HIGH SCHOOL RECEPTION.
Teachers and Students have their
Annual Social Reunion.

The third annual reception of the
Red wood Falls high school was cell
.ebrated last Friday evening at g. A..
r. hall, and was attended by nearly
all the high school students and
teachers except Supt. Jones and a
few students who were unable to
be present. on account Of illness.
The eomrait tee on nenter ertainne
Supt. Tones and Misses Nettie Cof-
fee and Melissa Persons had pre-
pared a short musical and literary
program, which allowed plenty Of
time for games and social features.
A pleasant innovation was the ex-
change of large autograph cards
provided by the committee, whereby
each person attending was able to
carry away the autographs of all the
others on a single card.
Meanwhile the committee on re
freshments introduced their pro
gram, which was greeted with the
usual manifestations Of applause.
Misses Gretchen Hitchcock, Bessie
BoWers'and Mary Thune constituted
the committee, and the high school
boys were unanimously of the opin-
ion that the committee as well as its
viands looked nice enough to eat.

BIRD AND HRBOR DAY
April 10Th the Day set Apart for
Trees and Birds.


To THE EDIToR For Len years
i have been pleading for the observ-
ance Of Arbor Day. At least one
good tree an elm, an ash, or a box
elder SHOULD be planted On every
school ground by the school. So

but thev have been poorly planted.
They have been too small or have.
been too weak. The hot dry winds
|of July or ugust, when schools are
no longer il session, have been too
much for IL planted trees. Or again,
some steer or team has ruthlessly
trampled them to death. But the
trees should be planted.
Some public spirited man in each
lschool district should see to it that
at least one good tree is this year
planted and SO planted that it will
live. The task is not difficult. And
comes a call from the State that we

Late Thursday afternoon, the last
day on which bills could be passed,
and at the very earliest moment that
Senator Somerville could reach the
bill, the matter came up for consid-
GRAFTON. And this bill was reached
on the agreement that each senator
was to call up one house bill for con-
sideration, the roll call being the
order in which the senator's would
be allowed TO call up bills. When
e was reached Senator Lord Of Dodge
county one of nature S noblemen,
gave away to Senator Somerville.
who, by reason Of his name com.
mencing with an s, was near the
bottom Of the list. Mr. SomerviNes
at once called up the Larson reap
portionment bill. and after Senator
Young offered an amendment strik-
ing out the addition to Hennepin
count IS representa- tothe bill, it
was recommended to pass.
AS soon as the senate convened
that evening the calendar was taken
up and when the Larson bill was
reached Senator Somerville had very
little trouble IN getting it passed, as
amended This was about fifteen
minutes before the turbulent scene
arose in the house, that led to the
adjournment. Secretary Ilangum of
the senate used every effort u pre-
pairing his message. reporting the
bill to the house, but before he could
do so and reach the house, the mos
ton to adjourn had been carried
and pandemonium was reigning.

sometimes pit!ful to behold. They require

man whose duty 1t is to pay periodical
visits to one OF our Lighthouses confesses
that there is no remedy for the ills pecu-
liar to the keepers except retirement
The utter isolation of the silent send-
nels of our coast is well illustrated by
the case of the Bishop lighthouse afore-
mentioned, which stands right out in the
Atlantic. Not once in year is 1t calm
enough for the superintendent to land
his stores at the lighthouse steps. They
have to he hauled up by means of

enough to visit the place is "admitte
in a similar way. He places one foot
in a moose at the end of a rope, which
is thrown down to his boat, and gripping
the rope firmly above his head he is
drawn up to the "set Off" as the pliuth
round the lighthouse is called. Thence
he climbs up a perpendicular ladder to
the door OF the house.

men of Muckle Fluggs lighthouse-the
most northern point of Scotland-on the
tenterhooks of terrible suspense On
three occasions the huge black rock on
which the lighthouse stands has been
shaken by an earthquake!
There is something comical, though
characteristic of the stiff-necked Scot, in
a story which comes from a neighboring
lighthouse, which is in charge of two dit
ferent families. They live on desert ISL

never see a visitor, except the man who
brings their stores. Eighteen months ago
the heads OF the two families quarreled.

