street was wet, but the rail over the
spot and the paving stones around it
We're perfectly dry. The cause of the
unusual condition was not explained.

1t is expected that the steamer City
of Augusta, which is undergoing alter
ations and repairs at East Boston, may
be finished in season to resume her
place on the Bath Augusta route by
the last of the present week. although
it is not certain. The steamer is hav-
ing two new rudders installed under
the wheel in order that She may be
handled more readily. and her saloon
deck is also being raised is inches or
more to allow of more space between
that and the main deck. This change
will prove a decided improvement and
will allow the steamer to carry freight
which could not be carried before.

Bricks from Sand.

A correspondent of Cardiff, Wales,
reports that great sand dunes extend
for miles along the north coast of the
British Channel. These in addition to
being utterly worthless for all pur-
poses, are also menace to the narrow
strip Of lowlands between them and
the hills. A company of business men
have determined to put the sand to
some use, and If their works prove
profitable an industry will be built up
on the dunes. The plan is to manu-
facture bricks from sand. The expert
ment has proved a success on the cont
nent where the bricks are produced in
several colors and take a glaze salts
factorily. Some experts claim that
these bricks made of sand and lime
will be the building brick of the future
in Wales and the United Kingdom.

Fallacy About Jewellers.

For a great many persons think there
are dishonest jewellers who make a
practice, with full jeweled" watches,
of substituting crystals for the jewels
at an enormous profit.
As matter of fact, there Is no truth
In this suspicion. A Jeweler, no matter
how dishonest, could not steal the jew

In antique watches the jewels were

four orders from societies for nearly
two thousand ham sandwiches, and was

included slicing the bread, buttering It

Mary Cranston tossed her package of
history papers upon the table, tore of
her hat and jacket and threw herself
upon the couch, her fingers pressed
upon her aching eyes. She was sick Of
teaching-sick of it! The eager ambi-
lions with which she had begun one
