They Needed the Medicine.

Some years ago a railway was be
ing made in the west Of Scotland, and
it was arranged that each Of the nu'
merous laborers employed should pay
q penny per week to a medical prac-
titioner. so that they might have his
services in the event Of accident OF
medicine in case Of illness.
During the summer and autumn mel
tter illness nor accident occurred.
But when a severe winter followed
all at once the "navigators" began 70
call on the doctor for castor oil.
Each brought his bottle, into wnlcn
an ounce was poured, until the oil was
exhausted. and the doctor was forced
To send to town for further supply.
When that, too, was getting low the
doctor one day quietly asked q neaitny
looking fellow what was wrong with
the men that they required SO much
castor oil.

Gent Rome, says the PHILADELPHIA
North American. Pagan temples hays
been destroyed to build palaces, bronzs
statues have been stolen or melted
while marble statues have been con.

check an assault.
1t Is a pleasing fancy that present
generations have q different attitude
toward the past; that archaeology ID
striving to rebuild what has been de-
molished. But the fancy does not seem
to hold good in practice. In fact, while
the so-called destroyers of Rome de.
molished, but did not in every case
obliterate all traces of the past, their
modern successors Of to-day, although
living In what Is supposed to be a high,
~ enlightened time, ruthlessly trans
form the ancient into the modern.
When the Via Nazionale was opened
the palaces Of illustrious Romans
which once lined the Vicus Longus and
were discovered while the new street
was being cut, were destroyed and re-
buried. The remains Of the celebrated
Horti Sallustiani, which had survived
the shocks Of time and were incorpor-
ated In two villas, Ludovisi and MASH
mo, were mercilessly sacrificed by their
owners in 1885 and pulled down to make
place for new streets and modern
houses. A German, Herr Spithoever,
filed one Of the valleys of the gardens
on Sallust with material brought from
the Servian embankment and converted
the place into fiat building lots.
Such instances could be multiplied
almost indefinitely. Hardly month
passes without the sale of an old pal
ace or villa full of historic interest and
romance. The owners, Roman noble
men Of ancient and illustrious families,
prefer hard cash to an old palace, and
they are always willing to not only
sell their houses, but also their old
furniture.
One by one the old palaces of Rome
are disappearing, those that are left
standing are being modernized and
transformed and everything old Is
doomed to perish. There is a craze
among the Roman nobility for modern
ism, which is encouraged by the tempt
ing offers Of both native and foreign
dealers In antiques.

has a note eight seconds in length,
coming every half minute, another
whistle may have a note five seconds
In length coming every quarter min
ute. No two whistles within a section
where there would be the slightest
chance Of confusing them are alike.
| Neither are any two lights alike
where they may be- mistaken one for
the other. There are nowadays five
different classes of light; fixed, revolv-
ing, flashing, colored in intermittent.
There are some combinations of these
| also which provide still other varia-
lions, such as intermittent flashing
lights and group flashing lights.
Oil Is still the fuel used. Wherever
else it may be back number, 1t keeps
its lead over all other lights for steadi-
ness and reliability in signal work.
There are some buoys which are cleo
trically lighted and some which have
Pintsch lights. There are also some
lightships which are electrically light
ed. But the well-known instability Of
buoys and ships Is the result Light
houses stick to coal oil.
The pay Of lighthouse keepers aver
ages from 500 to $1,000 year. The
isolated ones are supplied with food
and fuel, too, and it is fact that 1t
often costs more to get these supplies
to the lighthouses than the supplies
themselves cost. Men who receive 500
year or other small salaries do not
have charge of first-class lighthouses.
They are the men who attend to light
Ing one of the small beacons, but even
In that case they earn their money.
Lighthouse keepers are not allowed
to take up any occupation that would
interfere with their duties, but some
of them manage to earn an honest
penny occasionally by making shoes
or doing tailoring or other intermit-
tent work. One Is reported who
preached every Sunday at little
church near the light. Another was
justice of the peace. Another taught
school.
TIE summer isn't so bad anywhere
On the northern Atlantic coast things
go to the other extreme. Summer
folks become a veritable pest at many
of the lights. Those which are near
the large resorts are made the objec-
tive points Of hundreds of yachting
parties, of launches, Of idlers in any
kind of thing that will float
When these visitors come by scores
every day and must all be taken up to
see the light-a very respectable little
climb II the tower happens to be 100
or more feet high and must all be fed
with the same facts-all Of them indi-
gestible to the average mind on sum-
mer vacation-and must all peek and
peer into the private quarters of the
family, then the isolation Of January
doesn't seem to be without It's redeem
ing features.
The wife of lighthouse keeper has
no sinecure. One wonders what hap
pens If man In that position marries
an untidy wife. According to the testi-
mony Of one woman who lives in a
lighthouse the inspector would make
short work Of domestic slattern.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-03-21


