TflE DIAMOND SMUGGLERS.
CUNNING RUSES EMPLOYED TO
ELUDE CUSTOMS OFFICIALS.
Ingenious Receptacles for Contra
band Gems —Curious Expedients
Resorted to by Women.
“More diamonds are brought into this
country in the fall,” said a New York
Custom-house Inspector to a Prm re
porter, “than at any other time, as dealers
• are then getting ready for the holiday
season. The usual protit on Ordinary
stones, upon which duty is paid,,is esti
mated at ten per cent, at wholesale.
Now this is not a large per cent, to
make, and naturally does not satisfy
people inclined to be dishonest. If the
duty was lowered there would be very
little smuggling done, as the profit
would not compensate for the risk of
having the property confiscated. ' "
“It sometimes happens that the Col
lector is notified of the coming of dia
mond smugglers, as he was in the case of
Henry James Marriott some five or Six
years ago. Marriott stole diamonds
valued at $50,000 from a l’aris jeweler
named Kramer. Marriott was a clerk in
a picture store, and, with his booty and
a young girl named Pereux, tied to this
country. Two persons answering their
description soon after came over in a Ger
man steamer, and hardly had they landed
before United States Deputy Marshal
Bernhard wa3 on their track. They
were finally traced to Staten Island and
arrested at the Battery while coming up
to the‘city. Nearly all of the stones
Were discovered, some of them being
sewed into a pincushion, a muff and a
*pair of trousers in the room of the thieves.
•Sometimes diamond smugglers are re
ported by fellow passengers in whom
• they have confided, or who have their
suspicious excited by some chance word
or act. Diamonds have.been found con
cealed in soap, in .women’s back hair,
and in some instances fastened to the
plate of an upper sat of false teeth. Some
people who are constantly on the go be
tween this country and Europe are
habitually watched. . !
“One of the strangest cases that ever
came under my observation was that of
a man who had subjected himself to a
grew deal of bodily pain to effect his
purpose. It was generally understood
among his fellow passengers that he was
a great inyalid and was suffering from
some incurable blood disease that would
eventually end 1 his life. When he came
off the steamer, supported by attendants,
he was indeed a frightful looking ob
ject, his face being a mass of eruptions.
What it was that excited my suspicions
I can’t say, but something told me that
the man was an imposter and I decided
to have him searched. You never saw
such an indignant lot of people as they
were and their prostestations that a
search would endanger the life of the
invalid almost made me forego my reso
lution. The look of satisfaction on the
invalid’s face,however, when I hesitated,
settled me, and I had him brought into
the inspecting room, and sent for a
physic an before examining him, as I
wished to take no risks. When the doc
tor came he,felt the man’s pulse and
looked puzzled; “There is noth ng the
matter with that man,” he said finally,
‘‘except extraneous skin poisoning,” You
may be sure I had him stripped rather
quickly. Would you believe it? His
skin was as white and soft as a baby’s,
with the exception of live red lumps on
the.inner side of the thighs that looked
like large, undeveloped boils or car
buncles. The phys ciau examine ! these
curiously and then said to hold him.
Three or four of us held hjrn while the
doctor made an incision over one of the
lumps and extracted—a diamond. You
see, the fellow had read that the dig r ,
gers in the African mines sometimes used
this wav'for concealing valuable gems,
and he had tried it. He was the most
crestfallen invalid you ever saw, for, be
sides having had all his sufferings for
nothing, he was out about * IV, Out).
“Many persons have an idea that smug
gling is not dishonest. One well known
business man was" caught in trying to get
through untaxed a lot of velvets valued
at $50,000. He made himself liable to
pay a large tine —some thousands of
' dollars. He paid the amount without a
murmur, but stated when he did so that
he did not consider that he had done
anything wrong. .'A prominent gentle
man, who would n6t for the w’orld com
mit an act which he considered dishon
est, was caught smuggling diamonds
concealed in'gelat ine capsules in a medi
cine bottle. He did not appear abashed
in the slightest degree.
