VILLAGES BURIED IN SAND.
Winds Work Great Havoc Alons
 the Shore of North Carolina.

Winds Work Great Havoc Alons
 the Shore of North Carolina.
 The prevailing winds from q little west of south have rippled the hstero- geneous sands on Hatteras, just south of the cape; on Shackelford, at itl southwest extremity, and on the south. west side of Smiths island These wind ripples started in sands exposed by the removal of a strip of forest next the shore, have grown in size to great sand waves, which are advancing on forests, fields and homes As the sand wave has advanced 1t has taken up several feet of the loose soil over which It has passed, undermining houses, lay ing bare the roots of dead trees and ex- posing the bones of the dead In the cemeteries.
 Diurnal winds from the sea have piled the sands Into small, wandering dunes and hillocks and even sometimes into sand waves, which are marching steadily and shoaling the waters of the sounds. At Nag's Head large hotel, constituting a solid obstruction, soon had sand wave built up short dis tance in It's rear, until the level of Its roof was reached, when the wave moved forward and engulfed the hotel In the immediate nelghborhood two cottages suffered a similar fate. Here the land gained on the sound $50 feet in ten yeara
 On the northern end of Hatteras isl- and a fishing village had been similarly buried, while the sand had entirely crossed the island at several places north of the cape. This movement of the sand was started just after the civil war by the cutting of trees next the shore for ship timbers, and the section Is still known as the great woods, though not a stick of timber stands upon 1t to-day. Plmlico sound for two miles from the Hatteras shore Is growing steadily shallower from the deposit of brown sand
 On Smiths island | pilotS village has been buried beneath the sand wave for a number of years, but this has been recently resurrected and its houses are again occupied. On Currituck, be- low CaYey's inlet life-saving station, the sand has advanced entirely across the land, and one man. moving before the advancing sand. has at last built his house on piles in the sand

The increase h the number of wom. sn in the trade and industry of America Is alarming. Out of 305 "galnful occu- pations' enumerated by the census of the United States there are only eight In which women do not appear. From four out of these eight occupations women are excluded by law. At the present time there are over 6,OOO0O0 women at work In various trades and occupations in the United States. In 1900 of every five American women over ten years of age there was one who was going outside of her family duties and who was taking part In the gainful work of the working world. At that time there were forty women civil engineers. thirty women mechanical and electrical engineers and three wom- en mining engineers, besides fourteen women veterinary surgeons.

The "chain" or snowfall" letter nuisance has received recognition both by British postal experts and at the hands of the late postal congress. These letters, as most persons know, are start cd by some one who sends out, say, a group of ten, each recipient being asked to send out ten more, and 80 on-in gemetrlcal progression. The result Is a nuisance to many private individuals as well as to the postal authorities. Reports upon the matter made by Hen mixer Heaton to the postal congress led to decision that hereafter "chaln letters insufficlently prepaid will not be returned to the writers, as is the case with ordinary letters, but will be thrown Into the dead-letter office.

HIS LEGACY.
Life Insurance Brought Comfort and
 Relief to Young Widow.

v
 Relief to Young Widow.
 "Life-insurance agents" says a wri- ter h the American Magazine, "are ministers teaching industry, sobriety, economy, and love of wife and child. It Is business, and yet through It the agent can obey the mandate. Visit the fatherless and widows In their aflic uon.'
 Last year, before Christmas, I was working in little town In South Da- kota. A man In the neighborhood had, under great pressure, allowed me to write him policy for two thousand dollars. His wife had protested wig orously at the time, saying that she needed a sewing machine more than insurance.
 "One day I heard that a man had been killed on the railroad, and al though the accident made no particu- lar impression on me at the time, discovered during the day that the victim was the man I had insured. Immediately I hurried about and se- cured the necessary proofs of death, sent them in to the office, and request ed that a draft for the policy be sent to me without delay. Less than week sfter the funeral I went to the home If the widow with a draft for two thousand dollars.
 "She met me at the door with her baby in her arms. All about there were signs of deprivation, almost of want.
 "I did not reveal the purpose of my visit at once, and the woman talked remulously about her husband.
 "'I found these In his overcoat pock- st,' she said, softly. She handed me a small rubber doll and little package of nuts and candy.
 "'He bought these she said, for the baby's Christmas Then she broke down in a torrent of grief.
 "'Your husband sends you this for your Christmas,' I said, handing over the draft I then explained 1t was her insurance money.
 "She thanked me. I said was not entitled to thanks.
 "She thanked the company. I insist ed that the company was not entitled to thanks.
 "Thank your husband,' I said, for this Is his legacy of love to you and to his child.'"

