Every method of evading the duties has been tried, the last being the use of eoep. No doubt this article had previously afforded oonoealment, but ft will hardly be tried again. The fact that Graves? cake of soap contained $10,000 worth of diamonds will be a precaution in the future against any similar attempt It ia supposed that Graves cut the soap in layers, and placing the diamonds inside, pressed the layers together, at the same time subjecting the mass to sufficient heat to render it solid. The cake was then smoothed off; and, being rolled up in a towel along with hair-brush and other articles of toilet had a very innocent appearance. It, indeed, would have passed had it not been for suspicion previously aroused. Graves was a well-known diamond importer, and this class are probverbial smugglers. He wanted to save $1,500 in duties and he lost $12,000 worth of diamonds. It is not probable that he will try it again. The false trunk bottom did well for a while, but it is sow so easily detected that no one really thinks of repeating it. An inspector knows at a glance whether the trunk is as deep inside as outside, and, if he is in douKt a yardstick soon settles the question. Another method was to wind laces around the bedy so that the increased bulk might pass for corpulence, but this, too, has become so well known that detection seems inevitable. Cigar smuggling was practiced by encasing them in water-proof bags and dropping them overboard, a boat being near to pick them up, but the harbor police soon put a stop to that. The increased espionage gradually reduced smuggling to laces and jewelry, and the ingenuity with which these have been "run might easily excite surprise. Diamonds have been found concealed in a lady's hair. The bowl of a meerschaum pipe, with its cover down, and a little tobacco inside, can contain $500 worth of diamonds. The heels of a pair of boots can be used for the same purpose, and the cavity can be made large enough to contain a firstclass diamond. A false-bottcmed watch (one that has a face and no works), may be used for the same purpose, and many ether methods might be mentioned; but the ingenuity of the custom-house detectives has penetrated one fraud after another, the last being Graves' cake of soap, which has created a marked sensation. The result of this vigilance is shown in the increased amount of duty on precious stones. It pays to guard the revenue in the closest possible manner. New York Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. OM-FasUeaed Pet Pie. The old-fashioned pot-pie was cooked by the gentle heat of a moderate fire in an old-fashioned, round-bottomed, dinner-pot. Line with suet crust, and make the crust as follows : Bemove all skin and membrane from a pound of beef suet, and chop it fine; add to it a pound and a-balf of flour, two level tear spoonfuls of salt, and a level salt-spoonful of pepper, and wet it with just enough cold water to form a medium soft dough, which can be rolled out about one inch thick. Handle the crust

as little as possible, and use ifcas directed in the preceding recipe. This quantity of crust will inclose about four pounds of meat, and make a pot-pie for five or six people, Ths meat, if at all tough, is first partly cooked in only water enough to prevent burning, all its gravy being carefully preserved. The dinner-pot is greased and lined with an unbroken piece of crust, the meat placed in it, with abundant seasoning and very little gravy, or a few spoonfuls of cold water if the meat was uncooked; then the upper edges of the crust were slightly wet with cold water, and drawn together, and pressed in such a way as to prevent the escape of gravy . The cover of the pot is greased on the inside, and put over the hot-pie, and it is then cooked by a moderately hot fire three or four hours, or until the crust is browned. Great care must be taken not to burn the crust; and in dishing the pot-pie all the gravy is preserved. With our modern cooking apparatus it may be difficult to cook a pot-pie of this kind without danger of burning, but it can be done with care. It certainly is a very delicious dish, and very nourishing, because all the goodness of themeat is preserved. Usually no potatoes aye added to it while cooking. Leeds Mercury. - The Setose of Avoirdapois. To eat supper just before going to bed is a great aid toward getting fleshy. The food so taken goes all to fat A nap after each meal is also conducive to the same great end, but gentle exercise should be taken between meals to promote appetite. Large doses of fresh air, avoidance of envious thoughts, entire contentment with one's lot in life, one's children, husband, relatives and friends complete the same great, end. There is one great advantage derived from the craze on fat or no fat It is a poor rule that don't work both ways, and many of the laws for gaming or losing flesh are the same, and are great health-promoters. The formation of tennis, skating, swimming and even walking dubs, and the patronizing of them by both stout and thin alike, is adding greatly to the health of our women. The rale of invalid is no longer fashionable, and it is considered rather a reproach to be delicate. Small waists and feet, or rather shoes, are going out of style, and physicians who make female complaints a specialty are losing money. Our growing girls are well developed for their age, and, following the examples of their mothers, are devoted to all manner of physical exercises. Pretty girls naturally, perfect health will make them beautiful and strong, enough to stand any amount of mental culture. Vegetarianism. A new refinement of vegetarianism has been devised. At a recent vegetarian banquet in England, after the usual amount of distensive food had been consumed, a malcontent had the courage to observe thai; if we left off rearing animals for food it would interfere with clothes. . He was, however, instantly confuted in the most practical manner by a true vegetarian, who arose and asserted that he was completely Pressed

