There are duties levied on tobacco and

half pint of spirits, which also means
the same as perfume. Sugar is dutiable,

a small quantity is freely passed.
In all cases, however, these goods must
be the actual property of the passenger,
and be for his use and control. Cocoa,
coffee and tea are also dutia BILE, as are

SCULPTOR AT WORK IN JAIL.
Accused of Wife Murder, He Models
ROYAL Group for the Government.

Royal Group Tor the Government.
The Italian sculptor G. Cisariello, who
has been in prison at Naples for the last
eighteen months, has recently been al
lowed to practice his art in the prison.
The idea was suggested to him by a pos
tai card sent to him by a friend, with a
portrait of the Grown Prince of Italy
on it.
He sketched group showing the King
and Queen and the boy and made appli-
cation for modelling clay and tools and
for permission to have child of 3 years
to visit him daily to serve as model for
Prince Humbert. The tools and clay were
furnished, but the child model was re-
fused.
Cisariello went on with the work and
he has just finished it. Fellow prison
ers occasionally posed for the adult fig
ures, but he had no material for the child
except the postal card.
Notwithstanding this, the work is said
to have merit. The government has or
dered the model to be cast in bronze and
the finished work is to be set up in
front of the prison.
Cisarello's trial is expected to begin
next month.

One Patron a Year.

Charleroi Washington county, has a
Carnegie library in which there are sew
eral thousand volumes, and the property
holders are roundly taxed to support it.
It cannot be said, however, that the citi-
zens are great readers, as the report of
the librarian for the last year shows
there was one solitary patron of the IL
brary. The librarian expresses the opin-
ion that people of the town are too much
engrossed in poker, bridge whist, baseball
and roller skating to have time for books.

OLD-TIME TOOTHPICKS BEST.
Were Made of "Soft Pine" and Did Not
Endanger Gums as Present Ones Do.

Twenty-Five years ago wood toothpicks
were made of "soft pine" two and one
half inches long. flattened like wedge
at both ends, and really so soft that they
did not endanger the enamel of the
teeth or iniure the gums. The toothpicks
of today are made Of the hardest kinds
of wood, round-pointed. olunted, brittle
They hurt the teeth and gums. When a
point breaks off it is often necessary to
90 to a dentist to have it removed.

Large cargoes are discharged daily by
the fifteen or more steamers plying regu-
larly between japanese ports and Dalny,
and loaded at once into freight cars to be
transported into the interior. Whole
trains, consisting of dozens of freight
cars, laden only with -four from the Pa

Much Work Is Accomplished by J. D

One of Alaska's pioneer farmers is J.
D. Johnston of Bear Lake, near Seward,
who has taken up a homestead and is
putting it under cultivation. After two
years work he can show a comfortable,
well-built home, a dozen acres plowed,
thirty acres seeded down for pasture
and considerable part of his claim
cleared. He is successfully growing
clover and has planted many varieties
of fruit trees, berry bushes and flow
ers, most of which are thriving.

When the Wedding Ring Breaks.

When a wedding ring has worn so thin
as to break the superstitious believe that
either the husband or the wife will soon
die This may be regarded as an obvious
superstition and perhaps accounts for the
fact that wedding rings are now made
so much thicker and heavier than form
erly.-Grand Magazine.

ORIGIN OF CAMEL'S HUMP.

Did the camel develop his hump be-
cause of countless generations of burden

say so. The thoroughbred mehari, or
saddle camel of Central Algeria, which
carries no burden heavier than slim

Face Lotion.-TO freshen the skin and
prevent wrinkles use a lotion made from
three ounces of rose water and one ia
hlespoon of tincture of benzoin.
Oil Cloth Preservatives.-War some
linseed oil until it will flow readily !;
moisten a piece of flannel slightly with
the oil and rub ever the floor covering.
Rub so that tho cloth shines. but on no
account leave Il trace of oil to attract
dust.
Tooth Washes.-Two drops of cam
phor may be put on the tooth brush and
used to advantage occasionally. Pure
CASTLE soap and warm water are excel
lent, and precipitated chalk favored with
little wintergreen is also good because
it contains no grit to wear away the
enamel of the teeth.
Pantry Shelves-Do not put folded
papers on the shelves or paste paper
Hamburg along the edges, but stain and
varnish them or cover with enamel paint
according to the finish of the room. Pa
pers will gather dust and become soiled,
but bare shelves may be slightly damp,
anc kept at all times spotlessly clean.
Hot Plates for Pain-Nothing is bet
ter than dry heat to quiet pain, and the
quickest, and easiest way to apply it is
by means of common earthen or tin pie
plates heated and wrapped in wooden
cloth. They can be changed often, and
in many cases of illness relief is sure.
An old wooden shawl OF an old blanket
cut into several pieces makes the best
wrapping for the plates.
Mushroom Standardization sauce is
usually served with beef. If fresh mush-
rooms are used they must be fried in a
little melted butter and stewed in just
enough water to cover and keep from
burning, and always with the heat mod
crate. Then add to a rich brown sauce,
using one-third as much broken mush-
rooms as there is of sauce. If canned
mushrooms are used the button variety
is preferred Cut them in halves and
merely heat in the sauce.
Orange Flower Cream-Melt four
ounces oil of sweet almonds, six drains of
white wax and six drains of spermacetl
together. Add one and one-half ounces
of glycerine to two ounces of orange
mower water ana QlSSOlFe Two uIdIlls VI
borax in it. Pour slowly into the melted
fats. and stir continuously. Add fifteen
drops of oil of neroli, fifteen drops of oil
of bigarade, and fifteen drops of oil of
petit grain. This is used as a skin food.
First wash the face we'll in hot water
and good soap, rinse well in water as
hot as can be borne, and repeat the rims
