THE LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
All Through the Night the Surtnen
Patrol the Beach.

/ All through the night the Surfmen
are patrolling the beach at Monomoy,
as they do from Quoddy Head to
Cape Florida, meeting in the little
shanty on a sanddune called Halfway
( House to tell one another the news
of the hour, and to exchange the
numbered brass tags by which the
captains may know that the watch has
gone faithfully to the end of his post.
For ten months in the year the vigil
ance is not relaxed During June
and July the crews are rewarded for
their years labor by the gift OF
generous vacation without pay.
They may FISH or farm or do what they
will for a living. The captains then
sit, each one alone. in the life-savng
stations, and of any ship is foolish
enough to get wrecked at this time,
when, according to the rules of Uncle
Sam, there should be neither storm
nor wreck, the nearest captain picks
up a scratch crew of fishermen and
other 'longshoTe folk and does the
best he can to save lives. Storms
and wrecks do occur now and then in
these periods, but they really should
not: and, therefore, Congress In Its
wisdom refuses to keep the lifesayers
on duty. From the wisdom of Con-
gress there is no appeal.
Truly, there mustibe all the fascin-
alton of a game in this serene and skill
full contest with raging Death. 1t
cannot be the bait of wages that at
tracts these heroes to the service. The
captains receive $500 a year, and the
surfmen $50 a month. During the
two months of unpaid vacation they
get 50 apiece for each occasion of
service. No; theee is no money lure
in this game. The service requires
men of perfect health and strength.
Whenever the surgeon discovers surf
man or captain to have fallen below
perfect condition. he is incontinently
put out, no matter how many years
he may have spent in life-saving And
there is no pension. Mr.. Kimball,
the superintendent of the department
has tried again and again to persuade
congress to grant pensions to these
men. but congress in its wisdom has
always said no. And from the wis
dom of congress there is no appeal

A Memory Tust,


A professor OF mnemonics had gone
to lecture at or near Canterbury.
After the lecture was finished he had
to wait for his London train. 1t was
most comfortless day. and he re-
tired to an inn for shelter and re-
freshment. To pass the time he be-
gan TO exhibit his feats of memory to
the yokels in the Inn .parlor, and one
and all were thunderstruck except the
waiter. There is always one skeptic
in every communion, whether of
saints or sinners. Do what he would
he could not mitigate the scrid smile
of aerid incredulity of that glorified
potman! In the midst of one OF his
most difficult feats the whistle
sounded of the "Only train to London

KING OF MODERN vIoLINlsrs.
kubelk the Son of Poor Bohemian
Market Gardener.

Kubelik, the famous violinist is a
living proof that even In Europe merit
may carry a man from a peasants hut
into exclusive society, says the De-
lineator.
Twenty-seven years ago the pooT
Bohemian market gardener Knbelik,
to whom son had Just been born,
would have called insane anybody who
predicted that the baby would live to
marry into the most exclusive aristoc-
racy In Europe. In his part of the
world music is the supreme art, and it
seemed natural that the king of mod
ern violinists should wed Countess
Marianne Czaky, daughter of one OF
those ancient bohemian houses that
trace their origin farther back than
any other aristocracy in Europe. ku-
belik was but % years old at the time
of his marriage and the little countess
was even younger. They live at Kolin.
Bohemia. where the famous violinist
has bought q castle, and there they d.
vide thier time between music and the
care of their twin daughters. II there
is anything in the adage that a good
son makes good husband Mrs.
kuhelik should be very happy, for her
husband is devoted to his old peasant
mother and deeply reveres the mem.

sacrifice for his sons musical eduea-

, take hold, considering the light sup.
! plies upon distributors shelves. The
cotton goods situation has also been
somewhat helped by a reduction of
about 10 per cent in wages, which
was mucn better for the operatives
than d forced shutdown of the mills.
1t Is worthy of note that the process
of REIMBURSEMENT following the panic
has been more easily accomplished
in the cotton goods industry than In
any other. This disparity due to the
fact that cotton manufacturers are not
under trust or monopoly influence;
While the unions are frequently led by
