that the crew is not obliged to leave
the vessel, even In order to save life,
but 1t has never happened that these
men have allowed a shipwrecked sailor
or crew to go unaided.
Without the two great octagonal
copper framed lights, each weighing a
ton, which every night of the year dur
ing fair weather and storms cast their
beacon-like rays from the masts Of this
llghtship for the benefit of the thous-
ands of vessels sailing outside Nan
tucket Island, this part of the coast
would be avoided as were the Scylla
and Charybdis of old.
AS 1t Is, 800 vessels have been
wrecked and lost around Nantucket,
and 1t Is only the courage and con-
stancy OF these men aboard the lonely
little midocean monitor that has kept
the total from mounting up far into
the thousands.

NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION.

London Doctor Says the Disease Is
Primarily Derived From Cattle.
London physician, DIR. w. Picket
Turner who has made a first-hand
study of the disease for many years,
advances the theory that the medical
world is attacking the problem of con-
sumption by an utterly false route.
His view, briefly stated, is that tub
erculosis Is an animal disease primar-
lily derived, In all cases, from cattle.
1t belongs. he says, to the mycotic
group of diseases. diseases In which
the original source Of infection is a
plant. Bovine cattle derive tubercu-
losis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity.
Man acquires the disease by inges-
ton or incubation, never by inhala-
ton. 1t Is not hereditary; neither is
there any predisposltion to 1t In the
individual. The bacillus in state of
nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay
of the vegetable world. But the bacil-
lus becomes pathogenic-capable of
causing disease-ln cattle when they
are deprived of actinism or the prop
erty of the chemical rays in sunlight.
1t would, II all this be true, become
reasonable to assume that by restoring
actinism to cattle the bacillus would
again become saprohpyte. In which
case consumption would be extirpated.

Crocodile. and the Cure,

One does not usually connect croco-
diles with a health resort-rather the
reyerse-but the creatures are quite a
feature of the Indian bathing place of
Manghaplr, about nine miles from Ka-
rachi. This town Is a place OF pilgrim
age for plous Hindoos, but 1t Is chiefly
famous for the value Of Its waters In
the cure Of the dread scourge of lep-
rosy. The waters are hot, and more
than go per cent Of the sufferers who
battle there annually, 1t Is said, are
cured. The crocodiles are rather note
worthy in that they live in the hot
water, APPARENTLY suffering no incon-
venience from Its temperature or medi-

The Old Maid Auntx.

II you want to be interested, visit a
family where there IS but one baby
and two or three old maid aunts. Sis
tiers always love each other in a way
to attract admiration, and an old maid
loves her sisters baby almost as much
as the mother. And away down deep
in her heart an old maid thinks the
baby loves her as much as 1t loves its
mother. If We could have our wish we
would wish to be a baby in a family
where there are two or three old maid
aunts; then we would receive attention.

LEAD LONELY LIVES.
MOST DANGEROUS LiGHTsHIP
STATION IN THE WORLD.
That Maintained by Uncle Sam On
Nantucket, Mass, Ia Noted
Hardy saiIormen Who Constantly
Face Perils i'm Many Forms.

Probably upon no reef guar6 station
In the world have the lives 81 brave
and bold men been so often hazarded
as up on the Nantucket Shoals light
ship which is located forty miles south
from Nantucket, Mass More than half
a century has elapsed since the govern
ment first stationed lightship at this
dangerous and lonesome spot. Until
recently the lightship was a sail
equipped vessel, but now 1t is steam
propelled; yet whether operated by
steam or sail the dangers and hard
ships Of the men confined on it are
one and the same.
Forty miles out at sea, cooped In
the little shell that, day after day and
month after month, swings and tugs
at Its 7,OO0-pound anchor lying in Is
fathoms of water, the life of the Nan
tucket lightship sailorman is one of
almost complete isolation from the
first of November until the opening Of
the spring months. During the bit
terest six months of the year there are
no reprieves or shore leave.
Sometimes for two months or more,
during the severest periods Of the win
ter, these dozen men are without COM
munication with the shore save the
messages sent to them by wireless
telegraphy. Often for days their only
visible companion is the great red
brown buoy swinging in the sea half
mile from the ship.
Even this object, which Is endear-
ed to the heart of every man aboard
the lightship, in particularly bad
weather breaks adrift from its moor
ings or Is frequently shut out from
sight for weeks by the dense fogs which
drift In over the ocean like a pail from
the southwark, and then the melan-
choly Of the loneliness which pervades
these men Is not lifted until close
passing vessel or the infrequent adj.
vent Of the winter sunlight comes to
chase away the monotony of their
existence.
But loneliness Is only one of the
hardships Of the men on the Nantucket
Shoales lightship, though 1t is the one
dreaded. There are the days when
the fog settles down over the isolated
vessel in a thick, damp cloak, COM
pletely enshrouding the hulk from stem
10 stern-days when only the far off
sound of passing. steamers ghostly
whistle or sailing vessels horn, or
the systematic roar of the steam fog
horn aboard the lightship, Is all their
world.
Once for twelve consecutive nights