“The smuggler, in his anxiety to
avoid detection, will indicate by his
manner that he is trying to do some-,
thing which he oueht not. I know of a
case where a cripple on crutches ex
cited my suspicions by just that look of
guilt consciousness, ami 1 took him in
to be searched. The other orticeri'
laughed at me, but tightly rolled up in
the hollow leg of one of the crutches
tvere several pieces of very valuable la.e.
Yes, sir, a man that can successfully
pass through the ordeal, of those few
moments of inspection would make a
mighty good hand at a game of blbtf, I
can tell you.
“Some very curious expedients are re
sorted to by women smugglers, who
are of .course searched in a • separate
room by" persons of their own sex. A
common way for men to smuggle dia
monds is to put them in a money belt
that goes around the waist. Gbld
watches are also smuggled in thaj; way,
but the practiced fingers of an officer
can generally detect the presence of
anything that does not belong there.
Sometimes, of course, mistakes are
made and innocent persons udju'sly sus
pected, therefore o dicers have to use a
great deal of circumspection.
“It is not difficult for an expert to
discover diamonds hidden in the lining
of clothing, for long experience develops
a marvelous delicacy of tpuch which it
is hard to deceive. People who wrap
themselves up in smuggled goods gen
erally betray themselves by their un
natural proportions. It is aji every day
matter to discover valuable laces ( hidden
beneath women’s skirts, and the decline
of the bustle will be a severe blow to the
female smuggler. False bottoms in
trunks, hat boxes and dressing cases
often conceal diamonds and jewelry,
and humpbacks have been caught with
humps made out of gold watches. In
fact every device that can possibly lie
thought of has been utilized by the
smuggling fraternity, and the successful
inspector must have the keenness of the
fox, the nose of the hound and the
sense of feeling possessed by the blind,
to cope with them. If you wish tp
secure for yourself a liberal education as
a judge of human nature become a cus
toms inspector.”

Mourning in Corea.
Mourning in Corea is a most burden
some duty. When a father dies, for in
stance, the sons must dress themselves
in a suit of sackcloth, with a rope girdle
about the waist. On the head is worn
an enormous hat, about the size of a
rain umbrella, and made of basket work.
This hides the whole upper portfcn of
the body, and for further protection
against obtrusion the mourner carries a
large fan tiefore'his face. It was in this
disguise that the Jesuits were enabled to
enter the country and carry op their
work. They have but recently laid it
aside. EVcn the pipe is wrapped with
whi,te paper, and white shoes are worn.
The mourner is not expected to do any
work, but ht stated times he has duties
to perform at his ancestor’s tomb. All
this is very bard for some to'bear, as the
resources of a fairly prosperous
family may thus be exhausted. In the
case of useful officials whom the King
cannot spare from duty, the period of
mourning may be shortened by royal de
cree.—San Francisco Chronicle.
The Ideal Hound.
In the makeup.of a typical hound, be
it English or American, he should not
be extremely good in one point at the
expense of another, as the work that
hounds are called upon to do demands
a perfectly symmetrical whole. His
legs should be straight as gun barrels,
feet round, compact and catlike in
formation; deep in chest and broad in
back, head well formed, neck thin and
arched, tail thick and brushy and car
ried jauntily in the air, with a voice
rich and inellow, for tire latter to a fox
hunter is'music far above the grandest
chords of Mozart or Beethoven. — New

Cocoanuts for a Circulating Medium.
Ih Venezuela all manner of makeshifts
have been resorted to- for supplying a
“circulating medium.” In Guauta, for
example, the people have absolutely no
monev, and when they wish to purchase
a few necessaries they steal cocoanuts
by “the dark of the moon” and ex
change them for supplies. This custom
became so general and so disastrous to
the fruit growers that the Alcalde w v as
obliged to issue a decree prohibiting the
use of cocoanuts as money.
