LIfe- SnNlng Trlrphnne Lines.

The total length of life.saving tele.
phone lines is, 1t ~ stated nearly
1000 miles, and there are more than
200 telephone connections ut life
saving stations, half way places, light
houses aud other points in connection
with the service covering the Atlantic
coast from Maine to Ilntteras Inlet,
n. G. Llnemen's work on the coast
il not pleasant duty, the trips being
long with dangerous inlets to DO
crossed, aud there is but little shelter
on tho beaches in stormy weather.
The one man who has charge of the
100 miles of the North Carolina Sec
ton has to make most of his trips on
muleback. At come points on tho
coast Of Cape Cod tho halfway places
are connected by telephone with the
main line.
The designation OF halfway" is
applied to u place about midway be-
tween two lfe.savng stations, where
tho patrols meet aud exchange checks
during the night watches. The object
in connecting the halfway places is to
enable the patrols to send in an alarm
of wreck on report vessels that may be
in distress in the vicinity of the half
way place without having to run back
through miles of loose sand, and per-
hnps in the face Of gale, TO notify
their station. Many time when, in
the old days, this had TO be done, tho
ship aud crew were under the water
before help arrived, that now would
have been saved.
This telephone service is also used
in calling tugs to go to vessels in dis
tress at sea, 10 notify owners and
underwriters of disasters, to watch
disabled vessels, aud in isolated places
to call up n physician or substitute
patrols in case Of sickness, etc. Every
section is connected with some tele-
phone Office where kilograms can DO
sent and received. New York Times.

Used to become one of the richest in
that country. Then he determined to
60 back home and tell the girl Of his
heart of his good fortune. He would
be his own messenger in carrying the
glad news, so without word, he put
his things together and started east.
"Of course, having no correspond
ence with any one in town, no one was
aware of Howards good fortune, and
when he arrived at his old home he
came unheralded. He took only suiii-
Client time to brush up bit, and then
he started for Mr.. Wardlow's. Ar
rived Mt the house he knew so well and
the afternoon being warm, he found
nobody about, save the old gardener,
who was looking after the flowers.
Where is your mistress? Howard
asked
1.-The old man hesitated.
"'Can't you understand English?'
Howard said impatiently, Where il
your mistress?'
'She's-she's in the grove, sir,
n-rea1ing,' said the old man, bowling
obsequiously, and without more ado
Howard went 10 seek her. You can
perhaps imagine the meeting. He
came suddenly upon fair young crea-
ture swinging in her hammock under
the trees and reading, Coming up
quietly behind her he caught her to
his heart, as he covered her face with
kisses.
"Then he held her off at arms
length and said;
"'Maud, my daringr
"While she answered, Howard
and hid her face on his breast.
Howard had waited sufficiently
long for his wife, ard so they were
quietly married the next day, and
left at once Oh their wedding tour"
Here the Judge ceased his story,
and sat silent, putting at his cigar, SO
long that the other said
"Well, l don't see anything so very
risky in that.
The Judge smiled and then went
on:

Howard had married. Maud had sue
numbered to the charms of foreigner,
had married and gone away with him.
The other one loved Howard had al
ways loved him, and when she saw
that he mistook her for Maud of course
she pitied him. When she found, too,
that he had not the slightest notion Of
:he true condition of affairs, she con-
ceived the idea of marrying him her
self, and explaining to him afterward.
After much coaxing, and because she
believed that her daughters happi-
ness depended upon it, Mrs. Wardlow
consented to the plot When they re-
turned from their wedding tour.
Towards wife told him everything.
He's sensible fellow and was quick
to see that what had happened was

The Siamese Kings Country Home.

The country palace Of the king OF
Siam is called Bang pain. About
forty miles north of Bangko ok, on the
Meinsm, are two islands, separated by
a narrow channel not $50 feet wide.
On the smaller Of these is IA Buddhist
temple and college, and on the other
is the country residence Of the king
of siam, which consists of three build
ings-the official, the private and the
Chinese palaces. Each is separated
from the other by canals, with which
the island is intersected, and which.
in places, are enlarged into small arti.
fetal lakes. Sluice gates are provided
between the canal and river, which
serve to maintain the level of the
water in the former, and also for
flushing; for, although some seventy
two miles from the sea, the tide rises
and falls between three and four feet.
Through these pass the boats contain
ing the ladies of the household, who,
to escape public notice, are landed q
few feet from their apartments.
The Ko-pra, or landing stage, is a
wooden gangway, hinged at both ends,
and resting on pontoon anchored in
water deep enough to allow large
launches 10 moor alongside. At the
top Of the bank is band stand, close
against portico of classical design,
which forms the entrance to the Off
cial palace, and looks down a narrow
strip of walks and lawn, shaded by
mango and tamarind trees. On the
occasion Of a grand fete, this was the
site Of an enormous device that was
used for an electric light illumination.

RlLEY'S LUCK.
Riley was q lazy fellow,

Riley was lazy fellow,
Never worked a bit.
AL day long In some store corner
On chair he'd sit.
Never talked much-too much trouble
Tired his jaws, you see.
All Of Us were making money;

Some one offered him ten dollars
il he Il work two days;
Riley crossed his legs and looked up
~ the suns hot rays.
Then he leaned back In the shadow,
Sadley shook his head
"Npyer asked me till hot weather;
jest my luck!' he said.
Riley courted Sally Hopkins
In his lazy way;
When he saw Jim Dodson kiss her
''JeSt my luck" he'd say.
Leap year came, and Mandy Perkins
Sought his company;
Riley sighed, and married Mandy;
"Jest my luck!' says he.
Riley took his wife out fishing
In q little boat,
Storm blew up and turned them over;
Mandy wouldn't float.
Riley sprang into the river,
Seized her by the hair.
Swan mile unto the shore. where
Friends pulled out the pair.
Mandy was so full ot water
Seemed she'd surely die;
Doctors worked with her two hours
Ere she moved an eye.
They told Riley she was better;
Doctors were In glee;
Riley chcwed an old pine splinter;
