When the State se- ceded against my judgment, thought my ultimate allegiance was due to her, and I prefererd to cast my fortunes and destiny with her and her people rather than take any other course, even though 1t may lead to my self sacrifice and her ruin.

WORK IN HARBoR BUILDING
Construction of Big Deep Ocean
 Breakwater at San Pedro, Cal.

Construction of a Big Deep Ocean
 Breakwater at San Pedro, Cal.
 San Pedro, Cal, Is about 100 miles north of the Mexican boundary and a few miles south of Los Angeles. When California had to have a new harbor somewhere a board of government en- gineers, in 1897, decided that San Pedro had the best natural advantages for constructing one. The result of their work shows that harbor can be built almost anywhere if enough mon- ey Is expended. Congress appropriated S2,900,000 for the San Pedro break water, extending $500 feet in length In the ocean, and for dredging behind It.
 The breakwater is a sort of continu- aton of Point Fermin, to the east ward. It was planned to comprise two straight arms, connected by curve, 1900 feet long, of 1910 feet radius, the westerly arm to be 5000 feet long and the easteriy arm 3,10O feet long. A gap of 2,0OO feet was left between 1t and the shore, but this gap was crossed by a railway of tremendous strength, to enable the contractors to dump rocks for the breakwater.
 The total amount of rock required, according to the government specifca- tons, is 2,2O6, ,eS3 tons, of which 1t is estimated 770,O0O are yet to be put in place. For some time the contractors have been dropping the rock at the rate of 45,0O0 tons a month, or four tons a minute, at cost of S0S44 a ton. At the beginning the dumping took place in twenty-feet of water; to-day the contractors are making bigger splashes in ffty-two feet of water. The rocks are often so large that only two of them can be put on one car. There Is a year and a half of dumping ahead, but already a harbor of refuge Is formed, where vessels can lie In safe ty in all sorts of weather, behind a rock line above high water.

Choose Your Own Colors.

Black, 1t seems, can only be worn by women whose hair or eyes are that tint. It deadens all but those skins that are ivory tinted and without color. Browns are the best wear for red and auburn haired women; they show up the warm tints in the hair and eyes, and Tighten the skin. As for drabs, lawns and grays, they are useless, or worse than useless. in arrestiveness they possess no fascination and add no charm.
 Blues are introspective and quiet ing" They are better for dark than for fair women. Green is the Venus color. Only those who are very sure of themselves should wear it, as it in- yites dangerous passions. To many it Is a desperately unlucky color, and spells disaster" All mauves, yiolets and heliotropes predispose to introspec- ton of melancholy. "Diffident people ought to wear them, as they have a certain egotistical value" Red gives "sun of color," is luckiest of all and suits everybody"
 And, after all, perusing all this stuff, and more like 1t, ones sense of beauty Is ravished by a pale little girl in a soft, tender gray, or a pink-cheeked and brown-haired widow in her weeds, and they proceed to knock all these elaborate and artificial color schemes into a cooked hat.

ATHLETES realize the importance of - keeping in good bodily trim.
 The digestion must be good, the cir culation perfect, sleep regular and enough of it.
 If the slightest catarrhal condition of lungs or stomach is allowed to re- main, neither digestion nor sleep will be strength-sustaining.
 Those who lead very active lives, ike athletes, with good muscular development, find the spring months especially tryirg.
 Athletes every where praise Peruna because they, of all men, appreciate the value of tonic that dispels phys ical depression.
 The vocation of some men may allow them to endure the depressing feelings ir- oident to spring weather, but the athle'e must never allow himself to get "under t. . weather"
 He must keep in the "pink of condi- ton" all the time.
 In order to do this Ee must avail himself of.a spring tonic upon which he can rely.
 Therefore Athletes are especially friend ly toward Peruna.
 Peruna never fails them.
