sable island belongs to Nova Sco-
| tia, Is las miles from Halifax and IS
miles east of Capt Canso," writes Gus
tav Kobbe in Ainslee's for February.
1t Is q treeless, shrubless waste, seam
ed by wind and wave and of ever
changing aspect. A coneshaped hill
near the east end, once mere undu-
lation OF sand, Is now over a hundred
feet high, and is still growing. Other
hillocks are gradually being moved
away by storms. The hillocks are H.
able to be undermined so swiftly and
swept out OF existence that they arc
carefully watched from the various
stations on the island, there being no
certainty how far an inroad Of the sea
will extend after each successful at
tack. Even the coarse grass Of the
island grows in a different manner
from that OF the mainland. 1t does
not bear seed, but shoots up from roots
which run along the sand. During the
winter the sand Is blown over the grass
and buries 1t sometimes three or four
feet deep. But the hardy blades grow
up next season, as II the island sands
had protected them from the cold In
winter in order to make them all the
stronger. The island itself is fighting
for self-preservation. 1t seems as If 1t
drew ships into its fatal embrace as
rallying points for It's loose and shift
ing sand thus to protect itself by a
bulwark Of wrecks against Annihila-
ton by the sea. Tradition says that
when Sable island was discovered by
Cabot, in 1447. 1t was eighty miles long
and ten miles wide. In 1902, when
rescue station was established there, 1t
was only forty miles long. Since then
1t has shrunk to but little more than
twenty miles in length, and in width
It Is only mile at It's widest. Within
twenty-eight years the western end
lost seven miles. Shoals over which
the ocean now surges are pointed out
as former sites Of lighthouses. One OF
these was so swiftly undermined by
the sea that 1t had to be abandoned |
with the greatest precipitation. Tho

dents house Is now under two faith

Charcoal in Paper Bags.

The good housewife who, forty OF
fifty years ago, looked ont in the
street now and then so as to be sure
and not miss the charcoal man when
he came along, and who bought char
coal by the bushel or the barrel, to be
carried in from the wagon and emp
tied in the cellar, would have been
surprised to see, as she might nova
days, charcoal sold in paper bags. The
charcoal thus sold is residue of tho
manufacture of wood alcohol, pro-
duced by the charring of hardwoods,
beech and maple, in kilns. 1t comes
from northern Pennsylvania and
southern New York. It is shipped
in bulk, in carloads, from the region
OF production to the places of distri-
button and there put into bags for
sale.
This modern way of selling charcoal
was introduced into Buffalo about
eight years ago. Buffalo now buys
10000 to Is, 900 bags daily. Charcoal
in paper bags has since been intro
duced in various other cities as far
east as Boston. 1t has been sold in
New York for about two years.
The paper bags are stout sacks of
the same general proportions as an
eighth-barrel flour sack, but little
larger and holding half a bushel of
charcoal. The filed bags are tied
around the neck. Charcoal in paper
bags is sold in stores, like any other
commodity.-New York Sun.

BLEW OFF AND SETTLED THERE,

How Tipsy Passenger Happened to IAos
cate In n Good Farming Region.
'The wind blew passenger off my
train when l was railroading in the
Western country" said a conductor
now on an Illinois run.
"But I didn't know it until three
years after the occurrence" he con.
tinucd. "He was ticketed for South
ern California, and several times dur.
ing the day he asked me questions.
Soon after his last question 1 missed
him from his seat. Later in the day
be was still missing, but his overcoat
was on the back of the seat.
81 asked other passengers if they
had seen him leave the car. No one
remembered it. 1 searched the train,
but failed to find him. 1 then took
his coat, and turned it in, making a
report on the case. The company held
it for some time, and when no inquiry
was made the company advertised the
coat in the hope that the mystery might
be solved. There was no response.
This only spurred the company TO re-
new its search, and I know that sew
eral hundred dollars were spent in an
effort to find the owner of the coat.
You see, railroad companies have souls,
in spite of an opinion held by some to
the contrary.
"And now here is one for the country
editor. Such a one heard of the in
cident and printed it in his paper.
Curiously enough, one of his subscrib.
ers, who read the story, was the man
who lost the coat, and he presented
at the company's Office, proved
his property, and got it.
ellis story was that he imbibed
pretty freely, and stepped ont on the
platform to get fresh air. The wind
was blowing a gale, and before no
could get a purchase it swept him from
the car. AS he was drunk the fall did
not hurt him. do not say this, how
aver, as favoring too free indulgence in
liquor.
"When he sobered up he felt
ashamed, and stopped in farmhouse
nearby, where he found a bargain in
arm land, and purchased. He can
'elled his far Western trip and settled
m his newly acquired purchase. This
vas his story. have told mine. y

The substitution Of "ground Values
for ground rents" in reference to tax
alton is important, because if ground
rents only are taxed, q wealthy land
lord in Great Britain could hold out of
use very valuable suburban lands, pay
ing almost nothing as a land tax; and
as long as he derives little or no direct
income therefrom, he can hold them
indefinitely for a rise. In this manner
the growth and prosperity of towns
and cities in Great Britain have been
seriously retarded, as the only way to
get at wealthy landlord is by taxing
his income. He can, therefore, hold
say a million dollars worth of land
and pay nothing as long as he keeps
it idle. But even. a tory, ministry, it
appears, now wants to tax according
to values; and when once that is en-
acted it will so onward to the single
tax.-San Francisco Star.

The Fall of the Roman ReDublic.


Froud' the English historian, thus
describes the conditions as they existed
in Rome just previous to the fall of the
Republic and the institution of the En-
plre. Although it was some years be-
fore the birth of Christ that the Caes-
ars supplanted the COnsuls, it will be
noted that even at that time the Ro-
mans had already become ''civilized."
1t was an age of material progress
and material civilization: and age of
civil liberty and intellectual culture;
an age of pamphlets and epigrams. of
salons and of dinner parties, of sena-
torlal majorities and electoral corrup-
ton.
The highest offices of state were omen
IN theory to the meanest citizen: thew
were confined, in fact, to those who had
the longest purses, or the most ready
use OF the tongue on popular platforms,
Distinctions of birth had been ex-
changed for distinctions of wealth,
The struggle between plebians and
patricians for equality of privilege was
over, new division had been formed
between the party of property and a
party who desired change in the
structure of society. The free cultiva-
tors were disappearing from the soil.
Patriotism survived on the lips, but
patriotism meant the ascendancy of the.
party which would maintain the exist
ing order of things, or would overthrow
1t for a more equal distribution of the
good things which alone were valued.
Religion, once the foundation of the
laws and rule of personal conduct, had
subsidized into opinion. The educated
IN their hearts disbelieved IT. Temples,
were still built with increasing splen-
or; the established forms were scru-
pulously observed. Public men spoke
|conventionally of Providence, that thew
might throw on their opponents the Cd
lum OF impiety; but of genuine belief
that life had any serious meaning, there
was none remaining beyond the circle
OF the silent, patient, ignorant multi
tude.
The whole spiritual atmosphere was
saturated with cant-cant moral. cant
political, cant religious; an affectation
OF nigh principle which had ceased to
touch the conduct, and flowed on in an
increasing volume Of insincers and nm
real speech.
10 make money-money by any
means lawful or unlawful became
