WINNERS AND LOSERS.
When men achieve success they try
To let the world become aware ;
Iho winner holds his head up high
And passes with a splendid air.
When people fail they do not shont
Their failure to the" world, but Btrlve,
While keeping men from finding out,
To still, somehow, keep hope alive.—
Men win and proudly tell It, while
*he ones who fail still bravely smile,
And God be thanked that this Is so,
Else as you hurried through the street
for eai-h proud man that you should meet
A thousand would be pale with woe.
—S. E. Kisor.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I FOR THE BABY'S SAKE, £
"Now, No. 18, finish your ironins,
for I want you in the storeroom."
No. IS did not answer me, but bent
her head assentingly. As she did so,
I noticed a tear fall from her eyes.
I was interested in this prisoner,
tor she was far above the usual class
of criminals' for I was at the time of
"which I write second wardress of one
of the county prisons. I had noticed
her superiority to her fellow inmates.
I confess that I had made her lot
•easier in many ways, so 011 this par
ticular occasion I needed her help to
assort clothes in the storeroom. When
she had finished her ironing, we were
soon engaged at the easier task.
We were by ourselves, and had not
been five minutes in the room, when
suddenly my charge burst into a fit
af sobbing, and to my surprise, threw
herself into my arms.
"Come, this will never do. What is
the matter?" I said quietly. "Suppose
the governor were to come in; what
should I do? You would get me into
serious trouble."
She, however, continued to clasp
me round the neck, giving vent to
heartbreaking sobs.
"You really must be quiet, and tell
me the reason of this," I said, with
a little asperity.
"I will be quiet, madam, ' she said,
with great effort. "I am very miser
able and unhappy."
"Of course," I answered, as cheer
fully as I could. "All are miserable
Who come here, except the hardened
ones. But you will soon be home
again. One short month, and you will
toe with your friends."
"But my child, madam, my dear lit
tle boy," she sobbed. "He is ill, and
if I (to not see him ere long he may
die. All his cry is for his mother, and
I cannot, oh, 1 cannot got to him. What
shall I do? My heart almost breaks
to see him, and soothe his pains and
troubles. What shall I do?" And she
laid her head on my shoulder, with
a feint, despairing cry which wrung
my heart, for I had two bonnie chil
dren at home, and my heart went out
to her.
"How do you know this?" I inquired
when her grier had subsided.
"The lame woman who came in yes
terday told me at exercise, and that
'my boy's only cry was for his
mother.'"
"Well," I replied, "your friends will
take care of him, and a month will
soon »-ass —take courage." And I
kiss-ed her, for I was a woman, if a
wardress, and apt to harden my heart
■at times.
"But none can take his mother's
place." was all she could say; then
•clasping me suddenly to her, she whis
pered eagerly, "but if you choose, you
could help me."
"What do you mean?" I said.
"In this way," she said. "1 want to
he at home in three or four days."
"Nonsense," I replied. "You are los
ing your wits; get on with your work."
She obeyed, but continued; "I know
I can get out if you will aid me a lit
tle, and no one shall be the wiser. I
■want you to post me a letter only, and
l>efore long 1 should be with my dear
hoy," clasping her hanfls and looking
intensely at me.
"Now you must put such matters en
tirely trom you. Supposing," I said,
to humor her, "I do as you suggest,
*nd it was found out, the consequence
would l>e I should lose my pensic'n,
which is only a few years off, and I
have two children to think of, and am
a widow."
She was quiet at this for a time, and
•did her work in a random way; then
suddenly:
"What amount of money do you cal
culate would bring in interest equiva
lent to your pension?"
"A thousand pounds," I said, smil
ing, and believing that it would put
«uch thoughts away from her mind.
She dropped the clothing 'she held
and seized my hands firmly. "If you
were to receive one thousand pounds,
would you help me? Swear it by the
love you bear your children, and as
you hope for their welfare."
"Oh, yes, I'll promise that," I re
plied, to humor her, for I thought she
xnust be a little distracted with grief.
"Remember, that is a solemn prom
ise," she said, and just upon it the
hell rang to close work, and the pris
oners began to troop to their cells.
At the end of another hour my duty
vroul-1 be all over for the night, and
mfter seeing all the inmates of the
noils I should transfer my keys to the
night wardress in charge and go home.
Whpn I came to No. 18's cell I found
her calmer, and, putting her arms
around me, she embraced and kissed
s>e, whispering: "Good night, dear
JRiulam. Remember, and God will
bless* you." I passed out and left her
tor the nght. hoping that she had for
gotten her Idea of the letter.
As I livefl outside, I soon put on my
hat and cloak, which covered my pris
on uniform, and left for the' night,
■and was soon at home with my chil
dren. Judge of my astonishment, af
taking off my cloak,when I put
my hand into my dress pocke", to fluu
an unstamped letter, which Na 18
had evidently slipped there before I
left her cell.
It was addressed to a city 15 miles
away, and my first thought was to de
stroy it, and I held it in my hand over
