WOMEN IN LIGHTHOUSES.
A Life That II Not At All Desirable le

A Life That II Not At All Desirable
Brave Ida Lewis.
II life in lighthouse is so monoto-
nous to men that it Ometimes drives
them mad, what must it be to the hun
dreds of wives and daughters who spend
their years in the lighthouse along the
ocean and lake coasts of this country?
Not all the ligb t2souse keepers are
able to have their wives with them. In
lightships or in lighthouses not on
shore the presence ofSives and families
is forbidden by the Lighthouse board
regulations, and in such cases the mar
ried men have q home for their families
at the nearest available point on the
mainland.
Under the most favorable circum-
| stances the life of woman in light
house II not to be envied, and house
keeping isn't fun.
A great many of the keepers are mar
ried, and whenever possible they like
to have their wives and families with
them to keep them company in their
lonely vigils and long night watches
during cnlm and storm.
Woman long ago found q warm spot
n the landsman's heart because of her
talents as a light housekeeper, and she
has won a warm place in the heart Of
| the mariner because of her faithfulness
| and heroism, demonstrated in more
| than one instance, as lighthouse
keeper.
| Ida Lewis whose heroism in Newport
harbor many years ago, when she put
off in boat alone in q tempestuous
storm from the ligh thouse of which her
father was the keeper, will always be
remembered. has a worldwide fame,
but she is not the only female light
house keeper. In fact, she is only one
of the score of good women and true
who hold such places under the govern
ment and whose fidelity to that service
ranks favorably with that OF the men.
In addition to Ida Lewis, whose name
now is Wilson, there are about 20
women who lake charge Of the lieSss
that warn and gaide seamen all round
Uncle Sans extensive coasts.
The lighthouse keeper at Fire island.
the first light sighted by incoming
European steamers, is a widower,
whose daughters come from Long
Island and take turns keeping house for
him for half a year, and the rest of the
time he has to tend to the housekeep-
ing himself. The two assistants have
their wives with them nnd their young
est chNdren.-San Francisco Chronicle.

should be given to DR.. Allan McLane

the Medical society Of London in May

DANGERS OF NERVES.
BY which the Women of To-day Are

Besef.
It used to be q matter of faith, years
ago, that we possessed nerves, for we
were unconscious of them. Nowadays,
however, they have become of most
vital importance; they are, 80 to speak,
household pets" 1t seems that Item
per" has gone out of fashion; SO far, at
least, as we are concerned, and, though
it is possible to admit that our neigh
bors may suffer from attacks of temper.
we never do-no, we have nerves"
There 10 a sort of necessary dignity
about the possession Of nerves, though
we own they cause us trouble. We
speak in quite reproachful way OF "a
woman who has no nerves." just as II
this meant the same as that she is with
out refinement and tenderness.
Nerves are, however, dangerous pets,
for they are apt to become our masters.
Indeed, to nerves are ascribed the un-
wholesome craving for excitement, the
morphia habit and the excessive use
of stinlulants among women, as well as
a variety of other evils. Nerves, no
doubt, would be kept in check better II
only we were simpler. Japanese wom-
en- are charmingly serene and good
tempered, and their freedom from nerv-
GUS troubles may be largely ascribed
to the absence of small worries in mat
tcrs domestic. They are saved worries
about dress, for the fashion OF their
costume never varies, and the absence
of draperies and crowds of ornaments
economies money and greatly saves
labor, as any housekeeper could tell
who knows the fret and irritation of
keeping these things pretty and free
from dust in an "under servanted" es-
tablishment.-Boston Budget.

will have, after paying for it, $3.50
left, and every gallon thereafter

money she should put away in the
