Readers and admirers of Charles
Kingsley will learn with regret that
his beloved pebble Ridge" at West.
ward Hol has suffered serious damage
from the recent gales.
This remarkable barrier IS about
fifty feet wide and twenty feet high,
and extends in a straight line for
about two miles from the distant cliffs
to the mouth Of the Taw like an arti-
fetal embankment. It is a singularly
uniform and compact structure, form
ed of rounded slate, stones or pebbles,
varying from six inches to two feet
in diameter. Formerly the "potwal-
lopers," as the neighboring common
ers are opprobriously called, used to
vindicate their rights by replacing the
scattered stones every Whit Mon
day. but of recent years this laudable
practice has disastrously fallen into
desuetude.-Pall Mail Gazette.

EYE NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH
ocullst's Second Attempt Procures for
Him Decoration From Haitien
Emperor.

During the reign of Emperor Sou
lougue in Haiti one of his generals
wrote to an eminent oculist in Paris
ordering a glass eye. The oculist fiat
tered himself that a successfully con-
structed artificial optic would secure
for him a decoration of honor by the
Haitian government; accordingly, he
devoted his entire skill to the produc-
tion Of a work of art
Six months after the shipment of
the eye to Haiti, the oculist received a
small box from Haiti In his imagina-
tion he pictured the golden testimonial
to his skill, so 1t was with horror that,
when he had unwound the folds of cot
ton in the box, he saw returned his
work Of art A letter accompanied the
box. Among other things it said:
THE eye you have forwarded me is
Of a tint that resembles that of the
Spanish flag, and l am tso patriotic to
wear any but the color of my coun-
try"
Whereupon the oculist proceeded at
once to the admiralty, where he ascer-
tanned the coors of the Haitian flag
He then Immediately manufactured a
scarlet and green eye, of the approved
shades, and forwarded 1t to the en-
peror, who was much pleased with the
effort and who duly decorated the ocu

For the first time in its history the
metropolis OF America is to have a
land show and no event scheduled
for 1911 viii be of greater interest to
the Atlantic seaboard or of more inl-
portance to the entire country than
the American Land and Irrigation
Exposition to be held in New York
City November 3 to II.
Seven millions of people living on
and near Manhattan Island are to
have their first opportunity to witness
an exhibit of the products and re.
sources of the soil. Incredible as II
may seen to the rural dweller, there
are hundreds of thousands of citizens
of New York and adjacent territory
who know absolutely nothing of the
agricultural resources of the states
that support them nor of the oppor
tunities for gaining comfortable AMI
Independent livelihood from the soil

lion immigrants yearly large per-

that his department shall send an
educational exhibit to the exposition,
and Canada's agriculture and horti
culture will be well represented.
Mexico also is planning to make an
exhibit of it's agricultural products.
Exhibits will be made by farmers
and orchardists, by majority of the
states, by leading railroads, by boards
of trade and by chambers of COM

largest and best land show in point

No land show ever held in the world
will have been given in the center OF
so many millions people, More than

Free gifts of this kind have never

and this will prove great attrac-

Among the prize allotments are 100

Iowa State University; Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, president of the University
of California, and the presidents of
the agricultural colleges of Missis
sippi, South Carolina, Kansas, Utah
and Iowa
James j, Hill of the Great North
ern, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the
Canadian Pacific Howard Elliott of
the Burlington and President Earring
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul were quick to approve of the
exposition by donating valuable prizes
and taking exhibition space in Madi-
son Square Garden for their roads.
These men appreciate the opportunity
offered by the exposition for exploit
ing the productivity of the soil along
their lines in this center of millions
of men and millions Of money.
Gilbert McClurg, general manager
of the exposition, with offices in the
Singer building, 149 Broadway, New

