The most extraordinary of all British
lighthouses is to be found on Arnish
rock Stornoway bay-a rock which is
separated from the island of Lewis by
channel over 500 feet wide. On this
rock conical beacon. is erected, and
on its summit lantern is fixed, from
which, night after night, shines a light
which is seen by the fishermen far and

house is illuminated is this: On the

A recent traveller in Macedonia
writes: "The views on Providence en-
tertained by Turks and Jews respect
ively.and the extent to which belief
influences the conduct of each are well
illustrated by the following anecdote:
A Turk and jew were one day in a
boat. Suddenly the weather changed
and fierce squal arose. The Jew pro-
posed that they should turn back at
once. The Turk was for going on.
Fear not, my friend; Allah is great,
lie said. Allah is great" retorted the
Jew, but our boat is small.'n

MucfIage BETRAYED Him.

Some time ago registered package
sent from the New York postofice,
containing large sum of money, was
received at it's destination apparently
intact, but on being opened was found
to contain nothing but waste paper.
Suspicion could not be directed to any
one clerk of the many who had handled
it. The inspector had often noticed
that the glue used at each postoffice
had an odor distinguishable from that
Of any ether. He Investigated along
this line and was finally rewarded
when in an office near the destination
of the package lie discovered an iden-
tity of smell between the registered
package and gluepot OH the counter.
He caused watch to be set upon the
clerks in the office in the usual way
and finally caught his man spending a
portion of his III gotten gains.

National Debts

Talking of national debts, that OF the
United States is smaller in proportion
to population than the debt of any
other great nation. Australia stands
at the head of the list, her per capita
debt being 1868 France has a debt of
$3.50 per capita, and Great Britain SIS;
while our own is but So per capita
In 1865, when the civil war had piled
upon us a burden of $2,3Sl ,00O, 900, our
per capita was $75 on which we paid
an average interest rate of 7.3 per cent.
Now our national debt is about $780,
600, 900, and half OF that bears only 2
per cent interest. Financially, the
United States government is the
strongest in the world.

THE NEED OF EDUCATION

a writer in the Tribune Farmer,
touching upon the need of education
for farmers boys aud girls says: THE
best assistance any needy person ever
had was help that put him in way to
help himself; hence the parents should
know that the children are receiving
good wholesome obstruction at school;
and the father who does not look to it
and interest himself in his childrel IS
education is making one of the mis-
takes of his life. Shiftless, haphazard
farming and indifference to schooling
go hand in hand, and are well portray
ed in the following, from one of Josh
Billings AlminaX:
A sloven farmer is old Snyder,
lie spends his time drinkin' slider;
Together he works horse and
mewel,
And never sends his boys to skewel.
"And his boys will grow up chips off

but their influence will not be far

The time for comforts and blankets is

enjoy better than warm, comfortable

or the modern housewife usually leave
her very little time for plecing quilts,
and the pretty and easily made comforts
take their place Get five or SIX pounds
of the best cotton batting for large
comfort. a good quality of Bingham or
percale for the cover. and knot them
! closely with cotton or yarn If one is
careful with them they will often stay
clean until worn out.
Blankets need special care to keep them
sweet and clean. for wool is a great alb
sorbent and though they do not look
soiled, they need frequnt washing. If it
IS a double blanket cut it apart and bind
the edges or finish them with buttonhole
