day, had their medieval counterpart

were so numerous in Paris in 1859

our modern word "stationer"-were so
called from having fixed stations in

Georgia Gaines Hero,

A hero beside whom Alexander and
Napoleon seem paltry is the latest
discovery of Georgia Caine, who has
been in Boston with THE Earl and
the Girl Miss Caine is telling the
tale OF his martyrdom with great
gusto.
1t was at luncheon party, and the
hero was young man unaccustomed
to such things. Miss Caine had in
v1ted him to be present out of de-
sire to reclprocate some courtesy she
had received at his hands. When the
meal began, waiter set before this
youth cup of consomme. The hero
knew about soup in tureens and in
cans, but soup entasse was new to
him. Accordingly, he squinted at his
cup, concluded that the liquid was
tea, and dropped two Jumps of sugar
into it.
Dear me-" commented Miss Caine,
fancying the blunder was the result
of Observation-Disclosures You've put
sugar into your consomme."
The young man Immediately per.
ceived his mistake, but was too
game" to acknowledge that he knew
no better.
Il always take it that way" he re.
turned, blandly.
And he ate every drop.-New York

TOBACCO SMUGGLERs' TRICKS.
How Contratand Gods Are Carried In.
70 France

great effort is being made by the
French custom officials to break III
the organization of smugglers whict
EaS lately been carrying on lucra
tive AMI ever growing trade in con
traband between Belgium and France
During the last fortnight the French
custom officials have had severa
| important successes. The first was
the capture of a Belgian fishing
smack in the Straits of Dover The
vessel carried $1,000 worth OF tobacco
ms c0ntraband cargo was contiscat-
ed, the vessel seized and the owners
were fined S5000. In the same night
a SElugglers' haunt was raided at Dun
kiFk and great quantities Of tobacco
were seized.
One OF the latest devices was that
employed by man who disguised
himself as a priest. He was in the
hablt OF Joulneying from Belgian
frontier town into France every day
with large quantity Of tobacco con-
cealed under his cassock
Ee returned to Belgium, not port
ly priest. but a very lean, emaciated
individual.
The capture Of the fictitious priest
led the authorities to suspect num-
Der Of nuns who daily crossed tne
frontier into France. A careful
search had been organized, and in
four cases the supposed nun was found
to be smuggler with many pounds
of tobacco and cigars hidden beneath
her heavy black skirt.
Suspicion next fell upon the driv-
ers, firemen and guards of the trains
running between Brussels and Paris.
and for some days every train has
been carefully searched Hundreds
OF pounds of tobacco have been found
hidden among the coal on the ten
ders.
In one case the cushions of car
rlase were found to be stuffed with
tobacco. In another, passenger,
who was well known as a regular
traveller on the line. was searched.
and found to be loaded with contra
pand. IN third case an invalid, re-
posing on air cushions, was found to
be no invalid at all, and the cushions
held tobacco instead of air.
Perhaps the most gruesome discov-
cry was made when a coffin, suppos.
ed to contain the body of a French
man who died in Belgium and was be-
Ing brought back to be buried in his
native country, was searched. 1t was
found to be full of cigars.
AT the frontier towns on the roads
several ingenious tricks have been
discovered. Recently a peasant was
stopped when driving across the bor-
der with load of vegetables and sn
aged relative The relative was found
to be a dummy figure stuffed with to-
bacco, and the vegetables had their
centres cut out and replaced with to-

SKINS OF WILD ANIMALS,
Many Are Becoming Scarce and In
creasing in Value.


Skins of wild animals are daily
becoming more rare and valuable
The spread of civilization is the ex
termination OF the monarchs of the
plain, the forest. the jungle and the
hills, and their hides now ornament
many museum, clubhouse and draw
ing ROOM
The skin of the lion, the king OF
beasts, is among the most valuable OF
the rare skins 1t is kingly, even as
the great strength and courage of the
mighty form that it once protected.
The skin of the full grown lion is
about three yards long and one and
one-half yards wide. It's hair is neith-
er bright nor pretty, but its great
shaggy name crowns it like a rare
jewel and makes it valuable.
The skin Of the tiger is much pret-
tier than the skin of the lion, and it,
too. reveals the character of the beast
which it once protected. It's bearded
cheeks reveal the tigers ferocity and
cunning, and it's yellow and black
tiger stripes and its white belly tell
of the stealthy nature of the great
cat
The American jaguar furnishes
pretty skin, despite its reddish white
belly and its spots instead of stripes.
The leopard, too, has a pretty pelt. its
fur being light yellow with black
spots. The skin of the black panther
is also much admired.
Bear skins are trophies in many
civilized home. The black or the
Canadian bear is the most common.
The polar bear supplies beautiful,
soft, white, furry skin, but it is very
rare. The skin of the American griz-
Fly is now also quite rare. Although
deer and moose are common game
for hunters, yet few have succeeded
in preserving their pelts with the fur
on for any long period.
The American black wolf skin, with
white spots on it's snout and breast, is
admired by some people. The Siber-
ian wolf furnishes a fine, soft fur
skin. Among farmer lads in this
country it IS popular to catch foxes
during the winter and to tan their
skins for rugs and for ornaments, but
the fox skin today isn't by any means
as valuable as are the skin of larger
and fiercer animals, though the fox
is growing more and more scarce.
A coat of skins of reindeer fawns
only a few days old is said to be |
worth thousands of dollars. The skins |
match perfectly in color, and they
are doubled So that the coat is the |
same inside as outside. This coat is |
as light an ordinary raincoat, but |
warmer than heavy fur, and it is also

are also valuable. One skin is IA

Tricky Lions.

Some Of the most dangerous tricks Of
animals are those Of Stimulating kind
ness. Charles Montague in Tales of
a Nomad" says that hyenas often fol.
low lions and finish carcass the mo-
ment the lions have left 1t. Sometimes,
however, the hyenas are too eager and
steal bits Of meat while the lions are
still at their meal. a.
II have been told that the lion rids
himself Of the nuisance In the follow
ing way: He throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion Is looking the
other way the hyena lodges in and
rushes on with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece of meat,
this time a little nearer. The hyena
takes that also. At last the lion throws
a piece very near indeed. The hyena,
having become reckless, makes a dash
at this also, but the lion wheels round
and lays him low with a pat Of his
paw and a growl Of annoyance"

woman. has written an exact and IN
teresting account of the expedition In

CIV. is written in a manner that makes
IL as entertaining as an historical
novel. has been adopted as text
book In several schools.
While giving to the Lewis and

memorable an event deserves, MISS
Johnson has not neglected other i'm
portant events in the history of the
Pacific Northwest, and has brought
