A suggestion has l?en made that oil mi;cht with advantage be used at the moi't exposed lighthor.ses to i educe the force of the waves. It is thought that ' this end might be attuiued by placing, say, a couple of small steel buoys in tho most exposed direction at a distance from the lighthouse of some 150 feet There should bo a pulley on the buoy and a slight rope, so that the bag or ap-pliance for distributing tho oil could al-ways be hauled in when required. The method is most simple, and can be tested without great expense. New York Com-mercial Advertiser. JL GABEL, THE TAILOR J pM 220 IV Second South St.. Mp SALT LAKE GITY.

Jay looked around for his sister. At his feet, in the small cockpit in which he was sitting, now half filled with water, he saw a motionless figure, which he thought to be hers. Ho reached down his hand and dragged her toward him. A long and vivid flash lighted up everything around him, revealing in-stead of the expected face of his sister that of Annie Jason. At that moment a woman's piercing cry rang out above, tho voice of the storm. Jay heard it and sprang to his feet. "It is Lily, and she is downing," he cried. "I'll cut tho cable and drift down with the wind. I may save her yet." Ho started forward, and just then the topping lift broke and tho boom came down with all its weight upon his head. Wit h a moan upon his lips lie sank down unconscious. It was a week uf ter . tho night of the squall on the bay when Jay Spratt awoke to consciousness again. Ho was at his home in Touisburg. Two sweet faces were bending over him, while the arms belonging to the possessors of the faces were wound lovingly around each other's waists. "Where am I?" , "You are at home, Jay, and all is well," said Lily, with a smile. "And you didn't drown?" "No, dear; thauks to Sim Jason, who risked his own life to save mine." "How did I get home?" "Annie" But here the blushing Annie placed her disengaged hand over Lily's mouth. "Did you sail the boat and take me Jay considered a few moments. The sky looked threatening and the night would be dark. The distance was twen-ty miles, and to go ont on the bay with every indication for a stormy night was a risky business; but Jay know he must either accept the banter or back down in disgrace, tacitly acknowledging the in-feriority of his boat, and incurring be-sides the reputation of a coward. These thoughts flashed through his brain, and in a moment his mind was made up. Aye, he would outbrave Sim in accept-ing the challenge. "1 accept your proposition, Sim," he said. Then he added, "And to make the race more even for you I will only take sister Lily along to help me sail the boat." A wild yell of approval went up from his companions, for all knew that Lily Spratt was as plucky a girl as there was in Tomsburg, and that her skill in handling a boat was second only to that of the most expert boatmen in the village. Just then Annie Jason came upon the scene, and joining her brother asked the cause for the nproar. Sim told her in a hurried whisper. "The Spratts sha'n't crow over us, Sim," she said resolutely, stamping her small foot upon the sand, "I'll go with you." When Sim made known what his sis-ter had said another shout, more wild and more prolonged than the first, rent the air. In a short time the news of the pro-posed race spread through Tomsburg, and in less than half an hour's time men, women and children were congregated upon the shore, all taking a lively inter-est in the preparations being made there. The sun was just going down behind a dark mass of clouds when Jay and THE END OF THE FEUD. As far back as the oldest inhabitant ould remember there had been a foud between the Jasons and the Spratts. It bad never been a deadly one, but it had been very bitter for all that, and had caused a great deal of ill feeling, not be-tween the two families alone, but among many others who through alliance with either had been dragged into the quar- rel There were people, too, in and about Tomsburg who took special delight, it .seemed, in keeping the two families constantly in hot water by carrying tales between the two houses. Often these tales were flimsy fabrications, Woven from the imaginations of the tell-ers, which would have been readily de-- home, Miss Jason asked Jay, looking up into her face. "Yes," she whispered; "but be quiet now, and try to go to sleep." The great majority of the people in Tomsburg are well pleased to know that the fend between the Jasons and the Spratts is at an end. A double wedding is annonnced there to take place in early autumn. John P. Sjolander in Times-Democra- t. tected as fiction by people less preju-diced against one another than the Ja-sons and Spratts; but as it was the busy bodies and mischief makers had an open .and free field wherein to exercise their more or less ingenious art of storytell-ing. At the time of the ending of the feud Bim Jason was the representative of ono side and Jay Spratt of the other. They were both young men, unmarried, and intelligent in everything except the one subject of the family feud, an exception not to be wondered at, since they had imbibed prejudice against each other with their mother's milk. But time, the resistless, that under-mines empires and causes them to tum-ble in a night, brings changes every-where. Sooner or later everything suc-cumbs and is no more. Tho Tomsburg feud ended in a night, and that, too, when it seemed to have grown more bitter and more deadly