Among women lighthouse keepers is Mrs. Nancy Rose, keeper of the lights at Stony Point, N. Y. She is ono of the five from en in this statu to fill such a position. Ber husband was appointed lighthouse keeper at this point in 1853. In 1857 iie flied, and she was appointed in her husband's stead and has served ever 6ince. tier life has been less full of stirring incidents than those of many others, for the Hudson river is not beset with severe ItormB.

fehe has been compelled might tax tho strength of even strong men, yet for pearly 40 years she has been found at her feost of duty, with calm, quiet courage dofng tho task that ha6 been set her-^-a lonely, thankless task, under dark or starry skies, in clear or stormy weather.

And as much might be said of others pmong the scoro of womon who tend tho lighthouse beacons and sound the fog bell in nights heavy and dark with mi6t. The story of Grace Darling has often been told, but that of Ida Lewis (now Mrs. Wilson), at present keeper of the Limo Rock lights, te. I., who put off alone in a boat on a itempestuous sea to go to the rescue of Bliipwrecked sailors, is America's complement to the heroic English woman's story.

Germs In the Dnstpan.

Of all ways of removing dirt from a carpot the worst is by tho uso of the ordinary short brush, which involves the housemaid kneeling down in tho midst of the dust Which sho so needlessly creates and drawing it into her with every breath, Jb'or ordinary household uso something like linoleum, something which can be \vashed vith a wet cloth every morning, v.'ould seem to bo the best covering for floors, but if carpets must bo—and it is Impossiblo to teach tho present generation tho ovils of seeking present comfort at tho expense of futuro risks—at least lot us remember that carpets may bo washed even whero they lie that till tho day of washlug comes a closed sweeper is far better than a brush, and that tho worst form of brush is ono with a short handle.—British iMedical Journal.

charity. The flower lover is almost always the flower givor, and nothing is sweeter than to see a dear ohiId bTingto the fond mother tilio first blossom from "my own garden."

Tho bosc and surest way to shut out evil thoughts ia to furnish themes for good and Juiro and beautiful thoughts. A mind en? .feaged in tho attention to beautiful thiBgs Jn naturo has no place for that which Is liateful and ugly, and we caunot overesbllinato tho real value of flower culture as a 'jiart of children's education.

I have often wondered if thochildreo we 'tee stealing flowers do this entirely from ^niscliief, or if somo do not really love the

When the Clock Stops.

Did you ever try dootoring a clock that ."Nvouidn't go with kerosene? If not, try it the next time your timepiece ceases to tick.

The effect is admirable, the method simple, If it is a clock that the oil will not injure—of niotal, wood, china or marble— place it in a bowl and pour about a pint of cil into tliej back. Place it face downward fend let it stand over night. Even if the jfaco bo of paper and gets completely Soaked with the oil, it will do no harm. I^The kerosene will evaporate within a few Ways and leave it perfectly clean. If, after this treatment, the clock will not go, it is becausethero is something radioally wrong yrvuh 1L Soma essential part must be Dro)ken.

Children and Flowers.

Wlso and loving parents want, thoir children to bo educated to enjoy what is beautiful in art, in literature and iu nature. They may question tho inOuenco of luxurious living, may fear tho effect of elegant fun Surroundings as inducing indolenco of mind ahd body or as fostering a spirit of discontent, but they cannot think that a life of "plain living and high thinking" would exclude yleasuro in a sunny sky or modest flower. Tho little garden where tho chilrden aro allowed to have a plot of their own affords ono of tho most innocent delights of childhood. Tho planting, tho "Weeding, tho watching for tho first blossom, keep the whole family interested and Is tho most thoroughly natural and healthful pleasure a child can have. There is in ifcll this a senso of ownership which is as iinselfish as possession can bo, for conneoted with it is usually the desire to give away (the first fruits as an offering to friendship

MJm Anthony and Her Bloomers. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton says that nothing has ever marred the 45-year-o!d friendship that has existed between her and Susan I* Anthony There was one time long ago, though, when it had a severe shock. Bloomers were the innocent cause.

Both Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony believed in bloomera. They discussed the matter seriously and decided that bloomers were a rational form of dress, conducive to good health. They further deoidod that it was their duty to wear this costume and try to get others to do so.

