QUEER ARTICLES SENT BY MAIL FROM THE OTHER SIDE. *i*t till Women Find It Difficult Desire to Bring in 1‘reseiit* Free of Duty—People Who Are in Other Re aper ts Honest. Cheat the Government. 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 found by the customs ofth name high in society and well known in 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. SIMPLY SAC RELIGIOUS. Rev. Dr. J. D. Fulton, of Cincinnati, | preached a sensational sermon l°.st Sun- DISCOVERY OF BREYFOGLE S MINE ! day, in which politics cropped out as “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. Detecting it TI»L*f. “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 been 111 erally sprinkled.” 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- I thick as willows on a i was careful to allude t jin such a way as to p land bank lie James G.

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. —London Tit-Bits. A Lucky Boy.

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. nsald please forgive u<.
