Chinese Regard for Beasts of Burden

Cinnamon have such regard TO,
beasts OF burden, such rs an OK and
the mule, that they mako companions
of them when alive and never use
their meat for food when they are
dead. These animals usually live in
the same building with their masters,
but in separate apartment, which is
especially devoted to them. They are
not required to eat at the family table
unless they wish to, and meals are
served in their rooms without extra
charge. They are expected to report
any incivility or inattention on the
part Of servants to the master of the
house. A pair of oxen can reside in
the house of their master and enjoy
all the privacy they would have in a
stall of their own, and sensitive and
retiring mule is never in any danger
of being intruded upon. = Chicago

The sea and lake coasts of the United

greatest work the service has accom-
pl1shed has been in the line of warning
vessels off shore and preventing dis
asters.
The uniform is simple, Consisting
OF blue blouse, cap with the letters
U. S. l.. S. S. embroidered on it, and
coarse flannel trousers The badge Of
the service is u life buoy ON which n
boat hook and an oar arc crossed. The
mon picked for the service are mostly
fishermen from the locality where they
are to do duty. They are men who
know every inch of the ground they nre
to cover and know every bump in the
bottom of sen within mile from land.
There used to be great loss of life in
the service, but the danger gradually
dlmInishes as new inventions are made.
No pGtrolman on his lonely watches on
the beach can shirk duty. When the
stations are placed so far apart that pa
trolmen do not meet, each surfman car
ries clock with dial that can be
marked only by means of key, which
also registers the time of marking.
This key is secured to q post Mt the
end of his beat and he is required to
reach it to bring back the dial prop
erly marked.
Ida Lewis was made famous by her
daring feats of bravery at the Lime
Rock light in Newport harbor long be-
fore any life-saying station was in the
vicinity. Equal fents have been nc
complished by the surfmen, but as it
was in the line of their duty their
deeds have been lost in the everyday
humdrum. The forerunner of the SER
vice were the sheds which were built
by the fishermen on the Atlantic shore,
where they kept bont, mortar and
life-lines. The door was always locked,
but in case of wreck the house was
broken into by the first man on tho
scene and the boat was hauled out to
the water'S edge, ready when tho fish
ermen should come to man it. There
were no such inventions as the life lines
now in use in the '20s, and the brave
fishermen worked against great odds.
The first rescue with the imple-
ments similar to those the Government
life-savers use now was off Sandy Hook
on January IL, 1850. The British
schooner Ayrshire, with 2O2 souls on
board, mostly Irish immigrants, was
wrecked about 300 yards off shore late
at night. The natives of the fishing
settlement were aroused and with their
mortar sent the life line to the imperiled
boat. In the metallic car POI of the
2O2 passengers on the i'll fated schooner
were safely brought to shore. This
mortar with tho ball that carried the
line are on exhibition in tho life-say-
ing station at the Fair. The rusty iron
ball has long history. 1t struck the
deck and went crashing through the
timbers. The vessel sunk and was in
the course of time buried in the sands.
In 1875, during heavy storm, the
wreck was uncovered and washed ON
the shore. Between the old timbers
was found tho iron ball firmly i'm
bedded. The life car which brought
the people ashore is also on exhibition.
