Sonic Clever Smuggling:.
One of the most clever frauds ever per.
petrated upon the revenue was practiced
by a diamond merchant in New York.
For years he was known to bs smuggling
precious stones, but the custom’s detec
tives could not catch him. Every time
he returned from Europe he was carefully
searched, and it was even proved that he
did not swallow his diamonds before go
ing ashore, but never was anything found
except a few inferior stones, and these he
did not attempt to conceal. Traps were
set to capture the wily old culprit but
without avail. At last a detective learn
ed that, whenever one of the members of
the suspected firm arrived in New York
upon a certain steamer, another member
of the firm rr an agent took the same
state room upon its return trip. It was
further learned that he invariably took the
entire state room, so that he was alone
upon a voyage. This led to the discov
ery of the fraud.
It appears that the importer, when on
his way from Europe, would cut a small
piece out of the flooring under the car
pet of his stateroom, and, after conceal
ing the diamonds to be smuggled, would
put bnck the flooring and replace the
carpet. When he left the ship he left
the diamonds, too, in their place of con
cealment, aud of course the detective
never found auy in his possession.
A few days afterwards, when the ves
sel was about to sail for Europe, the
other member of its firm or its agent,
having secured the state-room for the
return trip, would go on board accom
panied by his confederate. The latter
would then remove the diamonds, and
go ashore perfectly safe. There were no
custom officers on active duty when
vessels were departing.
Facts Worth Knowing.
Q. Ia Alabostine expensive?
A. No, it Is the cheapest article for the pur
pose on the market.
Q. llow is that? Cannot I purchase kalso-
TUines at a few cents per pound ?
A. Yes, kalsomtnes can tic purchased at
almost any price.
U. Why then Is Alatiastine less expensive?
A. In the first place a package of Alahastine,
costing a few cents more, will cover donble the
surface that a package of kalsomlne will.
Q. What other advantage has Alahastine
that kalsomtnes do not possess ?
A. Alahastine Is entirely different from all
kalaomines. It Is manufactured from a base in
itself a cement, and when applied to a wall sets
hard.
O. How do kalaomines differ from this?
A. Kalaomines are made from whiting, days,
chalks or some inert powder for a base and are
entirely dependent on animal glue to hold them
ou the waif.
Q. What are the results?
A. In one case the Alahastine being a eement
hardens with age, and the kalaomines as soon
as the glue, which constitutes its binding
quality, decays, rulie and scales off. as it has
nothing to hold It on the wall.
W- I toes Alahastine require washing and
scraping off before recoating?
A. No, Alahastine wh n once applied te a
clean surface can he recanted for any length of
time without having to wash or scratie the
walls.
y. Does this fitature count for mnch?
A. Ask any practical housekeeper, who has
been driven from home to have walls washed
and scraped, whether it will lie desirable to
have all of this overoome, anil walls imp roll- <i
instead of -p ,{/* d by coating them.
y. How can I get Alaliastlne?
A. From your local paint dealer. If he does
not keen It in stock, and tries to sell you some
•hmg else, tell him you are determined to try
Alahastine, and If he will not keep It you will
get It elsewhere.

THk HIVAL MINSTRELS.
Haroun al Raschid loved his harem’s maids;
He loved his gardens, with their winding
shades;
He loved to watch his crystal fountains
play;
He loved his horse?, and his courtiers gay;
He loved all royal sports that please a king,
But most he loved to hear his minstrels
sing.
And so it happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers to the Caliph’s court
Who pleased him best, full each minstrel
knew.
Would be proclaimed the greater of the two.
So well they pleased him that they found
him loath
To choose between them, for ho loved them
both.
“Let all the nation ju Ige," at length said he;
“Who pleases best my people, pleases me.”
Tbiough all the land the rival poets sung;
Their names and music were on every
tongue,
Until at last they never reached a door
Where Fame had not sung all their songs
before.
Ben Olaf sang of deeds the Caliph wrought,
The riches and the splendors of his court;
The mighty warriors every nation boasts,
An 1 armies vanquished by the Prophet’s
hosts;
How Islam's valor was beloved, and feared;
And when he finished, listening thousands
cheered.
Mustapba’s songs were all of simpler things;
Forgotten was the pride of earthly kings.
He sang to them of home, and truth, and
love;
How Allah watched his children from above.
Close to their hearts the poet’s music crept;
And when he finished, all the people wept.
For though Ben Olaf charmed them with his
arts.
It was Mustapha’s songs that reache 1 their
hearts.

