Women aro especially susceptible to
the enticements of smuggling. It has
been said that no woman can resist the
temptation to make an (‘(Tort to carry
goods subject to duty past a custom
house officer, and it is a statement made
by certain officials in the customs service
that if every passenger on board incom
ing ocean steamers were thoroughly and
completely searched as he might l»e, it
is probable that not one out of fifty
would be found to have resisted the al
lurements of just a trifling bit of smug
gling to add romance to the home com
ing. Oftentimes such carrying in of
dutiable goods is merely inadvertence,
lack of knowledge or oversight.
Presfnts bought for the “dear ones at
home" have tx»en overlooked when an es
timate was made of the dutiable goods
and were only recalled to memory when

religious, financial or professional circles
has been upon the books of the special
treasury agents office, but it is a fact
worthy of note, and which reflects much
credit upon the department, that such
matters are kept as secret as any portion
of the work.
“There is no necessity," said a man
who lmd made smuggling the study of
his life, and who is employed by the
custom house, “for dragging these legal
and governmental skeletons-in-t lie-closet
into the light of day. Oftentimes it is a
sad fact that they have occurred, and for
our own satisfaction (for we are, withal,
at times, men of some sensibilities) we
prefer to let them drop and remain un
mentioned. Then, again, there may he
certain arguments used of a more or less
persuasive value which would naturally
induce the inspector to give as little pub
licity as possible to the details of thecase.
A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
“I do not mean by this to imply that
the practice of bribery is in vogue to any
extent. This fact may not lie due to
original lack of sin, but it is true, never
theless, although honesty is enforced to
a certain degree by the remembrance of
the previous good record of the special
treasury agent's department.”
Perhaps the most novel and popular
form of amusement for the smuggler
nowadays is to use Uncle Sam’s post
bags for his exciting trade. A number
of books have lately been entered at the
postoffice, sent from foreign countries,
which were not altogether intended for
reading purposes. Several months ago
there was received at the New York post-
office a handsomely bound volume of
Italian poetry. The bopk was printed on
a high grade of paper and l>oro the date
“Patina, 1733.” Its title was “LoTrego-
die Di Giovanni Delfino.” It was prob
ably supposed that the postoffico author
ities would “pass” the book on looking
at its title on ifr. examination. Unfort
unately in this, as in all cases where
books are iu the mail, the volume was
opened and carefully examined.
A section of the center of 200 leaves
was cut out, through tho book, and in
•the cavity thus formed was placed a
green table spread, with cotton embroi
dery, upon which an extreme valuation
of threo dollars could barely l>e placed.
Buyers of antique books who have ex
amined the volume, which is now in tho
customs seizure room, say that had it
not been mutilated it would have readily
been worth $100. It was addressed to
Judge William Allen, of Southampton,
Mass., but Judge Allen has never read it.
OTHER VOLUMES.
Lately this volume has been followed
by a volume of tho “Report of the Brit
ish National Fisheries Exposition,”
which was not all a report, for quite a
collection of jewelry was placed in a
neatly scooped out orifice in the center
of its leaves. Extremes met when a
Latin dictionary was put in use as a
carton for transporting a pipe, and the
“Odd Fellows' Quarterly Magazine” did
duty as a packing case for two razors.
A novel called “The Great Tontine"
held two diminutive and very prettily
decorated Chinese vases, but the height
of incongruities was reached when tho
“Sermons of Bishop Brookfield, of Lon
don,” drifted into the New York |>ost-
office artfully surrounding several sets
of false teeth.
It is not generally known that no mer
chandise other than bouks can be shipped
through the mails from foreign coun
tries. Cigars, cutlery and chinaware,
jewelry and fabrics of cotton and silk
are often started on their long journey,
with notations accompanying them stat
ing that they are samples or gifts, but
these casual remarks never save the
goods. They find their way to tho
United States custom house seizure room,
and there remain until the yearly auc
tion.
Steerage passengers of the kind who
seek the services of philanthropical peo
ple on landing are no freer from the
taint of smuggling than their more aris
tocratic brethren above deck. One of
the customs inspectors saw an Italian of
mean dress and poor appearance who
wore on the little finger of his left hand
a diamond ring which glittered in the
rays of the sun shining over Miss Lib
erty’s left shoulder as tho vessel was
coining up the bay. He thought the oc
currence unusual and investigated. Two
thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry was
taken from the immigrant’s person. He
had fallen a victim to his own vanity.
He was unable to resist the delights of
making a display before his fellow j>as-
seugerc.— New York World.
THE GIANT PURSE CRAB.
Iff Climbs Cocoanut Tree* nmi Crack* the
Nuts Again*t Stone*.
In the mining bureau may be seen a
very fine specimen of the remarkable
large land crab known as the purse crab,
or Birgns Intro, which is well preserved
in a glass jar. This is one of the largest
species of land crab known. It is some
times found from 18 to 21 inches in
length when fully stretched out, and i;
capable of erecting itself to the height
of nearly a foot from tho ground, which
it readily does if irritated, retreating and
exhibiting to the utmost its powers of
offense and defense.
It is somewhat allied to the hermit
crab, but having tho abdomen or tail
shorter, yet very large, on the under side
of which it carries its eggs in immense
quantities. Its under side is soft and
membranous, its upper surface covered
with strong plates, which overlap one
another as in lobsters. The first pair of
legs have large and powerful pincers;
the second and third pairs of legs are
terminated by a single nail; the pair next
to them are a little smaller, with small
pincers: the pair of legs nearest to the
abdomen are very small, but terminated
by rudimentary pincers.
When teased this crab is so powerful
, | In its first claws and legs as to be able to
; an - a cling to a stick, and can hold its own
weight to 1m,* carried for over a half hour
before letting go, It can travel about as
fast backward as forward if pursued. It
is generally of a yellowish brown color,
its limbs being, however, covered with
little blackish projections.
It is never found far from the sea, to
which it is said to pay visits in order to
moisten its gills, but it always resides on
land, and is generally found in holes un
der the roots of trees, especially of cocoa-
nut trees, which it prefers, and where it
accumulates great quantities of the fibers
of the cocoanut husks, as if to keep itself
warm or for a soft bed. As a general
thing tin* purse crab stays in these holes
during the daytime and comes out at
night.
Its food generally consists of cocoa-
nuts, also tho nuts of a species of palm
known ns Pandanus odorotismus, and
other nuts, which it climbs the trees to
procure, cutting the cocoanut from the
tree with its heavy claws, and after it
has cut down two or three it descends
and commences to pull the husk from
them.
In its manner of dealing with cocoa-
nuts it exhibits a remarkable instinct, as
it always begins to tear off the husk at
the end where the eyes are. It then
makes a hole through the eye from
which tho nut would germinate. This
is done hv striking the fruit with its
heavy claw and breaking it sufficiently
to admit one of the small legs, by which
it scoops out the nut with its small pin
cers. Sometimes it seizes the nut by
one of its great pincers and breaks it
against a Rtonc.
The purse crab is found in the mount
ains and in tho more eastern islands of
the Indian ocean, as well as on some of
the islands of tho South Pacific, more es
pecially in the Caroline islands, which
are a low coral group.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
GOLD DUG OUT BY HAND.

