platforms about twenty feet square ands
foot high. These platforms are covered
with great palm leaves upon which were
spread the wares of tho market women
In the center of each platform was a
pillar which helped to support the roof Of
the shed, and against the four sides Of
this pillar four women leaned their backs.
Each had number of little piles Of
onions, pieces of cabbages and other
vegetables before her, and looked III
vain for either scales OF measures. In
this market the only measure was the eye
and everything sold at 50 much per pile.
There was no paper or string used il
wrapping up the vegetables, and every
thing was put into palm-leaf and fast
ened there with little wooden tooth
pick-like pin. Each woman had beteI
box and some cigarettes beside her and
all chattcd and smoked as the market
went on. The whole looked very bar

Russian Growth in Asia.

AT this moment, quarter of century
since the capture of Tashkend, the Rus
sian possessions in Central Asia already
extended over an area of 30, 900 square
miles, rich in fertile GASES, and counting
population of about three million in
habitants.
The respect of property and legality
have been introduced into that country.
The population, harassed by despotism
and plumber, now reposes under the
scepter of the white fsar.n
The works Of peace and commerce are
rapidly developing, aided by the creation
of a railway which unites Samarcand to
the Caspian Sea- The agricultural ex-
hibition at Tashkcnd has Just demon
strated with evidence what Russian dom
ination has done for the country.
And all this is due to the intrepidity
and heroic patience of handful of SOL
diers led BY Tchernaieff. The wars of
Central Asia, like those of former DAYS
OF the Caucasus, were an excellent school
for the Russian troops; not only did
they form men but they created brave
officers. The names of Tchernaieff, Sko-
belief, kouropatkine, Abramoff, Colo
vatchoff, Kolpakovsky, etc., are there to
prove the fact.
The capture of Tashkend was no small
thing when one thinks that detach-
ment Of 1900 infantry and cavaliers,
backed by ten pieces of artillery, besieged
such large town, having circumfcr
ence of sixteen miles and over 100, 900
inhabitants, sixty three cannons, defend

IDA LEWIS AT HOME,
How the Famous Heroine Lives in
Newport Harbor,

Running from the mainland into the
west side of Newport harbor is long,
stanchly built wharf. Were you to find
your way to the end, you would ere long
see from the lighthouse beyond woman
appear and glance in your direction.
Presently, with agile step, she runs down
the narrow ladder fastened to the stone
wall, jumps nimbly into boat, unties it
from its fiootings, takes the heavy oars,
and with beauty OF stroke all her OVID
pulls with long and strong pull that
sends her flying toward the steps Of the
pier on which you wait Her back is
as erect as that of young girl, her
powerful strength manifest in the great
strides the rowboat makes, and yet, when
she deity turns it round and you get a
good look at her face, il can be seen that
II belongs to woman In middle life, but
upon whom time has left few tell-tale
marks. She puts out welcoming hand
with q beautiful white wrist. adding q
CHEEKY smile and word Of greeting as
she makes ready to take you over to Lime
Rock as her guest You have cause for
self-congratulation in being thus favored
by the heroine, Ida Lewis.
Life on a lighthouse, situated as Is
Lime Rock light, is not the gruesome
thing generally imagined. With a six
rooncd house there are cares that fill the
day, and like any other ''gude wife, Miss
Lewis has her pots, kettles, and pans to
attend to, rooms to sweep, beds to make,
papers and magazines to read, letters to
write, and all the various ct ceteras to
manage which fill the time of a busy
woman A devoted church woman, she
spends Sunday on shore whenever
her brother is at home
AS the only woman light house keeper
In our country, and the last one that will
be given light for such is the verdict
of the powers that be--Miss Lewis has
other duties that are unique. Exactly at
shutdown she must light her lamp, and
precisely at midnight another must be
substituted. All through the night it
must be watched, and Miss Lewis likens
this constant care to that demanded by
an infant The wick might flare or burn
low, the chimney smoke or crack, or any
of the hundred and onc accidents happen
that are ever taking place with the use
of kerosene oil. She can but catch cat
maps; hence the nearness of her sleeping
room to the light. At sunrise the law
requires her lamp, like the foolish vir-
gins, to have gone out, and from this
she is an early riser The responsibility
is no small one, for the slightest neglect
of duty or accident to her light or lenses
would bring a report from the first sea-
man who suffered by it. Lives hang on
her vigilance, but to her credit no light
on all the coast is as regularly or per
fcctly attended to, nor does any other
gain from the Government Inspector so
high report. Miss Lewis keeps a daily
expense book, noting just the amount Of
wick and oil burnt, and the time to Q
second of the lighting and putting out
of the lamp. In addition, record o.
the weather must be entered daily, A.

A Queer Mineral Which Serves Not
a Few Vegetable Uses.

Here is towel that is never washed
and yet is always kept clean, said a.
chemist to Star reporter, handing TO
him at the same time what appeared to
the eye and touch to be nothing more
nor less than piece of coarse cotton
towelinQ.
What sort Of laundry do you send it
tor was the natural query.

brightly there for che1rioal purposes.

responded the chemist. II such
towels almost forever, and they limos

With that he lifted off the lid Of the
stove again and took out the towel wll.a
the tongs, dipping it in cold water and
then handing it once more to the news
paper man.

1T is made of rock" answered the
chemist, .'but a very. peculiar kind Of
rock-so peculiar, indeed, that the an

the ashes from being lost among the
charred wood of the funeral pyre. Also
they used it for napkins and for lamp

I for yourself from this towel how much
it looks like vegetable fabric when