Henry Holt & Co., have concluded arrangements to publish In 1907 new novel by William deMorgan, whose Joseph Vance" has received such re- markable praise from leading critics both here and abroad. The new book (about which no particulars have as yet been given out) will bear the rather striking title, Alice for Short"
 The Harpers have arranged for pub licaton in 1907 of books by President Roosevelt. William Dean Howells, Sir Gilbert Parker, Mark Twain, Norman Duncan. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Robert Hichens, Margaret Potter, Hen " James, May Sinclair, Theodore Watts-Dunton, Thomas A. Janvier, Frederick Trevor Hill, Gertrude Ath- erton, Florence Morse Kingsley and numerous others.
 B. Putnam Weale, author of ''The Reshaping of the Far East" has writ ten new book on the eastern question entitled "The Truce In the East" which Is likely to attract considerable attention. MT. Weale believes that the eastern question Is In many respects more threatening to-day than ever be- fore. The enormous borrowings of Japan, and the. likelihood that the Korean question will come up again within few months, are indications of an approaching crisis in Japanese affairs that make this work particular ly timely.
 After many years as sailor, Joseph Conrad, whose latest book, The Mirror Of the Sea-" was recently published by the Harpers, Is living in a quiet, slant roofed cottage near Hythe In Kent, England. In front of his house is an Irregular old stone wall, separating 1t from the roadway, and about the house are thick-clustering vines and a gar den filed with old-fashioned flowers A seaman could not live comfortably with restricted outlook, and so one Is not surprised to find wide sweeps of charming country in view from the cottage windows.
 The news of the death of Charlotte Bronte's husband, Rev. Arthur Bell Nichols, says the London Academy. came as surprise to many people who were not aware he had survived his first wife so long The courtship was fine instance of "dogged does 1t" Mr. Nichols, a strict, decorous, taci- turn man, and poor curate. made up his mind to marry "Currer Bell" and proposed to her at the height of her fame. The lady seems to have been h. different; her father, the vicar was furious; Mir. Nichols had to leave the parish. But he held to his point cor. responding privately with Charlotte Bronte until her fathers opposition was sufficiently worn down to admit Of the curate being recalled and the marriage taking place, though without the final sanction of Rev. Patrick Bronte's presence. The simple curate and the lady of genius lived very hap- pily together for something less than a year, when death severed the union. For more than fifty years MT. Nichols lived, mainly upon a farm In Ireland, honoring the memory of his wife and what is more-respecting her family secrets

Seeking New Thing. to Gr.r

An annual income of $4O,oOO, 900 os m original investment of S2,OO0 is the urprising record of the U. S. Depart nent of Agriculture, says Dewey Shel- Ion Beebe in the Technical World Mag. azine.
 To the riddle, Why Is the Depart nent of Agriculture" some scoffers have been wont to reply, Just cause" They used to rldicule the agricultural work of the government because they said there were no tangible results. But the department, in Its Yearbook for 1905, comes to the front with lust cause" for Its existence. What busi- ness man in the United States, whether hs fathers trust or runs a corner drug store, can point to a profit like this: An investment of s2,OOO in 1864, now produces an annual income of S40,- poo, 900, yet this is one of the records of the much-mal!gned Agricultural De- partment The department introduced trom China and France in 1864, . con- saratively small amount of sorghum at cost of s2,oOO. Now a considerable part of the molasses consumed in the United States comes from thls outlay of s2, 900, and the annual value of the sor- Khum crop Is at least $40,0O0,OO0.
 But the astonishing work of the Az. ricultural Department does not stop with sorghum. The branch of the de- partment's work which endeayors to and new things for the farmer to yrow, and to make the United States independent of foreign countries for all of It's cereals, has been most prolific in tangible results; and its success iI ransplantins alien grains is phenoms nal. and Is financially a paying propo 6doA
