A FAMOUS LIGHTHOUSE.
[Froin the chautauquan.l


The most famous lighthouse on the
Pacific coast is that of Tillamook Rock,
70 miles south of the mouth Of the Col
umbia river, Oregon. The rock is go feet
above the sea, yet at the time Mr.. Lord
made one of his photographs a wave
was breaking through a, crevasse and
hurting its spray higher than the sum-
NIT. On this day it was too rough for
the Columbine's boat to make a landing
Coal for the station had to be hoisted
in net sings. and the keeper had to be
lowered in a cage or basket and, Sus-
pended in naidair over the sea, report on
the condition of himself and his assist
ants, as they were short Of provisions,
most of the supply having been destroy
ed during a storm.
From the side of the rock a heavy sea,
at the height of this storm. tore off two
pieces raging Sc pounds and hurled
them upon the roof of the keepers dwell
ling. With the weight of the water these
fragments made a hole &c feet in area
in the roof, flooded the building to a
depth of over five feet and washed out
two walls, throwing three rooms into
one, an Improvement for which the
keepers We're not especially grateful
Pieces of rock puntured the iron roof in
IS places. Although the focal plane of
the lantern is 1876 feet above the sea lev
Ell, eleven panes of glass three feet long
and three-eighths of an inch thick were
knocked in by pieces of rock, which went
through the lantern, and the water put
out the light. The building has now been
raised six feet and a thick concrete roof
has been laid on heavy steel Orders

LAVENDER AND LINEN.



One looks vainly in the modern gar
den for that sweet lavender corner
which was the special care of our grand
mothers.
1t is only in very old-time garden
that the lavender bush is allowed to
grow apace. Up-to-date gardeners call
IT "a weed" and ruthlessly~ root it up
from the little nook where it and it's
forbears have fiourished for two or three
centuries Nowadays we buy our laven-
der desiccated by machinery, in ma
chine-stitched bags, made by contract
The old-fashioned woman cultivated
the lavender bushes herself and sewec
up the sweet sprigS in home made little
ers in the sun, set aside the largest and
finest to make dainty, fragrant baths
for her baby, and laid her linen IL
lavender" with hOusewifely hands.
This delicious home grown lavender
dried out of doors is not in the least like
that in the modern bags we buy at the
chemists shop.
Machine-ma lavender loses most of
its fragrance in the factory A few
sprigS of home-prepared lavender put
among the winter clothing are strong
enough to keep all moths from a ward
robe. But the modern moth is wise
enough to scorn the modern lavender.
A dozen fowery heads scalded with a
teacupful of boiling water is a delicious
and refreshing addition to a bath. 1t
would take a pound of bought sprigs
to produce the same result.
The joy Of the sleeping between laven-
der-scented sheets is a rare Indulgence
only met with in a few old-fashioned
houses. For housewives of today do not
love their linen as our dear old grand
mothers did, who had spun every thread
of it themselves.
There was a great deal of charm about
the life of an old-time country house
wife with her lavender and her home
spun linen.
She grew crops of roses for the tall
potpourri jars which ornamented her
parlor, and with still-room skill pro-
duced her Recommendations tea rose
scents and lavender water from flowers
of her own growing.
Nowadays a wOman'S houSewifery is
largely condensed into writing out a
complete stores list
Doubtless in the near future a bride
groom will order a house on wheels,
ready furnished as per estimate from
a universal contractor.
1t will be stocked with linen and laven-
der water-by contract at so much
head for each of the family. And it will
be dreadfully uninteresting, but thor
oughly up to date.

CURED BY PRAYER.
Apparently Miraculous Relief of an
Indiana Woman.

Binghamton, N. Y, Sept. S.-The mir
aculous cure of Mrs. J. H. Stillwen, of
Vernon, Ind, at Scranton, Pa, has caused
a widespread sensation in two states
Mrs. Stillwell, while visiting in Scran-
ton, fell, injuring her spine. She became
helpless and suffered intensely. Physi-
clans in charge of the case said all they
could do would be to temporarily relieve
the pain, and that her days were num-
bered Upon this announcement she
sent for Rev. James Deishman, of this
city, and Rev. f. H. Swift, of Philadel-
phia, asking them to pray with her. The
clergymen offered an earnest prayer for
her recovery, and while it was in pro-
gress she distinctly heard voice in the
room saying, Arise leave thy bed and
walk" She thereupon arose from the
bed and walked about the room, the pain
instantly ceasing. She is apparently in
ordinary health, walks about the streets
and will return to Vernon the last of this
month

At Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo Mich Sept. S.-Governor
Roosevelt's special arrived here at noon
and long line of marches accompanied
by two bands escorted the governor to
the city park. The candidate spoke from
the same stand which Col. Bryan occu-
pied during his visit here during the last
campaign Col. W. T. Durbin and Capt.
Gibson, Republican candidates respec-
lively for governor and lieutenant COVER
nor of Indiana met the Roosevelt train
and accompanied it to South Bend.
During the so minute stop here, Con-
gresham William Alden Smith, Wash
ington Gardner and Colonel Bliss ad-
dressed the large audience following the
date.
Governor Roosevelt spoke as follows:
'Our opponents only hope to win by
getting men in different sections of the
country who utterly disbelieve in one
another, to vote the same ticket, hop
ing that no great harm will come in
consequence.
Il mean that literally, for in this con-
test appeal not merely to Republicans,
but | appeal to all men whether they
have been Republicans or Democrats in
the past to stand with us now, because
we stand for principles and the policy
and the policies which are essential, not
merely to the well being, but to the
honor and renown of the nation. Some
of our opponents, especially in the east,
say that they are down on free silver
but they want to support Mr.. Bryan be-
cause they don't think he believes in it
either. But at the same time when you
get far enough west, they are loudly
shouting that they believe in it just as
much as they ever did,

DRAFT REACHES AMERICA.
Japan Calls Her Men Back for Army
Service.

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. S.-A special to
the Tribune from Pocatello, Idaho,
says:
From information originating here it
would appear that Japan is preparing to
mobilize still larger army for her wars
in Asia. For a week past every mail
from the west brought letters from the
Japanese government to Y. Takisha. in
charge Of Japanese laborers on the
Oregon Short Line, instructing him to
return certain of his men for service
in the army, and under these orders a
number of men have left for Japan.
1t appears that the demand has sud
denly become urgent, for yesterday five
cablegraIns were received by Takfsha,
all dated Yokohama, September 6, and
two more today bearing today's date, all
relating to the quick return of men,
There are about 1900 Japanese in the
service OF the Oregon Short Line and
while Mr.. Takisha is not prepared to
say how many will be drafted by his
government, he anticipates a heavy re-
ducfiOn of this account.

WEAR HATS IN CHURCH.
Lansing Priest Believes That ST. Paul
Tells Them to Do So.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. S.-Rev. Father
Brancheau. rector of ST. Mary's church
of Lansing, believes that ST. PauPs adj
monition to the Corinthians that Every
woman that prayeth or prophesieth
with her head uncovered dishonoreth
her head; for that is even all one as If
she were shaven" means that it is
Gods law and the rules of the church
for a woman to come hatless to church.
The appearance of two women with
out hats at a recent service has caused
Father Brancheau to announce from the
pulpit that repetition will force him
to request the Offenders to retire from
the church or put on their hats.
