HAVE CONFESSED
TO MANY CRIMES
Counterfeiters Captured and Im
plicate Many Others In Num
erous Crimes.
New York, Orl. 11.—Four men
who were arrested by the sefcret
service ollicials and turned over
to-the state authorities on the
charge of attempting to pass
counterfeit money have confess- j
ed. Their confession implicates
many others in hundreds of
crimes which include dynamiting
of buildings, arson, murder, lar
ceny and blackmailing.
I nc* confessions implicate lor- j
1y persons, fourteen of whom
have been arrested. The lives of
the men who have confessed have
been threatened by the others.
The police believe, that the arrest
of the four men and (heir con
fessions will lead to the breaking
up and conviction of the gang
which has kept the foreign set
tlement here in a slate of ter
ror for years. The confessions
have been verified by the reports
of (lie police ledger of crimes
which were never cleared up.
The men who confessed arc all
foreigners and were, attempting
to circulate counterfeit money,
and their capture was brought
about through a clever ruse by
the secret service detectives.

OPENING A NEW BOOK.
If N«t Den* Preparly the Baok ef the
Volume May Be Broken.
• A great many people have the im
pression that there is no more meth
od in opening a new book than in
taking the cover off a shoe box. As
a matter of fact, a great deal de
pends on how carefully one opens a
brand new book.
Many rare and costly volumes are
damaged, and in some instances
the bindings are broken through j
carelessness or ignorance in opening |
them. Do not yank the covers wide :
open haphazard or hold the leaves !
tightly and force the covers wide j
open. !
Just hold the book with its back |
on a smooth or covered table, let
the front board down, then the oth
er, holding the leaves in one hand
while you open a few leaves at the
back, then a few at the front, and j
so* on alternately opening back and
front, gently pressing open the sec
tions till you reach the center of the
volume. Do this two or three times |
and you will obtain the best results, j
Open the volume violently or care- ■
lessly in any one place and you will ■
likely break the back and cause a j
start in the leaves.
Never force the back. If it does !
not-yield to gentle opening, the j
back is too tightly or strongly lined.
“A connoisseur,” writes William
Matthews in “Modern Bookbind
ing Practically Considered,” “years
ago an excellent customer of mine,
who thought he knew perfectly how
to handle books, came into vny office
when 1 had an expensive binding
jyst brought from the bindery ready
to be sent home, lie, before my
eyes, took hold of the volume, and
tightly holding the leaves in each
hand instead of allowing them free
I play, violently opened it in the ccn
I ter and exclaimed, 'How beautifully
| your bindings open!’ I almost faint
i ed. He had broken the back of the
j volume, and it had to be rebound.”
The Antake-Muko-Yuma Crystal.
Possibly the most wonderful, us
well as the largest crystal in the
whole world is the one exhibited in
the Boston Museum of fine Arts.
It was found by explorers in the
mountain of Antake-Muko-Yuma,
in Japan, in 1S7G. It has been own
ed by several wealthy persons and
I was finally presented to the Boston
I museum'by a person who is said to
| have paid thousands of dollars for
i it. No little time and care were re
I quired to cut, dress and polish this
crystal, which resembles a huge
i bubble when viewed from a distance,
j It is about fourteen inches in di
I ametcr the long way and twelve
! inches in thickness, weighing about
' eighteen pounds. Other crystals in
^ different museums are large and
! handsome, but nothing like the An
] take-Muko-Yuma stone.—Philadel
! phia North American.
African Ivory Smugglers.
Ivory smuggling is looked upon
: as a very serious crime in British
1 Fast Africa, and this is only as it
1 should be, for in order to secure the
I ivory the traders have to kill great
numbers of elephants. The game
preservation laws, particularly as
regards elephants, are most severe,
and woe betide the man who is
caught breaking the game regula
tions or in possession of illicit spoils
of the chase. _ The smuggling of
ivory therefore is treated in the
same manner as smuggling gems
and clothing into the United States,
illicit diamond buying in South Af
rica, or other forms of smuggling
in Fngland. The rigid laws, how
ever, do not prevent the Arabs and
Indians from indulging in an illegal
trade in ivorv on a large scale.—
Wide World. '
When Tea Was Not Popular.
A description of a model country
rector’s household in a journal of
1753 shows that tea drinking was
then far from general: % :
“His only article of luxury is tea,
but the doctor says he would forbid
that, if his wife could forget her
London education. However, they
seldom offer it but to the best com
pany, and loss than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth.”
A few years prior to this the Fe
male Spectator declared that the
tea table “costs more to support
than would maintain two children
at nurse. It is the utter destruction
of all economy, the bane of good
housewifery, and the Bource of idle
ness.”—London Chronicle.
Ended Abruptly.
Prom Germany comes this story
about a novelist and an editor. The
editor had ordered a story of a cer
tain length, and the novelist had
written several hundred words too
many. In order to make the story
lit the space at his disposal, the laBt
f$w paragraphs were condensed into
a single sentence. This is the way
it read: “Von Berken took u small
glass of whisky, his hat, his depar
ture, no notice of his pursuers, a re- j
volver out of his pocket, and fhtally, I
his life.” 1
