"The coastwise lights Of England
Of which Kipling sings, have been in
creasing in brilliancy as well as in
number ever since the dawn of the
nineteenth century. In that dark age
weary mariners crawled into port by
the fiickering glare of Is beacons and
six floating lights; now they may glide
safely into haven under the powerful
beams of $50. Lighthouses are as an.
cient as civilization. The Pharos Of
Alexandria flung it's light on the decks
of oriental barges 2,237 years ago.
The Romans, who loved the light, have
left the ruins of one of their light
houses on cliff at Boulogne, while at
Dover may still be seen all that re.
mains of another. Petroleum and the
electric light have made the early
nineteenth century beacOns ridiculous
On the summit of the tower an open
crate was fed with billets of wood and
later with COAL Scotland abandoned
coal altogether for more up-tO-date
methods in 1916 and England six years
afterward.

One room should be set aside to rep

spring is riot of color, no special
scheme of color need be used. Apple

flowers which summer brings. Here
the place card may be long-stemmed

Oyster salad may be served.
The winter table, of course, comes in
white, with holly, poinsetta and the
greens adding the color. Very small
artificial pine trees may be used as the

VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has It PulIs Through, thu
Other Patient Dies.

Two men undergo operations of the
same character In a hospital. The
same surgeon does the work. The con
ditions are identical. Equal care is ex
ercised in each operation and each is
successfully performed. Yet one man
recovers, the other dies. Or there Is
q tremendous business pressure which
does not let up for months. 1t puts
the men under terrible strain. One
man goes to pieces and his business is
wrecked. He can not keep the pace;
he loses control of himself. His rival
has no better brains than he-perhaps
not so good-yet he pulls through sue
cessfully. We say that there is a DIFF
ference in vitality. that one man has
more of 1t than the other, says writer
In the Worlds Work.
l once saw a man In hospital who
was suffering from five fatal diseases
and yet he would not die. He had
kept on living year after year in spite
of everything. He refused to succumb.
We find the same thing illustrated
every day. In a shipwreck there are
men who seem to give up their lives
without struggle, without any power
to resist; others cling to an open raft
for days without food, almost frozen,
constantly whipped by the waves, but
for some reason or other they survive.
The vitality in them is strong.
Notice how rapidly and surely one
man recovers himself after a nervous
breakdown, while another drags along
through years of semi-invalidism No
tice the results upon two men of q long
cold drench of rain. One of them
comes down with pneumonia, the other
suffers no i'll effects. How is 1t to be
explained?
He has reserve somewhere-an
inner power of resistance; an aggres-
sive something that will not be downed
we call it vitality. A man can't have
a more valuable asset than that. 1t
means joy instead of dumps, success
instead of failure, joy, perhaps, instead
of death.

AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE.
One Who Had Sins to Be
Forgiven.

There is much said about men who
don't mail letters that perhaps it Il
only due the forgetful sex to recount
on a woman's page how one man mail
ed a letter that he didn't have to.
! Everyone knows, says the Baltimore
News, about the gentleman who forgot
to post his wife's epistle accepting an
invitation to spend a few days in the
country with friends, with the Conse-
quence that his better half had to stay
in the little railway station all night,
since no carriage met her and none
was to be hired; and everyone has
heard of that other gentleman who in
a at Of -mindednes5 carried
around in his coat pocket the note OF
sympathy his sister had written to
an i'll friend-and posted 1t to her after
she was dead, SO that it arrived at the
house just in time TO still further har-
row the feelings of the sorrowing fam
lily; and everyone has heard of the
man who kept in his pocket the letter
his fiancee had written to another
youth, refusing him, and how his en-
aagement was broken off in conse-
quence-but this story of how man
mailed letter happened in Baltimore,
and is quite new.
The story began with mans per-
fidy, of course. This man was young
one, and he had been trusted with
very important missive inviting
young woman to a house party.
He didn't forget to mail the letter,
but when he reached the box where he
had expected to post it he found he
had lost it out of his pocket. OF
course, he had been told to keep 1t in
his hand until he reached a box. but
what man was ever known to do such
a thing?
He was overcome with remorse
when he found that the letter was
really lost-that is, as overcome as it
is possible for man to be, and SO
since he knew all the circumstances he
went home at once and wrote a note
to the girl to whom the letter was ad-
dressed, telling her the circumstances
and the purpose of the other note.
In the course of time the girl who
wrote the first note received a reply
from her invited guest Cit does seem
as if tie girls were pretty well mixed
here, but it is to be hoped that the
reader will understand), saying: 81
received your letter in the same mail
with the one Fred, wrote, saying he
had lost it. The letter was evidently
unsealed, and the finder had read 1t,
for he had put a stamp on it, and,
more than that, since he evidently
thought the occasion urgent, and he
didn't know how long the epistle had
been lying in the gutter-a special de-
livery stamp.
con the outside he had written,
This letter was mailed by one who
has many sins to be forgiven in the
matter of unmailed and forgotten let

If that wasn't Christian dec, then
there never was one, and 1t should GER

Murder Mystery.

The lifeless body of John Brown,
well-known brick mason, was found
lying across log in a vacant lot in the
restricted district of Hattiesburg.
Following so closely upon the murder
of Alex Malone and P. G. Lydell, both
of whom are thought to have been put
out of the way by persons who make
their headquarters in the restricted ter

And made him one of flowers;
Her eyes they made of yiolets,
Wet with their morning showers.
They took the blossom of the oak,

The blossom of the meadow sweet.
To be her body's bloom.

To beg the kindling coal;
