HARD LIFE IN A LIGHTHOUSE.

Keepers at MInot's Ledge. Near
Occasions.
One OF the most wonderful light
houses in the world is that at Minot's
ledge, near Boston. It's history has
been one OF romance. The greater
part OF the foundation is under water
at low tide.I 1S47 skeleton light.
house OF iron WAS erected there on
iron piles placed in holes drilled into
the rock. A furious hurricane burst
upon the coast in April, 1851, and
anxious watchers from the Cohasset
shore thought that the structure had
been carried away. But rs the sun
sank, out shone the light across tho
storm tossed waters. At 10 p. m.
the light was seen for the last time.
At one hour after midnight the fog
bell was heard above the roaring OF
the breakers. At daybreak the ocean
was blank; the lighthouse was'gone.
Knowing that no help could reach
them, the keepers had lighted their
lamps as warning to Others, and
their lives had gone out with it. Now
granite tower occupies the spot. So
difficult was it to lay the foundation
in the surf that only thirty hours
work could be done during the first
year, but the tower stands to-day as
enduring rs the ledge itself-an is
olated pile OF stone amid the waves.
by the force of which it is swayed like
n tree in wind. During the long win
ter months ali communication with
the land is shut of. In summer the
occasional visitor is hoisted into the
lighthouse from his boat by means OF
a chair, and from time to time skiff
is lowered by pulleys to convey one
or another OF the five keepers to shore.

THE PROSPECT.

Methinks We do - fretful children do,
Leaning their faces on the window pane,
To Sigh the glass dim with their own
breath's stain.
And shut the sky and landscape from their
views;
And thus, alasl since God, the maker,
drew
A mystic separation 'twixt those twain,
The life beyond us and our souls In pain.
We miss the prospect which we are called
unto
BY grief We are fools to use. Be still and
strong,
o man, my brother, hold thy sobbing
breath,
And keep thy souls large window pure
from wrong
That 80. ~ lifes appointment issueth.
Thy vision may be clear TO watch along
The sunset contamination lights Of death.

A Story Of Italy's Queen.

A charming story is told in the cur
rent number of the Revue de Famille
of the Queen of Italy. Her favorite
governess, when she was a child, was
Mile. Rosa Aberser, who was girl
OF twenty-five when the ten-year-old
Princess of Savoy became her pupil.
The two became very much attached
to each other, for the Viennese teach
er's yoke was easy, and her instruc-
ton was pleasantly impaired. The
Princess at tina. time received small
amount ofpocket money every month.
The governess mt one time noticed her
pupil had spent nothing of it for sew
eral months, and when asked what
she intended doing with it gave an
evasive answer. At the end of the
fourth month, however, Princess Mar
garet OF Savoy presented hergoverness
with ring other own hair, ornaments
ed with her initials in diamonds

quainted with all the seashore resorts
OF the country, visit the principal ones
every summer, and have yet to see the

ures look pretty in the water; that is
because OF their usually concealed
curves OF beauty being displayed in all
their righteousness, thanks to the
approved fashionable bathing suit.
But Just as soon as a woman releases
the rope and strikes out to swim her
charms go all aglee. There is some
defect in her muscular development
which is fatal to her prospects as a
mermaid. She throws her arms about
in giddy swirl which renders progress
through the water almost impossible,
and kicks her feet in such a way as to
retard the momentum impaired to
her body by the arm movement.

Atlantic City and other surf bathing
resorts regularly every reason for ten
years, who plunge into the tides two
or three times every day, and who yet
know less about swimming than does
the average ten-year-old boy. Fear OF
danger does not prevent them from
learning, because It is notorious that
women are more reckless in the water
than men. 1t is to be accounted for
on no other hypothesis than that they
are simply not built that way IN.

introducing me to Nine. Van Renseler.
She was Pole, and when saw her |,
who had been astonished at Van Rem
selers's marriage with one who was
not an American, swallowed my sur
prise completely.
TO call her charming would be by
no means doing justice to her.
Besides this she was in the very
bloom OF youth, while Van Renseler
was much about the same age as my
sell, and l was on the shady side Of
40. Twas surprised, for knew that
THE colonel when boy had lost his
heart to a French singer who had run
away from him a yearlater, after which
he became a misanthrope and fairly
hated music.
f.! had entered the Academy OF
Music between the first and seconds
acts OF the opera. When the first
person upon whom my eyes fell in the
corridor was tho colonel.
Rushing toward me he seized both
my hands and shook them heartily.
"How are you my dear old boy?'
!. "1n capital health, rs you may per-
ceive, Eugene, and delighted to seeyou
again, after your having SO long left
me in doubt asto your continuance
above ground"
At this moment the second act was
about to commence and he said.
"Come with me to my box and /
will introduce you to my wife,"
As he uttered this he opened the
door of the box and we entered.
Adelaide Van Renseler looked
around with her finger upon her lip
and a saucily mutinous expression as
soon as she heard her husbands
step.
| sank into chair behind her,
while Van Renseler seated himself
upon the opposite side OF the box.
A married sister of the colonel's,
whom had long known, occupied the
seat before him. A very cordial greet
ing had been interchanged between us.
For moment or two / might pro-
badly have envied Eugene Van Rensel-
or his position as a married man had
not cha ICED to turn my eyes toward
him.
There was the fellow who hated
music, who only endured it ''for Adde'S
sake" as he had Just told me, with
his eyes closed and ridiculous ex-
preston upon his face OF the most
supreme delight, listening to Nilsson
and beating time gently upon his knee
to the aria she was singing.
When the curtain fell the colonel
turned round just as his wife folded
up the programme OF the opera, on
which / had seen her scribbling a few
words with the little jeweled pencil
case attached to her bracelet, and
pushed it into my hand.
After Eugene had invited me to
dine with them he bade me offer my
. arm to his wife, and appropriating
Mrs. Corbyn to himself, quilted the
box.
AS the colonel, with his sister. pre-
coded Mrs. Van Renseler and myself !
felt her little kid-goved fingers tighten
upon my arm like a wise.

Mrs. Martinez, Widow of n Mexican General
Encourages Garza's Men.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 3l.-El Mundo is
owned by the widow of General Iguacio
Martinez. Martinez was bitter political
opponent of the Diaz government and was
exied from Mexico About six months ago
he was assassnated in the dark in the
streets of Laredo by two horsemen, who es-
capped without identification. Nothing fur
ther ever developed, but it Is believed that
can government employed for the purpose
The paper is published by the widow of
General Martinez. and is a staunch adherent
of GarZa and his cause. The issue just
from the press declares that Cara
is organizing an army III the state of
Tamaulipas and Cohulla that the people are
with him; that capital and the military are
interested in the revolution, but fearing the
wrath of the Mexican government have not
yet openly declared their position. Ell Mundo
further declares that the thousands of revo-
lutions which the American troops are trying
to prevent from organizing are under the
command of General Benvides and not
Garza as has been said. and that CARA is in
Cohuila at the head of from 10000 to $4,000
men.
Ell Mundo concludes an editorial in the fol-
lowing languages "Caterino Garza's cause
is much stronger, Notwithstanding the activ-
ity Of the Mexican government There is no
doubt tho Mexican people, with few excep-
tions, are dissatisfied with the present ad
ministration. Onward people. The hour OF
restoration is near. Hail to the sacred rights
of the people, Down with tyrants."
