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. IHtl Not Kill the Bill.

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. —James G.

HE Myalls have been murdering jEwSflj nil the whites up |j7 Igs at Wells’s station aC /-jCr, 59 .on the Leich §sl ? ar( H, I hear. 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.”— Detroit Free Press. 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.— | Harper's Bazar, HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. most wholesome wav to cook boos.

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 fully cleaned, as are also the feet and ears, which are then all boiled in salted water enough to barely cover them until they drop from the bone. The bones are taken out aud the meat remaining is 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 ents are mixed with the meat while it is hot. The mixture is put in a press, and when cola forms, in slices, an accept able dish for the tea table.

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.
