WOMEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS
An Occupation for Which the 0sntisr Sex ls Emtnent1y
 Adapted,

Keeping lighthouse is essentially womanly work. A we'll regulated woman takes pride in bright. we'll kept things and orderly surroundings. Her heart leaps up when she beholds the perfection of Heavens first law, says Mary Nimmo Balentine. in Wom- ans Home Companion.
 The orderly woman can have a pro- gramme of work for the week just like any other housekeeper, although keeping lighthouse is not light housekeeping. by any manner of means. In some lighthouses days are set aside for sewing, for burnishing the lamps for reading and writing, some of the keepers having an exten- sive respondenee; and. if you please. there are reception days, for a rule of the board enjoins the keep CTS to show the light and the station to sightseers. Lighthouse life cannot be d. T to lover of such responsive friends as books and music. And so the identity of the tall. grim light tower is lost in the home under the wooing influence of the social and domestic atmosphere of the woman behind the lamp.

"Tarry Thou Till I Come. :"

 by Geo. Croly, .Christ's words to whom, "Tarry Thou Till Come, v spoken beneath the weight of the cross to the scoffing Pharisee, sets the Jew wandering. Most notable followers of this story were Eugene Sues masterpiece, The Wander ing Jew, and The Prince of In dia," by the author of Ben Hur.

A Woman's Inventioa.

When an alarm of fire is rung up in any of our large cities, and the en- zines of but one district are called out, there is an expense to the depart ment for fuel and wear and tear of the apparatus estimated at SloO per alarm. The turning in of false alarm is therefore no tritiing matter, and the perpetrator of the joke mer- it's condemnation. Miss Ellen F, lNo. dale. London woman, has patented an invention which iS meant to check
 the false alarmist and put an end to his perniciouS activity. The contriy- ance takes the form of an automatic alarm post which not only rings np the fire station. hut also grips the wrist of the aarmist with steel bracelet, blows a police whistle and presents the man with shilling Tor his trouble The prisoner cannot be released until policeman arrives and the authenticity of the alarm can be verified. The invention is not likely
 to become popular in this country, where men would not be willing to be chained to post in public street, even for the magnificent compensation of 23 eents-scientitic American.

WOMEN WHO ANSWER "ADS."
There Are Some Who Do It ns a Pas time, According to This Mans
 Experience.

I've actually got so that dread to advertise for female employees, said the manager of an art store, to d New York sun man. If it was pos sible to get through the work myself I'd rather do it than to interview a mob of feminine callers.
 ITO select good assistant didn't use to be such a big job as it is now. For one thing, there were not form erly so many triters. You would be surprised to know how many women answer advertisements for help who do not want employment and neither could nor would take it if it was of to them at a good salary. They are what l call professional advertise ment answerers.
 "I had occasion to advertise only last week for clerk, and as pro tection against these nuisances, l stated that no professional callers need apply. Yet they came, at least a dozen of them. Fortunately, I've got so l can spot them on short mo- tce. and don't fool away much time on them.
 When the unqualified callers first began to besiege me in such numbers l was under the impression that the regular rounders were the repre- sentatives of agencies who wished to get us on their list and furnish their own applicant on commission, but was mista aken in this, for while a few of the professionals are connected, most of them pursue the fad on their own accord It is without doubt the -raziest hobby womankind has ever ridden. and my only hope is that they will soon run down.
 "A goodly percentage of these idlers are social reformers who are bent on writing books and tracts and things. Somewhere they have i'm bibed the idea that men who employ help are regular vampires, ever on the lookout for new victims, and their object in visiting us is to investigate our methods of securing clerks and afterward acquaint the public with our evil procedures.
 But can stand even these trouble some spies with even more equanim- ity than the woman who, finding time hang heavily on their hands. tramp around from office to office for the fun of the thing"

REJECTED TWENTY-ONE TIMES
Manuscript of "Helen's Rabies" Re- eeived Very Poor Treatment Be-
 fore Final Accsptancs

