older than the Christian era. The
statue Is that OF huge. uncolth wom-

her form enveloped In a loose mantle.

An antiquity OF several hundred years.

may be almost dry in the summer time,

1t Is owing to the fact that an or
binary bridge would invariably sail
away on the food when the river was
high that this camel back has become
the accepted pattern in China, and as
many OF this type have withstood the

well adapted to the needs OF the coun-

A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest Of national losses. It means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost
and other natural agencies have been
ages in forming, is washing away
into the ocean. Tillers of the land
could do much to prevent the logs by
keeping the ground on hiIlsides COW
cred with trees or with sod. It Is
the cultivated field on a slant which
washes away most rapidly. 1t is con-
trary to public policy, or at least to
the welfare Of the future, that the top
