One Way of Smuggling Diamonds,

"All this talk about smuggling re-
sails some of the things L learned
when 1 was in the service, announced
retired crook catcher the other day.
"New ways of beating the Government
are being devised right along, and
many of the tricks 1 discovered are
old now. There used to be more
trouble with the diamond smugglers
than there appears to be at present. I
have found the sparklers in women's
back hair, hat ornaments, followed
shoe heels, and sewed up in various
articles of wear; in dog collars, in
horses hoofs. in fruits and vegetables,
in trunks with false bottoms, in pipes
and cigars, in canes, on the necks of
carrier pigeons, and even buried in
mems flesh after the manner of the
Kaffir diamond thieves.
"But the man who did the slickess
business, without ever being sus-
pected, told me about it afterwards.
He was retired detective, who had
served with great credit. Shortly be-
fore resigning he claimed to have re-
ceived a beautiful diamond ring with
three very large stones from New
Yorker for whom he had been able to
save good deal of money. 1t was
certainly magnificent ring, and the
matter was duly exploited in the
papers. He professed to be doing a
private business that took him across
the river frequently, and he would
often use the ferry three or four times
day. He always wore the dazzling
ring, and looked at it every day for
months. Yet that fellow was making
big money smuggling diamonds.
"How? Why, he had paste ring
made exactly like the genuine one. He
would wear the paste one over, leave
it to be set with diamonds, wear them
back, have them replaced with paste,
and thus carry on the game right be.

suspected the rascal. Detroit Free

AT New Milton, Penn, two merry
cowboys and four black bears took
part in little impromptu Wild West
performance which was free to all the
farmers who We're lucky enough to
witness it. The cowboys belonged to
q circus which was stalled there, and
the four black bears belonged to the
mountains. They met on the highway
about four miles from the village.
The cowboys were mounted, but were
armed only with their lariats. The
bears, apparently recognizing some
fallen ancestor in the long, hairy
''chaps" which incased the legs of the
cowboys, turned and sprinted up the
road, with the ranchmen in hot pur-
suit.
simultaneously the cowboys drew
their lariats, and, swinging them
swiftly through the air, each brought
down his bear. One was caught
around the neck and was soon strangled.
The others, however, was held only by
one hind paw and gave his captor n
hard fight. The cowboy was compelled
to dismount, snub his rope around a
tree and then get half hitch around
the brute's neck before he would con-
cede his defeat. The other two bears
escaped to the mountains. New York

The proper care of irons is not so
well understood as it should be-
Dampness and dust should be espe-
cially guarded against, and, in fact,
the whole ironing outfit should be
kept in special closet, and the irons
covered when not in use. Rubbing
with lard and beeswax will only part
ly restore rusted irons. At long in
tervals thorough washing with warm
water, and a careful drying afterwards
will greatly improve irons. Never
heat them on the same stove where
cooking is going on, especially frying,
as they will not only become spotted
with grease, but will communicate the
odor to the clothes.
Always keep plenty of iron-holders
on hand which may be made quite
bright and ornamental if one chooses
to put few extra stitches ON them -

IMPURITIES I'M FOOD.
Extent of Adu1teration Beyond All
Ordinary Conception.

Ordinary Conception.
The San Francisco board OF health
has now entered actively upon the in
vest.gation of food adulterations, and,
though the investigations have not, rs
yet, been carried far, the results oh.
tanned are certainly startling. OF
thirty-three samples OF currant jelly
offered for sale, for instance. the an
alyZ.ng chemist has discovered only
nine that We're pure, Samples OF cat.
sup and other articles of common use
have been found to be adulterated
with substances injurious to health,
and tho Inference is that, when such
large percentage is found among ar
ticles thus taken at haphazard, an i'm.
mense field for the activity of the
board OF health will be discovered as
the investigation proceeds. The adult.
eratiorS are found, not in the stores of
the smaller and more obscure grocers
alone, but also in those Of the most
prominent and leading firms in the
city.
Iii these imitation jellies the most
prominent substance used for purposes
of adulteration is glucose, which, be-
ing far less expensive than sugar, re-
duces the cost of production and in
creases the profit while the selling
price is cheapened. Glucose, though
popularity supposed to be harmless, is
one of the most injurious articles of
adultcration. 1t is formed by boiling
corn starch with sulphuric acid and
mixing the product with lime. 1t
would be difficult to imagine a more
pernicious compound. even when taken
in infctesimal doses. Tie importa.
tions Of glucose increased tenfold dur
ing the two years from 1873 to 1877,
and the rate of increase has been
discontinued merely because the pro-
cess of production is simple one and
extensive establishments for it's man.
ufacture have been started in the
Western States.
There is hardly an article of general
consumption that may not be adulter.
dted to a greater or less extent, and
the profits of adulteration are sufficient
to attract the cupidity OF large
numbers of manufacturers who look
only TO the profits they may make in
their business. In the manufacture of
baking powders, alum. costing three
cents pounG may be substituted for
cream Of tartar, costing thirty or more
cents. and. without chemical analysis,
the substitution can not be discovered
save by the dyspepsia, collie, and
heartburn with which the victims are
afflicted. Teas are artificialIy colored
with poisonous substances, and cof-
fees are adulterated with chicory,
which in turn is adulterated with
injurious materials

