Policemen of the Seas.

Revenue cutters are the policemen
Of the high seas. They have regular
beats to patrol along the coast, looking
for vessels in distress, suppressing
smuggling, illicit seal hunting and
mutinies. They also enforce quarantine
regulations, examine ships papers,
supply lighthouses, and act as life saw
ers, ambulance corps, fire department
and messenger boys generally, for the
government, at sea. The first revenue
cutters were built at the order of Alex
ander Hamilton, when he was secretary
of the treasury, and, except in war
times, when they are subject to the au-
thority of the navy, they are still under
Treasury department orders. Strange
to say, however, it is in times of peace
that revenue cutters fight their hardest
battles. They save many lives, and
property that is estimated at many mil
lions yearly. Their name gives little
idea of the great and varied service
they render the country.-N. Y. Trib-

PLEASURE
Ruakin Had u FavOrite Spot from
Which to View the
Landscape Ger.

Egbert Rydings, a Manxman who
managed a cloth-mill under the aus.
pieces of the Gid of St. George, was
intimately acquainted with Ruskin,
who founded the gid. He tells, in
Household Words, of a delightful
walk, when Ruskin showed what a
master of artistic effect he could be
in landscape as well as in words.
They climbed up the steep, rocky
road behind Ruskin's house at Brant.
wood. There were openings between
the trees, and at each one Rydings
was tempted to stop and steal a
glance at the view; but every time he
halted Ruskin drew his attention to
some object on the ground.
Once it was a harebell, and 'the
master" said:
"See. you would have put your foot
on that lovely flower if / had not held
you back"
Then he apologized for his seeming
abruptness in stopping his compan.
ion, and went on:
II believe God planted that flower
in the center of my path for me TIC
take care of. IL the hairs of oul
heads are numbered, and not a spar
row falls unnoted, this tiny flow.
err is surely as precious to Him as
either hairs or %sparrows."
They went on to the top, and
reached the stone wall of the Brant
wood boundary. Ruskin rested his
arr on the wall, and looked out over
lake and mountain.
"Now," said he, "you can look at the
scenery to your hearts content. ]
don't like to have my friends see this
picture of mine except from the best
point Of view, and that is this very
spot. This was the reason ] held
your attention on the path, when
your eyes began to wander and peer
over the treetops. / wanted the
whole view to burst on you at once
and not in pieces like a toy picture
cut in blocks"

THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
Since 1916 No European Has Succeed
ed in Reaching the Sacred
Temples of Lhasa.

It may be said, at the beginning of
the twentieth century, that, except for
the two poles, there is not a corner
Of the earth where white men have
not penetrated. Yet, in truth, there
exists on the Asiatic continent, hardly
200 miles from the frontier of British
India, a city, the capital of Thibet, to
which the white men" of Europe and
America are absolutely forbidden ac-
cess, writes J.. Deniker, in New Light
on Lhasa" in Century. Within a dis
lance Of from $50 to 200 miles from
this city, all the roads leading to it,
at the place where they cross the
frontier to the province of WI, of
which Lhasa is the chief town, are
jealousy guarded by pickets of Thibetan
soldiers. Immediately upon perceiving
a suspicious-looking a the senti-
nels notify the local authorities. The
advancing traveller then sees rise up
before him a whole detachment of
armed men, commanded by high func-
~tionaries of the country, who, without
discussing the matter, politely insist
that the bold pioneer retrace his steps.
They even offer him the money and
food necessary for the return voyage,
at the same time warning him that
If he. continue on his way to Lhasa he
will pay for it with his life.
Such a state of affairs has not al

and until the middle of the eighteenth
century, a number of Europeans, most
ly Catholic monks, were able to remain
for long periods in the Holy City" of
the Thibetans, who profess, as we
know, the Buddhist-Lamaist religion.
But since the expulsion, in 1850, of the
Capuchin monks, who tried to NEEDLE
with the internal affairs of the coun-
try, all Europeans have been regarded
with suspicion, and lone has been al
lowed to penetrate into Lhasa. Never
theless, in 1911 Thomas Manning, an
English traveller, and in 1886 Hue and
CADET, two French missionaries, were
able to spend months at Lhasa in the
disguise of Buddhist pilgrims. They
were recognized, however, and were
asked to leave the country as quickly
as possible. Since 1886 no European
has succeeded in reaching the sacred
temples of Lhasa.

HER JOY.

