Great variety of Articles Found By the Beachcombers. After allowing holiday makers several weeks in w.hich to loose their valuables the modern beachcomber has emerged with mystic rod and high hopes for his harvest of the sands, says a London letter to the New York Sun. Within the last few days the beachcombers have made their appearance at most of the resorts around the coast, but, nowhere is he more in evidence than at Yarmouth. In the early morning and evening when the tide if out a few may always be seen taking diligently among the loose pebbles or soft sand for the trink-and valuables which trippers had lost. One beachcomber at Yarmouth has gone out night and morning for the last twenty years and seldom returns home empty handed.

His house is full of small treasures which he has picked up, and among his finds are all sorts of trinkets from a cannon ball to a diamond ring which had evidently slipped from the finger of a lady who was betrothed. Tons of hairpins are turned over by the beachcombers at every coast town, scores of garters, which children and "grownups" have lost when they indulged in paddling are recovered and even single boots and stockings are common finds. It is a.n interesting problem whether the losers of boots and. stockings went home with bare feet, but it Is evident that they did not intend to leave their apparel behind them, for most of the goods are comparatively new. There is a story told of a lady who one year lost her watch on the sands at Yarmouth, and though she made all inquiries, she failed to trace it.

The police promised to help. But it was not until the following year that she came across the lost timekeeper. She saw it in a pawnbroker's office. At some of the Scottish resorts beachcombing is yet in its infancy, but it is nn art which is quickly learned. One morning's haul at an Ayshire town recently included a set of false teeth, a pair of field glasses, a baby's rattle, a gold wedding ring, three single stockings and two bathing costumes.

Obviously the owners of the latter had walked off after the bah leaving their costumes on the sand, but it is hard to imagine how the owner of the false teeth came to leave his property on the beach. Few valuable watches are ever found most of them being silver chronometers, but there is a case on record of a gold watch worth being picked up on the south coast resort. The finder in this case took the watch to the authorities, and after a time it was returned to its owner. Coins are often discovered among the general debris, as are also pocket knives and handerchiefs galore, while children's toys always for a large proportion of the harvest of the sands. Even the oldest searchers however, believe that despite their expert there are many valuables which remain imbedded in the beach and are passed over.

"It is not a stick one needs to prod the sand, is the maxim of one. "what is really needed for a thorough search 4s a small toothed comb," A DEALER IN OCEANS. "4 said the old salt, taking' a fresh chew, "I make a Uvin' by sellin' sea water. I sell it not only to sojourners here to Nahant, but I sell it to folks in Bosting and Noo York and Philadelphy. "Everybody believes in the virtues of sea water, and the sea water trade has improved tremenjous ever since the doctors took to injectin' the stuff inter lue blood, for that's a proof, a fine proof, of sea water's power.

"Some of my customers drink it. Most of 'em bathes in it. They're all crotchety and partlekler. Some must have only the water from the lncomin' mornin' tide. Others '111 only have it drawn with the sun a-shinin' on it.

Others still want It scooped from certain hollers, where they think there's more iodine or salt In It." Exchange. CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, Room No. 4, City and County Hall, Buffalo, Oct. 7, 1U13.

ABSTRACT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT NUMBER THREK At the said General Election there also to be submitted to the people for approval, the following proposed amendment to Section Fourteen of Article Six of tha Constitution, hereinafter designated as Amendment Number Three, providing tor an Increase of two in tho nnmH w.nn I judges in King connty; also providing that the Legislature may increase the Bomber ot If the woman, looking over the new fall models in the department stores and the ready-to-wear shops and trace a particular gown from the show-window, where it first challenges her interest, back its origin in a Parisian ateliar, she would be thrice-armed for the discussions that inevitably will rage about it when the ((own becomes her own.

Women's wear is the subject of more discussion in the United States today than any other topic. Tariff and currency reform, the stock market and the cost of living, equal suffrage and the new danees all have but a minor whare in the flood of spoken and written language that centers in the vortex of the prevailing fashions- The fashions come from Paris. In the minds of many Americans that is the worst thing that can be said about them. The movement for American fashions for American women already has attained the proportions of a hardy revolution, but as yet the citadel of the Parisian made holds out against the siege. That citadel is the ready-to-wear garment manufacturing industry.

Dressmakers in increasing number, even tailors, are preferring American modes. The women who makes her dress for obvious reasons never has been a slave of Paris. It may be that she attempted much, but it was beyond her power to achieve. But the ready-to-wear garment maker, in the furious competition of his rapidly expanding trade circles, must cling to Paris in self-defense. Now to trace the gown in.

the shop-window: A Parisian designer ransacks the whole history of costume for ideas. He studies the old masters. lie knows more of the sculpture than the sculp-turer. He is at once nn antiquarian and a historian, lje is a journalist, too, for he receives inspiration from current events the world around. Witness last year the Itulgariaii mode, with its barbaric colors and loose lines.

Witness this, year (he use of the some colors, softened and toned down by drafts upon Chinese and Turkish traditions. The war in the Balkans and the republican revolution in China had the direct result within a twelve-month of (hanging the costume of every high school girl in the United States. This because the Parisian designer is a despot. His sway is absolute, and millions of American women wenr what he tells them to wear, without questioning. Kepresentatives of American garment makers and buyers from American stores crowd into The Kush Of Paris on the eve Buyers to Paris.

tho appointed season when the designers will release his new creations. They go not as free customers to a free market. Doors do not swing open at their approach.