than it had ever been before. Tomsburg is situated on the shore of one of the many bays on the Texas coast, where nine out of every ten of the in-habitants own a sailing craft of some kind, the greater number being what are commonly called catboats, on which they make weekly trips to tho adjacent cities, carrying the products of their gardens and fields. ' Sim Jason owned one of these boats, a trim little craft, and one of tho swiftest that plowed the waters of the bay. The little vessel had been named the Annie after his sister. Like every other boat- - Sim, accompanied by their sisters, came down to the landing, where their re-spective frionds had hoisted sail on the two boats and made everything ready for a start. The young men made a hasty survey, to see that their crafts were in ship shape, and having satisfied themselves that everything had been properly at-tended to grasped the tillers, gave the signal to cast off and darted away from the shore like birds on snowy wings, amid lusty cheers from those left be-hind. The sky looked rent and threatening. There was distant thunder and frequent flashes of lightning. Dark, towering masses of clouds rose slowly upon all sides of tho horizon. Tho wind was due east, blowing a stiff breeze. The two boats were close hauled on the wind, barely making their course. The water was rough and the waves ran pretty high, casting a drenching spray over everything as the little crafts were forced straight through them. The crews of j the two boats the girls as well as the boys were well protected, however, by long oilskin coats, reaching down to their feet, and southwester hats. For tho first ten miles it was a pretty even race, theu the wind died out com--; plctely. Night had set in. The thunder 6onnded louder and closer, and the light- - ning came in blinding flashes. The clouds rolled upward from every side un-- j til they met overhead. For a few miu-- j utes tho thunder stopped its loud can-- i nonado and the lightning ceased; the only sonnds that broke tho silence being the dying murmur of a breaking wnvo and the gentlo swash of the water against tho sides of the boats. The darkness was intense; the air was hot and stifling. Then an ominous sound came from a distance a sound that the occupants of tho boats had often heard before a low murmur at first, increas-- j ing gradually in volume, nntil at last, as it drew nearer, it sounded like a roar of wrath, mingled with shrill shrieks of agony and despair. Sim and Jay hastily lowered their sails and furled them snug and fast, and just as the first chilly breath of the squall touched their sweat beaded cheeks and foreheads they threw the anchors over-board. Then the storm broke loose in all its fury. The thunder roared more deafen-ingl-the lightning flashed more blind-ingl- y than before. The phosphorescent water gleamed as nu ocean of fire lashed and driven before the gale. The two frail boats were tossed like corks upon tho angry sea, but their anchors held them head to the wind, while strong, nervous hands grasped the tillers and steadied them as they plunged up and down among tho furious waves. The two boats seemed to be riding the gale safely until suddenly tho Annie's cable snapped. The Annie was to the windward of the Lily, and when the cable parted she drifted straight down upon the latter. They came together with a fearful crash. Then came a wave higher crested and more furious than iU XvUows. It burst upon the man, Sim was touchy on the subject of being beaten by any other craft, but his particular sore spot was a banter from tho Sprat t adherents that Jay's boat, the Lily, could outsail him under uny and all conditions. "Tho Lily, like the Annie, had been named for the sister of its owner. It was a new boat, understood to have been built expressly to beat tho Jason boat. Coast and banter ran high in conse-quence, and high words were exchanged daily betwoon the backers of the two crafts. One evening Jay and Sim met down by the shore, where they had come to look after their boats. Both men were , accompanied by friends. "If I owned an old tub like that one yonder," said Jay Spratt to his compan-ions, pointing to tho Annie and speaking in tones loud enough to be heard by the Jiison crowd, "I'd leave her to tho mcr-- cy of tho wind and weather and let her take care of herself." "That tub, as yon call her, can out-na-il tiiat box of yours," retorted Sim, stopping and looking around defiantly. "I don't believe it," "1 didn't ask you to take my word for it, Jay Spratt. But if you have the epunk of a kitten I can prove it to you this very night." "How?" asked Jay, affecting surprise. -- I'll sail you a race to Hedtish light-house and back. From the looks of the fc'ry we are likely to have all sorts of Weather winds and calms and squalls and our boats will have an equal chance." THE GEKlTLER SEX.

The empress has con-ceived a wish to visit Cuba, Jamaica and Mexico. One of the three daughters of John D. Rockefeller, while student at Vassar, had a handsome allowance in the way of money from home.

If he was sufficiently interested he would be care-ful to remember. It was because he did not care enough that he forgot it. I drilled him with this truth. lie worked for me three years, and during the last of tho three he was ntterly changed in this respect. He did not forget a thing. His forgetting he found was a lazy, care-less habit of tho mind, which he oured. American Grocer. Two Ancient Tomb.
