Opium.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-An import
ant seizure of opium was made this morn
ing by Collector Quinn and his assistants
in the Arizona warehouse, on Townsend
street, between Third and Fourth. While
the amount of the seizure was not so very
large, yet it was important, from the fact
that it was domestic opium shipped from
the interior.
The stuff was marked to the Pacific
Fruit Company and was marked dried
fruit. Information had been received some
time ago that this company, which is
composed of Chinese, was operating from
the country-Shasta, it is presumed-and
watch has been kept ON all stuff con-
signed to them.
4 descent was made this morning,

OF the warehouse, who willingly assisted
in the search. There were 5I6 fve-tael
cans of domestic stuff hauled ont and
taken TO Collector Quinn's office. The
value OF the seizure is about $1,000.

EifIeI Tower Breeyes.

An Interesting illustration of the
perpetual freshness and strength of the
wind at the top of the Eiffel tower has
been presented during the last week by
the gradual destruction of the great
flag of the French republic, which has
been waving over the gay city during
the past six weeks. A few days ago
the red band disappeared altogether,
leaving the blue and white of another,
nationality to keep guard over the
tower, and this week another band has
disappeared, and the tower is now sur
mounted by red flag, to which are
attached two steramers, the sole rem
nants of its former upper and lower
edges.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

| The care of silver is an importan
duty in every well ordered house
| When j was a young housekeeper / wa
one evening entertaining company o
friends at tea; at my right hand wat
seated an elderly aunt who was a mode
housekeeper. She turned to me anc
| in an undertone, unheard by the
other guests, said, "How beautiful
| " bright your silver is" Of course
! was pleased with her appreciation oi
| it, and / knew she would, if at my
table, find it Just as bright three times
every day in the week, for 1t was cared
for as regularly as my clock was wound
once a week, and oftener if neces-
sary, which, however, was not neces-
sary in the case of the clock, but some
times becomes needful with some por-
| ton of ones silverware. Silver shonld
never be allowed to become dull, and
| any tarnished spots from egg or the
| like should be at once removed, either
by the use of tripoh soap or some
| other good preparation for the pur-
pose. A little ammonia will sometimes
remove these stains. All silver in con-
slant use should be washed after each
meal IL hot suds and wiped dry while
hot. Many people use whiting for
Clelnsing silver. L do not like it for
ma ~ reasons, but chiefly because it Is
so difficult to remove it from the cbas-
ing and embossed work on the silver.
Thre are many good preparations for
this purpose, and each housekeeper
has her preference. / like the tripolI
soap, and occasionally ammonia; but it
is rule unbroken in my hOuse,-no
,r-l oflvar Tn, 40
dishes from the table after a meal,
place the silver carefully on a plate
by itself, and not, as / have sometimes
seen done, mix 1t with knives and iron
spoons. Silver carefully used is al
ways covered with scratches and has an
1ntidy look.
With clean, bright silver, let every
thing else upon your table correspond
let every glass and dish be shining
clean, no streaks left by wet or soiled
dish-towel. In placing the dishes
upon the table, let every one be true
and square in its place. Give to the
table a symmetrical look; not crowd
everything to one end or one side, and
with either flowers or ferns, when they
are at your command, always decorate
your table. One, two, or even more,
small vases of flowers upon the table,
or a larger, fiat decoration in the CEN
ter of the table-will always be in good
taste and will help wonderfully to make
those who sit around the table forget
what they are eating, if it happens to
be not quite as nice as usual, or to in
crease the dainty flavor, if the cook
has been happily successful in all her
efforts. There are many dishes which
one should ''garnish little for looks"
Parsley is the good old standby for
garnishing; but all through the summer
and autumn there is nothing prettier
for this purpose than the nasturtium,
both flowers and leaves; try them on
dish of potato salad, or dish of devil
ed eggs, and see what a relish they
give and how they beautify your table.
A good maid who is faithful to her duty
in the dining room will never neglect
to garnish the dishes and to decorate
the table.

Stories from China.

The Chinese are queer people In
MANY ways. The North China News
saws that an English gentleman was
RECENTLY riding on horseback near
Pekin, when he saw an excited crowd.
Drawing near, he discovered a circle
of people quietly watching a man des-
perately attempting TO commit suicide
bv dashing his head against a wall.
He dismounted, restrained the man,
harrangued the bystanders, and learned
that this was a coolie, who claimed that
his payment for certain porter's Joo
was short by ten cash-less than a
penny-and, as the employer refused
to pay more, he was proceeding to take
revenge by killing himself on the spot,
knowing that by so doing he would
get the other into considerable trouble.
A Chinese newspaper is responsible
for this story, which, indeed. has moth
ing incredible about it. One day
SOW belonging to Mrs. Feng happened
TO knock down and slightly injure the
front door Of Mrs. Wang. The latter
at once proceeded to claim damages,
which were refused, whereupon fierce
alteration ensued, which terminated in
Mrs. Wang's threatening to take her
own life. Mrs. Feng, upon hearing of
this dreadful threat, resolved at once
to take time by the forelock and steal
a march upon her enemy by taking her
own life, and thus turn the tables
upon her. She accordingly threw her.
