The Western wav Of MovIno Sand.

It is a great remove from the eastern
way of carting sand to the method which
is being employed by the American sand
and supply company at Kansas City, in
performing its contract with the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway company.
This is to force 200, 900 cubic yards of sand
through a 12-inch pipe a distance Of one
mile, and to distribute 1t over space 200
feet wide and 1900 feet long, to fill a de-
preston in the land recently bought by
the railroad for its terminal yards in
Rosedale. The sand is taken from the
Kaw river, and the pipe line runs through
a tunnel 500 feet long, and goes up a grade
which brings the Rosedale terminus SO feet
above the river. In a boat on the river
500 feet from the bank, is 300-horse-
power engine, and in the pumping station
on the shore Is another engine of the com
pound centrifugal type, of 500 horse power.
The pipe from the boat to the shore is
laid on a pontoon bridge, and this pipe
is fastened to the pipe on the shore by
rubber joints, which form a pivot. Upon
this pivot the boat and the 500 feet Of pipe
line laid on the pontoon can be swung
around in a semicircle. The two engines
force the sand and the water in which II
is carried through the pipe with pressure
of rs pounds to the square inch. The sand
alone which can be pumped through in a
day is estimated at 5000 cubic yards. Only
four minutes are required for the passage
Of a quantity of sand and water through
the entire line. There seems no doubt
that the work will be quickly and efficient
ly accomplished by this method, and the
railroad company may later award con-
tract to the sand company for covering
nearly so acres more OF land which is low
and would require $780, 900 cubic yards OF
sand. The company recently executed a
contract in Des Moines, Ia, where the
sand was pumped to a height of 40 feet.

WEST CHESTERFIELD. N. n.

This community was much saddened

ing about 4.30 at the Brattleboro Mem
orial hospital, where she had been the
past four weeks for treatment for a COM
plication of diseases She had been a
great sufferer at times for years. Much
sympathy is expressed for Mr.. Stowell
The funeral was held at the church here

pastor of the church of which she was
a devoted member, officiated. The burial

etery, and the Grange, of which she was

A Meritorlous Latin-AmerIcan Drink.

Shall we all be drinking yerba mate
pronounce this last word mah-tay,
please) a few years from now? Some
enthusiasts wouldn't be greatly surprised
il that state of things came to pass.
Paraguayan yerba is the best, but the
yerba of Argentina and Brazil is not to
be despised. Yerba was known to our
English ancestors as Jesuit's tea. 1t costs
in South America about half as much as
coffee and one-fifth as much as tea. THE
foreign workmen soon become habituate
to the use of Yerba mate and ever ask
for it in place Of coffee" writes Consul
Ayers from Rosario. 1T certainly does
prevent hunger; the Paraguayan retires
to sleep after having eaten his heaviest
meal, and in the morning he takes no
breakfast, as We understand it, nothing
but yerba mate, and on that alone works
till nearly midday doing his hardest work
of the day" writes DR.. Eben NJ. Flagg.
1T is said that more than 10000, 900 peo-
pie in South America drink (yerba) mate
daily" writes Consul Johnson from San
tos, and find it much better than tea or
coffee, having none of the deleterious
effects of these drinks even when taken
to excess, but, on the contrary, promot-
ing digestion, soothing the nerves, and
giving immediate activity to the brain.
According to high authority, It is the
only beverage which leaves absolutely
no bad after effects upon those who drink
it in either large or small quantities. As
a safeguard against insomnia it is highly
spoken of, and in those countries where
it is a constant beverage such affections
as govt and indigestion are unknown. 1t
is especially beneficial to those of seden-
tary habits and to brain workers who
find the use OF coffee or tea harmful to
the nervous system"
1t certainly speaks we'll for yerba mate
that it's holding its own as a popular
beverage in a country like Paraguay
where rum of great potency costs only
6 cents quart. DR.. Flagg says he's
often wished our government would give
it a fair trial in the army and navy

A Distinction with a Difference.

Perhaps the controversy over that Sec
ton declaring the possession of a United
States internal revenue certificate to be
prima facie evidence of violating the YER
mont liquor law may be better under
stood by some of our friends If they will
bear in mind that the United States gov
eminent does not by the issue of these
certificates license" the holder to sell
liquor. The national government has
nothing whatever to do with the matter
of licenses to retail traders in any state.
But the national government does ordain
that If a person engages in the retail
liquor business or sells liquor incidentally
to any business, he shall pay an internal
revenue tax. In other words, the certih-
cate represents a tax upon a business
already engaged in and not permission to
engage in it.
