CAPE HATTERAS.
The Shifting Sands and Point of Thi?
Isolated Place.
There are few names more widely
known In the United States or locali
ties 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 Flenry
south turns at a right angle to the
westward, 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 Inlets from sound to ocean, its po
sition Is Isolated. No means of trans
portation exist along the beach, ftnd
with the nearest railway station from
which a regular transportation route
Is operated nearly a hundred miles
sway it Is an easier place to talk
about than to visit.
Like all sand promontories, the point
of the cape Is always moving. An old
wreck Imbedded deep In the sand and
showing only the stninps of her masts
and bowsprit and the rusty skeletons
of what were once her chain plates
and dead eyes Is now a quarter of a
l mile or more Inland. Twenty years
a go she Is said to have lain In the
! water, where she struck or drifted
ashore, the laud now outside of her
having been built up since by the ac
tion of the wind and the waves.
Two features connected with the
sailing of the Ashing skiffs used here
abouts are new to me. One Is that of
using a member of the crew as shift
ing ballast. A plank Is run out over
the side, the Inner end caught under
the lee washboards, while on the outer
end, with legs dangling over the water,
sits the man acting as ballast, and
this not in racing, mltul you, but In
every day sailing. The other is the
practice of "nodding." as 1 heard It
called. In moderate weather, when the
ski (T Is only lightly gliding along, one
man will stand up alongside the cen- j
terboard 011 the weather side and, fac- '
ing outward, will steadily rock side- |
wise from one foot to the other with j
faster. And perhaps It does.? Char- j
lotte Observer.
The Red Sea.
Ill the Red sc:i roofs of bright pink
coral aro clearly to lie seen. Much of
the rocky bed of this sea is the work
of the coral insect. But probably the
true reason for the natne of the Bed
sea Is because along Its eastern shore
lies ancient Edom. This \vor<l slgnllles
"ro<l." It was Riven to the region not
from the color of its sandstone hills,
but from its people. These are the
descendants of him who came in faint
and weary from hunting and said to
his brother, "Feed me, 1 pray thee,
with that same red pottage, for I am
faint;" therefore was his name called
j Edom.
Only a Man.
Little Mnriel flow into tht\ house
flushed and breathless.
"Oh, mother." she cried, "don't scold
me for being late to tea, for I've had
such a disappointment! A horse fell
down, and they said that they were
going to send for a horse doctor, so of
course 1 had to stay. And after I'd
watted and waited he came, and, oh,
mother, what do you think? It wasn't
a horse doctor at all. It was only a
man!"? Everybody's Magazine.
A Concise Explanation.
"How does that man always manage
to appear as the leader of you people?"
"I suppose," auswered Farmer Corn
tossel, "that It's simply l>ecauso he's
smart enough to get ahead of us."?

Ths Caui? of the Deity.
English la fill I of pitfalls for the for
tifier who wrestles with It, and the
Inuguuge gets some severo Jolts at
times, as this anecdote from India
shows. The story Is to the effect that
when a battalion of toe Middlesex' n?
luient was ordarafl -to 'take part la a
J receut ceremonial parade at Delhi the
commanding officer determined to refit
it with new boots. He accordingly
telegraphed to a Calcutta firm:
"Send 1,000 pairs of boots for Mid
dlesex by next train."
Days passed, and no boots arrived.
The colonel's antlety tnerea??M>c<Tirly.
Just when he had become almost fran
tic the Bnbu manager In Calcutta sent
hint this telegram:
"Order received, but not compre
hended. Male sex I know; ditto fe
male sex; middle sex, however, not
known. Please send specimen."
WHAT THE KIDNEYS 00
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Ue
Strong and Healthy.
All tho blood In the body passu
through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nlgt and day. Wheai
healthy they remove about 500 grain*
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this Impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
grave], disorders of the eyesight and
bearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yeeler Way,
Seattle, Wash., saya: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by Irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."

There Is more Catarrh In this sec |
tlon of the country than all other dts
cases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be In
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con |
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it Incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
