ANCHORlNG A SAND DUNE.
Worthless Lands Along the Sea Coas
Being Reclaimed.

Worthless Lands Along the Sea Coast
Being Reclaimed.
! so much attention has been directed
to the work that is being done in re-
claiming the arid and semi-arid lands
OF the West that the reclamation work
along the Atlantic coast is almost en-
tirely overlooked, says the Philadelphia
Record. The familiar sand dunes,
characteristic of the coast from Cape
Cod to Cape Fear. while perhaps ar
tiStic, constitute Il menace to adjacent
cultivated lands and are useless in
themselves.
Massachusetts. at considerable ex-
pense, has been endeavOring to re-
| claim the sand dunes that form 50
large portion Of the province lands"
on Cape Cod. 1t has been found that
sand is readily bound together by grass
roots. and that if sturdy varieties of
grass suitable for sandy soils are plant
ed and cared for while obtaining a
foOthold and maturing, they will grad
| ually cover large areas. transforming
them from shifting. worthless lands in
| to fertile fields. Many years Of for
estry work in Europe has shown that
after the grasses have made a start
trees can be successfully raised on
these erstwhile sand piles. which may
thus be made to yield a revenue.
Some of the most extensive and
mobile sand dunes in the United
n hDu md in A
West, and ii is the ambition of the Blu
reau of Forestry to cover these with
permanent forest growths. Along the
Columbia river. in Washington. the
sand is very light in character. owing
to the large proportion of mica it con
tains, and consequently is easily blown
about by the winds. In a portion Of
the lower Columbia river valley great
orchards have been actually ingulfed
with the shifting sands. and the rail-
roads have experienced great diff
Guilty in maintaining their tracks in
this district in passable condition. In
order to make practical test as to
the best method Of treating these
dunes, a strip of land on the Columbia
river between Willow creek and the
John Day river has been set aside by
the government for extensive expert
ments based on the work done by Mas
sachusetts, referred to above. In the
East tree-planting plans for owners Of
sandy tracts are being prepared, thus
extending the scope of the practical co
onaro tion heU,ln Inv tho Rllrpau of For

A new form of hide and seek,
which is hidden in sight" is very
pretty game. All must 20 out of the
room except one. who then places the
things to be found. such as thimble
or cotton reel. so that any one can
see it, but will not notice it without
looking rather hard A thmble is not
easily seen on bright iron fender,
and a reel of cotton takes Il good deal
of finding when properly placed on
some mantel-piece ornament. or even
Oh the top of Il picture frame.
Here is another secret: Tell the
seekers that they must find a hand
kerchief. Tie it round the handle Of
the door Gf ii is a white onel: show
the seekers politely ill., and shut the
door after them. so that they do not
touch the handle. They will take a
long time to find the handkerchief. 1t
is a strict rule of the game that the
first finder of an object does not make
known his discovery. He just sits
down. one =. one the seekers sit
down, until only one remains stand
ing, and then it is time for some one
to tell him and for the party to get to
another game.

4 Good Deed.

What is the name of it," asked his
sister Sue.
If only you will he quiet said
grandma 81 will tell you all about it.
1t is not Il fairy tale she continued,
a Good Deed she said. turning to
Sue.
We'll" said grandma. when silence
was restored. II will begin again Once
upon Il time a very long time ago,
Il little brother and sister lived in IL
little fishing village with their mother,
I Mrs Brown. They were very poor.
for Mrs. Browns husband had been
drowned nj sea. and his ship had
never come home. so little Fred and
Mary-thc names of tile brother and
siSter-often had to go without their
dinner
"One day a bright thought occurred
TO Fred. Why should they not 20 out
on the cliffs and search for birds eggs
and sell them 10 visitors. and even
to some of the school childrcn: Mary
hailed the idea with fervor. 50 next
day SAW the two children searching
carefully for seagullS' eggs in the clcfts
and lodges of the cliffs.
They were very successful for n
day or two. when Il little boy friend
of Frcd'S said
Fired. if YOU can find me Il cormo-
rants egg | will give you whole
shilling. for cormorants' eggs are 50
scarce.
Fred FASTENED home that day and
told his sister Mary all that the boy
had said Mary was also overjoycd
and both agreed to look next day for
one Next day they searched the cliffs
for a cormorant's egg. but did not get
one. Every day for Il whole week they
searched high and low but cormOrants'
eggs. as Frcd's friend had said, were
very scarce.
lone day Mary happened to notice
one. but. to her great disappointment,
there was only one. but still, one was
better than none at all. so Mary
screamed TO her brother.
look. look Fred. n corlnorant's
egg, a corlnorant'S egg"
Fred looked round and noticed the
egg. and with a cry of joy he. sprang
to get il. but what was his annoyance
when Mary Suddenly held him back
"Dont. Fred she gaspcd, don't
for it is the mothers only one. Look
how wistfully she is looking at me

In truth the mother was very mis-

and then on the other. glancing, as
Mary had said, from the egg to Mary,
