Itefoic the lntlux of Chinese laborers
was plopped, a Mongol, looking as If
.ill liis years were acquainted with only
poverty and toil, would sometimes try
to Kiio.ik .'isli.ire with a dirty old blouse
atuft'ed fiill of line silk handkerchiefs I
and scarfs and Indian nock shawls.
The Chinese g.-.rnient for cold weather
Is a quilted blouse or tunic, with a
teavy filling of cotton. Silk handker
chiefs being 1 It'h t and line, a single
blouse would sometimes contain a val
uable Invoice.
jSuinctliiies a demure Chinese maiden
would step ashore with the thick soles j
of her shoes stuffed with silk. A whole
covey arrived some years ago with
their siKH'ti siuffed in this fashion. An ;
Inquisitive inspector had his attention
attracted to the extraordinary thick- (
noss of the soles and made an Invest!-
gatlon. which resulted in a valuable
seizure. I
To a man the Chinese crews on the
steamers plying between San Fran
cisco and Mexico, South America and
the Orient are smugglers. They hide 1
Uieir contraband goods in the oddest
places Imaginable and get them ashore j

ways that almost bailie detection
They have brought opium skilfully
stuffed in bananas still hanging to tho
Stalk and in oranges. One day about
six years ago a Chinese dressed as a '
cook walked leisurely down the gang- j
plank of a Faclllc Mail steamer with a
basket on bis arm containing several '
loaves of broad. lie shuttled right by j
a customs house otllcer and would have
got away all right, but ou the wharf
came into collision with n drunken
sailor. The sailor, who was to blame, 1
gave the Chinese a violent shove, send- :
ing him sprawling and scattering his
bread loaves. A policeman Interfered
and noticed that oue of the loaves had
broken open. Ho started to examine
uv v ownur Kiiirieu u ruu. livery
loaf was tilled with opium.
Chinese have been detecteil with
boxes of the drug deftly bound up in
their queues or tied under their arms.
Every bit of baggage and every arti
cle they take ashore is a hiding place.
Beams on ship and table legs have
been hollowed out ns receptacles for
contraband opium. False bottoms are ,
put In cubby holes and pantry draw-
era. Hiding places are sought In coal i
bunkers and under the engines and '
boilers. The methods of secretion are I
so varied and Ingenious that frequent- '
ly the ofllcers are unable to find smug
gled opium, even after they have dell- ;
nitc information that It is aboard a
vessel. Only recently the officers fail
ed to find a lot, although they knew
positively that It was on board. How- j
ever, keeping the closest watch on '
everything that left the ship, they 1
finally intercepted the opium as It was I
Deing taken ashore.
Khmer In n Circuit.
Dinner Is the great event of the day,
for to this meal all the people employed
"in the biggest show ou earth sit i
down at once. The mess tent Is an !
jbIong affair. There are six rows of
tables with a broad aisle down tho
centre; it will seat 500 people. The
aristocracy sits on the right side nnd
tho masses on the left. The aristoc
racy has n little better service than
the others, but the food is about tho '
same. There Is roast beef, vegetables
and desserts with soup and fish at the
look's caprice. The cooking is done
In a wagon fitted up with two ranges.
The coffee making nnd boiling and
broiling is done lu tho open air. It
takes seventy gallons of milk to put in
the tea and coffee of the mess every
day, and more when the boys are
tired. After dinner there Is an hour
of rest at twilight. This is tho only
time in the entire day that tho per
formers have wholly to themselves. It
is tho social hour. Little family groups
gather lu the open air, lying on tho
grass, picnic fashion, about a chariot
or near a tree; the women cluster in
little groups and talk woman wise, and
make a feint of doing fancy work,
sewing or reading.
Tho lliitlituh Trunk,
Some novelties in bathtubs are made
abroad especially-for travelling pur
poses. They are made of best tinned
iron with Japanned oak outside and
white inside. Tho novelty Is that they
-an bo closed up with a strap and util
jsod as a trunk to hold the clothes of
the owner. A self-heating gas bath

An atmospheric gas burner being em
ployed from which tho heat is conduct

heated in tills way In forty-five mill
ites at an expense of three ceuts.

