SACRED TO TENDER MEMORY
Sunday Night Sparkling Time Of
Joy That Leaves Its Impression
on the Heart.

The Sunday night sparkling is a
sacred institution, the Manchester
Mirror and American remarks.
But for it, life would be at a GER
tain age not worth living, and race sui
eide would become indeed a matter
of serious apprehension.
The man who has not tender mem.
ories of taking his girl home from Sun
day evening service and going in for
"a little while" is apt to be a crusty
bachelor hating women because he
never knew one in her most charming
attitude.
The man whose youth was never
mellowed by a Sunday night kiss,
stolen from not too unwilling lips, has
missed half his life.
Half? Yes, nine-tenths!
The Sunday nights when the fire
burned low-and the lamp, too-hold
hallowed place in the memories Of
every normal life. The low fire and
the low light have cast a. softened
glow that reaches all the way to the
grave.
They who are grown old and heart
hardened may sneer at it now and
think that young hearts should be
calloused as old ones are; but time
was with all of us when we looked
forward through the seven d1ys of the
week to Sunday night as the golden
time of the week
And our fathers did it. And our
grandfathers. And our great-grand.
fathers. 1t is an ancient human Gus
tom that did not originate with our
own youth or fail with it. The chill
dren do it in spite of our frowns
And our grandchildren will. And our
great-grandchildren. Generations come
and go, but Sunday night sparkling
remains.

such a lighthouse may be seen at
Sandy Hook, for although the first of
these structures to be erected in
America was placed at the entrance
OF Boston harbor as early as 1716, the
New Jersey lighthouse is the oldest
now in existence upon our coasts. At
one time the Illuminating material
consisted Of SO lard-oil candles. At a
later period oil burners were installed,
while during successive periods kero-
Bene was used in an old type float
lamp, and electricity, then in the eX-
perimental stage, was adopted. After
Ehis there was a recurrence to the oil
lamp, and at the present time incan-
descent yapOr is employed. Here 1t
must be admitted that lighthouses,
when serving a double purpose, have
not always figured as temples to the
gods, for by the British, who built this
lighthouse and put it in commission in
the year 1854. it was intended to serve
also as a military prison. 1t was con
structed with a dungeon underneath,
and just 100 years later, in supplying
a foundation for an iron stairway, evil
dence of it's former use was made ap-
parent through the discovery Of a
vault containing a human skeleton.
This old lighthouse also had it's secret
underground passage, the entrance to
which was barred by an iron door To-
Gated in a nearby hillside. Then, too,
IN this year of reconstruction, the
holes that were made in the sides of
the tower by cannon shots from Brit
fish men-of-war were Cemented; so if
the tradition must connect lighthouses
and temples, the one at Sandy Hook
was certainly reared to Moloch, the
god Of war, though in the past 100
years it has lighted many a British
ship on pacific errands into New York
harbor.
With the growing complexity and
advance toward perfection Of light
house system, lighthouse zones are es-
tablished at varying distances from
the land. the character Of the light,
whether double or single colored or
white, fixed, flashing or intermittent,
being determined by the requirements
OF its position and the use to which
1t is put as a signal.
While great elevation would seem a
leading requirement if a coast light
is to perform effective service, it is a
positive disadvantage in certain local
tties and at certain seasons of the
year, when, as in st. Georges channel, /

L Was Not to Him.

It was in a city restaurant that a
little short woman and her tall hus-
band entered and sat at a table.
"Wil you have fried oysters?"
asked the man, glancing over the bill
of fare.
YES" answered the little short
woman, as she tried in vain to touch
her toes to the floor. "And John,
want a hassock."
John nodded, and, as he handed his
order to the waiter he said, And
bring a hassock for the lady
"One hassock%" repeated the waiter,
with more than ordinary interest.
Then he fingered around the table,
brushing the tablecloth and rearrang-
ing the articles on it, while his face
got very red. Finally he came around
to Johns side and whispered:
Say, mister, haven't been here
long and I'm not on to all these
things. VIII the lady have the has.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF STERLING MERIT
BY MARY RuHL.

1t seemed like a dream to Arthur
Lesslng to be back again at Squire
Brenner's house that afternoon In
early May.
The placid New England country,
green with young grass, the apple
trees in blossom, the we'll remembered
scenes came back so vividly to his
remembraAoe 1t was four years
since he had left Wakefield, to make
his way irr the world, and now, at the
age of twenty-slx, he was back, Bren-
ners guest, and already with an es'
tablished position in the city.
1t was an open secret that he had
come back to ask Madge to be his
wife They were old friends. She
had written to him sometimes, and
there was always a note of intimacy
In her letters It had been an idyllic
love affair, though no word had been
spoken.
And they received him like an old
friend. When MadGe shook hands
with him he felt the same subtle
touch of sympathy. And Edith, her
sister, smiled as she greeted him.
She seemed to know; everybody knew
the purpose of his return during that
week that he was to be the guest OF
his fathers oldest friend.
Squire Brenner alluded tactfully to
the impending engagement as they
strolled under the big chestnut trees
together.
The man who gets Madge will be
a lucky fellow" he said. she is a
girl of sterling merit. And she will
inherit a good deal of money" Then
he turned suddenly and shook hands
with the young fellow.
In the old days he and Leslie Carter
had been rH,als for Madge. Leslie
had borne no malice when his suit
was gently declined. Lessing had
hardly expected to see Carter there
but he seemed to be on intimate
terms with the family He, too, was
a weekend guest at the Brenner
home,
During dinner Lessing noticed with
a touch of the old jealousy that Car
ter seemed to have established a
brotherly relationship with the girls.
And this was all that was needed to
kindle the young mans determine
ton. He would ask Madge that night.
The opportunity was easily arrived
at for the squire retired to his IL
brary, and Mrs. Brenner nodded over
her sewing. The girls and Carter had

Gumdrops.

An old man in indianapolis, who has
lost all his teeth, takes his 'toothless-
ness" philosophically.
1t is difficult for him to articulate
as he did in the days of his youth,
and he admits that gums are not quite
as useful as teeth when it comes to
talking.
In fact his sole dependence on his
gums in his old days has led him to
refer to his misfortune cheerfully by
calling his words "gumdrops."
