The Duty Paid.

According to the custom house officers
the incident occurred about two months
ago, and as a result of the visit Mr..
Schwab paid $3.50 in duties on the dia-
monds. which were cut, but came into
the country unset, their foreign value be-
ing $500.
Mr.. Schwab readily admitted that he
was the possessor of the gems. but said
that he had not imported them. The Gus
toms officers said today that the informa-
ton that the diamonds had been import
ed came from one OF the special Treasury
agents stationed abroad. 1t did no. be-
come clear whether Mr.. Schwab had or
dered them from abroad or had bought
them on their arrival here
Returned the Gems.
On his payment of the duty the gems
were returned to him. They are described
as three blue diamonds. cut, one marouise
shape, one pear-shape, and one egg
shape. Mr.. sehwab declined today to talk
about the case
This, it was said at the custom house

to arise and stop 1t, the result is often

lays throughout the day. This objec-
tion has led 10 the designing of the
continuous ringing alarm. Of which
several are already in use. The cleo
tric alarm, which we show in the &C.

patented by Simon Wolf of Essen,
Germany. and has at least one novelty
TO recommend it. 1t is directly con-
nccted to the bed, and it is impossible
for the sleeper to stop it until he gets
up to stay. Underneath the bed is a
series of contact points, one Of which
is shown in the picture, the weight
of the person forcing them together. \
clock is used i'm connection with the
apparatus. and as soon as the hour Of
rising is indicated the remaining open
ing or break in the wire is closed, the
current passing through the contact
points underneath the bed and causing
the hell to ring continuously until the
sleeper by leaving the bed. breaks the
circuit. Should he lie down again the
circuit is again completed and the bel
rings until the second rising.

Economy In Eeching.

Economy in feeding is TO sell all
produce that brings a fair price in
market and buy the cheaper by-prod-
ucts Corn at fifty cents per buShel
may he sold 10 advantage if bran,
middlings linseed meal. CottOnsoed
meal and gluten meal can be pur-
chased at So per ton, as the corn
would give a profit on such an eX-
change. \ pound Of linSeed meal is
worth more than two pounds of corn
ls food, rs the linseed meal contains
more protein and mineral matter. The
same may be claimed for bran and
middlingS. They are more complete
as foods than corn or oats, though
corn and oats may also be added to
the ration for some kinds Of stock.
Where the farmer makes a large gain
by the exchange, however, is in the in
creased value Of the manure. The by
products being In a fine condition re-
quire no grinding, and when fed in
