vaux, Joseph Wood and Edmund Tannatt
The work of the commission went stead
lily on, and the lighthouse was put In con-
dluon and lasted for many years. In the
storm of battle and the onslaught of sue
cessive seasons and varying weather, il
remained as the guiding star to Georgia
Tor TINS was the only port of importance
in those days.
There seems to be little record Of the
history of the lighthouse subsequent 10
the time mentioned but IL is fair to as
sumo that the lighthouse which Ogle-
thorpe built remained pretty much as he
had left II until the great conflict arose
between this country and Great Britain.
II Is but reasonable to conclude that the
light that shone off Tybee was the hone
OF the state In those days, as well as the
friendly guide of all storm tossed vessels
The lighthouse In those days was. of
necessity, crude make-shift. Nothing Is
known as 10 how the light was kept go-
ing, whether one man was stationed there
or two or three or whether Il was re-
quired OF the lighthouse keeper TO sit up
win the lamp all night, as though II were
a sick friend.
The law and system OF maintaining the
United States coast lights to-day are very
strict, and the requirements OF the Light
mouse service are such as insure a perfect
plan OF carrying on this most needml
Ing trade and commerce and tho saving
OF human life.
There IL particular interest In a VISIT 20

the TACT that the work OF building the new
tortihcauons right beneath the tower is

shadow Of the great light.

tossed by the fury of the sea at night,
and kept in suspense until the rays from
the lighthouse appear-even under these
circums tances there seems something sor-
rowful in the picture along with the
friendly greeting, II sends out in its white
light like a peaceful benediction. And
when aboard a departing ship one looks
back and sees the lights along the shore
fading into darkness there is something
peculiar in the feeling that comes over
him. Particularly true is this in the case
Of a revolving light which shows a red
fash one moment and then white and
keeps on alternating in sort of monoto-
nous dutiful way, as If to warn the sea-
man OF the tickle changes of old Neptune.

up the river to make a thorough inspection
of the new lighthouse.
The history of the old lighthouse
built by Oglethorpe is full of inter-
est. In the musty records of the journal!
of the assembly of the Georgia colony IS
an act passed March Z, 1875, to raise a
fund for maintaining the Tybee light
This law stipulated the fees that should
be collected from all ships which entered
the port Of Savannah Every ship was
charged 27 skillings and 6 pence. every
"snow-brig polacre, or sactia" was taxed
2 shillings and 6 pence, every sloop or
schooner was relieved of a fee of from Is
to II shillinss, according to the tonnage.
THIS Jaw was TO be effective tJr three
years. When it became nuH and void by
expiration It was renewed on the statute
books ~ the approval OF the representa-
tives of he kingdom of Great Britain.

Conatablea, staves in the Past.

The home secretary, Sir Matthew
White Ridley, has just secured from
Northampton two relics of the past that
are peculiarly associated with the de-
pdTtment Of the state, of which he Is
minister. These are two slaves, at
once the badges and instruments of
Office Of the village constables Of long
ago, when mems lives were consider
ed Of less account than they are now
The staff Of those days, probably 200
years ago, was a formidable, not to say
bloodthirstry, instrument of offense.
l have been able to obtain one of the
same sort. Mine was formerly the
property Of the parish constable Of
Brington, England. 1t consists Of two
parts-truncheon, or handle, lathe
turned, ten inches long, and sphere,
three inches in its longest and two and
a quarter in its shortest diameter.
Both handle and ball are Of lockwood.
They are united by strong double
thong Of white leather, fastened by
iron pegs into apertures bolted into
both handle and ball. The ball has
two inches OF play on the leather, SO
that from end to end the instrument
is fifteen inches long. AS the ball
hangs loosely about the straight han
die some degree Of force is required to
bring 1t into action; but when this is
done the execution the weapon ia
capable Of is something dreadful. A
moderate blow cannot be struck by
it; with very little exertion on the
part Of the holder mans head, leg or
arm would be very easily broken. No
doubt some such powerful weapon was
required in the good old times

that in the vaults of the Bank of Eng

which are unknown. Investigation
has shown that the heirs to some Of
these treasures are alive, but that
through some cause or another the eN-

or forgotten. A strange story is told
Of the discovery in the bank some
years ago of u chest which was so old
that when moved it fell to pieces, The
contents Of the box were found to be
a quantity of massive plate Of the time
of Charles H., and bundle OF old love

Search was made and the descendant
OF the original owner was found, to

wondera About SKIN Pores.

Each square inch of the human skin
con tains no less than $500 sweating
tubes or perspiration pores. Each of
these tubes, although wonderfully
minute, is about one-fourth OF an inch
in length. Each of these sweat tubes
may be likened to tiny drain tile.
We find that the average adult has
about 1000 square inches OF skin on
the surface of his body. Each square
inch of this outer cuticle is, as we have
said, literally permeated with its $500
quarter-inch perspiration bitches IL
we could put each of these little tubes
end to end we would find that they
would extend distance of not less
than 2O1, 1866 feetl Had you ever be-
fore stopped to consider the fact that
the aggregate length of the tile bitches
for draining the human body is almost
forty miles?
