A T.lffhthoiißo Keeper's Daughter riunged
Into Seething Waftrs to the Rescue of
Two I>lpu WOO Had Fallen Overboard
—Dove Hunter's Exciting Experience.
A Bridgeport (Conn.) correspond
ent of the New York Herald says that
Stratford Light shelters a heroine.
Agues Judson, tlio pretty daughter of
the light keeper, late on a recent after
noon dashed into the waters that
seethe and boil off the base of tho
light, and with tho help of her brother
brought ashore two men who, while
fishing, had fallen from their boat.
One of the men was about to give up
the struggle for life when tho girl
reached him with a rope and brought
him ashore.
Agnes Judson is scarcely seventeen
years old. Blie lives with her parents
and her brother Henry in the light
houso, and at times assists her father
and brother in attending to the light.
She is a noted swimmer, and lias won
prizes in amateur swimming contests
along the shore.
The water of the Sound off Strat
ford Light is always rough, and under
tho iutluenco of any high wind is
broken into waves which, because of
tho shoals and tho rocks iu the vicin
ity, become dangerous. At times it
is almost certain that any boat anchor
ing in tho vicinity will be dashed to
pieces. Yet notwithstanding the well
known dangers of the spot, it i 3 a
favorite resort for fishermen, tho weak
fish and bluetish running iu' great
numbers in tho vicinity.
Miss Judson was up in the tower of
the lighthouse. A strong wind was
coming in from the south, and the
surface of tho sound was broken into
choppy waves, which were every hour
growing more difficult for any small
boat to contend against. As the
plucky girl was looking oft' shore she
saw a small yawl which had anchored
off tho reef earlier in tho afternoon
pitching and rolling ominously. 111 it
were two men who had been fishing
and who did not seem to appreciate
tho danger of their situation. While
Miss Judson watched them she saw
one of the men arise from one of the
thwarts, nnd, going forward, attempt
to raise tho anchor.
There is considerable wreckage at
this locality, and the man seemed to
be unable to dislodge the anchor,
which had apparently become entangled
in some of the sunken iron and rocks.
His companion, noticing his difficulty,
and being summoned by the fishermen
in the bow, started forward to help, but
he was unused to tho constant shifting
of the boat, and as he reached the for
ward part his companion gave a pull,
which threw him over 011 one of the
gunwales. The sudden roll made the
man in tho bow lose his foothold, and
head first he went overboard into the
seething current. His companion was
unable to recover his balance and
quickly followed tho other fisherman
into the Sound.
All this happened in a minute. Miss
Judson at once appreciated tho peril
of the two men. Seizing the rope of
the alarm bell, which is used only in
cases of the greatest emergency, she
rang an alarm. Then, rushing down
the winding stairs of the tower, slio
called to her brother, who was 111 a
room 011 one of the lower stages, to
follow her, and dashed out 011 the
rocks facing the scene of the accident.
Miss Judson was clad in a light
summer gown. Seizing a rope which
had been fastened to a timber of the
tower, she again called to lier brother
and plunged into tho waves.
The men were struggling in the deep
water a hundred yards from tho light
house. One of them seemed scarcely
able to keep himself afloat. He hud
already shown signs of distress when
Miss Judson 11 oared him. She called
to him at the top of her voice to keep
his courage up and then she struck out
to his rescue.
licnry Judson also had gone into
the water and was following his bravo
sister with as sturdy strokes. The
weaker fisherman seemed just about to
sink for the second time when Miss
Judson succeeded in getting the end
of the rope within his reach. He was
so dazed that at first he did not seem
to know what to do, but the plucky
girl commanded him to "catch hold"
and by sheer force of her determina
tion compelled him to grasp it.
Then with lier assistance the man
was gotten into shallow water, while
Henry attended to the other fisherman
and succeeded in landing him at the
lighthouse platform.
Once within the lighthouse, the man
whom Miss Judson had saved and
whose name is Edward Lowe, was
overcome by his experience, but re
storatives were administered and soon
he and his companion, Herman Chase,
were able to leave the lighthouse and
go to their homes in Bridgeport,
where they related their experience
and the tale of the pluck of pretty
Miss Judson, who had saved both
their lives,
A Dove Hunter'* Exciting: Experience.
"What was the most exciting ex
perience I ever had?" repeated Clar
ence Haight at tho Olympic Gun
Club. "I think it occurred last sum
mer, when I was hunting doves up in
Sonoma County. Now, shooting doves
is not particularly exciting or perilous,
hut this was one of the hottest experi
ences I ever had.
