Description of the Stations.
The Hfe-saving stations upon the ocean
beaches are generally situated among the
low sand-hills common to such localities
sufficiently back Of high-water mark to be
safe from the reach of storm tides. They
are plain structures, designed to serve as
BARRACKS for the crews and to afford con-
Venient storage for the boats and an
paratus. Most of those upon the Long

to special localities. These have accom-
plished many marvellous feats.
The coast of the British isles is dotted
with small towns. and in nearly every one
of these is a life-saving station. There
are 256 life-saving stations in this country.
OF these fifty-five are on the lakes. There
are only fourteen stations on the Pacific
coast and these do comparatively little
work. Few disasters are credited to this
coast. The Cape Cod district Of this coun-
try is the worst of any section, furnishing
mere disasters than the same stretch of
any other part Of the United States.
Along the Atlantic Coast.
From the eastern extremity of the coast
Of Maine to Race Point on Cape Cod, a

MARKETING TOBACCO.
ADVICE GfVcn by the Department q

ADVICE GfVcn by the Department of
Agriculture.
The Department Of Agriculture has ia
sued bulletin on the subject of Touring
tobacco il which the following advice as
to marketing is rendered:
FOR the production of a salable article
much depends upon the character of the
SOIL, and great deal depends upon the
SELL In curing. Fully as much, however.
depends upon the proper grading and sort
ing OF the tobacco, and the style of pack
age In which 1t Is sent to the manufacturer.
TOO much cannot be said about the neces-
sity for very careful attention to these ap-
parently small details. 1t is very import
ant. moreover, that the planters should
study the markets, the demands from for
elgn countries, the requirements of our
own manufacturers, and aim to produce
exactly what they want. and to get it to
them in the way in which they can best
use 1t rather than to study the matter of
economy.
"A great deal can be accommodated bv
Improving the seed, by importing new seed
and by improving the methods of cultiya-
ton, but more can be accomplished by a
steady and persistent effort to produce
through methods of cultivation and fer,
mentation. sorting, grading etc. the clos
est possible resemblance to the type which

the practice of grading and sorting, in

The crews are selected by the keepers
from able-bodied and experienced surfnen

Each station has a keeper who has direct
control OF all its affairs. The position held
by this officer will be recognized at once
as one OF the most important in the SER
vice. He Is, therefore. selected with the
greatest care. The indispensable oualifica-
lions for appointment are that he shall be
OF good character and habits, not less than
twenty-one nor more than forty-ffve years
OF age; have sufficient education to be able
to transact the station business: be able

h..

All the stations on the ocean coast OF
Long Island. twenty-nine stations on The
coast Of New Jersey, nine stations on the
coast between Cape Henlopen and Cape
Charles, and all the stations between Cape
Henry and Hatteras inlet are connected by
telephone lines.
The station buildings upon the coast are
all constructed with a view to Withstand
the severest tempests. Those located-as
many necessarily are-where they are
liable to be undermined or swept from
their positions by the ravages Of storms
and tidal waves, are SO strongly put to,
gether that they may be overthrow and
sustain but trifling injury. There are in
stances on record where they have been
carried long distance in1and-in one case
a half a mile-without sustaining material
damage. This substantial construction also
enables them to be easily and cheaply
moved when threatened by the gradual
encroachment of the sea, which, upon
course of years great changes in the con-
fguration Of the coast line

A Floating Station.
The floating station at Louisville is a
scow-shaped hull, on which is house Of
two stories, surmounted by a lookout. Be-
sides the housekeeping furniture there are
but few equipments; two boats, called life
skiffs. and two reels, each with capacity
to hold a coil of 5-inch MANILA rope and SO
placed in the boat room that q line can be
speedily run out from either, or, IL desired,
that they can be rolled out of the boat
room, with the lines upon them, for use
elsewhere. The station Is usually moored
above the dam at a place which will afford
the readiest access to boats meeting with
accident, but 1t can be towed from place
to place when necessity requires, as was
the case in the great floods of 1854,
when 1t was of incalculable service in res
cuing people from the upper stories and
roofs OF their inundated dwellings, and in
distributing food to the famishing On these
two calamitous occasions the crew of this
station rescued and took to places Of safety
over 800 fmperiled persons-men, women
and children-among them many sick and
fnhrm-and supplied food and other neces-
saries to more than 10000.
The Crews.
The number Of men composing the crew
OF station Is determined by the number of
oars required to pull the largest boat be-
longing to It, There are some hve-oared
boats in the Atlantic stations, but at all OF
them there is at least one of six oars Six
men, therefore, make up the regular crews
OF these stations, but a seventh man Is
added on the LIST of December SO that dur
ing the most rigorous portion Of the season
