CRANKS ON LIFE SAVING.
Peculiar Device Exhibited by One of

"Therc are cranks of every descrip-

marked the general superintendent II

ed, they insist, will put the life saving
service of the United States on a basis
of efficiency unequaled by any othor in
the world"
Recently a man from New Jersey call
ed on General Superintendent Kimbnll
and asked permission to don his newly
invented life saving jacket FOR the pur-
pose of demonstrating its many good fea-
lures. The permission was granted, and
the visitor proceeded to put on the jacket
which he claimed was the only salvation
of all shipwrecked people.
In the numerous pockets OF the gar
mcnt he had slowed away n whisky
flask, a box containing meat tablets, 4
candle and matches, pipe and tobacco,
a revolver and a number of cartridges.
To protect himself against sharks and
other dangerous inhabitants of the wa
tcrs, as he said, he cirded on himself a
long, razor edged machete. He then in
hated the air reservoir concealed between
the outer and inner cover of the jacket,
which caused him to assume the appear

had finished these preparations he tied

Meath the evergreens and snow,
"Al's quiet" where below the hill,
Potomacs waters flow.
"Alis quiet" at the front tonight,
And white the ground and chill:
For since the angel sounded taps,
The camp Is wondrous still.
"Alls quiet here; the guns are stacked,
The guidons all are furled;
The lights are out. and while you sleep
Peace rules your silent world.
So quiet, From no sentinel
The challenge sharp hear;
No clarion horn nor rafting drum
Proclaims the foe is near.
But yonder in prospective rise
Majestic shaft and dome,
The more than queenly city. whence
The laws of freedom come.
To her your priceless sacrifice
Made sure for coming years.
The powers whose wide expanding sway
Thrills both the hemispheres.
"Al's quiet" here. but millions, yon.
Awake the jubilee!
a race, with grateful song, recall
The price that made them free.
"Alrs quiet" here; but through the earth
Your deeds reverberate;
Inspiring people to arise
And nations to be great.
Halk! Dimly come in undertort
The rhythmic waves OF sound.
From the cities to the silences
That in your camp abound
They are the pulse and throb of life,
Which, like mighty sea,
Moves on resistless in its sweep
TO larger liberty.
And in that boundless life your deeds
Shall live for evermore,
Till deeds of earth like pillows break
IN heavens eternal shore.
"Alrs quiet comrades, and the snow;
That mantle you in white
Are whispering softly to your dreams,
Sleep peacefully tonight,
Softly We tread who marched with you
So many years ago;
And, marching still we're coming on
TO Join you meath the snow.
For frosts have touched us, limb anc

And SHOWS are on our head
That neer will melt until for US,

The True Phyaicinn.
One summer in California gentleman
who had Just removed from the Sand
witch Islands told me this incident: You
know that ono of the Sandwich Islands is
devoted to lcpers. People getting sick of
the leprosy on the other islands are sent
to the isle Of lepcrs. They never come
off. They are in different stages of dis
ease, but all VINO die on that island die Of
leprosy.
On one Of the islands there was ply
stefan who always wore his hand gloved,
and it was often discussed why he always
had glove on that hand under all cir
CumStauccs. One day he came to the au-
thoritics, and he withdrew his glove, AMI
he said to the officers of the law: you
sec on that hand n spot of the lcprosy
and that | am doomed to die | might
hide this for little while and keep away
from the isle of lepers; but | am a ply
stefan, and ! can go on that island and
administer to the suffcrings Of those who
are farther gone in the disease, and |
should like to 30 now. It would be self
ish in me to stay amid the luxurious sur
roundngs when | might he Of so much
help TO the wretched. Send me to the
isle Of the lcpers." They, seeing the spot
of lcprosy, of course took the man into
custody. He babe farewell to his fam
lily and his friends. 1t was an agonizing
farewell. He could never see them again.
He was taken to the isle of the lepers
and there wrought among the sick until
Frustrated by his own death, which at
last came. Oh that was magnificent self
denial, magnificent sacrifice, only sur
passed by that of him who cxiled him
self from the health of heaven to this
leprous island of world that he might

He has found that the great group of

some Of which have disappeared from