There's a world of joy in her heart to-day,
shes going away from care;
shes going to watch the dolphins play
And to breathe the salt sea air;
shes going to splash in the briny foam
And get herself sun-burned there.
She's going to leave her cares behind.
She's going. from worries free,
With not a trouble upon her mint
To splash in the salty sea,
And never to wear the same frock twice
At breakfast, dinner or tea.
She's taking her doggie along, the dear!
She fondles hin on her breast;
1t will give her gladness to nave him
near;
At night he will make his nest
On the bed so soft and sacred where
She blissfully lies at rest.
She's going away with a joyful heart
And exc with a well-illed purse;
AS smart as the best in a set that ID
smart,
She will eat and parade and immerse-
She's taking her doggie, the dear, sweet
thing!
Her baby remains with the nurse.

Apart from the labors that fruit into
pulpit ministration and pastoral and
public service, is no accounting to be
made of the mentral strain and the spir-
itual travail which are an %inalienable
part of the ministerial calling? Not
only does the minister carry on his
heart the sorrows of a great many per-
sons who look to him for succor, but
there are hours when the tide of his own
faith GIBBS. Is a minister's fight with his
doubts worth anything to the world?
Because he always seems so sure of his
hold IN the eternal verities, is it to be
thought that he is content to pass on
to others a merely traditional faith, in
stead of one that has been wrought out
in long hours of painful questioning
and wrought at last triumphantly into
the very texture of his own life? The
effort which a minister makes to keen
and broaden, to intensity and make
real, his W faith, to adjust it to the
growing light of science, is as neces-
sary and as noble a part of his work as
anything that he does.-Open Letter, in
Century.

Each Kitten Got a Swallow.

In the cours of a heavy storm
lightning struck the chimney of a
house in fredericksburg, killing a
score of chimney swallows that nested
in the lue. Some of the birds were
thrown down alive and entered one
of the Don through the old-fashioned
fireplace, fastening themselves in their
terror to every object, even to the
clothes of the frightened occupants of
the room. After the excitement n se
quent upon the accident had subsidized
the family cat was observed carrying
the dead swallows, one by one, to her
kittens in the Observation-Disclosures

WHAT THE YAWN IS.
Ingenious Little Exercise of Mother
Nature to Stir Up Lazy
Blood.

Have you ever thought about a
yawn? What causes it, what it pro-
tests against, what effect it has upon
the system? The yawn is an in
genious little form of exercise of
Mother Natures own devising. 1t is
natures own protest against lazy
blood, which is not circulating as ii
should, and against a sluggish system
in general, says a scientific writer.
Look a little closely into it and you
will find that human beings do not
yawn only when sleepy or bored, as is
generally supposed, but when cold or
bilious as well. Chilliness and indi-
gestion produce the same sluggish con-
dition of the blood as drowsiness does,
and consequently awaken the same dis
position to yawn.
To understand just how nature exer.
cises the system by this simple little
gymnastic course, think about it the
next time you find yourself yawning
and analyze the sensations. You will
discover that stretching, loosening, eX-
panding, mild as it is, extends to every
part of the body. The Jingle of it can
even be felt in the toes.
In the entire region of the head we
can actually see the physical culture
in progress by standing in front of a
mirror. The jaw drops, the cheeks are
drawn down, the movement is COM
m%unicated to the brow and scalp. The
tongue and throat are affected as well
as the entire neck.
The same relaxation that stimulates
lungs and chest is felt a moment later
in the abdomen, 1t requires nc stretch
of the imagination to feel it subse-
quently in limbs and feet. Every por-
ton of the body is reached and reused.
Take the hint that nature gives. Re-
gard the growing inclination to yawn
as a warning or a protest not to be
disregarded. When it occurs for any
reason but that of insufficient sleep,
some part of the physical machinery
needs attention. Something is affect
ing the circulation of the blood, and
consequently interfering with the work
of the lungs.
In most cases of persistent yawning,
not induced by the natural lack OF
sleep, vigorous exercise to be taken at
once is required. 1t will shake off the
impending chill, of which the chilly
yawn is premonitory, and will do much
toward remedying the indigestion.
which causes another kind.

The iceless refrigerator has been
achieved, but has not as yet been made
practicable for general use. In one Of
the newest and most palatial apartment
houses in New York the largest refriger-
ator in the kitchen of each apartment
contains two compartments. One is for
ice, but the other is a vat which con-
tains a freezing mixture. A set Of moulds
comes with the refrigerator to fit into
the tank. When any still freezing ice
cream is to be made, it is simply put into
. mould and placed in the tank until
serving time. Hot p%uddings, ETC., are
cooled In a few minutes there.
