The Bishop and HIS Bun.

The Bishop of Worcester, England,
once had occasion to travel through
Banbury by rail. Being desirous to
test and at the same time to encourage
the far-famed industry of that town,
and the train having stopped for q
short time at the station, he beckoned
to small boy standing near at hand
and inquired the price Of the cele-
brated buns. 'Threepence each, "
said the boy. The Bishop thereupon
handed him sixpence and desired him
to bring one to the car, adding: "And
with the other threepence you may
buy one for yourself" The boy shortly
returned, complacently munohing his
Banbury, and handing the threepence
in coppers to the Bishop, exclaimed:

What Some Plates Cost.

The plates that are most popular
among multi-millionaires are of Min
ton ware. They cost $2740 each. A
plate of plain gold costs just about the
same sum. They are very handsome,
as they well might be at the price.
These gems for the tables of the rich
have an exquisite painting in the CEN
tire of each. They are painted by the
celebrated Boulliniere, and the de-
signs are taken from old miniatures.
The coloring Of these little pictures is
simply exquisite, and every tiny detail
of the face, hair and costume is worked
out with the daintiness of perfection.
The picture is surrounded by lace
like pattern in raised acid gold. The
edges of the plates are open work in a
lace design, decorated with running
pattern in gold.

The crews are selected by the keep
ers from able-bodied and experienced
surfmen residing in the vicinity of the
respective stations.
Each station has 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 service. He is,
therefore, selected with the greatest
care. The indispensable qualifica-
tions for appointment are that he shall
he of good character and habits, not
less than twenty-one nor more than
forty-fve years of age; have sufficient
education to be able TO transact the sta
ton business; be able-bodied, physi-
cally sound, and master of boat-craft
and surfing.
Upon original entry into the service
surfman must not be over forty five
years Of age, and sound in body, being
subjected to rigid physical examine
ton as to expertness in the manage
ment of boats and matters of that
character by the inspector of the dis
trict.

tanned cisterns are provided for water
caught from the roof. There sur
mounts every station lookout or OBJ
servatory, in which n day watch is
kept. The roofs upon the stations on
those portions of the coast exposed to
view from the sea are usually painted
dark red, which makes them dis
tinguishable long distance off shore.
They are also marked by flagstaff
sixty feet high, used in signaling pass
ing vessels by the International code.
The stations (other than the house
of REFUGEE are generally equipped with
two surf boats Supplied with oars,
life boat compass and other outfits), a
boat carriage, two sets of breeches-
buoy apparatus Gncluding a Lyle gun
and accessories), cart for the trans
portation of the apparatus, n life-car,
twenty cork jackets, two heaving sticks,
n dozen Coston signals, q dozen sig
nal rockets, a set of the signal flags Of
the international code, medicine
chest with contents, barometer, q
thermometer, patrol lanterns, patrol
checks or patrol clocks, the requisite
furniture for rude housekeeping by the
crew and for the succor of rescued peo-
pie, fuel and oil, tools for the repair
of the boats and apparatus and for
minor repairs to the bull dings, and
the necessary books and stationery.
At some of the stations the Hunt gun
and projectiles are supplied, and at a
few the Cunningham rocket apparatus.
To facilitate the transportation Of
boats and apparatus to scenes of ship

at stations where they cannot be hired,

by water, supply boat is furnished.

would naturally appear to be replete

merous harbors and places of shelter

quent; at least, until other dangerous
parts of the coast shall have been pro-
vided for.
The life-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 bar
racks for the crews and to afford con-
venient storage for the boats and ap-
parstus. Most Of those upon the Long
Island and New Jersey coasts have
been enlarged from the boat houses

comely in appearance, while q few,

ties.

GUARDING THE COAST.
-M+X
Work Performed by the United States Life-Saving
Service Ocean, Lake and River.

The work of the life-saving service
of the country during the past year
has been so creditable as to be highly
pleasing to the governmental officials
here. There have been fewer dis
asters and more lives saved on the
coast in the last year than ever before
in the history of the country. With
out question the life-saving service of
the United States is the superior of
that of any Nation in the world. This
is demonstrated every day.
Many stories are told, and many
novels written of the hardy and sturdy
volunteer life savers of England, but
these veterans do not compare with
the trained, brave life crews Of our
own country.
During the fiscal year 1896 there
were 1920 disasters on the coasts of
the British isles. Despite the efforts
of the life savers ASS lives were lost
Along the immense coast of this
country, including also the great
lakes. there were, during the same
period, $50 disasters and only twenty
lives lost. The figures of rescues are
not given, but the lives saved by
American life savers are far in excess
of the number saved by the English
There are 256 life-saving stations in
this country. OF these fifty-fve 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 country
is the worst of any section, furnishing
more disasters than the same stretch
of any other part of the United States.
From the eastern extremity of the
coast of Maine to Race Point on Cape
Cod, distance of 4l5 miles, there are
but sixteen stations, ten of these be-
ing located at the most dangerous
points on the coast of Maine and New
Hampshire, which, although abound
ing with rugged headlands, islets,
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1897-10-13

stations between Cape Henry and Hat
teras inlet are connected by telephone
lines.
The station buildings upon the coast
are all constructed with view to with
stand 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 together that they may
be overthrown and sustain but trihing
injury. There are instances on record
where they have been carried a long
distance inland-in one case half
mile-without sustaining material
damage. This substantial construc-
ton also enables them to be easily and
cheaply moved when threatened by
the gradual encroachment of the sea,
which, upon many sections of the coast,
effects in the course of years great
changes in the confguration of the
coast line.
At Louisville, Ky, are dangerous
falls in the Ohio River, across which
dam has been constructed. Naviga-
ton there is dangerous, and a station
is established. The floating station at
Louisville is scow-shaped hull, on
which is q house of two stories, sur
mounted by lookout. Besides the
housekeeping furniture there are but
few equipments; two boats, called life
skiffs, and two reels, each with o ca
IN oity 10 hold N on;l of 6ya ob ,,,or
lila rope, and SO placed in the boat
room that boat can be speedily run
out from either, or, if desired, that
they can be run out of the boat room,
with the lines upon them, for uso else
where. The station is usually moored
above the dam at place which will
afford the readiest access to boats
meeting with accident, but it can be
towed from place to place when neces-
sity requires, as was the case in the
great floods of 1SS3-'84, when it was
of incalculable service in rescuing
people from the upper stories and
roofs of their inundated dwellings,
and in distributing food to the famish-
ing. On these two calamitous occa-

number Of oars required to pull the

are some fve-oared boats in the At

is at least one Of six oars. Six men,