piety to add that they are not regular
attendants.
A lighthouse keeper receives a maxi
mum wage of RS a year, out of which he
has to supply his own rations. These
consist of such unappetizing edibles as

The amount to be appropriated this year

mours charge is chiefly due, exceeds the
aggregate payments on the same account
during the five years from 1879 to 1883 IN

1t is more than double the appropriation
for 1890, eleven years ago.
1t is more than double the expenditures
of the Federal government, for all pur-

War
1t is nearly equal the total expenditures
of the Federal government, excluding III
terest on the public debt, in 1871, only

1t is more than five times what the re-
public was paying for pensions in BS

LIFE IN LIGHTHOUSES.
SO Much Worse Than Prison THAI
the Light Keepers Sometimes
Lose Their Minds

rum Tue 1OnQOn MAIL.
During the storms that rage intermit-
tently around our coasts in winter the
landsmans mind turns in sympathy to-
ward those who in ship or lifeboat are
fighting the waves for dear life. But
how often does he give one thought to the
men who immune themselves in the light
houses that stud our coast line
81 would rather spend my life in penal
settlement than be a lighthouse keeper"
declared a gentleman to the writer after
visit to the Bishop lighthouse off the
Cornish coast. "A convict does see a lit
tie of the world he lives in, but a light
house keeper sees nothing but a dreary
eNpanse of water. l am not surprised
that many of them should lose their mem
tai balance"
The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse did
not oVer-color the picture. 1t was only
the other day that one read of the Long
ships lighthouse, also off the coast Of
Cornwall, having been completely isolated
for many weeks in consequence of fear
full storms. The keepers had been re-
duced to smoking coffee hops, and tea
leaves, though, fortunately, they had not
wanted for food.
The keepers of the famous Eddystone
lighthouse not infrequently find them
selves in a similar predicament In gale
the waves that buffet themselves against
this wonderful monument to the engineer
ing skill of the country are of such stu
pendous magnitude that they rise to
height Of 200 feet and sweep right over the
lantern. To those cooped up inside the
sound Of these waves is like that of a bat
terry of guns at close quarters. AT such
times the house shakes like tree with
a man on the top of it," was the graphic
description of one who spent many years
of his life there.
The new Eddystone is the roomiest and
most comfortable of all our rock light
houses. A sectional view shows the va
rious compartments commencing at the
bottom with the water tank then the en-
trance, the two oil receptacles, the store
room. the crane, the living apartment the
low light. the bedroom, and the service
room. Formerly only two keepers were
employed in the lighthouse, but a grim in
cident resulted in their number being in
creased. one Of the two men died So
fierce ran the seas that the remaining
keeper could not get the body of his late
comrade to the shore. For a month the
tempestuous weather continued. and for a
month the surviving keeper lived alone I'm
that solitary place with the body as hts
only companion! He was afraid to cast Il
into the waves, for he might be accused
Of murder.

The beginning of the twentieth century
was marked with such a renewed activity,
or at least so pronounced an activity in
ALI religious work of the Christian
churches, that some figures showing the
extent and magnitude of the work of
Christian religious bodies will be of un-
doubted interest.
Though there are quite a number of
denominations and sects that are not rep
resented in Savannah, this city is excep-
tionally we'll provided with churches and
they are all in prosperous condition;
are in the great majority of cases free
from debt, and able to pay in full not
only the annual running and incidental
expenses, but also the assessments i'm
posed for the various departments of
work, such as the foreign and domestic
missions, the support of hospitals and de-
nominatonal educational institutions,
literature and similar outgoes. In every
regard in the quality, value and number
OF their buildings, and the extent and eff
cacy of their work, Savannah churches
will compare favorably with those of any
other city of similar size.
OF greatest interest. because of the
magnitude of the sums involved, are the
expenses of the Christian churches of the
world.