1 there's
/M n °thing very
! /'[ I "Hangc about
v ift I that, they tried
[ ■'& the same game
“ on us when I was
tfyAßyy living at Car
'•* warp, but they
did not make much of that job.”
A number of stockiren had met at
what Is now Wentworth, the junction of
the Murray and Darling Rivers, and one
of them, Tom Burke, was the speaker.
He continued;
“I'll spin you the yarn, boys. You
see, in '56 the Murray had risen to an
unusual bight and Bprcad for miles over
the plains, tilling up all the biltibongs
aud back lakes, so the cattle had taken
to tho high grounds, where the Myall
blacks had a fine time going round in
their canoes and spearing them. When
the flood went down we had a general
muster on the Murrumbidgee, Lachlan
tnd Darlings, when wc found the herds
til mixed up, while lots of them had
ipears still sticking in them. Jim Mul
lins and I, from Oarwarp, with Billy Mc-
Mahon, from I’oon-Boou, had been driv
-ng on the outer side of Fletcher’s Run,
ind we camped one night at a sheep
•tation hunt ou the Yarracool Creek.
Next morning I had just slung the billy
•o make tea when Jim Mullins, who was
joing after our horses, sang out, ‘Boys,
lerc'sa whole tribeof Myalls comingalong
he plain;’ aud, sure enough, there were
ifty or sixty of them all painted up, but
without spears or shields. Of course we
ill hurried out of the hut to see what
:hoy were ui> to, am! got our revolvers
ind a dodfcle-barreled shotgun ready.
When they were about 150 yards olf
Mullins called out to them not to eoiue
iny closer; but they held their hands up
over their heads and still advauced till I
brought the gun up to my shoulder;
theu a very tall, powerful black* called
Boney, who used to knock round the
Murray and Darling stations, stepped out
in front and shouted: ‘Hulloo, Tom,
mine want to talk along with you. Don’t
be afraid,these ail budgerer (good) black
fellows.’
“ ‘l’m not afraid,’ said I, ‘but don’t
you come any nearer, or directly gun
talk along with you.’
“At that moment the sun shone out
brightly,aud was reflected with dazzling
brilliancy from Boney’a broad chest.
“ ‘Give me the gun, Tom,’ said Mc-
Mahon; ‘these beggars have beeu rob
bing iny cabin, for that’s my hair-brush
with the looking-glass back that Boney
has slung round his neck.’
“ ‘Hold on, Billy, it won't do to throw
away a shot, for we’ve very little am
munition,' said I, as I handed him the
gun.
“Still the blacks came on, in spite of
our warnings, until they were only fifty
or sixty yards off, and then McMahon’s
gun cracked, tho looking-glass was shat
tered to atoms, and Roney, spinning
around convulsively, fell dead; while, at
the same moment, his companions
whirled aloft their throwing-spears,
which they had been dragging with their
toes through the grass.
“At onto we dashed into the hut and
closed tho door, as a shower of spears
came whizzing along and quivered in the
walls and the Myalls rushed on with
fierce yells, but the rapid fire from a
brace of Colt’s revolvers, which streamed
from the windows, quickly checked their
rush, and sinking to the earth they van
ished completely from our sight.
“All that day we watched the plain.
There were no Myalls to be seeu, but
whenever one of us would cautiously
open the door a dozen dusky figures
would spring up and a volley of spears
would quickly impress on us tho fact
that ‘discretion is the better part of
valor,’ and though occasional shots were
tired by us they were only for the pur
pose of showing that we were ou the
alert.
“At last the suu went down, and ns
darkness soon followed we breathed more
freely, for you know the blacks will not
stir ftoni their camps after nightfall for
fear of the ‘debbil-debbilso we cooked
iuppet and then held a council of war.
“We had only five or six charges of
powder left, for there were no breech
loaders theu, and we guessed that the
Myalls would not wait much longer be
fore they would rush us, and theu their
long jag-spears would soon finish us, so
we were in a very dangerous predica
ment. Billy MeMakvu took the buckets
to the creek for water, and in coming
hack he said.
“ ‘Boys, here’s a fair chance for us
yet; the Myalls are camped 300 or 400
yards up creek and, of course, they’ve
got their canoes fa3t to the hank there.
Now, if one of us could creep up and
steal oue of them we might slip off and
be faraway before worniifg.’
“This appeared to be our best chance,
so I offered to make the attempt, leaving
the others to get everything ready for
our speedy departure in ease I should
succeed. TheD I stripped to a blue
shirt and trousers, belted on my six
shooter and crept cautiously down to the
bank of the creek.
“It was about 10 o'clock,the Southern
Cross was high above the horizon and
all was still except the fain ripple of the
water or the dismal howls of the wild
dogs, as they called to their mates in
the scrub. Up the creek I could see the
faint gleam from the Myalls'camp fires,
but all seemed quiet there for, most
probably, they were all asleep, gorged
with stolen beef. Very slowly and cau
tiously I crept along, close to the water's
edge, pausing every minute to listen in
tently, but at last I got abreast of one of
the fires, and, sinkidgdotvn in thegrass.
I peeped over at the Myalls as they lay
round the embers, sleeping soundly, with
their spears, suiLiJ.. and boomerangs
resting against the sides of their brush
breakwinds. They were all asleep fast
enough, so I crawled along a few yards
further to where seven large bark canoes
were hauled up close to the bank. I chose
what I thougiit was the best one, and,
setting the others adrift, I shoved Off*
and dropped quietly down to where my
companions were anxiously awaiting me.
It didn’t take very long to bundle our
blankets and saddles aboard and then wo
paddled off for the Murray, which we
reached the next morning, and landed
at Kulnine Crosiers’s station. We heard
there that news had come from Yerpool,
a missionary station, that the Myalls had
been holding a war corrobborree, and
| scut the red stick ’round the tribes, so
Jim Mullins and I started up river in a
hurry, as we knew that all the men were
away from Carwarp, and that there wort
only Mullius’s two sisters, with “Old
Jack,” the cook, tit the home station.
That night we camped on Jamison’s
Run, and next day, about noon, we
came to our woolshed, which was about
two miles from Carwarp. We were just
walking our horses over the saud hills,
when we heard the short, sharp crack
of a rifle.
“ ‘Hurry tip, Tom,' said Mullins;
‘that’s my rifle, sure. There’s not
another like it ’round here.’ Bo we
dashed the spurs into our horses, and
they jumped off as if they were going to
head a mob of wild cattle. In a min
ute or two ‘crack’ went the rifle again,
but now we were going at a racing pace,
and when we came to the three-rail fence
around the home station our horses just
flew over it iu their stride, and on we
galloped over the sandy ground till we
broke from tho timber close to the sta
tion, and were right among a mob of
howling savages. They had broken open
the storehouse, ami were scattering the
contents about in eyery direction. Some
had got hold of a keg of rum, and were
howling in drunken fury as they
swarmed about the dwelling house, try
ing to chop down the door with their
tomahawks, while four or five ot them
were up on the roof trviug to tear off the
sheets of bark with which it was cov
ered.
“As we swept pass the men’s hut wc
saw the body of ‘Old Jack,’ tho cook,
pierced with spears. The next instant
we were busy at work among tho yelling
fiends, and at every crack of a revolver
down dropped a Myall. They were so
completely astounded that they did not
attempt to show light, but pluuged into
the Murray and dived like n flock of wild
ducks to escape our bullets. As we wore
goiug back we came on one black fellow
who had been shot through the lungs,
and to our surprise we found that he was
one of our own tame blacks.
“ ‘Hello, Jacky,’ said Mullins, ‘what
for you want rob him station aud kill
white gins, Kate aud Mary ?’
“The cruel eyes of tho dying savage
gleamed fiercely. ‘Mine want eat him
tongues belonging to white gins, then
directly mine yabber (talk) like it white
fellow and catch plenty sixpences. You
give him water, mine thirsty.’ Then he
rolled over aud died.
“You may be sure the girls were right
glad to see us, for by good luck they had
happened to catch sight of tho Myalls as
they were murdering tire cook, and so
had lime to bar tho door aud windows.
Theu when the fiends got up on the roof
Kate tired tho ritlo twice, but then the
bullet stuck half way down the barrel.
They had a couple of pocket pistols, but
they kept them as a last resource, to
shoot each other rather than fall into cho
bauds of the savuges.
“Well, tho girls are both married
now, aud living down near Kyueton, and
the next year we gave the Myalls iu this
part such a cleaning out they never
bothered us any more on the Murray, hut
lit out for the Queensland scrub, and a
mighty good riddance too, says I.”—

