The Lighthouse on Minot's ledge
stands within the shadow of tragedy.
It is the second structure erected upon
the ledge. The first lighthouse and the
lives it held were claimed by the sea.
Begun in 1S47 and completed in No
vember, 1848, it was overwhelmed in
April, 1851. Its destruction was the
most tragic event In the history of our
lighthouse establishment. The struc-
ture was an ockagonal tower supported
upon wrought iron piles strengthened
by braces, The piles penetrated Eve
feet int the rock. On the braces, 841S
feet above the mock, the keeper had corr
structed platform for the storage Of
bulky articles and had ,Sastaned to the
lantern deck, So feet above the rock, a
az inch hawser, which he had an
chored to a seven ton granite block.
Along this hawser articles were hoisted
up to the platform and there landed.
These Improvements were convenient
and fatal, not, however, to the keeper
who made them, for he was on shore
when the storm WHICH has become his
toric FOR its fury burst over the coast.

THE TEMPERAMENTs.
The Fourfold Classification That Was Made
Two Thousand Years Ago. -@


, It is interesting to find that so thor
oughly scientific a man as Professor
William Preyer has adopted the four
fold classification Of temperaments
made nearly 1900 years ago-namely,
the ch cleric, sanguine, melancholy and
Emphatic. The existence of one or
the other of these temperaments may
be di$cerned, he says In his work on
"The Infant Mind" very early in the
great majority of children-in the Sec
ond quarter of the first year, beyond
a doub BIT. Nearly every one who has
written about temperaments has got up
a elias ification of his own. Galen had
nine, Haycock gave six, Graham
Brown seven, and others have got down
as low as two. Modern writers use the
word nervous for choleric, and bilious
for m elancholic temperament. With
these verbal notifications, the old clas-
sifcatfon seems to answer all practical
purposes, and individuals can build up
combinations as needed. -.
Hut chinson defines temperament as
the su N of the physical peculiarities of
q man SAS4uSifS VI Ills tSuu6uCy To
disease. This is not very satisfac-
tory, though perhaps temperament is a
thing q little too vague to be satisfacto-
rily defined. In modern terms it may
be said to be the peculiar way in which
the individual reacts to the stimuli of
his environment. There is no doubt
that ohe class of persons reacts quickly
and easily, expanding energy profusely
and of ten needlessly in their life work;
others react hopefully and work buoy
antly, yet with less waste. We can
thus distinguish the nervous, the SAN
guine, the melancholic. etc. A capac-
ity to recognize and appreciate the i'm
portance of temperament used to be con-
sidered part of q sound medical train
ing. 1t has been too much neglected in
our pursuit of minutie with micro
scopes and test tubes. Our teachers of
practical medicine might we'll revive
its study.-Medical. Record.
