BUILT BY THE WINDS.
Hollands Vigorous Battle Against the
Advancing sea.

Advancing sea.
Approaching the fact that the high
chalk cliffs of England are no protec-
ton against the sea, the Dutch engi-
neers did not attempt to place an arti-
fetal vertical wall against the waves
and the storm tides, but coaSed the
sea to deposit its sands on the shore
and so build it up, rather than throw
them inland and then, hungry for
more, eat into the shore. They be-
lieved it best to satisfy its appetite,
but induced it to toy with the sands,
which its own flood currents and waves
bring from other shores and from the
ot6ng depths. The sand thus depos-
itcd blows, in the gales, over the in
land country. The engineersinduced
it to stop and build n barrier for them
against the sea. One of the heaviest
bikes along the coast was built by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the Jet
ties becomes dry in sunny weather,
the wind is i'll that direction. 1t was
desired to build strong dixie to con-
meet with the sand dunes. This was
accomplished by setting in the sand,
in rows about a. foot apart, tufts of the
dune sea grass near by. The tufts
were placed about q foot apart--sim-
ply little handfulls of grass; the place
for each tuft was dug out with the
hands, the tuft set into it, and the
sand pressed around it. The whole
surface of the dry, sandy beach above
high tide was covered with this plan
tation, aud, just back of it, at the
highest point of the existing sandy
area, one or two rows of reeds were
set into the sand, their tops cut off,
and the stalks left standing about four
feet above the sand. The sand, drift
along over the surface, catches and i'll
one windy day will almost bury the
tufts of grass and stand up foot
along the rows of reeds. Then another
plantation was made, and another, UNI
til a massive dixie was built up to the
height of the adjoining dixie. In high
storm tides the waves will eat into the
toe Of the slope and pull down the
sand but, by the same process of
building, the dixie is again restored to
its former size. Engineering Maya

Life Saving Telephone Lines.

The total length of life.saving tee.
phone lines il, il ~ stated nearly
1000 miles, and there are more than
200 telephone connections at life
saving stations, half way places, light
houses aud other points in connection
with the service covering the Atlantic
coast from Maine to Hntteras Inlet,
n. G.. Linemen's work on the coast
~ not pleasant duty, the trips being
long with dangerous inlets to DO
crossed, and there is but little shelter
on the beaches in stormy weather.
The one man who has charge of the
100 miles of the North Carolina sec
ton has to make most of his trips on
muleback. At come points on the
coast Of Cape Cod the halfway places
are connected by telephone with the
main line.
The designation OF halfway" is
applied to place about midway be-
tween two life.saving stations, where
the patrols meet and exchange checks
during the night watches, The object
in connecting the halfway places is to
enable the patrols To send III an alarm
of wreck or report vessels that may be
in distress in the vicinity of the half
way place without having to run back
through miles of loose sand, and per-
haps in the face Of gale, to notify
their station. Many time when, in
the old days, this had to be done, the
ship aud crew were under the water
before help arrived, that now would
have been saved.
This telephone service is also used
in calling tugs to go to vessels in dis
tress at sen, 20 notify owners and
underwriters of disasters, to watch
disabled vessels, aud in isolated places
to call up physician or substitute
patrols in case Of sickness, etc. Every
section is connected with some tele-
phone office where kilograms can be
sent and received. New York Times.

passed youth is the tendency to wear
larger pair of shoes--and this is
necessary. The feet spread and really
grow. To remedy this wear shoes as
long as can be managed, but not as
wide rs seem necessary. Never wear
old slippers around the house, unless
they are snug in the width, and be
careful of corns. These are never
necessary while the chiropodist exists.
To Have II Fine Color Wash the
face with the juice of preserved straw
berries in the winter, and in summer
rub ripe berry on the face.
For smooth, White Skin, With
out Dieting-Bathe thief daily with
buttermilk. A preparation of tincture
of benzoin and rose water is excellent
for whitening purposes. There are
very good prepared creams, but these
are never cheap. Do not go under n
dollar for them if you want them COM
pounded of fine and pure materials.
To Have Ones Garments Sweet
Scented--Make sachet bags and slip
them in the Innings of dresses. They
will, if good at first, keep their scent
for year or more. Fold the bodices
of the scented gowns and lay them
away in air-tight boxes, This fills
them with scent. philadelphia Times,

The Siamese Kings Country Home.

