Detecting a SmuggIer.

A treasury agent, speaking Of the
watchfulness of Uncle Sans officials,
said: "A handsomely dressed man got
off a ferryboat and seemed to be unusu-
ally nervous A moment more and he
was struggling in the hands of the Off
GERS and desperately clutching at the
lapels Of his coat. It's no use, the
officers remarked; we know what you
have and where it is. Better give it up
and say trouble Apparently crushed
by the discovery, the man quietly as
sisted in opening seams and produced
the diamonds from various portions Of
his clothing. Your shoes, please!' This
rather staggered him, but he submitted
with good grace, and one Of the heels
being unscrewed another lot, though
smaller and less valuable than the first,
was found there. The diamonds were
examined and pronounced to be a splen-
did article of paste, worth about 25
cents each. This did not satisfy us, and
the man was stripped to the skin. A
huge piece Of sticking plaster was on
his back, which was removed, and I'M
der it were concealed scores Of genuine
diamonds. It is not often that a ruse
is so ad1oitly planned and practiced."

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds, would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in a medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dai-
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
ceptions to it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had e7, t68 "habituals'' in 1868;
now the evil roll is only SO, 1853.
When the population of England was
10, 257. 900 in 1869, there were z, $3.50
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with a population Of 81, $50, 179,
the number is only SAT. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our ja1ls
was 2O,833; the entire number at the
same date last year was 10, 663, though
the population had increased by 6, 0O0,-
600. Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1.079, 391 persons were in receipt
Of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 1000, 900 inhabitants, there
were only TIA, 905. The upshot of these
figures = without pressing them too
much-seems surely to be that the''cos-
mic process in u own little corner Of
the universe is not doing SO badly.-Sir
Edwin Arnold in Longman's Magazine.

OYSTERS.

The oyster business has received
 bad blow from the State board of health. There is no doubt about that. But there will be decided difference of opinion about the justification of the blow And the oyster growers and sell CTS will not be the only ones who will set themselves against the damaging dictum of the health beard. We have TO doubt that Dr Dibble will laugh at it, and call forth from his well stored mind startling facts in support of his laugh. Some other doctors will also dis agree with the astute and learned State doctors. And plain people will ask why, it is, if the suspected raw oysters are the cause of the fever, everybody who ate of them asn't sick. Learned doctors will perhaps reply to this that those only are sick whose systems were in a condition hospitable to the devilish fever germs. And some reckless gentle man may arise and say that he has eaten diseased germs all his life and isn't dead yet. So the sum of accurate and undisputed Knowledge may not be much added to by the rather unusual

berless products, as any science primer shows. From even more unlikely sources scents are obtained.

To the French belongs the greatest credit in discovering new means of making mon- ey. The Parisian chiffonnier Is much sharper than his London brother, who does queer trade in cigar ends and old hats, boots, etc., which are "faked" to look as good as new It was Pa rislan who first utilized old sardine- tins, long regarded as worthless. He extracted the solder, and utilized the tin in the manufacture of toys and for beating into furniture. Another Pari- sian, an old soldier, collected old crusts and made them into bread-crumbs for cooks and in time started a place of business, whence were supplied croutes au pot, so dear to connoisseurs in soups.-London Exchange.

 After walking thrugh that section 1t was easier to comprehend the asser- ton that there is now more wild land in Connecticut than there was cen tury ago. One need not seek far for reasons. If mans predilection was for farming, the rich western prairies offered more inducement than the stony, thin hlllsides of New England; and If he would not farm. the city was always agape, ready to swallow him alive. It is not unnatural that Con- necticut, with other New England and Atlantic states, should have suffered in its farming population. The country, in It's development, has made peremp- tory demands for brains as we'll sas hand labor, and the eastern farms have furnished the professions with many of their ablest men.

Cocks plumes and ostrich feathers are abundant, the latter being found way ing over and about most of the pictur- esque models. While many of them tower above the crowns, straight up or at varying angles, they are at times ar ranged to add but little to the height This method of garniture is very taste fully illustrated in this picture. Here a cluster Of seven rich pIumes spread from starting point on the hats left side, being held by a knot of velvet in fashionable cerise shade The hat it. self is of black velvet with shirred crown ornamented by jet square in the center, and wide wired brim cov- cred with a fancy black felt braid.
 Fancy braids of silk and felt inter- woven with chenille cord are one of the characteristic features of current mill linery. Sometimes used for entire hats or bonnets, it is more often combined with velvet, jet and lace, the ruling idea of the whole being to attain the incongruous. In the gay procession of ribbons, satin is always in the lead, so far ahead of its competitors, and they are so numerous that they count only as small fry. This does not mean, how ever, that there are not many beauti- full and acceptable ribbons in the dis tanced rabble. FLORETTE.

