ThC Tlie saving Service.

The report OF the general superin-
tendcut of the life saving service,
shows that at the close of the fiscal
wear, it embraced l72 stations, of which
1856 were on the Atlantic, 80 on the
lakes, and on the Pacific Within
the limits of the operations of the
service there were 2i9 disasters to YES
sells. The number of persons on board
these vessels was 2l07, of whom 2049
were saved and IS lost. There We're
succored at stations 81 shipwrecked
persons, l07+ days relief being afforded
them in the aggregate. The number
of persons brought ashore from
wrecked vessels by the life saving
appliances of stations was 4l3. In
addition, life saving crews assisted off,
when stranded, got out of dangerous
positions and piloted to places of
safety, 50 vessels. The estimated
value of the whole number OF vessels
involved was : 30, 216, and of their
cargOes S965,6l0, making the total
value of the property in peril 3, SS7, $50.
OF this amount about half was saved
and half lost. The number of disas-
ters involving total lost of vessels was
as. The number of disasters to ves-
sels-2l1-is greater than that of any
previous year, the highest former
number having been III. He shows
by statistics that there has been great
progress in the efficacy of the service,
hampered rs it was by insufficient
appropriations. IN 1875, when there
were no life saving stations, bne out
of every five casualties was fatal. In
1879 the prOpOsion was one out of

1t was part of the duty of the dow
ager Duchess to open the billets adj
dressed to the young ladies confided to
her charge. What was her astonish-
ment at reading this epistle
"Horrorl" cried she. "A child of high
family to violate her duty in seeking a
painter at midnightp
She rang and sent for the guilty one,
but her rage redoubled when Lncy,
with her customary gentleness, denied
all knowledge of the cause of her re-
proaches. The Duchess, who expected
to witness in her great confusion or q
candid avowal, would listen to nothing.
The alarm was given in the palace and
it was decided that Lucy, disgraced,
should be sent home to her father.
Her prayers were of no avail q single
night of respite was alone accorded her,
and she was compelled to sleep in the
apartment of the Duchess to avoid fur
ther scandal.
At midnight, Lucy rose as before; the
Duchess was aroused from her unquiet
sleep, and called all the ladies to wit
ness the confirmation of her suspicious.
With lighted fambeaux, the Duchess
attended by a numerous suite, followed
Lucy, who traversed again the long hall
and numerous passages and arrived at
the door of the monastery. Her culpa-
bility could no longer be doubted, but
they followed her even to the painting.

fore the easel. The noise around hei
and the brilliancy of the lights awoke
her in fright. She was a somnambu
list.
Thus unconsciously had she served
as model to the artist, who fully re-
paid in love what she had given him il
renown. He obtained the prize anG

ors and riches.
A few days afterward there was cele
brated at st. Paul's the union of Var
Dyck and Lucy, the daughter of the
noble Count Ruthven de CORY.

LONDON.
Statistics of the Great Metropolis.


From the computations of authorities,
it appears that London with all its
suburbs) covers within the Is miles
radius of Chariny Cross nearly 700
square miles. 1t numbers within these
boundaries over 100000 inhabitants
1t contains more country-born persons
than the counties of Devon and Glou-
cester combined, or 81 per cent. of its en-
tire population. Every four minutes
birth takes place in the metropolis,
and every six minutes death. Within
the circle already named there are added
to the population 205 persons every
day, and $4,000 annually. London has
1000 miles of streets, and on an aver
age % miles of new streets are opened
and 5000 new houses built, every year.
One thousand vessels and nine thous-
and sailors are in its ports every day.
It's crime is also In proportion to its
extent. Seventy-three thousand per-
sons are annually taken into custody by
the police, and more than one-third of all
the crime in the country is committed
within its borders. Thirty-eight thous-
and persons are annually committed
for drunkenness by it's magistrates.
The metropolis comprises considerably
upward of 100000 foreigners from
every quarter of the globe. 1t con-
tains more Roman Catholics than Rome
itself, more Jews than the whole Of
Palestine, more Irish than Belfast,
more Scotchmen than Aberdeen, and
more Welshmen than Cardiff. Its beer
shops and gin palaces are so numerous
that their frontage, if placed side by
side, would stretch from Charing Cross
to Chichester, distance of 81 miles.
If all the dwellings in London could
thus have their frontages placed side by
side, they would extend beyond the
city of York. London has sufficient
paupers to occupy every house in
Brighton. The society which advo-
Gates the cessation of Sunday labor
will be astonished to learn that 60 miles
of shops are open every Sunday. With
regard to churches and chapels, the
Bishop of London, examined before a
committee of the House of Lords in
the year 1910, said: eff you proceed a
mile or two eastward of st Paul's, you
will find yourself in the midst of a
population the most wretched and desti-
tute of mankind, consisting of artifcers,
laborers, beggars and thieves, to the
amount of 100000 or 100000 souls
Throughout this entire quarter there is
not more than one church for every
10000 inhabitants; and in two districts
there is but one church for As, 0O0souls :"
In 1889, Lord John Russell stated, in
Parliament, that London, with "a
parishes and a population of 100000,
had church accommodation for only 101,-
600. These and other statistics furnished
led to the Metropolis Churches Fund"
established in 1886, which has been
followed by the Bishop of London's
Fund. 1t is still computed, however,
that at least 1000 new churches and
chapels are required in the metropolis.

Great Peanut Match.

The great peanut-eating match be-
tween A. Sniff and j. Junks for $4,000
a side came off at Swoony Hall yester-
day. The conditions were, each con-
testant to eat quart of baked peanuts
each quarter-hour for forty-eight con-
secutive hours. The match was terribly
exciting. Before each contestant was
a table laden with quart measures full
of the luscious fruit of the peanut-tree.
Sniff weighed ninety pounds at the
start, and Junks eighty-six. Neither
had eaten anything for twenty-four
hours, and both had voracious appe-
tites. The first few quarts of peanuts
went like snow before July sun. The
floor was soon strewn with shells. After
eating four quarts Sniff look short
rest, but Junks kept on manfully. At
the hour of going to press Sniff was
visibly swelling, while Junks was eat
ing away with apparently as good relish
as when he began. AT 2:30 p. m. the
score stood: Sniff, % quarts; Junks,
% quarts. The hall was thronged, and
the excitement was intense. Bets were
freely offered, 800 to $50, that Sniff
will win. Junks' friends are confident.
