SUNSET GATES AJAR,
_
Tonight, as Isat by my window, When the west was all agleam
With taat strange and wonderful splendor That is fleeting as a dream,
1 thought that the hands of the angels Had flung open heaven's gateway wide,
And } caught a glimpse of the glory from the hills on the other side.
Is it not a beautiful fancy, his sunset thought of mine,
That the gates of heaven are always Fling open at day's decline?
That those whose day is ended Of earthly woes and ills
May pass to the morning sunshine That dwells on the heavenly hills?
Them for me the sunset gateway Shull at day’s decline unclose, And I pass in through its portals To that long and sweet repose.
J know that | shall remember, Ir «hat city so fair and far, My s*range and beautiful fancy
Of the sunset gates ajar.
Perheps while I sat there dreaming 1 Of the gateway in the west
Some poor soul went through its portals To « long and endless rest—
Passel through the sunset gateway To that ‘city paved with gald;”
Passerl into the new life’s gladness Te be no longer old.

A PACIFIC SLOFE Richness of the © w:s0mish Flats In Skagit Tvounpty, Wash.
In this zroat western country, where there is so t.uch wild land, where millions of
sof soil have never felt the touch cf _v plowman’s share or the keen edge of the woodman’s ax, it does not seem that i would be necessary to reclaim land from the sea to obtain acres for cultivation. But that has been done, and in Skagit county, almost in the very northwestern correr of the state, can be found scores of the finest ranches in the world, lying be- hind dikes built to kcep out the sea and the overflows of the Skagit river, the lar- gest stream that empties into tho sound.
This is the veritable Holland of Wash- ington. In Skagit county are situated the faimous Swinomis4 flats, the Beaver marsh, the Olympic marsh and the Samish flate, all surr.unded by dikes ranging in height from 2 to 15 feet. There are tide gates along the seashore which act automatical- ly, and which drain the land so perfectly that crops are raised on land below the sea level with cafety. And such crops!
For ages the big river has been bringing down from the hills the richest sedimens, and there is really no bottom to the soil. If a farmer in the east plows a little too deep, he turns up clay or rocks, If the Beaver marsh rancher holds his plow handles too high, he simply digs up more of the rich loam that raises every year without fail such crops that the old ranchers of other sections cannot believe the stories, One hundred and twenty-five bushels of oats to the acre, a ton and a half of hops or five tons of hay are common yields, while all sorts of root crops give equally large re- sults.
In order to plow this land, which, of course, is soft and spongy, the ranchers often put ‘‘tuley’’ shoes on their horses, the shoes consisting of wide wooden blocks to prevent the animals from sinking inte

There are at present eight diking dis- tricts in the county, and nearly every ranch of any size isin one or ecnother of these districts. Fully 100 miles of dikes
Suicide Among the Cermans.
Another socinl phenonmwnon has been laid at the dcorof the Teutonic race of northern Europe, one which even more than divorce is directly the concomitant of modern intellectual and economic prog- ress. We refer to suicide. Morselli devotes a chapter of his interesting treatise upon this subject to proving that ‘‘the purer the German race—that is to say, the stronger the Germanism (e. g., Teutonism) of a country—the more it reveals in its psych- ical character an extraordinary propensity to self destruction.’’ On the other band, the Slavic peoples seem to him to be rela- tively immune. These conclusions he draws from detailed comparison of the distribution of suicide in the various coun- tries of western Europe, and it must be confessed that be bas collected data for a very plausible case. There can be nodoubt that in Germany the phenomenon culmi- nates in frequency forall Europe, and that it tends to disappear in almost direct pro- portion to the attenuation of the Teutonic racial characteristics elsewhere.— William Z. Ripley in Popular Science Monthly.
A Knotty Problem.
“Why, Ethel, what are you doing with that big medical work in your lap?’’
‘“‘Well, Arabella, you’d never guess, I am quite sure.’’
‘*You are not going to make a doctor of yourself, are you?’’
*‘Not atall. I am trying to find out which of my two suitors I love enough to marry. What do you think of that?’’
‘‘How can a cyclopedia of medicine help you?”
‘*Well, it’s this way. Mr. Oldspoon is 57 years of age. He is worth £80,000 and has consumption. Mr. Dukkats is 65 years eld. He is worth £100,000 and has heart disease. I thought perbaps this medical book would help me to make up my mind. I have about decided that I love Mr. Duk- kats the better. Which would you love?” —Strand Magazine.
Oyster Cocktails.
Oyster cocktails are not quite as dissi- pated as they sound, since no liquor is used in their preparation. T» make them, mix together the juice of half a lemon (strained), 10 drops of tabasco sauce, half teaspoonful of horse radish, half teaspoon- ful of paprika and the same of tomatw cat- sup; put 2 oysters in # glass—Blue Points ere best—and pour in a quarter of the sauce, which is enough for 8 oysters.

are in use in the county, and many of them are used also as roads. Very picture esque are these embankments in many places as they wind around through the trees. When the Skagit is having a freshet, as has been the case this week, the people
| turn out to watch their dikes, and by re-
pairing them save their lands from inun- dation. Sometimes a very high tide will go over a dike and cever a number of ranches with salt water. If the water does not stand too long this does no par- ticular damage.
As there is nothing but sand and black loam to construct the dikes of, no perma- nent work has ever been done and cannot be until the river is so improved that it has a reasonably straight channel to the sea. Five or six forks or moaths discharge the water into the sound, and the delta thut formed is excellent farming land, If the water should be confined to one channel, thousands of acres of land would be re claimed and the danger of overflow re- duced toa minimum. By this improve- ment a magnificent navigable river, teem- ing with fish and fowing through a wealth of timber end mineral land, weuid be opened up and would provide employment for countless numbers of people.—Seattie Post Intelligencer.