Each woman had a bloomer suit made. The two plumed to don them on the same day at Mrs. Stanton's house. At the appointed time Mrs, Stanton, who theil lived in the country, sent her carriage to meet Miss Anthony at the station. Aunt Susan had planned a little surprise for Mrs. Stanton and had her bloomers on, concealed by her petticoats. Before she reached the house she told the driver to let her out, and she would walk up the hill. When Mrs. Stanton came to the door to greet ber friend, she was astonished to see ber walking up the hill in all the glory of bloomers.

But instead of the praise which Misu Anthony expected Mrs. Stanton exclaimed, "My goodness, Susan, if I look like that in bloomers, I'll never wear them!" Miss Anthony's feelings were hurt by this remark. So the compact to wear bloomers was declared off.

Servants'. Bathrooms.

There is ono convenience which is sadly laoking in the houses of well to do peoplo. In ninety-nine bouses out of a hundred that cost over $8,000 tq build euoh a thing as a servants' bathroom ia unheard of. Just why this should be it is very difficult to say. Certainly the people who perform household service and those who are occupied about the outside of a place have quite as much need for this convenience as tho leisure members of the household.

Ono of the most admirable plans for a house for well to do people has an run ning out from the rear extension of the dwelling. In this is a large room which is used as a servants' sitting and dining room, and a large entry way whero their out of door garments may be kept for immediate necessity. On the next floor are sleeping rooms and a large and commodious bath, with hot and cold water and all conveniences Eaoh servant has his or ber own towels, and regulations as to keeping the place in order are very striotly enforced.

It is often remarked by visitors that the servants in this house are unusually neat and tidy looking and have wonderfully fresh complexions! This, the mistress of the hou?e declares, is owing to frequent baths, on which.sho insists Why is it that

To those who know the true inwardness of things tho sight of a housemaid brushing a dusty carpet is suggestive of many evils. The death of Pasteur reminded the jvorld of what is constantly present in the all well managed establishments oannot

thoughts pf medical men—namely, that, [while micro organisms aro tho great producers of disease, dust is tho groat carrier of micro organisms. Now that wo know these things it is distressing to And how little our knowledge is put to practical Use, and to see old customs still unchanged, old habits which we know to bo destructive carried on, and to find tho housemaid on hor knees, with her brush and dustpan, stirring up dust to tho detriment of every one and breathing germ laden particles to her own destruction. It needs but a small amount of common sense to soo that if carpets must continue, a tiling greatly to bo deprecated, thoy should be rubbed with a damp cloth rather than brushed, and that if, in deference to prejudice, tliev must bo brushed, this should bo dono by a covered Ainorican sweeper, with plenty of damp toa leaves.

About Names.

What a pity it is that those who have the naming of us could ncA dip into the future farther than human oyo can see, and thereby'avoid such startling misflts as stumpy, freckled Lilys, and tough, 6crawny Blanches! Both these names ought to pertain to what is fair, not pale. But precious few over think* that a name is anything mere than a mere arbitrary collocation of sounds. They have not taken the troubio to learn that Ethel means noble that Sarah is a prinoess, Susan a lily that Anne, Phcebo, Lucy and Ciara aro in signification the same, all standing for light, brightness, shining purity. So is Theodora, tho gift of God. Dorothy has almost the same meaning. Dolores is the sorrowful or sorrowing one. Esther, Estollo, Estrolla aro variants in the many languages of tho Greek astra, a Btar. Mary and Martha aro identical In significance—both doom thoir possessor to bitterness.

Margaret, the poarl, the "day's oyo," is more generally understood. Its alternatives, Gretohen and Peggy, have, of course,. the same meaning. There are indeed all the elements of romance, chivalry and poetry bound up in tho world's nomenclature if wo do but take the pains to make ourselves comprehend them.

The Kindergarten Idea.

The kindergarten idea is everywhere. Ono sees it in all the games introduced for children, when even a small girl'? paper dolls must, perforoe, bo historical queens instoad of "Minnio Miller" and "Rosie Rustic," whom tho little mothers used to love when tiny boys must play with "really truly" engines on a lilllputian scale and have building blocks which "make something," instead of the idle of piling up to merely throw over again in a heap of rectangular bits of wood. Instruction is sandwiched in between the very tfcin layers of mere amusement in juvenile magazines and general literature. Mental, moral and physical improvement is so constantly thought of, and the old fashioned notion of sheer fun is so slightingly regarded, that one may be forgiven for wondering what will be the end of all this constant effort at development. Can it be for tho best good of the growing and naturally self conscious child that it should be inoessantly under the microscope of its elders? Tbe ohild is not only the father of the man at preset he is the first thought of tho man, the ruler and instigator of muoh that he does. And it is the fad of the moment that) wbinan should be his absolute 6lavo.—St. Louis Republic.