OYER THE CATARACT.
v/iien the brave Stanley and his tireless fol
lowers were pushing their way into Central Afri
ca, they came one day to the bank of a mighty
liver. Footsore and weary, they quickly launch
their boats, and find rest and change in floating
upon the smooth surface of the stream.
boon, howeyer, the watchful eye of the great
explorer sees unmistakable signs of the near
presence of a cataract. The current grows swift,
tiny bubbles float by. The signal is given to
land, and the party seek safety on the low,
shelving bank.
One daring spirit, however, pushes hislittlo
canoe Into the middle of the stream and goes
resolutely forward, with the seeming intention
oi finding whether the liver is navigable.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticulate,
rushing wildly along the river bank in pursuit.
Not un:il the loud thunder of falling water
breaks upon his ear does he attempt to turn.
Alas, it is too late. ,
The oars are wrenched from his hands, the
boat is tossed wildly about, a mere atom in the
seething waters, and m a brief moment, which
seems an age to the lookers on, ic is dashed to
pieoes against a huge boulder on the very brink
of a frightful precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly warning us
of our danger. Our columns have often por
trayed the fearful scourge that surrounds us.
Often we hear the expression “Is this fearful
scourge more prevalent than in olden times?"
We say “No.”
In Brutus and Julius Caesar’s time, in the
dark ages, we read of powerful men being
stricken down. The same obstacles are met.
Tho victim succumbs to tlie disease. The re
cent discoveries of ihe microscope have devel
oped the real cause of so many terrible fatali
ties and brought out the fact that many of the
symptoms which are called diseases are but
symptoms of kidney disorder.
People do not die because of tho kidneys ttl
ceratiug and destroying their spinal column,
but because the poisonous waste matter is not
extracted from tne blood as it passes through
the kidneys, the only blood purifying organs,
but remains, forcing its way through the sys
tem. attacking the weakest organ.
Tne doctors call this a disease, when in real-
ity it is but a symptom.
Understanding this, tho reason why Warner’s
Safe Cure cures so many common diseases is
plain. It removes the causes of disease by put
ting the kidneys in a healthy condition ; enables
them to perform their functions and remove
the poisonous acids from the blood ; purifies the
blood and prevents the poisonous matter cours
ing through the systt m and attacking the weak
er organs and producing a malady which the
unsuspecting victim fears is, and tlio heartless
p: actitioner pronoune s, a disease, because of
his inability to remove the cause.
He avoids the real cause and keeps his patient
in ignorance because of his inability to cope
with an advanced ki ney difficulty.
Any honest practitioner will admit that there
is nothing laid down in the old or in the model n
medical works that is a specific for advanced
kidney disorder. His bigotry and code prevent
him Irorn publicly adopiiug any preparation
not discovered by his kind, and not recommend
ed by his instructors 25 or DO years b fore, lie
forgets that this is a progressive world, anil that
most of the great scientific and medical discov
eries of tho present day have been made outside
of the medical profession.
The public, knowing these facts, should heed
the warning and seek safety from the great dan
ger that surrounds them, anil look for help out
side tho profession too bigoted and too self
reliant, to learn or concede that science is out
s ripping their materia medica and leaving them
and their obsolete methods far behind.
Zanzibar.
•
The destiny of the Island of Zanzibar,
off the East Coast of Africa, and com
manding maritime access to the Lake
District of the interior of the Dark Con
tinent, is at this time a consideration of
high political importance, with regard
to the division of German and British
colonizing enterprise on the main-land,
the combined naval blockade for the
suppression of the slave trade, and tho
insurrection of the Buhe.i coast tribes
against the German settlements. Zan
zibar is an island forty-eight miles long
and eighteen miles broad, formed by a
reef of madrepore, with hills not above
400 feet high, and coverod with Ii xur
iant vegetation, the soil being in most
parts extremely fertile. The popula
tion, altogether numbering 300,000, in
cludes about 14,000 Banyans of the Hin
doo trading class from India, many of
whom are British subjects; Arabs, chief*
ly from Oman or from Muscat; Parsee
merchants; free and slave blacks from
different parts of Africa, from tho Com
oro Islands and Madagascar; and the
native race, who live in huts of wattle
and clay. The part of Zanzibar where
the late Saltan Said-Burghush resided,
is a fine bay or harbor on tho wost coast,
fronting Africa, and tho town has at
least 00,000 inhabitants. The connec
tion between Southern Arabia and Zan
zibar is of a very ancient date,'but was
long interrupted bv the Portuguese
dominion, which on this part of the East
African coast has been abandoned,
though it is still a reality in the Mozam
bique Channel and far to the south. Zan
zibar, however, did not exercise any
functions of actual government on the
main-land, while claiming a titular sov
ereignty along its sea-coast. —Frank
Leslie's.
