QUAINT LAND AND PEOPLE.
Striking Features Of the Island Of
Jersey and It's Racial
Mixture.

The island of Jersey is one Of the
oldest corners of King Edwards
realm. Anchored within sight Of
France, originally peopled by sturdy
Normans, the Jersey folk of to-day
present strange racial mixture, form
ing little world where French shrugs
are to be seen ON English shoulders,
writes Frank Weigh, in Four-Track
News.
Within Jerseys limited area of but
ten miles one way and six in another
may be found the most varied costal
scenery, the richest foliage and rarest
flowers, the narrowest of picturesque
streets or lanes, the oldest of farm
houses, the quaintest of fisher and
farm folk, the strangest of fish in
the st. Heller market, and the largest
cabbage in the United King
dom.
Scores of bays, no two alike, indent
the coast-some with pebbly beaches:
others with white or red sand floors;
some bounded by towering cliffs bear
ing ancient castles on their SUBMITS;
some shelving gently from the uplands.
White lighthouses warn the sailor of
the ever r-present danger from the
sunken rocks lying in wait for their
prey Fair to look upon in a calm
sea, the coast of Jersey is yet one Of
great peril to the mariner.

DEEP WOODS.

Oh, for the deep wood S voiceat
The velvet-throated throng
That every sense rejoices
With consecrated song!
A strain Of bird-notes glorious
Leaving the soul victorious;
Silence with song succeeding,
Enhancing, turing, leading
into the deep damp hollows
Where the eager foot that follows
Sinks, hidden as 1t crosses,
In the yielding, springing MOSES.
And the triple tears of the white-throat fall
Like a benediction over all.
Oh, for the brook. its story
Is written in lines of glory
Where CLINT of sunshine gides between
The boughs that over the water lean.
The siren brook! above it
The silver birches gleam
The veeries know and love it.
Lured to the laughing stream.
My thrush on tiptoe stealing
Away from the hidden nest.
The dim light half concealing
The pool it loves the best;
The crystal drops from its tawny wings
II shakes in rainbow, and hark!-it sings.
Oh. for the rocks. close clingirg
Are lichen and green moss.
While fern and vine upSpringing
Have trailed themselves across,
The fragrance still intenser
Where fir trees swing the censer.
O shetering rocks. the cover
OF the great gray rock above her.
The phoebe builds: the sweetness
She knows the safe completeness
Where the little brook entangled
Sinks out of sight, moss-strangled;
No path leads in where the wood-thrush
sings,
Where the soul of the forest has taken
wings

WIND PRESSURE OF BRIDGE
Surface Resistance an Important Fac
tor in the Safety Of Con-
struction.

referring . our recent discussion
OF the question of the proper amount
OF wind pressure to provide for in
bridges. correspondent draws our
attention to the fact that no mention
was made of the extra surface which
is presented to the wind when a train
moves onto brio re- He asks, says
the Scientific American, whether this
surface should not always be taken
into account. and its effect provided
for in calcuiatings..e v md scresses on
any given span. Our correspondent
is entirely right in supposing that al
lowance should be made for train sur
face, and indeed this is always DONE
1t was not our intention, in the article
referred to, to cover the whole question
of wind pressure, but merely to draw
attention to the fact that the unit pres
sure adopted has been unnecessarily
large, and to give the process of rea-
soning by which our engineers have ar
rived at the lower figure which is now
likely to be generally adopted. 1t is
probable that in the early days of bridge
designing no account was taken of the
great increase in the area of bridge
which takes place when train, or
even a large number of horse-drawn
vehicles, is crossing a bridge. The pro-
portion of the train surface to the bridge
surface, and consequently of the strains
due to each, will of course be very much
larger in the shorter spans. In the
longer bridges the proportion will rap
idly decrease; but it can never reach
point, even in structure of the length
of the Brooklyn or the Forth bridge, at
which it becomes negligible quantity.
There can be little doubt that it was the
increase of surface due to the entrance
of the passenger train upon the big spans
of the Tay bridge that was the immedi-
ate cause of their being blown bodily
sidewise into the river

New York.-Lifting double veil Of

to the jury tip-tilted nose, the end
of which was big and very red, for

with a tendency to turn up at the
end, and she went to the doctor to
have it shortened and the tip lowered,
submitting to his treatment on his
statement that it would be pointe;:
and that she could have an aquiline,
or Roman, or Grecian nose, as she
liked. Instead, she was subjected to
great pain, the circulatory veins were
broken down, causing it to swell and
blossom, as shown, causing her great
anguish in her nose and body" But