Poverty Lnaobtou.

Jf one is genuinely pressed for money, this serves ae a very oheap yray of discharging social obligations,' and if it is only selected for a change it does beautifully as an out of the ordinary something that will oreate a lot of fun, at any rate. Bring the kitchen table into the dining room. Put on no cloth, or one that has been darned and redarned until it looks like amass of drawnwork or patched and rqpatobed until it resembles a eras? qulit. Use tallow dips in tbe"verlest pOveity sfcrioken candlesticks. The wooden plabtero tbAt ontter comes in shoold serve as plates. Bone handled knives and two tined forks are in order, and the menu bread in every oonceivable form, toasted and nntoasted, cheese and baker's kisses, the regulation trio supposed to be the staple dally bill of fare for all poor folks who have married for love. This menu oan, of ooarse, bo augmented by sundry dishes on the buffet that may appeal more strongly to cultivated palates, but in its ineageraess and tho absence of all wonted refinements in the equipments of the table thp poverty luncheon as described is essentially an fait.

Thonght Begets tJfliness.

Sir James Criohton-Browne is a oelebrated London doctor who, between times, gives hitf thoughts to *the consideration of women: Sir Jamoa has argued with himself from every poiat of view that women cannot arfcjve at the higher mental processes. WheC, as In tbe oase of Miss Fawoctt, the girls enter double firsts at Hewnham and Girfcon ana go on totter than the senior wranglers, then Sir James argues that if tfcey oan they ought not.

A roan thicks ho is the lord of creation asu ,"ght to be obeyed by every member of his family because he furnishes the money V-j which to buy potatoes and beefsteak. The claim to supremacy rosts, I think, on a very slender foundation, have a notion that in most households the woman has harder work than the man and works longer hours. Money, of course, is necessary, but rooking and houseoleanlng and keeping thi- ehildren and "the gov ernor" himself in proper shape is a task which no toon would care to undertake. I suppose that if a woman were to attempt to do her husband's work she would make a botch of It, and I am sure that if a man were. to attempt to do his wife's work ho would rush to the nearest drug store at the end of a week and swallow a strong dose of rat poiBon. Things are arranged pretty well, on the whole, and the man has the better end of the bargain.—New York Herald.

A Hairbrush Case.

One of the most useful of homemade presents ia a satin case to protect the bristles of the silver baoked hairbrush. It is very easy to make, the materials required being a few pieces of pasteboard and a quarter of a yard of fanoy silk or satin. The pasteboard is cut the same size and shape as the baok of the brush and neatly oovered with the silk. A band as deep as the bristles and long enough to go all around the llrgfc piece is also oovered and joined to the other so as to make a box without a lid. The brush fits into this, the bristlos are protected from the dust, and the silver back shows to great advantage. If the join is too evident, as is frequently tho case with homemade articles, a bow may be placed over it. but it must be tacked down as smoothly as the bow on a man's hat, the object being to avoid dust.

The Tea Boom.

A tearoom In a home used only in winter is at the back of tho house, where it can have the afternoon sun as late as possible. One side of the room is almost entirely of glass, with a wide, long window seat under it. About the room are many chairs, all chosen for their comfort. There are high backed ohairs and low backed chairs, cushions galore, stools and beautiful little tea tables. Though chosen for comfort, the ohairs in a tea room should not be heavy looking. A pretty nook for a tea table may be made in a corner of a drawing room or reception hall by using a handsome large soreen.

Home Distilled Water.

Distilled water can be made easily at home and be continually on hand for cooking, drinking or bathing. It is the only water that should be used upon tho Jaoe, while for a drink for dyspeptlos it Js unequaled, oausing no disoomfort after it is taken. Take a teakettle, with a closoly fitting cover and a gutta percha or lead pipe fastened to the spout. The pipe should lead through a pall of cold water into a receptacle for holding the distilled water. Tho steam from the boiling water goos off through the tube, condenses under tho cold water and runs out pure into the receiver.

