1.-THE GARDEN OF ALLAH"

Another eminent French scientist, Prof.
Etchegoyen. by name, has startled the
world with a dream of colossal greatness.
This is no less a project than the conver-
sion of the Great Sahara Desert into all in
land sea. Two methods of accomplishing
this are suggested, one by cutting a chan
mel through AlgierS and letting in the
waters Of the Mediterranean Sea; the other
by cutting through the West coast of At
RIGA and letting in the waters of the Allan
tic, the purpose being to moderate the eli
mate and make possible the reclamation of
thousands of acres of fertile land.
The Great Sahara Desert presents 4 vast,
undivided waste of approximately 1885,
500 square miles, an area equal to practi-
cally the whole of Europe. Much of this
area is below sea level, making a natural
reservoir for a vast inland sea.
A somewhat lurid objection raised is
that the displacement of SO large a body
of water would upset the equilibrium OF
the earth and alter the axis of the globe!
This objection, however, is oyecome by
G.. A. Thompson in the Scientific American.
MIR. Thompson presents dizzying figures to
show that the weight OF thirty-five thou
sand billion ions of water this estimate Of
the amount required to flood the deSert)
is intiniteSimal in relation to the weight
of the world; and this displacement, &C.
curing, as it would, at the equatorial CEN
ter, could not possibly affect the balance
of the earth'S axis.
The scheme presents many interesting
problems-economic. political and meteor
illogical. 1t appears, however, entirely
feasible and it is probably not too wide a
prophecy to say that in future years the
Great Sahara Desert will be what the
Great American Desert is today MEM

500 REWARD, 500

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
last one dreaded disease that
science has been able t. cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cur now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
uf the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have So much faith IN its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES

What a tremendous waste of energy
is involved in the mere keeping up of
appearances. 1t is like an endless race.
1t is a race in which men and women
grow old, sacrifice their health, their
good looks, their enjoyment in life
eyen-and still the mad scramble goes
on.
A pride which is too silly to receive
serious consideration it would seem, re-
lentlessly drives men on into debt and
untold sacrifice, and lucky is the man
who escapes dishonor.
For practical utility. plated silver
ware is almost as serviceable as the
solid article, yet to make a good APP
pearance everyone who II approach
the price of solid silver must have it.
Silk petticoats have a charming
rustic. They Indicate comfortable cir.
cumstances. Therefore, every woman
whose husband earns even a modest
salary must have n silk petticoat to
impress her friends and acquaintance
and the public. And yet a petticoat
could be purchased at half the price
which would be just as good, from a
utility standpoint.
And someone pays in work for every
c n that is wasted in keeping up ap!
pearances. Someone is igiving his
strength, his energies, the precious hours
Of his life in exchange for every arti-
Gle which is used primarily for keeping
up appearances. ~
II ever simple utility becomes really
fashionable here in America we shall
become so wealthy that we will hardly
know what to do with our money.

PEGeY's CHRISTMAS STARS.

Peggie had been naughty, selfish
little girl all day Yes, she had, been a
cross, disagreeable little girl-and it
was Christmas Eve, too.
That very morning, when Uncle
George-her dear, big, jolly Uncle
George-asked her what she wanted
Santa Claus to bring her for Christ
mas she said she hoped he would
think of something very different from
anything he had ever brought her be-
fore, and she wanted him to stop at
her house first and leave all her pres
ents before he went anywhere else.
''But what about the other girls and
boys?" asked Uncle George.
"They can just wait until l have my
presents" said Peggie with toss of
her brown curls.
And that was not all. When
Mamma, who was very tired, asked
Peggie to pick out some of the toys
she hadn't used for weeks and weeks
and put them into big wooden box
that stood in the sewing room, waiting
to be filled and sent away to some
poor little children who loved dolls
and books and games but did not have
any, Peggie cried and said she did not
want to give away her pretty things
and asked why those other boys and
girls couldn't do without them. She
had not been so naughty since the day
| last summer when poor little boy
with thin face and a big bundle OF
papers under his arm, stood outside OF
the fence, and asked Peggie for one
just one of the big red roses, and she
had stamped her foot and said mo
no."
And it was Christmas Eve, anC
when Papa came home in his big rec
motor car, somebody was with him
Who do you suppose it was! Why
Grandma, of counsel The dearest
grandma in all the world, Peggie
thinks. You would think so too if she
put her arms about you and looked a
you with her kind eyes while she tolC
you sweet stories in her soft voice.
After supper Peggie climbed vi
into Grandma's lap, cuddled her heaC
against Grandma's shoulder ant
begged for the best story ever told
And Grandma told 1.-THE 1ovelies
story in the world. 1t was all abou
the Babe of Bethlehem, the dear little
Jesus who came down from HeaveI
to teach us how to be good and kline
and unself1sh. Who loved little chill
dren and is always sorry when anyon,
is unkind to them, or when they ar
not good.
By and by Mamma called Grandm;
up stairs, and while she was waitin,
for her to come back Peggie climbed
: up on to the window seat and locke,
up at the sky.
81 wonder if those little stars ar
the windows of Heaven" she said t,
herself And she thought they were
and tried to look through, and soon tn
stars seemed to be dancing about a
if they we're playing tag, or hide-and

Peggie laughed and clapped he
hands in glee Then the stars al
stood still, and one brighter than tn
others seemed to grow larger an
larger. Then, oh, wonders! Peggi
