One Light In Two Thousand Miles.

For the first time the great southern
coast OF Alaska. more than 1000 miles
long. has this winter lighthouse
Though one Of the most dangerous and
stormy coasts In the world and diff
cult Of navigation. even In summer.
this area has been wholly neglected
until now. The first light Is on Cape
HinchinbroOk. at one OF the entrances
to Prince William sound. There are
many other places where lights and
fog signals are almost rs urgently
needed. notably Cape st. Elias. where
steamers are often held up for days
because Of fogs and a long. hidden
reef. Other lights are. however, to be
added next year.

DIVING FOR COINS.

The Natives OF Madeira Are Experts
at the Business.
AS we drew in and came to anchor
We saw descending upon US n fleet of
small. curious boats filled with half
naked men. We suspected now that
Madeira was a cannibal island and pre-
pared for the worst. 1t was not quite
as bad as that. They merely wanted
us to throw coins over into the liquid
azure which they call water in this
country. whercupon their divers would
try to intercept the said coins some
where between the top and bottom of
the sea. We didn't believe they could
co it. but We tried and. as usual. found
that the other fellow knew his own
game better than.we did.
II those amphibians did not always
get the coins they generally did. They
could see them perfectly In that amaz-
ing water. and they could dive like
seals. Some Of the divers were mere
children-poOr. lean creatures who
stood up in their boats and shouted
and implored and swung their arms in
wild invitation to us to fling our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very
small money. They declined to dive for
pennies. Perhaps they could only dis
tinguish the CLEAN OF the white metal!
Let a nickel or dime be tossed over

good show. and. being the first OF its
kind. we enjoyed it.-Albert Bigelow

DON'T INVITE
RHEUMATISM
By Allowing Your Blood to Be.
come Thin During Cold or
Damp Weather.

Every sunerer from rheumatism wants
to DO cured and to stay cured.
Tho prospect of the return Of the
same old rheumatism every year is not
attractive to anybody who has gone
through ono siege. Most treatments
aim simply to keep down" the rheu.
matio poisons in the blood. The tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
has proved by hundreds of cures that il
bailds up the, blood to point that
enables it to cast out these poisons
through the regular channels Of excre-
ton, the bowels, kidneys and the skin.
When this is done the rheumatism is per.
manently cured and as longas the blood
lis kept pure and rich the patient will be
immune from attacks of rheumatism.
Mr.. Robert w. Shoemaker Of No.
$3.50 Ludlow street, Philadelphia, Pa.
says:
4 'Some years ago I suffered from a
very severe attack of rheumatism which
affected the knee joints, thigh and
shoulder Of my left side. The pain was
of dull throbbing nature, much like a
toothache. MY knee and shoulder would
swell and could not bear to have any.

ed me but without atfording relief. l
also used liniments of all kinds. Finally
aon the advice of a friend began taking
DR.. Williams PINK Pills.
IA II was relieved after the first few
boxes, and after a few weeks treat
ment was cured. Since that time have
never been troubled with rheumatism. -

tism, means ss tatEA6 nerves, weakened
