Women Lighthouse Keepers.

From the Womans Home Companion.
 For a great many years women have occupied positions as light housekeepers until now there are few states with coastline that do not number at least one woman among their ouse-keepers, and frequently a greater number.
 The accommodations of a lighthouse station are. of course, varied. Sometimes they are simple, but in the case of the new structures they are very elaborate. In the ordinary building there are usually ser vice room. living room bedroom, oilroom and storeroom
 The first woman to act as lighthouse keeper was probably Elizabeth Smith, who in 1880 kept the light at Old Field Point, Long Island, and had full charge of it for twenty-five years Nancy Rose was appointed in November, 1857, as light house keeper to succeed her husband at Stony Point, on the Hudson River She is the first woman keeper whose appoint ment is on official record. In her seventy seventh year Mrs. Rose still climbed the ladder to the light with no uncertain step, faithfully keeping her vigil under stormy and starry skies.
 Another one of these heroines is Mrs. Martha Keeler, who has spent twenty four years in various lighthouses along the North Carolina coast. Nine years of this time she was fourteen miles from a post office and ten miles from land, but she had her birds and flowers and books, and her duties she never had time to be lone some Mrs Josephine Freeman has kept the light on Blakiston Island, near where the broad Potomac joins the bay, for twenty-five years, and Mrs. Daniel Will Hams, keeper of the light in Little Tray erse Harbor, Mich, has been in the btisi- ness for thirty-two years.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST To Hay Fever Sufferers.

Sufferers from hay fever and summer catarrh will be interested to learn that there is a new, simple, inexpensive but effective home treatment for this ob- stinate and baff1ing disease. and that a little booklet fully describing the treat ment will be mailed free to anyone by addressing the F. A. Stuart Co.,, Mar shall. Mich.
 Doubtless this statement of a cure and positive preventive of hay fever will be received with skepticism by the thousands who have found the only relief every year was a change of climate during the sum. mer months
 But whether skeptical or not it will cost nothing to investigate this new treatment. Simply send name and address on a post al card to F. A. Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich, for the booklet which besides de- scrfbing the treatment contains a concise treatise on the cause and character of this peculiar disease.

ENcLANp's TATTooINe CRAZE. Princes and Bishops Alleged to Share It-A Ladys Tattooed Eyebrows.

From the London Express.
 The tattooing craze seems to be spread ing in society circles, and there are few people whom one meets nowadays at the hest houses who have not some design indelsbly marked upon their skin.
 The. idea that the process of being tat tooed is a painful one is quite erroneous for If it were it would never have become so fashionable among society danes as 1t has done.
 As a matter of fact, you only feel slight prick now and again when you are being tattooed-that Is to say, provided the artist be skilful craftsman. During the course of chat Mr., Alfred South of Cockspur street said: For obvious reas- ons cannot give you any names, but my clients are of all classes, including Bish- ops-I did a large cross crushing dragon on the arm of one whose name Is house. hold word In everybodys mouth-members Of the aristocracy. salvationists, royal dukes princes, and foreign nobility or all countries.
 Quite large number of men in Colon ial regiments, such as Paget's Horse, Robertss Horse, and so forth, who have been invalided home have come to me to have the DduBtS Ol lucli icBihiOhto t1e7 Hooed on their arms.
 You would no doubt like to hear about what I consider to have been my most re- markable achievement It was the case of a lady who, having no eyebrows. came to me a short while ago with the some- what remarkable request that l should tattoo her in such a way as to give her the appearance of possessing dark brown eyebrows to match her hair.
 T hesitated first of all, for 1t was some what of dangerous undertaking; but in the end consented, and my client went away delighted with the result of my la bors and am proud to think that I sue ceeded so well that nobody would for moment imagine that the fine, dark-brown markings on the lady's brows were any thing else but hair"
 What will happen to the fair one when her hair turns gray should she live to that period of life, is an interesting specula- tion, for nothing can alter the color of tattoo marks. Perhaps she will find ample consolation, not to say a source of par donable pride, in the fact that she win carry about with her a permanent sou venir of the fine color of her hair In the days of her youth.
 'I have frequently been asked" said the tatooist, ito tattoo pale lips red, but though I have succeeded In supplying the appearance of the eyebrows, l have always considered the idea of meddling with lips a rule not to undertake such cases"

the first named gentleman was made President, and then the building of an op- era house and the construction of gas works was fully assured the ambitious citizens of Birmingnsm.
 A Night of Joy. At the little plant where the present gas works now stand there was Joyous crowd to witness the ffrst lighting. Cham pagne flowed as freely as did the gas. and there was feast of no small proportions. In fact it was proud and eventfuI occa- sion, for 1t seemed a step onward and upward for Birmingham. It was only a small six-inch establishment with one and half miles of mains. but 1t meant much for Birmingham for 1t was to grow to it's present great proportions
 The Old and the New.
 During the year 1886 this small plant was torn down and sixteen-inch works estab- lished in it's stead. Mains were extended in different directions, and under liberal and judicious management the demand for lights was promptly met.
 Adds Electricity.
 The Birmingham Gas and Illuminating Company added an electric light plant in 1Ss6 and the name was changed to the Birmingham Gas and Electric Light Company. This company prospered for season, but in 1890 sold out its electric de- partment to the Consolidated Company, and assumed the title of the Birmingham Gas Company. with B. F. Roden as Pres ident and F. L. Bivings Secretary and Treasurer. These gentlemen have been steadily with the company ever since, and to them Is due much credit for Its man. agement and magnificent success.
 It's Achievement.
 Today the Birmingham Gas Company has nineteen miles of mains. covering all most ahe entire populated part of the city, from Cullom's edition un the South west, to the residence of Mir. Woodward on the Southeast Highlands and as far North as Ninth avenue.
 The company has seventeen hundred metres in commission for Illuminating purposes and supplies seven hundred stoves with fuel. Each month additions and extensions are being made to the companys system of mains and pipes and 1t Is confidently expected that every section of the city corporation will be reached within. very short time, as the company has just gone into the hands of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company, which corporal ton will no doubt utilize all of the great possibil- bties under its control
 The Birmingham Gas Works is one of the most important public utilities of our city.
 MT. Timothy Byron, the present efh- ciept superintendent of the works, has been with the company for the past twelve years and to him much credit is due for the excellent. construction and management of this plant.

The liberal patronage for so long en- joyed by the Hotel Morris still continues to be bestowed by an appreciative travel ing public, and by the people of Birming- ham who deserve and enjoy the good things of this life
 It was an absolute necessity and a wise thought, which prompted the owners of this handsome and centrally located building to convert 1t, some years ago, in need then of first-class home for travellers and a place for general and fashionable entertainment. With such "a demand, and waiting, anxious and lib- eral patronage, the Morris established it's high standard of excellence at once and the same standard is maintained to this day.

 The Personnel.
 Mir. Leigh has been long connected with the hotel business in Birmingham His urbanity and general cleverness has won for him host of friends and a legion of travelling men rejoice to find a home with Leigh.
 Mir. F. Donceei occupies high posi- ton among the hotel caterers of the south A Frenchman by birth and edu- cation and an American by adoption MT. Donceel is well versed in the high art of Parisian preparation for Ameri- can palates.
