Why not? Should the government be ex- cused for any act of folly, because it has been delegating to a commission the duty which it should perform ? The government is responsible to the legislature and the legislature is ro- sponsible to the people. Who are the commission amenable to? . This mining deal does not improve in appearance by the new light which is shed upon it. The government, Through the wouth of Mr. Whitney, gave it out that it was not chasing down concessionaires.

"There is no reason why a practical edupationist should not take the rate payers into consideration in making] his plans for the education of the ratepayers' children," says the Spec- tator. Surely it is not supposed for a moment that the master of his buginess must accept the advice of those who cannot know mich about! it, and so advertise himseli as lack- ing in all the qualifications for high office. If the peculiar circumstances of the case in Hamilton called for some com- promise ir public service Dr. Seath should not have been given the job.'

D. \ Big Reductions. On sumer hats at Campbell Bros. AY, JULY 28, National Geographic Magazine. 3 The prevailing winds from a little. west of south ve vigipled the heteto- geneous sands atteras just sou of the Cape, on Shackleford at its south-yést extremity, and on the south-west side of Smith's Island. These wind ripples, started in sands forest near the shore, have grown in' size to great sand waves, which are advancing on forests, fields and homes. As vanced it has taken np several fect of the loose soil over which it has pass- od, undermining houses, laying bare the roots of trees and exposing the bones of the dead in cemeteries. Diurnal winds from the sea have piled the sands into small wandering dunes and hillocks, and even some- times into sand waves, which are marching steadily inwards and shoal ing the waters of the sounds. At Nag's Head a large hotel, constita- ting a solid obstruction, soon had a sand wave built up a short distance in its rear until the level of its roof was reached, Ww! the wave moved forward and engulfed the hotel. In the immediate neighborhood two cot- tages suffered a similar fate. Here the land gained on the sound 350 feet in ten years. On the northern end of Hatteras Is- land a fishing village had been simil- arly buried, while the sand has en- tively . crossed . the island at" several places north of the cape. This move- ment of the sand was started just after the civil war by 'the cutting of trees next to the shore for shop tim- bers, and the section is still known as the Great Woods, though not a stick of timber stands upon it today. Pamlico Sound, for two miles from the Hatteras shore, is growing stead- ily shallower from the deposit of blown sand. On Smith's Island a pilots' village has been buried beneath the sand wave for a number of years, but this has been quite recently resurrected and its houses are again ocoupied. On Cunrrituck, below" Cafiey's Inlet live saving station, the sand has ad- vanced entirely across the land, and one man, moving before the advancing sand, has at last built his house on piles in the sound. CHANGE IN EVENING DRESS. Will Presently Be Got Up Like Footmen. ' London, July 28.--It seems that the long-talked-of change in men's evening dress is about to be realized. High- class tailors in the West End are al- ready making new samples. During the coming season the coat will be of klue cloth, with a velvet collar and silk facings brought to the edge of the lapel. Trousers or knee breeches will be optional. They will Be of black cloth. Trousers will sometimes have two rows of braid on the side seam. The entire outfit will be similar to the evening dress recently prescribed for gentlemen. of the king's household. This specification includes gilt but- tons. On 'the whole it looks as if the momentous result will be the garbing of men as footmen instead of waiters. Cuban Campaigner Dead. St. Catharines, July 28. Thomas Clarke, of Washington, D.C., died, Tuesday. Deceased had served in the United States militia for thirty years. During the Cuban campaign he was sent to drill the voung men for battle. He was a brother of the Jate John Clarke, Merritton. His last re- quest was to see his nephew, John Clarke, Jr., Merritton, and that gentleman leit at once for Washing- ton. The deceased was fifty-eight years of age. He will be much missed hy the United States Marine Corps, with which he was identified. 'Twas The Cheese. F.
