A Smuggling Scheme.

Passing through Hudson street with
afriend, t CHANGED to pass the establish
ment Of a firm of ''folders and repack-
ers' of dry goods. Before the door were
a hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they were destined for a firm in Texas,
doing business in a town near the Mex
lean line.
do you know" asked my compan-
ion, why those goods are put up in
such small p~ackages?"
Upon replying in the negative he con
tinued: "They are to be struggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur-
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 80 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case.
The goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds owe the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
lean traders at a good profit.
"Smuggling in this is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled, cheap
Mexican coffee and cigars. New York

Americas Only Frostles. Belt.

What is supposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be-
tween the city Of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. It traverses the foothills
Of the Cahuenga range and has an ele-
walton of between 900 and 400 feet. In
breadth it Is perhaps three miles. The
waters of the Pacific are visible from
it, and the proximity Of the ocean has
Of course something to do with Danish
ing frosts. During the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and. other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon fiourishes, a tree that is
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with sue
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is interesting to know that a part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and it
Is only aquestion Of time when the city
will nave the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only
the midway region Of the Cahuenga
range is free from frost, the lower part
of the valley being occasionally visited.

TRAINING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.
No Good Reason Yet Advanced Why 1t
Should Not BE Done.

"hy .
Should Not BE Done.
In one of his essays in a book en-
titled ''Brushwood," the late James T.
Fields wrote: IF | were a boy again, l
think | would learn to use my left hand
just as freely as my right one, so that
If anything happened to lame either Of
them the other would be all ready to
write and handle things just as freely
as if nothing had occurred" And IN
doubtedly a great many of US would
learn to use both hands alike If we had
our lives to live over again. OF all the
young women who came under my in
struction while in charge Of the School
Of Domestic Economy Of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural college, not more than one in
twenty-five could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect Of those who came
Under my instruction at Purdue univer-
sity was about the same. And as far
as my observation extends this ratio
will hold in regard to women generally.
AS a rule, women, old and young, do
not know how to handle a broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.
When a N takes hold Of a broom
it is with the right hand near the top
of the handle and the left hand toward
the corn, and instead Of changing and
reversing them as occasion demands
she always keeps them in the same po-
sition. Whether she sweeps to the right
or to the left, the position Of her hands
remains unchanged. And her body is
contorted and her muscles strained in
the performance Of an operation that
would exercise these organs harmonious
ly, if the hands were so trained that
they could be used at will and were
changed as demanded by the changes in
the position of the sweeper.
I refer to women sweeping merely to
illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the
hands in numerous other branches Of
women's work that it Is unnecessary to
mention, and 30 far as the use of the
left hand is concerned men are In no
better condition than Men and
women are in this respect manned and
handicapped alike. Why should such
a state of things exist? Why, in this
age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education Of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at the expense of the left?
No physician or Psychologist has ever
given a sensible reason for SO doing,
and we seem to adhere to the custom
merely because it has been carried down
to us by our ancestors.-Jenness Miller

Cunning Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make a prac-
tice of stopping just before sunrise and
allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They
argue that if the dog goes to sleep while
it is yet dark and wakes up in an hour
and finds the SUI shining, he will suppose
that he has had a full nights rest, and will
travel all day without thinking Of being
tired. One or even two hours stop at
any other time is perfectly useless, as
the dogs will be uncomfortable from
that time forward until they are per
mitted to take what they think a full al
lowance of sleep.-St. Louis Republic.

Oscar Wilde's Latest.

The way Of the wit is hard. Oscar
Wilde, moved by the ready appreciation
Of the English people, has been led to
make some remarks which even his ad-
mirers srs not applauding. He ha.
been making some observations on the
subject of Puritans and the theater.
After devoutly hoping that he would
not be offered a bishopric, Nj. Wilde
added. Il quite expect to see any day

A Simple Fire Extinguisher.

1t is the opinion Of experts that much
of the money which is spent by factories,
mills and stores on the introduction of
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption Of a much sim
pier and more efficient method. Both
sulphur and ammonia are we'll adapted
for extinguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs
oxygen and forms sulphuric acid, the
fumes Of which are much heavier than
air. The quantity required would be
small, since seventy grammes of sulphur
can make one hundred cubic meters of
air inimical to combustion. An effective
sulphur extinguishing apparatus a be
made of a large iron box of moderate
depth and open at the top.
1t should be hinged at one end or side
to a protected ceiling, and kept close
thereto by a cord or wire connected with
q wire or strap formed chiefly of cad
MUM fusible at IA dogs. Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed a considerable
quantity of cotton wadding, well satur-
ated with powdered sulphur. On the
heat of an incipient fire melting the wire
or strip, the box drops a short distance;
by a simple device the cotton wadding
is ignited at the same moment, and a
strong cloud of sulphurous acid gas is
instantly evolved, which extinguishes
the fire by rendering the air unfit for
combustion.-New York Telegram.

SAM.

Seemed like about the toughest, toughest 5ob1
ever had
Was a payin' for a license to git married, - said
my dad.
After that hit weren't 50 trytn', for I'd call
upon Elviry,
When my calculations stumbled and the road
of life got miry;
So hit weren't so very long before we had i've
hundred dollar
Lord, weren't I proud! Says to her, a thous-
and's sure to foler.'
The thousand came. Says I, BY jing! for
fear we git in trouble,
Wen rustic nd Well tussle, tel our bank ac-
count Is double
And so we buckled to agin from airly morn tel
night,
Until we had it sailed down where intruss was
all right.
But then Elviry she got skeered. and low'd we
hadn't enuff
To live and raise the children up said she,
will still be tough
Down to it then we got oncet more, and
shaved and pinched and saved,
But seemed to me the more we made, the more
we allus craved,
an extra dime,
We never could say yes, though workin' harder
all the time.
Then Elviry, she grew feeble with the rheuma-
tiz and ager,
While 1 was laid up half the time with phthisic
and lumbager.
And SO the children they took holt, and
things went wus and wus;
They spent our money right and left, nor never
cared a cuss;
Our workin' and our scrimpin' and our savin'
here and there
All went for dressin', fuss and fun, and no one
seemed to care,
'Cept Sam, our youngest son, but he soon
racked off to the city,
The rest have scattered here and yon, with no
one left to pity.
And now we're old and feeble, it seems right
hard to me,
That the poorhouse only's left us; but Elviry
says, says she:
Eff we had thought Of others more, and less Of
savin' gold,
And Earned our boys to love Us, as we both on
US got old,
We would not be left helpless here, with no
one round to care;'
And l guess Elviry's hit 1t bout ez clost ca
truth will bear.
What's me and her a goin' to do? P'raps
you're the one can tell.
What you young bucks think you don't know
these days hain't much. Oh, WE'LL
Hit amt no reason you should laugh, kase two
old folks is &C down
Hey-how-you're Sam? Well, well; I swami
So you've got rich in town.
Come to take keer of us? Lord. how Elviry'u
cry for joy!
Wal, Sam, 'twixt us, 1 allus thought I'd raised
up one good boy"

Why are they called "straw"berries?
Smart men differ on that. Some say it
is on account of their hollow, strawlike
stems. Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or similar
protecting material in winter. The most
classical explanation that our Anglo
Saxon forefathers used to raise them and
they gave them this name because the
berries are generally on the ground, that
is, "strewed" or ''strawed" around.-Ex-
