EddyStOne Lighthouse.

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 no 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 OH the main coast enjoying
a vacation They relieve one another
each mouth, so that none Of the keep
erS remain on duty more than two
months at 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 cost of 100000
and rises from submerged rock The
first lighthouse was erected on this
rock as long ago. as 1897, but was
washed away six years after and was
not replaced for long time. The sec
ond was burned down in 1875; the
third stood from 1867 to 1882 and was
famous in history.

Of Interest to Merchants.

The editor Of the Emery Enter
prise tells of an experience which
ought to be a tip to the merchants
Of other communities Of the state.
The editor some time ago had re-
quest from mail order house for a
copy OF thes Enterprise with his adj
vertising rates. The editor sent a
copy of his paper and soon received
an answer with the information
that the house in question could
not afford to ADVERTISE in a. paper
that was we'll patronized by home
merchants. The manager of the
mail order house is certainly wise
one. He knows, he can get little
businesIfrom a town if the local
merchants advertise, their wares, and
invite the people in to see their
bargains. The business men in
many communities of the states are
complaining that all their trade is
going to the large catalogue houses.
The Herald would suggest that they
try to meet this competition by go
ing after the trade within their
territory by advertising in their
local papers. lis the only way for
them to meet the inroads of the cata-
logue houses and department stores,
and the sooner they realize that
the local newspaper is the medium
through which to reach the local
trade the better for them and for
the community where they live and
try to do business.

What Shall We Eat ?

A writer in the Oct 81 issue OF
HarperS Weekly makes a plea for the
scientific regulation of food. 1t is a
striking fact. he points out, that
science which has weighed the moon
and measured the orbits of the planets
and split the atom into electrOns. has
not yet been able convincingly to tell
man what is and what is not his prop
er food. And yet it is evident to every
intelligent observer tbta a very large
proportion Of men and women are
poisoning themselves every day, ruin
ing their bodies and their minds, short
ening their lives, and bringing upon
themselvesp and misery through
eating and drinking substances and
quantities that are not fitted for hui
man assimilation 'ReformerS are at
work everywhere. but the refOrmer
who could, with authority, show hui
mainly what it should eat and drink
would surely do more good than a
whole army of wiseacres >tinkering at
the effects of evil. What the world
needs is an authoritative science of
food"

some heavy hauling to do and was
using both yoke of oxen at once.
Coming to a very stiff pull he
shouted: ''Haw, Presbyterian;
Gee, Baptist; Ho, Episcopalian;
Get up, Methodist" Another man
was passing at the time, heard the
names spoken, and remarked that
