"Diamond smujrgling," said-Agnt
Bracket t, of tlie custom house, "is not
so may as you might suppose. Honest
dealer leml vitv cllicirnt aid in the
detection of the smugglers. Of course,
the chief object cf smuetrlinjr is to
make money by selling below regular
j&ten, and this is very ditlicult to do
without losing the goods. The price
of diamonds is as well known to deal
ers as the price of any staple article.
The moment any considerable quantity
of diamonds is offered below the regu
lar price, suspicion is aroused, and the
chances are that the vender will be de
tained on some pretense until one of
mr officers is put on his track.
"It sometimes happens that we are
informed of the coniirg of a diamond
smuggler, and are waiting on the pier
for him. Such was the case with the
French thief, li!-arriotte, who was re
cently caught with diamonds worth
$75,X)0, which he was smuggling in a
satchel. The jewels will not bo for
tfeited, as the legitimate owner had
nothing to do with the smuggling.
jSometimes the smugglers are detected
by fellow-passengers, who notify the
'custom house on the arrival of the
vessel, and we receive the culprits
'with open arms. AVe have found dia
monds concealed in cakei of soap,
sewed up in clothing, concealed la the
hair, packed away in letters, stowed in
cravats. In one case a man had a
false boot-heel, which was hollow.
"When wo unscrewed it we found a
handful of precious stones. There are
some habitual European travelers who
are narrowly watched. A prominent
gentleman was nee caught trying to
smuggle diamonds in a bladder which
was secreted in a cask of wine. The
gauger might have poked around for
ever with his stick and not have found
such a bundle."
Another detective oTicer said : " It
Is a common trick of pickpockets to
call out in a crowd, Look out for your
'valuables.' Every man unconsciously
puts his hand on his property, and
the thieves then know the precise spot
to which they must direct their atten
tion. The placing of the hand over
the watch or the pocket is involuntary.
In like manner the smuggler who lias
goods concealed about his person will
be likely to expose himself by his very
anxiety to avoid detection. The eve of
an experienced customs officer will de
tect at once the involuntary indications
uf this guilty fear. I remember one
rase where a passenger had his hand
bandaged and his arm in a sling. My
partner, who hal just been appointed,
was really indignant when he found I
proposed to ascertain what was in the
bandage. He was not a little aston
ished when I discovered snugly stowed
away in the folds of the bandage some
valuable stones. I had seen enoush to
convince me almost as conclusively as
if the man had said, "Look out for
me, I am trying to smuggle some
thing." The philosophy of it is ob
vious. The smuggler knows that
(within a few moments it will be de
tiied whether his illegal venture is to
succeed or his property be confiscated.
The more valuable it is, the more ob
vious will be his trepidation. It would
require a man of steel nerves to avoid
all the signs that, under such circum
stances, will betray him to the ex
perienced officer.
" One way of smuggling diamonds is
to put them in a "belt like a money
b;'lt, fitting closely to the body. But
the practiced touch of the officer will
generally detect this by passing the
hands over the outer clothing. In
c:i8es ol strong suspicion there is no
hesitancy in stripping men and women
in the search-room, . the women, of
course, being attended by female
searchers. Some very funny stories
lare told of the expedients adopted for
.concealing diamonds where they would
not ordinarily D3 looked for. l ew
women, however, have the nerve to
withstand search, lne men some
times show fight, but not often. The
officers must, of course, be very cir
cumspect in determining on a search
Twenty-dollar gold p'eces in a belt
ibout a man's body may be mistaken
;for watches, and then the officer gets
laughe 1 at ; but he must take that risk,
The questions are : ' Have you any
thing new and dutiable about your
person V and ' Have you more than one
watch r
" Once I picke 1 out a man in a lot
of passengers and determined to search
him. My partner laughe 1 at me, as he
had not noticed anything Biispicious
about the man, and bet me a dinner
I would not find anything. I found
that un ler his outer clothing the man
ha 1 a valuable set of furs, with cuffs,
coat and muff, and he frankly ad
Tnitted that he was trying to evade the
duty. Ho was glad to buy the goods
of the custom house at the appraised
value.
" One way of diamond s miggling is
to wrap up the stones in a ball or yarn
carried in a lady's po ket. But the
gens may easily be found by piercing
the ball with a long needle. It is not
illficult for an expert to detect stones
concealed in the lining of clothing,
Long evper ence develops a marvt loua
delicacy f touch that reveals the
sauvggled goods as quickly i lmot as
if they were oi enly di played. I have

for instance, observed the unnatural

' False bottoms in dressing cases,

Ono fellow was observed with n hump

detected snuggling valuable? in their
chignons, and it is a common thing for,
them to lino their dresses with silks
and laces, easily disclosed by quick ex

