A Competent Motor,nan.

The complete power which a thor
ough1y practical and long experienced
motorman has over his trolley car was
clearly demonstrated by one of the en-
ployees of the Hestonville line in Phila-
delphia the other day. 1t was dinner
time, and several CT the cars were at
enc end of the route. Included in the
lunch of one of the motormen was q
hard boiled egg. In joking way he
said to his neighbor, Il will bet 81 that
/ can crack the shell Of this egg without
breaking the egg with the front dasher
of my car A pool was made and the
motorman reversed the current and
backed his car distance of several
yards. One of his companions stood
ON the rear platform of the car in front
and held the egg between his fingers,
with one end against the rear dasher of
the car. The maker of the bet started
his car forward at a good rate of speed
and then applied the brake. bringing the
car to dead standsti1l only when it had
to come SO close to the Cur ahead as to
hold the egg supported by both cars.
Then he again reversed the current, and
the shell was found to be neatly cracked,
but the meat Of the egg unbroken.-Ex.

Some amusing anecdotes arc related
in connect; On with the recent discoveries
Of smugglers' tricks. A few years ago
an individual in an ecclesiastical CO.'S
tune used to cross the frontier from
Switzerland into France every morning
with large breviaty in his hand. He
was a man Of dignifed aspect and re-
ceived every ozark Of Difference from the
customs officers, who sometimes accom-
panied him part of the way of his daily
stroll At last a letter put the authori-
ties ON the alert, and the presumed priest
was found to be professional smuggler,
who bad contrived to introduce into
France at least 1000 watches in his
breviary, which on examination proved
to be tin box.
Very curious also was the experience
of a former inspector general of customs
here. During visit to Geneva he bought
a clock and instructed the vender to for
ward it only when he had informed him
OF his return to Paris, adding that he
must be careful to pay the duty. One Of
the first things that he noticed on his
arrival at his home was this identical
timepiece in his drawing room, and in
reply to his questions his coachman ex-
planned that the tradesman had himself
slowed the clock away in his carriage.
1t is calculated that only one out of ten
professional smugglers is ever caught.