and days the bell which was used
aboard the old ship there was kept
ringing at two-mlnute intervals, with
the result that when the fog had lifted
and the noise ceased, the men We're
unable to sleep for the first night on
account of the unaccustomed silence.
But there Is still another danger be-
sides that of being run down. When
the winter storms of the Atlantic sweep
across the shoals, tossing the lightship
like shuttlecock and burying her
athwartships, these men aboard, cling
ing In their hunks between decks or
standing watch through the bitter cold
hours of the night In the lee of the
oak bulwarks, indifrerently sheltered
from the Icy sleet and spray, know
not at what moment the great anchor
chain may part under the lunges OF
the rolling vessel and set them adrift
in the inky darkness In a battle for
life.
Twenty-four times the Nantucket
lightship has parted her chains, usually
In the heart Of the bitterest winter
gales, and been swept to sea. Only a
year ago vessel and crew thus adrift
from mornings were given up for lost.
Once during the period of the old sail
ing lightship's maintenance the vessel
was fourteen days In picking her way
back to port after having been driven
far to sea.

EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE KAISER
He Is an EARLY Riser and His Meals
Are Simple.


Are Simple.
The everyday life of the German en-
peror Is rather severely systenatized,
says Wolf Won Schierbrand In Lippin-
colts. He plunges into his days work
with cheerful and vigorous alacrity.
He Is an early riser-in the summer
often at and in the winter rarely aft
er Z During the hunting season he
gets up even before those hours. He
regularly braces himself with shower
bath and then he slips into his undress
uniform (for, as William l. used to
say. dressing gowns are not worn by
the Hohenzollerns") and goes straight
to breakfast.
His meals, as rule, are simple rath-
Ell than otherwise. His breakfast Is of
the English kind" consisting of coffee
or tea, toast eggs, beefsteak or cut
let. Luncheon is served at 2, and he
partakes of soup, one meat dish with
greens, one roast and several entire
ments. Dinner at 6 Is a more elaborate
neal. Kaiser and the kaiserin both in
sist on carefully and wholesomely pre-
pared food, and, although she never
cooks dishes for her husband or family
as has been enormously stated SO oft
en-she does frequently supervise the
preparing of this or the other special
course. The kaiser is fond Of baked
meats and pot roasts and likewise of
fish, oysters, macaroni, rice, force-meat
balls and Of what is commonly called
hamburger steak. Usually, unless pres
sure of business prevents, he plans
with his wife at breakfast the menu of
the day.

THEY FORMED A FLY TRUST.
Canny Kids Worked the Bounty Prop
osition for All 1t Was Worth.

Once in Hartford the flies were so
numerous for a time, and so trouble
some, that Mrs. Clemens conceived the
idea of paying George a bounty on all
the flies he might kill. The children
saw an opportunity here for the &C.
QUESTION of sudden wealth. They sup
posed that their mother merely want
ed to accumulate dead flies, for some
aesthetic or scientific reason or other,
and they judged that the more flies
she could get the happier she would
be; so they went into business with
George on a commission. Straightway
the dead flies began to arrive in such
quantities that Mrs. Clemens was
pleased beyond words with the sue
cess Of her idea. Next, she was aston
1shed that one house could furnish so
many. She was paying an extrava-
gantly high bounty, and it presently
began to look as if by this addition to
Our expenses we were now probably
living beyond our income.
After a few days there was peace
and comfort; not a fly was discovera-
BILE in the house; there wasn't a strag-
gler left. Still, to Mrs. Clemens sur
prise, the dead flies continued to ar
rive by the plateful, and the bounty
expense was as crushing as ever.
Then she made inquiry, and found
that our innocent little rascals had
established a fly trust, and had hired
all the children in the neighborhood
to collect flies on a cheap and unbur-
densome commission.-Mark Twain's

Lived 1902 Years.

Devils Lake.-Mrs. Bear, a full
blooded Sioux Indian, died at the
reservation south of the city. The
old members of the tribe declare that
the woman was 1O2 years old at the
time of her death. and If this was the
case the oldest in the state
of North Dakota has probably passed
away.
Mrs. Bear was one of the Oldest
members Of the tribe. She has lived
in the great northwest all her life and
was here for years and years before
the p%aleface came. Her death was due
to the in1rmities of old age and so
far as can be learned there was no
particular disease which caused her
demise. Although having seen more
than a century Of life. the woman was
quite active a few weeks before her
death. Her teeth were as white as
pearls and her hair Jet black. In her
life she had seen many hardships,
living in a country where the winters
are eve and being, until the latter
years Of her life deprived of the
houses which shelter the white man.