Kale of Dress and Furnishing. It is an invariable rule of dress that it should first attraot by its becomingness, never by the material or color. Street costume should be so indefinite that a casual passerby would not notioo it.

So .likewise in furnishing. The carpet fhould not be conspicuous. Artists declare that it should bo of neutral color, but warmer tints aro preferred by many whose taste cannot be questioned. The walls should bo used merely as settings for the piotures, not furnishod to draw attention to thomsolves as walls.

Set a Good Example.

Children early catch the tone -of their surroundings and become harsh or tonder, indifferent or solioitous, sympathetic or selfish, courteous or rudo, as those around them. By a loving example and persuasive influence they can be acoustomod from the first to take pleasure in each other's joy and to be sorry, for eaoh other's pain to try to promote theone and assuage the other to be kind and courteous, generous and self sacrificing, until sach'feclings and conduct growto be tho habit of their^lives.

Official Returns From All Over the Conntry 8how That the «rtt Information Given One is Not Trustworthy.

Special to the Chicago Tribune. Washington, March -29.—During the last few days there has been a significant change of tone among the opponents of McKinley, and now they are professing the utmost confidence in their ability give the Ohio man his Waterloo. The 'Reed men are especially aggressive, and the figures given out by Joe Manley on the eve of his departure for St. Louis not only gave them much comfort, but manifestly caused the McKinley men much soreness. The Manley estimate gave McKinley 150 and the opposition 210 of the uncontested delegates, with thirty-six delegates against whose election formal contents were filed and who were not •counted. It was not only these figures which caused the Reed and Allison men be so confident, but there was another factor, which was explained 'by Representative Aldrich thus: "We have just began to receive the official returns from all over the country and the result has been to show that the McKinley managers have been working the press associations and otiher news sources iin the most outrageous manner. Reports have gone out of conventions declaring for McKinley where there were 'not even primaries 'being held. Every district in the country has .been systematically claimed by the McKinley men. Early reports in many cases have stated that delegates were for McKinley where later official reports have shown that the (MeKinley men were fairly beaten in a square figh't.

Fress Keporta Wrong.

"In North Carolina, West Virginia, HSinois, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana, among other states, the first reports sent out to outside newspapers have been proved to be absolutely false. (Evidence has come to us from so many parts of thQ country that the MeKinley strength has been willfiully overestimated that we are convinced he cannot and will not secure a majority of tihe delegates."

The 'Manley estimate was such a thor.n in tfhe flesh of 'the IMcKinley men, and, seemed to show that the wave was at its highest point, tha't the Ohio men bestirred themselves to counteract its influence with a fresh lot of figures of the .right sort. General Grosvenor gave1 out

!hlis

weekly higth -tide estimate today of the McKinley strength up to and including 'Saturday night. In 'this connection he stated it was not his purpose to claim a single delegate vote tha't was not absolutely McKinley's, and he especially insisted that he youd .not linsult any delegate who had been elected and instructed for either of the other candidates by intimating that that delegate would forfeit his honor as a man and his standing in politics by declaring for any other man. Here is the vote for McKinley by states: Alabama ...... 4 Arkansas ..... 16 Florida

Total 255 Took Groat Pains. "Lhave taken great -pains in this maiiter," said General 'G-rosvenor. "The extraordinary .tafole sent from Washiinigton yesterday .for 'tihe eacouragrem.eait of the frienids of another candidate suggested to me the .propriety of the greatest possible accuracy in making my statement a-at this time, and I sent telegrams to a.ll the states An, •which tiheireis any possible 'controversy and have received a,rusiwers (from ithe distinguished Republicans connected iwiitih "the party orgaaiiza'tion in thise states. Of course I have continued to 'give 'the full strength of Ohio iand Indiana, which have noit yet elected all t^eir delega/tas, but they are 'beyond controversy, henje t'hie perfect .propriety of these figures. I do not a statement for/tihe other candi•dajtes because, as 'between the opponents of iJI-cKinley, I ido not 'know exactly the division up to date of the delegates elected. "Looking fonwa/nd ithe most cheerful prospects present themselves. New England has been all along conceded to Mr. Reed in a body and no effort has been made by Governor McKinley's friends to secure & single vote In NewEngland, and not only ©o, but every movement in itlha-t direction- has been steadily discoTin'tenancfed by 'McKinley's friends. So thiajt vote (has been discounted and there is no boom for airay-body in 'the iregiatejiiifug off At. The maximum of that vote is seventy-eight The states which are yet to elect and in which there will be pactically solid McKinley delegations give today the most ample assurance that he will pass the middle lime of the isigigrgegaite and have a good margin for contingencies and accidents."

