GLASS EYES CORNEPED.
CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICERS SEIZE TEN THOUSAND
ARTIFICIAL OPTICS.

Custom House officers curious folk In the
sense Of being exceedingly inQusitive They make
many queer seizures but. perhaps never made a
more curious than made on Sunday, when
Inspector c. J. Coffey and staff officer Thomas j.
Kennedy captured ten thousand glass eyes on board
the Holland-American Line steamship Neendam'
which had Just arrived at Hoboken from Rotter-
dam. The eyes were Of assorted sizes ana OF
multtudnous coors, among which were shaues
intended TO harmonizo with the greatest var
iety of complexions. They belonged TO pas
senCer who described himself TIL. Lndner
Schultz a Swiss who had failed TO declare that he
had any dutablc goods in his possession the
officers found in his pockets 80 OF the eyes "hch
he asserted only samples.
Suspicion having been aroused the officers pro-
ceeded TO search the passengers trunk, IN whch,
concealed by a false bottom and neatly wrapped
IN tissue paper they found the ten thousand arti-
hclal optics. Having seized the deceptive COMMON
ties the officers turned seize Mr. Schultz but ne
was not there having dexterousy mingled win 'he
crowd and disappeared thereby avoiding arrest ior
attempted smuggling. Mr.. Schultz left no auu'css
with the officers His name does not appear IN the
civ directory and his present whereabouts Is uh-
known by the Custom House authorities.
The in1port duty on glass eyes is 40 per cent ad
va alorem but the amount due on those sezeu Is "o'
known as they have not yet been ofhciahv aP-
PRAISED As a penalty of five years in State prison
and fine Of g 900 may be imposed for smugeHns'
and the duty is nearly half the value OF the goods
Tho officials think It unlikely that Mr.. Schultz VIII
return to claim his property.
When tbe seizure was made, one waggish reporter
remarked: mo wonder that the man was detected
when so many eyes were on him" Another thought
that the Government had captured enough OF the
artificial optics to corner the glass eye market.

THE CLOUDBURST IN ISERE.
-REAT DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE RISE
OF THE RIVER NORGE.

ESCAPES AND HEROIC REsCUEs-A FAMILY
OF SIX REPORTED TO HAVE


BEEN LOST.
Paris June THE latest details from Grenooie'
in the Department OF Isere. show that the desola-
lion wrought by the cloudburst. which caused the
River Norge TO overflow its banks. IS far more

sand from the mountains into the valley. over
wheming houses buryng cattle and destroying
other property. In many villages the fleeing In
habitants left everything behind them.
Almost all the riverside factories were destroyed,
and no fewer than five hundred workshops were
wrecked. The town OF V0iron presents a lament
able appearance. All the bridges gone and the
streets filed with masses OF debris washed out
from the factories and shops. bales Of cloth, rolls
IF silk and similar manufactured products; while
the roads of the and tho district round about
are simply impossible and chOked with rocks and
fallen trees or quilted with great washouts.
Voiron Is without gas the gasworks have
been destroyed Many Of the principal merchants
are absolutely ruined and thousands of workmen
are not only without employment. but without
shelter.
So sudden was the thrush of the waters that
hundreds barely escaped with their lives In many
OF tho cafes and shops the occupants were up to
their shoulders In water before they knew what
had happened
1t Is reported that family OF six pershed, but
thus far only two bodies have been found. Many
stories are told of heroic rescues.
Along the whole valley the harvest Is completely
destroyed and the farms themselves are all more
or less damaged As the waters slowly subside
they leave behind great stretches OF mud In which
the soldiers. aided by the inhabitants are working
ccaselessy at cutting channels to allow the waters
gathered In hoilows to return TO the river.
The municipal authorities have decided TO blow
up the dam at Casellon TO facilitate the escape OF
houses. especially at Moirans where buildings are
constantly coapslng.

 And just here, Mir Editor, our time was up, and so much more to be seen. We reluctantly hurried to the train. We had been told that week would be re- quired to see Washington. We are sure that
 A SEASON WOULD BE TOO SHORT. We endeavored to work systematically and see all we could in the secular day and a half which was ours. We noted the buildings that we had not time to enter, as the Court House, the Postoffice department, Ford's theatre, now the Lincoln Museum, and others. We were charmed with the wide and ample beauty of the city and it's perfect pay ings. We hope there will be, if there is not already, suitable statue erected to L'Infant, who laid out upon so generous a plan our National capital. Our glimpse of darkey life, especially about the great market, was amusing. We were nained to see so many white negroes with pretty faces and gentle manners. The negro seems to be desirous to sho" his equality; especially upon street cars, where he will squeeze himself in between ladies who take it mildly, as if there is no help for it. It seemed to us para disc for elderly people. In the depart ment, certain honor is attached to those who have been many years in their positions. We noticed,!t ,!too,a prom thence given to the older men in the churches.

 Dr Shakespeare of Philadelphia states that fully one-fifth of all the deaths of infants and children feeding on ordinary milk are due to tuberculosis, commenc- ing in some part of the digestive track. Dr Hamaker of Meadville, Pa., states that since tuberculous cows have been eliminated from the herds supplying the city with milk there is great deal less disturbance of the digestion of children than formerly.
 A great many farmers and cattle dealers during the last year or two have been condemning this tuberculosis law which they ought not to do for the State has only Wlsned Co Ienu HeIpIhs h0no to the farmers in their struggle for !freedom from this evil.

recent years that the medical and yeter- mary profession have come to regard milk as an important item in the etioiogy of this disease. Dr Sternberg says more common mode of infection, eg- pecially in children, is probably by way of intestinal glands from ingestion of
 milk from tuberculosis cows. Infection from this source has been proved and
 the aBacilli'' found in milk by such
 careful experimenters as Dr Bollinger in
 Germany; also by Dr Ernst in Boston.
 This revelation of Bacilli of tubercul-
 osis in the milk of cows is of recent
 dates. Formerly when the disease was considered purely hereditary. It was a visitation of God when "Bacilli Tuber cleo was discovered and the diagnostic agent tuberculin. Now since we can
