these rules were officially promulgated

Singular Gredulity of These Sharp MtA
Who Look Out For SmuggIers.
Man has been variously defined by the
philosophers as rational animal, a laugh
ing animal and cooking animal, says an
exchange. Why not also a smuggling
animalH For of all the many manifesto
tions Of that original sin which standeth
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 make
point of following the sermon from start
to finish. But if you would find the man
who scorns to smuggle you will have to
search industriously and long-longer and
more industrously even than If the OBJ
ject of your quest were that preuX chev-
alier who disdains to travel in a first class
carriage with a third class ticket.
Smuggling might even be defended-as
murder has been-by philosophic processes
of ratiocination. Suppose, for instance,
that you, an Englishman, are on the point
of travelling in France. You are a smoker
ard are 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 Hclfort nothing fit to smoke
san be obtained There are places, it is
true, whore fourpenny books can be OBJ
tanned for franc apiece. But that is an
eXtravagant price to pay, and from your
childhood upward you have been ti&lght
to consider extravaganza sin For the
rest, you can obtain two sorts of ciga-
rettes There are certain so called Turkish
cigarettes--the Vizir-which taste prin-
cipally of the paper in which they are
rolled, and there arc also the Caporal Gig
arettes. But it is notorious, and it 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:
1t is question" you say to yourself,
"between damaging my health, if not in
deed my moral character. by smoking
French tobacco and dofrauding the French
OF a few confines OF two evils one
should always choose tho less. ~
OF course there is always the third al
tentative of declaring the contraband
goods and paying tho 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
any other place that ingenuity suggests,
and stride through the custom house with
your head in the air, and exhibit genuine
indignation when the douanier fumbles
about suspiciously among the undergar-
ments at the bottom of your portmanteau.
Considering all things, custom house
officials are gentle and unsuspicious
race of men, With all the painful expe-
rience of the deceitfulness of human ma
ture that comes their way one would ex-
peot them to be invariably skeptical of
the traveller assertion that he has moth
ing to declare. AS matter of fact, they
are very generally credulous, especially
in foreign parts.

Nickname For Aluminium.

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

KOHLSAAT'S BREAD SIGNS.
An Amusing Incident of the Chicago An
archy Scare Recalled.

archy Scare Recalled.
"Chicago is so thoroughly recovered
from the anarchy scare" said an attorney
while waiting for the court to arrive
THAT it can afford to laugh at many
things that happened about ten years ago.
Il remember that about year before
, the Haymarket bomb was thrown the
town was considerably worked up over the
anarchist meetings on the lake front, the
professions with red banners and all that.
There was considerable talk about the So
cial revolution, and the leaders of the
movement were becoming very prominent.
Zone morning when l camo down town
/ noticed on the walls and fences big post
ers showing blood red flag with the word
Bread across it in white letters. There
was something very significant in the de-
sign-the red flag of anarchy and the
threat of blood behind the demand for
bread. Every one on tho car was talking
about the posters and seemed to think it
was pretty serious matter.
''Well, sir, those things had been put all
over town during that one night 1t
seemed as If there must have been a thor
ough organization of the revolutonists to
put up so many of the posters. remem-
Der that one or the prominent anarchists
was interviewed as to the meaning of the
red flags and the demand for bread.
HE said it meant that the social revo-
luton was at hand; that the workmen
were organized and would get bread for
themselves and their families even if they
had to destroy the capitalistic class to get
it, He said the bread placards were simply
put up to give the capitalists warning
"A few mornings after that more post
ers bearing red flags appeared in all parts
of town, but this time each flag bore the
words 'Aerated Bread
/ The whole thing was scheme to ad.
vertise n new kind of bread being baked
by II. II. Kohlsaat, who was then the big
baker of the town, although he had not
become so well known as he is at present.
1t didn tappear that he intended to fright
en- any ono. He simply chose a novel
method of advertising his improved bread,
and people were ready about that time to
attach a dark significance to anything that
was red.
But the attempt of the anarchist lead
ers to adopt Mr.. Kohlsaat's aerated bread
scheme was one of the most amusing in,
cidents of the entire scare. "-Chicago

COMPOSITIONS IN PRISON.
Confinement Did Not Apparently Disturb
These Men of Letters.

These Men of Letters.
Imprisonment of the learned, whether
legal or illegal, does not seem to have dis
turbed the man of letters in the progress
of his studies.
1t was in prison that Boethius composed
his excellent book on the "Consola
of Philosophy" and Grotius wrote his
Commentary on St. Matthew" during
his confinement.
While in the dungeon of a monastery in
Portugal, Buchanan composed his excel
lent "Paraphrases on the Psalms of Da-
vid."
"Fleta," we'll known and excellent
law production, was written by man
confined in an English prison for life. His
name, however, was not preserved.
During his confinement for five years
on account of some state troubles Poisson
pursued with ardor his studies in the
Greek language and produced several good
compositions
The best and most agreeable book in
the Spanish language was composed by
Michael Cervantes during his captivity in
Barbary.
When Louis XII was Duke of Orleans
he was taken prisoner at the battle of st.
Aubin and confined in the tower of
Bourgcs. While there he applied himself
to his neglected studies, with the result
that he subsequently became an able and
enlightened monarch.
Margaret, queen of Henry ", king of
France, while confined in the Louvre,
warmly pursued the studies of elegant lit
erature and composed very skillful apol-
ogy for the irregularities of her conduct.
During his confinement Sir Walter RAJ
leigh produced his History of the World.
Queen Elizabeth, while imprisoned by
her sister Mary, wrote some very charm
ing poems, and Mary. queen of Scots,
during her long confinement by Elizabeth,
produced number of pleasing compost
tions.
1t was while he was cruelty confined at
Holmsby that Charles wrote that excel
lent book entitled Tho Portrait of a
King" which he addressed to his son and
in which the political reflections are said to
be worthy of Tacitus By some this work
has been attributed to DIR. Gander, a
blatant Radical Of that period, but who
was incapable Of writing single para
graph of it-New York Mercury.