Detecting Icebergs.

One way in which the crew of an
ocean steamer detect the fact that they
are nearing the neighborhood of ice
bergs is by observing the action OF the
propeller. The water surrounding the
vicinity of icebergs is much colder than
ordinary for considerable distance
around, and when the vessel enters
water Of such a reduced temperature
the propeller runs faster. When this
action is perceptibly increased without
the steam power being augmented,
word is sent up from the engine room
to the officer on the bridge, and a cIcse
lookout is kept.

Soup For Breakfast.

In London two months ago Henry

fast, and the first thing on the menu
was soup He told them that the

adopted the idea from the French, and
that all London was rapidly taking up
the custom. Mr.. White sets the pace
for Americans over there, and whether
or not he entertains all of his country.
men who are focking to the Queens
jubilee, he can introduce enough OF
them to this new fad to cause the
whole outfit to come back horss singing
its praises.
1t is really one of the most sensible
gastronomic innovations one can
imagine. Soup, when properly made,
is both soothing and stimulating. The
overtaxed stomach of the average
American needs both to be soothed and
stimulated the first thing in the morn
ing. Therefore we look for the soup
idea to become Immediately popular
when it is brought over by our tour

name for it, as the fashionable folk of
this country are afraid to risk their
standing among the gourmets by eat

Cucumber Salad-Pare and slice the
cucumbers into a bowl of ice or very
cold water, and let them stand half an
hour. Drain them, sprinkle lightly
with salt, cayenne pepper and a gill of
vinegar. Some persons are i'll the
habit of slicing cucumbers into salted
water, with the idea that they are more
wholesome, but this is great mistake,
as it willis them and renders them
tough and indigestible.
Summer Pudding-Soak teacup of
bread crumbs in a quart of new milk
for twenty minutes. Beat the yolks of
four eggs with cup of sugar, and stir
in the milk; flavor with lemon extract
Pour into pudding pan, and bake in
moderate oven half an hour. Whip
the whites of the eggs until frothy,
thicken with powdered sugar, and beat
stiff. Put on layer of the meringue,
set in the oven one minute Set away
to cool over night, and serve for dinner
with cold cream sauce,
Green Pea Soup-Boil pint of
shelled peas and their pods in three
pints of water into which is put u
knuckle of nice, sweet ham. When
the liquoris reduced one half, drain
it off into another saucepan, to which
remove the ham also. Take all pods
from the peas, mashing the latter to a
mash. Add to them one tablespoon
full of butter, one-fourth saltspoonful
of black pepper, half-pint of milk; add
to the liquor, let it boil up twice, then
pour in tureen, over sippets of toast.
Creamed Onions - Put q dozen
onions in pan of cool water, and take
off their skins. Put them in a sauce
pan of boiling water with teaspoon
full of salt, and boil them until tender.
In the meantime melt in small
saucepan tablespoonful of butter,
add tablespoonful of -four, and when
it froths stir in half a pint of milk,
stirring until it boils; now drain the
onions, pour this sauce over them
and set them where they will only sim.

A Country without Domestic Animals.
Japan is land without the domes-
tic animals. 1t is this lack which
strikes the stranger SO forcibly in
looking upon japanese landscapes.
There are no cows-the Japanese
neither drink milk nor eat meat.
There are but few horses, and these
are imported mainly for the use of the
foreigners. The freight cars in the
city streets are pulled and pushed by
coolies, and the pleasure carriages are
drawn by men. There are few dogs,
and these are neither used as watch.
dogs, beasts Of burden, nor in hunt
ing, except 10y foreigners. There ara
no sheep in Japan, and wool is not
used in clothing, silk and cotton being
the staples. There are no pigs-pork
is an unknown article of diet, and lard
is not used in cooking Wild animals
there are, however, and, in particular,
bears of an enormous size.-Philadel-
