The oil lighthouse at the eastern

one at the outer extremity pier, which
have done duty for 50 many years, are
to be superseded by a fine new strUct-
uEe with more powerful light and q
steam whistle located on " isconsin
Point. This very necessary change
was brought about by Congressman
H&ugen, and the money appropriated

WHY BABIES DIE.
Difficulties Of Feeding
at This Season.
One Food That Meet the Tests
of a Perfect Diet.
What Science Has Done to
Help Mothers.
Lactated Food Fulfils All
Requirements.
September Is a Serious Month
Where 1t Is Not Used.

Babies die, nine cases out of ten, from
improper feeding.
At this season indigestion, diarrhea
and cholera infantum do their fearful
mischief quickly.
Mothers, whose children have lived
through August. too often think that
the great peril is over. and often grow
careless in attention to babys diet. But
this is serious month for children, as
the high death rate for September shows
The mournful spectale Is presented of
infants pining away and dying from
causes which might be avoided if
mothers knew more about the great
advances OF science in infant feeding.
Physicians and nurses who have had
large experience with sick children in
cities and towns, emphasize the fact
that homes where lactated food Is u-ed
escape wasting disease in a most signifi-
cant manner. Lactated food is prepar-
ed with tie rue scientific knowlege
that nothing better can be done than to
follow nature as closely as possible in
the feeding of infants. Lactated food is
most like mothers milk. 1t has saved
The lives OF thousands of little ones. 1t
is within the reach of all. Use it.

Antiquity Of the Peach.

The peach IS an improved variety OF
the almond. Tire almond has a thin
shell around the stone, which splits
open and exposes the stone when ma
ture. This outer skin has simply be-
come feshy in the peach. so that is all
tha; gives it its specific character. II
seems now clear from investigation
IN the history of ancient Babylon that
ii their gardens, now nearl y four thou
sand years ago, the peach was cultivat-
ed then as it Is now. II must have
been many years bGtore this that the
peach was improved from the almond
and this fact goes TO show the great
antiquity Of the fruit.

BIG LOBSTER POUND.
A Million of the Toothsome Shellfish
Shipped from 1t Yearly.


There is q lobster farn-or pound, as
it is called-twelve acres in extent at
Southport, Me- The Boston Globe de-
scribes this pound, the most successful
on the coast, whence one million lob
sters are shipped each year. The pound
| is formed by building solid dam
across Z tidewater cove. This dam
does not quite rise to high water mark,
but across the top is placed a fence OF
iron rods, permitting daily change of
water, and preventing the Holsters from
escaping. In the spring and fall busi-
ness is most brisk. When the fisher
men bring the loEsters to the pound
the ''fsh," as they are called, are
hoistcd to the dam, measured, and
those which are more than ten and
one-half inches long, the legal limit,
are thrown III. If a lobster is clever
his life in the pound may be long and
full of JOY. If he is stupid he win be
fished out with n drag seine and packed
in a barrel, with n piece Of ice for
pillow, and sent to Boston. The seine
is made of stout twine and is weighted
at the bottom with heavy chain.
Along the top is row of corks, which
sustain the weight of the seine while
the chain drags on the bottom of the
pound. \ single cast of this seine viii
bring up Holsters enough to fill eleven
barrels. The chain as it sweeps along
the bottom stirs up the Holsters, which
Immediately shoot backward into the
slack twine. In taking them out the
men wear haavy mittens, though even
then they are often nippcd. In the
pound the holsters are fed on salt her
ring, men rowing about in sIziffs and
pitching the herring overheard. This
is called feeding the chickens" and
it takes about six barrels to make
light luncheon for the flock. There
are said to be a number OF old hard
shells in the Southport farm which for
years have evaded the casts of the
drag. Two of enormous size have be-
come quite tame and crawl about in the
shallow water. The age of the lob
ster is a debated question. The small
marketable specimens arc generally
supposed to be from four % six years
old, but some Holsters are believed 10
live TO the green old age Of twenty-five
years.

TRUFFLE HUNTING.
An Interesting Account of the Way 1t 10
Done in Southern France.


While tie author of "Wanderings by
Southern Waters was in the south of
France he engaged an old man to show
him how truffles were gathered. At
the appointed hour the man appeared
with pig walking by his side-an
ugly-looking beast, with an arched
back and a long, turned up nose. 1t
was four years old, and in the language
of the place. was quite ''serious." AS
mark of distinction it wore d leather
collar. The three hunters-the two
men and the pig-clilnbed the rocky
side of a steep gorge, and came out
upon a plateau. Here, under the oak
trees, they were to find the truffles,
which grow only near oaks or hazels.
At a sign from the old man, the pig
began shifting about the roots of a lit
tie tree, and then proceeded to dig
with her nose. tossing up the larger
stones as if they were feathers. She
had smelt a trufie, and the man seized
her by the ear, for her manner was sus-
piciOus. This was the first time they
had been ont together since the last
of her educati ton.
She manages to get trufie into her
mouth. He tugs at her ear with one
hand, and uses his stick upon her nose
with the other. The pig screams with
anger, but will not open her jaws wide
enough to let him slip the stick inside
and hook ont the truffle.
Tho SC Tho IL
man, forgetful OF Gil decorum, calls his
assistant pig, which in France is al
ways an insult. The game has opened
badly. although one OF the parties con-
cerned is of different opinion.
In few minutes. however, a second
trufie is found, and this time the old
man delivers whack on the pigs nose
at the right moment, and seizing the
mushroom, hands it to me. Then ne
takes from his pocket an ear of corn,
and picking off a few grains. gives
them to the pig by way of soothing her
injured feelings and encouraging her
to go on with the hunt.
We move about in the dry, open
wood. keeping always near the trees.
and trufle after truffie is turned up
from the reddish light soil. Her for
gotten training soon comes back to the
pig. At mere tyvitch of the ear she
retires at the right moment, and waits
for the corn which is invaria bly, given
her in exchange for the trufiie.
Before we leave the ground, indeed.
she has got so well into the work that
on finding a truffie she does not at
tempt to seize it, but points TO it, and
grunts for its equivalent in maize.

