Reach Sands.

A marty OF chaufeurs were walking
along Cape May beach. One Of them
picked up a handful Of sand and said:
WHY il il that one beach Is firm
enough for motor cars, while another
ls so soft a child can hardly walk on
itY The sand in your hand answers
that question" the second chauffeur
replied "See how fine ii is" The
sand was, indeed, as fine as dust, as
fine as talcum powder THE finer a
sand is the more closely 1t will pack
and. by consequence, the iirmer sur
face # will Offer" went Oh the second
chauffeur. This fine sand here makes
n roadbed many feet in depth-a road
bed you couldn't pack more closely II
YOU rolled ii a hundred years with a
hundred ton roller Study the sand at
Long Branch or Asbury Park. 1t Is
nrett,er than this. IL Is made OF sep
arate grains that you can readily dis
tingulsh. Each Is perfect cube, white
ar black or red-a beautiful clear col
ored shape that IL Is pleasure to look
AT Each Is about fifty times bigger
than the Cape May grains; hence the
sand of Asbury Park or Long Branch
won't pack down. won't make Il firm
roadbed. There is only one place In
the country where the sand Is finer
than at Cape May. and that place Is

The Modesty of HokusaI.

Young artists. not gaining distinction

Dora Amsden's book on Japanese ART
II Is set forth that this Is what the
celebrated Japanese artist Hokusal
wrote about himself: From the age OF
six | had a mania for drawing the
forms Of things. BY the time | was
nfty had published an inhnity OF de
signs, but all | have produced before
the age OF seventy is not worth taking
into account. Al seyenty-iiye learned
a little about the real structure OF ma

auence. when | am eighty shall have
made still more progress. At ninety

At a hundred shall certainly have

cane from serious injury shortly after !
O'Clock last Saturday night while in West

head. Fortunately the missile struck
Mr. Roberts on the back of the neck,
aud his overcoat collar broke its force to
a considerable extent. Mr.. Lanhsm
turned quickly and raised an alarm, when
the assaiaut fed. 1t was evidently the
intention of the latter to knock Mr.

Grin OuickIy Knocked Out.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and myself
contracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worst kind OF la
grippe with all its miserable symptoms"
says Mr.. J. S. Egleston of Maple Land
ing. Iowa. "Knees and joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells Of
chils and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with a dose of Chamberlain
Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its
liberal use soon completely knocked out
the grip"
1t is good plan to take dose of the
Tablets when you have a cold. They
promote healthy action OF the bowels,
liver and Kidneys which is always bene-
fetal when the system is cOngested by
cold or attack of the grip. For sale BY

Clothes

About 4:SO O'Clock this morning
a man clothed only IN his underwear and
hatless appeared at the station house
and said ne had been victim OF kid
hampers. He told a remarkable story,
alleging that well.known river man
entered his house, killed his babies and
carried him TO houseboat in one d the
CITY docks. The man acted 10 a man
uer which showed that he was in an IT.
responsible condition, and it was subse-
ouently ascertained that he lived IN the
western portion of the city, where ne is
well known. Officer Roberts fixed him
I'D as comfortable as possible and con-
Quoted him home. Upon arriving there
the officer ascertained that the man was
suffering from pneumonia, and in his de-
lirium had jumped from second story
window and made his way to the station
house in the biting cold in the condition
he had left his bed. Officer Roberts saw
him safely in the house and did all be
could for his comfort under the circum'

PioWinu by Dynamite.

At Pendleton, Ore, and on several
farms in the eastern part of the state
of Washington, dynamite is used to
break up the hard pan" stratum just
underneath the surface. Good soil
and moisture are under the hard
pam"
In the sagebrush and alkali regions
this stratum Of 'hardpan" will not
let the moisture come to the surface,
nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots
reach the moisture. So the surface is
dry alkali, the mother of sagebrush
and nothing else.
The dynamiters believe that by
smashing this barren and rebellious
stratum they can make the moisture
come up and the roots go down.
Crops have been planted over a con-
siderable tract of dynamited ground.
In the fall we shall know how good a
farmer dynamite is.-Everybody's.
