It might, indeed, _ be doubted if in practical warfare the strategic erudition of our best military academies would be a match against the tricks of border outlaws, whose skill in outwitting the vigilance of their adversaries has often been perfected by the constant practice of many years. The plan of employing the soldiers of the refrular army in the service of the Revenue Department -was repeatedly tried by the French Government in the smuggler districts of the Pyrenees, but had at last to be abandoned as a sheer waste of time and trouble. In the more dangerous localities a line of picket posts has often been extended for miles on both sides of the headquarter camp, the interval between the sentries being so close that they could communicate without an extraordinary vocal effort, and in order to test their vigilance it had been made a rule that the hours and half hour? of the night must be called out by the corporal of each detachment, and repeated from post to post all along the line. About 2:45 a. m., in a specially dark night, the sentries near St. Sauveur, in the Department of Haute Pyrenees, shouted out "Three o'clock" with a distinctness that awakened hundreds of responses and brought out half a dozen non-commissioned officers at a double quick to ascertain the cause of the untimely vociferations. Angry discussions followed, and a few minutes later a gang flkft/lAmrr fswrrtc thft Hnft withill t ISA DUUUVTTJ tviUiO ? a few steps of a poor recruit who had been lepriraanded out of his wits and would not have ventured to run the risk of another false alarm if the whole force of Don Carlos bad passed by with all their field guns and ammunition wagons. The smugglers themselves had set the sentries a-shoutiag, for the double purpose of profiting bv the ensuing confusion and of ascertaining the exact position of each picket post. ? On another occasion a troop of mounted strangers challenged a sentry in good French and warned him to give the countersign more promptly in future, and, after ordering him to repeat his instructions, trotted off, leaving the betA A SMUGGLER KXTNKI wildered conscript under the impression that his cross-examiner must have been the commander of a cavalry patrol from some neighboring military post. The French Government derives a large share of its internal revenue from the duty on tobacco, and it has been estimated that an average of 2,500,000 pounds a year are smuggled across the Spanish and Belgian border in some way FOCR-FOOTKD SMUGGLERS. or other. Tobacco, cut up in narrow strips and rolled up with bundles ol Btraw, was for years carried across the Tournay canal bridges on hay wagons in broad daylight before the douaniere suspected the trick, though in pursuance of regulations they had always taken the precaution of prodding each load of hay with long-pronged forks. A still more ingenious stratagem was tried in the Ardennes between Philippevine and Rocroy. Finding that many of their matadors were personally known to the French gendarmes, a band of Belgian smugglers conceived the idea of training dogs for the purpose of crossing the line in moonlight, or even in day I time, during the prevalence of a mountain fog. With a little practice a stout dog could maiiageto trot and gallop with ei lead of twenty pounds, distributed evenly in small, pack-saddle-like bags, md fastened in the way that in stress of circumstances the four-footed messenger ;ould dash through the tangled underbrush without losing his cargo. Dogs lelected for that sort of work had ac:ompanied their masters on many prevous expeditious and came to understand he danger of the road so well that hey would now and then retrace their teps and hide in the thickets till the vening twilight enable:! them to resume heir journey with a better chance of afety. Frontier guards who had accilentally come across these four-legged ontrabandists reported that they would void the public roads as much as possii ble, and :it sight of a stranger would stop tc reconnoiter, and at the first suspicious symptom would turn aside and disappear like wolves in the gloom of the forest. Brussels laee9 were smuggled in on a similar plan. A few lean sheep were wrapped round aDd round with rolls of valuable dry goods and then covered with au artificial fleece so cunningly adjusted that the trick could not be easily detected if the woolly contrabands were driven along with a herd of stall-fed wethers. In the free port of Gibraltar English merchandise of various kinds can be bought about three times as cheap as in the neighboring cities of Malaga and Seville. The result is an irrepressible contraband traffic, carried on by land and by seu, by night and by day, but especially in winter, when sea fogs and long nights favor the smugglers. Fish ! ing smack9 hover in sight of the harbor and manage to appioach northbound | steamers at the first peep of dawn, when j nine out ten passengers arc fast asleep and no indiscreet eves are apt to notice such iittle private transactions as the picking up of a "float"?a package, varying in weight from twenty to a hundred pounds, wrapped up in a waterproof oilcloth and buoyed up by means of cork sirips. Half a dozen such floats can be dropped in an unobtrusive way after an exchange of preconcerted signals, and a few hours after the crew of the smack will transfer the consignment to accomplices awaiting their arrival in some unfrequented cove. Revenue cutters have found by experience that there