Lighthouse Without a Lamp,

The most extraordinary of all light
houses is to be found on a rock in Tie
Hebrides, Scotland. On this rock a
conical beacon is erected, and on its
summit lantern is fixed, from which,
night after night, shines a light which
is seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there is no burning lamp in the
lantern and no attendant ever goes 20
it, for the simple reason that there is
no lamp to attend to, no wick to train
and no oil well to replenish. The way
in which this peculiar lighthouse is
Illuminated is this: On the island Of
Lewis, 800 feet or so away, is light
house, and from window in the tower
stream of lights is projected on a
mirror in the lantern on the summit of
Arnish Rock. The consequence is that
to all intents and purposes lighthouse
exists which has neither LAMP nor
lighthouse keeper.

Checkers a Very Ancient Game.

Thanks to the Investigations of our
modern Psychologists, the Egyptian
temples, pyramids and tombs, statues,
Inscriptions and pictorial representa-
lions have at last yielded up their
secret, and enable us 10 assert, without
lesitation, that in the far remote period
of 1000 years, in the land of the Pha-
,aohs, the game of draughts was q
favorite amusement in the houses of
The poor and the mansions Of the rich.
From these monumental records and
pictorial representations we learn
what the daily domestic life, amuse-
ments, manners and customs of the an
,ient Egyptians were. Let our read
ers inquire at the free library for
Egyptian Antiquities" by Sir j.
Gardner Wilkinson, and turn to pages
lSS to 1913, and l promise them treat.
There they will see several illustrations
copied from the tombs and temples.
One of these portrays King Rameses-
is port ayed on the walls of his Ia!ace
at Thebes engaged in the game of
laughts with the ladies of the house
hold. The modern Egyptians still play
the game, with pieces very similar to
The pieces used by their ancestors.
Several specimens of these may be
seen in cases forty-four and forty-fve
in the British museum. The Egyp-
tians of today call their game dameh,
and play it very much in the same way
Is we do ours.

The Price They Paw.

How many boy readers of The Com
panion have s'beaten the record?" In
what did they achieve the victory-in
running, jumpinr, rowing, cricket,
tennis, or foot ball? Whatever it may
have lcen, there can be no doubt that
the victor enjoyed keen triumph.
The sun shol e, the crowd chez ed, his
team ard college eXulted, and Ordina-
ry mortals envied him as hero.
The Companion does not grudge its
congratulations to the triumphant
athletes among its readers. 1t would
only remind them that there is price
to pay for these victories. 1t is for
them to decide whether the victories
are cheap or dear. The reminder is
the more necessary because the price
is not paid at once, and therefore is
apt to be left out of the account.
A certain amount of exercise is nee
essary to enable one to study with a
healthy mind in healthy body; but if
a boy trains for .'crew" or "team,"
he must give up many hours that 9TH
erwise might be devo,ed to books.
And that is not all Of the price.
The most eminent English and
American physicians have declared
that no boy under twenty-four is able
to stand the enormous drafts made
upon his vitality by excessive training
or "spurts" in athletic sports without
risk of impairing his strength for life.
A dispatch was recently brought
from Chicago to New York by BIZ
cycle-rider in little over hundred
hours. Another cyclist rode for twen-
ty-four consecutive hours, making six
teen miles each hour. These feats
were applauded by all the cycling
world.
The London Lancet asks: cat
what cost WERE these useless feats ac
complished? During the time of these
extraordinary efforts the heart of the
rider knew no rest from full activity;
the elastic coat of every artery in his
body was in full tension. The man
was tearing away in a kind of trance,
his higher nervous centers paralyzed,
and his body held in life only by the
heart and respiratory center, both of
which were taxed to the extremity of
danger. The risk was dangerous to
the verge of insanity"
The same risk is incurred in the
great spurts made in rowing and run
ming. The vitality of the man is per-
manently weaked.
1t is worth while for man to ven-
ture his life to carry rope to a sink
ing ship, or to save great cause, but
to win a line in college paper or the
applause of crowds such glory
worth the price?-Youth's Companion.

Statues of COrpses.

The pleasing possibility Of transform
ing the dear deceased into n marble
like statue that may be set in a niche
or on pedestal was suggested to the
members of the Academy Of Sciences
of Paris recently by Mr.. Mortin, who
read paper detailing his discovery of
a process of converting animal matter,
before decomposition sets in, into
substance resembling marble, being
sufficiently hard to allow Of it's being
sculptured. He called the attention of
the society to the possibility of his in
yention, which he has taken the pre-
caution to patent, being utilized to pre-
serve human bodies after death. Inas-
much as this marble-like substance can
be sculptured, it is possible to remedy
little physical defects that, unnoticed or
at least not obtrusive in life, might de-
tract from the attractiveness of a stat
ue. This process is step ahead of the
st. Louis silver-plater who for ten years
has been experimenting upon a plan
to succeed embalming by hermetically
plating in gold. silver or nickel the an.

undergo the expense of having them

Chinese Trentment OF Children.

However little liked the Chinaman
may be by his white neighbors, have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiseworthy
quality-the kindness shown by all Of
them toward their children. The poor
est parents always seem able to save
enough money to array their little ones
in gay garments on New Years day or
other holidays. The children in turn
seem to be remarkably well-behaved
and respectful toward their elders, and
rarely, if ever, receive corporal punish
ment. They seem very happy, and
apparently enjoy their childhood more
than most American children. On al.
most any sunny day the fond and proud
father may be seen at every turn in
Chinatown carrying his brightly attired
youngster in his arms. Other little
tots. hardly old enough to feel quite
steady on their legs, toddle about with
infants strapped on their backs. They
do not appear to mind this, and it does
not seem to interfere with their child
ish pastimes. About the time Of the
Chinese New Year Chinese children
are particularly favored, and the fond
fathers deny them nothing. The little
ones always appear to be well pro-
vided with pocket-money to buy toys
and candies.-St. Nicholas.

Garrison Is Officially Dead.


According to the records of the War
Department, J. l.. Garrison, who served
for some months in the Seventh West
Virginia regiment at the outbreak of
the war, has been dead for thirty-three
years. The records show that he died
in hospital during the winter of 1862
63. But Mr.. Garrison comes forward
to say that he did not die in the wintc.
of 1S62-63, nor at any subsequent time.
He asserts that he is alive and resides
at Pollytown, Green County, Pennsyl
vania, and he has interested Congress
man Dooner of West Virginia to intro
duce a bill in the House to officially
recognize his existence and put tho
records of the War Department
straight.
When Garrison enlisted, in Septem-
ber, 1861, aged about 90, his father was
dead, and he left his mother and a
younger brother to manage as best they
could the family estate of 700 acres
Things did not go well at home, the
mother became sick, and the young re-
cruit, in the summer of 1862, by ar.
rangement with the officers of his regi.
ment, employed n substitute and went
back to the farm. The substitutes
name was John Kennedy, but he serv-
ed under the name of J. L. Garrison,
and when he succumbed to disease in
hospital the following winter. not John
Kennedy, but J. L. Garrison was mark
ed as dead on the rolls of the regiment
So the records of the regiment remain
to this day in the files Of the War De
partment.
Garrison is now 5S years of age, and
would like to have the record correct.

to him by the Secretary Of War. Sew.
eral of his neighbors at Pollytown, who
served with him in the Seventh West
Virginia Regiment, have made affda.
Wit that Garrison employed substi.
tute, as above stated; that the substi.
tute answered to Garrison's name, and
when the substitute died Garrison was
marked as dead on the regimental rolls.
