Ida Lewie6
BY ARNOLD B.
Like her father and, after his death,
her mother, Ida. Lewis was keeper of the
lighthouse on Lime Rock, in the harbor
of 'Newport, Rhode Island. The rock,
which has a, eiurface of lees than fifty
•scram feet, fis about three-quarters of a
rade from Vie city, but is so exposed
that it ia difficult to 1aid even on its
mod- sheltered side in ieavy weather.
As the rook is near th centre of the
haerbor, accidents hap ning there are
within sight of the hght. Since she has
lived there Ida Lewis has never turned
-a deaf ear to a cry of distress. Thus it
has chewed that she has saved thirteen
different persons from demmaing.
In September, 1854, a boat containing
four young men -two of them sons of
prominent citizens of Newport, and the
other two their visitors -was capsized
near the lighthouse. Ida, then but
twelve years old, got out her little boat
and picked them up, one being wholly
imeimscious when rescued.
In February, 1867, a soIdier belong-
ing to the garrison of Fort Adams was,
while trying to cross the harbor to New-
port, capsized in a small boat. Ida
picked him up in an unconscious condi-
tion, and, as she could not lift him tate
• her boat, had to tow him to the light-
house where he was taken out of the
water and brought back to life.
On March 29th, 1869, two soldiers
left Fort Adams for Newport in a boat
managed by a small boy. The boat was
swamped, the boy was drowned, and
when seen from the lighthouse the -men
were clinging to the keel., of the capsized
boat Ida, with a her young brother,
went out to them in her own boat, took
them off almost dead, and got them to
the lighthouse, where they were resusci-
tated. One of thera was so nearly gone
that he was only restored after great
labor.
In the fall of 1877, a boat containing
three men was swamped in .Newport
Harbor during a gale, and Ida, with her
little boat, saved the men, and the valu-
able sheep the men were after. But she
thought so little of the matter that she
failed to remember the names of the
men and they were learned by the
atitinorities only after much - trouble.
Not long after, the wind blowing heav-
ily, the lighthouse people made out a.
man clinging to an iron spindle or day -
mark, on a reef a mile and a half dis-
tant. His boat had been swamped, and
he had managed to swim to the beacon.
Ida went for him alone in her little boat,
and took him to the lighthouse, where
he was properly cared for.
On February 4th, 1881, two intoxicat-
ed soldiers, trying to return from New-
port to. Fort Adams" on the ice, broke
through, and, their cries being heard at
the lighthouse, Ida, caught up a clothes-
line and. ran to them on the broken -fee.
By the time she had pulled one of the
drowning men out her brother came tee
her aid. Between them they rescued
the second man, and finally the four
reached. the lighthouse. It is in evi-
dence that the ice was very unsafe, that
both Ida and her brother were in the
greatest danger, and that it was only by
her consummate skill that the. four
reached the lighthouse in safety.
It was for this last act that the gold
medal was awarded; but the previous
acts were put in evidence, that they
might go on record. The medal, which
was struck at the Philadelphia Wait, is
somewhat larger than a fifty -dollar gold
piece, and contains about seventy-five
dollars' worth of gold. On one side is
the name of the recipient and the in-
scription, while the other side shows in
held relief a boat on a stormy sea, con-
taining three men who are pulling into
it a drowning woman. Ida remarked,
anent this, that it should have shown,
to have been correct, one woman saving
three men.
Ida Lewis in now about forty-four
years old; is small in figure, well built,
has sparkling black eyes, and. abundant
black hair; )eut, as she has not yet re-
covered from the attack of pneumonia
w-hich she had in 1882-3, is far from be-
ing vigorous or strong. She is a meni-
ber of the Thames street Methodist
church, into the communion of which
she was received on December 7th,
1881, after having passed the eustornary
season of probation. She was married
some years ago to a Mr. Wilson ; but,
being unhappy, they agreed to separate,
and he passed out of her life, leaving her
to the quiet of lier lighthouse and the
society of her widowed invalid mother,
who alone lives with her, though other
relatives visit her frequently. Her
salary, $750 per year, is something more
than is usually allowed to keepers of
lights of that size, but it is sufficient for
her wants. It is erroneously said that
she is the only woman in charge of a
lighthouse. There are many in the
service, most of whom have succeeded
to their places on the death of their hus-
bands. Miss Co/fax, a sister of the late
Vice -President of that name, is an ex-
ception to this rule; so are the widows
of several naval officers, who received
their places by favor, but retain them
by merit.
Ida Lewis is often called the Grace
Darling of America. This is but faint
praise.. Grace Darling helped her father
•to rescue nine persons on September 7th,
14,38, from a wreck on the Northumber-
lei/A coast of England. For this she
lives in the hearts of her countrymen,
and her grave is kept green by subscrip-
tion, in which many Americans, among
them Ida. Lewis, have shared. But our
heroine periled her life four times alone,
anci twice aided by her brother, and, so
doing, saved thirteen lives. Her dry,
hard, haaking cough makes many fear
her days are numbered, but she keeps
up such a stout heart that we may hope
she will live long to enjoy the reputa-
tion that she has so nobly won.