Connoisseurs in Perfumes.
The learned in scents claim that they
cau distinguish and name each clement
of auy compound odor, just as the
musician cau discriminate and trace the
sound of the various instruments that
are rendering the crowded symphony.
Doubtless these learned oues could dis
tinguish, ou coming into a lady’s draw
ing room, all the various breaths im
prisoned in the pet-pourri jar—the rose
leaves, the cassia buds, the orange
flowers, the orris root, the vanilla, the
the beuzoui and cinnamon and musk
and alcohol, and all the innumerable
rest. But to the iguorant in such fine
points the pleasure is perhaps just as
keen, let the learned deny it as they
may. Yet many think themselves ac
complished in this brauch whose educa
tion is still very far from finished. We
remember, at the time of a famous
Oriental exhibition in thiscouutry, when
people were possessed with the delights
of the attar of roses to be bought there,
that tho Oriental stock of attar of rose
ran out, und it was replenished from a
dealer’s stock of oil of gerauium.and the
sale continued just as before, entirely
umlimiaished, aud with warm adulation
of the strauge rich sweetness of the real
Turkish and Persiau attar of roses.
Aud, although the oil of geranium is
j undoubtedly a rich perfume, yet the
crafty Orientals must have laughed in
their loose sleeves at the way in which it
took the place of the at once far richer
and more delicate, anil four times more
costly, object of the bulbul s worship.—

