How Enq.and Grows.

A great deal Of interest is taken
in England in the question Of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes defense
for the land by building up long
beaches OF sand and single which ar.
rest the waves before they can attack
the cliffs. An effort is making to pre-
vent, or better regulate, the removal OF
this material for construction and road
building, because in many places its
removal has permitted the sea free
" to exert It's power Of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascertained
that in the last half century England
has lost 6,e40 acres by sea erosion
and gained $4,000 acres through re-
claiming land the existence of which
is mainly due to material brought
down blythe rivers.

John Fillmore, great:grandfather OF
SfiHard Fillmore the fhirt rteenlh spresa-
dent 81 the Bniited States, was pi-:
rate, though he was a pirate in spite
of himself The story begins with the
sAsst quarter Of the ighteenth century,
when the freebooters, Bluebeardr Low
and Phillips, swept the Atlantic coast
from Jemaica to Newfoundland Phil
lips captured the Dolphin OF Cape Ann
"a vessel commanded by Andrew
Harden.
Harden discovered among 1.-The
pirates crew two young men, Jonn
Fillmore and Edward Cheesaan,
whom Philips had captured and
made pirates against their will.
They had determined either to zes-
cape from the pirates clutches or
to capture his vessel and bring him
and his crew to justice. They fixed:
an appointed hour for making the
attempt at escape, after reaching
an agreement with Harriden.
The signal was given when only
three were on deck, one, Of whom
was Phillips. One of the men was
thrown overheard, and the other two
were killed. This was done while the
crew was below In the hold OF the
ship. The captors then sprang into
the hold and placed the rest of the
crew in chains, steered the vessel
for Boston, and arrived there May 8,
1724. Two of the pirates were hanged,
while Fillmore, Cheesman and hisseen-
-federates were acquitted.

HIGH HONOR FOR SMALL GIRL
Face Of Ten-Year-csd Has Appeared
on Millions Of Coins OF the
United States.

The government Of the United States
In 1885 made an offer Of 81 900 for the
most acceptable design to be placed
upon the new cent coin soon to be
issued. Some indian chiefs travelled
from the northwest to Washington TO
visit the Great Father and then
journeyed to Philadelphia to see the
mint, whose chief engrayer was James
Barton Longacre, who invited them to
his home.
The engraver's daughter, Sarah,
aged 10, greatly enjoyed the visit OF
her fathers guests and during the eve
ming, to please her, one Of the chiefs
took of his feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed 1t on her head. In
the company was an artist, who I'M
mediately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father. Mr. Longacre,
knowing of. the competition for q like
ness to go upon the cent projected,
under the inspiration Of the hour. re-
solved to contend for the prize offered
by the government. To his delight the
officials accepted it, and the face OF
his daughter appeared upon the coin.
which was circulated about the nation
for nearly a century. There were
more than hundred competitions.
The cent bearing the face Of Sarah
.Longacre has gone into more hands
than any other American coin.

Rlue-Jay Ways.

Last spring a pair OF blue Jays
nested N the crotch of a maple just
below my study window. What time
they had Of nest building! The female
insisted on building in crotch below,
while the male thought a crotch hlgner
up afforded more advantageous loca-
cation. They talked and scolded,
building first in one place then in the
other. In the end the female had her
way, and the makeshift bunch OF twigs
and brush was collected. The birds
were silent for weeks, tending strictly
to family cares; the half of which the
male bird assumed without ,murmnr
or complaint. All summer long they
were Silent, but toward fall they joined
their voices with those Of the other
Jays in the neig ighborhood. It was a
new slant on blue jay methods. and
hereafter I;shall regard the birds with
q wee bit more appreciation. Chris

High Speed Steel Without Tungsten

High Speed Steel Without Tungsten.
"a new high speed steel Of British
origin sis without tungsten in its,corn-
position and advantages of both
practical and economical nature are
Claimed. It is cobalt bdenum
lsteei, the cobalt apparently acting as
a stabilizer and as correcting certain
disadvantages said to exist in molyb-
.aenum.tungstea steels. The new steel
is claimed 70 possess the highest point
of efficiency ever obtained. The hard
eening temperature required is only in
the .neighborhood Of z2,0OO degrees
Fahrenheit. The steel is also reported
to machine exceptionally soft and cas-
lily. The specific gravity Of como steel
is reported to be equal to that OF the
Old carbon tool steel, and so, 10 per
cent less than that OF the tungsten
htgh-speed sfeels: AS q result it is
estimated that 3, given weight OF como
steel will produce 10 per cent more
tools than the same weight Of regular
high-speed steel.

Growth Of the Cities.

A Cleveland editor once said that
C,ncinnati's chief business was "pork
and politics." observes Girard in the
Philadelphia Press.
You have been told in advertise
ments a million times that certain
beer "made Milwaukee famous"
Everybody knows that Washington,
D. c., has one big industry-holding
down government jobs.
The new census figures from these
cities, all above 100000, are signif-
cant.
Pork population increased only 10
per cent. in a decade, while beer popu-
lation expanded % per cent. Both
look small compared with the growth
in government job population of 81
per cent.

ness" s.ssssz
There are times when we are almost
led Into believing that this is true.
Equivocal and ambiguous as the state
ment may seem, at the first reading,
it becomes clearer when read over
four or five times. In fact, we don't
know when the proposition has been
stated with more clarity, after one
masters the language in which 1t Is
eouched.
Have you not often read things and
said to yourself: "How often | have
thought that very thing. Why did l
not put it down in imperishable
words?'
r It is so with this. Doubtless, In
your humble way you have often
thought that your WEAKNESS was a
sign of fatigue. At those times you
thought living truth, but did you
write and tell some magazine Of your
priceless discovery? No. You al
lowed somebody TO come along, per-
haps years after, and do it.
The moral is that when you think a
great thought, put it down on paper
at once. Even If you do put it away
somewhere and forget 1t, posteraty
may find Il.
z Now, many times in our career we
have had feelings sof WEAKNESS. Some
Of our friends have been misguided
enough to attribute it to laziness-an
awful word, particularly among
friends. But when we were weary. #
was not laziness that allied US. 1t
was fatigEs.
And we never knew the truth until
we read the magazine article naen-
toned. We have been slandered for
years by wrong idea.-Exchange-

Nature will not reveal her beauty,

No Hioh Cost of Clothing Here.

When a hole is worn in. tapa cloth it
is only necessary to moisten the edges
and beat them together. Tapa cloth
was once woven or pounded into
shape in many parts of the South Sea
islands. It is made Of the barks OF
the banana, breadfruit or mulberry.
The rough outer bark is first scraped
off and the inner fbers are beaten TO-
cetler and allowed to ferment. so
fine is the texture Of the cloth that
one would never imagine it had been
prepared in this crude manner. 1t is
bleaehed to dazzling white color In