The manuscripts of various sucs cessful books have been declined ty publishers before finally reaching a resting place: but when one consid- CTS the natural fallibiity of judg- ment regarding the matter of popu- lar taste and liking, it is really not extraordinary that new writers should quite often make success in one publishers hands even although others have hesitated to make the venture.
 A short time ago 6 young author whose book had just been accepted was talking to his publisher. and Mir. John Habberton. the genial aut hor of "Hellen's Ba abes," happened to be present, says the Literary Era. The publisher finally turned to the young writer, saying: Your book has one great element of weakness, which. however, hope may not be fatal"
 What is that2" replied the startled youth. with almost a gasp of cons ter ration.
 Well, it has been rejected by enough publishers; it takes at least four or five rejections to make a phe- nomenallv successful book"
 The puzzled look of dismay on the young mans face gave way to 6 smile as his critic turned to the vet eran author at his side and asked: "Wasn't that the case with Helen ; Babies"
 MT Habberton, with the courtly bow which his friends know so well, and which is only one of his many charms, promptly responded: Tt was ,actat timaS "

ONLY ONE WHISTLE.
How the Rural Attorney Obtained Damages for Hfs Client
 from the Railroad.

In the early days of the railroad in Michigan there was a farmer who owned two well-bred and useful dogs, named Major and Tige, says Golden Days. On a certain morning the dogs chased a stray hog down the main road. and on the return trip stopped to play at the railroad crossing. Needless of the conspicuous warning to look out for the locomotive, Tige was struck by that engine of destruc- tion and killed, Major escaping by sheer dog luck. Damage suits were a new thing at the time. so when the owner of the dogs commenced an ac- ton before rural justice of the peace there was an immense crowd of neighbors present at the hearing, The engineer swore that he gave one sharp blast of the whistle as he ap- preached the crossing. It looked as though the railroad company was to go scot free. but the attorney for the farmer knew his business also the justice. Your honor" he said. "it is required by the statutes in such cases made and provided, that when any person or domestic animal is up on railroad and seen by the en- gineer, he must sound his whistle In this instance, your honor, there were two domestic animals innocently playing on the track, and the whistle was sounded but once. when it is a positive legal requirement that it should have been blown twice-once for each dog" So convincing was this argument that the country justice would not even give the railroad at torney hearing, and awarded the plaintiff the full amount of damages sued for.

Admiral Schley placed his arrival Off
Cienfuegos at near midnight OF May
Dist. He told of hearing guns early
that evening while still thirty OF forty
miles distant from the Cuban port.
Describing this incident he said:
Toward shutdown of that afternoon
I was standing on the bridge of the
Brooklyn and distinctly heard SIX or
seven guns fred with the cadence OF
salute. The fact of hearing these guns
was undoubted, so much SO rnat the Of
ficer of the deck spoke OF it, | nap
pened to be there at the time.
He said that the fleet stopped for the
night ten or twelve miles off shore on
Cienfuegos, and that he had sent the
Scorpion ahead of the fleet as a patrol,
and that toward daylight on the follow
ing morning, May 9th, all the ships
had steamed in close to the harbor en-
trance.
"My recollection now is" he said,
chat we went within mile and look
ed at the harbor. But owing to the
hills and other Instructions 1t was i'm
possible to see into the harbor.
Never Saw Any Smoke Stacks
and / was very close watcher on deck,
generally from eight o'clock in the
morning until IL or / O'Clock at night.
There was scarcely circumstance OF
any kind that escaped me-"
The Admiral said that after this in
spection of the harbor he had taken
position with the feet three or four
miles out.
81 generally" he said, gave the po-
sition that the squadron was from the
beach by the appearance of the surf.
which ordinarily is not seen beyond
six miles except at very great eleva-
tion."
At 9 o'cloc Of the evening of the 22d
the torpedo boat Dupont, the Admiral
said, arrived with dispatch from Adj
miral Sampson. The dispatch referred
to was the Dear Schley'' letter. Re-
ferring to this dispatch the witness
said 81 did not remember the fact until
within the past few months because
