Sand Dunes In Gascony.

One of the most interesting and re-
markable Of the many regions for the
observation Of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in GascOny.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles in
length, some 100000 cubic yards Of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface parti-
cles from the westward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone moves
gradually inward. In the course Of
years there has thus been formed
complex systern Of dunes, all approx
mately parallel with the coast and
with one another and Of all attitudes
up to $50 feet. These are marching
steadily inward at a rate Of from three
to six feet year, whole villages hav-
ing sometimes been torn down to pre-
vent burial and rebuilt at distance.

Slow Growth Of LANGUAGES.
A. Il. WRIGHT,
Mayor.

So long as government was conduct.
ed exclusively by throne and aris-
tocracy, the ruling class was con.
strained to speak one language, that Of
the court and of polite society. All
cultivated people in the land were edu-
Gated in the same literary tongue,
which was naturally used In official
transactions.
The uneducated classes talked their
own dialects and cared little what
their rulers spoke. They have not al
ways objected even when these men
affected foreign culture. Frederick
the Great thought himself a French
litterateur and spelled his name like a
Frenchman. But when popular elec-
tons were introduced, and still moro
when primary schools became univer'
sal, the question of language assumed
a far greater Importance, A. Lawrence
Towel writes in the Independent, New
York. Then the matter Of race was
brought to the forefront.

Mr.. Ford knows a great deal about
rubber. He has some of it's character

known that he was taking to Germany

useful. ~
Innocence is a dangerous asset In q

that he might have taken consign-
ment of machine guns and have
thought they were sewing machines.
We love his innocence, but the
thought arises that the United States

Self-righteously the other day,
That since this war so dark and cruel
Began, she had not bought a jewel
"At least. not one," she quickly
pleaded,
THAT was not absolutely needed"

"Are ladies people?" was my thought.
And then l thought of all that I
Had bought l did not need to buy
A Pullman seat, a cake, a fur
To me, perhaps, as gems to her.
Extravaganza, we all concede,
Is buying things we do not need:
But oftentimes, think you'll grant,
It's buying things we do not want
Things which we later have to pay
The furnace msn to take away.
But Thrift! All, think what thrift

For foolish folk, like me and you:
Not only keeping us secure
From buying things we can't endure.

less OF your race, your faith, your sta

VIII you hoard your money and take
your chance that providence will win
this fight for you and save 1t from the
Golfers of the German empire? Or will
you 20 In partnership with your gov
eminent and win II certainly, although
your incomes may thereby be lessened.
The latter l think is the course Of con-
duct for the wise and patriotic man.
There lived in my town in Indiana
man who for 40 years had been a
pillar In one of the prominent
churches. One day he left II and
joined another. Upon being asked
what he thought of his new church, he
said 1t was just as good as the old one
and a little cheaper. That. l think,
ought to be the attitude Of mind at the
present time. To be little poorer at
the close of this war, and yet to feel
that your children and your children's
children are safe from the incursion of
ambitious and bloodthirsty men Is just
as good as to take chance on Heaven
winning this war for people who are
willing to win 1t for themselves, and
Will be, In my opinion, q good deal
cheaper.
To help finance this war Is not only
duty, but it is great privilege.
Heretofore you have been political
stockholders in this republic. Some Of
the evils of our politics have arisen
from the fact that the interest Is pure
ly political and not financial. Now
you have a chance to become a flnan-
cial stakeholder in your country. The
war of course will be financed, II need
be, by the very rich of the country, but
II ought not to be, in the interests Of
the good Of the country, for the debt
some time must be paid, and II you
will all take as many shares as you
can In this financial company Of yours.
1t will tend to prudence and economy
In the administration Of public affairs
In the future. 1t will lessen your
taxes. and you and your children as
you pay them will feel that you are
helping to pay yourselves rather than
helping to pay persons who you be-
lieve have unjustly profited out of the
necessities Of this war. You can pre-
vent anybody getting an undue finan-
cial advantage out of the Indebtedness
which this people must contract. II
you will do your best. If you will not
do your best, and prefer to keep for
needless luxuries your little earnings.