" The sense of smell often exposes
tho smuggler of attar of roses or oil ol
cloves, on which tho duty is heavy.
AVc caught one man who had tin cans

frequent visits to the ship, and we

A Lion who had long reigned with
supreme power over t lie r orest, ono
day called a convention of all the
beasts and announced his intention of
abdicating.
" I am growing old and feeble, and
I must soon pass away," he argued.
" All things considered it is better that
my. successor bo nominated and in
stalled while I am living to give him
the benefits of my experience and ad
vice." There was general joy among the
Beasts, for tho Lion had lorded it
after his own fashion. The Elephant
was squinting around, the Khinosceros
was pushing Ids nose into the crowd,
and the Giraffe was doing a heap of
thinking way down his throat when
the Lion continued :
" After serious reflection and solemn
consideration I have decided that my
own son shall succeed me. The office
will not only be kept in the family,
but the family will be kept in office.
There being no further business beiore
the meeting wo will adjourn."
'But why the need of this conven
tion ?" protested the Rhinosceros.
" Well, there wasn't any particular
need of it," replied the Lion, " but it
is customary to call one in order to col
lect the expenses of nomination.

A "Wolf had the misfortune to break
his leg, and being unable to hun for
his food, was soon reduced to the verge
of starvation. Ono day as he was ut

and inquired tho trouble.
" 1 am almost at the point of death "
was the reply. " I haven't had a mor

hen the Hyena was consulted ho
stroked hi3 chin reflectively and finally
said:
" Are you certain that he is a Wolf
of good morals ?"
"No."
"Well, then, I'd better see tho Lion
about it before wo do anything."
The Lion heard the story, winked in
a wise way, and remarked:
" There ought to be a committee ap

Alfred Mouehet, a Prussian by birth
and residence, d.ed recently. He was
by occupation a horse-dealer's assist
ant. He was known for many years
as " the bucket-man." But his title to
fame serenely rests upon the fact that
he was the champion glutton of the
French capital. On one occasion he
devoured at a single meal a whole tur
key, a leg of mutton, a pound of cheese,
several pounds of bread and a bucket
ful of wine. In 18 b ho had an eating
match with one Dietrich, who was
only able to eat eight pounds of mut
ton, eight pounds of beef and several
pounds of bread, and was therefore
badly beaten. Dr. Lac-hat once stated
in the Academy of Medicine that with
the exception of a Basque named Lo
rion, who regularly ate fifteen pounds
of bread a day, Mouehet was the great
est eater that ever lived.

He now has 800 colonies, after losing

1880-81. He made a $4,000 honey crop
in one year, and has sold $25,000 worth
of honey in all, although for a period
of three years ho obtained no honey,
for some cause. In 1874. during the
overflow, he extracted 100 pounds of
honey in three months, one colony that
season giving him thirty-eight ga'lons !
This is the largest yield ever reported
east of the Hocky mountains. He hai

After describing some of tho torriblo ef
fects of the cyc'.cne, the speaker went on to
sny:
Tnis rule finds its application in nearly