“One word more,” said a speaker,
“and 1 am done.” And the reporters
found when that word was written
down that it contained 1,500 syllables.
The famous word of Aristophanes was
outdone. The same fellow is the speaker
w*ho often says, “A single remark,” and
then talks for fifteen minutes.
Hat* and fiend*.
It has been noticed by Mr. llenry
Heath, who sends hats all over the world,
from Calcutta to Peru, that different na
tionalities possess heads of distinctive
sizes and shapes. For instance, Germans
have very round heads, a peculiarity
shared by our own royal family. The
average English head is what hatters call
a good shape—that is, rather long. Tho
Scotch, one is not surprised to learn, are
very long headed. Canadians are dis
tinguished by exceptionally large heads,
South Americans by very small ones.
Australians, again, have rather small
heads. The subject is an interesting one,
and worth pursuing further if space al
lowed. The heads of individuals also
vary a good deal from time to time,
shrinking during illness or mental worry,
and generally becoming smaller with ad-
cing years. As to shape, there is
such a thing as fashion, but it only affects
mashers; men stick to much tho same
shape year after year.—Pall Mall Ga
zette.

“John Napier,” Miss Warremler tells
ns, “pursued his studies and researches
in Merehiston. Ho was supposed by the
vulgar to be deeply versed in magic, and
to possess a familiar iu the shape of a jet
black cock. Tho story goes that once
when some petty thefts had been com
mitted in the castle, of which one of tho
servants was suspected, Napier brought
them all up tlie winding stairs into a
darkened room, where the cock was
placed. He commanded them to stroke
its back, declaring that it would crow at
the touch of tho guilty person. During
tho whole ceremony the cock remained
client, but afterward the hand of the
culprit was found to bo free from the
soot with which the bird’s feathers bud

BY A PROSPECTOR.
I'liitii* In H I’mIding.
There is not a miner or old settler in
the southern part of California who is
not familiar with the story of t he famous
Breyfogle mine. It ranks with the Gun-
sight, tho Peg leg and the Lost Cabin
legends. Like them it has cost dozens
of lives, and so unsuccessful and fatal
have been the many expeditions made
in search of the mine that it has come
to be regarded by many as a myth.
Briefly, for the information of those
who have never heard the tale, the story
goes that away back in the early fifties
a party, in which was a man named
Breyfogle, set out for California by way
of the southern Utah road, a route which
lay through the southern portions of
Utah and Nevada, skirted Death valley,
traversed the Mojave desert and finally
terminated in either the San Bernardino
or Los Angeles valley.
Breyfogle was something of a miner
in his way, and while prospering in a
wild and forbidding region he found a
place where he could literally dig great
nuggets of gold out of the decomposed
quartz or cement, as he called it, with
his knife. As he described the place,
there was a large deposit of an exceed
ingly rich character—enough to mftke
the whole party wealthy, lie returned
to camp, but tho travelers were short of
provisions and water, the Indians were
troubh-some and tin re was no time to
waste in mining.
Th<*y pushed on toward iheir destina
tion, but between the Indians and thirst
ly a few of them ever reached civiliza
tion. Breyfogle told his story, oxhibted
the nuggets he had dug out and careful
ly preserved, and then spent the rest of
his life in a fruitless search for the de
posit. Others who heard the story fol
lowed his example, and for upward of
forty years the Breyfogle mine has been
a veritable will-o’-tbe-wisp, luring men
to destruction in the terrible deserts of
southeastern California and southwest-