A SHPPICIOUS CARGO. is no use in overhauling suspected vessels of that sort. No trace of a compromising article can ever be discovered, the contraband has been stowed away in double walls, or otherwise concealed in a manner to aeiy n committee 01 ierrew?, and as a last resort the smugglers would not hesitate to consign their cargo to the sea after weighting it sufficiently to insure its instant disappearance. By land, too, the illicit traffic is carried on with an activity that has made the custom-house officials tuspect every stranger of smuggling till an exhaustive search shall have proved either his innocence or his scrutiny-proof cunniDg. Respectably dressed and by no means iJy NO THE UAUXTLET. corpuleot-looking travelers were caught with s hundred yards cf costly ribbons under their waistcoats; logs of dye-wood dragged by sluggish steers, with a sleepylooking driver, turned out to be hollow and full of proof spirits; innocent geese were found to have been uoodled with jewelry in quantities sufficient to cause their death before the end of the day. The Greek-Albanian border is another - i -r classic nauui ot cue uuuirauauuisu The Turkish Government levie? land taxes -with rigor, but manufacturing interests are too insignificant to repay the trouble of assessment, and such home produce as shawls and brandy are cheap enough to be sold in modern Greece with considerable profit. Metakesphts, or thief-takers, range the border in strong patrols and fire upon every suspect who fails to stop at the word of command, but the smugglers are equal to such emergencies. With their contraband hidden just out of sight and their horses ready saddled they will bivouac for days 011 the safe side of the frontier, watching the movements of the guaids, and ready to improve a favorable opportunity at a minute's notice. If their chance comes they will snatch up a load of concealed sundries, strap them up in capacious saddle bags and run the blockade at a tearing gallop, but withal I making their hours run zigzag to confuse the aim of a possible sharpshooter. A ten minutes' start makes pursuit hopeless. The country abounds with oathless pine jungles, and the Greek rus tics rival the Sicilians iu their readiness to espouse the cause of a dnriug outlaw. Indeed, iu almost ali Europeon countries the sympathies of the common people are with the lawbreakers.?-P. L. Oswald, in San Francisco Chronicle.

Tthis season of the year a woman's thoughts are concenWM/il/lb/l\tk\ <rnh)/l nnnn nnhl/mr ?f fleets. The sunshade is such an effect When it harmonizes thoroughly with a < ostrnne the result is ji st pleasing. In the .initial illustration the sunshade is in haimony with the underskirt and sleeves. Jn this costume the underskirt and tight sleeves are Harm on lot's si'kshade. of a rich faille francaise and the bodice, overskirt and puffed sleeves of striped wool crepe. The collar, tab and belt are of fine gold gimp. You may make this gown up in dark and light heliotrope. The illustration depicts a dainty pown for a lawn party. The material is a figured foulard, pink geranium with white flowers. The bottom of the skirt is finished with a narrow scalloped band and below it two tiny ruffles of lace. I J --nr ? i.:,? l lie aress is set uu wiw a wuivc lav.c and the sleeves are also draped with lace. The V-shaped neck is filled in with a fichu of pleated gauze held in place by fancy pins. A LAWN PARTY COSTTMK. The so-called Japanese crepons, large and fantastic figures in blue on ecru grounds, are also very appropriate for garden parties. I saw one made up with huge bell sleeves reaching to the elbows and with lace under A OAKDEN PARTY COPTT'ME. sleeves. The corsage was jacket form, and had a deepdrn|>ed belt in surah of a darker Iilgl ' :' ? ?>o ^ AN EMPIRE GOWN. blue. The thing to uvoid for these outdoor fetes is all approach to the conventional street gown with its tailor made look. Strive as far as possible lo attain the quaint and picturesque. The illustration depicts an empire pown in embroidered batiste, made up over a skyblue jdace taffeta, the batiste being of a lighter shade. The guipure collarette and cuffs are in salt gray. Vol will note how the pleating is done at the front; at the back there is a Wattcau in gatifrcd pleating, j The sleeves are ai?o in fjaufred pleating. The ribbon used is in a light green velvet. Some of the combinations of mauve and I cream are delightful. For instance, an exquisite cream muslin printed with mauve sprigs of flowers is set oil'by a deep sash ol mauve and cream ribbon. The front of the corsage has ;i !:clw of lace brought down under the sash and the bottom of the skirt is gnrr.it 11 red with two tiny (Jounces, lace embroidered. The illustration depicts a lovely summer costume in barege and taffeta glace, very I appropriate for a garden party or lawn I party of any kind. The tafleta not only I serves to make the plastron, the collar, the revtrs, the sleeves, and the bias bands on the skirt, but it idso serves ;;s foundation for the barege. J'his gown must be made princess and be glove- tilting. The plastron is pleated over lining and the dress material i cut from under it. The puffed sleeves are j caught up with a bow of ribbon. Harden and lawn parties promise to be extremely popular (his season, and I have several more charming dresses to show you, each well qualified to figure at such fetes The exquisite textures and delicate tones now so modish are brought out in their