Sand Dimes In GascOnN.

One of the most interesting and re
markable of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony
The sea, here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles III
length, some 100000 cubic yards of
sand.
The prevailing westerly winds con-
tinue picking up the surface particles
from the westward slope, whirl them
oyer to the inward slope, where. they
are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course Of years
there has thus been formed a complex
system of dunes, all approximately par
aIlel with the coast and with one an
other and of all attitudes up to $50 feet
These are marching steadily inward
at a rate of from three to six feet a
year, whole villages having sometimes
been torn down to prevent burial and
rebuilt at q distance.

WILSON Brothers
PHAR MACY.


She was a nice little cousin from the
country, and she had come to city
luncheon given by some swell friends,
says Il New York paper. She was hay
ing q beautiful time and chatting away
merrily when the salad course came
on and the butler passed small
cream cheese. 1t was on Il dolly placed
on a fiat plate, and a silver knife lay
by it.
The country cousin was busy talking,
and without an instant's hesitation she
took the plate, cheese and all, and set
it down by her own salad plate. The
butler gave q decOrOusly repressed
start Of horror, the other guests began
to talk very fast and the little cousin,
suddenly approaching what she had
done, turned scarlet and sat and gazed
at that cheese III dumb agony and
wished she could die then and there.
But the hostess, who sat by her, said,
gently putting the action to the word:
DO let me cut you a piece of the
cheese"
And then the plate was passed on,
and everybody began to breathe once
more But the cousin didn't speak
again for ten minutes.

Natures Monument to Washington.

Natures Monument to Washington.
Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every us
itor to the Cape Verde islands will re
member as one of the most colossal and
marvellous freaks Of natural sculpture
in existence Along the farther side OF
the harbor of San Vicente, the principal
town. rises a bold ridge of dark gray
volcanic rocks, the crest Of which forms
an exact likeness of our immortal
George, seemingly lying face upward,
as if in q peaceful sleep.
The hero's large. bold features, the
backward wave Of the hair, his mass
i've shoulders and even the frill Of the
shirt front are all reproduced OH Il 81
gantic scale with wonderful eXactness.
The strange monument, sharply out
lined against the deep blue Of the trop-
ical sky, is one of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the is
land It's gigantic proportions, with
the boundless ocean for a background,
form a portrait wonderfully true to ma
ture and overpoWering in it's magnifi-
cence.

Among the most attractive Of the
many kinds of serpents are the delicate
and beautiful tree snakes (dendrophis),
which very rarely descend to the
ground, IS they find food enough among
the biz is and those frogs and lizards
which also dwell in trees. The grace
full fern Of the body, the elegance and
rapidity Of their movements and the
exquisite beauty Of their colors have
excited the lively admiration Of those
who have had the good fortune to
watch them in their native haunts. The
larger kinds attain to length Of over
five feet. They are frequently adorned
with the brightest colors, green being,
however, generally the prevailing tint.
They are active by day.

THROWING AN OLD SHOE.
This Curious Wedding Custom Is OF
French ORIGIN.

The origin Of the curious custom of
throwing an old shoe after newly
married pair for luck has been traced
back to 4 French peasant origin by q
young man interested in folklore and
quaint customs. In southern France,
after the wedding ceremony, the girl IS
escorted to her new home by her girl
friends and left alone. The young huS-
band. also III the hands Of his friends,
is next led to appoint a couple Of hun
dred wards away from the dwelling,
where halt is made. Then the girls
rejected suic0r. II there be such 4 one,
arms himself With an old sabOt, or
wooden shoe, While the bridegroom,
ducking his he. L. makes q dash for the
house. The d.t-runtled sutton throws
as hard and Is true as possible, and
the crowd cheers Or derides, according
to the success of tie SLOT. y wooden
shoe is q formidable missile i'll the
hands Of an angry swain, ana the
bridegroom is justified in having some
misgivings as he sees his defeated rival
! practicing in anticipation Of the we'd
| ding day. Just think says the search
er into folklore, how great relief 1t
would be, even in this country, to take
a crack at the fellow who had done
you out Of your best girl without hav-
ing the police step in. Over in France
| the custom has a wider meaning. 1t
signifies that the last i'll feeling is thus
! thrown away, and it is the depth Of
! disgrace for the man who has thrown
the shoe to harbor any further malice
| against the young couple.

BRAIN.FOOD NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed fo1
brain, another for muscles, and still az
other for bones. A correct diet will rot
only nourish ii particular part of the
body, bat it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestlon or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions A few
doses aids digesti q, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the blood, and
makes you feel bnoyant and vigorous
You can get this reliable remedy at all
druggists. Price Is and 75c.