President Roosevelt, says the New York

Aunt Sally's
Guardian Angel

MHEN they established the First ra-
w tional bank at Clarksville Aunt
Sally Warner, widow of so. rich and
stock to the amount of $4,000. when
she had heen convinced that it would be
a good investment, she agreed.
Her money, or at least share OF it,
was in bank at Hickstown, and, instead
of turning over certified check for her
stock, she decided to drive over. draw
the cash and bring it babck. 1t was no.
bodys business, she maintained, so she
said nothing about her trip.
Hickstown was II miles from Clarks-
vile, with an old settled country be-
tween, and she had not the slightest
fear of driving along with million dol
lars in her old-fashioned buggy, drawn
by the old gray mare. She started from
home early one morning, planning to
be back by one o'clock in the afternoon.
The money was drawn from the bank,
placed in an old satchel, and after
Aunt Sally had bit to eat and
had given the mare a fodder, the satchel
was placed in the buggy, and she head
ed for home.
The day was not and dusty, the mare
lazy, and so far from feeling nervous
over her cargo, the widow found it
hard work to keep her eyes open.
Half way between the two towns, a
creek crossed the road without bridge,
and to the left was considerable tract
of woodland The mare stopped OF
her own accord to quench her thirst
and cool her feet when the creek was
reached, and she was gulping down the
water when Aunt Sally observed dis
consulate man sitting by the roadside.
He rose. bowed and limped forward
He was we'll dressed, had an honest
looking face, and told story of an
accident A team he was driving had
run away, had thrown him out and
sprained his ankle
He wanted to reach CIarkSville on
and if Aunt Sally was going that far and
would give him seat in her buggy he
would he glad to pay"
"Tush, .sir-tush!" exclaimed Aunt
Sally, as she shook finger at him.
'3This is a Christian land, and we do
not seek to wiring money out of people
in distress. am going to Clarksville,
and you will be most welcome to share
the ride. Be careful and don't wrench
the ankle again when you get up. Let
me give you hand. You'll want to see
q doctor as soon as we get to town.
The man climbed into the buggy with
an effort and uttered groan as he
sank back among the cushions The
widow gathered up the reins for start,
but before the horse had moved foot
the strangers right arm stole around
her neck with such a hug that she had
no sooner realized she was being
garroted than fire flashed before her
eyes and she lost consciousness
Her body sunk down in heap, and

MR.. RoLPH's BRITISH FLAG.

THAT the members of the police de-

Rolph, Jr., who resides at Twenty-fifth

flag-raising on Wednesday evening in
honor of an English friend who was
visiting him and used for that purpose
a full-sized British flag. The flag was
seen by two policemen from the Mis-
sion station, who evidently thought it
betokened revolutionary designs, and,
upon their objections, the banner was
hauled down. Mr.. Rolph is a member
of the firm of Hind Rolph & Co., with

it appears that you have erected, or
there has been erected, a certain sea
wall or abutment upon a line outside
Of the high water mark upon your

While beginning at the point granted
in the patent for the property, which
you now own, you have extended your
bulkhead considerably beyond the
property owned by you, absorbing with
in your lines the beach between high

Territory has a right of way.
We therefore request that you re-
move your bulkhead to its proper place.
or if you prefer it. grant to the Terri

Various stories are going the rounds
as to the event that caused the Attor-
ney-General to begin his crusade
against sea walls at Waikiki. It is now
stated that the action of one woman
owning property at the beach was the
cause of the dispute. She is said to
have posted notices prohibiting people
from walking along her sea wall. The
native fishermen and others have been
accustomed from time immemorial to
walk along the beach front and it Is
said that they made the complaint to
persons who took it to the Attorney
General.
Following is a sample Of the notices
sent to property owners. The letter is
one Of the mild" class, which gives
the ,owner the option Of furnishing a
right of way or tearing down the walls.

Paris Green and WeeyiJ.

That the boil weevil is not to be
driven out of our Southern cotton
fields by the use of paris green Is the
conclusion of the Bureau of Entomol-
pgy of the Department of Agriculture
after extensive observations and ex-
periments. This conclusion is based
upon the following facts: II. Persist
ent use OF paris green from the time
OF chopping until picking lin some
cases as many as fifteen applications
has failed to materially reduce the
numbers of the weevilS or TO increase
the yield. . Careful examination of
very many experiments with the poi
son made Ivy planters in Texas has
failed to reveal conclusive Instances
iof its successful use. 3. Reasons fer
the impossibility of poisoning woeyils
are to be found in tho
facts that only very small percent
age emerge from Information before
the squares are set upon the plants,
that they do not drink the dew on the
leaves at night, and that as soon rs
squares are set all feeding is done
within the shelter of the bracts

son that might be applied"
