GOOD NEWS FROM THE JETTIEs.

. Capt Eads last night received dispatches
from the jetties Of the most cheering charac-
ter. Very remarkable changes have occurred
where the crest Of the bar formerly existed.
Throughout q distance of about 5000 feet, at
the extreme end of the works, an immense
amount of deposit has been removed and
carried to sea within the last three days.
What constituted the old original crest Of the
bar, and which continued 10 have but or 8
feet depth on it up to period not fifty days
past, may pow. be said to have vanished for
ever; for, at this place there is now from II
to "a feet of water. Throughout distance of
nearly half mile within the sea end Of the
jetties the depth is fully II feet The shoalest
water is now IA feet and is at point 5000
feet from the sea.
From this point out the water grows deeper
and deeper, and where it was only IA feet be-
tween the ends Of the jetties. it is now 20 feet.
Four hundred feet beyond the jetties the
depth is "a feet. There is q width of $50 feet
in which the depth is not less than Is feet,
extending up between the jetties 600 feet,
where only u feet Of water existed sixty days
ago.
All Of this remarkable change is due to the
action of ~ sea during the past two or three
days of stormy weather. Inasmuch as the
depth of the river current is gagged to IA
feet by the present crest, which is now 5000
feet from the sea end Of the jetties, this &C.
ton at the outer part Of the channel has been
much more effective, because the sea ends of
the jetties have been brought up to high tide
nearly out to their intended limits within the
last three weeks
The wave action within them has enabled
the water to be highly charged with the origi-
nal bar deposits. which have in this way been
carried oat to sea by the constant outflow OF
the river. The channel deepens very rapidly
above the present crest, and this fact indi-
Gates that deepening Of the crest is close at
hand-indeed, we may confidently look for a
depth of eighteen or twenty feet through the
ietties before the end of the month.

outside Of the cars, and rail. Along
this board and holding to the rail the
guard makes his way as best he can while
the train is in motion, and then puts his
head in at the window and looks at your
ticket. The rope which communicates
with the locomotive Is on the outside OF
the cars, on the side, above the doors. In
Switzerland the American and European
systems have been combined. The cars
are built in compartments, but there is
nm inside communication between them.
You will look in vain for water coolers
or for water closets. The only country
in which found them on the cars was
Sweden. The baggage Is carried IN one
apartment OF 4 passenger car, and may
be in any part Of the train. Each pack
ACE or trunk has the name Of its destina:
ton pasted on it by means Of q printed
label. The cars are first, second, Third, and
in Germany fourth class. The main
difference between them Is in the
shane Of the seats and in the uphols:
tsrihg. In Great Britain the third
class cars are apt TO be without
cushions. The price Of the tickets for
third class Is about half whatit is for the
frat. Most travellers go by second and
third class cars. They are very comfort
able. All classes 20 by the same train.
The only exception 10 this rule which ]
met was 10 one or two instances in France
and Belgium. On few Of the roads Of
England Pullman cars have been intro
duced, but they are said to be unpopular
and likely TO be abandoned, One COM
fort about the railways Of Europe Is the
porters and guards. They are numerous
and always quick to answer your ques=
tions and 10 do your bidding.

Total increase ... J, 800, 2UZ
The seven States of Florida, Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon
and Wisconsin have also taken censuses
this year, and with results only partial
ly known to us. We estimate the in
crease of population in them at 6S5, 600.
The total increase in fifteen States would
thus be little over 1000, 200 since the
general census of 1870. The fifteen
States named had in 1870 a little more
than third the population of the
United States. If we assume a common
average progress in all, the increase in
all should, at this time, be upward of
100000, swelling the population of the
United States to Al 100000.
The figures above given, for the eight
States, have been definitely ascertained
and announced since the Superintendent
of the United States Census Bureau pre-
pared his last annual report to Congress.
The Superintendent, in that report, took
n gloomy view of the comparatively
small results to be derived from the an
ticipated State census of 1875" and
erred, we think, in expressing the opin-
ion that "enough is already known to i'll
dicate clearly that the progress of our
population has received temporary
check" The figures do not show it

Remedy for Scarlet Fever.