The country palace Of the king OF
Siam is called Bang-pa-in. About
forty miles north of Bangkok, on the
Meinam, are two islands, separated by
a narrow channel not $50 feet wide.
On the smaller Of these is Buddhist
temple and college, and on the other
is the country residence of the king
of Siam, which consists of three build
ings--the official, the private and the
Chinese palaces. Each is separated
from the other by canals, with which
the island is intersected and which.
in places, are enlarged into small arti-
fetal lakes. Sluice gates are provided
between the canal and river, which
serve to maintain the level of the
water in the former, and also for
flushing; for, although some seventy
two miles from the sea, the tide rises
and falls between three and four feet.
Through these pass the boats contain
ing the ladies Of the household, who,
to escape public notice, are landed q
few feet from their apartments.
The Ko.pra, or landing stage, is q
wooden gangway, hinged at both ends,
and resting on pontoon anchored in
water deep enough to allow large
launches to moor alongside. At the
top Of the bank is band stand, close
against portico Of classical design,
which forms the entrance to the Off
cial palace, and looks down a narrow
strip of walks and lawn, shaded by
mango and tamarind trees. On the
occasion of grand fete, this was the
site of an enormous device that was
used for an electric light illumination.

SOME BEAUTY RULES.
Modern Recipes for Attaining Good Looks
of Various Kinds.

TO Get Thin-Eat n great deal Of
chopped meat without any potatoin it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with
out drinking and do not eat bread, but
ter, or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks
of all kinds, and saline mineral waters
are excellent. Drink glass of cool
water before breakfast.
To Get Fat--Eat vegetables and
sleep after each meal Go to bed at
8 o'clock and lie in bed half an hour
after you wake up. Laugh great
deal. Drink water by the pint or
the quart if you can. Drink weak and
sweet tea with plenty of milk in it,
Take cod liver oil and sweet oils az
much az you can. Eat until you feel
rs if you would burst at the table.
Put plenty of butter on your bread.
This will guarantee gain OF five
pounds month, and, if you can sleep
a great deal, of double that amount.
70 Have a White Skin-Eat no NEST
at all. Become a vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in
six weeks or so eat a meal of fresh
meat. This does away with .he
tendency to scurvy-that curse Of the
vegetarian. Drink as much water as
You can, eat little grease, and touch
no tea or coffee. Your breakfast may
be oatmeal and oranges; your dinner
fruit, nuts, fruit tea - preferably
ounce tea-graham mullins, cauli-
flower croquettes, marmalade, and
dishes of stewed vegetables. The diet
is not so bad when you get used to it.
In large towns you will find one or
two restaurants catering to such as
you.
To Become Very Muscular-.Walk
great deal, carrying so hething always
in the hands. This develops the
arms. To roll hoop might be good
if one were brave enough to do 80 in
public. Practice lifting little every
day. Never strain or tire yourself.
Eat meat, drink milk, and practice
bending backward, forward, and side
ways every day. At night rub about
tablespoon of brandy or rum into
your skin on the under and tender
part of the arms.
To Have Plump Hands-Rub them
with sweet oil night and morning.
Exercise them by rubbing together.
Never wear tight sleeves or snug
gloves.

difficult. The first sign that one has

was halloween OF q mine that prom
ised to become one of the richest in
that country. Then he determined to
go back home and tell the girl of his
heart of his good fortune. He would
be his own messenger in carrying the
glad news, so without word. he put
his things together and started east.
"Of course having no correspond
ence with any one in town, no one was
aware of Towards good fortune, and
when he arrived at his old home he
came unheralded. He took only suffi-
cient time to brush up bit, and then
he started for Mr.. Wardlow's. Ar
rived at the house he knew so well and
the afternoon being warm, he found
nobody about, save the old gardener,
who was looking after the flowers.
Where is your mistress?' Howard
asked.

Howard said impatiently, Where is
your mistress?'

obsequiously, and without more ado
Howard went to seek her. You can
perhaps imagine the meeting. He
came suddenly upon a fair young crea-
tire swinging in her hammock under
the trees and reading. Coming up
quietly behind her he caught her to
his heart, as he covered her face with
kisses.
"Then he held her off at arms
length and said:
"'Maud, my darlingH
"While she answered, Howard
and hid her face on his breast.
Howard had waited sufficiently
long for his wife, and so they were
quietly married the next day, and
left ut once on their wedding tour"
Here the Judge ceased his story,
and sat silent, putting at his cigar, so
long that the other said:
"Well, l don't see anything so very
risky in that"
The Judge smiled and then went
on:
"Wait. 1t was the other one that
Howard had married. Maud had sue
numbered to the charms of foreigner,
had married and gone away with him.
The other one loved Howard had al
ways loved him, and when she saw
that he mistook her for Maud of course
she pitied him. When she found. too,
that he had not the slightest notion Of
the true condition of affairs, she con-
ceived the idea of marrying him her
self, and explaining to him afterward.
After much coaxing, and because she
believed that her daughters happi-
ness depended upon it, Mrs. Wardow
consented to the plot. When they re-
turned from their wedding tour.
