0.0 MAO FROM MONOTONY.
Lighthouse-Keeper Often Huffer Vrom
the Inevitable IeoUtlou,
People who read book and nil do
In UiU day will recall Kipling's story
of the lonoly llghtkeenor who became
mad from the monotony of hla situa
tion. While the story was Action, It
nevertheless was In accordance with
many actual occurrences. A corro
apondent submittal the question to tho
ItghthouAo board nnd found Mint, whllo
there hud been no mich cases as that
of KIplliiK's character, Dowxe, thero
had been many which xhowed tho mad
dening effect of monotony nnd Isolation
upon tho human mind.
Tho madness of tho lighthouse Is
much like that of tho desert, for they
nro traceable to a like cause. In tho
desert there Is monotony of silence. At
sou there la monotony of sound, One
Is as bad us the other, sluco loth de
rive their entire pain from mental ef
fect. It Is u fenrful disease, not yet
fully understood, though many noted
alienists havo mado n fcttidy of It.
This government maintains l.MM
lighthouses, and about 100 of them
are Isolated, and communication with
tho outaldo world may bo Interrupted
sometimes for months,
If a man Is taken from tho ordinary
.walks of life, where hu mingles with
tils fellow mun, and sent to a light
house where no human faco Is seen
except that of tho ever-present assist
ant and so uound Is beard save the
roaring of the wind and wave, ho has
been transferred from normal to most
abnormal conditions,
Jn a remarkably abort tlmo keeper
tuid assistant tare talked out, Thcu
they bcgln to wear on each other, and
soon they fall to quarreling. Some
times melancholia attacks ono of them,
and unloss ho Is speedily relieved his
mental balance is disturbed. When
the disturbance becomes extreme it
takes either a homicidal or suicidal
turn, and tho unfortunate has to be
watched closely and sometimes con
fined, to keep him from doing violence
to himself or others.
It Is well known that the MInot
Lodge light Is noted for tho number
of men who have gone crnzy In It, and
for that reason Is an object of Inter
est to students of mental diseases. It
Is, as ovorybody knows, a piece of en
gineering of tho very highest order,
being In that respect second only to
tho famous Eddystono light
Moro than a year was consumed in
getting a foundation for It, and so high
nro tho tides and so terrific tho storms
that tho cntrnncc to the. light is more
than forty feet nlwvo tho water. Then,

rooms occupied by tho keepers and
used for storago purposes, then the
watchroom, and finally tho lantern.
Tho tower, being circular and npac
greatly In demand, naturally every
thing Is mado to conform, so that no
room shall be lost. Even tho beds on
which tho men sleep aro curved. Ev
erything Is round. The government
has done the best It could to mnko life
thero as learablo as possible, and
keeps five men stationed there, so that
they may go ashoro os often as tho
chanco Is afforded without detriment
to the service. Indianapolis Sentinel.
MEANING OF "SHODDY."
Not Ho Much Munlpulatlon of Fabrics
Now n a Formerly.
"I would like you to tell me Just
what Is meant by tho term 'shoddy' as
applied to cloth used in clothing," said
tho young man who was looking for
clothing in tho storo of a well-informed
clothier. "I havo heard of 'shoddy" all
my life, and I do not Just understand
exactly what Is meant by It"
"Well," ropeated tho clothier, 'shod
dy' Is used In tho construction of many
fabrics which go Into tho manufacture
of clothing for both men and women.
It Is so skillfully combined In recent
years that It Is not possible for any
but an exnert to detect it until tho
goods aro worn to somo extont 'Shod
dy cloths aro mado from cheap yarns
spun over cotton warp. Theso yams
aro spun from woolen rags chopped
Into waste, then carded and spun into
thread of various sires nnd strength.
Tho cloth Is soft, nlcoly finished, 'and
nttroctlvo In nppearanco, and compar
atively frco from Imperfections. Tho
goods cost tho clothier from 16 to HO
cents a yard, and a larger yardago li
consumed than of any other kind of
goods manufactured for men's wear.
"For tho last fow years thero bun
not been as much manipulation of fab
rics as formerly, owing to the reason
ableness of tbo prices for wool, but
quite- recently clothing wools have ad
vanced to such a level that manufac
turers havo been forced to resort to
tho uso of substitutes In ofller to pro
duce a cloth that will meet the popular
demand. Ouo of tho advantages of tho
shoddy Is that It can bo wov'en Into
pattern similar to thoso of tbo most
expcnslvo woolens, which Is not al
ways truo with respect to pure cotton
yarn, which hying hnrd nnd wiry does
not neld Itself to soft effects. Utlea
Observer.
18 YOUR CLOCK SET FA8T?
l'leueaui Deception that Is Very Com
uion in Households.
It la n common thing to find tho
clocks In nlno out of ten households
cither fifteen minutes or hnlf an hour
fast, and should you happon to be In
a hurry or mention the fact that you
havo to be going, you aro at onco reas
sured by Uie fact that you havo no
causo to hurry, as tho clock Is so much
ahead of tho tlmo.
Has It over occurred to you why
clocks aro usually put ahead? Somo
physicians have said It Is due to lazi
ness, for It Is such a sntlHfnctlon to the
buy man to tlnd when ho has to get
up ut 7 In the morning, nnd strains his
half-closed eyes to look at the clock,
that It Is a half hour fast nnd ho has
so much mora time to doze, with tho
result that he oversleeps himself any
how, and iuIshch his train or boat.
Raid a Walnut street watchmaker,
when asked about the subject: "Yes,
It Is a peculiar tiling with most people
to put their clocks fast, nnd, while
thero may be somo satisfaction lu It
when It comes to dozing a llttlo longer,
thoro Is really no ndvantago in It, for
when you wako up, say, at 0 and
glance at the' clock and It registers
0:80, tho fact remains that It Is a half
hour fast. While this may make you
foel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to dote; I confess
I don't see much advantage In it.
"Why not havo tho clock right? It
is the same thing In the end.
"Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think pcoplo would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast Is really only a
pleasant form of deception which peo
ple like to practice on themselves, but
It does more harm than good." ICau
