To Amend the Customs Administrative Law

To Amend the Customs Admin strative Law.
The United States general appraiser in charge
at New York has called attention of the Treas
ury Department to the desirability of an ar
rangement which would obviate the necessity
of the personal attendance Of members of the
board of appraisers at distant points for the
purpose of taking evidence in appeal cases. He
asked the department to adopt, in conjunction
with the Department of Justice, former sug-
gestion that the United States district attorneys
may be authorized to appear for the govern
ment in cases OF appeals from the decisions Of
the board and to consent to the appointment
by the courts Of special commissioners to take
evidence at distant points. Acting Secretary
Spaulding has informed him in reply that
while the department recognizes the force Of
his statements and the urgent need Of amend
ments to the law in the direction suggested by
him. it fails to find authority under existing
statutes for the introduction Of the proposed
methods He says that if by mutual agreement
between the United States district attorney and
the appellants a special commissioner shall at
any time be designated by this court to take
testimony on behalf Of the board, the depart
ment could allow only his necessary travelling
expenses. He adds that the expenses Of such u
commissioner might be included in the taxed
costs of the SUITE payable by the losing party.
Gen. Spaulding says that the subject will be
brought to the attention Of Congress with q
view to having the law amended 50 as to permit
evidence to be taken in a more convenient and
economical manner than at present.

Food.

Gathered by the Natives ana Used ~
Food.
About five hundred thousand pools OF
sea wraclS, valued at one ruble and six
ty kopeclzs per pood, is exported from
Saghalin and neigh boring Russia coasts
in Tartary to China every year. The
weed is considered great delicacy in
China, and the largest market for it is
in Ching Foo The best sorts are
shipped to Shanghai The gathering Of
the weed begins early in March and
continues until late in the autumn,
when the sea gets too stormy for the
small craft employed in the trade. The
more northerly the spot from which the
wrack is fishcd the better is its quality.
The best weeds come from depth Of
twenty-five feet or more below the sur
face of the water. As broken leaves
are of no value, the wrack gatherers
are provided with long ralSes, which are
let down in the water and the wrack
pulled gently up by the roots The
roots are cut off and thrown into the
water, and the leaves are sent to the
shore where they are carefully spread
out and dried in the sun. When the
weather is bad they are quickly covered
up, for moisture spoils them. In shall
low places the wrack is cut from the
root with knife in the form of long
scythe attached 10 pole. The wrack
gatherers are very careful to restore the
roots to the water as soon as they get
the weed, for the same roots will pro
duce new crop of wrack in two years.
The weed is of brownish green color
when over-ripe and bright green when
young. 1t is very long and thick, and
| does not change in color or shape when
| dried. The best wrack is produced
| from March to JEly. The later crops
are of inferior value. The Chinese cut
the wracl1 in thin slices like noodles
and use it as a soup vegetable, boiled
with fish or meat IN. Y. Sun.

A Hint for Young Men.

Young man, do the other felIows
make fun of you, now and then, be-
cause you blush easily and are, as they
call it, little green? And are you half
inclined to be trifle mad that what
they say is true, and that you find it
difficult to get seasoned and tough as
they are? AS well might August be
ashamed that it preserved handful
of green in it's parched bosom, or an ap-
pie be chagrined that it harbored no
worm at it's core, or drop of rain be
annoyed that it fell from heaven rather
than from the gutter. Never be ashamed
of being innocent and pure in a world
where innocence and purity are too often
served as fresh fallen snow is served
that falls on trav eled highway. Be
proud if you retain the ability to blush
and to shrink from a hard story; to
avoid the contamination of daredevil
vice, and to turn from the allurements
OF so-called fast life" while others, no
older than yourself, have hardened in
the process of living as clay bakers in a
too-fervid sun. IL had twenty-year-
old boy who was bashful, and simple,
and green, :" as the world goes, | would
rather call him my son than be the
mother of a crowned prince shoe-deeL
in diamonds, with the ability to blush
taken from him. Amber, in Chicago
