EddystOne LiKh I houae.

The famous Eddystone lighthouse
stands fourteen miles OFF the coast Of
Lands End and is perhaps the most
celebrated in the world. 1t has often
been used as an illustration by poets
and preachers. for 10 other lighthouse
is in such lonesome or dangerous
place. and none costs so much money
and trouble. There are three keepers.
who live there with their families, and
two of them are always on duty, while
the third is on the main coast enjoying
a vacation. They relieve one another
each month. so that none of the keep
ers remain on duty more than two
months at Il time The change and
rest are said to be absolutely necessary
to preserve the nerves of the keepers
The lighthouse is 135 feet high, was
erected in 1882 at a cost of 100000
and rises from a submerged rock. The
first lighthouse was erected on this
rock as long ago as 1867, but was
washed away six years after and was
not replaced for long time. The sec
ond was burned down in 1775; the
third stood from 1867 to 1882 and was
famous in history

NewsbOys and street arabs often
make admirable clerks. The way they
work into commercial houses Is aston
ishing. A large percentage Of public
and prosperous business men Of Amer
lea began as newsboys. but probably
no one realizes how many work tAeir
way up from tie gutter to wealth and
Influence. They begin rs hangers on
and are recruited from the ranks of
every class of street gan,in. Their wits
have been sharpened by contact with
the sordid side of life and by observa-
ton in the school of the street. They
know the value Of friends. So they are
to be found at the door of every big
house. ready at any time to run an err
rand. always at hand to pick up an
umbrella or open door. And before
the people who regularly pass in and
out of the doors Of the place realize it
one of these little chaps they have been
accustomed to see is on the payroll.

Seidl's Silent Tongue.

One of the most striking anecdotes
told in Hermann kleins Thirty Years
Of Musical Life In London relates to
Anton Seidl's first interview with Wag-
ner in the library at Wahnfried. Seidl
found the room dark. and. imagining
nobody was there. he pulled out his let
ter of introduction ard began silently
rehearsing the speech he had prepared.
Suddenly from out OF the gloomy cor
ner Wagner appeared, and Seidl was
so nervous that he could not bring out
a sentence of his speech. This proved
to be his salvation for Wagner, declar-
ing, IF YOU can work as we'll as you

Potato Shipments Over the B. & A.

The shipments from the potato crop
of 1908 over the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad already far exceed any ship
ments over this road for a whole year
and it will be nearly month before
they will end yet. Up to May 10 the
number of bushels from last years
crop amounted to 5,144.735.
This amount is 673, 1902 bushels larger
than the whole years shipments for
any previous crop. The potatoes from
last years yield will keep on coming
also for the rest of May and possibly
some into June. 1t is expected there
fore that the shipments for the 1908
crop will exceed those Of any previous
year by about 1000, 900 bushels.

SEAL AND PORCUP1NE BoUNr1ES.
Towns Have Paid Them and Cannot Get

Towns Have Paid Them and Cannot Get
Their Money Back.
Maine towns which have paid the
seal and porcupine bounties and have
not been reimbursed by the State con-
tlnue to write letters to the governor
complaining of the financial troubles in
which the bounties involve them, The
most recent letter is from J. G. Lam
bert, treasurer of the town of Stockton
Springs. who wrote as follows:
II have the honor to inform your
excellency that the town of Stockton
Springs through its treasurer has not
received from the State the amounts
paid out by the said town in 1908 for
bounties on seals and porcupines, to
wit: for seals $6S7, and for porcupines
1925, total of SCOOPS. The honor
able State treasurer informs me that it
is not probable that the bounty on por-
cupines will be paid this year, and that
he awaits the direction of the governor
and council before he can pay the boun-
ty on seals. l respectfully inform your
excellency that the town made no pro-
vision for bOunties, and that the treas
urer paid from the general funds, which
at the end of the municipal year finan-
cially embarrassed us for want of the
amount due, it being large for so small
a town. We would esteem it favor if
your excellency will inform us when
the seal bounty will be paid.'
An exchange says that it is ques-
ton when this town will gets it's pay,
as the total appropriation for bounties
on seals for 1908 was but $4,000, while
the bounties paid aggregate $500.
The total porcupine bounties paid
amount to nearly SIS, 600: and the ap-
preparation was only $500.

Principal is Upheld.

The Needham school committee gave
a hearing last evening on the applica-
ton of Editor George w. Southworth
of the Needham Chronicle to have his
son Dana reinstated in the high school,
from which he was suspended by Prin-
cipal Loker for INSTRUMENTATION and
general misconduct. After four hours
hearing and an executive session the
committee decided that the action of
the principal was justified and that it
would be for the best interests of the
school that the boy should not return.

of their dispersion by the British army,
this little flock made liberal provision
for religious instruction. If teachers
were not always had, no effort was
spared on the part of the society to OBJ
tain them. Nevertheless all was not
perfect. Some members it seems were
not conformed to duty in some things.
To the more cautious and heedful this
made occasion for offences; and in Oct.
1775, the attention of the whole cor
poration is called to the subject of the
observance of the sabbath, in an article
annexed to a warrant for holding a
town meeting; and vote was taken,
and is recorded, that whoever shall
make an unnecessary visit on the sab
bath, shall be held in contempt by the
people until atonement shall be made
by public confession. When the
peace of seventeen hundred eighty
three permitted them to return to their
homes they brought with them the
same warm zeal for the church. Not
now content with liberal appropriations
for the support of the gospel, in 1889 a
vigorous attempt was made to erect a
house for public worship.
Those, and all those, then westward
of the river, although small minority
were opposed to erecting house on
the eastern side of the harbour; and
formally protested against it, the sub
ject was postponed. Three years after
wards proposition for each section to
build house for themselves, without
charge to the other, met with no op-
position.
The house now to be seen on the east
side of the river, was accordingly
built, and also that house now SO com
modiously repaired, and by the Baptist
society occupied in the village. The
BaPtists purchased the house in 1922.
and removed it to the place where It
| now stands.