The San Francisco Chronicle state-
that Robert Christie, of the Protero,
prescribes a remedy for scarlet fever
which he says has invariably proved sue
cessful. 1t is as follows Take an onion
and cut it in halves, cut out portion of
the center, and into the cavity put a
spoonful of saffron; put the pieces to-
gether; then wrap in cloth and bake in
the oven until the onion is cooked SO
that its juice will run freely. Then
squeeze out all the juice and give the
patient teaspoonful, at the same time
rubbing the chest and throat with goose
grease or rancid butter, il there is any
cough or soreness in the throat. In n
short time the fever will break ont i'll an
eruption oil over the body. All that
then is necessary is to keep the patient
warm and protected from draft, and re-
covery is certain. Mr.. Christie says he
has been employing this remedy for
many years, and never knew it to fail
when proper care was taken OF the pa
tient after the application.

The Good Boy Who DisObeyed His
Mother.

Last Wednesday, Eddie House, George
Mayberry and Frederick Pray, each
about eight years of age, living at Quin
cy Point, went out on Town River on
the ice, to slide. Eddie, in sliding too
near the channel fell through an ice
hole, and the other two, after fruitless
efforts to rescue him called out for help.
Herbert Mott, aged about twelve years,
who had just arrived home from school,
hearing the cries, dashed off at full
speed, to the great chagrin of his moth
er, who had charged him to return home
Immediately at the close of school, to go
on an errand. She saw him run toward
the river, and was planning punish
ment for the disobedient but hitherto
very obedient Herbert, who, however,
had satisfied himself that he was needed
more on the river. When little Eddie
saw him coming, he cried out, "Oh
save me, Herbert 1 shall drown"
Herbert replied, "No you won't unless /
drown with you" Then taking Georges
sled and pushing it into the water, telling
Eddy to lay hold of it, he drew him
safely out and took him to his fond
mother. Probably Eddie will be more
careful in the future.-BoSton Traveller.

Some Old People.
A LONG-LIvED FAMILY.


The Concord On. II. Monitor says;
&C. w. Moore received an application
for policy on the life of man in Lam
caster, few days ago, which furnished
the following remarkable record of lon
gevity on both sides of his ancestors
Grandparents-OL fathers side: Grand
father, 110 years; grandmother, 95 years.
On mothers side: Grandfather, 100
grandmother, 9S years. His mother is
living, aged 105 years, and the father
died at 103 years. He has eight brothers
and sisters living, of the following ages
20, 6S. sc, Ga, so, 60, SO and 40 years
respectively. Five children died i'll in
fancy"
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED.
The Troy Press contributes the follow
ing: Mr.. Peter Hammond, now living
with his daughter, Mrs. Alfred Taylor,
at Geneseo, Henry County, H., was born
at Newton, Mass. (then called Newtown),
April 8, 1776. His father, Samuel Ham.
mond, was one of the old patriots of the
Revolution, and died in 1912 at the age
of "a years. One of his brothers died a
year or two ago, aged nearly 80. Mr..
Hammond is member of the Methodist
Church, and walks nearly mile on
pleasant Sundays to attend his favorite
church. He has been an exceedingly
temperate man in all his habits Though
not teetotaler, he has eaten and drank
In great moderation, and has never used
tobacco in any form. This venerable
gentleman walks around town without
cane, reads without glasses, eats well,
sleeps well, and seems as happy as most
mortals of half his years"
DOUBLE GOLDEN WEDDING.
There was noteworthy celebration in
Millport, Chemung County, on the 7th
inst, being the fftieth wedding ami
versary of two couples by the same min
lister, and both couples being alive. The
Elmira AdUertiSer says that their names
are Mr.. and Mrs. John benson, of Mill
port, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bostwick Be
ment, of Jackson, Bradford County, Pa.
December 7, 1925, these gentlemen es-
poused two step-sisters, Miss ChristiaI.a
G. Coston and Miss Philana Tanner.
They were welded at the house of
George Tanner, who had married the
widow Coston, and lived about nile
southerly from the village of Trumans-
burg, Tompkins County. Elder Oliver
Comstock, who performed the ceremony
in 1925, being long since dead, Rev. M.
+. Dewitt ofliciated in his stead, and
Charles G. Coston, p. S. Tanner, Chris
topher G. Coston, and Alfred Tanner,
four of the witnesses tor the marriage,
were present at this anniversary.
