REVENUE CUTTER sEavIcE.
Sends It's Ships Around the World.
Little Smuggling Now.

Little Smuggling Now.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The revenue cutter service of the United
States government has celebrated the
10th anniversary Of its establishment.
All over the world, in whatever port the
vessels were lying, they were In ''full
Dress" with the fiags and bunting flying.
Officers and crews, in all the glory of full
uniforms, were mustered on the main
deck and the commanders rehearsed to
them the history of the service. It is q
history SO interesting and so honorable
that the country may well take a pride
In 1t, as do its officers and enlisted men.
Created primarily to assist the Treasury
Department In the collection of the Gus
toms duties and the enforcement of the
tariff laws, especially in the prevention
Of smuggling. it's scope has greatly wild
ened with the passing years. Smuggling
by vessels has been practically DESTROYED.
and there Is probably no other country
with high tariff that suffers 50 little
from this source as does the United
States.
The revenue cutter service now sends
its vessels around the world wherever
flies the American flag. 1t patrols the
sealing grounds Of Alaska as well as the
shores Of Florida, and Its flag floats In
many ports from Baltimore to Manila.
Before the outbreak Of the Spanish war
one OF it's duties was to intercept the hh-
busters which were carrying arms to the
Cuban insurgents. and II had many a
lively brush with the swift little tugs
that stole out from the coast on this In
teresting but illegal mission. A constant
watch must be kept on vessels under
suspicion OF carrying arms to the insur-
gents in the various rebellions that keep
the countries OF Central and South Amer
lea in such continual turmoil, and the
cutters. have nipped In the bud many q
young revolution.
But a more practical and important
service that the revenue cutters render
to navigation Is In aid to ships In dis
tress, ships disabled by storms or acct
dents. The brave little cutters form
iife-saving service on the high seas, and
have saved many q vessel from ship
wreck and brought her safely into port
Another task 1t performs Is In the de-
structien Of derelicts that lie in the path
OF steamships and constitute one Of the
greatest dangers to navigation. Recently
the government has built a special yes
sci for this purpose; and the derellct-
destroyer Seneca is said to be the only
vessel OF Its kind In the world. Balti-
more takes peculiar pride In the reve-
nue. cutter service, because here, at Arun-
del Cove. Md. Is located its training sta
ton, where the young Officers are pre-
pared for the service. and this Is the
headquarters for this navy OF the Treas
ury. From this school these splendid
young officers-picked men who are se-
lected only after dihicult physical and
mental examination-ares sent out to their
posts in all the seven seas. The govern
ment should reward their efficiency by
handsome station. with adequate build
ings and equipment, that would be to
the revenue cutter service what Annapo-
lis is to the navy.

SOCIAL FEARLEssNEss.
Can Any Man OF Woman Succeed
Without FTP

tOm tue LOuUOu CptCtdtOI
In the handicap of life social fearless
ness is an immense advantage. 1t Is al
most the equivalent of birth. The strange
thing is that 1t should be so uncommon.
A small amount of reflection should en-
courage even the most arrant social cow
ard. Society is the only place In which
courage is actually protection. Roughly
speaking no harm can happen to us II
only we are not afraid. Intrepidity i'm
plies almost no risk. Yet how few Of US
can say to ourselves that our hearts have
never sunk In a new social atmosphere.
or that we have never lost our heads In
the presence Of those persons who cult
vate the repute OF social greatness and
dread. But there are a few men and
women to whom social fear is unknown.
We can all call to mind some such. They
belong to many types and to all ranks
Of life.
Some OF the socially fearless are among
the most lovable characters In the world.
There are few childlike natures who
retain forever an instructive trust in
humanity. They seem always to be in
sympathy with their company. They know
there Ii something in their attitude
toward strangers which we can only de-
scribe as Difference: but their Difference,
like that of children. lies very close to
dignity. They pay it instinctively to every
one. to rich and poor alike. as the best
hammered children pay 1t. They never. as
we say. let themselves down: yet they
seem always to be looking up. There Is
something in them OF the very spirit of
youth. and they have always the supreme
charm OF happiness. Men say that they
are lucky; 1t would be truer to say that
they are gifted.
More Of those food tides which lead on
to fortune are missed through social fear,
we should imagine, than through any
other single cause. Let their powers be
what they may. few men. be they labor
ers or princes. and no women can afford
to do without favor. How many people
with courage to anaiyse their own fail
ure must trace it to social fear? Can So
cial courage be cultivated? About as
much. we imagine. as courage in any
other form. Some men are born tinfid
and some fierce. some fearful and some
friendly. We can not alter our nature;
but, roughly speaking, the majority of
those who have undergone drill and dis
cipline not only do best at the moment
OF danger, but suffer least.

ELEVEN vERDIcTs A DAY.
How an English Jury Dispatches Its
Business.

rtOm UCOiuIt
The working Of the British jury sys-
tenn exhibits marked contrast with that
OF our own. 1t is possible that my OK
perience In British courts was exceptional,
but in not single instance did I see
q Juror challenged or rejected. In all Of
the courts requiring juries the necessary
were sworn In without question. In the
sherin's deputy court In Scotland the
presiding judge gave notice to the jury
that he expected to adjourn the court at
2 O'Clock, and stated that IL they could
all remain until that hour he would at
once dismiss the men who had been called
for q second panel. The jurors conferred
together to remain till 1 o'clock, where
upon the judge notified the other men to
appear at 1890. The one jury impaneled
for the morning session rendered six YER
diets In cases Involving prosecutions for
thefts. fraud and burglary.
In the court Of quarter sessions at
Taunton. England, saw a single jury in
one day render eleven verdicts. / found
that 1t was customary in the several sorts
Of court that attended for the same jury
to act In successive cases. In no instance
did see jury leave their seats to make
up their verdict. Usually the issue before
them was made so plain that all who gave
attention knew In advance what the deci-
sion would be, made note Of an excep-
tional instance Of delay. when the court
report Of the jury. In this case the Judge
who gave the instructions was himself In
doubt as to what the verdict ought to be-
"A Scottish jury consists of fifteen
persons, and majority may render a
verdict. In England the number is
twelve. and unanimity is required. But
l noted no difference as to practical
results In the two countries. The twelve
men in the English jury were as prompt
and certain In their action as were the
eight out OF fifteen in the Scottish jury.

A Royal Cellar.
From n. A. p.


Not many people are aware that the
huge vaults that extend under practically
the whole Of st. James Palace are util-
ICED for the storage OF the wine required
for the various royal residences, and there
Is very complete bottling establishment
there. The still wines for the kings
table. such a. hook. chabiis. port and
claret. are all bought in bulk, and after
being allowed to mature properly are
bottled there, and stored away until they
are required. In addition to Buckingham
Palace, Windsor Castle and Sandringham,
bottiing takes place here for Marlborough
House. Clarence House and other resi-
dences OF the different members Of the
royal family.
Large purchases Of wine are made every
year as opportunity offers. and experts
are constantly employed In travelling
about the vineyards Of the continent seek
ing suitable vintages. It will be crafty
ing to colonial cousins to learn that Of
recent years both the king and queen have
shown an Increasing liking for the light
wines Of Australia, and . large stock OF
these wines Is now maintained at st.
James Palace. All the wines bottled
carry plain white labels with the name OF
the wine and the vintage on them In gold
letters. surmounted by the royal crown.
