CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.

There is no branch of the public ser
vice which more forcibly appeals to ad-
miratlOn than that devoted to the saw
ing OF life from wrecks along the coast.
The romance OF midnight battles wiki
the wind and sea and the herOism of
risking Cnes own life to save others
exercise an irresistible fascination upon
every one capable of appreciating brave
deeds. The service is maintained at
considerable cost to Jhe government
and ait no little peril to those employed
in It. But the yearly enumeration of
lives saved through its activities is am
pie proof of its benefcence. No one
would dream of abOlishing ii. No ra-
tional and humane man would oppose
the extension and development of it
commensurately with the growth of
marine commerce and travel, and with
the consequent need of Il. To any COM
plaint of its cost the answer is always
ready Ii saved so many hundred or SO
many thousand lives last year. Are
they not of more value than all the
money IL cost?
Well. but there is another life-savinR
service of vastly greater beneficence. II
is not set down as such in the books
Men call it merely the municipal adj
ministration. Instead OF applaudine
its efforts they often criticise and scoh
at them. It's agents are not lionized be-
rOes. A street sweeper in mud-bespa',-
tered white duck is not an impressive
figure. Cleaning streets, pulling down
ramshaokle tenements and overhauline
defective sewer pipes present an ignoble
contrast to pulling a lifeb"ait through
an angry Winter surf. Yet, judged by
the supreme criterion of achievement
| this humble commonplace service out
ranks all others as a roscuer and pre-
server of human lives.-New York Tri

ONLY WOMAN CONsuL

Probably the only woman who has
ever served as a United States consul is
an English lady wife of DR.. A. J. Little
the famous explorer, writes Margarita
Arlina Hamm. In the eighties he was
studying the Province of Sze Chuen
which lies to the eastward of Thibet
On account Of the disorderly condition
of the natives, he left his wife at Ichang
during his frequent absences from that
place.
The American consular agent was
called away by severe sickness, and left
to visit a European physician, who was
farther down the river. at Hankow
There was some jealousy between him
self and the people at the place, and the
only one in whom he had confidence
was the lady and her husband.
Her husband was off exploring, and
so, in orier to have some one in charge
of the consulate, he appointed Mrs. Lit
tie and departed. There is very little
consular business in that part of China
and neither he nor anyone else expect
ed that his representative would have
anything to do.
But Immediately after his departure
there was a series of local troubles be-

called upon for aid and protection.
Mrs. little, nothing daunted. took VI
the dispatch books, and using them fol
models for correspondence, she wrote a
series of letters to the mandarins sc
sharp and pointed that they promptly
caused justice to be done to the evan
gelists of the district. She worked very
hard, and what, with diplomatic Ian
guage, intimations that she might SEND
for an American gunbOat, and timely
hints that she might report the Chinese
official to the legation at Peking, witt
request for their political degrade
tion, she created almost new age fol
the Christian workers of that district.
She was cordially thanked by those
she aided, and afterward was congratu
lated by her superior and by the con
