WORRY At CUSTOM HOUSES.
Women should Know the Law De-
fore They Travel Alone.

II there is one thing more than another
which makes woman wish that she had
never been born under the stars and
stripes, it is the annoyance and worry en-
tailed upon her through the customs in
spection when she returns from Europe
for the first time.
The discomfort begins about the time
the lightship is sighted-it may be the
day previous. Everybody asks everybody
else for advice. Old travellers swap cX-
periences harnssing and diSconcerting
the green traveller with grewsome tales
of these ogres, the customs officials.
Signing the declaration down the bay
as TO what is dutiable and what is not
first introduces you to them. 1t is not a
happy moment. You are not yourself
The tales of the old travelcrS-more often
the wide margin which they have left
for the tales untold-have worked you
into a state bordering on nervous fren-
zy, and you are almost convinced that
You yourself must be a real live "sus-
pect" for whom the authorities have long
been looking.
There is so little defniteness to the law
regulating clothing ii is difficult to know
whether or not you ought to declare old
dresses bought in America four years
ago and renovated in Paris, with the ad-
dition of a little new trimming. OF
course, 1t is presupposed that no portion
Of your dress has been utilized for stor-
ing away questionable articles.
One regulation gives you your first
help. Presents must be declared, no
matter how small their value. The term
is elastic, however, and does not need to
include anything which can be used by
yourself Paying the duty on your pres
ents settles the question.
Another secret Of success lies in your
smile. II you have Travelled much on the
continent and looked after your own bag
gage, you have learned the value Of q
smile-a distinctly feminine smile, bear
ing good will TO man. 1t is a great lever
and as useful in New York as abroad.
Again, it is necessary that you be
among the very first in signing your
declaration, before the official is worn
out by the idiotic and evasive answers
Of both men and women, for when the
question comes Of declaring nothing duti-
able among ones baggage men as well
as women are given TO evasion.
Once on the wharf the same rapidly
must be used in getting your baggage to-
gether and then securing your inspector
while he is still in a good humor. 1t Is
well to remember that this inspector uses
his own judgment 10 a great extent. The
thing is to make his Judgment and your
own agree. He looks you over and de-
cides what sort Of clothing suits you and
then examines your trunk to see whether
you and its contents harmonize If you
have declared your presents you must
show one or two OF them and state the
price of each. When the duty is paid,
you walk of while the examinations are
but just beginning.-New York Herald.

w1ne as II Is Served In Some New
York Restaurants.

Il noticed" said the ohServant Cleve-
land man who recently returned from a
trip. that probably 80 per cent Of the
patrons Of the better class of New York
restaurants drink wheat least they call
it wine. 1t comes in bottles and is sour.
Perhaps wine is as good a name as can
be devised for it. Anyway they throw it
in with the rest OF the table d'hote menu.
Il don't care for any wine | said to
the waiter one day as he put pint bot
tie before me. He spread out his hands.
They were fat hands and not overclean.
'Eet makes no deeference whateffer,' he
politely said. But il m'Sieur will drink
eet he viii confer &c lasting favor. We
have too large of zee stock. and We are
anxious TO r-r-reduce.' Then he went
away and brought me another bottle.
"a man who looked reliable told me
one day that there was down town res
taurant where they give you wine with
table d'hote for 80 cents: without wine,
33 cents. It's cheaper to take the wine.
he said. 1t disguises the taste Of the
dinner
1T is undoubtedly true that nobody
ever became intoxicated on table dhote
wine, but | have no hesitation in bcliev-
ing that a man might get dreadfully acid
ulated if he drank enough Of it. | don't
know how much enough would be, and
never heard of anybody who had the pa
tience TO try the experiment. At the
same time it is certainly true that the res
taurant proprietors seek to produce
taste for wine in their patrons. In sew
eral Of the higher class places the menu
bears the following warning: Guests
who do not order wine will be charged
% per cent extra When caught sight
of this announcement, said to the wait
er, 1t is against my principles to drink
wine. He shrugged his shoulders and
coldly replied, We also haf our principles,
m'sieur.'
"They always call you 'm'sieur,' no
matter what dialect they speak. An Irish
waiter on Forty-second street who asked
me in a highly threatening manner IL
the clans were good, was particular TO
address me as 'mucheer.' The clans were
bad, but he was a large and belligerent
waiter, and hastened 10 assure him that
| wasn't hungry for clans
"'Ve also haf our principles, m'sieur,'
said the waiter in the high priced restau-
rant. l hesitatcd, and just then a kind
hearted stranger on the opposite side Of
the table helped me out Of the dilemma.
Leaning forward. he said in a hoarse
whisper: Order the wine, and I'll drink
1t. You can be true to your principles,
and I'll be true to mine

Wrong Man Got His Nickel.

