Your Uncle Sam rs a Life Saver.

One OF Uncle Sans occupations that
has given him great reputation
throughout the world is his work as a
life saver. Some of his very bravest
sons are in his employ to do nothing
else except to watch the sea and 90
out to save sailors and travellers if
their ship is wrecked anywhere within
reach.
Every hour of their lives Sbese men
are like. soldiers in war time-always
ready TO 90 to death in the attempt TO
rescue Others. Their enemy IL an enc
nv far more cruel add far more terri
bIe than ever a human foe. When the
great storms beat upon the sea and the
great surf mounts and comes roaring
toward the beach. when the gale
blows so cold that every drop of spray
freezes as it falls, when the winds are
so mighty that a strong man often can
hardly make his way against them
then is the time that the life-savers of
Uncle Sam look for the rocket shining
against the black sky or the faint boom
of far off gun to tell them thata ship
needs their help.
There are no bands of music to give

them inspiration. No shining banners
fly for them. In the night and the
gloom, with not an eye to see, with no
fierce enthusiasm of battle to force
them on, led by no hope of reward,
they 60 out, knowing that they may
never return, knowing that many
crews of life-savers like them have
gone tae same way to die.
Some day some one will write his
tory for Uncle Sam, and in it the glo.
rious story OF their deeds will lead all
the stories of war by sea ard land.
That story Will tell the world how
simple devotion to duty has made he
roes who were as truly great as ever
the men who charged on stricken
fields.
For the life-saver there is not even
the reward of large pay. They get $50
a mouth, and that only during the
months in which they are actually en-
ployed. Uncle Sans laws forbid their
receiving rewards.
Uncle Sam has 1876 life-savinq sta.
tions ou the Atlantic and Gulf of Mex
leo coasts, is on the Pacific coast and
IS on the Great Lakes, and in every
one of them there are heroes.

MOROS ONE OF THE TEN LOST TRIBES
Returned Teacher Gives Reasons Believing Them
Missing Tribes of Israel. Interesting Account OF Some
of Their Pecuiarities Customs.

he sat in the union depot at Denver,
"that | have discovered one of the ten
lost tribes of Israel" Mr.. Curran was
talking to a friend at the time, but the
eavesdropper, who takes a great deal
of interest in the ten lost tribes, could
not restrain his curiosity and broke
into the conversation with an abrupt -
"Where? Do tell me where"

Carran, who is returning to his home

facial appearance now to be seen in
the descendants of the two tribes
which did not get lost.
"My reasons for thinking so are
numerous, but perhaps the strongest
is that they believe in the Jewish rites
of circumcision, and hold no man
friend or brother who does not. An
other thing is that they most cordially
hate and despise Americans because
they eat pork, and the third and
strongest reason is that they hold the
Old Testament in the grandest Tenera-
ton next to the Koran, and their
sages and wise men can repeat it word
for word, forward or backward. The
ancient history of the Jews is known
to the smallest children, who are en-

fathers with stories of David and
Moses and all the rest Of the Jewish

naughty in the extreme, and delight
in nothing so much as giving exhib

there's another thing which adds to
my belief that they are one OF the lost
ten tribes. The children, when TOO

Commissioner of Agriculture Stew
ems monthly letter, just issued, on
the tarm interests of Georgia, is az
follows
Not only the staple crops demand
the fostering care of the Department
Of Agriculture, but the rapidly growing
fruit industry deserves also our oc-
easiOnal notice. None of the great en-
terprises, which command the atten-
ton of our people, furnish more graft
tying evidence of growth than do our
orchard trees and fruits of ala kinds.
Our apple trees number about twice
as many as in 1890; our peach trees
nearly three times as many; cherry
and plum trees, more than five times
as many; pear trees. more thar three
times and apricots twice as many.

can for Agriculture, in his report to

that he will proceed further i'm his
efforts to prevent violations of the

they seem To think were enacted
to fill space; to be inactive except
under certain conditions, all of

1t is easy to realize that his un-
safeness lies in his strenuous acti-

for the people. He occupies the
