PORTLAND, Or, May 2S.-The Gus
toms officials last night seized 80 FIVE
tael cans of opium, valued at about
$1,000, in a Chinese wash-house. The
United States inspectors, who had been
watching for smuggled opium, saw
man take the drug into the wash house,
and arrested him. He gave the name
of John Mays, aud it is learned that he
is brakeman on the Northern Pacific
between here and Tacoma. Mays con-
fessed that the opium was bought in
Victoria, B. c., few days ago and
smuggled into the. United States. The
customs authorities claim they have
positive proof that number of the
Northern Pacific employees, together
with several Chinese, are smuggling
large amount of opium into this city.

Stntfsfics as TO Huncbbacls.

Ten years ago a remarkable charac
ter died in Paris. He was known all
over France and the greater part of all
Europe as "The Learned Hunchback.
He was very wealthy, and spent a mint
of money in the last fifty years Of his
life, travelling in all directions making
researches concerning his hunchbacked
brethren. It was in the miider pOr-
tons of Europe that he found the mis-
fortune the most prevalent. Spain
supplied the greater number, and In a
circumscribed locality at the foot Of
the Sierra Moreno he found that there
was one humpbacked person to every
thirteen inhabitants. They were also
found to be quite numerous in the val
lev of the Loire in France. The little
humpbacked statistician came to the
conclusion that there was one hump
back in each one thousand Inhabitants,
or an aggregate Of one million against
the estimated thousand millions Of the
entire earth.
After the death of this eccentric
individual his heirs found In place Of a
VIII a voIuminOus manuscript Of two
thousand pages, all concerning humps.
The last page, although it said nothing
about the disposition Of property, ex-
pressed the authors desire to have a
hump of marble raised over his grave,
with this inscription;
"Here lies a humpback who had g
taste for humps, and who knew more
about them than any other hump

matter of detail the new fashions are
wholly unlike those of a year ago.
Radical changes are not made sudden
". Character is everything in clothes.
The lengths for this spring are differ
ent from those Of last year, and there
is a divergence also in the lines of cut
ting. One of the most pronounced
effects is the straight, dOuble-breasted
sack coat, which promises to be a IA
YOrite with swell dressers. The ma
terial for the coat is, as a rule, cheviOt,
In plain color, such as black, blue,
electric gray, andl other quiet shades.
The lapels are wide and roll low, and
may be faced with silk or not, as the
wearer elects. The coat is worn closed
by three buttons.
A dOuble-breasted vest of the same
material as the coat may be selected,
or a single breasted vest, or one of fancy
material, single or double breasted, ac-
cOrding to taste. The trousers are OF
medium width, and may have a mill
tary stripe of silk down the seam if de-
sired. There is wide play for the ex-
ercise of Individual taste in that re-
gard. Another elegant design is the
straight-frOnt sack suit in striped
cheviOt. There is no rule as to the ex-
act pattern or color of the fabric, blue,
however, being in the lead. The fronts
of the coat are slightly rounded at the
| bottom, and the lapels are of medium
/ fullness. A double row of stitching
runs along the edges Of the coat, and
the bottoms of the sleeves are stitched
/ to match. The pockets are all of the
/ patch order. The trousers, owing to
/ the hghtness of the material, are full.
Next in order as fashionable fad, es-
! pecially for young men, IS the One-but-
/ ton cutaway sack suit. stylish ma
/ terial is a plaid cheviOt, either quiet or
/ loud In pattern, according to the Whim
| of the man who wears it. The coat
opens low, with a low vest, and the
trousers are Of generous dimensions,
but not baggy. The days Of baggy
trousers, by the way, are past,
if not forever, at least for some
time to come. The fronts of the
coat are well cut away, and are
rounded at the bottom. The breast
pocket is finished with a welt,
but the side pockets have flaps, which
are always to be worn on the outside.
The vest to go with this suit should
have a nOtched collar and should open
from fourteen to fifteen inches IT
should also have FIVE buttons. For
men of a sporting turn and for politi-
clans, the suit most appropriate. and
one which the fashion designers have
brought into high state of perfection
this spring, Is the single-breasted froek
or Prince Albert. 1t is fashioned on
graceful lines, and for a man of impOs
ing physique Is one Of the most becOm
Ing imaginable. The COATS essentially
patterned after the dOuble-breaste6

grew more and more intact it was next
to impossible to get any of the drug
through the lines. The demand be-
came so great that orders were sent
out to the different commands to Sc
lect from among their number a few
men Of nerve, ingenuity, and patriot
ism to the Southern cause who could
be depended upon under the most crit
ical circumstances. These men were
to be instructed in the hazardous du-
ties of smuggling quinine, and were to
have the sanction of the Confederate
Government, and the protection, as far
as it could go, of the Confederate
army. They. were to go into the Union
lines as refugees, or in any way deemed
most advisable by them, and werel to
purchase large quantities Of the drug,
and use every means possible to get it
through.
Among the men selected for this
hazardous duty was a young student
Of medicine, who has since that time
become. prominent as one of the best
physicians of the country.
DR.. James Guthrie was born in POca-
hontas County, Virginia, now West
Virginia, and when the war broke out
enlisted in the Confederate army, final

and set out for st. Louis. Mo-. with
credentials hidden about his person.
When he reached st. Louis he slowed
away in safe place several thousand
dollars in gold with which he had been
provided by the Confederate Govern
ment to purchase the drug. Days were
spent about the hospitals by the young
student and acquaintance made with
the officials, until after the lapse of a
few weeks he became to all intents and
appearance a regular assistant Of the
surgeons.
No suspicion of the character of his
business was ever created, and it was
not long before young Guthrie was
able to go about the city purchasing
medicines and drugs ostensibly for use
at the hospitals where so many Union
soldiers lay wounded and sick. Day
after day the young man purchased, first

