Old British law Inus uesCI1Des
wreck and salvage: "When any ship
or boat is stranded or in sore dis
tress on any shore or tidal water of
the United Kingdom any one assist
ing to save the lives of those on the
endangered vessel or to save the
vessel itself and its cargo shall be
entitled to receive from the owners
reasonable sum besides expenses.
This payment is called salvage. No
receiver of wreck is entitled to sal
wage. Salvage on account of preser-
walton of human life has priority to
all other claims for salvage"
History is full of accounts of false
lights and lures placed by dishonest
hands for murderous purposes. A
shipload of passengers may go to
the bottom for all the wreckers may
care, so they gather a little profit
from the disaster. In ancient times
the British crown appointed a wreck
master, whose business it was to
take charge of and assist all strand
ed vessels and to prevent the plum
der that almost always accompanied
the breaking up of ship on an un-
frequented shore. Our life saving
service is the outgrowth of the wreck
master idea. The life savers are
volunteers, although salaried, and
are among the bravest and strongest
hearted men in our land.
Only on exceptional occasions do
we realize what their services really
are. When a great ship, with hun
dreds of passengers, is rescued from
the jaws of death the world won
ders, but these men, with the mus
cles ct steel and the eagle eye, take
their lives in their hands whenever
they go out to bring in some poor
fisherman or to gather up the scat
tered remnants of some unimpor-
tant marine industry. Wrecking has
been reduced to science, and the
appliances and methods employed
in this work are among the most in
teresting constructions ever design
ed by inventive genius. New York
Ledger.

A French Bibliophile.

The late Duo d Aumale was gen
'uine lover of books. and the New
York Tribune, quoting Lady Dixie,
has something to tell in this con
nection: His interest in his famous
library at Chantilly was far from
being confined to a superficial pleas
ure in the bindings, the beauty
or the rarity One could not lay
ones hand on volume in his SUI
peru and immense library with the
contents Of which he was not to
some extent familiar.
Unless, indeed, you were special
ly authorized to do SO, touching his
books was a temptation that it was
wiser to resist. He had Jealous
sense OF their value and could be
angry with daring hand
On one occasion, when the glass
doors before the shelves at the end
of the library had been unlocked
and some of his most precious treas
ures each in its own glass case
had been brought forth and opened,
/ heard him cry out peremptorily
to a most distinguished French
academician, who had ventured to
handle volumes
"Put it down, put it down, till
come to it! They should only be I'M
locked one by one as l show them to
Lady Dilke.''

A GEORGIAN sNuFFBox.

Though fallen from your high degree,
Once tapped by princely fingers,
You breathe of more than burnt rappee.
Round you memory fingers
OF those wild days of wine and wit,
OF patch, perulze and passion,
When sprightly Oldfield ruled the pit
And Hervey led the fashion,
When Walpole trimmed the chip OF state
To meet each Tory billow,
When 'poet Pug lampooned the great,
When Pulteney played Spadillo,
When worthless Moll'' amused the court
With philosophic chatter,
When Bolingbroke pledged deep in port
s'The king across the water"
When flashed the lightnings of the dean
To blind the eyes of Stella,
When SOOTHING Congreve vowed with spleen
The wares of Gay prunella,
When, stated with the boards delights
(For Georgian bucks were gluttons),
The town sparks sought the shades of
"White's'
Or tossed the dice at ssButton's,''
When tabinets were all the vogue
For feminine adjoining,
When Irish Biddy raised her brogue
And clacked her pals at morning,
When long and loud the conflict ragged
Betwixt the Macaroni
As each his diva's cause engaged
Faustina or Cuzzoni.
Old snuffbox, could you thrill to speech,
In gossip none were greater,
Whose chronicles exceed the reach
OF Taller or Spectator.
But, ali, as dumb as dead Queen Anne,
You lie in peace unbroken,
A remnant of the Georgian span,

THE HEART OF THE YEAR

We have fathomed the heart of the year
And we ask as our pleasures abound
II in all the glad years we have found
There was ever another SO dearf
Was there ever such verdure before
Or such fair fragrant lilies as these,
With whole meadows OF daisies to please.
Or Of fruitage SO lavish store.
And we think how we watched Tor the spring,
How we hailed the first bloom with delight
How we questioned by day and by night
What the new year, the strange year, would
bring.
And her heart she has shown us, and, oh!
There are pleasures and treasures of worth,
And she scatters them over the earth,
Where the feet of her lovers may go.
And we follow, like children o'erblest
With more gifts than they see in theii
dreams,
| And we linger by forests and streams
And drink of the fountain Of rest
| Oh, year that is bonny and sweet,
| For thy blessings SO lavish we fain
| Would thank thee again and again
| And pour out our love at thy feet!
| Emma A. Lente in Good Housekeeping.

The Moons of the Picture Makers.

Pictorial representations of our
celestial neighbor are often -singu-
larly ludicrous. Not long ago pc
riodical of the first rank published
an illustration wherein the sunlit
edge of the new moon was turned
away from its source of light-the
crescent turned up the sky from the
horizon. An important painting by
a well known artist shows the cres-
cent moon turned to the left of the
observer. This would have been all
right if the time had been morning
before sunrise, with the moon in
its last quarter-bu the subject Of
the picture is Gray's "Elegy In a
Country Churchyard, " at evening,
when the curfew tolls the knell of
parting day." Some small degree
of license is permissible in tipping
the crescent point or two for bet
ter effect where the place of sunset
is to be within the picture, but to
represent fair Luna turning her
back upon her genial lord is even
worse than the Boston sporting
mans idea of art, He, it may be
remembered, refused to take por-
trait Of his bull pup that he had com
missioned an artist to paint (who,
of course. had introduced the shad-
ows and half tones requisite to a
proper effecD on the ground that
the dog was ''just as white on one
side as the other and should be so
painted. New York Times.

ESDEAyoR NOTES


Last Sunday eves's meeting was a
rousing one. "The Christian Endea-
vor Locomotive. The program con-
sisted of responsive readings by the
members. First the boiler was ex-
planned. The Christian Endeavor
prayer meeting was compared to this
part Of the locomotive and followed
the comparison to the different parts
of the engine, pilot, steam chest,
smokestack, headlight, etc.
Why is it our society is so much
less Jealous than it was one year ago?
Simply because our members are less
careful about attending. When it's
inconvenient they say: g There'll be
enough there without me-" After
one does this another thinks he has
the same privilege and stays away.
Would it not be just as easy, fellow
workers, to remove the obstacle and
attend? Try and see if out of fifty
seven members if we can't get out at
least thirty-five.
