XortWn»t Gale filed Ip «»»e Said and Created n \alualile An eheraice for the CoMt Shipping. Years afo Marshfield, situated on Cape Cod bay, atx>ut half way between Cohasset and Plymouth, was a bus tling- little coast town, and was in fact one of the shipbuilding- towns of note }n the country's earliest history. The famous trading- brig Columbia, after which the Columbia river was named, was built here, as were also several ves sels used as privateers in the war of ISI2. If it had been allowed to work out its own destiny, Marshfield might even now be a thriving town like Es which is known for its honest and thorough ship-building wherever the fishermen of New England guide their restless keels. But nature intervened, and walled the town up in a prison, the like of which may be seen at many places on sandy Cape Cod. Originally the mouth of the river was at a point nearly opposite the town, but gradually, as the soil washed down by the river and the sand worked up by the seat met, a bar formed extend ing from the north side of the river s mouth across it, thus stopping the swift, direct flow which had always kept the channel free and clear, lhen the river turned south, and the sandbar followed it, growing in size as the How of the river decreased, until it had Ijecome a good-sized promontory jnslde of which the river flowed, with an outlet far to the southward of the original one opposite the town. Being turned out of its regular channel in this way, the river also broadened and shal lowed. The current slackened, and the deposits carried down by it were dropped inside, instead of outside, the mouth, while throughout the little roadstead inside the old mouth islets formed, so that there were few good places for a boat to lie, even if any thing more than the shoalest draught could have got in over the bars at the mouth. So Marshfield remained behind its barrier of sand and peat until the night of November 26, when the big storm set in. All night long tho lierce north east gale piled the water up against the outside of the promontory, and on the following day, in conjunction with the gale, came one of the highest tides of the year. The water rose until at length it broke clear over a low place In the promontory, between what are known as third and fourth cliffs, and swept up into the river with all the* power of the high tide and hurricane at its back. The river was filled until the water rose over the bridge aud up into the street at Marshfield, and hun dreds of acres of the big marshes ly ing to the southeast of the town, and from which it takes its name, were covered several feet with water. When all this immense body of water started on its return to the sea with the falling tide, it was impossible for It to get out quickly enough by the shallow and devious way through the mouth of the river, so it went out in the way most of it had come in, by the break made by the sea over the promontory, and the scouring of this strong tide undid in a single night the work of many years. When the Marshfield folk visited the place the next day they found, where there had been solid ground 48 hours before, a clean-cut channel, 250 feet wide and 13 feet deci> for its full width, through which the tide ran like a millrace, while in the older mouth of the river there was hardly and movement. For a mile or more outside of the cut the water was discolored by the dirt and refuse which were being carried out by the current, and even then it was evident the bars and islets which had filled the harbor were being washed away. The work that begun then has been going steadily on ever since. Many of the little islets which had formed in the harbor have entirely disappeared, and others are growing smaller every day. There Is a straight, free entrance to the sea, which is in a more direct line with the flow of the river than even the old mouth of years ago, and through which a good-sized vessel can enter at any stage of the tide. Inside of it is a harbor large enough for quite a fieet to anchor, with good holding gn ■ ! and from 30 to 40 feet of water in t places, while the rush of the tide appears to be deepening both chan nel and. roadstead. If matters continue as favorably as they have begun, the harbor thus strangely created will be a very val uable one, not only to Marshfield itself, but to our coast shipping, and even more to our yachtsmen. Up to now there haa not been a single good harbor on the south shore, as the outer harbor of Plymouth is not a safe anchorage for small craft, and the inner harbor can be gained onty by a skilled pilot. Between Plymouth aud Hull there are only Scituate and Coliasset. Both of these are shoal, and the latter is with out sufficient protection from a north east gale.—Boston Transcript. Lard Sauce. This is a delicious cold sauce to serve with hot puddings, notably apple pud dings and tarts and all boiled suet pud dings: One white of egg, four ounces fresh butter, two ounces powdered sugar, one-balf teaspoonful of vanilla or four teaspoonfuls brandy. Beat the butter till it looks like whipped cream. It must be quite soft. Mix in the sugar and beat again. Whisk the whiteof egg till it is a stiff froth: add to the butter, and beat again till light and frothy. Add the vanilu or brandy gently.