The president mauet n slight stroke of tho
pen in his study at tho White House, and the
whole nation is aroused by the act. An un
easiness and disgust with everything in life,
commonly called home sickness, is felt by
many people, when the CBUse is to be found
in the distant home thousands of miles
nway. An tinceit un pain may I felt in tho
h ad. It is repeated in other parts of the
loiy. The appetite departs and all energy
is gone. Is the ca ue necessarily to be found
in the head ? The next day the lejling in
creases. There are added symptoms. They
continue and I eoome more aggravated.
The slight pains iu tho head increase io ato
n es. The nause.i beoomes chronic. The
heart grows irregular, and the breathingrn
certain. All these effects have a dohnite
cause, and, after years of deep experience
upon this subject, I do not hesitate to ray
that this oattse is to be found in somo de
rangement of the kidneys or liver far away
from that portion of the body in which these
effects appear. But one may say, I have no
pain whatever in my k:d leys or liver. Very
tins. Neither have we any evidence that
there is a tornado on the su f.u e of the sun;
but it is none the less certain that the tor
nado is here, and it is none the less certain
that tin S3 g e it organs of the body are tho
cause ot thetrojble although there may bj
no pain in their vicinity.
I know v her of I Bp. alt, for I have rnss d
through tins very exi erience myself. Nearly
ten years ago 1 was the picture of health,
weighing moro than 200 pounds, and at
strong und healthy as any man I ever knew.
When I le'.t the symptoms 1 have above de
scribed they caused me annoyance, not only
by rjasm of their aggravating nature, but
because I had never le t any pain I e ore.
(. tier doctors told me I was troubled Willi
malaria, ai d I treated myt elf accordingly.
I did net believe, however, that malaria
could show such aggravated symptoms. It
never occurred to me that analysis would
l.e p solve the trouble, as i did n t presume
my ditlieulty was located in .bat portion of
the body. But 1 continued to grow worse.
1 hid a faint sensation ut the pit of my
(timac-h nearly every day. I felt a great
desire to eat, and yet I loathed food. 1 w as
contant'y t rediani still I could not sleep.
My brain was unusual y active, but 1 coald
not think connectedly. My existence was a
living misery. I continued in this condition
for nearly a year; never free from pain,
nover for a moment happy. Sucti an exist
ence is far wor.-e than death, for which I
enf ess I earnestly longed.
It was while suff. r.ng thus that a friend
advised me to make a final attempt to re
cover my health. I sneered inwardly at his
suggestion, but I was too weak to make any
resistance. He furnished me with a remedy,
simple yet palatable, and within two days J
observed a slight change for the better. This
awakened my courage. I felt that I would
not die at that lime. I continued the use ot
the remedy, taVjng it in accordance with
directions, until I became not only restored
to my former health and strength, but ot
greater vigor than I have ever before known.
This condition has continued up to tho pres
ent time, and I believe I should have died as
mire-ably as thonsauds of other men have
died and are dying every day had it not been
for the simple yet wonderful powor of War
ner's Safe Cure, the remedy I employed.
The lecturer then described hii means of
restoration more in detail, and concluded as
follows :
My complete recovery has cause! me t
investigate the subject more carefully, and 1
I e'ieve I have discovered the key to most
ill health of our modern civilization. I am
fully conildent that f oar-fifths of thedisea ei
which afflict humanity might be avoided
were the kidneys and liver kept in pi rfeot
condition. Were it possible to ontr.il the
action of the sun, cyolonei could undoubt
edly be avertod. lhat, however, is one oi
the things that cannot be. Hut I rejoice to
say t int it is possible to control the kidneyd
and liver, to render their actio 1 wholly no -mat
and their etie -tupou tho system that of
purifiers lather than poiB-jners. That tins
end has been accomplished largely by means
of ths remedy I huve named I do not have 0
doubt, and I feci it mv duty to make thin

Tho Peculiar OA1 Mystery I
It was one of the peculiarities of the old-fashioned Doctors that they
never would tell patients what they were prescribing for them. They said
it would do the patients no good to know, and that it would only be grati
fying a foolish curiosity. In order to keep patients from knowing, they
would write the prescriptions in dog-Latin, so that most patients could not
read them. All that sort of thing is now over. Thepatient wants toknow what
he takes. He is weak, and wants to be strong, or he .3 dyspeptic, and
wants to digest well. Or he has a troublesome liver which he wants to
put to rights. So he takes Crown's Iron Bitters about which there is no
mystery at all. Thi3 is the best preparation of iron in the world, in com
bination with gentle yet efficient tonics. It gives strength. It builds up
enfeebled systems. It enriches impoverished blood. It-removes feminine
weaknesses. It casts out debility, Jt ig what YOU want, and your drik vist
hag it. i .
Thousand Hastened to Their Oramel
Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculons cure

performed on thorn, and that these testi
monials make the cures, while the so-callej
medicine is all the ttmo hastening them to
