Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.

One day 80 years ago it was reported
to the Trinity board, which has charge
of all the lights on the coast of Great
Britain, that a shOal had made in the
English channel about nine miles due
east of the Lizard. At the spot indi-
Gated there had been 30 fathoms Of wa
ter ever since a British ship went to
sea, and the board of course argued
that there had been a mistake. 1t was
a fishing craft which reported the shoal
and found only IA feet of water over
it, and a craft was sent out at once to
make an official investigation. What
had happened was this: 1t was bowl
der strewn bottom, and two or three
old wrecks had drifted together and
piled up on each other until a danger
GUS obstruction had been formed. 1t
was as if a great rock had suddenly
been heaved up from the bottom, and
the board must guard against the dan
ger without delay.
Thirty years ago the divers dress
was not what it is now, nor could men
handle explosives under water as to-
day. After two or three vain attempts
to clear away the wrecks the work was
left for a storm to accomplish, and
meanwhile lightship No. was moved
around from Mounts bay and anchor
ed near the spot and notice given tc
mariners. Captain Crox had been in
command of No. for two years, bav
ing three men under him, and NJ

called a reliable. steady going man,
and his men were steady. sensible fell
lows. The change was not one to re-
jOice over. No. was a stout hulk of
about 800 tons burden. with comfort
able berth for crew. but out there the
water was in constant motion. and the
danger Of collision at night or during a
fog was something to harass the mind.
1t happened to be fairish weather for
the first three days. but on the fourth
gale sprang up. and the hulk was set
bouncing in q terrible way. 1t wasn't
that the sea was so heavy. but that the
waves swirled around the old wrecks
in such a way as to produce a cross sea
and a terrific tumble. and the groan-
ing, straining hulk seemed to be bob
bing about ON bed of yeast.
The watches were divided so that
two men were on duty for four hours
while the other two slept. That night
it was the captains watch from till
midnight. There was but little to be
done after the lights were displayed.
A lookout was kept. and port fires and
rockets were at hand to warn vessels
away and signal the shore. The gale
had piped up strong, with drizzle Of
rain and q dark night. and one could
not have been more uncomfortable off
the cape In a winters gale. 1t had
come 10 o'clock when a sudden hail
reached the lightship. The captain was
aft and his mate forward. but he knew
at once that the hail came from sea-
ward. 1t was not so dark but that one
could have seen a ship 300 feet away.
even though she had no lights aboard.
As soon as port fire was ignited the
sea lighted up for hundreds Of feet
around in a CHASTITY way. and both men
looked for the craft they supposed TO
be near by. They looked in vain until
the signal was nearly finished. Then a
ships yawl. driving right up In the
teeth of the gale, hove into view. She
was without mast or sail or oars, and
the only figure in her sat In the stern
sheets. and his arms and legs were
bound around with ropes. The mar
was bareheaded and dressed as lands
man, and as he drove past within 2
leet of the rail they had look square
INTO his eyes. and the agony on his

DRESSING LIE CHILD.
Have Regard For Its Feelings and
Comfort.

The recent death of Kate Greeuaway
brings to my mind the subject of chill
dren's dress. No one but those who
lived in her day can appreciate the
benefit she conferred on tiny suffering
humanity. With her clever sketches of
small men and women in artistic and
suitable costumes she entirely revolu-
tionizcd children's dress. Before that
time little boys and girls of four and
five were rugged out in ridiculous and
painfully uncomfortable limitations of
their elders. The little boys wore long
trousers and top heavy hats. The little
girls actually had their gowns made in
two pieces with tight bodiccs pinched
in at the waist and heavy gathered
skirts. 1t was thanks to Kate Green
away that one piece frocks and
guimpes came into fashion and that all
the weight of childs loosely cut gar
ment was suspended from its shoul-
ders, as it was proper that it should be.
No one but n foolish and unprogres-
sive mother will dress her children I'M
comfortably nowadays. The woman
who makes her little son ridiculous by
trickng him out in curls. buckled
shoes and a generally picturesque"
costume is way behind the times.
Neither does she succeed in her foolish
desire to make him look like an embryo
nobleman or a small multimillionaire
The children of the rich are the very
ones who are most simply dressed.

How to Treat Your cne,,

Remember, there is such a thing as
OVERRIDING the attention paid a guest. Do
not feel that you must be forever at her
elbow; do not think it necessary to plan
something fer every minute Of her day.
Nothing is more annoying. People, even
when they are visiting, like to have mo-
ments to themselves. They like to 20
places where they feel at home, and no
woman feels at home if her hostess is
continually at her hand suggesting things
Tor her amusement Nor does it conduce
to her comfort if she feels that the whole
household has been turned upside down
because OF her coming. Alice |. Eaton in

DAINTY UNDERWEAR.
The Right Way to Lace Corset
Materials For PetticOnts

Fashionable women are most par
ticuIar about their underwear. Moth
ing is too fine or too costly for the So
ciety belle. Especially does she pay
great attention to the fit of her corsets.
OF these she usually has three at
time, one for evening wear and two for
day wear, apart from any for athletic
exercises, The evening corset is often
but mere girdle of sheer batiste or
light brocade. The corsets for day
wear are Of more substantial materials.
All are low busted and are laced with
three lacings. The uppermost lacing
extends only for about five holes, the
next reaches down to below the waist

AMERICANS ROERS.

the South African war, says the New
York Herald's Washington CORES
pondent.
Great Britain has declined to COM
ply with the request of this govern
ment to release Americans now con-
fined on the island of Ceylon and this
refusal will probably prove bar to
further representations by the state
department in behalf of Americans
captured as belligerents in South At
RIGA The test case as that of nat
uralized American named Morgan,
who claims residence in Virginia. Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner
in South Africa, disapproves Of the re-
lease of foreigners who fought with
the Beers. He has announced that a
person who serves as belligeren:
with the Boer forces loses his ma
tionality and must be treated as an
enemy.
This view is concurred in b. file
legal officers of the state department.
The department is satisfied, from in
vcst:gation m, de by American consuls
and the British authorities, that all
reports that the British are ill-tr ~ tag
their prisoners are without f. m.:a
