NIX'S MATE LIGHT. Curious Old Legend of the Spot Mark ed by the Beacon. As a person enters Boston harbor by the main ship caiune.l. having threaded his way between Lovell's island and Gallup's island. and just before pass Ing between Long islzand and Deer is land, he sees at his left a uniqUe menu ment marking a dangerous ledge and shoal. So peculiar is its appearance that every stranger is sure to -ask, "What is that?" To this some local wiseanere promptly responds. "Nix's Mate." but usually he c'annot explain its maning or &ven spell the name cor rectly. The "Mate" is a massive piece of copper riveted masonry, forty feet square and twelve feet high, with stairs on one side, upon whose top rises a black wooden pyramid twenty feet high. Two hundred years ago where this weird pyramid now stands there was a fertile island of twelve acres. furnishing excellent grazing and called in consequence Green island. So much is history. A curious old book. 'ong out of print, has woven the legend of the name into a pleasing ro mance. which in brief is as follows: When Sir William Phips made his celebrated expedition to the Spanish main in 1SI under the auspices of the Duke of Albemarle. in which he recov ered some millions of sunken gold and enriched himself for life, he was ac companied by one Captain Nix and his first mate, Edward Fitzvassal. As I the first expedition was so wonderfully successful, Captain Nix went out on another search and raised another pre clous cargo from the bottom of the deep. But on his return the crew of his vessel, the Dolphin, mutinied un der the leadership of the mate and turned, pirates. Captain Nix and six others were set adrift early in the year 16S9 in an open boat and left to their fate. After iucredible hardships they reached land. only to be captured by savages. To ward spring they escaped in a canoe and finaliy landed on Green island. June 1, 16S0. They contrived to reach Boston Town, and there they found the Dolphin and Fitzvassal, too, who had assumed the name of Captain Nix. Fitzvassal was tried for piracy, con victed and sentenced to be executed on Green island on June 5. But for some service which he had rendered to the colony while bearing his assumed name he was pardoned by the governor, Bradstreet. Before the news of the pardon reached him, however, he took a fatal dose of poison. He was buried on Green island. and his sole mourner was an Indian maid and sibyl who had loved him. She prophesied that the island would wash away, and her prediction was fulfilled. Little by little the earth slid off the rock into the sea, and now nothing re mains but a dangerous ledge upon which stands the curious beacon, NIx's Mate. FLY FISHING. The Expert Angler Explains Why ! Is a humane Sport. "Well," said Chichester, "if it comes to suffering I doubt whether the fish are conscious of any such thing as wve means by it. But even if they are they sniffer twice as much an&' a thousand times as long shut up in this hot, nasty pool as they'~ would in being caught in proper style." "But think of the hook!'' "Hurts about as much as a pin prick." "But think of the fearful struggle and the long, gasping agony on the shore:" "There's no fear in the struggle. It's just a trial of strength and skill, like'I a game of football. A fish isn't afraid of death; he doesn't know anything about it And there is no gasping on -the shore, but a quick rap on the head with a stick, and it's all over." "But why should he be killed at alli" "Well," said he, smiling, "there are reasons of taste. You eat salmon. don't you'? "Ye-e-es," she answered a little doubtfully, then with more assurance, *"but remember what Wilbur Short says in that lonely chapter on 'Com munion With the Catfish'-I want them brought to the table in the simplest 'and most painless way."~ "And that is angling with the fly," said he, still more decidedly. "The fly is not swallowed like a bait. It sticks in the skin of the lip, where there is least feeling. There is no torture in the play of a salmon. It's just a fair fight with an unknown op ponent. Compare it with the other ways of bringing a fish to the table. If he's caught in a net, he hangs there for hours, slowly strangled. If he's speared, half the time the spear slips, and he struggles off badly wounded, and if the spear goes through him he is flung out on the bank to bleed to death. Even if he escapes he is sure to come to a pitiful end some day perish by starvation when he gets too old to catch his food or be torn to pieces by a seal, an otter or a fish hawk. Fly fishing really offers him" "Never mind that," said Ethel. "What does it offer you?". "A gentleman's sport, I suppose," he answered rather slowly.