In lighthouse is no joke. Even when
the house Is on the mainland, where
the keeper and his family can gel
around somewhat as other folks do
the winter is long, hard pull.
In the United States there are about
LOO lighthouses, built in a large va.
riety Of situations, not one Of which
was chosen with view to tie comfort
and social advantages of the occupants
For instance, when it comes to linked
loneliness long drawn out the eight
families who keep the Scotch Cap and
the Sarichef lights of the coast of
Alaska are candidates for first prize.
There are four of them at each light,
but they do not see each other for
months at time.
As for seeing anybody else, passing
steamer occasionally lowers boat and
sends them mail. But as the steamer
company charges Uncle Sam $50 every
time 1t does this the lighthouse folk
have to put up with rare visits.
Life on a lightship is even worse
than 1t Is In lighthouse. The house.
at any rate, keeps fairly steady, where
as a nghtship is never absolutely still,
and In stormy weather rolls and
wrenches, douses and drenches its
crew unit they almost 60 crazy under
the strain. The best of them can't
stand too long a spell Of that sort of
thing.
The Diamond Shoals lightship, thir-
teen miles out In the ocean of Cape
Hatteras, Of evil memory to mariners,
was kept there once for five months in
stead of the three prescribed by the
regulations.
Even when the crew were Ealf dis
tracted from the strain Of their long
duty it did not occur to them to aban-
don their post. As matter of fact
only three or four instances have been
recorded of American keepers abandon
Ing light which was in their charge.
Probably when 1t comes to out and
out wintry rigors some of the light
houses on the Great Lakes suffer more
even than those on the seacoast. They
become coated with thick ice and have
also to stand up against onslaughts of
cake ice forced up out of the water and
driven against them with terrific force.
One lighthouse on Lake Erie had to
stand on one occasion against Ice which
piled up against it to height of forty
feet.
But it's no summer resort In the
tower of any lighthouse in winter. No
heat is allowed, as that would cause
a dimming Of the plate glass window
or the lenses. The heat from the
great lamp is carried OF by a ven
tilator overhead and the turret Is so
cold that on the New England coast
keepers say that glass Of water will
quickly freeze solid II set on the win
dow sill.
The big lamps, by the way, are al
lowed to burn only four hours at
time. If they burn longer there Is apt
to be vaporization of the gases in tie
oil, lessening the brilliance Of the light.
So the lamps are changed twice every
night. When there is fog or storm
frst-class lighthouse will keep three
men busy all night tending to lights
and the engine which keeps tie siren
whistle going.
These whistles differ from one an
other, just as the lights do, 30 that
even IL vessel cannot distinguish

Mrs. Yeames found time to quit her

About three days after this, client
who had just returned from a business
journey to the south Of France dropped
in to have chat with me, and amongst
other things he said:
"By-the-by, Keene, 1 crossed over with
young Yeames."
"Whenw l asked

OF him at the station where the line
branches off to Monaco"
You are sure of your fact?" 1 asked,
though | had little doubt of it.
Il am as sure it was he as 1 am that
you are before me now"
Now the 10th was the very day he had
left Coneyford for London. Was London
not gay enough for him, that he must
go on to Monaco for amusement? One
thing was certain: Mrs. Yeames, to have
received telegram from him, must have
known his whereabouts, and could not
give me his address in London simply be-
cause he was at the other end of Europe
Why had she told me that lie? Because
she did not wish it to be known that
her son had gone to Monaco, lest it might
be inferred that he had gone there for
pleasure? That was the conclusion I
came to.
1t never entered my head that he had
got out of the country for prudential
reasons, and that the cause of his preoip-
itate flight was that little paper pellet
which was lying quietly in my handy
drawer. There are things which escape
even the suspicion of a lawyer some
times.

JOE CoRBETT'S GRIEVANCE.
Pitcher Had Rupture with New Han
Ion Over suit of Clothes.

Newark, y. j.. Jan. H.-AprOpos of the
action Of the Brooklyn lNauonaI League)
club in releasing Pitcher Joe Corbett
after holding the player on its reserve
list for seven years is the story which
tells the cause of the players break with
the Baltimore club eight years ago. when
Ned Hanlon was manager Of the Orioles,
says the Newark News. When Baltimore
Was dropped from the National League.
Corbett was shifted 10 Brooklyn both
clubs being controlled by the same finan-
cial interests. The story was related by
James J. CoTbett, the players brother
while filing a theatrical engagement in
this city recently.
According 10 brother Jim's version Of
the affair, the Baltimore team was play
ing in Boston. Ned Hanlon was particu-
larly anxious 10 win the game in ques-
tion. and delegated Joe Corbett TO do the
pitching. Before the contest started,
Hanl0n, it IS alleged, went up 70 Corbett
and told the latter that If he won he
would receive n new suit OF clothes for
the feat.
The game proved 70 be a hummer. and
at the end OF the seventh inning neither
team had scored In the next inning
Baltimore player raped out a home run,
and the game ended with the score of
TO o. in favor of Baltimore. When the
orioles returned 10 Baltimore, C0rbett
went TO a tailoring establishment and
ordered q new suit The outfit II is said
footed Up TO so, and the bill was pre-
sented 10 HanlOn. The latter refused to
make good, it is said, and Corbett paid the
bill himself After this incident COTbett
vowed he would never play ball again
with d team with which Hanlon had any
connection. lie got an excuse for quit
ting in Brooklyn in early season and
left the club. afterward playing with
outlaw teams In California.
While with Baltimore, Corbett pitched
brilliant ball, and was rated as one OF
the star twirlers Of the profession. During
his visit to this city. Jim C0rbett declared
that his brothers arm is as good as it
ever was, but Il was not likely that he
would again pitch ball in the National
League. Now that he is free II is prob
able that several big league managers
will tumble over themselves in an effort
TO land him for next season Frank Far
rell. of the New York Americans, it is
said. would not hesitate to give him
job with the Yankees.