prevalence of typhoid fever and the off, fielal explanation of It.
 It will certainly be safe until the scare Is over to cook oysters. It Is safe to do that at any time,by the way. The oyster dealers can relieve themselves Of responsibility by hiring some scientific gentleman to discover the exact degree of heat necessary to kill typhoid fever germs and spreading the information among those who are given to eating oysters We have little doubt that they could hire some scientific gentleman who would feel able to say that there is nothing in the scare but we wouldn't recommend that. That would look like contempt of the State board of health, and no such contempt should be exhib- ited. It will be better to advocate the cooking of oysters. And as the season of church entertainments will soon be in full blast the oyster dealers might benefit both themselves and the public by buying and publishing scientific opinion to the effect that the more oys- ters there are in stew and the warmer the stew Is the less likely those who eat 1t are to die. Lukewarm and dishwatery oyster stews may we'll have the con- dcmnatlon of science, even if such con- demnation disturbs the harmony be- tween science and religion,

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The caucuses held last evening indi- cate that the Republicans of the city are quite as wideawake as they were before the State election. and that they mean to again break the record in the city and town elections. It looks as if they would succeed if they make the right nominations. The recon struction of the Democratic party of New Haven is proceeding as discour- agingly as did the reconstruction of the Democratic South thirty years ago. The rank and file of the party do not dance to the piping of the committee and some of them even go SO far as to say "Ratsw The truth appears to be that many of the Democrats are eagerly awaiting another chance to throw down. the Democratic ring and continue the process of housekeeping. There is need of such work and though in doing it some good men may be hurt. just as in cleaning house a fine vase may be broken, the disposition to do it is strong. Those who do the nomi- mating for the Republicans should take full advantage of the situation for the benefit of the city rather than for the benefit of the politicians.

Making Money.

Where are we to look for new out let's? Inventors and discoverers are the saviotIrs of society. The photo graphic art Is modern enough to be a useful case in point. Photographers increased fl per cent. from 1871 to 1881, and 59 per cent. in the following de- cade. New industries give rise to new wastes; and 1t was not long before 1t was discovered that the precious metal used in the developing solutions could be recovered, or that the yolk of eggs, whose white was employed in provi- ding albuminized paper, need not be thrown away as valueless, but would realize handsome prices from pastry cooks. The history of waste products, indeed, is extremely instructive, and very pertinent to this article. In some cases by-products have become the main products.

MONTE CARLO.

Those who haven't broken the bank at Monte Carlo and those who wish 1t could be forever broken, will not mourn because the great gambling he'll appears to be on the wane. The half yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Casino company, which owns the gambling tables at Monte Carlo, has just been held and proved rather lugu- brious. The report presented on the working of the gaming-tables was far from satisfactory. AS was the case last summer, there has been a decided falling off in the receipts. At the end of the financial year, concluding on March 31, the receipts were fS0 900 less than in the previous year, and the de- ficiency has been further increased in the past six months by the sum of f2o,ooo. Various reasons are given for of money in Italy, which provides Monte Carlo with by far the largest number of its patrons during the hot season, being the chief. The opposition now offered by Aix-les-Bains Spa, Ostend, and Dinant, which are more accessible to the English and American gamblers, and cooler and more amusing resorts than Monte Carlo in summer, is also much keener than formerly. The de- cline in the receipts, therefore, seems likely to continue, and the anxious di- rectors are trying to devise new at- fractions and new economies.

The greatest walker in England is said to be the vicar of a parish near Stockton-on-Tees. His ordinary daily exercise is a twenty-four mile walk be- fore lunch. with strcll of eight or ten miles afterward. His daily average Is thirty miles, which he takes in peram- bulating about his large parish, where he is very popular. He Is 67 years of age, in most vigorous health, and has not a gray hair on his head. He at tributes his good health to his walk ing habits.

Judge Colts decision in the case of Mrs. Corliss. who sought to prevent the publication of portrait of her late husband in biographical sketch of Mir. Corllss. is an interesting and important exposition of the question as to how far an individual in his life time, or his heirs after his death, may control the reproduction of his phot- ograph. Judge Colt lays down what seems to be good law, as we'll as sound common sense. when he says that, while the right of private individual to prohibit the publication of his pie ture should be recognized, this right may be surrendered or dedicated to the public by the act of the individual, just the same as a private manuscript or painting becomes public property by the act of publication when not copy lighted. When the individual becomes, in any sense, public character, he forfeits this right. and, in Judge Colts opinion, 1t Is carrying the right of pro h!bition too far to say that the general public can be prohibited from knowing the personal appearance of such a per-

A deer has been lately seen in Connec- ticut, and deer are plenty in Vermont. The protection of deer in Vermont will extend until 1900, but the farmers say that if there were not a little hunting the animals would so increase as to be a nuisance before then. They have been eating some of the crops this au- tumn, are often found in orchards con- suming fallen fruit, and the agricultu- rist in Windsor county complains that they have destroyed his entire crop of buckwheat. Several of the lawns have been domesticated and are as tame as sows and sheep, not to say a good deal worse about getting into gardens. High fences will keep cattle out, but not deer