--Henry van Dyke in Scribner's. HE DID SLEEP: The Result of Taking I'Peanuts and Milk For Insomnia. Yesterday a friend who had heard that I sometimes suffer from insomnia told me of a sure cure, says Good Health Clinic. "Eat a pint of peanuts and drink two or three glasses of milk before going to bed," said he, "and I'li warrant you'll be asleep within half an hour." I did as he suggested, and now for the benefit of others who may be afflicted with insomnia I feel it to be my duty to report what happened, so far as I am able this morning to recall the details. First let me say my friend was right I did go to sleep very soon after my retIrement Then a friend with his head under nis arm came along and asked me if I wanted to, buy his feet. I was negotiating with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped out of his skin and left me ficating in midair. While I was considering how I should get down a bull w~.ith two heads peered over the edge of the well and said he would haul me up if I would first climb up' and rig a windlass for him. So as I was sliding down the mountain side the brakeman came in, and I asked him when the train would reach my station. f'We passed your station. 40) years ago," he said, calmly folding the t rain up and slipping it Into his vest pocket. At this juncture the clown bounded into the ring and pulled the center pole out of the ground, lifting the tent and all the people in it up, up, up, while I stood on the earth below watching myself go out of sight among the clouds above. Then I awoke and found that I had THE TONSILS. It Is Not Known What Purpose These Structures Serve. The tonsils are two collections of glandlike structures at the back part of the mouth, one on each side. be tween the piliars of the palate. It is not known what purpose they serve. Some have supposed that they arrest the germs.f disease which may be in haled or taken in with the food, but they evidently can catch very few of the germs which'rapidly pass them m the food or water or in the air which is inhaled, and it is well they cannoc, for ther are themselves very suseepti ble to disease, as some sufferers know to their sorrow. Others have thought they serve an evil purpose, acting as portals of entry for many disease germs into the body. The tonsils ar- very liable to become inflamed. This condition constitutes tonsilitis, or, when an abscess forms, quinsy. Young persons, over fifteen and under thirty. are most subject to inflammation of the tonsils. although children and even those well along in life may suffer. It occurs with special frequency in those whose tonsils are enlarged and uially in persons who are "run down" in general health or in whom the power of resistance has been lowered as a result of worry or over exertion. The extra study in preparing for a difficult examination in school or col lege and the anxiety concerning the re slt not uncommonly bring on an at tack of quinsy, especially in those of a so called rheumatic tendency. There are various kinds of tonsilitis, but the symptoms of all are quite sim ilar in the beginning. The patient feels ill, has chilly sensations, loss of appe tite, more or less headache perhaps. constipation, feverishness and a feel ing of discomfort or actual pain in the throat. Soon the fever becomes high. the throat is dry, sNaVoing is Iin Ifl. there is often wore or less earao'ht, and the pat.ent seems seriously ill. Suppuration may or may not occur. The pa n and throbbing are most se vere wl en it does. The attack lasts usually from two or three days to a week and is apt to ter Minate quite suddenly, although if but one tonsil has been affected recovery may be delayed by an extension of the inflammation to the other tonsil. In that case the whole tiresome process must be gone through with again. The disease is almost always serious enough to require the physician's care, for the treatment calls for internal remedies as well as local applications Whatever else is done, the bowels should be kept open from the begin ning of the attack.-Youth's Compan ion.

It will certainly be news to most people, says the London Globe, that: New York is a short cut for telegrams between London and Paris and be tween London and Berlin. However, the fact is vouched for. The messages are received at an agreed address in New York and are immediately passed on for London. Paris or Berlin, as the case may be. The reason for this amazing roundabout to save time is curious. New York time being about six hours behind European time, its wire connections with Europe are al most unoccupied during the London forenoon, while during the same time European wires are often congested. Tia New York, therefore, is a "short cut," but an expensive one. The Watch Habit. "*Ain't it funny how little a man seems to use a watch and yet how he misses one if he hasn't got it with him'" said a man on the street car yesterday who had forgotten his. "I don't suppose I really need my w atch more than three or four times a day," he said. "There's always plenty of clocks in sight, but I must look at my watch dozens of times without know ing that I do it.

