A Callfornta Inspector Tells How the
Heathsn Evade the Law.
The secretary OF the treasury has re-
ceived q long report from Mr.. d. Z. Coon,
Chinese inspector at San Diego. CAL, in
regard to. the smuggling Of Chinese into
the United States from Mexico. He says
that . careful inspection Of the country
aud roads crossing the state line from
T%iajuanna to the monument at the sea
shows that the opportunities for crossing
over into this country are many and that
1t is impossible with the present force to
prevent all the Chinese from entering the
country. He says that the smuggling of
Cinnamon into the United States is q
profitable traffic Of no small dimensions
and that it is backed by very heavy capi-
tai with the principal headquarters at San
Francisco and China.
The evidence seems to be that contracts
are made in China to deliver safely each
Chinaman on American soil and a guaran-
tee given. II the delivery is made in
safety the money ($14OD 10 paid. The
Cinnamon ire provided in China with
tickets to various parts Of Mexico, and on
arrival in the harbor of San Francisco are
Transferred to + coaster, by which they arc
taken to Ensenada OF other points. "But
the real destination of the Chinaman,'
says Mr.. Coon, sis the United States, and
no matter where he lands, be it in Mexico
or Canada, he will at the earliest possible
moment work his way to his original des-
tination.
The action of the secretary Ut the
treasury prohibiting further transfers in
the harbor Of San Francisco was a most
fors- ate order aud will serve to check the
- Tor q time at least, but I apprehend
that in the near future steamship lines
will bring them direct from China andland
them on Mexican soil al near the United
States a. possible, SO they may finally
reach the country they are looking for.
Legislation on this subject by congress.
il we'll considered, will afford temporary
relief and in my opinion it will be found
necessary for our government to negotiate
treaty stipulations with Mexico and the
British government whereby those nations
will exclude Cinnamon from their territory
IN this continent.
The surest and the most speedy and
economical punishment the Chinaman can
have and the M to be most dreaded by
him is to send him at once to his native
country"

Apple Wood for Fuel.

In most old orchards there are some
trees that have become stunted, and ex-
cept with extraordinary attention will
never pay their way. The better plan
is to dig them out root and branch aud
use them for fuel. The extra rare con-
centrated OIL the remaining trees will
bring far larger returns. Most orchards
are planted much too closely for the
best results. Where the tree was dug
out fill in with rich dirt from the road.

products how much they appreciate the
wider range given their roots. Apple

HeatIn. OF Cut Cornstalka.
Most farmers know that cornstalks,
though apparently dry, will heat when
cut and slowed away in large heaps. Az
this 10 usually done iu cold weather the
heating does no injury, and it is rather
a benefit to the coarser portions, making
them softer and more readily eaten. In
such a winter as the present the heating
may go too far and form mould, unless
the heap is frequently turned over with
. ~barn-shovel or dung-f ork with close
tines. such as is used for %shovelling
soil. Taking the cut stalks out warm
from the pile. cows will eat them
heartily, especially if a little meal ia

That Blessed Jury system.

The Americans seem to have inher-
tied from their English ancestors an alb
surd admiration for time-honorcd and
fossilized institutions, which have in q
great measure outlived their usefulness.
and which require immediate repair or
modification if they IRE still to be used
in the day of modern improvement and
progress.
One of these a%ntiquated institutions
is the petty jury, to alter or modify
which, would, in the opinion OF many
otherwise sane persons, cause the na-
tional fabric to totter to its very foun-
dation. To merely suggest a modifica-
ton Is to shock the general public, and
yet, If there is any institution in this
world that needs repairs its the Jury
system.
The verdict in the Cronin case is an
illustration of the danger and absurdity
of putting it in the power of one mule
headed crank, or worse, to block the
wheels of Justice. Why should a jury
be unanimous? Unanimity is not re-
CURED in any other tribunal. No won
der the popular impression is that JUS
tice in this country is meted out l
6ttaWDerfy OOXeS.
The truth is that the trial by Jury has
become q subject for scofing and mer-
riment. Under the best of circ,,m-
stances, the jury system is crude and
unreliable, but what makes things
worse is the material of which juries are
composed. Mr.. Nye, who was made to
serve on q jury, gives a very good de-
scription of the makeup of the average
Jury. He says:
I'VE had a Polander, who couldn't
speak q word of English; a deaf man
from Oshkosh, and q half-witted cuss
from Blue Island. There was q one
eyed man from the rhubarbs Of the
town, who had to be walked up with a
chair for meals. There was also O Nor
wegian on the jury who hadn't been in
this country very long, and who didn't
know q verdict from a porous plaster"
1t often happens that the juryman who
sleeps through the trial and awakes and
listens to the charge of the Judge is the
only safe man of the twelve; he knows
something. The. other eleven are only
fuddled with the evidence, and are IL
able to bring in almost any kind of Q
verdict. Siftimgs.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Ustne the Teeth.

The law Of deterioration from disuse

use of them in masticating hard food
tends to make them continually grow
harder and stronger, and better able to
resist the influences that make for dc.

soft food and neglect of ma~stication

and renders them easily susceptible to

dentist, speaking on this subject. says:

period to begin to save the teeth. Moth

STRANGE to say, comparatively few
people are intimately acquainted with
the composition of our. national flag. In
engravings and pictures one daily sees
misrepresentation of it, and even upon
poles or in professions on holidays.
They are made with more than I e re-
quired number of stripes, more Oh less
stars in the union than there should
be, or the arrangement of the stripes
as regards colors is not right. Then
again the flags are not made of proper
dimensions. The official flag is made
as follows: There should be thirteen
stripes, representing the thirteen
original States of the Union, the Dor.
der stripes of red; the union, of blue,
should be v stripes square, resting
on white, with four red and white
stripes on the sides; the entire flag
should be twenty-one stripes long and
thirteen stripes wide. Very otter flags
are een with from fifteen to twenty
stripes and owe fifty stars in the union.
Aside from these irregularities, it is
quite common on holidays to see flags
with the union down. BY the union
down is meant having stripes where the
union should be. It should always be
uppermost. If it is down, it signifies
distress. All good Americans ought to
know these things, but hardly one in
fifty understands the composition of our
emblem OF how to display it.