"I had been traveling all day with a
big bag, and was pretty well tired out
when I struck the country road and
started for home. It was a good four
miles' walk, and I was pretty well
pleased to see a wagon load of liay ap
proaching. The rancher gave me per
mission to ride, so I scrambled up on
top, lay down on tliej sweet, new
mown hay and went swaying and
swinging down the road. I was just
dozing oft' when bang went my shot-
Sun. I* had forgotten to take the
cartridges out of it, and something
had pressed the trigger. The horses
gave a jump, and the driver rolled oil'
into the ditch.
"Then I discovered that my gun
had set lire to the hay, and I thought
it was about time for mo to escape.
The horses were teariugaiong the road
as hard as they could run, hut I clam
bered for the side of the load and slid
for the road. The tail of my stout
hunting coat caught on the top of a
sharp standard, and there I hung to
the careening wagon that threatened
to upset and dump a load of burning
bay on me at every turn of the road.
"The fire was crackling and burning
fiercely, and already I could feel the
flames. Still the horses ran, and still
my coat held me fast to that seething j
mass of flames. My trousers com- i
menced getting hot, and then I founcj (
my coat was 011 fire. The next moment
the loose cartridges in my pockets
commenced exploding from the heat,
and then I smelled my doves broiling. •
"J had just made up my mind that
all was over, when the tail of my coat
burned oft' and I was thrown into a
ditch full of water beside the road. I
did not stop to see what became of the
hay and the horses, nor the rancher,
but cut straight across that field for
home. That, gentlemen, was the most
thrilling expeiience of my life." —New
York Press.
Savon Ills bather From a Bull.
John August, of Woodward Hill,
in the town of Coventry, Conn., was
badly gored by a bull the other night
and would have been killed had it not
been for the heroism of his nine-year
old sou, Hubert.
Mr. August was off his guard and
unarmed when he entered the en
closure, and the bull charged him
without warning. Ho dodged suc
cessfully once or twice, but there was
neither time nor opportunity for
escape.
Twice he was tossed on the horns
of the animal. His clothes were torn
and his body was injured, and he was
already sinking from exhaustion. At
this juncture the son appeared, and,
quickly arming himself with a pitch
fork, began a combat with the bull.
At the first thrust the animal merely
lashed his tail with fresh fury, and
rushed again. The boy struck home.
The bull finally turned upon his young
assailant. The boy struck the animal
a sharp blow across the nose. The
bull hesitated.
With renewed anger the bull low
ered his head for another lunge, and
once more the prongs of the pitchfork '
pricked his neck. Again he paused
and stared in apparent amazement at
the little fellow who was meanwhile .
shouting words of encouragement to
his father. One more blow in the face I
and the bull stepped backward. Pol
lowing up his advantage tho boy soon
had him retreating sufficiently to al
low tho father to crawl out of harm's
way. Then, with his eye still on the
hull, which was preparing to renew
the light, he nimbly dodged the next
rush and escaped.
Boys Fight With n Bear.
Henry Sutton and Daniel Hart, two
hoys, had a desperate encounter with
a bear, which attacked them near
Marble, Col. Hart wounded the bear,
which became more furious, and
struck at Sutton, who plunged a knife
into it. Hart fired again, and then
the bear knocked Sutton ten feet and
1 was about to kill him, when Hart fired
again, killing the bear. It weighed
582 pounds and measured fivo feet ten
inches. Near by in a cave were a fe
male bear and her cubs, but they es
caped.
A Useful Ant-Kuter.
When a horde of yellow caterpillars
infested the linden trees atthe Zoologi
cal Gardens last week, Head Keeper
Mauley, who is in charge during the '
absence of Superintendent Brown, was
sadly puzzled for away to get rid ol
the pests. Poisonous sprinkling mix
tures, tar and coal oil were applied to
the trees, but the results fell far short
of what had been hoped. The cater
pillars flourished iu spite of all, and
seemed to increase in numbers. Then
tho ingenious head keeper had a happy
idea. lie took the South American
ant-eater from its cage, and, securing
it with a collar and a long cord, started
it up one of tho trees. The way the
creature laid about with its long sticky
tongue, scooping in caterpillars by the
dozen, more than realized Mauley's
greatest expectations. It took to
them with as much relish as though
they were its natural food, and in the
course of half an hour completely
cleaned the tree. Mauley put the ant
eater up another tree and it ate until
it was gorged. Since then it has been
turned out three times a day, and su
great have been its industry and appe
tite that the caterpillars are nearly
exterminated.—Philadelphia Record.
Picture on a Grain of Corn.
