upon Congress. The board has given
its approval Of the proposed light, and
the plans are complete. There is also
available about 100000 with which to
begin the work, and it is expected that
the remainder, to carry out the project,
will be asked this winter. If it is Sc
cured, or if authority is given to begin
the work, the Government proposes
to undertake it alone, and not to ask
for bids from contra ctors, as it did pre-

The light will be visible at least 20

blown at short intervals Three keep

room for eight people. On account of

Wordsworth and Burns.

A friend writes us from England: We
visited the simple tomb of William
Wordsworth in Grasmere churchyard.
The old church stood near it, among
the ancient trees The rapid Rotha
passed the graves and the grand hills
lifted their green domes in the cloudless
sky.
We had ridden past the poet tuned
lakes of Windermere and Grasmere,
with memories Of Coleridge, De Quin-
cey, Christopher North, Mrs. Hemans
and Harriet Martineau, and had rested
bv Rvdal Water in the shadows OF Ry-
dial Mount.
Wordsworth, said one of our par
tv, calling to mind the author of the
Excursion, - "seems to be the soul OF
all these scenes. He made himself the
ever prevailing spirit of the English
lakes.
BURNS was his teacher" said anoth-
er.
Chow was that?" we asked.
There, under the grand trees lifting
their solemn tops to the sun, our friend
repeated a single verse from Words
worth s poem on the death of Burns:
Imourned with thousands, but as one
More deeply grieved, for he was gone
Whose light hailed when first it shone
And showed my youth
How verse may build princely throne
On humble truth.

Papaw Vines For Luck.

The Rev. T. D. Witherspoon in a SER
mon at Paducah related an amusing
story of his experience while evangeliz-
ing in the mountains. One day while
passing a cornfeld in Leslie county he
was surprised to see long strings of
papaw bark knotted together and tied
to stumps. He asked his guide what it
meant and was informed that it was
"to bring luck. "
''And does such foolish superstition
exist all over this community" asked
the minister.
"Oh, no." said the mountaineer !;
"the old preacher over in the settlement
yonder says papaw vines don't do no
good
can intelligent man," interrupted
Mr.. Witherspoon. "I'm glad to find one
man who isn't lost in ignorance.

A Polite Child.

Professor Sully, in an article in The
Popular Science Monthly, commenting
on the jealous regard for ceremony and
the proprieties Of behavior as seen in the
enforcement of rules of politeness by
children, cites delightful instance
that fell under his own observation as
he was walking Oh Hampstead heath.
cit was spring day, and the fat buds
of the chestnut were bursting into mag
nifcent green plumes. Two we'll dressed
misses, aged, I should say, about 9
and II, were taking their correct morn
ing walk. The elder called the attention
of the younger to one Of the trees, point
ing to it. The younger exclaimed in a
highly shocked tone, oh, Maud, you
know you shouldn't point' The notion
of perpetrating rudeness on the chest
nut tree was funny enough. But the in
cident is instructive as illustrating the
childish tendency to stretch and gener-
alize rules to the utmost"

Recently she has been carrying on
campaign In Cape Colony which has for
1t object the enlistment Of the women

ried a member of parliament named
KrOnwright, but as he regards her as
the more prominent member of the

name to his, and now they are known
as Mr.. and Mrs. KrOnwright-Schrein
She is now engaged in making speeches,
writing articles, and carrying on what
South Africa has named a ''petticOat"
campaign, with the help Of her hus-
band and women in South Africa, to
keep Cecil Rhodes out of the governing
business. There are few newspapers
to assist her. The editors call Rhodes
a villain and a tyrant. Rhodes, be-
fore his downfall, bothered them by not
paying any attention to them. They
did not own many shares of mining
stock.

is largely responsible for the present

EASY COME, EASY GO.

The man who creeps along bent over,
with his spinal column feeling in condi-
ton to snap like a pipestem at any min
ute, would readily give great deal to get
out of his dilemma, and yet this is only
the commonest form by which lumbago
seizes on and twists out OF shape the mus

as backache, crick in the back, but by
whatever name it may be known, and how

caught, it may be wondered at why there
is not more of 1t, but because it is so easily

reason that we hear SO little of it.

Omen Car Windows.

A correspondent writing Of open car
windows and the disagreeable draft
from the same suggests that screens
similar to those used in sleeping cars be
provided for coach windows, and that
only trainmen be allowed to place or re-
move them. A lady writing to the same
paper suggests original tactics by the
person annoyed:
''Simply raise your umbrella OR para
sol in front of you, SO that the wind,
cinders, dust and smoke blow from your
umbrella on the back of the neck Of the
person who sits by the window in front
Of you. A very few minutes suffice to
convince this person that the wind is
blowing harder than he thought and
is very disagreeable and uncomfortable.
So down goes the window, and also the
umbrella, with quiet smile Of graft
tude and content, with the result of self
protection. New York Tribune.

The Skeleton Tower Planned for Outer
Diamond Shoa1.

Dla SuOdfs
One of the greatest engineering feats
of the day is to be attempted by the
Lighthouse Board. For years the off,
GERS in charge of lighthouses have talk
ed of a station on Outer Diamond shoal,
a particularly dangerous point off Cape
Hatteras, celebrated among mariners
for its fearful storms.
The structure is to stand in about 80
feet of water, and will be supported on
disk piles sunk 80 feet in the sand. The
floor of the watch house will be AZ feet
above high water. Forged steel Will
be used in the main structure, and the
principal Joints and connections will be
of steel castings. The essential parts
below the water line will be Of massive
dimensions.
The structure will be Of the skeleton
style, and therefore will leave the sea
full play. The section which will be
most affected by the force Of the waves
Is that extending from 13 feet below
the water line to II feet above, and IN
this section a system Of framing Will
be used which will be at once strong,
simple and rigid. The house for the
lonely keepers and the stores and the
room for fog signals apparatus are to
be of iron or steel and will be hreprooI.
A boat will swing from an arm, so that
the keepers may abandon the place II
there Is likelihood of the structure be-
ing demolished.
Whether Hatteras and its dangerous
outer shoal are to be guarded by
lighthouse built on the plan of the light
house board or simply by an inexpen-
sive light vessel, probably will depend
