NEW WHARF AT FORT HUNT.
Construction to Be Commenced at an
Early Date.

A new wharf to replace the long wharf
at Fort Hunt, Va, will be built this fall, 1t
Is stated, and the work on the structure is
expected to commence within the next
month or six weeks. About three years ago
plans were prepared for the structure and
surveys made Of the new site, but nothing
definite was done until recently, when bids
were asked for the building Of the struc-
ture. These bids were opened in the office
Of the quartermaster at Fort Hunt yester-
day, and it is stated there were a number
Of bidders for the work from this city and
= elsewhere. :Hzs
The Fort Hunt wharf, in consequence of
the wide fats on the Virginia side the
river; Ia one Of the longest piers on the
Potomac, being, 1t Is stated over q half
mile in length. This Is necessary in order
to bring the pier to the deep water Of
the channel. For some time past the old
pier, which is now about ten years old. has
been In need OF extensive repairs, so ex-
Guided it will be economical to build a new
pier, instead of spending a large sum on
the rebuilding of the old structure
The new pier, 1t is stated, will be located
a short distance to the north of the present
pier and will be more nearly opposite Fort
Washington. 1t will be built in the most
substantial manner, and like the old pier,
will be of considerable length, in order to
reach from the shore to deep water in the
river.
The bids submitted for the construction
of the new pier were as follows: Carter
& Clarke of this city, $44,968; Lyon Bros.
of this city, $40 600; C. J. Pierce of Phila-
delphia $4,000. The award of the con-
tract has not yet been made.

Chesapeake Beach.

There is nothing more refreshing these hot
August days than a trip to Chesapeake
Beach and a salt bath. 1t drives summer
care away with a certainty and ease unap-
proachable in any other way. 1t Is real
salt water bathing that is offered at the
Beach. This summer elaborate prepara-
lions have been made for the comfort and
safety of the bathers. and a fence of mar
row mesh wire incloses broad and deep
expanse of the water front Within this In
closure bathing is safe almost as 1t is
in bath tub. Within 1t also the attacks
of the sea nettle. that in these ATTITUDES
sometimes become unpleasant, are absolute
~ unknown. The Washington stay-at-homes
are realizing this summer they never
have in the past the full delights of Chesa-
peake Beach. and how attractive resort
is at their doors. Every train of the Chesa-
peake Beach railway that leaves the Dis
trict line is crowded with merry-makers.
The board walk, extending out over the
waters of the bay, and the shaded coastline
is filled every afternoon and evening. The
attractions. on the board walk are in full
blast and the hotels and restaurants do
generous business. Dancing on the pavil-
ion is a special attraction always, many
parties of young people going down from
the city in the afternoon and returning on
the late train.

AT cHILDREN's GARDEN.
Rapid Growth Of Weeds Necesitated
Prompt Action.

The hot weather of last Monday and
Tuesday, followed by the heavy rains Of the

growth Of weeds In the children's gardens

inculcate lessons Of civic pride In the
youngsters There are number Of plots
in the garden not owned by individuals
that have been planted for decorative pur-
poses or for study. AS there are no funds
appropriated to carry on the garden, the
care of these plots falls upon the teachers
and children. There is not the same in
centive to the children to work upon them
as upon the individual ones. which they
own as they are then working for the en-
tire community, and they do not as yet
realize the relation Of the individual to the
whole. A strong effort has been made by
the teachers to arouse and stimulate an
interest In the entire garden and not only
that from which there Is to be a personal
gain, so a large portion Of time has been
characteristics and habits Of growth of the
most troublesome weeds have been taught.

garden by lady interested in the work.
These were hidden in the trees, under the
bushes and in the grass. A peanut hunt
followed In addition to having the prtvl-
lege Of eating all that they found, the
closest observers were rewarded with
punches of verbenas, china pinks. corn
flowers and nasturtiums.
The crop of tomatoes since last Monday
has euualed that of the entire season
previously. Twelve bushels have been
taken home by the children, six Of which
have been gathered the past week. Large
quantities Of stakes have been sent to the
children by Mr.. James F. Oyster of the
board of education. These, with the addt-
ton of broomsticks, help to keep the toma-
toes from the ground.

CURE BY CUTHCURA

three cakes Of Soap, six boxes Cuticura Ointment
and two bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent. bathed
with the Soap, applied the Ointment once a day
and took the Resolvent directed. In thirty days
I was completely cured, and think permanently,
as 1t was about five years ago.
1.-The psoriasis first made its appearance in red
spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the
center spot about the size of silver dollar of
sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle
would form heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop Of. To re-
move the entire scales by bathing or using oil to
soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze
out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty
although it in spots all over my body also
on my scalp. II let the scales remain too long
without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. suffered intense itching,
worse at nights after getting in bed or

unbearable.
