DRIED CURRANTS FREE.
Importers of What Are Called Zante
Currants Find Way to Evadc
the Law.
The following telegram was received in

The following telegram was received in
this city yesterday:
NEW YORK, April 3.
United States Appraisers have decided
against the Government, making currants free.
V. II. DUDLEY & Co.
A dealer in dried fruits said: 'tMost of
the currants imported to this country in
previous years have come from Zante, and
the Wilson bill placed a duty upon such
goods of a cen: and half pound to pro-
tect, as it was supposed, California raisin-
growers. The wording of the law especially
states 'currants from Zante, and as soon
as this became law most of the shipments
were made from other points in Greece
than Zante, and we understand the duty
on currants was paid under protest, they
making a claim upon the Government a
short time ago for refunding of all such
duties paid.
1.-THE appraisers have decided that the
i'm porters were right, and that the Govern
ment must refund duties already paid,
virtually making currants free again, and
the result is anything but satisfactory to
California raisin-growers, who feel that
they are entitled to even more than the
protection proposed for them by the small
duty on currants provided for in the Will
son bill.
1T is hoped that the Government will be
sustained in its appeal and that the duty
may remain on these goods, for they are
great competitor with the cheap grades of
California raisins.
1.-The product of California has nearly
succeeded in driving the foreign raisins
from the Eastern markets, the importa-
tons of the past year showing a decided
falling off as compared with previous sea-
sons, and most of the importers acknowl-
edge that they have lost money on most
of the goods brought to this country.
with the increased production it is be-
lieved that California will not only supply
the United States, but export raisins if the
people here but continue to receive even
the meager protection proposed in the
Wilson bill

self and Beatty. and it was handed over to
Groezinger, and in the shuttle the plaintiff
wandered out on the street and was lost for
the time being, so the matter went over,
after a brief argument by G. T. Francouer,
for Beatty, to the effect that no damages
could be claimed until it was shown that,
had the case against the home been tried,
the old man would, first, have got judg-
ment and, second, got his money on the
Judgment, which involves the trying of the
original case on its merits.

Kicked the Kings Horse.

On tho battlefield, as everywhere else,
Bismarck looked after the interests Of his
imperial master. During the battle OF
Koenigsratz, the old emperor-thep king OF
Prussi.l-llad exposed himself and his staff
to tho euemy's fire, and would not hear OF
retreating to safe distance At last Bis
marck rode up to him, saying: AS re;
sponsible minister of the crown, must
insist upon your 1najesty's s retreat to n safe
distance. If your majesty were to be
killed, the victory would be Of no use to
U.S." The king saw the force Of this, and
slowly retreated, but in his zeal returned
again and again to the front.
"When noticed it, !" said Bismarck, tell
ing the story, II only rose in my saddle
and looked at him. He understood perfect
ly, and called out, rather angrily, Yes, I
am coming But we did not get on fast
enough, and at last rode up close to the
king, took my foot out Of the right STIR
rup, and secretly gave his horse an ener-
getic kick. Such a thing had never hap.
pened to the fat mare, but tho move was
successful, for she set off in a fine canter. "

K0eDRalx0 Teeth.

There is curious relniniscence of the
past in usage by some European mothers,
and it is shown by the keeping of the first
castof teeth-'the milk teeth" of their
little ones-and to preserve these they
give them q golden setting, wearing them
in a ring. 10 fond mother there can be
nothing out Of the way or approaching to
responsiveness in q souvenir of this charac-
ter. The preservation of such little teeth
we do not think is common in England or
in the United States. We make, however,
a distinction between tooth and lock Of
hair. 1t is the indestructible quality Of
both things which makes them suitable
mementos. Nevertheless, all poetical sem
timentality being put aside, the preserva-
tion Of the tooth is return to the ways
of the most remote antiquity. The ex-
cellent lady who, then, is mother, and
who cuts holes in the lobes of her pretty
ears and wears on her finger ring with q
little snow white tooth in it initiates in
many ways the tastes of her ancestral sex,
say, 5000 or 10, 600 years ago.-New York
Times

saffron in the rinsing water until the right
cream or ecru tinge Is procured. White
silk laccs are soaked in milk overnight,
then soused in warm soapsuds, rinsed and
finally pulled out and carefully pinned
down while damp. Laces must be soused,
gently squeezed and clapped between the
hands until dry or nearly so Laces may
be whitened by letting them stand covered
with soapsuds in the sun. Fine bread
crumbs rubbed on will clean lace that is
not very much soiled. White cotton laces
arc washed in warm soapsuds, well rinsed,
then boiled, rinsed again, clapped nearly
dry and pinned down on q smooth bed
over a clean towel. Every point of the seal
lops should be pinned. If laces are ironed,
which the best cleaners do not approve of,
the ironing should be done over soft fan
mel cloth, and with q cloth between the
iron and lace.
Lace is still much used for trimming
both in millinery and for gowns. It is q
good plan not to stitch the more delicate
kinds on the gown by machine, but to
lightly baste them on by hand, SO that
they may be quickly and easily removed to
be cleaned or freshened. They should never
on any excuse be starched.
A sketch is given Of lace trimmed
house gown Of green and rose striped silk.
The part opens over a full length blouse Of
white surah. each side being edged with
ooquilles of tinted lace, which also pass
around the shoulders to form bertha.
The bouffant elbow sleeves are edged with
. fall of lace and q soft girdle Of rose satin
passes around the back of the waist, being
fsstened with bows at each side Of the
front. The ripple collar is of white surah,
and knots Of rose satin adorn the shoulders.

A hat worn with this suit is Of velvet

not an unusual number for trimming one

Clear color is the rule of the day. All
tho muddy and fade tints that once, and
that not so long ago, bore the name Of red,
blue, pink, green or purple have disap-
peared, and the pure tones have replaced
them. Frankness has superseded subtlety,
and the symphonies and half tones of es-
thetic days are things of the past-at least,
just now. 1t is becoming the fashion to
condemn the aesthetic movement, but it
should be remembered that that craze-for
in weak heads it became one-inaugurated
an era of greatly improved taste in dress,
decoration and furniture, the previous 20
years or so having boen conspicuously
lacking in that quality.
