And then there are other summers to A Lighthouse Keeper's Complaint Lighthouse keepers do not seem to feel their lonely life. I once spent a week on Seotland lightship, near the entrance to New York harbor. The as- Sistant keeper was in charge, and he was nearly stone deaf. He had not been ashore for three months, and even a hewspaper came to him only by chance from time to time, when a pilot boat stopped by on her way out of the bar- bor. From sunrise until 9 o’clock at night he did little else but sit on a hatchway, smoking an old pipe ‘aud gazing reflectively at the great harbor receiving and dismissing its thousands of vessela, One @fy “ht asked me to use iny influence to get him t/ansferred to Cape Coe. I asked him why he wisned the change. ‘*Well,’’ said he very seriously, ‘‘I want a quieter station. It’s too lively here. I want to be where there is less going on.’’—Licutenant John M. Elli- cott in St. Nicholas, Work by Artificial Light. Many persons experience great fatigue in working and reading by artificial light. Seme attention has been given tothis sub- ject, especially in view of reading and study, and the type, paper and illumina- tion most favorable to comfort and health, White light is reoommended for all artifi- cial illumination. One should never read , at a lower degree of light than ordinary » daylight. Very low intensities cause eye strain and weakness, which may result in exceedingly severe and even dangerous mental and physical conditions. It is now an established fact that epilepsy is some- times caused by eye strain. There are also many other maladies that are primarily caused and greatly aggravated by bad light while using the eyes. Some authort- ties recommend white paper. Others, not- ably experienced journalists, insist that straw colored paper and black ink are less taxing to the eyes than white paper.— New York Ledger. Sometimes. A well known humorist is fond of tell- ing this story of his small daughter. At the dinner table one day there was a party of guests for whom he was doing his best in the way of entertainment. A lady turned to the little girl: ‘* Your father is a very funny man,’’ said she. ‘*Yes,’’ responded the child, ‘‘when we have company.’’—Pick Me Up. William ©. Ussery, M. D., of St. Louis, says that the best food for those suffering from typhoid fever is the banana.
