On a coast where shoals and reefA make the use Of a life boat Impractie- able, or where the breakers and surf put an insurmountabIe barrier between the distressed crew on g wreck and the brave men on shore. the life rocket is resorted to; and, if the ship is within a certain distance, the swift travelling line propelled through the air comes like a messenger Of hope and life to those poor souls who, but moment before, seemed beyond the reach of hu- man aid. But, see! Suddenly snow white serpent shoots up in the air. II comes nearer and nearer; the anxious ly strained eyes can now see the line which travels with it. It has reached the wreck and has been seized by eager hands. Quickly it is pulled through a tail-bIoek, and, as they haul on, stout rope soon follows in it's wake. Next comes a hawser, by means of which food and restoratiYes can be passed to the sufferers. Lastly comes the life buoy, and one by one the crew is safe ly landed. Sometimes a kind Of car is sent, in which several people can be rescued at the same time.

 It seems strange to think that any full grown. four-footed animal should indulge in play like 8 child. and yet this is what the otter does. His amusement is tobaggaHiHg, and his playground is a slope. covered with ice or snow. that goes down grade into a pool of water. No little boy. with new sled, ever enjoyed a coast down an ice-bound hill more than this beau tifuI creature from the frozen T 'Sh- The otter Is quite large, sometimes weighing IS much as g pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- Ing, however, Of heavier build and is beth supple and strong. Living for the most part in water he preys on ash, which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. The entrance to his home, which is bafroW in the bank Of a stream, is under the water. Tn the early spring when the ice begins te thaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another. sometimes spend- ing months on the Journey # they happen to see an inviting hill by the wayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. One of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope. making smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body. When the slide is pre- pared. he lies flat on his belly, thrusts his nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail Ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds: then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give a call which sounds like a whistle. This Is sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- Iron and shoots down to the bottom to Join hls companion. who has mean while crawled ont on the ice. Then another whistle and the next in order slides and plunges. and the perform ance Is kept Up until each one has several trips to his credit.-Exehang

PAYING OFF IN BANK CHECKS.
One Troublesome Practice L ssened by
 the War Revenue Tax.

the War Revenue Tax.
 .sThe war tax has It's drawbacks" re> marked the cashier in a large stock yards concern, zsbut it is a blessing to q man in my position. I never knew to what extent the habit of making small bank checks had spread until l saw a contractor pay off his laborers one Saturday night in checks. I made Inquiry. and found that 1t was q con- mon practice not only with him. but many others who hired great bodies of men. The latter didn't like 1t, Of course, because they were obliged to cash the checks at the nearest gin mill. which meant loss to them, because they had to treat. A contractor who made practice of Issuing small cheeks told me frankly that in the old days, when 1t was necessary to face each check with 2-cent internal revenue stamp, he made as few checks as poe< sible The war tax having included bank checks the habit of issuing small checks has practically been discon- tinued. That's why I say the tax is blessing in disguise. It is not profit able to issue checks for small sums There Is still another reason why we now use fewer checks for small amounts. Expert bank men declare that the simplest check to raise is the one calling for an amount below s10. The percentage of raised checks is s on sums below BIO. Another reason for the opposition to small checks is that they bother the bank authorities Some banking institutions will cast out patrons account should he per sist in making small checks. The eheapentng of the registry of letters is another reason for the suppression Of smell checks"
