nocIaiming Sand Wastes.

It is probable that tho next century will witness all except the bleakest. stormiest parts of the Atlantic coast covered with grass and vegetation to the waters edge. What can be done in this direction is apparent at the seaside hotels. An area covered by barren heaps of drifting sand is selected as the site of seashore resort. Nothing could be more unpromising than this sand, so far as producing any beauty of vegetation is concerned, yet in very few years grass, flower plots, vines and trees cover the leveled off sand heaps, and picturesque grounds that are thing of beauty sur round the hotel.
 As the country is more closely settled, it will be necessary to convert sand wastes into vegetable gardens and wood- lands. France has already shown the world how this can be accomplished. On the northwest French coast villages were formerly swallowed by drifting sands. driven by fierce winds. More and moro of the country became GOV cred with these, till it seemed as if the whole coast for several miles inland would bc necessarily abandoned to the sand duncs Six hundred miles of coast line were thus rendered barren. Then the government took measures to stop the desolation. Piles of wooden tim bers and brush were laid along the coast in line. The sand drifted into these and was caught, in time making sea wall and covering the brush. Then other timbers and branches were laid upon the first ones, and again the sands blew over and among them and made a fixed wall, higher yet. Tho timbers were laid about 300 feet from tho waters edge.
 In time | line of mound reaching along the whole coast was found. It sloped toward the sea gently. but more steepIy toward the land side. Beach grass. .and plants that would grow in sand were sown upon the slopes. Immediately be. hind the wall forest trees were planted, and in time the vegetation became as firmly fixed as any in France, and the set tiers were no longer swallowed up by sand. This began in l7s7. The whole northwest coast is now covered with d fine growth of valuable forest trees.

Feminist Canadian Annexation.

We arc always glad when a subject Of a monarchy or empire makes himself familiar with our republican system Of government and our constitution. It is with due respect, therefore, that we are disposed to listen to the statement of Hon. Peter Mitchell of Montreal that Canadian statesmen had made careful study of our constitution and modelled their own government upon it. Then says Hon. Peter, says he: Something like hundred years of trial had dis closed many defects in your democracy, We in Canada located those defects, avoided them and thus turned your test period to profit"
 MT. Mitchell knows the Canadian gov ernment system is better than ours be- cause he himself helped to frame it after locating tho defects" in the American system. Then ho proceeds to say that the sentiment of Canada is dead against annexation to this country and that any prominent Canadian official who would dare advocate it would bc committing political suicide.
 If Mir. Mitchell knows as much about Canadian annexation sentiment as he does about the constitution of the United States, he is wise man indeed. lIe says that while nothing will induce Canada to Do united politically with us, yet nevertheless she wants our tariff modified, and if she cannot get this done in the direction of reciprocity by con gress then she may have to contine tho reduction of tariff to states that will reciprocate." This wise Canadian states man, who avoided the errors of our sys tenn when he helped frame the Canadian government, evidently thinks each sepa- rate state of this Union makes its own tariff. We are pained to be obliged to point out this break and ask the Hon. P. M. to read the United States consti- tuition once more.

The history of large irrigating canal that supplies the fruit colony at River. side, Cal, shows how very small CreI- turc can sometimes defeat the work O. hundreds of grown men. The canal is g miles long and was built la yearS ago. Some years since it was discovered that the supply of water was rapidly di minishing from some unknown cause. Investigation showed that mischievous little gophers were burrowing holes in the canal and were running 1t. There was nothing to be done but to line the banks and the bottom of the ditch with cement through it's whole length, and this work had to be postponed till the rainy season was on, so the canal would not be needed for irrigatiuS purposes After the gophers were shut out it was found that the canal conveyed twice as much water as it did bcfoie, tho animals having wasted one-half.

An Ice Charity.

In some of the large cities this sum- mer benevolent individuals have organ ized and conducted a charity as helpful as it is unique. It consists of contribut- ing funds to supply the very poor of the tenement house districts with free ice. At convenient points in the most thickly settled and wretched of the tenement re- gions blocks of ice are deposited, while skilled workmen saw tho blocks up and distribute them among the needy who call for them.
 The charity has been especially valu- able in saving the lives of infants. In the hottest days it is impossible to keep milk sweet or food fresh moro than 9 few hours without ice, and the puny babes are too often literally starved. To the ice gratuitously bestowed this sum- mer grown people of the twentieth cen tury will owe the fact that they are liv- ing, happy men and women, with fair chance to fight and win, instead of dy- ing in infancy and having their starved little bodies turn to dust in pauper graves.
 Supcrintcndenco of the ice distribution is intrusted sometimes to district chari- ties, again to the city physicians author. ized to attend the poor free of charge Or ders for the ice are obtained from these. This distribution of free ico among the needy may bc the coldeSt charity ever devised, but it is also one of the most worthy.

Not later than Sept. 10 the so called Cherokee Strip will be opened for settle ment. United States officials are already on the ground perfecting arrangements. The Strip will be divided into nine new counties, eight of them being arran ;el in two tiers. The ninth county will include the late Pdwnee reservation. These in fant counties are thus far nampless. being merely lettered alphabetically, Settlers of lively imagination will be able to christen them speedily once the Strip is open. For convenience of settlers four land offices will be located in different places,
