AMATEUR SMUGGLERS.
Tho Large Part Anonymous Letters
Play In Their Undoina.

About % per cent of the amateurs
caught smuggling are betrayed by
anonymous letters written to the Gus
toms officers of the port Of New York.
This statement is made by the sur
veyor of the port Of New York. who
says:
| Much of our information concern
ing the amateur smugglers comes from
anonymous letters. Discharged serv-
ants, envious dreSsmakers and jewel
ers, even friends. give the information
which brings results. We get infor-
nation from persons who have heard
others boasting Of how easy Ii is TO
defraud the government. These are
chiefly trades people who hear their
customers declaring how much cheaper
they may buy their goods abroad.
Discharged servants write many
anonymous letters. One letter i re-
member from a lady's maid contained
such detailed account Of the purchases
of jewelry. dresses trinkets and other
articles that we knew were right In
making search.
Nearly all the attempts at SNUG
Cling by amateurs are the results OF
luxury and extravaganza. They want
to collect souvenirs and presents and
pay no duties. The plea Of ignorance
Is no longer an excuse. The matter Of
paying duties is talked about every
day.
"A woman arrived the other day and
declared $500 duties to be sure she had
everything right We found only
enough to charge her $3.50 in duties.

The Collar of Homer,

Among the curiosities preserved In
the Fabre museum at Montpelier,
France, is the famous collar of Ho'
mer," invented and worn by the great
Italian poet Alfieri. This distinguish
cd man began the study OF Greek
when more than forty-seve1 years old
and made such rapid progress In that
language as to astonish all who knew
him. He proclaimed himself "cheva-
lier Of the order OF Homer" and ap-
peared with collar on which were en-
graved the names Of tweniy-three po-
cts. ancient and modern. ard TO which
was suspended cameo portrait OF
Homer. On the reverse side of this
preserved relic is an Italian distich
composed by Alfieri, which translated
says. "Alfieri himself In creating this
order OF the chevalier OF Homer has
invented an order more divine than
that Of any king"

DISTORTED HISTORY.
Napoleon's Downfall as Recorded In
Russian Textbook.

NapoIeon's Downfall as Recorded In .
Russian Textbook.
Reasons of church. state or other
policy have frequently caused the schol-
ars Of one country to tamper with the
history OF another with which it has
been intimately connected. A curious
instance of such n distortion Of French
history was that found in a Russian
textbook used in all Russian public
schools and edited by a great Rus
sian scholar. Iloyaiski. The following
may be cited as an illustration:
Louis XVI. was q good and peaceful
king. After a long and famous reign
in which he was most happy in his
choice OF minister of finance he died
quietly in Paris. beloved by all his
people. His death was caused by q
hemorrhage.
"The successor Of Louis XVI. was his
son. Louis XVII. During his reign the
brave royal army commanded by Gen
eral Napoleon Bonaparte captured the
larger part Of the European continent
for the French crown. But the faith
less Napoleon showed tendencies to-
ward misusing his power and was sus-
pected OF harboring dishonest schemes
against the legitimate ruler. With the
help of his majesty the emperor and
autocrat OF all the Russias, his plans
were frustrated. and he was deprived
Of all his possessions, honors and rights
to a pension. He was then exiled TO
the island of st. Helena. where he
died."-Chicago Record Herald.
