THE BIGGEST SMUGGLERS.
They Are Not the Society People Who
Get the Advertising.


Society people are supposed to be
the biggest offenders said a treasury
official. but it is simply that they get
more publicity. We had Harlem
butcher who Struggled in $1,000 worth
of jewels and then got trapped be-
cause he took an orange from the
table after lunch. He put the orange
in his pocket, and the bulge drew the
inspectors attention. He was search
ed and the jewels found.
"There was, too" he continued rem
iniscently, "a noted musician who goes
back and forth every year to Paris
and who bought n Stradivarius violin
one year. He sold his old one and
brought the famous Strad back In his
own case. covered as it was with Gus
tom stamps. Naturally the inspectors
passed it, but the musician boosted of
his violin, and dealer who went to
see 1t heard the story of its purchase
and notified us.
"There was a man from Naples who
came In with his shirt fairly' lined
with Jewels, and there are the Syrians
who smuggle in laces and handker-
chiefs, and there are the manufactur-
ers who declare half or three-quarters
In and smuggle the rest.
"There are automobile men who
bring their machines in with faxed
certificates of value, and there are
buyers of cheap jewelry who bring in
great cases of plated brooches and
bracelets, etc, with magnificent sap
phires, rubics and even diamonds set
in with bits of glass. and these neces-
state weeks of work for the jewel eX-
perts in the appraisers stores."-

A young girl, writes, 81 have two
sisters older than l am, and a sister
and brother who are only children.
A young man calls on me, and my
older sisters always come in the par
lor. Even if they happen to be out
for the evening, there isn't any peace,
for my younger brother and sister are
in the back parlor and make all sorts
of what they think are funny remarks.
Instead of checking them, my father
and mother laugh at them. What
shall do? 1t is very unpleasant.
do not want to take my friend out on
the street to entertain him."
Here is family in which, evident
ly little consideration is shown for
each other. 1t is dominated by the
spirit of teasing, an insignificant
thing apparently when it starts, and
often only bit of pleasantly But
it is one Of those habits that grows
rapidly, and becomes in time, mon
ster. Teasing can be the scource OF
much unhappiness, especially to the
sensitive.
To begin with, this girl should re-
monstrate with her family not angri-
ly, but firmly and with sound argu-
ments as to why their actions are I'M
loving and unkind. 1t probably will
do no good, but the chance of it's help
ing is worth taking. She may at least
arouse her mothers sympathy and
enlist her services in lettering things.
If the young man comes merely to
pass a pleasant evening, the presence
of the sisters will perhaps do no
harm, but only help to make the even
ing jollier, unless they are the kind
who are a dead weight and would
spoil anything. In this case, the girl
might suggest little walk, and sure
ly after this rebuff, they would hard
ly appear in the parlor when the two
return. If, however, they are persist
ent, the girl could suggest that she
and her caller go to some mutual
friend. Of course, this is not so pleas
ant as entertaining the friend in her
own home, but it SENS the only way
to give him an enjoyable evening I'M
der the circumstances.
If the man is really interested in
the girl, the presence of the sisters
can do no real harm. In fact, they
will only make him dislike them by
insisting on staying when they are

BULLS AND BREEDING RECOE~Do'

Many cattle breeders do not UNDER
stand the almost vital Importance o.
keep.ne the good, Did bulls. A sta!-
lion that has a line of good colts Is
cherished as long as he IS able 10 serve
eff ectually, but most breeders get Ilu
of their bulls before Their usefulness
is known. Prof. Eugene
of the Illinois College OF Agriculture
said, not long ago:
I'VE must have SOrne standard OF
picking bulls beside the Ordinary

animal on the block.
Nv e are buying our
when they would maae good baby
beef, breed ng them tor two or three
years, and selling them for bologna
What is it that goe to make up the
valuable qualities Of a bull to be useo
for breeding? l hear q good deai
about the comparative merits OF peol-
gree ana individual excellence. A few
years ago they all said: If the pedl-
gree is all right, the animal Will De

Little Chunks OF Experience.

The breeder Of today who succeeds
must be a breeder. a feeder and al.
aIi-round stock man.
The popularity of the show ring is
the masses to quality, and
nothing but the Lest will justify the
breeding enterprise.
There is 40 more pitiable sight than
a mare and foal standing in the open
with their coats turned the wrong
way and shivering with cold.
The growing and harvesting Of rape
TOR seed is an industry worthy Of at.
tention in districts where the soil
and climate are suitable.
1t IS estimated that growing pigs
placed on rape at about TWENTY-FIVE
to the acre will for two or three
months require only half as much
grain as styled animals.
Figs will live and grow on rape
tho a supplement of grain. but a
small addition of the latter is profit
able. Dry sOws will, however do
Well on rape alone.
The weaving of the foal should not
be attempted until it is ascertained
that he is capable of maintaining
n1mse!f, and at first his appetite
should be studied and coaxed with
crushed oats, etc.
One reason why so many begin
ners fell in the sheep business Is that
they have been led to believe thot
sheep can be kept with little tronhIa
or care and that rofts neverth.1a.s
are sure to accrue.

vALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD.

A large income is derived by the in
habitants of the coasts of Japan from
gathering and selling ordinary sea-
weed.
More than 100000 yen is derived
by the harvesters of the deep each
year This does not include the large
amount of the product consumed by
the natives
Certain kind of seaweed is used for
food and its by-products represent
thousands of dollars annually. As
choice a dessert as was ever eaten was
made from weeds gathered on the
southern coast of Japan. This mixed
with sugar and sDrinkled with rum
makes a dessert rarely equaled on this
side of the Atlantic.
There are families on the coast of
Japan whose ancestors for hundreds
of years have lived entirely from the
proceeds of the seaweed gathered from
March to November and sold for food.
The natives anchor branches of trees
at the mouths of the rivers which flow
into theaocean. The incoming tide de-
posts seaweed on the branches. The
natives gather it. dry it and after
it with huge knives, sell it in
large quantities.

A HERO.

As a passenger train was pulling
into Beaver Meadow, Pa, the two men
in the engine cab saw a little girl
standing on the track ahead, laughing
and waving her arms The distance
was so short that it was at once APP
PAL ent that the train could not be
stopped before the child was reached
Engineer Wittig applied the brakes
and rang the bell. Fireman James
Fox jumped through the cab door,
dashed along the running board
leaped from the pilot to the track and
sprinted. There were only few yards
between the train and the child and
it was doubtful whether Fox or the
train would win. Fox had only time
TO kick the child from the track like a
football and spring aside himself
when the train was on him.
The pilot threw him to one side and
his legs just missed going under the
wheels. He was scratched and
bruised. The child, which rolled down
an embankment, was scratched. but
otherwise unhurt. The child's moth
er, who had seen its danger and its
escape, tainted when she realized that
it was safe. She is Mrs Jacob Clos
ky. The child is > years old