Probably the smallest piece of paint
in;; in the world is that executed by a
Flemish artist. It is painted on the
smooth side of a grain of common
white corn, and pictures a mill and a j
miller mounting a stair with a sack ol
gruin on his back. Tbo mill is repre
sented as standing on a terrace and
near it is a horse and cart, while a j
group of several peasants is shown in
the road near by. The picture is !
beautifully distinct, every object be- j
ing finished with microscopio fidelity, j
yet by earel'ul measurement it is
shown that the whole painting does j
not cover a surface of half an inch
square.—Chicago Journal.
Lowly But Learned. *"•
Advanced domestic servants who
read Carlyle, Ruskin, Darwin, Huxley
and Herbert Spencer have been dis
covered by the Daily Telegraph in
London. It has also found a cook
who took a Latin prize at the Poly
technic, and a housemaid who passed a
university extension geometry exami
nation.
Improved Summer Coraot.
Among the myriad of comfortable
things for the summer girl is the im
proved summer corset of silk net, with
soft elastic gores, simply edged with
feather-stitching in silk floss. There
are no fripperies nor extra frills to take
Up any room, nor become frayed, hut
the corset itself is a gem. It is the
perfection of shape, and the manufac
turer claims that it will wear better
than any of tlio "ventilation" corsets
of heavier fabric. Stout, short-waisted
women have quite made up their
minds that the short, graceful tennis
or bicycling corset is a boon for them
for constant wear.
Beauty nnd tlio "Blue-Stocking.••
The popular idea of the day, that in
tellectuality is not abundant where
beauty dwells, is strengthened by the
fact that we have learned to associate
spectacles, frowsy hair, and lack of
style in apparel, with higher education
iu woman. The "blue-stocking" ele
ment in womanhood is not given to
personal adornment. It is apt to place
too light an estimate upon beauty of
feature and style of dress as compared
with intellectual growth; and it is this
condition which lias created the pre
judice against higher education of wo
men. Physical culture may have some
effect upon this; but at present the
"college-girl face," with it 3 intensity
of expression, its stamp of superiority
is something to avoid.
Beauty and intellectuality may travel
band in hand, and have done so down
the ages to the present time. Beauti
ful women should be as brilliant and
as accomplished as plain women. And
plain women may cultivate the most
attractive kind of beauty to take the
place of that which they have been de
nied, by studying their personal ap
pearance and their dress, and by culti
vating a charm of manner which will
lead tho observer to forget the com
monplace type of tho face itself.—

A Story of l'l-lncest* Victoria.
' The English papers are still engaged
in resurrecting stories of the early life
of the Queen. One of the most recent
is anent a certain Mr. Hunnings, the
son of a rich landed proprietor, who
lived near Kensington Gardens. He
was about twenty-five when, meeting
the young Princess Victoria of Kent,
befell madly in love with her. The
police were at first disposed to inter
fere, but {finding that his intentions
were the most harmless in the world,
they contented themselves with watcn
ing him. Hunnings was wont to fol
low the Princess wherever she wont,
and one day sho mistook him for a
beggar. To prevent a repetition of
this error, he took to driving every
where she drove in a carriage exactly
like hers, except for the eoat-of-arms.
This offended Victoria, and she begged
to be delivered from tho man.
Deprived of his former mode of at
tracting her attention, Hunnings turned
to heroic methods; he wrote her a let
ter asking for her hand. This was, of
course, intercepted, but in the mean
time some wag interfered, and Hun
nings was made the frequent recipient
of ardent love letters, presumably from
the Princess. The honor was too much
for his reason—evidently never very
strong. One day at a charity bazar,
having arrived too late to secure a
pieco of needlework of Victoria's own
manufacture, lie became violent, and
had to bo put in u straitjackot. He
died soon after.
A touching incident of the otherwise
grotesque affair was a very manly let
ter written by Hunnings to Victoria
before'he became [completely insane,
and when she ascended the throne.
Believing that she loved him, 110 never
theless wrote sacrificing his love for
her upon the altar of his country.
Tlio Fashion in l'arasols.
Parasols have undergone a radical
change since last year, and this will bo
hailed with rejoicing by the woman
who unites a desire for present styles
with a moderate income. The ela
borate, chiffon-covered creation has
had its day. It may be seen marked
down at every bargain counter. The
parasol of the present is a plain coach
ing parasol, and by judiciously choos
ing the shade one may be made to do
double duty, or even quadruple, where
ono cannot have a hat or a parasol to
match every gown. This does not
mean that parasols no longer match
gowns. Many are made every summer
to go with a particular costume. The
blue and white combinations so popular
this year are generally accompanied
by hats and parasols in harmony,
if not an exact match, but it is not ob-1
ligatory.
