MOST FAMOUS OF LIGHTS.
me Eddystone Beacon a LOnesom
ana dangerous Post-CostIy AZ
fair to Keep Up.

No lighthouse the world over has as
wide fame among mariners as that
which stands IA miles off the coast of
Lands End, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. 1t is perhaps the most celebrated
IN the world. 1t has often been used
as an illustration by poets and preach
ers, for no other lighthouse is in such
a lonesome or dangerous place and
none costs SO much money and trou-
be. 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
vacation. They relieve each other
each month, SO that none of the keep
ers remain on duty more than two
months at time. This change and
rest is said to be absolutely necessary
to preserve the nerves of the keepers.
The lighthouse is 1876 feet high. was
erected in 1882 at a cost of $4OO, 900,
and rises from a submerged rock. The
first lighthouse was erected on this
rock as long ago as 1857, but was
washed away six years after and was
not replaced for long time The sec
ond was burned down in IT'S, the
third stood from 1867 to 1882 and was
famous in history.

Lord WoIseIey and Gen. Lee.

Lord WOlseley, in the second volume
of his autobiography, 1.-THE Story of a
Soldiers Life" which Charles Serb
aer's Sons will publish next week,
speaks of his visit to the Uni ed States
at the time of the Civil War. He had
frequent interviews with General Rob
ert E. Lee at the headquarters of the
Confederate army, and expressed much
admiration for him. He says of him !:
He was the ablest general and, to me,
seemed the greatest man l ever con-
versed and yet have had the privi-
lege of meeting Won M0ltke snd Prince
Bismarck, and, at least, upon one oc
casion, had very long and intensely
interesting conversation with the la e5-
ter" Lord WolseIey continues:
General Lee was one of the few men
who ever seriously impressed and aw-
ed me with their natural, their inher.
ent greatness.
Forty years have come and gone
since our meeting yet the majesty of
mis- manly bearing, the genial, winning
grace the sweetness of his smile and
the impressive dignity of his old fash
ioned style of address come back to me
among the most cherished of my re-
collections. He spoke of the future
with cOnfdence-it was just after the
battle of Antletam.

Lord Roberts Report.

May be permitted, writes an Ottawa
resident to the London Outlook, as an
humble member of one of Great Brit
aims colonies to draw your attention to
the following instances of the customary
amazing ignorance displayed by Eng
Hshmen of all classes as regards the size
and condition, geographical and other
wise, of the Dominion of Canada?
The following reply, given by the
commander in chief in his evidence be-
fore the royal commission on the war
on the question as to the possibility of
finding suitable maeuvering grounds
for troops in Canada, appears in the
Blue Book recently issued:
1 do not know Canada personally
(says Lord Loberts). 1 have been told
that Canada is very much covered with
dense forests and that it is very diff
hcult to find much spare ground"
Would Lord Roberts be surprised to
learn that the northern half of the
American continent, known as Canada.
possesses an area of over 5000, 900 square
miles; that the prairies of Canada ex-
tend for many thousands of miles and
are as open as the fattest portions of
wimbledon commons; that there is so
much spare ground in Canada that
the present population of 5000 900 or
so is at loss to know what to do with it?

CRACKING A STEEL SAFE.
Nftros1ycerin Does the Work without
Any boring Whatever-WOnGer-
fully Simple Operation.

The work Of cracking an old steel
safe has become very simple" said an
inspector of the post office department
to a Washington Star reporter. You
see,'' he continued, "all the burglar
has to do is to pour nitroglycerin in
the cracks of the safe, then throw
some combustible material over it, set
it afire and get out of the way. In
short time the explosion occurs and
the door drops out as readily as if it
were made of pasteboard.
This method of going into safe is
known to all the cracksmen, and it
seldom occurs that we hear of a case
of burglarizing a post office in the
small towns that has not been accom-
plished in that manner The old
method of boring into a safe in order
to insert the explosive is no longer
heard Of. 1 do not know how this
practice can be stopped unless greater
care Is taken in watching the post Of
fees or modern safes are provided. 1t
is impracticable to equip all the post
Offices with modern safes, so that /
think the simple methods of the bur-
glars will be used for a long time to
come"

Take care of the stomach and the health
Will take care of itself. If people only real
lied the soundness Of that statement the
majority might live to good old age like
Moses, 1.-THE eye undimmed, the natural force

blood Is made. 1t IS from the stomach that
nour 1shment is dispensed to nerve and mus
Gle. If the stomach Is weak" it can't do its
whole work for each part of body. If it is
diseased the disease will taint the nourish-
menJ which is distributed, nd so spread
disease throughout the body. 1t was the
realization of the importan e of the stomach
as the very center of the health and the
common source of disease, which led DR..
Pierce to prepare his "Golcen Medical Dis
covery." Disease which originate in the
stomach must be cured through the stom-
ach.' The soundness Of this theory is prov

heart, liver, lungs. blood,-by the use of the

This Year Is Another Leap Year.

After eight years, we are to have an
other leap year, 1904 being on the
calendar as such. II Was widely pub
lished in 1896 that it was the only op
portunlty the ladies would have for
eight years to exercise their ancient
prerogative OF proposing marriage to
whom they willed. But eight years
have rolled around, and those
who did not avail themselves of that
opportunity will now have another.
The year 1900. as has often been ex-
plalued. was not q leap year, because,
according to the Gregorian calendar,
every year dlvisible by four, Without
remainder, is a leap year, except it
oe the last in a century, and then it
is leap year Only when dIvisible by
400 Without remainder. As 1900 was
not divislble without a remainder, it
was not leap year.

SUICIDE MADE EASY.
Despondent Norwegian Took His Own
Lie by Simple Method of Refus-
Ing TO Breathe.

That it is possible to commit suicide
by simply holding ones breath has
been clearly proved by a despondent
Norwegian, who recently killed him
SELF In this very unusual manner.
When he determined to die he closed
his mouth and nostrils and by mere
force OF will prevented his lungs from
doing their Proper work.
This case is the more remarkable.

mas long been popular notion that no
human being could by mere will power
stop the action Of the lungs for more
tnan one or two minutes For this rea-
SON 1t has attracted much attention,
and French writer, commenting on
it, says:
TO persons of good taste who arc
weary of life this method of commit
ting suicide will certainly commend it.
self, one reason being because the body
is not disfgured thereby, and another
because the act can be committed in
any place and at any time 1t is true
that sensitive or nervous persons will
never be able to kill themselves in this
manner, for, simple as it seems, the
act OF retaining ones breath until
death comes can only be performed
oy one who is either unusually phleg-
matte or endowed with a very strong
will"

Consumption. .

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptiye needs
most.
Scott's sEmulsionisth themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of oliver oil and hypophos-,
phites in SCOTS. Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
