this was the reason.

work. Anderson & Barr built the light
house on the Fourteen Feet Bank in Della
ware Bay, and they viii follow the same
method employed there in building the
Outer Diamond Shoal light.
This shoal IS the most dangerous point on
the entire Atlantic coast, and the difficulties
in the way of erecting lighthouse there
are greater than at any point where SINH
lar structure has ever been placed. The
contractors will build an immense iron
caisson, surmOunted with hollow iron
cylinder, and will tow this structure out to
the shoal, either from Norfolk or from
Hatteras Inlet. 1t will be sunk on the
shoal, in about twenty-five feet OF water, by
weighing it down with blocks of stone.
When it rests evenly on the sands the work
men inside the caisson, the eXcavated ma
terial being carried up through the cylin-
der.
The shoal is composed of shifting sands,
and it is not known how far down the Gals
son may have to be sunk. 1t may be less
than 40 feet or it may be nearly 100. This
will be determined by preliminary borings.
AS soon as the base of the caisson rests on
a good foundation its interior will be filled
up solid with concrete. The cylinder on
top will also be flied with concrete to the
height of 81 feet above the water level.
When the concrete Solidifies it will make
practically monolithic foundation on which
to place the lighthouse proper. This base
will be surrounded by riprap work of stone
weighing not less than two tons each, ex-
tending to a distance Of 400 feet on all sides
of the tower.
The lighthouse itself will be compare
lively easy to build after the foundation is
once in place. 1t will be nine stories in
height, each story containing, one room.
The first floor is to be a st0rage-roOm for
coal, wood, fresh water and three life-boats.
On the second floor will be the fog-signal
apparatus. The third floor will contain the
fire proof vaults for the storage of oil and
large tanks for salt water, with storage
room for years provisions for four men.
The next five floors are to be livng-rooms.
Above these are to be the watch-roOm and
lanterns. The superstructure is to be of
iron, lined with brick Work on the light
house is to be commenced within a month
and it is to be completed within two years.
The contractors are to maintain the light
for one year before its acceptance by the
Goyernment.-N. Y. Times.

THE GOOD OLD TIMES,
Punishment in ''Sans Peur ct Sans r.
DrOacheo Period.


proache" Period.
Under Henry l. coiners of false money
were punished by the loss of their right
hands, and other mutilations of various
kinds were in common use. In 1850 we
hear of heretics who had refused to ad-
jure their faith being handed over by
the church to the civil authorities, to be
branded with a hot iron on the forehead,
have their clothes torn off from the
waist up, and be whipped through the
public streets. Boycotting was at that
time legal practice, whatever it may
be now, for the said hsretics were not
only forbidden to worship as they de-
sired, but forbidden to enter the houses
of orthodox believers, or even to pur.
chase the necessaries of life.
The popular notion of the crusaders
as an army of Bayards, ''sans peur 1T
sans reproache," is hardly consistent
with the code of criminal law which
Richard C9ur de Lion enacted for the
especial behoof of those with whom he
set out for holy Palestine. If any
one of them were convicted of theft,
boiling pitch was to be poured over his
head, then a pillow full of feathers
shaken over him, and he was to be
abandoned at the first port the vessel
touched. Whoever killed another on
board ship was to be tied to the corpse
and cast into sea; whoever kill ed another
on shore was to be tied to the corpse
and buried with it. A blow was to be
punished by three duckings in the sea,
and the use of the knife in a quarrel
caused the aggressor to lose one of his
hands.--An the Year Round.

EARLY FRUIT JELLIES.

In making jelly it is of the utmost
Importance that the fruit should be at
the proper stage, as, either green or
over-ripe, all efforts to make good Jelly
will be vain.
If jelly does not foam in twenty-four
hours, it is useless to cook it over. The
best loaf sugar should be used, and the
juice should be boiled before adding the
sugar, as it retains both flavor and color
before.
Current Jelly without Cooking Pour
the juice from the currants, and strain
it; to every pint add pound of sugar;
mix together until the sugar is dis
solved, then put into glasses; cover and
set in the sun for two or three days.

Some years ago Amelia Simpson, .
maiden lady of mature years, moved
into New England village to take pos

been left her by deceased uncle.
Miss Simpson was city spinster and
it happened that while moving into her
new home she made some decisive re-
marks about the village, which remarks
reached the ears of the villagers.
1t was before the days of boycotting,
but the spirit of that method existed,
and so unanimous were the feelings ex-
cited against the newcomer that not q
soul in the village called upon her.
The lady herself was unconscious that
she had offended, and made several ad-

acquaintance with her neighbors, but

time.

all supplies from a neighboring town,
and lived alone with a female servant
for score of years. At the end of that
time she was taken very ill. A doctor
was summoned from distance by her
faithful attendant, and he soon knew
that all remedies were useless, and it
only remained for him to tell poor Miss
Simpson that her earthly pilgrimage
was nearly over. This he did in his own
way. He was doctor of the old school
and he approached the subject cour-

Three Valuable Domestic Hints.

Gloves should never be rolled into a
wad or left lying inside out. Pull of
slowly and stretch each finger to its full
length. Mend every minute rip with
glove thread and needles which come
especially for the purpose. Wrap each
pair in tissue paper, and keep in long
box, without folding.
After carpets are relaid 60 over them
and wipe with damp cloth wrung out
of warm water, to which ox-gall or OK
gall soap has been added. If this can
not be obtained use spirits of turpentine
in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls
to gallon of water. Ammonia should
not be used, as it is sometimes injurious
to delicate colors.
To mend a very large hole in socks or
woven underwear, tack piece of strong
net over the aperture and darn over it.
Thus mended the garment will be
stronger than when new, and look far
heater than if darned in the ordinary
way.-Boston Budget.