Curious Action of Mind -
Reading.
Talking of these tests recently with a
:friend, who had been a professor until
within a short time ago in an important in -
etitatien, he described a trial made at
his residence by a company af acquaint.
.aces who were spending an evening
with his family. At his suggestion, and
as an experiment which might afford
amueernent and instruction, a lady was
ehosen, was blindfolded and seated on a
,chair, and was furnished with a pencil
and paper. The professor left the room,
and in the hall drew a zigzag, nonde-
script agure on a paper he held. Re-
turning and standing behind the lady on
e chair and fastening his mind intently
on his drawing, she began in -a few mo-
ments to draw slowly the irregular lines
he had pnt on his paper. To test the
matter still farther, he again left the
room and drew as perfect a circle as he
could on a fresh paper. Returning, and
under the same conditions, th.e lady drew
a similar eircle, then hesitated a rno-
ment, and then, to the surpriae of all,
drew a straight line front above the cir-
cle down into it. IA a moment he re-
membered that on going out the seeond
time his first intention had been 'to elraw
as perfect a rectangle as he could, and'
that he had carried out his intention so
far as to draw the perpendicular line of
one side of the figure, and. inadvertently
left this line on the side of the paper
when he changed his mind in favor of
the circle. The lady -had followed a
versed order of the processes of his
raind, and, -the first intention heing in-
distinct in him, had in a hesitating way
repeated the straight line and earned it
into the circle instead of keeping it out -
sidle of it. -Christian Latelligencer.
Jenny Lind's Motive.
Years ago we heard jenny Lind sing
in the Messiah. Sbe revealed, by her
rendering of "1 know- that my Redeem-
er liveth," the ability of song to inter-
pret the'sublimest of themes.
She sang, "Though worms ,destroy
this body, yet in my flesh I shall see
God," with a tone and a phrasing that
made, the doctrine of the resurrection
luminous.
"She must be a Christian," we mased,
as we went out from the concert hall,
"else she could never have given these
vivid expositions -of faith in the Lord
who rose again from the dead.
The music of forty years ago Was con-
firmed, the other day, by reading the
reminiscences of the Rev. C. A. Wilkin-
son, the English chaplain to the King of
Hanover. He met Jenny Lind just after
she had signed her contract to sing in the
United Settee..
In the course of their conversation'
she mentioned the great ignorance of the
lower classes in Stockholm, and their
indifference to the education 'of their
children.
"1 have," she said, "determined to
endow schools for these poor little chil-
dren. My motive in gomg to America
is to earn thirty-six thousand pounds,
which I intend to hand over to trustees,
who will carry out my plans.
"May I not, sir, hope for God's bless-
ing upon this work, undertaken for the
lambs of Christ's flock.? My daily pray-
er is that I may be spared -three years,
so that I may carry out my plans for
my poor children in Stockholm. Is there
anything in that prayer inconsistent with
submission to the will of God ?"
One morning, after a charity concert
which she had given, the clergyman
found her counting and sealing up the
money received, preparatory to distri-
buting it among the poor. He began
complimenting her, but she. cut him
short by saying:
"It is the only return I can make
unto the good Lord for the gift He has
bestowed upon" me, which is the great
joy of my life. I can only repay Him
through the poor and the suffering.
This I delight to do."
When Bishop Stanley, of Norwich,
the father of Dean Stanley, was sneered
at foe receiving "a professional singer
into the Episcopal palace," the "profes-
sional " being Jenny Lind, he replied:
"1 always wish to honor virtue and
talent wherever I.may find them. As to
my friendship with Jenny Lind, I have
no hesitation in saying that I consider
that,I am the person benefited. For I
never converse with her without feeling
myself a better man."
The chaplain says he endorses that
compliment as the literal truth, for he
himself never departed from her society
withont feeling himself a better man for
having conversed with her.
Her soul and heart eeetned absorbed
in the thought of obeying St. James'
rule :
Pure religion and undefiled befce-ie
God and the Father is this, to visit the
the fatherlefas and widows in their afflic-
tion, and to keep himself unspotted from
the world;"
The Crop Prospects.
