Lighthouse TerrOrS.

If those on shore are awed by the terrible
violence of the winds and waves during a
tempest what must be the experiences of
men who live in a building exposed to the
full fury Of the heavy ocean breakers!
When we look at lighthouse in calm
weather, it is almost impossible to realize
that the sea sometimes breaks over the Ian
tern. Such is, however,. frequently the case,
and an instance Of this occurred not long
afer the completion of the Bishops Rock
Light, which is erected on a rock beyond
the Sicily Islands, far out in the Atlantic
One of the builders told Of heavy sea
striking under the lantern and carrying
away the fog-bell, which hung by a stout
arm of iron nearly three inches square. A
few years ago the lighthouse keepers on
this rock were in terrible predicament
during hurricane, the violence Of which
was described as being fearful. The light
house was struck by enormous waves in
quick succession, each causing noise like
the discharge of cannon, and making the

Hints for a Damp Season.
From Food and Health.

EIOu L OOU ttnu hetltu
Baths are refreshing in such seasons.
Clothes should be worn warm, but not
heavy and thick. Light woolens are the
best to wear, not too much fur. Silk is a
good wear for these close seasons. AS we
have said before, be sure to have such
layers of materials, that the moist atmos-
phere does not penetrate to the skin and
thatsthe outer one absorbs it. But nothing
is more important in such season than
light food. Heavy, greasy dishes cannot
be digested and the blood becomes fever
ish.
A moderate amount of meat is sufficient;
much fish; poultry, game, where it can be
afforded, plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Soups are very good dishes in such wealth
er, nourishing stews, stewed fruits, light
buildings. Warm food is necessity, for If
in damp weather the system does not get
warmed, chills follow and sickness also.
Tea is very welcome; it refreshes and
stimulates the nervous system. particularly
in the afternoon. We never shall recon-
mend it for the midday meal. Any kind of
mild drink is better for that than tea
Be careful with your bread and hot cakes
Corn and buckwheat cakes can be sooner
digested than wheat cakes; for them the
quick cooking is not sufficient, and they
lie in the stomach and give much work.
If you should have a desire to be blessed
with malaria. or fever, Or indigestion, OF
loss Of appetite, just keep al your windows
and doors shut; have heav, curtains at the
windows and the room STUFF full Of fur
niture; sit by the hot ST., 20 and rush out
occasionally, live on rich, greasy dishes.
drink heavy wines, aud do not take your
meals regularly. You will succeed.

A TOUGH SNAKE STORY.

He Hated Man who Would Lie SO Outra.
geousIy.
II hate a man who lies about snakes"
said an old fellow who had been listening
for nearly an hour to snake stories, around
the stove at the Overland house.
"Perhaps you mean that we are liars, I"
said one Of the most loquacious of the
yarn splnners.
"Gh, no, 1 haven't heard anything from
you fellows that astonished me, continued
the stranger.
"Perhaps you know few snake stories
yourself" said one Of the group.
Well, I do recollect a curious circum-
stance connected with snakes. Up at Ma
lada last summer, I saw 8 rattlesnake going
along the road with thirty six young snakes
in tow
Must have been polyg," remarked a
byetander.
"Oh! that wasn't anything; but when the
big snake saw me coming. it just
swallowed those th,rty-six young snakes
one after the other"
"Oh, he's q good one himself" said one
= of the crowd.
Il don't see anything surprising in that, "
continued the Malada man. "But what
struck me as curious was that when came
to kill that snake, about two minutes after
y ILL
side the big one after cutting it OPEN"
"Holy Moses! what a whopper!" they ex-
claimed, in admiration.
But still, responded the story teller, II
afterwards figured out what at first seemed
almost inexplicable. You see, after the
family began to realize it's danger, eighteen
Of those young ones swallowed an
equal number Of the others; there
is SO many out of the way: then
nine of those remaining, swallowed nine Of
the rest. You see 1t is no trouble to ex-
plain these things, if you only light up the
mystery of nature with the lamp of reason
and Intelligence. They kept right on d.
minishing the number in regular arithmet-
icallproportion, until there was but one left.
"What in the deuce became of that one?"
queried one Of the group.
ooh, now you've got me; that's what
makes my story so remarkable. did not
interrupt you with unreasonable queries,
. and T think it very impolite to cross-q ues-
ton me. How can man make any show
of snake story if he's interrupted"
Here he walked away, leaving the COM
mon-place liars ashamed Of all the snake
stories they had told.

A Bows Luck.

The Norristown (Pa) Herald in recent
issue referred among others, to the follow
ing cases of special interest. They are
their own commentary. Mr.. Samuel c.
Nyce, resident at sos Marshall street, and
holds the responsible position Of journal
clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at
Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce and family
were in the country recently, his boy, aged
three years, fell ahd broke his leg, He
recovered but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use the leg.
The injured limb was rubbed Several times
with St. Jacobs OIL, and the stiffness was
so much reduced that the boy was able to
use his leg freely. DR.. Knipke
said it was the use of st.
Jacobs Oil that cured stiffness Mr.. Nyce
himself used the Great German Remedy for
toothache with good effect, and also for a
sprain and pails of rheumatic nature, and
always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce also
says she thinks the oil is splendid thing,
and she always keeps it on hand.

Are men thOughtleSs, or worse? There
was one woman who had little money
which her father had given her to be re-
served for some case of need. It was es-
pecially set aside, and there WAS enough
and to spare; for on her side she had con-
tributed to the capital of prosperous bust
ness.
One day her husband asked her for this
money and she gave it to him, and that was
the end Of it. He never dreamed of restor-
ing tor perhaps could not.

One day her husband, knowing of her

She waited, and there was no return.
She spoke of it, and the
careless answer was. "Oh you
