A SMUGGLERS' BEFUGE, THE RENDEZVOUS FOR NORTH AMER ICA IS ON FRENCH ST. PIERRE. The Isle Off the Southern Coast of New fonndland Is the Nesting Place, for the Boldest Contrabandista on Earth - Some of Their Knses. Twelve miles off the southern coast ci Newfoundland is the smugglers' tendezTons of North America. St. Pierre and Miquelon, little islands, the largest of which is not more than three by five miles, long ago - e Jed to the French by the British, are as com pletely different from the rest of the world as if they were in Mars. To this antiquated, unknown, isolated haren the most utter anchorite or abandoned criminal might resort with positive certainty of being as com pletely, cut off from modern existence as if buried in a sepulchre. The agents of foreign governments are not tolerated in Si Pierre-the capital nnd only town of the islands-none of the great liners call there, and ex cept for fishing schooners, -there may be said to be no traffic between this and other ports. That does not im ply, however, there is no traffic at St. Pierre; but her peculiar traffic is of the kind that shuns known harbors, sneaks into hidden coves of the New England, Canadian and Newfound land coasts, and there, under cover of darkness, deposils cargo in such strange places as graveyards, church vaults and stable lofts. Nominally, St. Pierre is the radiating point for the French fishing fleet that yearly comes ont 20,000 strong to ply for cod on the Grand Banks until Octo ber; in reality, St Pierre is the nest ing-place for the most arrant smug glers on the face of the earth. Four days from New York via Halifax, or a few hours' run from some of the southern harbors of New foundland-if one be lucky enough to get a passage in a chance schooner crossing from Burin-the three islands, St Pierre, furthest north, Great Miquelon and Little Miquelon, or Langdale, are picturesque enough to be an.'artist's paradise. The rocky shore rises sheer oat of the sea, naked and frowning, from 600 to 1090 feet There is LO sign of life, as approach ing boats almost graze the iron wall, till the prow pokes round some rocky elbow, a narrow vista, between beat ling crags appears, and beyond is a mass of motionless masts. A grizzled French pilot, with brass ear-rings and bright tawdry smock, clambers up the side of the visiting steamer and guides her to mid-harbor, where, in addition to three-masted and two-masted schooners, to brigs and barks, to skiffs and dories and fishing smacks of every sort and size, may be seen French men-of-war sent out to enforce French claims on the treaty shore. - The town nestles on a scooped-out saucer of land on the steep hill side. The houses of the quaint, narrow streets are close built often white washed inside and ont low-raftered and always gay with boxes of flowers along each window-sill. From the street one may catch glimpses of higb, old-fashioned canopied beds against the inner walls. Everywhere are light-hearted Breton, Basque or Nor man girls, pattering about in wooden shoes, washing clothes at the bauks of some stream, or carrying baskets of fish on their heads. Faggot gath erers toil up narrorv, steep paths to their match-box cottages, while the Basque peasant's ox-cart creaks in mid-road, keeping time with the monotonous "allez-allez-marchez dono" of the men plodding behind. A French gendarme,, distended with pompous importance and gorgeous in costume of red, blue and gold, struts about keeping order among the blue bloused sailors who slouch in and out of the numerous rumshopa. What are known in ether parts of the world as modern conveniences are unknown in St Pierre. Instead of a fire department St. Pierre employs old-fashioned curfew; and her curfew is a rub-a-dub of a drum nightly beaten by the town crier for all lights out at 10 p. m. The American head quarters of the French Cable Co. are, indeed, the only reminder of modern progress to be found in St. Pierre. When 1000; vessels of the Graud Banks fleet from France invade the little harbor evory spring, and 20,000 foreign fishermen, speaking a strange jargon and careless of their conduct fill the town to overflowing, it re quires all the pomp of the law in the gendarme's person, as well as the au thority of the silent, -black-robed priests, to maintain the peace. With out the Bank fleet, St. Pierre num bers a population of only 5000. Never theless, merchants retire with a for tune of many million france, ..cumu lated within a few years, and the rea son for this, is the strange traffic which St Pierre plies. Boats have- been known to pass out of St. Pierre with two masts showing and white Bails flying. Passing' some point on the south shore of New foundland, the same boat might dis play three masts and yellow sails, while up the Gulf of St. Lawrence only two masts might be visible' and the sails bia jk. Shonld such a chameleon change of complexion excite the curi osity of some revenue officer, he might search the schooner from stem to stern without finding anything bnt a few quintals of cod; and if he did not prove unpleasantly inquisitive with the skipper, there might possibly be a complimentary flask of liquor left at his door by an unknown hand that same night The revenue officer, however, who knows the tricks of St Pierre craft pries into false bulk heads, fish casks in the hull, and salt barrels lying promiscuously about the deck; and he is usually rewarded by finding stuff which costs a dollar a gallon it St Pierre and this, judi ciously doctored by nru water and col oring drugs, may be increased in a way that is miraculous and sold for $4 a gallon to the inhabitants of Que bec ol the fishermen of Newfound land. Discovery generally ends in confiscation of the schooner, which is sold at auction and bought for a song by some secret agent of the same smugglers' ring. In Newfoundland it is not judicious to make inquiries about smuggling, whether appeal be made to a Sunday school superintendent or a member of the Colonial legislature. Not a great while ago, a free hand was given the chief of police to suppress smuggling, and there was such swift convic tions of lay preachers, vestry men, members of the legislature and public prop?, besides a host of obscure operators, it is doubtful if Bach a free hand will ever be given to that officer again. To learn the in side workings of. St Pierre smuggling ono must go to the out-of-the-way harbors of Newfoundland's south shore and mingle with the fisherfolk, not as a detective, but as a friendly seeker after knowledge. The coast is in dented with rocky hiding-places, where jo crnieer can follow, and fog so fre jnenily hangs over the sea that a N'ewfoundland fisherman - ?an slip THE NATIONAL BUNK OF AUGUSTA I L. C.