Changeable taffeta parasols are still
.much used, and the combinations seem
inore alluring than ever. White para
sols with a hemstitched hem look very
cool on these hot July days, and tempt
those of us who had bravely decided
to forego this accessory to our light
gowns to indulge in one. This hem
stitched hem may be seen iu other
colors, but looks best in white.
Tucked parasols are also seen in
mauy shops, changeable red taffeta
silk with tucks of white laid on it
being shown in one of the most exclu
sive shops. Such striking combina
tions, however, should not be purchased
by those who cUnnot afford to lay them
aside when tired of tho novelty and
brilliancy of shade.
Gros grain and moire parasols are
seen very often, and have a more staid
look than the taffeta. They are n^ore
suitable for tbo ohaperon of the sum- j
iner girl than for that interesting dam
sel herself.
Umbrellas grow thinner and thinner
and the handles smaller and smaller,
until one wonders what will support
them over one's head on a rainy day if
they continue to grow more modest.
The favorite umbrellas are of dark
changeable, green, blue or red silk,
with a smooth, straight, wooden han
dle, finished with a tiny round knob of
silver or of mother-of-pearl finished
with silver. Of course, this modesty
of design makes tho very best sort of
an umbrella within the reach of a not
too well lined purse.—Washington

Dilemma of the Man Who field u Burat
Duthtub Together.
One of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coldest
sweat out of a man's brow, ami ever
after re;aain with him as a constant
I source of mirth, occurred to a Skelton
! merchant a few days ago. He thought
! he would take a bath, and as his fiat
I Is minus one of the ehief requisitlos for
the job — a bathtub—he extemporized
one out of a small washtub and eii-
I joyed a cooling ablution.
110 had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud
denly the top hoop of the tub burst
with a sharp report, and the man saw
to his horror that the whole contents
of the tub would soon be Hooding the
floor. At the same moment he thought
of the store beneath and the amount
of damage the water would do as it ran
down through the ceiling. He is a man
of quick thought, and In a moment ho
did the only thing possible, threw him
self down beside the tub and, clasping
his arms around It, held the already
fast swelling staves together. He was
successful in keeping the water in—but
what a situation. He dared not yell,
for he was hardly In a condition to
receive callers, especially as he knew
Uiat all in the block at the time were of
hlie gentler sex, and he realized at
fflnce that tho only tiling left for him
Was to stay in that position until ths
return of his wife, who was out on a
shopping expedition.
Llko the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained in his most uncom
fortable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then to
rap the climax, when he asked her to
j got a rope or any old thing to tie about
I the tub, she, after a long fit of uncon
trollable laughter, asked him why he
didn't carry the tub and contents out
to the sink room and pour out the
water. With a look that froze tho
smile on her face he did ns slie said,
and without a word donned his clothing
and wandered out into the cold, unfeel
ing world, a crushed and humiliated
man.—Ansonia Conn.. Sentinel.
Curious Lands In Florida.
j Payne's Prairie, three miles south of
this city, covers an area of 50,000 acres.
A large proportion oi' the prairie is now
covered with water, but there are thou
sands of acres around the borders of
the lake which has been formed on
which horses and cattle graze. There
Is no way of estimating tbo number of
cattle,-but there are many thousands,
and they are in fine condition. The
prairie, or savanna, which it really is,
occasionally goes dry, tho water pass
lug out through a subterranean pas
sage called the sink. Where the water
goes to has never been determined.
When the sink is open tho lake goes
dry, and when tho outlet becomes
gorged or choked, a lake from live to ;
seven miles wide and about eighteen
miles long is formed. When the waters
of the lako suddenly leave it, thousands
of alligators, snakes, fish, and turtles
are left with nothing but mud for their
places of abode. Tho fish and turtles
perish, but the and reptiles
seek and find other quarters. For miles
along the northern border of the lake
there is a succession of sinks, averag
ing in depth all the way from 25 to 100
feet. Subterranean passages run in
every direction, leaving the ground in
the shape of a honeycomb. The ground
is liable to give way at any time, cre
ating a new sink. The scenery around
tlio lake, especially on the north side,
Is unique and grand, niul is an attrac
tive feature tcf strangers who visit this
city. The sink has for many years
been a popular resort for citizens of
Gainesville, who go there to fish, boat
ride, and ia other ways enjoy them
selves. It Is said that this vast area of
land could be drained at trilling ex
pense, and were it drained it would bo
the largest as well as the richest tract
of productive land in Florida. It is for
the most part a bed of muck. Tho land
Is owned by various individuals.—
