Arduous Duty, Demanding Extreme 6elf.8acrlflce, Cheerfully Per formed—Examples of Bravery That Are Without Equal. Although the pay I b «mall and the life often lonely, the lighthouse serv ice attracts as a rulo an excellent class of faithful men, willing to take large risks In doing their duty and also In helping those In distress. There sre many cases of faithful service and bravery. There are a number of woman light keepers. One of these, the keeper of Angel Island light In Han Francisco bay. reported that after the machin ery of the fog signal waa disabled on July 2, 1906, she "had struck the bell by hand for 20 hours and 35 minutes until the fog lifted," and that on July 4, when the machinery was further disabled, she stood all night on the platform outside and “struck the bell with a nail hammer with all my might. The fog wax dense.” A widely known woman lightkeeper was Ida Lewis, who died about three years ago. She lived at Lime Rock lighthouse, on a ledge In Newport har bor, for 67 years, her father having been appointed keeper when she was twelve years old. She was keeper of the light for 32 years. There are re ports of her having rescued 13 per sons from drowning On one occarlon It Is said, she saved three men who were swamped In attempting to pick up a sheep, and then she rescued the sheep also. Because of the difficult life, keepers at Isolated stations are granted shore liberty end leave 72 days a year, and crews of light vessels SO days a year. The first lighthouse on this conti nent was built by Massachusetts, tn 1715-1716, on an Island In the en trance to Boston harbor, Tho first class light and fog signal stations are located at the more prom inent and dangerous points along the seaboard, and on a well lighted coast such stations should be sufficiently close that a coasting vessel may al ways be In sight of n light The smaller lights are placed to mark har bors, Inside channels and dangers. Along the navigable rivers numerous post lights are maintained to Indicate the channels. For New York harbor and Immedi ate approaches alone 266 aids to navi gation are required. Including 46 shore lights, two light vessels and 36 lighted buoys; there are 192 buoys of all classes and 37 fog signals, Including sounding buoys. Among the lighthouses of the coun try may be found examples of great engineering skill and of dignified and simple design. Some of the tall light house structures are of beautiful architecture, aulted to the purpose, and set off by picturesque location on headland or rock overlooking the sea The tower must be built to give the light a suitable height above the wa OF APHORISMS AMERICAN HAB GATHERED SEN TENCES THAT ARE ALIVE CAP Have Epigrammatic Quality Surpris ingly High—For Instance, “Never a Great Saint That Lacked a Sense of Humor." The successful aphori.t Is about ten thousand times scarcer than the successful essayist or story teller or Assyrlologlst, remarks the New York Hun. The men who without borrow ing directly from the few really great maxim makers of the world's litera ture, or without appropriating the letter or the spirit of those folk proverbs which contain the quint essence of human wisdom, can put In to eight hitherto uncombined words the entire pathology of human hypoc risy and cant merits especial notice and more or less gratitude of man kind: "In the truly good all gout la rheu matism." We commend to the discerning everywhere the small and perhaps not very happily named book, "Keystones of Thought," in which Dr. Austin O'Malley of Pennsylvania has gath ered from fifteen hundred to two thousand of these "conclusions which spare you the labor of tramping in moist relentment thought's syllogis tic mazes." This small army of aphor isms are not all so good a« those which we now proceed to exhibit as examples: but the average of epi grammatic quality I b surprisingly high: Autumn is a hint from God to Old Ago. A fallen lighthouse Is more dan gerous than a reef. We are plated with piety, not al loyed with it. Style Is not the setting of the dia mond thought; it Is the glitter itself of the diamond. Atheism Is n disease of the mind caused by eating underdone philoso phy It Is a long snake that has no tail. If you snub conscience a few times she will cut your acquaintance. Memory Is a crazy woman that hoards colored rags and throws away food Writers on the spiritual life are constantly mistaking the liver for the devil. Possess your soul without fussing; your guardian angel does not lose half the sleep over you you think he does. It Is as easy to give advice to your self sb to others, and as useless. Cunning Is a short blanket; If you pull It over yuiii ft-.ce you expose your feet. Tie new Is what has been forgot ten. In holding an eel a gentle grip Is foolishness. Distance lends amity to cousins. The most dangerous savages live in cities. What Is called a weak will Is com monly a flabby intellect There never was a great saint that lacked a sense of humor. A gentleman never heard a story before. Many social visits you think paid to yourself are paid to your bottles. Most women wear their looks like trousers. A college can bluff like any pokor player. Humor without effort, wit without bitterness, philosophy without preten sion; Doctor O'Malley has printed a book that Is worth possessing. Lights From the Drug Store. Tho general darkening of the lights of Ix>ndon has nearly quenched the rich glow from chemists' windows that used to appeal so strongly to one of Robert Louis Stevenson's friends. "Walter Ferrier," records Stevenson, "had a romantic affection for all phar macies, and the bottles in the window were for him a pooni. He said once that he knew no pleasure like driving through a lamp-lit city waiting for the chepilsts to go by.” The reigning sultan of Morocco ap parently possesses similar tastes. When Muley Yussef last visited Cas ablanca he departed with an assort ment of green, blue and red Jars, pur chased from chemists. These caught his eye as he passed through the ter, and hence tall lighthouses are re streets, and were promptly purchased to adorn his residence.—Fall Mall Ga quired on low-lying coasts.

He asked a clerk to place an assortment of the belts on the counter. "Ladles’ belt?" queried the polite salesman. "Certainly, sir; what size?" The young man blushed. ‘‘Really,’’ he stammered. “I don't know.” And he gazed about him helplessly for a moment or so.