He wears broad, coarse shoes, the same wide-cut black trousers and blue blous that marks his nationality, showing that even if he Is ? Christian and a reverend there is nothing of the freak about this distinguished China man. There is scarcely a trace of di alect in his conversation and he uses the choicest of language. Talking recently to some Interested American, he said: ;'I think the time has come when the prejudice so long standing against my race is beglnnning to die away. This is especially so in places where the Chinese are more numerous. For in stance, there is much less feeling in California than there is In the East ern cities, where there are fewer Chi namen. As we gradually work into the public ways, and arc more met with, we become a part of the country, and of late there have been more rap id strides than ever before in the ad vancement of good feeling for us. "This good feeling reached its height last year, when the Chinese people were invited to participate In the Fourth of July celebration In San Francisco. They responded so well that -the public press came out the day afterward and said the Chinese had given the . best display of any part of tho programme. We are an easy peo ple to get ?long with when we are un derstood, and the American people are beginning to understand us. In San Francisco we are a necessity, and I do not know how that city could get along without us now. "Of course, In religious matters tba Chinese arc hard to change. We are a race that sticks to tradition very close ly, but when we do change we are firm In our beliefs and can be depend ed upon. I think those who are not prejudiced, and who have lived among us In this country, will say that on the average we make good citizens. Of course wc like this country, oise wo would not remain here.

Its mean tem perature is lt; degrees centigrade above absolute zero. Professor Dewar Fays, willi reference to his latest achievement : " The last doubt as to the possibility of solid hydrogen having a metallic character has been removed, and for the future hydrogen must be classed among the nou-ine tallic eloments.

A writer on the subject of plaut pathology says that plants need doc tors quite as urgently in their way as humau beings do. Horticulturists have long admitted that tho best way of making plants profitable is to keep them in robust conditiou. But it is not every one who knows how to do this-in fact, the practico of plant medicino is in its infancy. A horti - cultural expert expresses the belief that a lime must come when every agricultural district will have its plant doctor, and when specialists in animal parasites, cryptogramic botany and bacteriology will be consulted in difneut cases as the medical specialist is now called iu by tho practitioner. School Pupils Adopt nales of Etiquette. A new departure which has been inaugurated by the Waterloo high school of Auburn,Ind., may be adopted by the schools of the country. About 1?0 of the pupils have signed their names to the following rules of eti quette: J. We will not communicate nor ask tocommnnicate while ihjthe school bnildiug. 2. We will keep refined positions in our school seats. >, 3. We will cultivate a light step. 4. We will not ask for individual favors. 5. We will prepare all writing ma terial in the morning. P. We will make the schoolroom a place of quietude. These rules on general manners also have been sigued: 1. Wo will not allow others to be moro polite to us than weare to them. 2. We will not make ourselves odious in the use of tobacco. And hero aro some street manners: I. Wo will, on passing people on the street, give them half of the walk. ?. We will not jeer at anyone on the street or off the street. :J. We, the gentlemen, will tip our hats to ladies. 4. Wo will avoid being boisterous wherever we may be.

Shoemakers and haberdashers who cater to the wants of tho elite assert that their patrons 1his sensou demand hosiery and shoes averaging from one half to one and a half sizas larger than they did five years ago. Tho majoiity of the dealers believe .that the average length and breadth of men's feet have been steadily increas ing since the wane of the fashion which demanded a pointed toe and tight fitting shoe. This they explain by saying that tho effect of the style in vogue six year? ago was to cramp and distort theii?t ural development of the feet. When the style changed and comfort became the criterion of fashion nature again exerted itself. Feet which had become distorted during the reign of the nav row shoe and pointed toe slowly be gan to broaden and adapt themselves to their new surroundings. The ohauge, being gradual, went for a long time unnoticed, and not until the merchants recently began to cc ?i pare their sales of five years ago with those of today was it fouud that the averago increase has been approxi mately one size.-New York Herald.
