OIL TO LAY DUST.

The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Company sprinkled sec tion of the Air Line division with crude oil last Thursday. The section is between Chestnut Hill station, about four miles west of Willimantic and Westchester, about seven miles. It required 1000 gal Ions of crude oil
 The oil is spread by sprinkler made especially for the work, so constructed that 1t delivers the oil near the ground, and about six feet on each side of the track, making total width of nearly six teen feet. The mechanism of the sprinkler is such that the oil is spread evenly over the entire surface, except that not drop touches the rails, which of course could not be permitted, as it would render them unfit for use. The top surface of he ties is, of course, thoroughly oiled. Two or three sprinklings year will be enough.
 Where the sprinkling has been done is very noticeable both by the much dark CT color of the surface and by the very pro- nouncec odor, which, however, is not so strong as to be unpleasant. "The Courant" reporter rode over the division to-day on the five-hour flyer and the trip demonstrated to a marked degree the wisdom of the experiment.
 Much of the road between Middletown and Willimantic has been rebuilt during the past two years and most of the new ballasting has been with the gravel con- posed largely of very fine sand. Be- tween East Hampton and Westclester there was section of mile or two where the cloud of dust was so great that the track could not be seen fifty feet behind the rear car. It was cloud which took several minutes to settle. But between Westchester and Chestnut Hill, where the track had been treated with oil, 8 speed of 52 or 60 miles raised no more dust than would have been the case had copious shower just fallen. There will probably be an immediate demand for more oil on the Air Line. .-Harttord C09IrG71t.

What He Played.

A member of military band at a certain barrack came to the surgeon re- gently with a long face and a plaintive story about a sore throat
 Sore throat, eh, said the surgeon pleasantly. Let me see. Oh, that's not so bad. A slight irritation; not hing more. You'll be all right in a day or two, 1 think you had better take no risk in renewing the trouble by using your throat, though, so I will recon mend you for a fortnight's sick leave. 1"
 Armed with the surgeons certificate, the bandman obtained his two weeks sick leave. The two weeks had just come to an end when he met the sur geon on the parade ground. The band man saluted. The surgeon recognized the face and stopped.
 "How's the throat?' be asked pleas antly.
 'It's quite well, sir,' was the reply.
 That's good," said the surgeon. "You can get back to your duty with out fear. By the way, what instrument do you handle ill the tand?''
 ''The small drum, sir," said the mu- sician. News.

AGURAI IN MAROCCO.
The Whole Population of the Town Is
 Descended From Renegades.

Agura is small town surrounded with walls of from 40 to 50 feet in height and built of tabia, or con- solidated rubble. It owes its existence to Mulai Ismail, who held the throne of Marocco from I722-1757 One gate alone gives entrance to the place, and in this respect, as we'll as in its archi- lecture within and without, it much resembles the "ksor" of the Sahara de- scribed ill the writer's "Tafilet.' But it owns one feature of curiosity which was lacking in the desert, for almost without exception the entire population are descendants of the renegades and Christian slaves of the time of Mulai Ismail, with the addition of stray rene- gades who have been sent there since. Probably no such cosmopolitan place exists in the world. for its 800 or 400 inhabitants are representative of no less than 13 nationalities Each family re, members and is proud of its origin, the Arab equivalent being applied as sur names.
 The family in whose home the writer spent the few days of his visit were Flemish, while the next door neighbor on one side was an elderly female. whose father, an Englishman, had be- come renegade some 80 years since, and who quickly tired of it, leaving a wife and daughter, the neighLor in question. The other neighbors were the descendants of Spanish gypsies, the head of the family being "ALsalam ben Mohammed el Gitano el Espanoli. !" They were particularly proud of the 'Gitano" (gypsy) part of the surname and begged me not to confound them with the ordinary Spaniards, of whom there were many der cendants in Agurai The ancestor of this gypsy family was two generations back. He had left his country, they naively told the writer, because he was not on good terms with his sultan, who wanted to imDrison him, being afraid of his influence. Prob ably it was more of an affair of the po- lice courts than political intrigue.
 The "Ulad el Aluj" ("sons of the converts"), ), as the inha bitants of Agurai are called, have entirely, except in one or two cases, lost the type of their Flu ropean ancestry, and through marriage, no doubt, are as largely Berber ill ap- pearance as the wild tribes that sur round them They speak among them selves both Arabic and Berber, and foreign accent, easily distinguishable. They are exempt from all taxation, but have to serve ill the sultan S army, where they perform the duties of cooks and butchers. s.-Geographical Journal

No Longer Any Need to Go Through Flu
 rope With Them.
 Up to times within the memory of living men almost no one of means travelled through Europe without a courier. Before railroads were built and before good guidebooks were print ed he was almost indispensable. His tribe survives, but in greatly dimin- ished numbers To the self reliant trav- eler he is of no use whatever. Indeed be is frequently positive incum br ance, and worse. To my mind one of the great pleasures of travel is in learning to travel by myself There are satisfao- tion, pleasure and education in plan ming routes, deciphering time tables, making bargains, learning by ohserva- tion the lay of the land.
 The time may have been when a courier could save traveller more than his cost. Most certainly that is not the case now. On the contrary, as he gets a percentage on every purchase his party makes, which, of course, comes out of the purchaser in increased price, and as it is often for his interest to advise the more costly route, the more costly nOUel or the more costly eGCurS1On, he eats up much more than his wages, while saving positively nothing Bean declares that in a two weeks trip in southern Spain, which he made side by side with couple having a courier, he invariably reached the hotel first, got better rooms and saw all the sights to as good advantage, yet the courier WIS. of his kind, an expert The fact is that travel has become so general, tourist companies, railroads and landlords have so we'll studied it's needs, books are so plentiful. that you couldn't very well get off the track or have mishap if you ried.-Herbert Luce in "Going Abroad.

some dead letter statutes
 AN EMINENT SPECIALISTS OFFER Some people are always going to doctors and are never we'll. A large portion of their income goes for doctors advice and medicines that will do no good. The question of health is a vital one; but the diseases that ruin lives are the chronic nervous and blood complaints that the To- cal practitioner is wholly unable to cope with. For all such disorders, for all dis eases arising out of the blood and nerves, the remedies discovered by Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York city, one of whose discoveries is the world fam ous NeIvura, provide the cure. These remedies are so uniformly successful that they demonstrate themselves to be what they really are, the provision made by nature for the cure of such ills. This great specialist discovered them after years of search and practice, and they have brought health to thousands. Dr. Greene charges nothing for consultation and gives his advice, which sthe advice of his great experience also, absolutely free. Every person, rich or poor, is well come to consult him, either personally or by letter. The consultatio n inspires hope and the treatment cures.

A stomachful of undigested food is about as unhealthy mass as one can we'll imagine.
 What can be done with it?
 There 1t stays. It won't digest. It churns up, ferments and decays; becomes poisonous Gas all putrid matter does) and causes great pain and deep seated dis orders. ,
 In order to change all this, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. .-r
 It stops fermentation and decay at once so that no more poisons are created.
 It clears the stomach of poisons already there. It helps 1t turn the food that re- mains, into healthful nouIishment. It strengthens the stomach for the next meal.
 Here is the whole philosophy and cure of indigestion in few words. And what's more, it's all true. Try 1t.
 Shaker digestive cordial is for sale by druggists, price 10 cents to q bottle.