with soil and crop experts and ex,
hibitors all over the country. Secre

ties of the nation to stimulate a
stronger tie of labor and of capital
toward the undeveloped land.
When this fact was brought to the
attention of Arthur E. Stilwell, presi
dent of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Railway and of the United
States and Mexican Trust Company
in his office in the Singer tower he
quickly realized that land show
in New York City would be eagerly
welcomed by hundreds of thousands
of it's citizens anxious to learn the
agricultural resources of our country
and to secure some knowledge of the
opportunities to be found in tilling
the soil.
Mr.. Stilwell at once authorized his
interviewer Mr. Gilbert McClurg, who
had directed the national irrigation
congresses in Colorado and Utah, to
organize the American Land and Irri-
CATION Exposition, to lease the Madi-
son Square Garden and to hold New
York's first land show there in No
vember of the present year.
The first New York land exposition
is to be thoroughly representative OF
American agriculture as well as the
most picturesque and instructive call
of the land ever presented in the ma
ton. Exhibitors will display their
soil and it's products or show maps
and relief models of their holdings.
Agriculture as it is generally prac-
ticed, dry farming and irrigation
methods will be demonstrated Nov.
ing pictures, illustrated lectures, liter
ature, growers and agents will demon
strate the possibilities of American
soils. In fact, the exposition will per-
fectly illustrate that from the land
comes all permanent wealth and that
life on the land affords the greatest
measure of independence.
BIG Men Encourage Agriculture.
President Stilwell has secured for
the exposition a thoroughly represen-
tative advisory and governing board.
It is made up of the presidents of
twelve of the great railway systems
Of the country. United States Sen
ators and Congressman, thirty gov.
ernors of the most progressive states
Of the Union, and well known agri-
culturists. educators and bankers.
Among them are President McCrea

MODEST TOMB OF GARIBALDI
Expressed Desire Of italian Patriot
Disregarded After Death by
Friends and Relations.

There is In Caprera peculiar seem
of resin and incense baked in the sun
and 1t is precisely this sun, not as In
Africa, which brings out the aroma oi
the lentisk of the low-growing pines
and of the myrtles. says the Glasgow
Herald
The pungent perfume Of these
island shrubs explains the desire ex
pressed by Garibaldi In all his Wills
mot excepting the last in 1870 tc
have his body burned on a funeral
pile of the wood of the island 'before
letting any one know of his decease,'
in the open air, his face turned to the
sun like Pompeius, and then to have
the ashes placed in the wall behind
the tomb Of his little grandchildren
Anita and Rosita, and beneath the
shade of a leafy acacia.
But when he died. his win was dis
regarded by friends and relations, and
against this proclamation Giosne Car
ducci, the greatest Of modern Italian
poets, has protested-a protest ap'
proved by the most eminent men OF
science and of the democracy. Thus
the body of the hero was embalmed
and placed in a tomb covered by an
enormous block of Caprera granite
and inscribed on 1t only the name,
Garibaldi
A tomb worthy indeed Of the hero
and which reminds the visitor of the
modest grave of Gladstone's father in
the little cemetery at Leith, near
Edinburgh. Garibaldl's resting place
is in an olive wood between the gen
erals house and the seashore. Five
other tombs surround his now, those
Of Menotti and Maulo, his eldest and
his youngest sons; of his daughter
Teresita wife of General Canzio, and
of Rosita and Anita A sailor of the
Italian navy mounts guard at the
tomb.
In his home at Caprera Garibaldi
rose very early in the morning and
with his hat well pulled down over
his eyes proceeded by tiny footpath
to a prominence and thence admired
the wide view of sea and horizon.
After his morning walk he returned
home in a cheerful frame of mind,
had kind word for everybody and
went with the peasants to look after
the cultivation Of his fields.
During the last years of his life, be-
ing crippled hand and foot by arthri
tbs, he seldom left his room, but he
sat with the windows open and the
sparrows hoped in and took food
from his hand On his deathbed he
had the windows opened to let two lit
tie tame tomtits into his room He
generally dined at noon, then played
a game of draughts; after that he die
tated his correspondence or some
lines from memory, retired to bed at
8 and there read his favorite authors.
