Where the Sea Disappears.

A girl was recently overtaken and
drowned by the incoming tide on the
west coast Of France. A transplanted
Breton said OF this fatality:
Can you, who see your own tides
crawl IN at the rate of ten feet or so
an hour. imagine tides racing like wild
white horses up the fat sands at the
rate Of half a mile a minute? The ex-
raor1inary fiatness of our Breton
coasts gives us these phenomenal tides.
The sea does not rise and fall. It ap-
pears and disappears. You have a vast
and hat plain of sand. At a set hour

HIS Religion.

Not long ago a certain clergyman
from the west was called to a church
In Jersey City. Soon after his arrival
the divine's wife made the usual Wis
its to the members of the parish. One
Of these, a plumbers wife, was asked
by the good lady whether the family
were regular churchgoers, whereupon
the wife Of the plumber replied that,
while she and her children were at
tendants at divine service quite regu-
larly, her husband was not
Dear me-" said the minister's wife
That's too bad! Does your husband
never go to church?'

went" was the reply. Occasionally

then to the Methodist, and l have

A look Of perplexity came to the fAce
Of the visitor. Perhaps your husband
is an agnOstic," suggested she.

other; hes plumber. When there Is
nothing for him to do at one church

after she had retold her story and
looked himSa as straight in the eye as

When it was too late he saw that
she wouldn't take a bluff. and he was
obliged TO accompany the pair TO the
woods. He walked straight to the tree

When bis lOrdshlp criticised his ac-

from the case Two hours later he was
packed and ready TO go. AS he was
descending the stairs he encountered
her ladysh'p ascending. She gazed
straight into his eyes and held out her
hand. There was no bribe in her fin

monds from his pocket and passed it
over without a word and then, raising
his hat to her, he kept on his way out

1t is said that once MendelSsohn
came to see the great Freiburg organ.
The old custodian refused him per-
mission to play upon the instrument,
not knowing who he was. At length,
however, he reluctantly granted him
leave to play few notes. Mcndels-
sohn took his seat, and soon the most
wonderful music was breaking forth
from the organ. The custodian was
spell bound. He came up beside the
great musician and asked him his
name. Learning it he stood humiliat-
ed. self-condemned, saying, and | re-
fused you permission to play upon
my organ," There comes One to us.

their children'S knowledge of the Bible

IN sCnooI matters the old saw what

being that at the age when boy

hasn't either. The father is busy lie
pays school taxes, attends educational
rallies when he possibly can. Feels
that he has done his duty and de-
ponds on the salaried superintendent

err desired to take each boy by the
hand and shake it as that particular
boy needed, or inf1ict corporal pun

else would do, the numbers of pupils
alone under their charge would pre-
clude doing so in either case, for where
there are so many, it is rare that the
idiosincracies of any can be gagged.
Busy fathers rarely whip boys, and
the father who never Wallops his boy

and the reason girls keep at graded
schools and graduate is because they

AS to boys of the gOslin age, he is
beyond companionship, and knows his
superior must cater to public senti-
ment against any drastic methods, and
the personal touch of the teacher, lit
orally or sentimentally, is a humbug,
and he becomes one intellectually. In
a tuitioned or private school, the boy
knows money is being paid out each
month. The father knows it, feels IL,
and doesn't let the boy forget 1t. The
teacher occupies th2 vantage point of
a forfeiture of paid tuition with relief
of an unruly student by his discharge
or his withdrawal upon punishment.
These considerations on all sides do
not obtain with the tax paid school,
where the parent never feels the
monied obligation, and the teacher
fears the senseless anger of any cit1-
zen. There you are. Let friends Of

they think nothing of venturing out in
q small boat in weather that would
brighten the average yachtsman.
The poet who wrote, "a life on the
ocean wave, home on the rolling
deep" evidently had in mind change
of scene, OF climate, of country and
of occupation. 1t has the spice of
variety which makes the old salts love
the life, even with all its dangers and
deep, when secured to one spot by
an immense anchor, deprives the crew
of the lightship of almost all the
charm there may be to sea life-ex-
cept the roll" and that they get ad
nauseam One of the crew said that
the vessel got so used to rolling, that
she would not stand up in the dry
dock. without extra props and
shores"
Unlike the location of other light
ships, No. II, happens to be located
in place which is not good fishing
ground. The crew not only miss the
diversion of catching fish, but their
table lacks the many varieties of sea
food, found abundantly elsewhere.
Dolphins are caught, but are not con-
sidered good eating. Sharks are album
dant and are sometimes hooked FOR
sport Turtles are often taken and
Birds of any kind are rarely seen, un-
less blown that way by storm Off
shore.
At the lighthouse on the shore, mi
gratory birds are often seen and 1T is
not uncommon to have them dash
against the lantern, when passing at
night. For that reason the lantern Is
composed of heavy plate glass, set
in iron frames. Even then, a heavy
tic hi OH
sometimes break the glass and be
killed by the blow.
Taken in all its aspects, the life OF
the crew of the lightship is extremely
dull, dreary and monOtonous to an eX-
hausting degree, making three months
of it a serious strain to ones mental
faculties. One old sailor who had eX-
perience, said that. if it were not for
the name of the thin he would pre-
fer to be in the Denitentiary. For
tunately, the human system can often
adapt itself to unnatural or disagree
able surroundings and endure great
hardshipS without special harm. Per-
haps the crew of No. II is of that
disposition.
Some years ago, an attempt was
made to establish lighthouse on the
point of Diamond Shoal. The plan
contemplated an immense iron or steel
position. filled with concrete and sunk
into the sands until a firm foundation
was reached. The cylinder was made
but the shifting nature of the bottom
soon destroyed the work and the
hopes of the projectors before it was
fairly started
1t is the opinion of Captain Tawes
of No II, and others we'll acquainted
with the nature of the Diamond
Shoals, that a lighthouse on thai
trcacherous bottom is impossible. The
great length of the shoaI stretching
to the eastward Of the Cape makes q
light there imperative, hence the light
ship.
To the visitor who realizes the dan
gers to our commercial marine, obliged
TO pass either north or southbound
near this dreaded Cape, with the slowly
dsintegratn hulks of former wrecks
the lost hopes and sad memories o.
loved ones buried in the treacherous
sands, no cost is too dear or work toe
arduous which will lessen the dangers
of Diamond ShOal.
