WV Customs Regulations.

With a view to securing greater
courtesy and dignity in the admins
tration of the customs laws, the treas
ury department has issued a series of
instructions to inspectors, copies of
which will be furnished to each pas
senger on incoming steamers from for
eign countries. For the purpose of
customs administration, passengers
are divided into non-residents of the
United States and residents This
classification has no reference to citi-
zenship. Non-residents are of three
classes: actual residents of foreign
countries; persons who have been
abroad with fixed foreign abode for
one year or more, who elect to declare
as nOn-residents, and persons who
have been abroad for two years, with
or without fixed place of foreign
abode, who elect to declare as non-resi-
dents. Residents include all others.
There is no limit to the value of arti-
Giles which non-residents may bring in
free OF duty, explains the Youths Com
panion, provided they are articles ac-
tually accompanying the passenger,
and necessary and appropriate for his
or her use for the purposes of the
journey and present comfort and con-
venience, and not intended for other
persons or for sale. Residents may
bring in all wearing apparel and other
personal effects which they took
abroad with them, # not renodeled
abroad 70 the value Of 500, if the arti-
cles are not for sale. Under the new
regulations passengers are not re-
CURED to make oath to their declara-
tions. The offer of a bribe or a tip"
to a customs officer will continue to be
held as violation Of the law.

Der. Girl and Saloon.

A verl large mastiff at one end of
a leash and a very small girl at the
other end formed a combination which
attracted the attic ltion of a casual
pedestrian in a quiet Philadelphia
street.
The little girl doubtless thought
that she was taking the dog out for an
airing, but the big animal himself ap-
peared TO have the impression that he
was the leader of the expedition, and
beyond question, the balance of pow
er was entirely on his sides He
dragged the girl along, despite her
scolding and expostulation, at pace
which kept her ,breathless.
Suddenly, either from a whim Of
his own or because somebody had
been in the habit of taking him there,
he darted through the swinging doors
of a corner saloon. The little girl
looked Mortified, but clinging deter
minedly to her end of the leash, she
followed her charge and as the doors
swung shut behind her the casual
pedestl ian heard this eXasperated re-
monStrance:
"Oh, darnfound it! Don't you
know ladies don't go there? It's only
a place for mans!"

The cottage in East Hampton, Long
Island, where John Howard Payne
lived as boy when his father was
principal Of Clinton academy in the
village, will be preserved for many
years to come. Its site is needed to
make room for new church, and the
cottage was in danger of destruction.
An admirer of Home, Sweet Home"
has bought the building-it is more
than 200 years old-and will move it
to another site and remodel its in
terror for use as a summer home. The
outside will be unchanged, so that
those may be gratified who wish to
see the place which Payne had in
mind when he wrote, BE it ever so
humble, there's no place like home"

ROMANCE OF TOLLIS-HILL.
Faithfulness and Keen Wit Displayed
by Young Scotch Girl.

The "Tollis-hilI' cottage on Lam
mermoor, which held upon the quaint
condition that the tenant keeps a far
of whisky for the sustenance of be-
lated travellers, has another claim to
fame. A correspondent says it was
the residence of hillside Maggie, .
the wife of one Thomas Hardy, who
some 200 years ago, was tenant of this
Lammermoor farm. 1t then belonged
to an garl Of Lauderdale, who was a
political prisoner in the Tower Of
London.
Maggie" saved up the uncollected
rent, and, hearing that the earl was
in need of money, baked the guineas
in a barley hammock, and trudged all
the way to London, where she attract
ed the earPs attention by singing
'Leaden laughs and yarrow' under
the bastion where the earl was con-
fined His request that he might see
her was acceded to; and the contents
of the hammock (Which she presented
to him) enabled him to regain his
freedom.
On his return to Lauderdale he pre-
scented Maggie with silver girdle or
chain, which was handed down to her
descandants-who are known to the
writer. The girdle is now deposited
in the Antiquarian museum at Edin-
burgh.-Leader

Explosion of the Earth.

We frequently hear the theory ad-
vanced that the planets and suns ex-
plode and that our own earth might
possibly explode from pent-up forces
within. A high explosive exerts about
the limit of pressure capable Of being
exerted by gases set free and expand.
ed by the heat generated by any
chemical reaction. Such pressure,
great as it is, is far too insignificant to
explode the earth. Were the whole
great molten interior Of our globe to
be replaced by dynamite and detonat-
ed, the explosion would not lift the
earth's crust. We have but to calcu
late the weight of column of gran
lite of a height equal TO the thickness
Of the earth's crust to see that the
pressure of the crust on the molten in
ed by exploding dynamite. We have
seen that the speed of the decorative
wave is about four miles per second.
The speed of the earth in it's orbit is
four times as great, declares Hudson
Maxim, in the Independent. If, there
fore, the interplanetary space of our
solar SYSTEM were to be filled with an
explosive mixture capable of being de-
tonated and consumed with the speed
of dynamite, and if this were to be set
off just behind the earth in it's orbit,
the earth would not feel it, but would
rapidly rush away from the wave of
explosion, pass clear around the sun,
and come back again to meet it more
than six months later. 1t would take
nearly year for such a decorative
wave to reach our sun from the earth.
If the earth itself were a ball Of dyna-
mite, it would require half an hour to
explode; and if the sun were a mass
of dynamite, it would require about
two and q half days to explode.

Comets Blamed for Much.

Has this years comet affected the
weather? A century ago the answer
would have been yes. Thus, to the
charge Of the comet of 1911 were laid
the facts not only of the excellent
vintage and abundant crops of that
year, but also that wasps were then
few and flies blind, and that a shoe
makers wife in London had four chill
dren at birth. Besides such calami-
ties as invasions, pestilences> and the
like, the comets of various years were
considered responsible for many
minor tragedies, including the de-

MAKERS OF SAFES UNEASY.
Modern Science Seems to Have Made
Robbery a Trifie.

The confidence of German naanufac-
turers Of safes in the resistance of
their wares against ordinary safe
blowing operations has been rudely
shaken by the recent achievements of
q single Hnaided robber in Dresden
and other cities. The details of his
last operation are az follows:
In = hotel a room was secured,
which was situated Immediately above
the Office Of a money changer. At
night hole was pierced in the ceiling
of the ONCE. By the use Of a drill and
saw = a circular piece Of the AoorinE
was easily raised. Beneath lay q thick
layer Of cement. A small orifce was
made in this and an umbrella showed
down into the space below. The uru-
brella was attached firmly from above,
and when opened received without
noise all the fragments of cement
which were dislodged as the hole was
enlarged so as to allow of the easy
passage of a person. By means of a
rope ladder the descent was readily
made into the Office below
Next the robber brought down two
cylinders of compressed oxygen and
an acetylene generator charged with
calcium carbide and water. With these
he was able to produce a blowpipe
flame of such intensity that steel fuses
in it like lead in an ordinary gas jet.
1t required but brief space of time
to melt away SO much Of the door
that all the contents of the safe we're
accessible.