Short Stay Neighborhoods. A man who contemplated going into business for himself looked around for a good location. He rejected the ad vice of two friends who had suggested neighborhoods which they thought de sirable. "I don't like either of the places," he said. "Business can't be good around there. I have passed through those streets many times, and always I have been struck with the frequency with which the names on the shops are changed. That doesn't look promising.

They Were Cultivated In England In Shakespeare's Time. A florist says that we pride ourselves Uowadays on the size of our carna tions, but the florists of 300 years ago grev carnations three to four inches across, as large as any that ive see, and thought nothing of it. "All through Spain, southern France and Italy the carnation is the favorite flower and has been for hundreds of years, but along the 'Mediterranean there are few glass houses, for in pro tected situations and on southern slopes of hills even delicate flowers grow outdoors all winter long and bloom as freely at Christmas as in July. "The big carnations, however, were not grown in Spain or Italy, but in England outdoors during the summer time and before glass houses were known. They may have grown just as large carnation flowers In Spain as in England at that time, but in Eng land there was record made of the fact and also of the size, while in Spain there was not. Shakespeare mentions carnations and gillyflowers, .or July flowers, together as blooming at the same season, which shows that the carnation was then a summer flower, whereas in our greenhouses it is now a winter bloomer. How the florists of those days treated the plants to ob tain blooms of such size nobody knows, for old time florists grew flowers In stead of writing books about them. So all we know is that they had very large carnations In Queen Elizabeth's time without knowing how they were grown."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. HIDDEN TREASURE. New Zealanders Dig For Kauri Gum In the Ground. Many New Zealanders find it profit able to dig for hidden treasure. That for which they dig, however, is not gold or Captain Kidd's ill gotten wealth, though it has a dull yellow color. It Is kaurl gum, a resinous sub stance which is the product of the kauri pine tree. The gum can be se cured from the trunks of trees while they are alive, for it protrudes in lumps, but it Is especially profitable to dig for it in the soil about the stumps remaining after the trees have been cut down. Sometimes chunks weighing as much as 100 pounds are taken up from the ground. Digging for knurl gum is profitable, for the gum is used in the manufacture of varnish, and apparently it is one of those products of nature whose place cannot be filled by anything else which has yet been discovered. It has been found that it can be used in certain enamel paints, and this has had the effect of bringing the demand up to a point above the supply. The kaurl pine is a magnificent tree. It rises as straight as a needle to a height of from 150 to 200 feet and attains at times a diameter of fifteen feet. It is noted for its dark, dense foliage and is much used for masts for vessels constructed for the British navy. Chewing and Dyspepsia The lean dyspeptic, taking a mouth ful of chop, chewed it Interminably. "Forty chews," he paused to say, "for every bite." And his jaws began to grind again. "You make me laugh," his compan ion, a physiologist, returned- "Meat requires little, if any, chewing. You must have wasted a lot of chews in your time." "Go onr' "It's true. Vegetables require chew ing, for they are digested largely by the alkaline mouth juices, but meat is digested by the acid stomach juices, and to chew it more than enough to make it go down easily does harm In stead of good. The mouth alkalis, ad mixing with It. hinder the stomach acids' work. "Chew vegetables indefatigably, my friend. but let your meat slip down un ground."-New Orleans Times-Demo crat. The Word "Idiot." "Idiot" is a word with a curious his tory. In Greek -'idiotes" began by meaning a private individual, as ap posed to the state or to a state official; then It meant a nonexpert or layman and finally an ignorant man or an awkward fellow. It was left for Eng lish to carry the meaning further to mental deficiency. In "Piers Plow man" an "idiot" is an ignorant per son, and as late as 1698 it could mean a person who knew only one language. Wyclif and Jeremy Taylor used it In the sense of "layman," atnd the latter also in that of "private person." And a professional "fool" or jester was at one time an "idiot" too. Where Her Father Was.
