Models of the first two lighthouses
erected ait Plymouth. England, and
known as the Bddystone lighthouse,
are exhibited in the British section Of
the palace of liberal arts at the worlds
fair. The FIRST lighthouse was built
in 1894, was 100 feet high, and was
destroyed with its occupants by a
storm in 1908. In 17OS the second
beacon tower was erected in its place
and this remained until 1855 when
fire burned 1t down the tower being
of wood. Two half-pound candles
made in 1888, which represent the
kind used in the lighthouse from 1859
ito 1911. are shown in connection with
the models and pictures Of the two old
towers, The exhibit gives visitors q
good idea Of lighthouse construction in
England In the 18th and 18th centuries.

Reports from Chicago indicate that
the convention lacks the enthusiasm
and excitement and interest that
spring from ferce contests. The
crowds don't get excited because there
is nothing to get excited over. There
are no contests to arouse the people.

It Is common belief that there is a
relation between the seasons and dis
ease, says an exchange. In many
cases this belief is justified by the
facts. Smallpox, for example, is es-
pecia1ly a disease Of the winter; ty-
phoid fever of the autumn, and pnetl-
monia of the winter and spring All
catarrhal infiammations OF the respira-
tory organs are also most common
during the winter and early spring
There is no apparent reason why ty-
phoid fever should suddenly attack a
great number of people just at the end
Of summer and the beginning Of au-
tu1nn, yet such is the fact. The prev
alence Of smallpox In winter is ex-
planned partly by the fact that vaccine
virus, and presumably, therefore,
smallpox virus as well. is very resist
ant to cold. and is destroyed by a
moderate degree Of continuous heat.
But probably the lack of ventilation
has much more to do with it, the pol
son being concentrated in the stagnant
air which fills 50 MANY OF our homes
in winter. It has been shown con
clusively that this is the case Of ty-
plus fever, now happily an almost ex-
tinct disease. and we cannot doubt
that the same cause is active in the
spread of other so-called winter dis
eases. The moral is evident that he
who runs may read flesh air, open
windows and free ventilation in all
living apartments and bedrooms.

The secretary of the treasury. in his
annual report, says: November l.,
1904, the amount of bullion in the
treasury purchased under the act of
July IA, 1900, was 2.742,5S9.71 fine
ounces. which has coming value in
subsidiary money of $3,791. 3s0.24.
1.-The coinage OF subsidiary coin dur
ing the last five fiscal years was $780,
300, O49.35.
From this it is apparent that steps
must soon be taken to provide bullion
for the subsidiary coinage.
I'm this connection it may be pointed
out that no provision now exists for
the recoinage OF standard silver dollars
which by natural wear have become
unfit for circulation. Many such are
now in the treasury. They can not be
recoined into dollars without loss, and
there is no authority to reimburse such
loss. AS the subsidiary coins are of
lighter proportionate weight than the
standard silver dollars. these abraded
and uncurrent coins might be recoined
into subsidiary silver coin without loss.
The small contraction in the circula-
ton OF dollars would be onset by the
increase In the subsidiary coin. and the
net result of the operation would leave
the total money circulation unchanged.
/ recommend that the secretary OF the
treasury be giver authority for such
recoinage."

The time is coming, and 1t Is not
far off. when men and women Will
wear rainproof suits as well as coats,
for the process of waterproofing cloth
has become so extensive that any
cloth. whether of the best or poorest
quality, can be treated without alter
ing its color. Indeed, it has been
long day since fashion gave to men
such a boon as the raincoat has prov
ed. The raincoat doesn't show on Its
surface that it is raincoat. and it Is
worn on the sunniest day as well as
the wettest with equal facility and
good taste. While It is at present
distinctive garment, there are signs
which point to rainproofng here

in vogue is an easy step to the appii
cation of the process to suits OF all

Dogs That Draw Carts.

traveller who has cycled hundreds
of miles in Holland has good word
for everything Dutch except the use of
dogs in carts. He quotes some rather
affecting instances of very old or sick
dogs used in certain district and con-
cludes that the employment of dogs as
draft animals is a survival of barbar-
ism. The cart dog is a high-spirited
eager creature, which, as a rule. takes
n great deal of interest in its work.
and needs neither beating nor scold-
ing.
At The Hague the dogs which bring
the vegetables into market lie under
their carts while the cargo is being
sold. In the afternoon when the time
for going home approaches, they bark
excitedly. and, with their owners sit
ting in the carts, often race other dogs
home. The carts are frequently very
smart and so Is the harness. Nearly
all the milk and similar commodities
in Liege are distributed silently
quickly and early in the morning by
dog carts.

ABOUT INDIAN DAY SCHOOLS.

They Are Doing Great Work in Civil
izing the Red Man.
The Indian day schools are centers
of interesting things uplifting to
needy people. says a writer in the
Southern Workman. They are home
object lessons of cleanliness. industry
and thrift. They teach industries
suitable to the environment In which
the children live.
They strengthen home ties by re-
curing parents to care for their on
spring. They give teachers an oppor-
tunity to study the conditions OF the
Indian home and to better them. They
are distributing points for medicine
and good counsel. They silently but
unobtrusively break down opposition
to American dress and customs.
Above all, they keep the Indians at
home.
Some teacher has said that il the
day schools did no more than keep the
Indians at home they would be worth
all they cost. These schools should
have the best and most valuable Chris
tian men and women in the service.

how to bake it, but after some time

catch minnows. He scooped in thirty

the fish. The anglers paid the price,
and then found the minnows too small
to swim about after they had been
hooked, a circumstance which seemed
to knock the bottom out of the fish

The pair had about decided to go

He suggested the goldfish as bait. and
both men secured dozen for COM

was a success. The anglers caught
fair mess and found the goldfish to be
very hardy. A pair which had been
used as bait, and had escaped the hun

worse for having been hooked and

aquarium as if nothing had disturbed