Athletic Sports of the Samoans.
The men of Samoa are a fine athletic
race, and it did not take them long to
find interest in many of the sports in
dulged in by their visitors. They soon
learned to wrestle and to box, aud a
number of the natives will not only put
on the gloves with you, but give you a
lively tussle afterwards. They were
apt pupils in cricket also, and can make
a very interesting game with the En
glish resideuts or the officers and sailors
from the British men of-war and mer
chantmen that sometimes visit their
shores. They soon learn athletic sports
but take little interest in manual labor
of any kind. In fact until about ten or
twelve years ago they used to import
laborers from the Solomon Islands, who
were held to service for a term of years,
as were the Chinese coolies at one time
in other parts of the world. There are
yet in the Samoa and in tlie Fiji’
Islands many of these imported labor
ers, though the traffic has been sup
prt ssed for several years.
The Samoans are religious, but while
professing Christianity and attending to
the duties imposed upon them by the
faith taught them by tlie missionaries,
still, when in dire ue id of more than
human aid, they also appeal to the
wooden images which, they do not
doubt, have brought their forefathers
through so many dangers. They pro
pose to leave no stone unturned, or
no prayer unsaid, that might possibly
bring them benefit in their hour of
trouble. —New York Journa
A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
has put his project for an industrial
school for girls into shape, by purchasing
for it the Louella mansion, at Wayne,
Delaware county, securing a charter, and
appointing a board of trustees. The
entire value of buildings and endowment
will reach $1,500,000.
Mercurial Poison.
Mercury is frequently injudiciously used by
quack doctors in casei of malaria and blood poi
son. Its after-effect is worse than the original
di-ease. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) con
tains no mercury, but will eliminate mercurial
poison from the system. Write to Blood Balm
Co., Atlanta, Ga., for book of convincing proof
of its curative virtue.
A. F. Britton, Jackson, Tenn., writes : “I
caught malaria in Louisiana, and when the fever
at last broke, my system was saturated with poi
son, and 1 had sores in my mouth and knots on
my tongue. I got two bottles B. IJ. 8., which
healed my tongue and mouth and made a now
man of me.”
Wm. Richmond, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “My
wife could hardly see. Doctors called it syphi
litic iritis. Her eyes wero in a dreadful condi
tion. Her apjietito failed. She had pain in her
joints and bones. Her kidneys were deranged
also, and no one thought she could lie cured.
Dr. Gillatn recommended B. B. E., which she
used until her health was entirely restored."
K. P. B. Jones, Atlanta, Ga., writes : “I was
troubled with copper colored eruptions, loss of
appetite, pain in back, aching joifits, debility,
emaciation, loss of hair, sore throatj and great
nervousness. B. B. B. put my system in fine
condition.”
We Are Ahead.
The success of the warships Vesuvius
and York town in achieving more than
the contract requirements as to speed and
horse power, is made more conspicuous
by the failure of the British gunboat, the
Spider, to do either. She was expected
to show a speed of 20 knots per hour,
but did not quite reach it. But this is
not so important as the failure of her en
gines to develop the required horse-pow
er. Our Yorktown has exceeded the
horse-power guaranteed, and will earn a
premium for her contractors. The Ve
suvius has greatly exceeded the speed
stipulated, and has become famous
throughout the world.