Butter a tin or plate, and break in

a kettle of boiling water, and steam un
til tho whites are thoroughly cooked.
They are very ornamental broken into

manner, are tender and light, and not
tough and leathery, as by any other
process, and can be eaten by invalids
with impunity, and are certainly very
much richer. Try it, and lam sure you

CANDIED ORANGE FEEL.
If a quantity of oranges are not used
at one time, the peels can be thrown in
a jar of salt water (a handful of the for
mer to a gallon of the latter) and kept
lor weeks. If salted, soak the rinds over
night in clear water. Wipe dry and
boil in clear water two hours or until
they can ba easily pierced with a broom
straw. Drain, and shred finely. Allow
a cupful of granulated sugar and half a
cupful of water for each heaping cupful
of peels; make a syrup, throw in tho
peel* and simmer gently until the syrup
is nearly absorbed. Then pour out on
plates and dry in a warm oven. Keep in
a jar.—New York Observer.
CANNING MEAT*.
If the meats are to be boiled, as is
done with corned beef, the cooked meat
is put in the tins as it is taken from the
boiler and the tins are immediately
sealed up. They are then put in a
boiler and boiled for one hour, whin the
long-continued heat has destroyed all the
germs of decomposition, and the meat is
preserved without any change for two
years. Auy person may put up meat for
domestic use iu this way, as there is no
patent on the process. Roasted meats
are treated in the sime way, being put
in the tins as hot as possible, aDd the
tins are dipped in boiling water before
being filled.—New York Times,
HEAD CHEESE.
The head of the pig mu»t be care

chopped fine and weighed. To eTery
seven pounds of meat a teaspoonful of
salt, half a teaspoonful of black pepper,
a saltspoonful of cayenne pepper, half a
teaspoonful of mace and one onion
minced fine are added. These ingredi

HOW TO MEND LACE.
The mending of lace is an art of itself,
and many professional members, who arc
usually French or Germans, earn hand
some livings working at this dainty task.
A knowledge of lace stitchery is neces
sary in mending handsome lace. If an
ordinary piece tears mend it with lace
thread, which comes in small soft bails
at five and ten cents, imitating the
ground work mesh to the best of your
ability. Before taking a stitch baste the
lace on a piece of embroidery, leather or
stiff paper, otherwise it will be drawn
out of shape and distorted by puckers.
In pulling out the basting threads after
darning a tear, be careful to clip the
threads into short lengths.—St. Louis
Republic.

France aud Spain.
The diplomatic negotiations between
Germany and Spain have lately seemed
to look toward the consummation of
reciprocity treaties which should shut
France out from any commercial rela
tions with the Castilian monarchy. It is
supposed that such a result would have
been very pleasant to the Queen Regent
Christina and the Spanish premier, Senor
Castillo. But it could not be worked
rsfelv. France is the best customer that
Spain has, and though in time Germany
might have stood in somewhat the same
rda ion, it was dangerous to exchange a
certainty fora mere poribility. Ihe
Spanish premier has therefore instructed
bis minister in Paris to say that Spain
desired to bring about an understanding
with France either through a definite
commercial treaty or by a temporary
agreement. Of course. France will
promptly and cordially accept these over
tures, and Germany, for the present at
least, will have to abandon the effort to
connect Spain commercially with the
central powcs.

Deafness Can't be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can ba taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out or ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
