EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE.
Tragic History Of Famous Old World

The romance of lighthouse construc-

the weak beams Of light from the tai
low candles first pierced the darkness.
The engineer had an unshakable belief

wish to be In 1t during severe gale.
This chance came on Nov. 26, 1905,
when on storm appearing imminent
he set out from Plymouth. The hurri-
cane was one Of the most terrible re-

damage 1t swept away every vestige Of
the lighthouse, those in 1t, Of course,

The lights not only warn the mariner

THE GERMAN SOFA.
II IL tho Seat Of Honor For tho Visitor
With the Biggest Title.

The stranger in Germany is always
impressed by the Importance of the
sofa in marking social distinctions. In
deed, among Germans Of the more
comfortable class, those who live from
generation to generation In the same
house, every piece Of furniture has its
own history and makes its own associa-
tons, but 1t is always the sofa that is
given the prominent place in n room.
Before 1t usually stands a round or
oval table.
Should there be callers at the average
German house there ensues a certain
| dignihed COmmotlon. Should n caller, a
woman Of lower social standing than
the mistress of the house, arrive she
must take n chair, while the hostess
sits alone on the sofa Should the Wis.
itor be Of higher degree, however, the
matter will be otherwise decided.
This method Of distinction reaches its
highest point when there is tea party,
or kaffeeklatsch coffee gossip, for
then the oldest woman with the big
gest title must sit on the sofa. and the
next in rank occupies the place nearest
her
AS the proudest usually arrives lat.
est, general stir Is likely to take
place, for if the Frau Doktorin, the
wife Of physician or scholar, Is sit
ting on the sofa she must vacate her
position should Frau Professorin ap-
pear The Frau Majorln, or wife Of
major, may be thoroughly enjoying the
seat Of honor, but she must yield 1t
without hesitation when the Frau Cen
eralin comes in. The whole company
rise In such an event to do honor to the
distinguished guest, and there must
necessarily follow n general readjust-
ment Of places.
Neither unmarried men nor very
young women can expect to enjoy the
privilege Of sitting on a German sofa.
The piece Of furniture that stands
next in honor to the sofa is the easy
chair, which is sometimes called sor-
genstuhl, or chair Of cares. Should
German sit down to worry he must
have a comfortable seat, that so i'm
portant mood may be endured with
dignity. A common chair would not
serve his purpose in the least But the
sorgenstuhl is, so to speak, for domes-
tic and personal use only, The sofa
is the part Of the entire social frame

BRAVERY IN BATTLE.
And the Terrors of War, Modern and
Of Other Times.

Of Other Times.
Much is written of the terrors of
modern war. Little is written of the
terr0rs Of the wars of old. Yet it is
doubtful if war today makes greater
demands on human courage than war
in the time Of Grant, of Washington,
Of Turenne, Of Caesar, Of Alexander
Consider a standup infantry fight in
the days Of the Revolution. After the
preliminary cannonade and long dis
lance musketry practice the two regi-
ments marched toward each other in
close ranks. At given distance, fire.
quently at thirty yards, there was n
halt, smashing volley and then a
bayonet charge through the smoke.
Bullets those days were large and Of
soft lead, and the man who was hit
went down. Over him tramped his
comrades or the enemy, shooting and
stabbing.
That was the type of infantry battles
for $50 years. TO minimize the cour-
age needed to make a good soldier un-
der such circumstances is to fly in the
face Of common sense.
Modern war requires a different type
Of courage from that needed Of old.
The old touch Of elbows is lacking
The old feeling of companonship is
gone. The modern soldier must be
more alert, better taught, keener wit
ted, than the olden soldier of equal
value But 1t does not follow that the
modern soldier is the braver man.
The men who fought at the "bloody
angles" of Chickamauga and Spottsyl-
vanla, at Bunker Hill and Oriskany,
at Riyoll, Zorndorf and Malplaquet,
had no need to learn heroism in any
modern school. 1t was theirs already,
