many sleepless nights when storms

bic and warm to live in We light
keepers feel n great sympathy with
our sailors, for we know their eyes are
watching to catch the welcome gllm-
mer of the lights as they sail on the
stormy deep. The llght-keepers are
much exposed to danger, and many
lives are lost in going to and from the
mainland to the lighthouses that are
built upon rocks and shoals. Our lives
are given to our work, and we feel
the great responsibility resting upon
us. We are faithful to the duties as
signed us, and we keep our lamps
trimmed and burning, a guide to mar
iners on the way to safe harbors Of

TRAIN, LOUISIANA.

of the keeper is not concluded with
this feat; the most perplexlng portion
Of the daily routine is now to be per-
formed.
The light-keeper must give an ac-
count Of his stewardship. A record is
kept of every gill, pint, quart and gal
lon Of oil that is nightly consumed by
the lamps, the fractional parts Of
inches Of wick burned, the lamp-chim-
neys broken, and the general consump-
ton of all supplies furnished yearly in
large quantities by the Government.
The accounts are piled up in pamphlets
full of figuring, and the minutest ac-
curacy is absolutely necessary. Trust
in a keeper is imperative. Daily,
monthly, quarterly and annual reports
are rendered to the inspector, and each
report is a detective upon the other,
every light is a watch-tower, and every
visible light-station reports the others
on the log-book or daily journal.
The pathetic story of Lena, the six
year-old keeper of port light on the
Mississippi River, brings tears to many
eyes. The blind grandfather pleaded
with the child not to venture to the
island post that night in vain. Lena
had promised the inspector never to
forget that light, and, although a
storm swept the river, she fastened
to reach the post, only to have her
frail life dashed out by the waves.

courage in a letter that is precious
to her. These are but a few transcript
from official pages.
The first woman to act as a light
house-keeper was probably Elizabeth
Smith, who, n 1880, kept the light at
Old Field Point, Long Island, and had
full charge Of 1t for twenty-five years.
Nancy Rose was appointed In Novem-
Der, 1857, as n lighthouse-keeper to
succeed her husband at Stony Point,
on the Hudson River. She is the first
woman keeper whose appointment Is

seventh year, Mrs. Rose still climbs

Whence 1t Comes, What It Eats, How II
is Trapped.
Very few people seem to know much
about that finest and most delicate of
furs, the chinchilla Were it not for
it's lack of durability, the skin being
thin and light, this lOvelest of pelts
would be more used for whole gar
ments. AS it is, most of us are con-
tent to have it for collar and revers,
facings, collarettes, and muffs
1t is expensive to start out with
about the price of a sealskin, and
doubly so, when you consider that it's
wearing qualities are quite below seal,
But it is lovely and becoming, and
when you consider that it will last
number of seasons if no strain be put
upon it, you can't wonder that so much
of it is sold.

that yellowism, or dull gray, or greasy

the ladder to the light with no uncer-
tain step, faithfully keeping her vigil
under stormy and starry skies. Her
bright eyes are unlmpaired in vision.
The lighthouse stands on the hilltop.
The keepers cottage is surrounded by
a well-kept garden that during the
summertime is full Of blooming dah-
las. Mrs. Rose maintains the family
tradition In being a light-keeper, as
they have held the post ever since the
tower was built. She has raised sew
en- children, and kept the position
through various political changes be-
cause as she says, Il have done my
duty"
The first women to be appointed
lighthouse-keepers on the Pacific coast
are widows, Mrs. Emily A. Fish at
Point Pinos, and Mrs. Julia r. Will
Jams, of Humboldt, California. Point
Pinos light is situated on a point of
land jutting into the sea. Mrs. Fish
obtained permission to add to the ac-
commodations, and built a comforta-
BILE residence with modern improve
ments for herself.
Mrs. Fish keeps tho light with great
care, allowing no one to relieve her of
the official duties of the station. AS a
result she received, in March, 1901, a
letter of special commentator for the
neatness, excellence and faithfulness
of her service, a document that is
filed with the official records Of the
Board.
Mrs. M. d. r. Noryell is one Of the
well-known heroines Of the lighthouse
service. She was born in Washington,
d. O., and her great-grandfather de-
signed the Washington monument
The romantic, brilliant and versatile
girl married a young man Of fortune,
who suffered financial reverses, and
was appointed keeper Of the light at
the Head of the Passes, Port Eads,
Louisiana. At his death Mrs. Norvel
succeeded him as keeper of the light
in 1891, and she brought up her two
children in the sunshine and storm OF
a seattle.
Another Of these heroines is Mrs
Martha A. Keller, who has spent
twenty-four years in various light
houses along the North Carolina coast
Nine years of this time she was
fourteen miles from a postoffice ant
ten miles from land. but she had hel
birds and flowers and books, and be
tween them and the performance O
her household duties the time passed
pleasantly enough. Mrs. Josephin
Freeman has kept the light on Blakis

sleepless nights are thus spent by the

dawn the keeper is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower-top.
Before the red rim Of the sun appears
the lamp is extingulshed, the fine,

the ground color. The light parts are
a slate-white, while down the back it
is of dark blue or black cast.
While the half savage South Amer
lean Indians still do the catching of
these nimble and cautious animals,
they no longer surround their holes in
the earth with a network Of cactus
upon which the poor little things used
to impale themselves after being lured
out and scared into trying to escape.
Besides this punctured the skin, max.
ing it less valuable.
Then they tried smoking them out,
but this turned the skin yellow.
Now they use dynamite!
Having located their victims they
form a network of grasses and hardy
plants around a hill on the side Of
which the chinchilla burrows. A dyna-
mite cartridge with a fuse attached is
then discharged in the centre of the
network and the poor little things
are frightened into running out and
scampering about, when the Indians
dash into the ihclosure with clubs,
and kill them by striking them on the
head. To date this is counted the
best way out of bad job; it is a
quick death, and does not damage the
skins, which bring up to $15.
The skins are Immediately removed
and placed on bushes to dry, the In
dams often making their next mea
from their hideless victims. Some In
dams hunt them with ferrets.

the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken 1t throughout the day, and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. AS
she makes out the last dim sail upon
the horizon and feels thrill of isola-
tion, and that the sun has left 1.-THE
world to darkness and to me-" she may
have a serene sense Of consolation in
remembering that hundreds Of other
