Industrious digger can earn as much as

even children can earn few shillings
day; but, as the gumfields offer a ref
uge for all sorts and conditions of men,
many who are old and intirm resort to
them, and so the average earnings are
reduced to fl los. or f. week. The
gum is used principally in the manu-

that never die. AS for the 400 loaves
OF bread and 5000 rolls required daily,
the chef does not worry his mind over

ovens and staff of bakers needed to
supply the simple item Of bread or con-

must not forget the item Of eggs.
Eighteen thousand are required every
twenty-four hours. Boiled eggs do not
get overdone. They are boiled by clock
work. A perforated dipper containing
the eggs drops down into the water.
The dipper's clockwork Is set to the
second, and when that final second has
expired the little dipper jumps up out
of the water, and the eggs are ready
for delivery. There are men who do
nothing else but fill and watch and
empty these dancing clippers, and 1t
seemed to me great fun.

baskets lower the pieces into various
solutions of potash and clean rinslng

SUCCESSFUL SMUGGLER.
The Schemes He Worked to Deceive

The Schemes He Worked to Deceive
the Customs officials.
There Is money In smuggling" said
| the retired dealer In precious stones as
he leaned back, but 1t is dangerous to
carry on the business, as possible sus
poets are carefully watched and, If nee
essary, traced till they are finally
caught. However, | knew one man
who pursued the trade of diamond
smuggling for fifteen years and was
able to retire to responsibility. He
was buyer for one Of the large business
houses In New York, and his business
sent him to Europe two, three and
sometimes four times a year. Every
time he returned he had with him from
10000 to $4,000 worth of gems which
he did not declare.
His trick was perfect simplicity
combined with ingenious holiness. His
hair was scanty, and ut the top of his
head he had most delightful little
bald spot. Customs officers as they
came and went all knew him, and as
they knew him he had a most pro-
nouneed wen where his other acquaint-
ances saw bald spot. That wen was
work of art, made of wax aud gum,
and 1t contained two or three big stones
that would have been find for the
men on the pier.
1.-THE good cigar that he had just lit
and allowed to go out held few more,
and sewed in the handle of the grip
that he carelessly turned over to the
inspection of the officers were the rest
Of them. He never varied the trick,
and he never lost. Each trip was worth
n couple of hundred dollars to him and
a great many hundred more to those
who employed him. Now, that man
| considered himself strictly honest. He
| would not steal cent from an indi
vidual, yet he schemed and plotted t,
rob the government. New York Press
