ISOLATED CAPE HATTERAS.
Much Talked About, But Hard to
Reach.

There are few names more widely
known in the United States or localities
about which a greater ignorance prevails
than Cape Hatteras.
Situated as it is at the angle where the
long strip of sand beach from cape Henry
south turns at a right angle to the west
ward. with the widest part of Pamlico
sound between it and the mainland and
with the beach both west and north cut
into several islands by nlets from sound
to ocean. its position is most isolated.
No means of transportation exist along
the beach. and the nearest railway sta
ton nearly 100 miles away it is an easier
place to talk about than to visit.
Like all sand promontories, the point
of the cape is almost moving An old
wreck embedded deep in the. sand is

copper that still remained on her bot

anyone is likely to steal it from him.

plank is run out over the side. the inner
end caught under the lea washboards
while on the outer end. with legs dang

as ballast. And this not in racing, mind
you. but in everyday sailing

1t will be noticed that large percent
age of the liquor tax certificates issued
in Maine are for the sale of malt liquors.
About half of these dealers sell only
ncn-intoxicating beer. There is not a
state or territory in the Union where, ac-

sold annually in the United States is ap-

about $2,600,000. The New Hampshire rev.

DOG RINGS FOG BELL.
Only Assistant to Lonesome Alas
kan Liahtkeeper.

Off the shores of Alaska, on a small,
rocky island, is a little light station,
connected with which is a fog bell.
During the continuance of dense fogs,
frequently prevail. the bell Is used to
warn vessels of the danger Of ap-
preaching too near the island and coast.
The lightkeeper has large and very
intelligent sheppard dog that answers
to the name of Don Carlos. This dog
has been trained to tell the fog bell
when the weather is very heavy So
wcll-trained is Don Carlos that, when
the fog comes rolling in. he rushes. un-
hidden by the keeper, to the bell and
begins to tug at the rope and to sound
the alarm.
Don Carlos often takes his turn ct
the bell during the night when the
keeper is busy looking after the light.
II do not see how / could get along
without Don Carlos the keeper de-
clares. II am all alone and have no
other assistant; but can always RELY
,, implicitly on my dog. He knows his
duty and faithfully performs it, wheth-
er told to or not"-Detroit Free Prass

MOLES AND MOLE cATCHERs.
How Animals Value las Risen With
Fashions Changes.

On more than one occasion has the
poor little underground mole, whose
room is 50 generally preferred to his
company, played a conspicuous part
in history. When William of Orange
broke his collar bone as the result of
falling over ~molehill at Hampton
Court, the Jacobtes solemnly drank
the health of "the little gentleman in
black who had been the cause of the
disaster. OF more doubtful nature
was the compliment paid at a later
date to the same animal by M. LIE
Court, who is said to have devoted the
whole of his life to the study of moles
and their habits. For what the emf
ncnt Frenchman evidently did was to
establish school of mole catching,
Whel eat "he taught many what he had
acquired by incessant practice, the art
of tracing the mole to his hiding place
in the ground and cutting off his re-
treat"
No one but PROFESSIONAL used to
attempt mole catching in the days
when the wooded trap was the only
available engine of destruction. It re-,
