TO SAVE SABLE ISLAND.
Graveyard of the Sea- to Have Trees
Grown on Its Shores.

Grown on Its Shores.
The government of Canada Is taking
steps to prevent the washing away of
what is Familiarity known as the
graveyard of the Atlantic" During
his visit to the Paris exposition Major
Gourdeau. deputy minister of marine
and fisheries, made an examination of
& number of sandy formations off the
coast OF France, which the French
government has succeeded in preserv-
ing by the simple process of p.anting
them with a particular tree, possessing
binding qualities in its roots. The
Canadian government decided to i'm
port some of these trees as an expert
ment on Sable island and a quantity
has arrived and now awaits shipment
to the island, where trees will be
planted around its now threatened
shores. The urgent need of this action
car be gathered from the fact that the
island was once forty miles in length.
while today II Is barely half that
length and only two miles in width.
The encroachments Of the sea have
gradually shifted the sand until now
over half OF the island is completely
submerged. 1t Is anticipated that II
the island Is covered with trees 1t will
stand o more clearly ana sharply
defined to the officers of the ships in
the vicinity than at present and thus
prove a boon to mariners, who dread
this treacherous spot. No%twithstand-
ing its remoteness and inhospitable
characteristics. Sable island possesses
many points of interest which make It
worthy of a visit. Its race of ponies,
which are annually penned and ship
ped to Halifax for sale, Is famous. 1t
also contains a small colony of people,
who. at least have no ground for long
ing for a lodge in some vast wilder
ness" IL is recorded that some years
ago a ship. in whose timbers a colony
of rats had its abode. went down off
the island. and the rats succeeded in
getting ashore. Before long they had
multiplied to such an extent as to have
become a our Of danger to the set
tiers, but It was not until they had
well-nigh destroyed all the food sup
plies on,the island and had brought the
settlers face to face with starvation
that the latter %bethought themselves
and imported some Nova Scotian cats,
which kept the pest in check until a
passing ship left a pair of foxes on the
island. That was the beginning of the
end Of both rats and cats. The foxes
soon overran the island. They killed
not only the rats. but the cats as.
well, and how best to deal with the
foxes is now under consideration of tae
government.-Chicago Journal.

wyOMING.s BorToMLEss LAKES.

The Big Horn basin in Wyoming Is
famed in Indian legend as the place
where spirits from the happy hunting
grounds come to m with the
living. One story told is that in years
to come the ~palefaces would lay claim
Co the sacred place and that they would
dig pure gold by the shovel full from
its depths. Lakes Aria and Irma are
very deep, and II there is any gold In
them 1t is yet to be discovered. as the
bottoms have not yet been fathomed.
These lakes are named after the
daughters Of Col. w. +. Cody, who
took so much stock in the Indian
legend that he purchased the entire
III, 900 acres comprising the basin.
The colonel says that If gold is never
found 1t Will make no difference to
him as the land is worth millions for
agricultural purposes. The water Of
the lakes is said to have curative prop

AGAINST THE TRAILING SKIRT.

Emphatic disapproval of the trailing
skirt has been heard in recent years
from various quarters, but only within
the past few months has any organiza-
ton and definite action been taken TO
discourage or suppress this unhealth-
full and offensive fashion.
An anti-trailing league has been
formed in London. numbering among
its members several high-born m
and leaders of fashion in the English
metropolis. One of its members. Prin-
cess Reuss, has promised through the
press to do all that she can TO form
such a league in Germany. her native
country.

BREATHING THROUGH rnE MOUTH

Few people realize what an impor-
tant organ the nose is. II is the first
Of the organs of respiration. and UNI
less It's functions are well performed
the whole breathing process is de-
ranged. The nostrils are not open cav
tiles with smooth walls through which
the air passes in and out. al it would
through q rubber tube. They are di-
vided into several compartments by
bony projections covered with mucous
membrane. and the volume OF air in
entering is broken up into several
streams. so that all of It comes In con
tact with the lining membrane.
This warm and moist membrane
catches the dust and other impurities,
and warns the air so that IL will do
no harm when coming in contact with
the more delicate membrane in the
bronchial tubes and lungs.
When the nose is stopped up from
any cause one must breathe through
the mouth. and II this is continued
for any length of time the general
health will inevitably suffer.
The mouth itself suffers first. The
mucous membrane loses its moisture
and becomes infamed. The air is
neither warmed nor purified. and it ir-
ritates the lining membrane of the air
passages all the way down to the lungs,
so hat a condition OF sluggish infiam-
nation is excited.
But the general effects are more seri-
nna than tho InaaI nnn Uhn lie n
mouth-breather never gets enough air.
During the day he suffers less in this
respect. for the nerve-centers are more
active and force the respiratory mus
Giles to act more energetically; but at
night this vigilance Is relaxed, the
amount OF inspired air is greatly re-
duceG, and all the tissues suffer for
want of oxygen. For this reason the
mouth-breather always feels tired and
out OF sorts in the morning.
The mind suffers as well as the body,
and Notwithstanding children are all
most always backward in their stud
les.
The question of the cause OF mouth
breathing, or rather OF nasal obstruc-
ton. on which the Notwithstanding
depends. must be reserved for another
article. AS a rule, 1t is easily found
on examination by the physician. and.
can be removed without difficulty.
What we would insist upon here is
the absolute necessity OF its early re-
moval.
A child who always breathes with
open mouth, and whose voice has a
nasal twang, should be examined and
treated at the earliest possible moment,
for the longer the trouble exists the
worse II Is for the child mentally, NOR
ally and physically.

The other day at the hairdresser's.
Iys a Philadelphia writer, | could not

rlapped on the dishguring collar and

that was out OF fashion. She would
rather swathe her neck to the tips OF
her ears until IT looks as II it had met
with an accident and been done up
IN liniment by a surgeon, and over
which her chin protrudes like a pro-
iecting ledge, than look pretty and n
fashionable. She shuts of her circu-
lation, gives herself a red nose, wears
ugly marks In her neck, and believes
she Is looking charming because she
Is in the style. 1t is woman's ambi-
tion, they say, to be beautiful. But
Dne would o think so by the way
they dress. Indeed, 1t is beauty of a
rare order that will rise superior to
