PArRoILINo THE BEACH.


A Duty that the Lise-savers Arc cafieS
Upon to Perform.
The patrol from sunset to sunrise Is
one Of the most important duties In the
service, and the most careful rules arc
laid down In regard to Its performances.
When stations are near together, as on
dangerous coasts, the two pa;rolmen
from Station 3D." starting along the
beach In opposite directions, walk until
they meet patrolmen from 20" and
d. with whom they exchange checks,
and return to their own stations. ut
the end of a week the checks are re-
turned to their proper stations. and this
Is kept up during the season, week after
week.
The keepers Of lonely stations pro-
vide the surfmen with time-detectors.
A time-detector il similar to q clock
with a hinged cover, fastened by a lock
the key to which is retained by tho
keeper; beneath the cover a revolving
plate supporting a paper dial is placed
and q die 81 arranged that when y

clock a mark is made upon the paper

reaches this he winds the clock-the
dial-plate Is marked; failure to be at lns

At midnight, at such q station, the
keeper gives to the two patrolmen a
clock containing fresh diai-plates, and
these two men going IN opposite direc-
tons patrol the beach TIL A in the morn
ing. When these return to the station,
two other men take their places till
sunrise. The next night, at sunset,
two new men keep guard until s in the
evening, and at that hour their places
are taken by two others, until midnight.
Then, returning to the station, the keep
er Is called, new dial-plates are inserted
m the clocks, they are locked and given
to two new patrolmen. who walk till 4
In the morning. So from sunset till
sunrise u American coasts are pa
troled by solitary watchmen. on the
lookout for vessels In danger.
No weather is severe enough to daunt
these brave men, and they trudgs all
night In rain, hall, wind. or snow, while
we are comfortably Sleeping.
The patrol duty at a station Is 10

Frost, Frolic and Business.

The wind over frozen ponds and
lakes, over snow-felds OF plsins and
open country, is heavily charged with
frost and fine particles of frozen matter.
1t is the most penetrating way for chill
to set in. Sudden warmth. sudden chill
and severe colds. Girls and boys skat.
ing, driving for pleasure or business,
and men at work atield know the diff
ference in temperature. Yetth young
sters skate away and with mouth open
laughing take in a dose of sore throat.
Drivers and workmen throw aside wraps
and all know the next day from sore
ness and stiffness what sudden chill
means. Now the best thing to do when
housed is to rub well at onc with St.
Jacobs Oil. II you do, you will not
have s~orethroat; or il you are stiff and
