Any woman may insure the health of her

her children depends almost entirely upon

and very few people can answer the
question. It Is Of special interest to
note just now that 1t was inoculated
in a story Of Spanish affairs.
DR.. John Arbuthnot, one of the MANY
royal physicians to whom the Scotch
city Of Aberdeen has given birth. was
the author OF John Bulls being. Al
most forgotten now by all but the

GRADE SURVEY FINISHED.
An Almost Level Road from Newport

An Almost Level Road from Newport
News to Hampton.
The grade survey for the Newport
News and Old Point Railway has been
completed and the maps and profile OF
the route are now in the hands of Mr.
Payne. Engineer Semple says that the
road will be almost level from Newport
News to Hampton. AS the line is
straight from Washington avenue to
La Sale avenue. mile above this city,
where there is an easy curve by which
1t turns toward the head of Holt street,
the running time between the two
cities will hardly exceed fifteen min
.lteS.
The hardness of the Newport News
council in settling the bridge question
has been the subject of considera BILE
comment here during the past two Or
three days. The people Of Hampton
are anxious to see bridges constructed
at both Twenty-ffth and Twenty
eighth streets. Mr.. Darling's road has
now and will continue to have many
patrons, and public opinion here is in
clined to regard the delay in affording
him-a safe means of crossing the c. &:
Q. tracks as an act Of injustice. This
view of the matter is made stronger by
the fact that he has agreed to bear a
liberal share of the expense incurred
in the construction of bridge. Mr.
Darling would probably prefer tun-
nei, although it would mean a larger
outlay Of cash.

one stormy day in winter, after twelve
hours exposure on the beach, exhaust

these had made no previous ex-

Keeper Atkins and his crew had to
take from the community what in the
staid, old-fashioned speech of the Cape,
is known as the ''goading slur'' The
keeper made no attempt to answer his
critics; but gradually, as that season
and the following summer wore away.

stamped on his face, and his bearing
took on dignity almost tragic When,
at the opening OF the next season, his
wife, as he left his home for the sta
ton, begged him not to expose him
self to needless danger, he replied:
Before this season is over l will
have wiped out the goading slur'"
Reaching the station. he called his
crew about him, and informed them
that, no matter at what peril, rescue
would be attempted at every wreck
within the limits Of the station.
