.!IGHThOUaEiHEJROItJE&Ji:
Women in These Isolated Place Fra-
qnently Show Great' Conrage,
The history . of the lighthouse ser
vice shows that women are thorough
ly reliable and efficient as' light-keepers.
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

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
