As a rule they are not appointed to the care of lights of the first import ance, because the work would be too arduous; but wherever they have been put they have done. their duty' most satisfactorily. The Boston Herald tells 'of many notable feats of heroism per formed by women lighthouse-keepers. ' On Lake Michigan, at the north end of Milwaukee Bay, stands a tall red tower; -which is under the -charge of Mrs. Georgia Stebbins. Its light Is one hundred and twenty-two feet above the water, and may be seen for twenty miles. Ten years ago there was a frightful storm, and three menf upset from a sailboat, were ' in imminent danger of drowning. Mrs.'."Ste15bins went to their assistance, and rescued them at the risk of her own life. . Twenty-five miles out in the ocean, in the pathway of the Steamers, from Boston to Halifax, is a barren and rugged island of small area,' which In stormy weather is often swept by the waves. It is called Matinicus Rock, and the lighthouse was formerly kept by a man named Sam Burgess. On one occasion, In winter, he had gone away to the mainland to procure provisions, when the weather turned bad and prevented him from returning. Meanwhile his wife, who was an in valid, and her four daughters lived for three weeks on one cup of corn- meal and one egg a piece per day. The se swept everything off the rock, driving the family to the light-towers; yet the lights during all that dreadful period were as carefully tended as usual, and never failed. The wife of a lighthouse-keeper oft en acts as his assistant, and performs all his duties when he happens to be away. Thus It chanced that once, during a. storm, Mrs. Fowler, whose husband had charge of North Dumpling light, on the Rhode Island coast, found herself in serious trouble. There was a thick fog, and the machine for ring ing the fog-bell broke. It was an ac cident that might have cost many lives and more than one ship; but the woman was equal to the occasion. Scaling the outside of the tower, she fastened a rope to the bell, and rang it until the weather cleared. ' BACK TO THE FARM. Maine Newspaper Man See a Tarn in the Tide Toward the Country. One of the most serious problems that confronts the economic world to day' is to keep the young men on the farms. For many years there has been a tendency to congregate in the cities, and to such an extent has this been carried that all the vocations of city life have- been so overcrowded that to-day It is well-nigh impossible for a stranger to get a foothold. For every situation there are a score of applicants, and the young" man who has no Influential friends to render him aid is indeed unfortunate. We have long believed that this condition of affairs would correct itself. One of the reasons that our young men haje been so'Willing to leave the old coun try home has been the lack of country attractions. This can hardly be said to hold good to-day. The trolley car, telephone and free rural mail delivery have well-nigh wiped out the distinc tions between city and suburban life. Another powerful factor now working for the upbuilding -of the country life Is the agricultural college. Our young men are fast learning that farming is no longer the haphazard business of a former day, but Is one of the most exacting and scientific of pursuits. With this knowledge comes a higher re spect for the vocation and a stronger desire to enter the industry. The tide is thus gradually but surely turning, and the time is near at hand when farming will be held in the same high regard here that it has long been in England.' In that country when - a man achieves financial success he at once seeks a country estate for a home. Here the reverse has long held true, and the city home has been held up as the ideal. This false system of ethics is rapidly going to the wall and a more exalted idea of country life is taking its place. Rich and poor alike are beginning to take to the farm. It Is the ideal spot for a home. Lewis ton Journal. Consumption In Schools.

New Jersey street, Indianapolis, Ind., -writes: " "I think I must have been troubled with catarrh ever since I was very young, aggravated each time I. caught a cold. This did not prove sufficiently serious to be ob noxious until last winter. Then my head and nose were so stopped tip that I felt I must do something. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend. I used it for four weeks, and found to my relief that it cured me. I have not had a bit of trouble since. My head is clear, and I can safely affirm that Peruna cured Me." Miss Flora Hauser. Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na of Annoying Catarrh. Dr Hartman has probably done more than any other physician toward DODularizinK a means of escape from J&VSJSZ dry cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects of catarrh. He has made chronic catarrh a life long study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or wo man, boy or girl, within the bounds or the United States that has not heard of Peruna. By far the largest major ity have used Peruna. The multitude of people that have The record for a sailing vessel is 325 miles in a day; that of a steamer 560 miles. wniiv)TiscowiN6 Every Catarrh sufferer dreads the coming of winter, for with the first breath of the "ice-king" this miserable disease is fanned into life and all the' disgusting symptoms return. The nostrils are stopped up and the throat can be kept clear of mucous secretions only by continual hawking and spitting. Catarrh is a nuisance and source, of annoyance, not only to the one who has it, tut everybody else. The thick, yellow discharge from the head produces a feeling of personal defilement, and the odor of the breath is almost intolerable. The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles and affects the Kid neys and Bladder. It attacks the soft bones and tissues of the head and throat, causing total or partial deafness, the loss of smell, and giv ing to- the voice a rasping, nasal twang. No part of the body is secure from its ravages. Catarrh makes you sick all over, for it is a dis ease of the blood, and circulates all through the system, . and for this reason, sprays, washes, inhalers, powders and salves have proven failures. The way to cure Catarrh thor oughly and permanently is to cleanse the blood of the unhealthy secretions that keep the membranes of the body inflamed, and nothing does this so sorely and promptly as S. S. S. As loner as the blood is Doisoned with Catarrhal matter the discharge of mucus and other disgusting symptoms of the miserable disease will continue. S. S.
