A Needless Expense.

Al the last meeting Of he Boacd of
County Commissioners IL bill of Sl2, 50
was credited in favor OF DR.. Cavell for
diagnosing a case at the County Hos
pital
Dr. Lee the regular County Physi-
elan diagnosed the case and the Board
brought ia DR. Cavell who gave ex-
actly the same diagnosis az DR.. Lee.

WORK OF CUSTOMS iNouIslroRs.
Singular Crcdulity of These Sharp Men
 Who Look Out For Smugglers.

 Singular Credulity of These Sharp Men
 Who Look Out For smugglers.
 Man has been variously defined by the philosophers as rational animal, laugh ing animal and cooking animal, says an exchange. Why not also a smuggling animalP For of all the many manifesta- tions of that original sin which standcth not in the following of Adam smuggling is surely the most widespread. You may find grocers who do not sand the sugar, and you may find churchgoers who mako point of following the sermon from start to finish. But If you would find tho man who scorns to smuggle you will have to search industriously and long-longer and more industriously oven than if tho ob- ject of your quest werc that prcux chev- alier who disdains to travel in a first class carriage with third class ticket.
 Smuggling might even bo defended-as murder has been-by philosophio processes of ratiocination. Suppose, for instance, that you, an Englishman, are on the point of travelling in France. You arc a smoker and arc fully persuaded in your own mind that smoking is beneficial, If not indeed absolutely necessary to your health. From information received you are aware that from Calais to Marseilles and from Bordeaux to Belfort nothing fit to smoke can be obtained There are places, 1t is true, whore fourpenny books can be ob- taincd for a franc apiece. But that is an cxtravagant price to pay, and from your childhood upward you have been taught to consider extravaganza sin For the rest, you can obtain two sorts of ciga- rettes There are certain so called Turkish js jscigarettes-the Vizir-whioh taste prin- !. cipally of the paper in which they are rolled, and there arc also tho Caporal cig 's arettes But 1t Is notorious and 1t was principally because they were always | smoking these Caporal cigarettes, that the :, French were beaten by the Germans in | the great war. Therefore you argue with yourself thus:
 ;, 7. 5'. It is question, you say to yourself, E between damaging my health, if not in- ]. deed my moral character, by smoking ? 2 French tobacco and dofrauding the French ' oi a few centimes. Of two evils one ? should always choose the less.''
 Of course there is always tho third al- ]. formative of declaring the contraband . goods and paying the duty on them. But : that does not occur to you. AS the song says, You can't think of everything, can youf'' So you put your cigars in your boots, or in the lining of your hat, or in my other placo that ingenuity suggests, and stride through the custom house with your head in tho air, and exhibit genuine indignation when the douanier fumbles about suspiciously among the undcrgar- mcnts at the bottom of your portmanteau.
 Considering all things, custom house officials are a gentle and unsuspicious race of men. With all the painful expe rienco of the deceitfulness of human na- ture that comes their way one would OK poot them to be invariably skeptical of the travclcrs assertion that he has noth ing to declare As a matter of fact, they are very generally credulous, especially in foreign parts.

BLOND HEROES GONE.
Novelists Complain That Modern Young
 Men Are Dark Haired.


 Where has the fair haired laddie gonei A lady novelist, writing to contcmpo- rary, complains that tho golden haired youth is fast becoming extinct, and that heroes of fiction, to be true to nature up to dato, must be endowed with dark locks.
 It was but a week or two ago that commented on tho discovery, made by an observant scboolmaster, that rod haired boys were DOW comparatively rarc,sso VIC arc presumably reaching an era when tho Saxon type of man will no longer exist.
 This is regrettable from a picturesque point of view, but there seems little reason why tho novelist should bo exercised by the disappearance of the blond malo from our midst. It is my firm opinion that if tho matter could be put to tho vote it would be found that the majority of girls who are of course the largest consumers of flction-prefcr the hero with soft, dog gy' brown eyes and bluo black hair to tho insipid flaxen boiled and blue eyed lover.
 But in any case thore is no reason why the novelist should not givo his or her readers what they like. and if fair haired mon really arc so scarce and really are ad- mired 1t will be all tho moro agreeable to meet with them in fiction instead of com monplace dark men such as ono encoun- tors in real lifc.- .Lady's Pictorial.

Nickname For Aluminium.

The use of tho chemical symbol Al" has already become very general and is in common use. That the original word will ultimately bo succeeded by the use of the symbol abbreviation is extremely like ly, but this use cannot be considered a nickname any moro than the use of sym bols to designate the other metals.
 In speaking of names, it is interesting to mention decidedly novel case, where a man, wbo as m aluminium enthusiast, honored the metal by christening his baby son Aluminium" and he further says should he ever be blessed with n daughter that he will nalne her 'Aluminia. His choice of names is indeed remarkable, as is likewise his reason-that he wishes as great and glorious future for his chil- dren as is indicated for the now metal, and in this he has tho sincere appreciation of all those interested in the production and manufacture of aluminium, and may lit tie "Af' and his sister Minia" keep pace with the tremendous progress of the great new motal.-Aluminium orld.