Under the Mime in fluence eggs. will burst, apples contract and potatoes turn black. The utilization of grain elevator waste for sheep and cattle food has given rise to a new industry in the northwest. The waste brings seven dol lars a ton. The whirling winds of Arabia some times excavate sand pits to the depth of 2,000 feet, the rim usually being three times that depth in diameter. A sand pit thus made may be entirely obliter ated in a few hours, and another exca vation within a short distance of it. The Lick observatory has done won ders in photographing nebulae, the sun and its corona. The party from this observatory was most successful in its observation of the sun's eclipse in India last. January. It was ascertained clear ly that the sun spots are due to solar activitv. and that the earth only :nter- cepts one-half a millionth part of the heat radiated by the sun. Steel rails now figure as the cheapest finished product in wrought iron or steel. A good lesson in the finances of modern industry is also afforded by them. To establish a steel tail works, an expenditure of $3,000,000 is required before a lingle rail can be turned out. The steel is made to conform to an accu rate chemical composition —the most accurate in the ordinary range of tech nical operations. Mushroom juice is a sure cure against snake poison, according to M. Phisalix's statement before the Paris Academie des Sciences. He has found that all mushrooms possess a substance which acts as an antitoxin against ser pents. Unfortunately his preparation possesses toxic qualities of its own, which he has been unable to eliminate entirely. The patient, however, wiTl have the satisfaction of knowing that it is not from snakebite that he dies. STORIES FOR CHILDREN. There Should lie Variety, But the Oil Favorite, Hear Frequent Repetition. When one speaks of telling stories to the little people, prose narratives seem to be commonly understood, and as commonly used, but there is no mistake greater than to suppose that children are not susceptible to the charms of poetry. They care more for poetry, on the contrary, than the majority of grown people, whether for the melody, the rhythm, the rhymes, the short lines, the simplicity and picturesqueness of expression, or for all these reasons to gether, which makes it a thing pleas antly different from common speech. Goethe advised that every child should see a pretty picture and hear a beauti ful poem everj* day, and if we would not banish the charm of poetry from mature life it behooves us to follow his advice and subject the child to its in fluence at the time of greatest suscepti bility. We must beware, however, of giving a one-sided development by confining ourselves too much to one branch of literature; we must include in our repertory some well-selected myths, fairy stories which are pure and spirit ual iu tone, and a fable now and then. Nature stories, hero tales, animal anec dotes, occasional narratives about good, wholesome children, neither prigs nor infant villains, plenty of fine poetry, as has been said, and, for the older ones of the family, legends, alle gories and historic happenings. A large stock of stories is not essential for little children. They feel, as Bul wer said, the beauty and the holiness that dwell in the customary and the old; and they are well pleased—and it is best that ft should be so —with hear ing the same old favorites repeated again and again, in song or in story, from their mothers' lips.—Nora Archi bald Smith, in Ladies' Home Journal. IRON IN EGGS. An Intfcnlou* Feed* It to III* Hen*—Medicine In Hen Krnlt. There is scarcely any branch iu which medicine has not advanced in the last <2O years, but in no one branch has more improvement been shown than in the compounding and putting together of drugs. No more is the unwilling pa tient made to swallow large doses of nauseating medicine, for sugar-coated pills, capsules and wafers have come into use, and patients can now take the most vile-tasting medicines without any discomfort. Xow comes along a Frenchman with a still more ingenious plan which opens up to pharmacy un bounded possibilities of going still fur ther ahead. On account of the difficulty of as similating iron as a medicine, a French druggist has sought to intro duce it in a digestible way by what he terms ferruginous eggs. Hens can digpest iron easily, while rendering it back through the albumen of their eggs in a form that is easily di gested by the weaker stomachs of man kind. A salt of iron is given to the hens with grains of wheat. A dozen of these medicated grains of wheat a day makes the hens, after three or four days, lay eggs which are very rich in iron already digested. The Frenchman is experimenting further with other drugs, and it is not without the bounds of possibility that we shall shortly be able to take all our medicine in the form of eggs.—New Or leans Times-Democrat.
