A WEALTHY SMUGGLER,

{t. Leulse Milllomaire Arrested When He Arrived From Kurope,

Richard M. Scruggs, said to be a St. Louis millionaire, and E.G. Sangborne, of the same City, were arrestal by custom house inspectors a8 they stepped from the steamer St. Paul on ite arrival at New York from Southamption a few days ago. ‘The charge against them is smuggling, and the inspectors, when they searched Sangborne, found s belt containing dis- monies, jewelry and watches. Similar artic'es were fouad in Mr. Scrugge’s peckets Some valuable lace was ala» ca; tured. The captured stuff is estimated rougniy to be wort $3,006. Thetwo men waived ex- amination before Comn i+ ioner Shields* aod were held in $2,500 bail, furnished. It was learned that Su:uqys an! 8.nzboroe went to England to eell the pare ton acal enlatirg mechine, a d got $200,090 for it.

THE NEW ARISTOCRACY.

A probable visit of the Queen to Mr. Waldorf Astor, one of the Amcrican million- aires settled in our midst, is rumored in a nal journal of New York, which also discusses his probable marriage with Princess

sensati

Victoria of Wales. In the latter case the writer predicts that he will be created Duke of Clivedon, and pictures him heading a pro- cession to the Lord Chancellor in the House

of Lords, with the prince of Wales and minor notabiiities bringing up the rear like a troop of domestics. The almighty dollar will prob- ably be his crest, and his motto will be suppli- ed by the Pall Mall Gazette, ‘Win Gold and wear it” might be suggested. What with the arrival of the Bradley-Martins and their train of liveried flunkeys, this played out old country may be roused into some startling revelations of a new aristocracy. The beer vat which has fecome the fount of honor in Englaud may now be succeeded by the petroleum spring, and the genealogical tree have its roots among the forest giants pf the Yosemite Valley.—Lon- don VG, 7 a ee |

~ ONE OF LINCOLN’S STORIES. ‘ Fate of the Man Who Tried to Advertise Gunpowder at Prayer Meeting.

The following anecdote by Lincoln is re- counted by General Horace Porter in his ‘‘Campaigning With Grant’’ in The Cen- tury. It was told during Lincoln's visit to the front at City Point:

In the course of the eonyersation ti § evening he spoke of the improvement

' arms and ammunition, and of the new

powder prepared for the 15 inch guns. He said he had never seen the latter article, but he understood it differed very much

rom any other powder that had eyer been used. I told him that I happened to have in my tent a specimen which had been sent to headquarters as a curiosity and that I would bring itto him. When I re- turned with a grain of the powder about the size of a walnut, he took it, turned it over in his hand, and, after examining it carefully, said: ‘‘Well, it’s rather larger than the powder we used to buy in my shooting days. It reminds me of what oc- curred once in a country meeting house in Sangamon eccuntr. You see, there were very few newspapers then, and the country storekee;ers had to resort to some other means of advertising thrir wares. If, for instance, the preacher haypened to be late in comiig to a prayer mecting of an even- ing, the sl.opkeepers woull often put in the time while the people were waiting by notifying them of any Lew arrival of an attractive line of goods.

‘One evening 2 man rose up and said: ‘Brethrer, let jue take occasion to say, while we'r. a-wweisin, that IL. ve jest re- ceived a new ipy’ice cf sportin ~7wder. The grxins are go small you kin sa. ly sec ‘cin With the naked eye, and polished up so fine you kin stand up and comb yer ha’rin front of one of them grains jest like it was a lookin glass. Hope you’ll come down to my store at the crossroads and examine that powder for yourselves.’

‘“‘When we had got about this far, a rival powder merchant in the mecting, who had been boiling over with indigna- tion at the amount of advertising the op- position powder was getting, jumped up and cried out: ‘Brethren, I hope you'll not believe a single word Brother Jones has been sayin about that powder. I've been down thar and scen it for myself, and I pledge you my word that the grains is bigger than the lumps in a coa) pile, and any one of you, brethren, ef you was in your future state, could put a bar’l of that powder on your shoulder and march squar’ through the sulphurious flames surroundin you without the least danger of an explo- sion.’ "’

Blondin said: ‘Ze people at Niagara oné time present me a vera beautiful medal of gold, set wiz diamond, and when I was carry x¢ tah on my shoulders across &i- agara I wear ze medal. One time when we were ‘bout half way ‘cross I think 1 feel ze medal slip as eef he was falling to ze waters below.

A clerk in a Chieago bookstore was sur- prised not long ago when a young lady came inte the store and said to him, ‘I want to buy a present of a book for a young man.’’ ‘Yes, miss,’’ said he. ‘‘What kind of a book do you want?’ “Why, a book fora young man.’’ ‘Well —but what kind ef a young man?"’ ‘Oh, he's tall and hus light hair, and he always wears blue neckties !’’—Exchange.

CLAPPERTON’S ‘THREAD —

Than with many other kinds, the twist is so firm that it’s not so apt to unravel as some, —and that’s what gives it its extraordinary strength.

