs
producer.

It is evident, observes the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, that the Nihilis.s in
Russia are again preparing for some
great stroke such as that which ended
the life of the Car, Alexander II.
There is the same feverish ACTIVITY, the
frequent discov cries of plots and the
desperate acts of those who are caught
No wonder that the Russian police
dread the Nihilists when a young girl
like Sophie Perovs.xi has the nerve to
give the signal for throwing the fatal
bomb that killed the Gar, and another
in Moscow shoots down the chief of the
secret police who came to arrest her,
and then takes her own life. Swift
death by her own hand was far better
fate than exile to Siberia, with the
uameless indignilies to which female
prisoners are subjected.

Tho Heights and the Valley.
He stood in the valley with eager syss
Turned TO the peaks whore the sunshine

Tho Heights and the Valley
He stood in the valley with eager syss
Turned TO the peaks where the sunshine
lay.
30, for the heights that are near the skies,
The glorious heights that are far away"
He CRIED and ever his longing grew
To climb the sleeps till the heights were
won,
And ever q wild unrest broke through
The daily tasks that must be done.
r'It must be lonely on those far heights"
Said the friend he told of his wild desire.
Better the valley Of old delights"
But the heart of the dreamer was all on
fire
With the thought of reaching the hills afar,
And he would not tarry with friends of
old,
But followed the flash of ambitions star,
And climbed up the mountains bleak and
cold.
There were rocky places where feet must
bleed;
lay;
Through nights of darkness and days of
need
Towards the peaks he longed for he took
his way.
And nearer, nearer the peaks Of snow
Each day the climber in rapture drew,
Forgetting the valley that lay below
And the valley friends who were kind and
true.
At last the terrible heights were scaled;
Alone on the desolate peaks stood he.
In the moment of triumph his courage
failed,
And his heart turned valleyward longing
ly.
o, to hear the voices of friends again,
To clasp hand that was warm and true
o, to love and be loved, and to share with
The little joys that the valley knewl
Better the valley with peace and love
Than the desolate heights some souls at
tain.
Lonely is life on the hills above
The valley lands and the sunny plain.
What is fame to love? Can it satisfy
The longing and lonely hearts of men?
On the heights they must hunger and starve
and die.
Come back to the valley of peace again.

I have heard the robins singing
Where the sweet magnolia grown
Ihave seen the zephyrs finging
Twilight kisses to the rose;
But swseter song has filled me
Than the birds Id perfumed bowe,s.
And a softer kiss has thrilled me
Than the south winds on the flowers.
Ihave felt the lilies blowing
Dewy fragrance in the morn;
Ihave seen the sunbeams glaring
Golden blushes on the corn;
But know flower that's fairer
Than the lilies ever grew,
And I love blush that's rarer
Than the sunbeam's softest hue.

Over starlit, silvery seas;
have heard the zephyrs signing
Through the orange-blossomed trees;
But purer ray has blessed me
Than the moonlight on the sands,
And softer sigh caressed me
Than the breath of Tropic lands.
She is fairer than the flowers;
She is sweeter than the rose,
And her heart of kindness showers
Blessings everywhere she goes.

She's an angel from the sky