NOT QUITE RELFNTLFSS
PIuclfng and Shearing Geese.

A curious case came before an En-
gIish court for adjudication recently.
A pouIterer was charged with cruelty
to forty-eight live geese by pluoking
them of their feathers, and the owner
was charged with procuring the COM
mission Of the Offense. The proceed
ings were taken by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A
witness swore that "after the geese
were pIucked their skins turned pur-
pie color, and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked about with their
backs up, and shrank when touched.
The practice was shown by defend
ants to be very prevalent, and the so
ciety asked for a nominal fine to put
stop to it. The defendants said it was
the custom of the district to pluck the
feathers every six weeks, and If they
were stopped from doing so many peO-
pie would discontinue keeping geese,
as much more money was realized by
the sale Of feathers than by the geese
The court imposed a fine Of eighteen
shiIlings upon the defendants, and ex-
pressed the hope that it would be
warning to other people. PluckiDg
live geese and ducks prevails all over
the United States.
There is a species of large water
fowl whose habitat in winter is the
open lakes of the interior. and their
feathers are so firmly set that they can
not be plucked. Shearing is resorted
to, and many housewives have beds
made of the feathers, which almost
equal those of elder down, as the stiff,
troublesome quilts are absent. Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to
supersede plucking. -Anerjca71 AgTj-

fitting is of MarseilIes linen, although
freedom Of choice may be exercised on
this point. The length of this coat Is a

the sack design. The roll of the collar
should not be less than five inches, with
full Iapels and a general appearance OF
freedom and ease. AS to the bottom
corners of the coat, or what would be
the corners if not cut away, they should
recede from an inch below the lower
button. Ali the pockets should have
flaps, with the discretion of having the
upper pocket made with welt. Ivory
buttons are considered the very proper
form, and the edges should be double

Automatic machines Tor making base
balls have been so successfully con
trived that their introduction is likely
to constitute a practical industry.
Each machine winds two balls at one
time in the following way:
"A little para-rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with the
end Of a skein Of an old-fashiOned gray
stocking yarn, Is slipped into the ma
chine, then another, after which the
boy In charge touches lever, the
machine starts and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is thus hidden in q few
seconds, and In its place appears a
little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger.
When it appears to be about half the
size Of the regulation baseball there
is a click, the machine stops, the yarn
Is cut, the boy picks ont the ball and
losses it into the basket. When this
basket is full it is passed along to an
other boy, who runs q similar machine
where a half-Ounce layer Of worsted
yarn IS put on.
The next machine. adds a stronc,

Der cement Is next applied and q half
ounce layer of the very best fine
worsted completes the ball With 3be

stitched, narrow. The vest is supposed
to be nOtched and to close with five but
tons.
What manner of Overcoat should
man wear this season? The creators
of fashion haven't been so fastidiOUs in
this respect as in others, and, in a gen
eral way, it may be said that the spring
Overcoat of last year is appropriate
now. The fy-frOnt Oyersack or Ches-
terield is the common fayOrite. Soft
worsteds are the correct material, and
the length for the average man is from
thirty-six to thirty-seven inches. There
is one important change, however.
AS a matter of course the three-but-
ton cutaway viii still be the popular
garment, and viii lead all others this
season, as for several in the past.
For half-dress and for general style,
well-made appearance, they can not be
surpassed. The faYOrite shade viii be
blue-gray, with either fiat braided
edge or narrow stitching. The coat may
! be worn with a vest of the same ma
/ teriaI, or as fancy as the wearer de-
sires, and the trousers should be just a
trihe narrower than last year, with the
suspicion of a spring at the bottom.
/ This makes about as swell an outfit as
/ is in the market.
/ A very stylish conceit for men of
middle age, especially for those of tall
and slender build, is the two-button
cutaway morning suit. As the name
implies, the coat closes with two but
tons, set wide apart, and the whole
effect is most graceful. CheviOts, In
any chaste pattern, Is the proper ma
teriaI for the coat. The vest may be
of fancy goods, and the trousers in
checks, plaids, or stripes, as preferred.
For trousers, this season, the patterns
run almost entirely to plaids and
stripes, the latter being the most ia
vored. When the entire suit is cut
from the same piece, soft pIaids are In
good grace, but by all odds the most
popular effect is diagonal of rather
broad vale. For vests there is an end
less variety Of fancy designs in Light
materials, such as silk pique, linen,
mohair, and so on.