CHURNING IN HARPUT DISTRICT.

At this point yaOOrt Il day or two old is
added in the proportion of one table
spoonful to a quart of the milk. 1t is
thoroughly stirred in. The temperature
is maintained at 80 degrees for three or
four hours. The fermented mass is then
placed in a cool place and allowed to
stand for twentyfOur hours. When old
yaoort is not readily procured to start
the Tactic acid fermentation the juice
Of the wild sumac berries is employed.
The thickened mass thus obtained,
the yaoort, is largely used throughout
the orient as Il food. It has the con-
sistency Of a custard without whey, or
of ''junket," and a.slight acid taste 1t
is highly nutritious, easily digested and
very refreshing in warm weather. 1t is
used in the preparation of various
Turkish dishes, both meats and vege-
tables. AS a rule, foreigners settling
in Turkey become very fond of this
preparation.
When used as the basis of butter
making the yaoort usually prepared
from sleeps milk, is introduced into
either Il goatskin or an earthen jar sus-
pended by cords. Sufficient hot water
is added to raise the temperature to
about so degrees T. The opening is
tightly closed and the ''churn'' is kept
in agitation with jerky movement for
about forty minutes before the butter
forms. The accompanying photographs
portray this important feature in the
domestic life Of this region. The butter
thus prepared is white and curly in ap-
pearance. The best quality retails at
2115 cents per pound

BUTTER MAKING IN TURKEY
Crude Methods NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Not Like American Butter.


Not Like American Butter.
The bureau of foreign commerce OF
the state department has issued spe~

consuls on the subject of butter making,
in foreign countries. Thomas Il. Nor
ton, consul at Mezreh, Turkey, fur
nishcs the following description Of the
methods employed in the Earput dis
trict Of Turkey, III Asia.
Butter is made here exclusively from
the thickened milk known as ''yaOOrt. .
No attempt is made here to collect
cream ard use it for butter making. In
fact, Oh account Of the failure to pro-
vide abundant succulent pasturage for
cattle, but little cream separates from
the milk ordinarily obtained in this
country. y brief account Of the method
employed may be Of interest to Ameri-
can dairymen and possibly suggestive.
Fresh milk is heated in kettles to the
boiling point and then allowed to cool
to temperature of about so degrees +.

Some dairymen argue they cannot af-
ford to pay fancy prices, and therefore
must be content with cheap COWS, says
Dairy and Creamery. The average cow
of the country makes from 125 to $50
pounds of butter per annum, while no
progressive dairyman ought to be sat
isied with less than $50 to 300 pounds
each per annum. Suppose two men, A
and B, engage in dairying. A believes
in starting cheap and buys ten COWS at
$25-$25O. These we will suppose to be
average COWS, producing 125 pounds Of
butter each per annum. At 20 cents a
pound her product amounts to $50. The
cost of keeping would be about $50,
making loss of So. B has a different
idea of dairying and buys five COWS at
$50 each-$25O. They both have the
same amount of capital invested. We
will admit that B will naturally feed
and care for his cows a little better
than A, for having better stock he
would take more interest in them,
could realize some profit for little ex-
ira feed and thus they would get lit
tie better fare than AS. BIS cows
would just as easily produce $50
pounds of butter as AS would 125
pounds; $50 pounds at 20 cents equal
$50 each per annum. With cost of
keeping $50, the net profit would
amount to SIS each. Remember. AS
loss was SIS COW, which makes q diff
ference of $40 in favor of the better
cow. This statement is not an over
drawn one. A few good COWS are worth
a stableful of common ones. It is wise
to select the best individual animals
Obtainable from some of the dairy
breeds. Moreover, while pedigree is a
good thing to consider, individuality is
Of far more Importance. 1t takes an
expert. however, to tell in all cases by
outward appearances as to the real
value of COW.
Watch the Bull.
Always keep an eye on the bull, adj
vises Dairy and Creamery. A bull
should always be regarded as danger
GUS. Under certain conditions and cir
cumstances he is. Like the gun that is
not loaded, the bull that is harmless
usually does injury. The bull that is
known to be cross and dangerous sell
dom does injury, since he is watched
very closely.

A Horned Snake.

A very handsome species of snake is
the rhinoceros viper, which bears, as
it's name suggests, horns on it's nose.
1t is most beautifully colored when
freshly emerging from it's cast skin, but
it's form is by no means elegant, being
very thick in body, with a bulldoglike
head. It may attain length of more
than six feet and is a very deadly ami
mal.-Quarterly Review.