, The following is a summary of reports
by 886 correspondents of the Ontario
Bureau of Industries, on the condition
of crops and live stock, and the rate of
wages and supply of farm laborers in
the Province, niade under date of the
15th of May. It will be found interest- •
Mg and useful:
The reports of correspondents show
that in the most of the fall wheat dis-,
tricts of the Province the winter weather'
was Very unfavorable to the crop. Heavy
rains carried off the, snow over wide
areas, leafing fields exposed to intense
cold in January and h ebruary ; sheets
of ice lay ie hollows and on low ground
during the latter month; and alternate
freezing and thawing prevailed through-
out March. "Killed," "smothered,"
and "heaved out" express the tenor of
a great many reports, and in portions of
the countreafrom ten to seventy per
cent of the wheatiand has been plowed
up or resown with other grain. In a
few sections there are complaints of too
much spring rain, and in others the un-
thrifty appearance of many fields is at-
tributed to the lack of rain. Of the six
Lake Erie counties, where nearly a
quarter of the fall wheat acreage of the
Province lies, Welland is the only one
which promises a full crop, while the
adjoining county of Haldimand is likely
to be much short of -an- average. Ex-
cepting in the southern part of Lamb -
ton, the crop in the Lake Huron count-
ies wintered well, and its present condi-
tion is very satisfactory. In Grey and
Simeoe, on the Georgian Bay, the pros-
pect is not cheering, and the acreage has
been reduced to a considerable extent.
The West Midland counties gave varye
ing reports -those for Middlesex, Ox-
ford and Brant being the least favor-
able. Dufferin promises well, and in
Perth the outlook is almost invariably
_pronounced very good. Over the coun-
try from Wellington to Durham, and
between Lake Ontario and Georgian
'Bay, serious injury was caused byice
lying on the fields in winter, and the
crop is very uneven. In York and Sim-
coe counties especially ice and exposure
proved to be very destructive to the
wheat plant, and a large breadth has
been ploughed up. Lincoln and Nor-
thumberland alone, of the Lake Ontario
counties, gave promise of a good har-
vest. In the East' Midland counties the
crop is variable, and in the St. Law-
rence and Ottawa group it wintered
safely and makes a fine show, excepting
where some bad effects were left by ice
and snow in parts of Grenville, Carleton
and Lanark. The fine growing weather
with which the country has been favor-
ed since the middle of April has greatly
improved the prospect of the crop, and
a smaller area has been ploughed up in
consequence than seemed at all probable
Jr'
when the snow disappeared. The
indications are, however, that without
unusually favorable or unfavorable
weather from now until harvest the -
yield will fall nearly a fifth short of the
average of the past four years.
The reports on:clover are on the whole
favorable, and the crop is at least two
weeks 'earlier than last year. Clover of
last year's seeding has suffered little.
either by winter or spring weather; but
the Clover on old meadows has been ex-
tensively injured, especially on undrain-
ed, low-lying or heavy soils, by ice and
'frost heaving.
Ploughing for spring crops commenced
;from two to three weeks eiclier than
last yeart and - seeding proportionately
%early ; but in some' districts the work
-was delayed by wet weather, especially
on heavy clay and undrained lands in
the lake shore counties from Norfolk to
Peel. In the northern and "eastern
counties the green appearance of crops
presents a striking and favorable con-
trast to their backward state last spring,
and for all parts of the Province the re-
ports on spring wheat, barley, oats and
peas are very cheering. Apparently,
however, the breadth of -spring wheat is
less than last year, while that of peas
and barley is greater.
The reports on live stock are general-
ly favorable. Fodder was abundant
everywhere, unless in portions of Simcoe
and Muskoka, and almost the only com-
plaint made is that cattle did not feed
well owing to the changeable character
of the winter. Hogs and sheep have
been reduced in number since last year,
but the spring weather has been very
favorable for the rearing of pigs and
lambs, which are reported as numerous.
Animals of all classee were turned on
grass about three weeks earlier than
usual, and old and young are in hearty
condition.
The supply of farm laborers appears
to be ample in all parts of the Province,
and the range of wages is about the
eame as a year ago. Following are the
averages by county groups for the two
years -those for the present season
being computed from the quotations of
664 correspondents:

Catarrh -a New Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinary s'uccess that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
'months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured.
of this stubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is remembered that no five per
cent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with the
claim now generelly believed by the most scien-
tific men that the disease is due to the presence
of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to their extermination-
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, and the perraaneney is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat:
ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, and the present season ef the year is the
most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure,
the majority of cases being cured at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond with Metiers.

AS CONSCIENTIOUS
DRUGGISTS,
-"WE WOULD -
recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and
kindred diseases, the use of MALTOPEPSYN.
For Consumption and all wasting diseases, the
use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN
COD LIVER OIL. For teething infants and
nervous troubles, the use cd GLYCEROLE OF
CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.)
You probably ask why we recommend these
remedies !
It is because we know them to be reliable
-remedies, endorsed by leading physicians
throughout the Dominion, for the cure of specific
diseases, and not claiming to cure everything.
Also becausethey have the exact formula printed
on eeeh bottle label,thereby enabling the pur-
chaser to know just what he is taking.
The time is rapidly approaching when intelli-
gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls,
the ingredients of which are kept seeret, but will
insist upon knowing just what they are taking.