the Are, but my heart gave a leap as
I thought of her child; and looking
across the room, saw my own dear
boy, with his curly head bent over his
slate, and my hand stayed. I will not
burn it, I thought. I will wait until
morning, and think what I must do
for the right; so I laid it on the man
telpiece.
After we had had tea I left my lit
! tit- girl of 12 to clear away while I
| went out to buy some eatables for the
next day. I was away about an hour,
and on returning my daughter greeted
me with:
"Mamma, I bought a stamp and post
ed your letter just in time. Another
minute and it would have been too
late."
"What letter, darling, was that?"
"The one you put on the mantel
piece," she answered, laughingly; "and
you owe me a penny for the stamp,
remember."
I sank into a seat, overcome by the
thought that the letter was gone for
good or evil, and at i-e hands of my
child.
I had a restless night, and ongoing
to my duty next morning found my
charge cheerful.
"I know you have helped me. I
know it. I have been dreaming of my
boy, and he said he was better, and
would soon see me."
"Silence," I replied. "I cannot bear
any more of this. I shall get into
trouble."
"No, no you will not; and I shall
bless you all my life But I will say
no more," at which I left her.
Next morning, before going on duty,
I received by post a small wooden box.
On opening it I found a bundle of
banknotes and a letter, the notes be
ing in 50s to the value of one thousand
pounds, at sight of which my knees
shook under me, the perspiration
rolled from my forehead, and I near
ly fainted. Here was a predicament;
but I soon revived, and proceeded to
read the letter.
"Dear Madam —My wife informs me
that you have consented to help her,
and I have received a letter from her
which you have doubtless posted, for
which aid, at her desire, I inclose you
what you need, with many thanks.
Hum this and do not use the notes
for some time, for fear of suspicion;
at any rate, not until you hear from me
again. Tell my wife one word, 'Yes.'
I ask this as a favor."
I dropped the letter in the fire, and
■then, like a guilty thing I hid the
notes under a loose board in the attic
floor. When I commenced duty and
saw the anxious mother, she looked
at me with eager eyes, and, as my lips
framed the word "Yes," the tears
rolled down her cheeks. "My dear
boy, then, is better; 1 will trouble no
more." I left her, thinking she might
as her boy was better, now give up
her thought of escape and settle down
quietly. Consequently, my mind be
came easier.
Another day passed, and I left her
once more. All that night it was fog
gy, and next morning I was, to my
consternation informed that No. 18
had escaped during the night, having
loosened the bars of her window, and,
being a slender woman, had squeezed
through onto the sloping roof of a
building, down which she had crept,
thence down a ladder which had been
left by the painters; and being then
in the open yard of the prison, she
had taken the ladder to the wall, on
gaining the top of which some help
had been afforded from the outside,
possibly by a rope ladder. There all
trace was lost.
Of course I was examined, with oth
ers, before the governor, but nothing
could be elicited, at which I was much
relieved and thankful, and I never en
joyed getting home more than I did
that night.
Matters went on as usual, and I had
not touched my notes, in fact, I
Eeemed to care nothing for them —
when one morning, about six weeks
later, I received a bulky package, ad
dressed in a lady's hand, bearing the
Canadian postmark. I broke the seals
quickly and found, to my intense sur
prise, bank notes again equal to the
value of one thousand pounds. The
letter inclosed explained everything:
"My Dear Friend—You will no
doubt have wondered many things,
with others, what had become of No.
18. I am now in Canada with my hus
band and dear little boy, who is now,
thanks to your aid and God's bless
ing, quite well.
"You no doubt know how I escaped.
My husband was to wait for me on the
outside, which I knew would be on the
same night on the day you gave me
his message, 'Yes.' I expect you
thought I had given up my idea. I
descended by a rope ladder which my
husband had thrown to the top of the
wall, and behind a fast trotter was
soon in a trusted friend's house clasped
in my child's arms. May you never
be separated from your children. I
must tell you in confidence that my
husband is the third son of a noble
man. and was unfortunately led into
difficulties, and got into the toils of
a lot of sharpers and forgers and they
used him as a tool for passing forged
notes. I unknowingly got one of
these notes, and tendering it was ar
rested and suffered imprisonment for
it, as you know, and thus did not in
volve my husband. I was aware that
when my time in prison was over,
that we should leave the country, as
my husband had confessed all to his
father, with a desire to mend, and he
promised to start us to Canada with
five thousand pounds. Then my boy
fell ill, and you know the rest. The
first notes you received from mv hus
band, 1 may at unce say, are forg
eries.
"Burn them, every one without fail,
and if I might advise you, as possibly
you may have some compunction to
use even the good notes for yourself,
invest them for your children, and may
it be a blessing to them. Good by, my
friend."

