Cutting Down a Coast Line.

To cut two hundred miles bodily out
of coast line as old to travel as that
between New York and Boston is the
coolly announced purpose of certain
diggers in Massachusetts, who are be-
ing aided and abetted by Gov. Curtis
Guild. The Technical World Magazine
for February has an excellent descrip-
ton of this engineering feat, which is
Ito cast Cape Cod adrift" in the At
lantic and allow coasting steamers and
other craft to pass behind 1t, in great
saving in time and coal and sea CASH.
atty. Livingston Wright, the author,
says that the fact that the Cape Cod
canal is not to be dug across Cape Cod
itself is not due to Hibernian ancestry
of the diggers, but to certain good and
sufficient reasons of economy, which
he sets forth in a graphic story OF en-
cheering enterprise that will interest
anybody who cares a jot about the
progress of our national domestic
economy. OF national importance this
work truly is, for the canal will furnish
short cut for the largest ships be-
tween two of our biggest east coast

and the convenience of all travellers
who seek either metropolis. The his
tory of the efforts that have been made
since Americans became creatures i'm
patient of distance and delay, to
shorten routes from city to city is full
of big schemes and big deeds. This is
one typical of all others in the far
seeing wisdom shown by it's promoters
in choosing route and terminals, in the
simple courage with which difficulties
are faced and the immense American
energy that is being brought to bear
to complete the work planned in these
busy American minds. Some of the
history of the persistent efforts to
shrink" this Boston-New York coast
line, which have been making since
1876, is told in Mr.. Wright's article 1t

argued and delayed project on record, !"
but now the chaotic plans of these two
hundred years have crystalized into
one which seems certain of immense
success. Details of the PROJECT are ex-
ceedingly interesting as bearing on the
main work itself and on the use of
modern machinery under such condi-
tions. The illustrations of the article

Cinnamon Cure for Influenza.


The treatment for which / suggest a
fair trial, and which l invariably adopt,
Is abundantly simple, and is as follows:
Let the influenza patient take twelve
drops of cinnamon oil, and repeat the
dose in an hour; two hours after this
second dose let the patient take ten
drops of the oil, and then let him go ON
taking ten drops every two hours without
intermisson till the temperature falls
TO normal. And after the temperature
has fallen to normal, or possibly a lit
tie under let the patient take ten drops
three times a day for day or two.
in every disease, probably, the sooner
the patient is placed under treatment
the better, and this is pre-eminently the
rase in influenza. And If a patient suf-
fering from this disease is systematically
treated with cinnamon oil In the manner
above described within three or four
hours from the onset of the disease, l
think 1t will probably be found that the
temperature will have returned to normal
within twelve houre; but If the patient
is not put under treatment for a couple

temperature becomes normal. After the
temperature has fallen to normal the
patient should remain In his room for
at least twenty -four hours, and, if pos
sible, should remain indoors for Il
further period of two or three days.
But many cases that had been SUBMIT
ed early to treatment cases of robust
persons under forty years of age and
whose engagements were pressing, |
have permitted to return to their engage
ments after only twenty-four hours rest,
and so far without any untoward results.
But l have always advised that patients
should remain indoors for two or three
days if they possibly can. Especially
should they be urged to do so in those
cases where the disease has been allowed
to run for day or two before being sub-
mitted to treatment each dose of cn-
namon oil should be taken in a wineglass
or a wineglass of water. The oil can be
obtained from any respectable druggist

deem and a number of other towns, in
the work of substantially improving
the park and the roadwa!> leading to
it and adding such ATTRACTIONS and
conveniences as will make II what
nature evidently intended it to be-
the healthiest and most attractive
summer resort in this portion of the
northwest. We understand that q
large number of shares Of -tock have
been subscribed for and taken, Orton-
Vile and Milbank each taking hund-
| red shares and each likely to double
its subscription, while other towns
have subscribed in like proportion,
and that work will begin very soon,
especially upon the roadways leading
co ana through the park, improving
the water front, adding water works
and fire protection, eplarging and
improving the hotel and providing
better and more ample accommoda-
tiOns for cottagers and visitors.
Simpson Park should be something
more than a Chautauqua and camp
meeting ground: it should be most
popular resort for at least five months
in each year; It should have the
best steamboats, and stage SER
vice. with regular and reasonable
prices and season schedules that can

BANK BURGLARY
The Strandburg Bank Suffers From
Night Men

The Bank at Strandburg was
entered last Tuesday night
and the safe blown open. The
robbers secured something like
s., 500 in cash, but aid not dis
turb papers or securities of any
kind. There was a burglary in
surance on the bank for $4,000,
so that the loss is covered by
insurance. The indications are
that the work was that of ex-
perts, the vault being bored
through and the safe and steel
chest blown open with dynamite.
The burglars made a clean get
away and left no clue that might
lead to their arrest. 1t is be-
lieved that there were three
parties concerned in the affair,
one of the men being stationed
as look out, while two of them
worked on the safe. The rob-
berry occurred about three
0 clock in the morning. and one
or two of the villagers who were
awakened, lighted lamps, but
were ordered to put them out,an
order that was emphasized with
pistol shots.
