SMUGGLING.
1t Was Considered a Legitimate Pur-
suit In Days Gone By.


A book by J. c. Wright entitled "In
the Good Old Times" throws some in
teresting light on the ways of days
gone by: "Of every three pounds of tea
it was said that two were contraband.
In fact, smuggling was considered a
perfectly legitimate pursuit. Every
body was ready to profit by it, from
the squire, who filled his cellars with
cheap wine. and his wife, who adorned
herself in cheap silks, to the shopkeep-
er, who got cheap groceries, or the la
boref, who got high wages for work
that was secret, unlawful and perilouS.
Even Adam Smith confessed to weak
ness for smuggling and nobody was
above bargaining to have a pipe or a
hogshead put in his cellar at low fig
ure But smuggling on large scale
was not carried on without bribery,
perjury, informing, violence and MUIR
DER
OF the old time London Waterman:
"He was wrapped in a wide skirted
heavy coat, a useful garment for pro-
tecting him from the cold, but not
adapted to enable him to cope with the
DULLES who assaulted the weak and I'M
protected He wore low shoes and a
big broad brimmed hat, which could be
turned up or down, worn forward or
backward. The only means of defense
which the Waterman seems to have
possessed was a staff something like
beadle's. In his left hand he carried
his lantern"
In those primitive times pins were
manufactured by hand and went
through several stages Of manufacture:
Worker No 1 formed the wire, No. 2
cut it into lengths, No. 8 smoothed it,
the fourth man made the head, the
fifth stuck il on, the sixth ground the
point, the seventh washed and dried it,
and it had to go through three more
hands after that; hence it used to be
a familiar proverb, sit takes ten men
to make pin"

Some queer judicial decisions in Vic
toria are mentioned in the Australian
Review of Reviews. A man who en-
bezzled some money from a bank has
received sentence of nearly three
years imprisonment, while man who
murdered his mother by stabbing her
to the heart received only one year, and
another man, who shot his sister and
killed her, was sentenced to only two
years. and Immediately after that a
man who wrote letter to another man
threatening to kill him received three
years Imprisonment.

Starving to Death.

Because her stomach was so
weakened by useless drugging that
she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H.
Walters, fist. Clair St., Columbus,
o., was literally starving to death.
She writes "My stomach was so
weak from useless drugs that !
could not eat, and my nerves so
wrecked that | could not sleep; and
not before | was given up to die
was induced to try Electric Bit
tiers; with the wonderful result
that improvement began at once,
and a complete cure followed. "

Fame.

1t is an indiscreet and troublesome
ambition that cares so much about
fame, about what the world says of us;
to be always looking in the faces of
others for approval; to be always anx-
ious about the effect of what we do or
say; to be always shouting to hear the
echoes ofsour own voices.-Longfellow

Filth Causes Typhoid Epidemic.

Health Officer DR.. Charles r.
Truitt, representing the Maryland
State Board of Health, after having
thoroughly Investigated the town
of Sharptown, in which one-tenth
of the population of 600 is afflicted
with typhoid, reports that the
plague is the result of allowing pig
pens and outbuildings to go un.
cleaned. There have been three
deaths within four days, and many
of the most prominent citizens are
reported in hopeless condition.

Predicts Dry Fall.

According to Director Won Herr,
mann, of the Baltimore Weather
Bureau, there has been a greater
precipitation of rainfall in Balti-
more and vicinity in the last three
months-June 1 to August 81
than any year since 1870.
The amount of precipitation dur,
ing that period this year has been
1910 inches. In 1870 during the
same period, there was 22.5S
inches. The great rainfall this
summer has been due, Mr.. Won
Herman says, to the remarkably
low barometric pressures and the
constant southerly breeze, which
brings an abundance of moisture
from the Atlantic Ocean.
"In all probability" said he,
"September will be unusually dry.
The month is generally a dry one,
and then, after so much rainfall
during the preceding months, there
almost always follows an abnor
mally dry spell. | think | may
safely predict dry fall"

The work of retaining several
hundred acres of land along the
Delaware River front, above the
Beebe boat yard, at New Castle,
will probably be begun shortly.
The plan is to bulkhead the river
front at low water mark and then
fill it in with mud dredged from
the easterly channel, where the
work of deepening the Delaware is
now going on.