LIFE IN LIGHTHOUSES.
Much Worse Than I'rlaon, and Keepers
Lose Their Mimls.
During the storms that rage inter
mittently around our coasts in winter,
the landsman's mind turns in sympa
thy toward those who in ship or life
boat are fighting the waves for dear
life. But how often does he give one
thought to the men who immure them
selves in the lighthouses that stud our
coast line?
"I would rather spend my life in a
penal settlement than be a lighthouse
keeper," declared a gentleman to the
writer, after a visit to the Bishop light
house, off the Cornish coast. "A con
vict does see a little of the world he
lives in, but a lighthouse keeper sees
nothing but a dreary expanse of wa
ter. I am not surprised that many of
them should lose their mental bal
ance."
The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse
did not over color the picture. It was
only the other day that one read of the
Longships lighthouse, also off the coast
of Cornwall, having been completely
isolated for many weeks in conse
quence of fearful storms. The keepers
had been reduced to smoking coffee,
hops and tea leaves, though, fortunate
ly. they had not wanted for food.
The keepers of the famous Eddy
stone lighthouse not infrequently find
themselves in a similar predicament.
In a gale the waves that buffet them
selves against this wonderful monu
ment to the engineering skill of the
country are of such stupendous magni
tude that they rise to a height of 200
feet, and sweep right over the lan
tern. To those cooped up inside the
sound of these waves is like that of a
battery of guns at close quarters. "At
such times the house shakes like a
tree with a man on the top of it,"was
the graphic description of one who
spent many years of life there.
The new Eddystone is the roomiest
and most comfortable of all our rock
lighthouses. A sectional view shows
the various compartments, commenc
ing at the bottom with the water tank,
then the entrance, the two oil recepta
cles, the store room, the crane, the liv
ing apartment, the low light, the bed
room and the service room. Formerly
only two keepers were employed in
the lighthouse, but a grim incident re
sulted in their number being increased.
One of the two men died. So fierce ran
the seas that the remaining keeper
could not get the body of his late com
rade to the shore. For a month the
tempestuous weather continued and for
a month the surviving keeper lived
alone in that solitary place with the
body as his only companion. He was
afraid to cast it into the waves for he
might be accused of murder.
Keepers of rock lighthouses do not
last long. The incessant pounding of
the waves against the building, the
loneliness, the want of fresh air and
exercise reduce the men to a state of
nervousness that is sometimes pitiful
to behold. They require a fortnight's
leave every six weeks, but this liberal
allowance does little to improve their
physical state. A medical man whose
duty it is to pay periodical visits to
one of our lighthouses confesses that
there is no remedy for the ills pecu
liar to the keepers except retirement.
The utter isolation of the silent sen
tinels of our coast is well illustrated
by the case of the Bishop lighthouse
aforementioned, which stands right out
in the Atlantic. Not once in a year
is it calm enough for the superintend
ent to land his stores at the lighthouse
steps. They have to be hauled up by
means of a windlass from above. A
■visitor bold enough to visit the place
is "admitted" in a similar way. He
places one foot in a noose at the end
of a rope, which is thrown down to his
boat, and gripping me rope firmly
above his head he is drawn up to the
"set off," as the plinth round the light
house is caned. Thence he climbs up
a perpendicular ladder to the door of
the lighthouse.
Superstition adds a terror to the life
of the men in this lighthouse, for the
first structure was washed away bodi
ly, and the keepers believe that the
rock is haunted. A fear of a different
kind keeps the men of Muckle Flugga
lighthouse—the most northern point of
Scotland—on the tenterhooks of a ter
rible suspense. On three occasions the
huge black rock on which the light
house stands has been shaken by an
earthquake.
There is something comical, though
characteristic of the stiff-necked Scot
in a story which comes from a neigh
boring lighthouse, which is in charge
of two different families. They live
on a desert Island. From year end to
year end they never see a visitor, ex
cept the man who brings their stores.
Eighteen months ago the heads of the
two families quarreled and ever since
they have ceased to speak.
At the shore lighthouse of Ushinlsh
the keeper's family have to travel 40
miles to kirk. It is no reflection on
their piety to add that they are not
regular attendants.
A lighthouse keeper receives a max
imum wage of $375 a year, out of
which he has to supply his own ra
tions. 'ihese consist of such unap
petizing edibles as tinned beef and
hard biscuits, usually washed down
with weak tea and condensed milk. No
in'.oxicating liquors are allowed.—Lon

