SOME MODERN sMuccLERs.
Trim Maidens Take the Place of the
Rakish Ships of Yore.

The poetry of smuggling is gone.
In past days "the trim-built, rakish
black schooner, low-lying against the
might have slipped into the Shrews-
bury river or through He'll Gate with
rich cargoes of spices, silks, etc., but
these old days are now tale for win
ter fresides, says the N. Y. Press.
Steam has made rakish crafts useless
for such purposes, while Uncle Sans
revenue service, both afoat and ashore,
is well organized and has reached SO
high state of efficiency that the sin
ner against customs laws finds little
refuge outside of undervaluations or
the duty on personal effects. AS has
apparently been recently evinced, trim
built maldens, wearing tailor-made
gowns, have taken the place of the
rakish schooners.
The treasury agents abroad keep a
sharp lookout for smugglers and mar
rowly scan the passenger-lists of steam
ships, tracing purchasers from Amer
lea from point to point and frequently
cabling to this country to warn the
inspectors of prospective arrivals.
The seizures in the customs house at
Der, 1892, numbered 2,058, appraised
when compared with the vast aggre-
gate of importations. Of this number
of seizures 1913 were of dutiable ar
ticles in passengers baggage and only
ia for actual smuggling.
The smuggler of to-day is generally
woman. Her opportunities, scant
| = l.
can find and she is generally shrewder.
The false-bottom trunk is falling into
disuse, along with the decline of the
chignon and the disappearance of the
hustle, and now she brings in her
goods as personal effects, which under
the elastic construction of the law in
the Astor decision permits many
things that were formerly thought to
be forbidden. Fine laces and ribbons
are brought in as trimming to calico
gowns; dresses are lined with costly
silks. Valuable diamonds are bedded
in cakes of soap, set into cheap jew
elry or ordinary garter-buckles, and
costly jewelry is worn when leaving
the steamer. Other articles are
brought in as works of art or tools OF
trade, and one man who some time ago
cO6pp0Q OA Lu0 f0SS0l Will d 6I1AluR
malacca stick was invited to step to
the seizure-room while the inside OF
his stick was appraised. Within it
were unset jewels of great value.
Some of these smugglers follow that
pursuit as agents for American deal
ers, some to procure cheaply articles OF
value for personal use, some to bring
presents to friends, and some from an
innate desire to do what the law for
bids. Smuggling, however, in amounts
large enough to be really profitable,
4! when the risk is considered, has be-
come almost impossible to-day, unless
over uninhabited portions of the Can
adian border. The dealers abroad
cannot afford to permit the cutting of
their prices on this side, where many
of them have selling agencies, and
they frequently notify the treasury
officers in Europe of sales to Ameri-
cans. With them in league against
him the smuggler's lot is not happy
one and his golden age has gone.

survivals of an oak forest that must
have existed in that region, according to
the geologists and students of trees. as
far back as the Tenth century. They
bear every evidence of great age. and an
elm tree in the neigborhood, now almost
dismantled. with its great limbs living
on the ground and nearly all of its
branches decayed, is the most venerable
object in the line of trees that can prob
ably be displayed in New England. 1t
is well worth visit to Waverly lust to
see this venerable elm. It is immense in
the size of its trunk, and its dignity in
decay is very impressive. The dozen
oak trees in the neighborhood are of the
sort that attain a very great age ard
that maintain their yirility unimpaired.
We know Of only one other oak tree
in New England that can be compared
with them. That is located in IDswich.

while to see and study these majestic
oaks. They are seen to great advantage

revealed. and in summer, when they are
covered with foliage, they are objects of
wonderful beauty. Herald.