full value by the green floors and darker green backgrounds furnished by the foliage, while the open air lends a color to the cheek and a vivacity to the manner which draw nig room or ball room is powerless to effect. The combination of iace and ribbons continues to be much in vogue. In one instance I saw a lace bodice wotmd around with ribbon from bust line to the waist, and then there was a loose, full bib falling from the throat to meet the ribbon corselet. The effect on a fine figure is altogether charm ing. In the matter of sleeves, I may say that the upward tendency has completely disappeared. Now they either droop down toward the elbow or s'and out in a straight line from the shoulders. For everyday wear as general knockabouts, nothing is so pretty and inexpensive withal as a serge skirt and a foulard blouse in some light color. Some blouses are made in accordion pleated crepe de chine and so cut as to overhang the waist line, with a }ace yoke at the throat and the same pleated effect in the full upper sleeves. The omnipresent Eton jacket in blue ^ergelooks very taking over an accordion pleated blouse of heliotrope creDe de chine. i HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. SMOKING PISH. Fish that are dried for use are first salted lightly, and then smoked by hanging them in a smokehouse and burning bark or wood under them. But little smoking is given unless the fish are intended for long keeping. The smoking preserves the fish by means of the pyrolirrnerma arid nroduced bv the smothered combustion of the wood and deposited in the flesh of the fish as the smoke cools. ?New York Times. DAINTILY ATTRACTIVE CURTAINS. The woman whose artistic ability ha9 to compensate for the slimne3s of her purse is never more successful than whea she is arranging the draperies for her summer room. Window-curtains of unusual daintiness and pretty effect were made by such a woman the other day. Fine cream^color cheese cloth was bought for eight cents a yard, whicn was to be used for bath curtains. The df>en hpm across the bottom was outlined with three rows of gilt thread. Ox-eyed daisies, bright yellow ones, with their dark brown centres, were painted with water-color paints here and there over the curtain, which hung in graceful folds from a brass rod. The side was caught back with a cord formed of tvisted gilt thread. The curtain was light and airy and of just the shade to temper the glare of the sun. Home-made curtains of white French lawn are pretty. Diiuty one3 have a design of forget-me-nots painted across the bottom. At each side they are held back with a blue and white ribbon cord formed of Mo. 1 ribbon twisted to form J a rope effect and finished with a ribDon I rosette. Curtains with narrow ribbons run through a deep hem at the bottom are also new and pretty.?New York World. JELLIES AND MARMALADES. Jelly making requires skill and care; only the best quality of fruit should be used for making it, writes M. J. Ashton in the New York Observer. Many housewives cook jelly too long, which makes it stvong and dark colored. Some fail in making jelly who have guod sucr>naa in /??nninrr and nreservlnff. A few P I O- ? rules will be of use to them: Use the best quality of white sugar; cook in a granite or porcelain lined kettle; boil the juice live minutes or more before adding the sugar; skim as often as any acum arises; dip the tumblers into hot water just before filling; have a jelly bag made of strong crash or white flannel; drain instead of squeezing the pulp; strain the jelly after it is cooked through cheese clotli just before putting it into the tumblers. Apple Jelly?Tart, juicy apples should be used. Maiden's Blush and the fall pippin are excellent for jelly. The Duchess and Rhode Island greening are good for late-made jelly. Wash and wipe the apples, and cut in quarters without peeling, cook in porcelain kettle with water to cover until soft; keep covered closely. Pour in a jelly bag aDd haag up to drain. Never squeeze or you will have marinaiade instead of jelly. Measure the juice aud put over the fire, allow allow threefourths of a pound of sugar for every pint of juice, heat the sugar in the oven; when the juice has boiled rapidly tea minutes add the sugar and boil five or ten minutes more, then try with the skimmer, dipping it in and out quickly; if it runs off in only one place it is not cooked enough for jelly; if it drips in two or three places it is ready to take off. Green Apple J ell y ? Green apple3 picked up in September before they are ripe, make a nice jelly. Wipe and cut up with skins on, stew with enough water to cook well, pour into a jelly bag and drain over night, measure the juice and allow three-fourths as much sugar as yuu littVC juu;c. Vyuua tuo juiug ten minutes rapidly before adding the sugar.then cook live minutes longer and test with the skimmer the same as the other iellv. Plum Marmalade?Take ripe plums, pour boiling water over them, take off the skins and take out the pits, then weigh, allowing one pound of sugar for every pound of fruit. Let them stand ten minutes before cooking; boil from fifteen to twenty minutes and dip out in tumblers; when cold, seal. Apple Marmalade?Peel, quarter and core pleasant tart apple?, cook in wutei until tender, then squeeze through 8 colacder. Measure and allow half a? much sugar as pulp, and cook together until thick; then pour into bowls and tumblers. tA Veteran Mr. Joseph Hemmerich, l?. Ut'.tli St., N. Y.