industrial districts diseases of the ner

and alcoholism are far below the aver

The remarkable marine beetle,
Aepys, believed to be, geologically,
one of the most ancient inhabitants
of the British Islands, and found in
both hemispheres, lives under water
when the tide is in.and on dry land
when the tide is out. The air is its
natural element, and as the tide rises
■ the Aepys hides under a stone, where
' a little globule of air, imprisoned by
its bristly hairs, remains enveloping it
until the water recedes again. Ex
periments have shown that if the
Aepys is kept artificially immersed for
a long time it falls into a condition of
apparent death, but revives on being
exposed to the sun. It is relieved to
prey on minute mollusks.

He found that the lid descends
quickly and rests a little at the bottom
movement. Then it rises more slowly
than it fell. The mean duration of the
downward movement was from .075
to .091 of a second. The time from
the instant the eye rested till it closed
varied from .15 to .17 of a second. In
rising the lid took .17 of a second. The
wink was completed in .4 of a second.

Teaching modern languages by
means of the phonograph is a new de
vice. It is employed by some of the
many correspondence schools that have
sprung up all over the country in the
last year or two.
At the headquarters of the school
the teacher speaks the lesson into the
funnel of the machine. These records
are then mailed to the student, who
may live a thousand miles away, to
gether with a phonograph and several
blank records.
In his own home the student sets
the phonograph going and listens
while it repeats as pure German, Ital
ian or French as the teacher knows
how to speak. Having learned the les
son he repeats it to the talking ma
chine and sends the record back to the
school, where the teacher criticises It :
for his benefit.
Printed lessons are sent out also, but
from the phonograph it is asserted the
pupil learns correct pronunciation as
he never could from books, and almost
as well as he could from the instruct
or at first hand.—New York Sun.

that lie must do this and that and the
other. "You remind me," said the
Ameer, "of a Persian tale. A certain
man took a piece of cloth to a tailor,
and said: 'Make me a morning dress
out of it, and an evening dress—and,
while I think of it, a working coat.'
The tailor did his best, and brought
them all as lie was told. Rut they
were of doll's size. What more could

The Ameer was not a great admirer
of our system of Government. On one
occasion a very high personage way

grave question, and I must refer it to
her Majesty's Government." The

the national virtue of hating the
