curely anchored a short distance from
the shore, the upper end connecting
with a beam which works the piston
in the compression cylinder. As the
height of the waves differs in the ris-
ing tide the plate against which the
waves strike is supported on floats
and slides up and down the frame as
the water level changes. AS each
wave strikes the floating plate the
beam Is driven toward the shore, rails

being lifted by the action and forcing
air through the pipe into the storage

throws the frame back again, ready

pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in

constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

There is growing interest in live stock in
the South, especially as regards beef, dairy
cattle, horses, mutton, sheep and hogs. The
Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont sections OF
Virginia, the mountains of East Tennessee,
Western North Carolina, the upland regions
of South Carolina, SECTIONS of Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi and the famous blue
grass regions Of Kentucky furnish large areas
Of fine grass lands with an abundance OF pure
clear water. Over this section the climate is
such that stock buildings need not be expen-
sive. Rough lumber is comparatively cheap
and within easy reach Of every farmer. No
section of country can furnish cheaper graz
ing or feeding than the South. Besides
great variety Of pasture grasses and green
forage plants there are cotton seed and its
products, one Of the cheapest stock foods
known. During the past season several very
fine punches of cattle have been shipped over
the Southern Railway to Chicago and to
Europe, besides supplying in part very brisk
home market. Lists Of these lands can be OBJ
tained free by addressing NJ. A. Hays, Agent

master of well-known public school
points out that he was the first Eng
lish prince to 60 through the ordinary
routine of a public school like any
pther boy. When he was sent to Wei
lington College it was expressly stipu-
lated that he was to be treated in all
ways just as the other boys were, and
the experiment was eminently success
ful. Possibly no prince before him in
any civilized country enjoyed such
freedom, and he made good use Of it.

is easy to see that while diff

selves from time to time, the fashions
of to-day combine the beauties of the
various stages of the past, omitting
the eccentricities. The graceful, cling

Sleeves, too, were larger, of necessity.
Early in the '30'S was an interesting

simplicity of the present-day attire and
dispensing with his elegant knee

struggle between the practical and the
ornate that had lasted since the close
of the eighteenth century.
By 1912 all gowns were trailing
again. This was the time of the lace
mitten and Of the odd little parasols
with long fringes and double handles.
By 1860 the tide had turned, the skirts
were wide and the shoulders narrow.
