WOMEN IN LIGHTHOUSES
4 Life That Is Not At All Desirable
BrnYe Ida Lewis,

Brave Ida Lewis.
If life in lighthouse is so monoto-
nous to men that it sometimes 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 lighthouse keepers are
able to have their wives with them. In
ightships or in lighthouses not on
shore the presence of wives and families
is forbidden by the lighthouse board
regulations, and in such cases the mar
ried men have home for their families
at the nearest available point on the
mainland.
stances the life of woman in a light
house is 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 calm and storm.
Woman long ago found warm spot
in the landsman's heart because of her
talents as 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 a lighthouse
keeper.
Ida Lewis, whose heroism in Newport
harbor many years ago, when she put
off in boat alone in a tempestuous
storm from the lighthouse of which her
father was the keeper, will always be
remembered, has 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 take charge of the lights
that warn and guide 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 year, and the rest of the
time he has to tend to the housekeep-
ing himself. The two assistants have
their wives with them and their young
est children.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A SparrOw's Ride in n Fly Wheel.

A SparrOv's Ride in n Fly Wheel.
Birds have all sorts of queer adven-
lures, but perhaps what was the oldest
one of recent days is that which befell
a sparrow at Anderson, Ind. Itflew in
tc knife and bar factory, and, getting
too near a small wheel, was sucked in.
The workingmen noticed it go into the
wheel, but knowing that the cylinder
was revolving at a speed of 100 revolu-
tons a minute, took it for granted that
the bird had been killed. When the
factory shut down at noon the men
were astonished to hear gentle chirp
from the wheel, and 10, there was the
sparrow as well as ever. They found
that the bird had chung to the strength
ening rod of the wheel and was in a
semi-dazed condition. They picked
him up and put him on a table, and
thence, after collecting his wits, the lit
tie bird flew to freedom. The wheel
in which the bird rode made 81, 900 rev.
olutions while it was upon it, and so
the tiny feathered creature Travelled
seventy-three and eight-tenths miles in
the embrace of a flying wheel.-Cleve-

DISEASE IN THE OYSTER.
The Bivalve Il Fond of Typhoid Be
ID f45 sS25sE 81 S,Hl1l L,

GILL. Tr
The opinion of celebrated writer on
medicinal subjects is that the oyster
mus go if the hitherto consumer would
feel reasonably secure Of his health.
The writer goes on to show that more
than 20 years ago, while he was pursu-
ing postgraduate course of study in
biology, he discovered that drop of
oyster juice contained millions of
putrefacted bacteria. Since that
time he has never eaten an oys-
ter. His opinion is that crea-
ture whose diet consists of the
offal of the ocean, dining upon material
so filthy and noxious in character that
it requires unceasing activity of a liver
constituting nearly one-half of the bulk
of it's body to protect it from impending
death, can under no circumstances be
fit for use as a human aliment. In the
article referred to it is shown how a
case of typhoid fever in the family Of
the prince of Wales several years ago.
was traced directly to the use of the
oyster as food. The health officer of
Dublin about ten years ago traced an
epidemic of typhoid fever to the same
source. The British Medical journal
has given much attention to this sub
ject and reaches the conclusion to which
nearly all bacteriologists have come,
that where shell fish have been sub
iected to contamination those partak-
ing of such shell fish are exposed to the
grave danger of infection.
Two or three years ago an epidemic
of typhoid fever in Wesleyan university
at Middletown, Conn.,, was traced direct
~ to the use of oysters that had been
fattened at the mouth of drain, which
ferer from typhoid fever had died. A
fact worth repeating in connection with
this incident is that among those stu
dents who eschewed raw oysters, eat
ing only those that had been thoroughly
cooked, there was no typhoid. Nearly
all those, however, who partook of the
raw material suffered and several died.
In answer to the suggestion that un-
wholesome oysters can be prevented by
seeing to it that oyster beds are main
tanned where there is no sewage, the
writer insists that to be successful oy-
ster beds must generally be located
about the mouths of rivers and near
some large city so that contamination is
the rule, not the exception. The Ian
guage of the British Medical Journal
in treating of this subject is:
''The oyster is fond of typhoid bacilli.
1t eats them as tidbit. It will not
miss a chance of swallowing millions
of the mischief making germs if the OPP
portunity is afforded and such an op-
portunity is sure to come to every oy-
ster that lives long enough. Indeed,
this is the very business for which ma
ture designed the oyster so it cannot be
censured for it's activity in collecting
typhoid bacilli and other germs."'
The conclusion of the whole matter as
drawn by the writer is that the only
safety is to discard the oyster from our
bill of fare altogether, that it may be
wholesome and proper food for cor
morants, fish hawks and turkey buz-
yards, but that the human stomach was
never intended to be sepulcher for
scavengers no matter whether marine
or mundane.-ModernM Medicine.

HOW JACK TAR GULLEO.

Singular Credullty of the Men Who
Sail the Ocean Blue.
II would sooner face 20 hurricanes in
the open sea- said Capt. McMullen, OF
the British ship Battle Abbey, which ar
rived recently from Calcutta, ''than the
hurricane of nuisances that assail my
ship every time cast anchor at Quar-
antine here.
''The greatest source of annoyance
have IN mind at present is the sailor
runner He makes his living out of the
weaknesses and necessities of the poor
seaman. He is usually employed by
some sailors clearinghouse keeper.
and his business is to board incoming
vessels for the purpose of soliciting pat
ronage for the clearinghouse he rep
resents.
''The competition among them ap-
pears to be sharper in New York than at
any other ports have visited. AS soon
as the ship reaches Quarantine she is
besieged by a swarm of these runners,
who come out in small boats and clam
Der aboard. If sailor accepts a card
from one of them it is generally under
stood that he must go to that house, and
none of the other runners bother him.
"Although my crew has signed arti-
cles to remain with me for three years.
most of the men will have deserted the
ship within few days of her going to
the dock. Sailors as rule are easily
gulled. The runner usually carries d
large bottle of bad whisky, which he
offers to his prospective victim. After
rartaking literally of the liquor Jack
Tar loses all distrust. He believes all
the fairy tales told him, some of which
even child would discredit, and by all
manner of arguments is finally induced
to desert the ship.
"Sometimes the sailors get the cap-
tain's consent and with it the wages
due them, and sometimes they don't. At
any rate they fall into the hands of the
runners and then their troubles begin.
''The first thing the runner does is to
get Jack a new berth. The skipper of
the ship, as is customary, gives the
sailor $50 or $50 of his wages in advance.
This money passes through the hands
of the runner, and the portion of it that
Jack finally gets is hardly enough to
get drunk with. Then he sails penniless
and bound for long voyage, and when
he reaches port he goes through the
same thing over again."-N. Y. Journal.