ADMIRAL MELANCTAON SMITH.
The Stirring Career of a Recently De-
ceased Naval Veteran.

Admiral Melancthon Smith, who
died recently, came of an historic fam
ily, for his grandfather was Alexander
Hamiltoa's chief opponent in the New
York state convention which adopted
the constitution, and his father was a
colonel in the war of 1872 and COM
manded Fort Moreau in the battle of
Plattsburg, while an uncle was a cap
tain in the navy and fought at Lake
Champlain under McDonough. The
admiral entered The navy in 1926 and
saw all sorts of service on sea and on
land. going round the world in 1923 on
board the Fincennes, commanding a
fort in Florida during the Indian
troubles, acting as executive officer
OF the Pensacola navy yard, and
serving as lighthouse inspector from
Maine to Nantucket. When the war
broke out he received command of the
steamer Massachusetts and helped to
guard the passes of the Mississippi.
October 25, 1861, he had an engage
ment with the confederate steamer
Florida and stopped her fire in an
hour. At the passage of the forts be-
low New Orleans he commanded the
Mississippi and destroyed the ram
Manassas. At Port Hudson he lost his
ship, which grounded right under the
fire of the enemy. He set her on fire
and abandoned her. His next ship was
the MOnongahela, with which he par
ticlpated IN the siege of Port Hudson.
In command of the Onondaga he CO.
operated with Gen. Butler at Dutch
Gap. He had hot engagement last
ing two days at the mouth of the
Roanoke river with the ram AIbemarle
and two other boats, having a feet of
tour small vessels besides thc OuondaCa
under his command During both at
taclls of Fort Fisher he commanded
the frigate Wabash. After the war
closed he waS commander Of the Wash
ingtOn and New York navy yards and
governor of the naval asylum at Phil
adelphia. He was made a rear admiral
in 1870 and retired the next year He
had visited very port in the United
States except that of California. been
blown up. had his ship burned and
had had shots fired through his hat
and. clothing without receiving
scratch. He was native of New York
city and was more than eighty-three
years old when he died.

The imperial woodpecller is an ex-
aggera tion OF the ordinary red-headed
woodpecler. 1t is nearly two feet
long, its plumage black and white.
with a gorgeous scarlet crest, its bill
white. 1t lives in Mexico and in the
Sierra Madre mountains. These birds
are always found in pairs and are de-
stroyers of trees, as they devote their
entire energies to one tree for as long
as a fortnight, injuring it SO greatly
that the tree dies. In Europe and Asia
there is gray-headed woodpecker.
The largest European woodpecl1er is
seventeen inches long, black, with
scarlet crest. 1t is called the great
black woodpecler. The little brown
woodpecker of Ceylon is not five inches
long. The white-headed woodpecker
is wise-looking little creature that
lives in the pine woods Of the Pacific
coast. There are some two hundred
and Atty species of woodpeckers. and
they inhabit almost every part of the
globe.

SLEEP is GOOD MEDICINE.
Liberal Indulgence Even Induces Flesh,
as Inventor Edison Proved.


as Inventor Edison Proved.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put flesh on tie
bones, says the Philadelphia Press. In
an article published some years ago,
| and generally ascribed to Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, it was recommended that
nervous women be put to bed and COM
PEELED to stay there while they were
fattened with nutritious foods, just as
chicken is fattened for NJ arket. With
the requirement of tat and the filing
UP Of the reservoirs Of nervous strength
the fdgety, emotional, whimsical
woman viii get up from her bed an
other being. Thomas 4. Edison, the
electrician, proved By his own case
how flesh can be acquired by sleep.
One week he slept fourteen hours
day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was a gain of seven
pounds in weight. A woman of only
moderate physical strength was asked
how she managed to attend to the
large business from which she gained
support. and the answer was that she
obtained it by sleeping ten hours six
days and spending the whole of the
seventh day in bed. There has been
visible advance IL the health of the
American people during the past TWEEN
ty or thirty years. Their stock OF vi
tality has increased and they live
longer. And while there are other
reasons for this change, the chief one
is that people sleep longer and rest
more. The hours for work have grad
ualiy grown fewer Factory opera
tives are no longer compelled to hurry
to their work at five o'clock in the
morning and work until seven o'clock
in the evening.
Business and professional men go to
their counting-rooms and offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the afternoon. The result is
more time for sleep and better health.
But there is still more room for i'm
provement in this way. Walter Be-
SAINT, the English novelist, said few
weeks ago at Harvard university, when
commenting on the graduating class:
"A fine, noble looking lot of young
men. They are unlike our English
university students physically. ! think
our young men, as a rule, are bigger,
heavier, stouter men, while yours
have more nervous activity than ours
They are slighter and, perhaps, taller,
but they seem to be more highly
strung nervously." That is the trouble
with majority of graduates. Not
withstanding the growth of the
athletic spirit in colleges, too many
young men go out into life too "highly
strung ncrvously.' There is no better
medicine than good sleep and plenty
of it, and many boy and man is
in energy by an unwise habit
Of getting up too early in the morning.
The American people would be
happier, there would be less crime
committed if people slept longer. 1t
is time the so-called sluggard had his
rights and the man who prefers his
snooze to a morning cocktail
is estimated at his proper value.