No More Singing.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody was
to be heard all over the country. The la
borer going home to bed through the vines
sang his stornello or his rispetto to the
sleeping fields The boy who drove his
yoked oxen or cows in the big square cart
beguiled the way with song, joyous or am
orous. The guitar and the mandolin were
heard at dusk at every farmhouse door,
and in the streets of the town youths went
singing and playing till the moon was
high.
There was music all over the land, along
the hedgerows as in the city lanes, under
the poplars and mulberries as beneath the
walls of citadel and baptistry. How many
O time at sunset or in the starlight have /

paths. Now rarely are these wood notes

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

NOvelists Complain That Modern Young
Men Are Dark Haired.
Where has the fair haired laddie gone?
A lady novelist, writing to a contempt
rary, complains that the golden haired
youth is fast becoming extinct, and that
heroes of fiction, to be true to nature up
to date, must be endowed with dark locks.
1t was but a week or two ago that
commented on the discovery, made by an
observant schoolmaster, that red haired
boys were now comparatively rare, so we
are presumably reaching an era when the
Saxon type of man will no longer exist.
This is regrettable from a picturesque
point of view, but there seems little reason
why the novelist should be exercised by
the disappearance of the blond male from
our midst. 1t is my firm opinion that if
the matter could be put to the vote it
would be found that the majority of girls
who are of course the largest consumers
of fiction-prefer the hero with soft, dog
gy" brown eyes and blue black hair to the
insipid llaxen polled and blue eyed lover
But in any case there is no reason why
tho novelist should not give his or her
readers what they like and if fair haired
men really are SO scarce and really are ad
mired it will be all the more agreeable to
meet with them in fiction instead of COM
monplace dark men such as one enCoun-
tiers in real life. -Lady's Pictorial.

Origin of Punch and Judy.

Boys and girls, old and young, who en-
joy immensely the frivolities of a Punch
and Judy show will be glad to learn that
the exhibition has a serious side as well as
a comic one-is, in fact direct lineal de-
scendant of the ancient miracle plays
which our ancestors were fond of some six
or seven centuries ago. At least that is
the opinion of tho Rev. G. r. Woodward
who on Saturday delivered lecture en-
Ancient Carols in the chapter house of
St. Pauls to members of the Plainsong
and Medieval Music society. He con-
tended that the modern Punch and Judy
show, with it's tambourine, drum and
pipe, represented the triumph of virtue
over vice. Punch is very like Pons, or
Pounco (Pontius) plate, Judy was in
tended for Judas the traitor, or for Judith
who slew Holfernes and Toby was evil
IDENTIFY the dog mentioned in the book of
Tobit. He therefore discarded the Italian
derivation of the word and held that the
modern form of the old religious show was
simply corrupted edition of a miracle
play which had Pontius PLATE as its hero

ROYAL SERVANTS.
Those of Queen viCtoria's Household Havs
an Easy Time of 1t.

Queen Victoria's household is large
one, consisting of just under !, 900 per-
sons, for the maintenance of whom the
nation sets apart the sum Of SO, 500 900
every year Most of tho posts are sine
cures or fixtures for life.
In the carly part of Queen Victoria's
reign a mistress of the robes may possibly
have done few hours happy work in the
year. giving orders that the apparel of the
Eovereign should be carefully preserved
from moth and dust, renewing the regal
ermine, velvet and lace at stated times
and seeing that the crown jewels were al
ways locked up safely after a public air
ing. She could also fix her name to war
rants empowering tradesmen to sell sew
ing cotton to the royal household and al
lowing others to put up the royal arms
over their doors because their various
wares were bought by personages of illus
trious degree. Harriet Sutherland's sig
nature was almost as good an addition to
business advertisements as to the queen"
emblazoned in big gilt letters over the
shops.
Some of the posts are entirely ornamen-
tai, and others have very little duty at
tached to them. Probably the only addi-
lions to the household since the time of
Henry VIII are two steam apparatus men.
Although there is no longera royal barge
nor any pageuntry on the Thames, there
are still q bargemaSter and a waterman,
Rith salary each of $4,000 year For
the past 200 years there has been no
hawking in the forest of Windsor, but the
office of grand falconer, held by tho Duke
of St. Adams, has only been abolished
within the last few years.
There are four table deckers whose sole
duty it is to lay the dinner cloth and see
that the plates, dishes and cutlery are
fairly set forth. There is also a waxttter,
who sees the candles properly disposed,
and first and second lamplighter, who
receive the same salary as that of the poet
laureate, which is $500 year. This may
seem shabby payment, but it must be con-
fessed that most of the poets laureate have
been overpaid for the stuff supplied
Then there is the keeper of the swans, "
who annually pockets $3.50 for looking
after the sacred birds on the royal waters.
Lastly, there is the queens rat catcher"
who is especially attached to Bucking-
ham palace. His saary-S75-is provided
outside the civil list, Every session the
house of commons in committee of supply
considers this vote and gravely agrees to
it.--Detroit Free Press.