A 5-year-old boy boarded a street car at
Craig street with his mother a few days
ago. He was an important little chap,
and his mother gave him a nickel with
which 10 pay his fare. He was very par
ticular In his inquiries as to who to pay
the money to, and the uniformed conduct
or was pointed out TO him. The conduct
or came along presently and took his
nickel. An old man sitting next to him
gave the conductor a dime, and the latter
gave him the little boys nickel in change.
The child was perfectly astounded. lie
gazed at the old man a moment as though
wondering how any one could be so un-
just; then he burst into tears.
Mamma" he sobbed, Il des gave the
pliceman my nickel, and that old man
stuck it in his pocket"
Nothing would satisfy the lad. His
mother gave him another nickel to solace
him, which he promptly wanted the con-
ductor TO take. Finally the offending old
man gave him back his first nickel, re-
ceiying another from the conductor, and
the ride was finished in harmony

Menu Of n japanese Beauty.

The satin skinned, almond eyed flower
Of Japan is very fastidious about her
food and does not suffer like her Cau-
casian sister from Indigestion. She be-
gins in the morning when she awakes by
eating two little green plums picked in
vinegar and rolled in sugar. \ cup of
tea completes this almost traditional
breakfast of Japan. The dinner is Of the
drollest composition. 1t is brought in on
a tray Of red lacquer in microscopic cups
with covers and consists Of a hashed
sparrow, a stuffed prawn, seaweed with
q sauce, a salt sweetmeat and a sugared
chill.
After all these dishes, which are a
mere make believe, a wooden bowl is
brought in, bound around with copper
and filed to the very brim with rice
plainly cooked in water. The flower Of
Japan fills another large bowl from ii,
darkens its snowy white surface with a
black sauce favored with fish, mixes 1t
all together, carries the bowl to her lips
and Grams down all the rice, shoveling
II with her two chopsticks into her
throat. And so ends the dinner.-Boston

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard OF
appendicitis, nervous prostration, or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean ont the system and stop
fermentation Of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower in liquid form,

matter with you. Get Green's Prize AL

A ROUGH OBJECT LESSON.
The Drastic Method by which n
Lawyer Convinced n Judge.

NJ. II. Chetwynd OF Philadelphia, In
commenting on case where a sane per
son was released by the courts from an
asylum where he had been illegally con-
fined. told the following story: About
20 years ago lawyer OF prominence
got into a controversy ON this very point
with an equally well known judge. The
lawyer maintained that II was the easiest
thing in the world 10 get n sane person
confined in an asylum. The judge, while
admitting that il might be possible, held
that il would be very difficult and that
the dilicLidcs would increase in proper
ton to the position in society OF the in-
tended victim.

munity presents no obstacle said the
lawyer. Why turning suddenly TO his

laughed aloud at the absurdity Of the
idea.
"And the discussion for the nonce was
dropped .

stopping short time later at station.
the lawyer suggested TO the judge that
they stretch their legs on the platform.
They had not got ten feet from the train
when the lawyer suddenly hurled himself

cried aloud for help. A half dozen by

Washington. Dec. 12.-The Schley
court of inquiry is nearing the end of
it's labors, and while it is impossible
to secure from the members or from
the navy department statement as
to when the report will be submitted,
it is believed that it cannot be delay
ed more than "a hours. It was said
in the department at the close of Of
fee hours, that the report was nearly
finished. 1t is the intention of Secre-
tary Long to have typewriter copies
of it prepared Immediately for the
press.
Although clothed with reviewing au-
thority Secretary Long has said that
he will not exercise it in this case.
The report will be given to the pub
lie without the slightest change and
without any endorsement in the ma
ture of a review of the proceedings.
The court was again in session today,
though Admiral Dewey did not attend
the afternoon meeting. Captain Lem
ly, the judge advocate Of the court,
paid a visit to the court room this
morning, and carried away some pa
pers, which, while connected with
the case. were not the report of the
court. He has not yet signed the re-
port, as he expects to do.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 12-The rela-
tions between Chill and the Argentine
Republic are strained. Chilli has not
yet answered the demand of the STRAIT
egic roads in the litigated territory.
The Chilian answer to this question
will be given tomorrow. The Argen-
tine government believes that the
Chilian answer will be satisfactory
but part Of the press doubts this. In
the meantime both countries are takN
ing protective measures. In case
tine will withdraw her minister from
Santiago de Chill and the antecedents
in the history of the misunderstand-
ing will be forwarded to Great Bri-
tain for arbitration. Chill is busily en-
gagged in buying warships, aiming to
surpass the power of Argentines fleet.
Commercial interests here hope that
the influence of the pope will prevent
conflict of arms between the two
countries. There have been no war
like manifestations, but the press are
united in support of the government.

pers published here unanimously

tude.
