Iigh,bous. without a Light.

The most extraordinary Of all light
houses is TO be- found on Arnish rock,
Stornoway bay, "a rock which is separated
from the island of Lewis by channel over
300 feet wide. Ii is in the Hebrides, Scot
land. On this rock conical beacon Is
erected, and on its summit lantern Is
fixed, from which, night after night,
shines light which is seen by the fisher
men far and wide. Yet there is no burn
ing lamp In the lantern and no attendant
ever goes to It, for the simple reason that
there Is no lamp to attend to, no WICK 10
train and no oil well to replcnish.
The way in which this peculiar light.
house Is illuminated Is this: ION the Is
land of Lewis, 600 feet or SO away, Is u
lighthouse, and from window in the
tower a stream of light is projected on
mirror in the lantern on the summit OF
Arnish rock. These rays are reflected TO
an arrangement Of prisms, and by their
action are conyeraed to "a focus outside the
lantern, from which they diverge In inc
necessary direction.
The consequence Is that to all intents
and purposes a lighthouse exists which has
neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper, ana
vet which gives as serviceable light
taking into account the requirements Oh
this locality-as If AN elaborate and costly
lighthouse, with lamps, service room, peu
room, living room, storeroom, olirooin
water tanks and all other accessories were
erected on the summit of the rock.

Rev. Jesse Porey, the new pastor at

OLD MEMORIES AWAKENED.
The Little Book Made Him Thoughtful
For One Night.


IL was only an ordinarily bound, small
sized Bible AMI would not attract more
than passing glance from any one Of the
hurrying hundreds who passed the little
table in front Of the secondhand book
store every day. Perhaps 1t had lain there
Tor years unnoticed until ono day last
week when Its former owner found IL. He
was ambling along, surrounded by several
boon companions IA man of about 30
years, from his general appearance, but
one whose eyes looked like those of an old
man, the kind Of eyes one sees In the
sockets about the gambling houses He
was the jolliest of the crowd and In a
boisterous way was joking his fellows. AS
his eyes shifted restlessly he happened to
catch sight Of that little leather covered
Bible as 1t lay on the dirty table In front
OF the old secondhand store. In an instant
he stopped as II petrifled and forgetting
his companions stood riveted to the spot
Then he walked quickly into the store and
asked the old woman to come outside.
"How much for this book?" he asked,
picking 1t up.
"Tbirty five cents" was the reply.
The man handed her silver dollar, and,
picking up tho book, left the store.
"Wbat on earth do you want with that
book" exclaimed one of the gang" who
did not see tho title. But the man paid no
attention to tho question. Instead he
| opened the book and there on the fly leaf
saw tho inscription, "To my boy, and
underneath the date. AS he read the words
two tears came into his eyes and one OF
them FLASHED down upon the book. His
companions had by this time passed ON
and had entered saloon, but he did not
| think of them. His thoughts were of that
twenty first birthday 10 years ago when
his mother had given the little book to
him on the eve of his departure for the
city. In minute no had lived over all
those evil 10 years that had elapsed since
then, and unmindful of the passersby
stood i'm the middle of the crowded street,
the book still open in his hand. His com
panions had by this time missed him and
| came back.
Hurry up, old boy! The drinks are
ordered and there's good game going OF
up stairs" cried one, but the man onl,
shook his head and quietly said;
Il don't think I'll play today. Goodby
boys. I'm going home on tho o'cloci
train. "-Louisyillo Courier-Journal.

THE SMILE ON our sAsvs FACE.

bod's angel was hidden 10 make her fair,
10 he wove the sunshine into her hair.
He took OF the midnoon's clOudlcss skies
And fashioned therefrom her two blue eyes
lie washed her white with the sinloss SHOWS
Ard painted her cheeks with the dawn's faint
rose
He dimpled her tiny hands and feet,
He made her sunny and soft and sweet.
He nodded her round white limbs with art,
He got her from heaven pure child heart
Then he kissed her lips and her brow and eyes
And brought her, sleeping, from paradise.
Such virtue lies in those kisses three
That, how so weary at heart ARE we,
The look and the smile ON our babys face
Bring rest and comfort and endless grace.

that he had severe kidney trouble for
MANY years, with severe pains in hisback

He tired many so-called kidney cures, but
without any good result. About year
ago he began the use Of Electric Bitters,
and found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted to cure all kidney

instant relief. One trial will prove out

GAVE DEVILS MIXTURE. l"
AsAFOETIDE is ITS MOST PALArA-
BILE INGREDIENT.
Is Given in Cases of Suspected Fraud
and Is Said to Rarely Fail to
Produce Immediate Improve
ment in the Patient.

John Shea is suing a local railroad to
recover 5000 damages for personal injuries
while working in an ice house for the
company. During the trial of the case in
Judge Slovers court yesterday. several
surgeons of the company testified as to the
treatment which had been given Shea when
he was sent to the hospital They gave it
as their opinion that nothing was the mat
ter with him and testified that they adj
minfstered n number of doses of what was
called the devils mixture" to him during
his stay in the hospital
This devils mixture" is n particularly
nauseating compound. whose most palata-
bile ingredient is asafoetida. 1t is given in
cases of suspected fraud, and the doctors
testified that it rarely failed to cause i'm
mediate Improvement in the patient, who
preferred to get away from the hospital
and go to work rather than continue the
| treatment.
Attorney John O'Grady. representing the
plaintiff subjected the doctors to a severe
cross-examination as to the humanity of
giving such stuff to poor laboring men, who
! kept up the hospital and paid the salaries
of the surgeons themselves, but the latter
justified their treatment on the ground
that it was an injustice to the men who
were working and keeping up the institu-
| ton TO let men stay in the hospital when
they were able to work.
