that farming land in the Southern States,
with tie exception OF Kentucky. although
held far below the average in the North

more rapidly than in other sections. and

The Life-saving Service.


The Life-Saving Service Of the United
States. Judging from the official report.
is one OF most important nature. requir-
ing great skill. daring and sacrifice in
those who are engaged in it. To push
out through the raging waters in frail
boats when the storm is at its height to
rescue shipwrecked mariners is a task
which only brave men will attempt. But
the history of this service is full Of such
ventures, relating how men have gone
out almost to certain death in the per-
formance Of the duty assigned them, some
Of them only to have their bodies tossed
back upon the beach bereft Of life, others
avoiding destruction by har-breadth es-
capes that scarcely seem less than provi-
DENTAL Take tor instance the case Of the
crew Of the Life-Saving Station near Lake
Huron, where seven men started to save
the crew on vessel wrecked in violent
storm, and only one came back to shore
alive, and he so nearly exhausted that it
was with difficulty life was restored. They
had cleared the breakers and dangerous
reef, when tremendous sea capsized the
boat. She was righted again and again,
but as often overturned by the violence
of the waves, and one after another OF the
brave fellows who manned her let 90 his
hold upon the life-lines, and all but one
lost his life in the effort to save the men
hanging to the rigging of the doomed
vessel only quarter of mile away.
The loss of life however in such SER
vice is not 80 large as might be imag-
ined. And the lives and property saved
far outweigh this. The present Life-Sav
ing Service was adopted in 1871. We
find the following among the records Of
the Service for that period. Total number
of disasters 1897; total value of vessels,
&13.339, ,O73; total value of cargoes. 81
1862; total value of property saved.
S12, ,13O,2l5 total number of persons on
vessels. 10, 3s1 total number OF persons
saved, 1000.
During the last year 800 disasters are
reported to vessels. containing 1899 per
sons, of whom all but nine were saved.
For such service as this there should
be only picked men and they should be
literally paid by the government. We
agree with the report that neither creed
nor party should be permitted to place in
efficient men in this calling. The
man who can best take out the ife-boat
through the breakers to the rescue of inn
periled men, women and children, is the
man of all men for this service, though he
be pagan and his politics whatever they
may be. The men who have the skill,
courage, experience and Judgment for this
arduous and hazardous work are not
found in every port. and whenever found
no question Of politics or religion should
be allowed to crowd them aside if they
are willing TO engage in the service.
