The Ingenious Device Recently Discov-
cred by French Customs Officers.
The French customs officers who are
stationed at the gates of Paris to guard
against exciseable goods entering with
out paying the duty have occasionally
to deal with very ingenious attempts at
smuggling. An attempted fraud was
laid bare which goes to show how fer
tile the c~ontrabandists are in expedi-
ents. At the Menilmontant gate a man
in charge of a pony cart in which were
three large wooden boxes, attempted to
pass the barriers. Have you anything

Nothing" said the man, unless
government has put a tax on cemetery
wreaths," and as he spoke he drew the
lid off one of the boxes. revealing a
number of the wreaths and crosses of
artificial flowers SO common in French
burying grounds. The man was about
to pass on when something about him
aroused the suspicious of the chief off,
cial. He took the cover off one of tn.
boxes and admired the beauty of the
flowers and their remarkable fidelity to
nature. Lifting one casually in his
hand, he found it was remarkably
heavy, and closer examination showed
that when stripped of flowers and moss
it was a zinc case filed with the finest
brandy. The rest of the contents Of thu
boxes were of the same nature. ami
were at once confiscated. As frauds Of
the kind are severely punished by tie

was four hours old he found the she'll

to Apollo, who became a wonderful
PLAYER upon it. The Tyre was used by
the Greeks in Olden times, and from it
was furnished the harp.
The old-time viol was the first in stru-

apparatus for heating and ventilating
the church is not in sight. but it is very
effective. The building is large and
costly, and its walls. which are bare of
galleries Except a little one in an aleovc
