The extent of the lighthouse service
of the United States is not generally
known, even in maritime circles. Ac-
cording to the latest report of the
lighthouse board, we have in all 1913
lighthouses, thirty-eight lightships,
sixty-four fog signals operated by steam
or hot air, lis fog bells operated by
machinery, 800 beacon lights on
Western rivers, 345 unlighted or day
beacons, thirty-three automatic or
whistling buoys, fourteen automatic
bell buoys, and 1877 buoys of other
descriptions. To maintain and attend
to all these lighthouses, lights and
buoys requires the service of twenty
two steam tenders, 1859 lighthouse
keepers, Including laborers in charge
of Western river lights" and 686
"other employees, including crews of
lightships and tenders" The total
annual expense of the lighthouse
establishment and fog signals is ST.
$4,000.

Under date of July 8, 1882, E. B. Bright, OF
Windsor Locks, Conn.,, writes aplaln, modest
narrative, which, from its very simplicity, mas
the true ring of fine gold. He says: "My
father is using Hunts Remedy and seems TO
be improving, in fact, he is very much better
than he has been for along time. he had been
tapped three times. The first time they got
from him sixteen quarts of water, the second
time thirteen quarts, and fully as much more
the third time, and he would constantly I'LL up
again every time after he had been tapped,
until he commenced using Hunts Remedy,
which acted like magic in his case, as ne
begun to improve at once, and now his
@atery accumulation passes away through
the secretions naturally, and he has none OF
that swelling or filling up which was 30
frequent before the functions of the kidneys
were restored by the use Of Hunts Remedy.
He is a well4known citizen of this place, and
has always been in business here"
Again he writes, November q, 1885;
~ beg most cheerfully and truthtuily 70
state, in regard to Hunts Remedy, that its
use was the saving of my fathers life. !
spoke to you in my previous letter In regard
20 his being tapped three times. 1t is the
most remarkable case that has ever been
aoard of in this section. For a man of his
years (sixty years) it is most remarkable
cure. He had been unable to attend to his
business more than year, and was given up
by the doctors. The first bottle of Hunts
Remedy that he used gave instant relief. He
has used in all seven bottles, and continues
to use it whenever he feels drowsy or slug
rish, and it affords instant relief. He is now
attending to his regular business and has been
several months. am perfectly willing that
you she uld publish this letter, as we thor
oughly believe that fathers life was saved by
using Hunts Remedy and these facts given
above may be benefit to others suffering in
like manner from diseases or inactiOn OF the
kidneys and liver"

The Cleveland Herald's national

The Cleveland HerGld's national
correspondent thus describes the
Senate's presiding officer:
Senator David Davis is an example
of the easy-going statesman He never
delivers a long speech, and if he de-
livers one at all it is short and read
from manuscript. 1t is often amusing
to watch him as he presides over the
Senate. That great bodies move more
slowly than small ones is universal
rule, 9nd is no exception in this case.
When the Senator walks it is simple
waddle. He talks slowly. He enjoys
a cigar as well as any other statesman,
and sometimes after disposing of a
Havana in the cloak-room he comes
out and, selecting vacant chair next
to the centre aisle, draws one nearer
from the other side upon which to rest
his weary feet and thus, as much at
ease as man can well be in that posi-
ton, he blocks up the aisle. But Judge
Davis is universally respected. The
many good deeds of charity and little
acts of kindness he does to his fellow
men in need are not always told. More
than one poor lad has felt the hand of
the kind old man stretched out to aid
him, and will remember the words of
advice and good cheer which he heard.
The world is the gamer for the life of
David Davis"