in material which had involved n o bloodguiltiness whatever. A cotton velveteen coat, dark linen drill waistcoat, corduroy trousers, and lawn-tennis shoes constituted the array of this animals' friend. He also committed himself to the statement that "he had never tasted animal food in his life." The Supernatural. "The Society for Psyohal Research will be grateful for any good evidence bearing on such phenomena as thoughtreading, clairvoyance, presentiments, and dreams, noted at the time cf occurrence and afterward confirmed; unexplained disturbances in places supposed to be haunted; apparitions at the moment of death or otherwise ; and of such other abnormal events as may seem to fall under somewhat the same categories.1 It would be difficult for the society to put forth anything better fitted than this advertisement to lower the estimation in which their work is held by common-sense people. Let us make a little calculation showing how often coincidences of the kind sought lor must really occur in our country. Numerical exactness in our data can not, of course, be reached; all we can do is 1;o make rough estimates which shall not be unreasonably far from the probable truth. Any physician, we apprehend, will consider it quite within the bounds of probability that 1 per cent of the population of the country are subject to remarkably vivid dreams, illusions, visions, etc. This will make half a million such people in the United. States. Each of these persons may be supposed to have fifty friends or relations, of whom one per annum dies. If they are subject to a dream or vision once a week, there is one chance out of seven that they have one on the same day that the friend dies. Let us suppose that it takes a combination of eight separate and independent points of resemblance, between the vision and the circumstances attending the death of a friend to constitute a remarkable coincidence, and that each of these has a probability of one half. We shall have, in one case out of two hundred and fifty-six, a remarkable combination of coincidences. Putting these results together, we may offer that, as a matter of fact, some case of extraordinary coincidence between the circumstances in the death and the dream or vision by a friend of the dying person does occur somewhere in the country nearly every day in the year. Thus, what the Psychal Society will find it will, be what we know must exist as the result of chance coincidence. Science. Curiosities of Mesmerism.. The distinguishing feature of the earlier stages of mesmerism in man is that by slight stimulation any one center can be easily set in violent activity, and iter activity easily stopped, without the activity spreading to other distant centers. It is on this that the mesmeric phenomena usually exhibited depend; with most of these ptfenomens you are no doubt familiar, so that I need mention one or two only. Complicated reflexes may be produced in various ways, just as we have seen in the case with a frog evian when without its cerebral hemispheres. Thus Braid mentions that on one occasion an old lady who had never danced, and who indeed considered it a sinful pastime, when mesmerized began to dance as soon as a waltz tune was played. Popular Science Monthly. Couldn't Be Expected to Know School-board visitor, while examin" inga scholar: u Where is the North Pole?" I don't know, sir." "Don't you? Are you not ashamed that you don't know where the North Pole is?" "Why, sir, if Sir John Franklin, and Dr. Kane, and Gapt. Nares, anJ Markham couldn't find it, how should I know where it is?" Buffalo Eocpreeiu Messrs Mason & Hamlin kid itlv to become as famous for their Upright llanos as they hare lonjr been for their world-renowned Cabinet Organs. Havingr experimented several years at great expense, and with the assistance of probably as able a corps of experts as can be found in any faotory in tie world, hey have succeeded in producing a piano which has elicited the warmest encomiums from the best judge. The distinguishing feature about it is an important improvement in the method of "stringing" the piano, whioh originated in their own factory. The strings are Eeoured by metallic fastenings, instead of by the friction of pins set in wood, as has been the case, and the advantages resuiting are numerous ana highly Important; among them are the following: Wonderful beauty and musical quality of tone, far less liability of getting out of tune, greater reliability in trying climates, and greater solidity of construction and durability. Mason & Hamlin have made 150,000 organs. They can hardly expect to make as many pianos, but they will doubtless be caUed upon to mate a very large number. Boston Traveller. Speaking of suicides, Dr. John Lam bert, of Salem, N. Y.f tells a story of a prominent physician, now doing a successful work, who, in early professional life, was daily beset with a strong suicidal impulse. He fully realized the situation, and contemplated voluntarily going to the asylum for self-protection; but he resolutely concluded to put the instrument, a delicate knife, with whioh he was to open the femoral artery, in full daily view, and by strength of mental and Christian force of character he fought the enemy out on this line until the glittering blade had rusted and he had conquered. The Stinging Sensation In the gullet known as heartburn, is such a oommon source of annoyance that it deserves something more than casual mention s.a an incident of dyspepsia. Its direct cause, so far as is known, is the evolution of gas in the stomach, which rising in the throat bears with it particles of undigested food mingled with vitUted gastric juice. The acid of the latter stings the membrane as it rises. For this invariable and most unpleasant manifestation of dyspepsia. Hoetetter's Stomach Bitiers is an infaJiibte remedy, it should be taken before meals, when it not only promotes the secretion of gautric juioa and prepares the stomach for the reception of food, but gives a hearty relish for the Latter. It must not be supposed that its occasional uso will remove the cause of this symptom. Chronic dyspepsia is an obstinate malady, and requires tiino to remove. Whether taken to obviate ttiU, or for fever and asrue, rheamatism or constipation, use the Bitters peristeutty.

A Cure of Pneumonia. Mr. D. H.

She accepted it as a last resort, n.nd was surprised to find that it produced a marked change for the better, and by persevering in its use a cure was effected. A Wonderful Substance.
