About One Out of Every Ten Professional
Smugglers Is Caught

About One Out of Every Ten Professional
SmuggIers is Caught
Some amusing anecdotes are related
in connection with the recent discov-
cries of smugglers' tricks A few
years ago an individual in an eccle-
siastical costume used to cross the
frontier from Switzerland into France
every morning with a large breviary
in his hand. He was a man of digni-
fed aspect, and received every mark
of Difference from the custom officers,
who sometimes accom- mpanied him part
of the way in his daily stroll. At last
letter put the authorities on the
alert, and the presumed priest was
found to be a professional smuggler,
who had contrived to introduce into
France at least thousand watches in
his brcviary, which, on, examination,
proved to be tin box
Very curious also was the experience
of former inspector-general of GUS
toms here. During a visit to Geneva
he bought a clock and instructed the
vender to forward 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 noted on his arrival at his home
was this identical piece in his drawing
room. and in reply to his questions his
coachman explained that the trades
man had himself slowed the clock
away in the carriage. 1t is calculated
that only one out of ten professional
smuggiers is ever caught-London

At one of the London clubs two
card players were much annoyed by
the class of bore who persists in look
ing on at game and making remTrks
about it After standing the nuisance
for some time, one of the players asked
one of the spectators to play the hand
for him until he returned. The spec
tator took the cards. whereupon the
first left the room. Pretty soon the
second player followed the example of
the first The two substitutes played
for some time, when one of them
asked the waiter where the two ori-
ginal players were. They are play
ing cards in the next ROOM" was the

The late earl of Portarlington was el-

Il gracious nod from Queen Victoria at

Queer Ribs.

Two ladies were being shown the
wonders of the N-ray recently by Prof
Robinson, of Bowdoin college, and one
was looking through the other with
the Horoscope. Can YOU see the

yes, very plainly" was the answer;
'Dut | never knew before that they eN-
tended up and down" And then it was

That Terrible scourge.

Malarial disease is invariably supple
mented by disturbance of the liver, the
bowels, the stomach and the nerves. To
the removal of both the cause and its cf-
fects, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is fully
adequate. IL fills the bill'' as no other
remedy does, performing its work thor
ouglly. Its ingredients are pure and whole
some, and it admirably serves to build up n
system broken by i'll health and shorn of
strength. Constipation, liver and kidney
complaint and nervousness are conquered
by it.

Cautious Prophet.

In these days, when people are wont
to complain Of any mistake made in the
prognostications sent out from the
weather bureau, il is amusing to read
of the complaisant manner in which
Clough, in his New England Alma
mack for the year 1702 and later, pre-
dicted the weather.
Perhaps" he says, from the 18th
to the 23d of January, lit will be very
cold weather If it frese by the fireside
or ON the sunny side Of a fence at noon F"
In April he says: perhaps wet
weather il il rains. - Now fair wealth
er If the sun shines. " Windy or calm -
And in July he writes pleasantly,
IF now the weather do prove fair, peo-
pie TO Cambridge do repair.
1t appears that Mr.. Samuel Clough
knew how 70 secure himself against
criticism.

A long, slim neck is a distinguishing
feature of much Of the Peruvian pot
tery, and nearly every vessel Is orna-
mentcd with figure OF some sort, hav-
ing holes TO represent eyes and other
openings. These afford a passage for the
air forced ont by the liquid when pour
led into the vessel. By an ingenious con-
trivance the air in escaping produces n
sound similar 10 the cry of the creature
represented Thus a utensil decorated
with two M nkeys embracing each 9TH
er, ON having water poured into or from
it, would give a sound like the screech-
ing Of those animals. One decorated
with a bird would emit birdlike notes.
while a mountain cat ON one Jar would
new; snakes coiled around another
would hiss. The most curious that we
have seen was the figure Of an aged
woman. When the jar was in use, her
sobs became audible, and tears trickled
down her checks The manufacturers
seemed to have known all about atmos-
pheric pressure. DR.. lie Plongeon had
in his own collection piece that dem
onstrated this. It represented n dou-
BILE headed bird The vessel had TO be
filled through a hole in the bottom, and
yet in turning it over not a drop would

out when the jar was simply inclined.

Dear Sir-Liverpool adviees

smaller weekly movement infiu-
enced prices favorably later,

The undercurrent Is strongly
TO further advance in cotton,
and receipts continue light.
The only drawback is the un-
certainty as TO the outcome of
the election, but many contend,
however. that irrespective Of
that factor much higher prices
will prevail. Notwithstanding
this disposition little inclination
is shown by OF orators to in
crease their lines, proving their
timidity, which we know exists,
and which has caused us to adj
wise our friends TO get out of
their holdings until matters be-
come ADJUSTED, because we
think il best to be cautious.
After the election everyone can
form n better opinion, for all
outside factors will then be
eliminated from the situation.

BUSY CLIFF JEWELLERS.

Of their climate. Each morning while /
was in Hano heard the men at early
dawn go singing down the steep trail
down into the purple plain. Their qua

strange beauty. Each morning. while
it was still dark. the women woke me
by entering the room where ! lay to
grind corn. and each night went to
sleep to the regular rhy thm ~ the meal

Let it be said that there is no wom-

than among the Eavajoes. The women
are chief property holders. The house is
generally the woman's, and descent is
through her and not through the father.
The men are seldom severe in manner.
