pocket all they get?' inquired She.

Ancient EnameIs.

It is certain that glazes having the
composition of good enamels were
manufactured at a very early date.
Excellent glazes are still preserved, and
some of the bricks which have been
found among the ruins of Babylon
have been ascribed to the seventh or
eighth century B. c. The glaze on the
Babylonian bricks was found upon ex-
animation to have a base of soda glass,
or silicate of sodium. Glazes of a SINH
lar character were also manufactured
by the Egyptians as early as the sixth
dynasty. There can be little doubt that
the Greeks and Etruscans were also
acquainted with the art of enameling.

He that hath SO many causes of Joy,

sorrow and peevishness who loses all

Enjoy the blessings of this day If God
sends them, and the evils of 1t bear
patiently and sweetly, for this day only

and we are not yet born to the morrow.
But If we look abroad and bring into
one days thoughts the evil Of many,
certain and uncertain, what will be

OTTENS HARBOR TRACT
The New Section Of Holly Beach
Becoming Popular Among
Investors. Tract is
Being Rapidly
Improved

The development of the Ottens Har-
Dor Tract is being rapidly carried to conn.,
pletion and in a short time it will be
one of the most desirable sections on the
entire island. Large quantities of
material for the construction of the
streets aud sidewalks is arriving daily
and the tract will be a most attractive
spot to those seeking cottage and boat
house sites at a moderate cost. The
opportunity to become a lot owner at
the harbor on terms most advantageous
to the purchaser, is the best ever offered
on the beach.
Considerable activity has developed
in the demand for lots at the harbor
during the past ten days and many
sales have been made to both residents
and visitors to the island. Many who
have bought lots have expressed their
intention of building cottages, boat
houses and bungalows during the COM
ing fall and next spring. 1t is safe to
predict a healthy building boom for the
harbor and by the opening of next
season a good sized residential section
will be added to Holly Beach.
The great State Inland Waterway,
directly into which the harbor will run,
will be started early in October. Speci-
fications have been sent out and bids
.saGyited, by the Commission having the
work in charge, providing for the con-
struction of the waterway from Cape
May to Corson's Inlet. This work is to
be done during the coming winter and
spring.
This will be good news to the lovers
of motor boating, for it will mean plenty
of deep water and no tedious delays,
waiting for the tide to rise.
Work on the numerous public whar-
yes along the harbor water front will be
started at ono and rapidly finished.
Visitors to the harbor are numerous
and many wner of boats are using it
as an anchorage for their craft. The
many grabbing parties that fire.
quent the harbor are making nice
catches of crabs.