HAVE YOU TRIED IT?

university ina paper describes the find- ingswf Professor Pctrick and Dr. Giibert of the University of Io\,a on the effects of the loss of sleep. Those who have missed their norms! rest for several nights in suc- Session fecl 4 lussitude and a sort of de- pressing interest in life. They behave queerly and seem to lose an equitable judgment of things. Events seem out of proportion and often ordinary occurrences appear to go zigzag. This is the sleepless ‘jag,’’ and its hallucinations ure as mark- ed as those of a man carrying an overload of liquor.

Three norma) subjects composed of in- structors, and hence men not easily sus- ceptible to influences, were tested by Pro- fessor Patrick and Dr. Gilbert. ‘They were kept awake fer a period of 90 hours with- out resort to stimulants or other physiolog- ical means. During the four days and three nights of the test they were engaged, as far as possible, in their usual .occupa- tions. Their meals were of the customary kind and were served at the usual hours.

After the second night the first subject suffered curious fantasies. He complain- ed that the floor was covered with a greasy looking, molecular layer of rapidly mov- ing particles. They worried him almost to desperation. Often this layer seemed to him a foot above the floor and parallel with it, and it caused him tromendous trouble, as he stumbled about and tried to step on it, He staggered and tumbled, but he couldn’t get s sure footstep. He would try to walk on space, thinking the floor was 4 foot above where it was, and when his efforts met disaster he seemed screly distreesed,

Later the air was fullof these dancing particles, which developed into swarms of little bodies Mke gnats, but colored red, purple or black. They gyrated, it seemed to the subject, in great glee, and he fre- quently ‘climbed ‘upon a chair to brush them from about the gas jet. This amused him greatly. Especially was he entertained by thy various colors in which he saw the little troopers as they droye about him in countless hordes.—New York Journal.

Uncut Copies Fer Keviewers.

It does seem ungracious thus to state it and savoring of indolence, but the English book reviewers complain of the books they receive which are uncut. That important person in the big newspaper offiee, the ex- change editor, never could get through his onerous labors were his journals placed on his table uneut. No man probably ever could rely upon a wife or o daughter to cut the leaves of a book for him, for when they undertake the task they wil! dip into the volume, read bits here and there and never quite finish the job.

If fully determined, however, to cut, the gentler sex never will knife the index

‘or preface. Then there is some art neces-

sary in cutting a book. Imprimis, you must have a proper paper cutter, for your wife’s hairpin is as murderous a tool as is a pen- bolder, a pipestem or your own index fin-

r.

Nevertheless, if the professional reader does cut for himself, there are certain ad- vantages. If the volume is illustrated, he sees the points, and these give clews to the contents. Books are not cut by publishers for the reason that margins should be pre- served in case of rebinding, because then an additional sliver has to be taken off. Andrew Lang has been most severe, an- athematizing publishers who send him un- out volumes.—New York Times

wecer> IN BIG MAIL BOXES, ~~;

Live Cats, Empty Flieskse and Other Things Besides Mail Matter.

The big mail boxes placed in various parts of the city for the reception of mall matter other than letters arc familiar. They are about thres fect in height, and they are raised on short legs, so that they will clear the sidewalk. The top of the box is rounded. The opening through which mail matter may be dropped, and which is about big enough to admit a dic- tionary, is just under the top infront. It is closed by a vertical cover which turns down on pivots at the lewer corners, and which is so weighted that it returns to place when released. At the bottom of the box and extending across it in front is a door which is secured by a padlock. This door opens downward, and when open it forms a shelf in front, eontinuous with the floor of the box. These big boxes are painted red, and on the front of each one is sten- ciled this announcement: ‘‘For newspa- pers and packages, but not for letters. U. S. mail.”’

Many things besides mail packages have been found in these big boxes. Sometimes when the collector unlocks the doora cat jumps out and rnns away. There are men who appear to think it is fun tocatch a live cat in the street and thrust it into one of these big letter boxes. It is not un- usual to find in the boxes loose newspapers, put into them under the impression that these are boxes intended for the reception of reading matter for the sick in hospitals, Sometimes empty flasks are found. Hav- ing taken the lest drink, the drinker, in- stead of throwing the flask into the street to be broken, considerately drops it into the mail box. Sonsetimes there are found in the boxes old shoes, put im by people who think that is « funny thing to do. There are found occasionally sandwiches, or parts of sandwiches, dropped in by per- sons who hare eaten all they want or have time for of a quick lunch, or by beggars who did not want the sandwich that had been given to them, and had therefore gently, but firmly, dropped it into the nearest package mail box.

Still, these t*‘ngs aro, after all, but in- cidentel. The matter fornd in the boxes is chiefly mail matter, and it includes a great variety of things, packages and boxes of all sorts and sizes that can be got through the opening and some that can’t be. Sometimes boxes too big tc go through the opening are jammed in as far as they will go and left there, holding the cover open. Sometimes rolled up maps are put in the boxes, or one end of them is thrust down through the opening as far as possi- ble, the other end sticking out at an angle,

something like a fishing rod. As the peo- }

ple have become more and more accus- tomed to using them, the bulk of the mat- ter deposited in the boxes has inwreased. The wail from the big boxcs is collected with wagons,—New York Sun.