Bit of Political Jaggling.

Man ley, who, although Ree*d*s lieutenant, is* secretary of'the national committee and therefore in a positiio.n to obtain accurate information.

Table Generally DiscuBiiod.

The official estimate 6f McKlnley'a strength has been generally discussed 'tonight, and the opinion ia freely expressed that- General Grosvenor 'has •himself demonstrated that the MeKinley wave has reached about as far up 'the beach as it is likely to go and that from this -time on the friends of Reed, Allison, Morton, Quay and Cullom will do the most of the work of giving out tables.'

The McKinley managers here have endeavored sedulously to create the idea that their opponents were piling up contest, but the New York Tribune of today, the leading McKinley organ, shows that there will be as many McKinley contesting delegations knocking at the doors of the St. Louis convention as of all the other candidates combined.

This effectually disposes of the story that the "bosses" are scheming to knock out the Ohio man by seating contesting delegations from the iStouth.

AFTER MORTON—WHO?

How Will New York Swing After Its Favorite Son looses But while this delegation will stand for Morton as long as 'ttere is any chawoe for hSs nomination, 14 is now certain that the leaders are prejvaring for swift coinoen'tra•01071 upon a candidate w.ho will be the most likely to overthrow the McKunley Influence, says a leitrter in the Philadelphia Press. Will St be Reed? Undoubtedly majority of the Naw York delegatfito-n can be swung for Read, provided it is made clc&.r tha,t by so doling- there ajppears to be a good dhance of his nomination. It cannot be swung tor Allison. The Press has ctonstawtily repcrltetd thiait ilt is useless to look for any substantial Neriw York support for Alliison. His name does not evoke any enthusiasm 5n 'the ptulby here, and •wlhile, of course, if nomtoalted, he would be loyally suipported, y«t ma ®uidh Campaign could be dairrtied on for ham here as would surely follow MuKtlmley's n'amiait n, certa/lnl t'hait of Mortxwi, and probably thiat otf Reed.

The iindica'UiOna are thait Mr. Piatt and his tfrieinds have alreajdy leianned tlhat Allison, eacceflpltUng in Iowa, is not a candidate who a1p?ea-ls to the masses of the Ropu/blfican party. It seems as though the very qualities wfii'ch have caused him to be respected and admitred by .those who have had long association with him in the senate are tihe identical ones wlh&dh caused him to be reg-arided "by the masses Of the party rwlith nio more 'than negative entihusia®m. Cert-aiirUy, h.e is withlout popular or political support in th'is state, and While tihere miigiht be an effort made by the plailfUciafns to defeat McKtailey with total, (if it were feSt 'that the majsses of the party here would indorse sudh action, yet it is tJhe truth tio say thaJt Senator Allison is ntlt refgtartidd in New York WMi any great fl&vtor as a dandidate.

If the campaign for Governor Morton as a business man, rejyreseniting in the most satistflaidtory way business interests, •hould fall, then it seems as Chough 'tihere were leift only Speaker Reed, uhless, in their anxieity to defeat MeKinley, the New Ytork .poU'tStodans are willing to forget their grievances of the past, and .to unite wtitih those who are anxious to bring exPreBd'dent Karriisotti's naime betfare the oonvenltlion.

Surgical Operations for the Onre of Piles and Rectal Diseases

NO LONGER NECESSARY.

Medical Discovery' Which Will Changs tb« Treatment of All Soch Diseases.

It has long beeq thought not only by some physicians but by the people in general that the common, painful and exceedingly annoying trouble, piles, was practically incurable by any other means than a surgical operation, and this belief has been the cause of years of needless suffering, because of the natural dread of surgical operations.

There are many salves, ointments and similar remedies on them^rketwhich afford some relief in eases pf piles, but tbe Pyramid Pile Cure is tbe only preparation so far

Mrs. M. C. Hinkley of 601 Mississippi St, Indianapolis, was told by her physicians