How llie People of Nangir Keep Time.
The people of Snngir, an island of the
Malay Archipelago, keep time by the aid
of an hour glass formed by arranging
two bottles neck to neck. The sand runs
out in half an hour, when tho bottles
aro reversed. Close by them a line is
stretched, on which hang twelve sticks
marked with notches from one to twelve,
with a hooked stick, which is placed be
tween tho hour last struck and the next
one. One of these glasses keeps the time
for each village, for which purpose the
hours are sounded on a gong by a keeper.

A LUC KY STRIKE.
George; Montgomery, an experienced
miner well known in the Wood river re
gion of Idaho, was on a prospecting trip
in the region to the southeastward of
Death valley. It should he premised
that the old Utah road after leaving San
Bernardino city turns through the Cajon
pass and then strikes off in a northeast
erly direction across the Mojave desert,
passing Resting Springs, the Kingston
mountains and then traversing tho Palir-
ump valley. This valley lies just on the
boundary line between California and
Nevada and has a general northwest
erly and southeasterly course, the Kings
ton mountains lying to tho west and the
Pah rump range to the east.
While prospecting in the mountains
last named and at the upper end of the
valley Montgomery made a discovery
which bears every indication of being
the long sought Breyfogle mine, or at
least one exactly similar. But the loca
tion answers to that given by Breyfogle,
while the gold has been found just as lie
said—so plentiful that it could be dug
out in nuggets with a knife.
One ledge located by Montgomery is
eight feet wide, and has been traced by
its outcroppings for a distance of 9,000
feet. In the decomposed surface rock
the gold is found almost like plums in a
pudding. Pieces of quartz picked out
are from a quarter to half bright yellow
gold, while with a hand mortar the
lucky discoverer pounded out in a short
time a yeast powder can full of nuggets
of various sizes. All along tho ledge
free gold is found in quantities that as
tonish the oldest prospectors and which
seem scarcely credible.
After making several locations Mont
gomery spend the news of his discovery,
the result being that some thirty or forty
minors aro at work in tho valley. Mont
gomery himself packed up as large a
quantity of the richest specimens as h
could carry and made his way across the
desert to Daggett, the nearest railroad
point, 100 miles away. From there lie
came to San Francisco.
FORTUNES FOR MANY.
To the question whether he was look-
g for capital or a purchaser, Mr. Mont
gomery returns an emphatic negative.
The mines, he -avs, are the richest he
saw, and he is satisfied that he can
realize a fortune by working them.
There ought to be plenty of placer gold
in t ho gulches leading from the ledges
that have been discovered, but no effort
has been made to find any. All tho
miners yet in the camp are busy on tho
quartz claims they have located. On one
claim taken up by Montgomery a cross
cut has been pushed for twenty feet
across the vein without striking tho
hanging wall, and it is free milling ore
all the way.
Besides the deposits of gold, some rich
silver veins have been found, assays from
which run over a hundred ounces to the
ton. Lead and copper also abound, but
at present gold is the sole object of
search.
Tliere is plenty of mesquite wood for
fuel in the valley within three or four
miles of the newly discovered camp,
while in the mountains, fifteen miles
away, are forests which afford abun
dance of timbering material. Water can
be had at a moderate depth in Pahmmp
valley, while at Ash Meadows, fifteen
miles away, are streams which could be
utilized for power.
In any event the Breyfogle mystery
seems to have been solved, and perhaps
this fact will give uuother stimulus to
the search for the Gunsight and the Peg-
leg mines.—San Francisco Letter.

The old-time abolitionist who demand

bear the palm of republican impiety.
They are not in it with the Rev. Dr.
Fulton. Neither are the Rev. Sam Jones

paragraph quoted against the most start
ling expressions of the class of persons
who address the Creator as if he were a
boon companion.
The “God and Morality” party has
need of such clerical partisans. They
are iu full accord with the spirit in
which the party was born and on which
it has fed from the first. Jehovah him

While The Ti.mes-Re<order cannot | u

opinion, and found guilty on every
count. The constitution was adjudged

Nevertheless only a wall around Europe

Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved.
From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E.
Ilurd, of Groton, S. 1)., we quote: “Was
taken with a bad cold, which settled on
my Lungs, cough set in and finally ter
minated in Consumption. Four doctors
gave mo up, saying I could live but a
short time. I gave myself up to my
Saviour, determined if 1 could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband was
advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I
gave it a trial, took in all, eight bottles;
it has cured me, and thank God I am
now a well and hearty woman.” Trial
bottles free at E. J. Eldridge drug store,
regular size, 50c. and $1.00. 4