Southern KiillroHil lluililing.
The financial depression has not had
'I very decided effect on railroad con
struction in the South. The total nuiii
!jor of miles of railway built lu this
section since January 1 of last year Is
inly fifty-seven miles less than was
built during all of the year before.
The total new mileage in tho South
for last year, r.p to December 1, was
1.112 mil's. Texas leads with 2KI
miles, Florida comes a close second
with 2is miles, and Georgia Is third
with 171 miles. Atlanta Journal.
I. inly mul AVoiniin.
It has been decided by nn English
court, that It Is not libellous to call a
lady a woman. This recalls tho fact
ihat In a Western town, a couple of
years ag , a young woman who worU
m1 ns a clerk in a dry-goods store
threatened to sue a newspaper for libel
because It referred to her as a sales
woman and not as a saleslady. She
.lid not carry out hor Intention, how
ever, as she was advised that she had
no case.
WHY MIKE BURNED THE BOOK.
A M (1 it AVntrlimmt Who Knit thi In
terrst of Mill firm HobIIv st Ilcnrt.
The secretary of the Ka stern Rubber
Company, at Trenton, N. J., lost n letter-book
containing copies of a month's
Importaut correspondence a few weeks
ago.
Tho whole ofHe force was turned
out to hunt for It, but It had disap
peared us effectually as If swallowed
up In the earth. After closing hours
the other evening the secretary, the
general manager and a couple of clerks
sat in the olllce discussing the loss and
trying to account for It. Mike, tho
new watchman, came In to sweep nud
dust.
"Mike, have you ever seen anything
of letter-book No. I)V" naked the man
ager. "No, sir," said Mike.
"Well, have you seen a book llko
this?" taking another letter-book from
tho safe.
"Yes, sir; I seen one like that one
night. It was In tho waste basket"
"Where is It now?"
"Sure, I burned It"
If ever a watchman received a lec
ture for stupidity, Mike got It then.
The secretary became hotter nnd hot
ter every minute ns he talked. "I sup
pose you'd bum up the cashbook If
you over found It outside the safe!"
he shouted finally.
"No, sir; I would not," returned
Mike, gently. "What would I do that !
for, when there s nothing but figures
in it that don't mean nnythln' but to
the man that wrote 'em? I wasn't
goln' to burn this book at first, be
cause I wanted to keep the nice papers
to put tobacco In. But when I thought,
well, perhaps some one will get a-hold
of It and read somethln' that was none
of their business, I Just burned It
to make sure. You'd do the same, sir,
now wouldn't you?" New York Her
ald. Pnylng Social Debts.
The name of the women who live In
single rooms In boarding-houses, and j
yet long Tor an opportunity to receive
and entertain their friends, Is legion,
says an exchange. One of their num
ber lias decided that It may be done,
nnd has made nn excellent beginning
In that direction.
Her room Is or was nn ordinary
looking, moderately large back one on
the second floor of an ordinary board-lng-house.
She turned it Into n charm
ing apartment by the expenditure of
a great deal of time and thought nnd
giving up n new winter frock. The
bed was biinlslied mul n In viivl,nio a-
lounge was substituted with denim !
cover and a multitude of silk pillows.
There was a leather screen picked up
nt n bargain, to shut out the view of
tho wnshstnnd. A set of box book
shelves served tho simple purpose of
bookcase, sideboard and closet, by be
ing stained nnd having a door with
hinges swing over one long box. Dain
ty blue nud white chlnn, a copper cof
fee pot nnd some sliver spoons occupy
the sideboard. All sorts of pretty
photographs In pretty frames hang
about the walls, nud a grate fire com
pletes the prettiness of the worn.
In the closet, every Saturday night,
are stored olives, crackers, cheese,
bread and butter, lettuce, a little cel
ery, coffee nnd sugar all of them de
licious. Every Sunday the landlady
for a consideration cooks nnd chops
up a chicken. Every Sunday tho young
woman makes chicken salad, for the
preparation of which she Is justly fa
mous, and thin broad and butter sand
wiches. Sometimes she toasts sumo
crackers over her grate Are. She
makes delicious coffee in the Russian
coffee pot. And every Sunday after
noon she Is "at home" to her friends,
dispensing the dainties from an old
mahogany table In tho corner. She
docs not spend a fortune in entertain
ing, but all the people who "drop In"
during tho long afternoon have the
best sort of time, nnd she owes no
social debts.
InterclinnKeanle Heels.
An English lirm have recently been
granted letters patent for nn Invention
whereby the heels of boots nnd shoes
can be easily detached or reversed.
The Invention consists of steel, or any
similar material, shaped ns a lift, with
llange nnd groove, by the first of
which It is fixed In nny part of the
height of the heel nt the option of tho
maker, while the upper portion of the
heel Is so constructed ns to slide into
position so that it is indistinguishable
from nn ordlnnry heel; but to insure
absolute security a line screw Is In
serted from the inside. The advnnt
nges claimed for it are that when the
top piece becomes slightly worn down
the wearer can reverse It to tho other
boot, nnd nfter these hnve been well
worn they can bo replaced by a new
set nt a very small cost Shoe nnd
Leather Facts.
CulIfurnU Misfits.
There Is nt least one level-headed
farmer In San Joaquin County. There
Is more point In the following few lines
than can be found In an average speech
occupying as many columns, no says:
"We let our timber rot and buy fenc
ing. We throw away our ashes nnd
grease and buy soap. We raise dogs
and buy hogs. Wo let our manure go
to waste and buy guano. We grow
weeds nnd buy vegetables nnd brooms.
We catch live-cent fish with n four
dollar rod. We build school-houses
and send our children off to be edu
cated. And, lastly, we send our boys
out with a forty-dollar gun and a ten-
' dollar dog to hunt for ten-cent birds."
! That Is precisely what Is being dona
nil over the State. San Francisco Call
Forced to Confess.
A curious point lu Swedish criminal
law Is that confession is necessary be
fore a capital sentence can be carried
out. If, however, the culprit persists
in protesting his Innocence In the faco
of overpowering evidence, the prison
discipline is made extremely strict nnd
severe until the desired confession Is
obtained.
The Humor of the Mimeum.
"Slang Is -always vulgar," said tho
manager of the dime museum, "but It
Is sometimes' fuuuy, too."
"Yes?"
"Yes. For Instance, It docs sound
funny to hear the living skeleton nHk
lug the fat lady If she will lend him
11 couple of bones." New York Tress

LITERARY NOTES.
Mmc. Sarah Bernhardt. Is about to
publish her memoirs, which will fill
two volumes.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward's new novel
