frontier custom houses is quite in
formal. This is especially true of the
customs offices on the Mexican frontier
and on the boundary line between the
States and the British provinces.
There is II popularity about the Next
can frontier that is entirely its own. 1t
consists in what is known as the free
zunc," and is situated in old Mexico.
Several years ago the Mexican Govern
ment passed law setting apart mar
row strip of territory on the boundary
me between that country and the
United States to be "zona libra or
free zone, into which goods and mer-
chandise could be shipped from any
part of the world duty free. The object
OF this legislation was to build up a
narrow strip of Mexican territory at
the expense of the United States from
tier. This piece of strategy by the
Mexican Government is accomplishing
ITS purpose, because the United States
Is debarred from retaliating with a
similar law, for the reason that it
would be contrary to the provision of
the Constitution which declares that
"all duties, imposts and excuses shall be
uniform throughout the United States. :"
The free zone is strip of territory
twenty miles wide on the Mexican side
of the line, and extends from Mata-
moras to Tijnana. The United States
frontier adjoining old Mexico is poorly
guarded. There are custom houses at
Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass. and
Ell Paso, Tex, and at Nogales. n. NJ.
Mounted inspectors patrol this part of
the frontier, but they only act as de-
tectives, and there are not enough of
them to guard properly the boundary
line between this country and the free
zone in Mexico. 1t is doubtful if any
ordinary number of men could guard
the Mexican frontier The barren
plains in the northern part OF Texas
and in the southern part of New Mex
leo and Arizona afford great protection

Aim in LIFE.

There are some people, keen, intel.
ligent. energetic, having "A distinct
aim in life and following it closely,
but wrapped up in themselves and
regardless of Others, except as they
can use them for their own benefit
Their experience seems to afford
them no opening into the lives of
others, their struggles do not teach
them how to help others, their Joys
and sorrows do not enable them to
sympathize with Others. They are.
in the words of IA recent writer. as
bright and sharp as needles, and
they are as hard and narrow" This
exclusive devotion to self, however
intense and eager, misses its aim.
For as we cannot truly help others
while neglecting our own proper
business, so we cannot do our own
work in the best way while neglect
ing our duties to other people. The
experience that we gain through
sympathy reacts to make our own
lives richer and our own labors more
effective

to be regular, he is permitted to go on
otherwise the vessel is placed under
arrest and taken to the nearest port.
4 Revenue Tug.
Having passed the revenue cutters.
the vessel in some Of tho larger sea-
ports meets revenue tug just after en-
teriEg the harbor These little boats
steam cut to meet the big ship, and
turning around run up alongside of the
ship while it is slowly moving toward
the landing place. A ladder is run up
from the tug and two inspectors are
placed on board. who remain on the
vessel until it lands and the cargo has
been unloaded and the duties assess I'd .
In ports where there are no revenue
tugs the inspectors go aboard when the
vessel first lands, but in other case no
one on board the ship is permitted to
go ashore and no part of the cargo can
be unloaded until the officers have
made an examination OF the ship's
manifest and clearance papers.
After the vessel lands the Captain
must. within twenty-four hours there
after. enter" his vessel-that is, he
must report to the Collector of the
Port, delivering to him copies of the
manifest and clearance papers To do
this he first deposits his clearance pa
pers with the Consul of the nation
from which the ship sailed. The Con-
sui examines the papers and if they
are regular he gives the Captain Of the
vessel a certificate to this effect. The
Captain then gives the Collector this
certificate, which is, official evidence
that the vessel is from the country
that it claims to be. Besides deliver
Ing his clearance papers TO the Collec-
tor the Captain also delivers TO him the
manifest OF his ship, containing list
OF the passengers on board the vessel
and the invoice of goods sent to the
merchant in this country. which it will
be remembered was Endorsed by an
American Consul in foreign port be-
fore the goods We're shipped to this
country. The Captain must make oath
that his manifest is in every way cor.
rect to the best of his knowledge and
belief. When these regulations have
been complied with the Collector issues
an order for the delivery of the cargo.
But before the importing merchant
or consigpee can secure his goods he
must go before the Collector and secure
Q permit allowing him to unload his
freight. To do this he goes to the Gus
tom House and produces his invoices
and bill OF lading. The invoice Is COM
pared with the invoice in possession Of
tho Collector and which was sent to

Before They Knew IL.

Joseph Thomas, lawyer in the
State OF Maine, at the beginning OF
this century, was man of considera-
Bile reputation as wag. A couple
were anxious to be married. and as
there was no minister at hand, they
waited upon Mr.. Thomas, who, as a
magistrate, was authorized to per.
form the marriage ceremony.
He was busy writing as they en-
tered, but paused to inquire what
they wanted. Addressing himself to
the man, he asked if he wished to
take that woman for wife, and next,
turning to the woman, he inquired
whether she wished to take that man
for her husband. Then he went on
with bis writing.
The parties sat still. and waited
until their patience was exhausted.
Finally, tire man ventured to in.
terrupt Mr.. Thomas, and tell him
they were in great hurry.
~Why don't you 90 along, then?'
answered the Judge.
But We want to be married first.
Married? You have been married
more than half an hour"
He explained the requirements of
the law, and the couple withdrew,
not without some misgivings, it is to
be feared, as to the validity of GER
emory which had been so unceremOn.
iously performed. They had certain
ly been married in haste. but there
is no record that they repented at
leisure,
