LORD SALISBURY.

abtu L couple Of centuries ago, tie builders
adorned the exterior Of tho tower with the
heads of famous saints carved in stone. and
prominent among these was the head of st.
Giles. Even saints monuments are not ex-
empt from the weather. Wind and rain played
around the heads OF the images and slowly
but surely the features Of the heads gu ,cumbed
tp the onslaught. First the roses went, then
the chins and finally the features were un-
recognizable. and the heads at last had the ap-
pearance OF heing nothing but smooth stone
balls. The church itself was Also falling into
decay. and twelve or fifteen years ago the rec
tor and curates decided that something must
be done to save the fame from utter ruin.
A meeting OF parishioners and other, inter
estod in local religious work was convened,
and many appeals were made to the hearts
and pockets OF those present. The result of
the affair was that within comparatively
short time sufficient sum was obtained to en-
tirely renovate the sacred building-8t least.
so far as It's exterior was concerned. a clever
architect and sculptor was sought out, and.
and business record were considered su fcient

the church could compare with any parish

Not long ago man was standing near the
church and looking up Mt the tower abstract

SANDY NOOK AN ISLAND.
An IAIet to the shrowsbury Ont by the
Last Mig storm.

AsAbt ntg F@torAi.
Since the big storm of Oct. l2 and Il swept
up the coast the northern end OF Sandy Hook
has beon transformed from a peninsula into
an island. Four miles south OF the old New
Jersey Southern Railroad boat landing and
five miles south OF the point OF the Hook is the
bathing resort OF Highland Beach. The bath
ing grounds arc just across the Shrewsbury
River from the two big lighthouses known as
Highland Lights. For full mile the strip
OF beach is very narrow, and In that dista CO
there Is no point where the river and ocean
are separated by more than 100 yards. Jstties
and bulkheads have been erected, and many
train loads OF stone have been dumped here in
past years to protect tho railroad track from
ocean storms, and the preventive meas
storm came along. Now the sea comes through
into the shrewsbury by way or an in .eL uUO
yards In width, and the breakers make the
little river steamers roll as they pass by the
inlet on their way up to New YORK
Years ago, before the railroad company had
TO abandon the Hook altogether Ia the Federal
Government, long and heavy pilinR was driven
to support tho track. il WAS driven deep and

In England such games draw between 10000
