 The United States revenue cutter service has had most interesting history. After the freedom of the American colonies had been through the Revolutionary war. the country returned to peace basis and the continental navy dis banded. From that time forward there was force available for the protection of the coasts and the maritime interests of the republic until there came a response to q longfet want the organization of the revenue cutter service This WAS enc of the acts of first congress- President George Washington signed the act in August, I790 and within little more than year ten vessels were ready for duty Thereafter for a period of nearly seven years the little fleet formed the only armed force a1oat flying the stars and stripes and the ships were constantly engaged in patroling tho coastne of the country and enforcing it's maritime laws. The first op- pontuents of officers in the revenue cutter ice were made from among those who had served fin the continental navy and since that time many men who prepared themselves for naval Ice have amended their life plans to the extent of taking commissions in the maritime police force.
 The WCrR or the revenue cutter service de- fined by tho various laws which have been en- acted on the subject. consists in the enforcement of almost every statute bearing upon the maritime interests of the nation At the head of the cate gery cones, of course the protection of the GUS toms revenue and f smuggling In any form Is suspected the revenue cutter officers have the right of search Of all merchant vessels arriving within or near the United States or bound for an American port The suppression of piracy is net heavy responsibility any more but the search for wrecked and missing yesse's is a reSponsi- biiity which has expanded the other has con tracted The enforcement of tho neutrality laws is always something Of choVe, thanks to the South and Central American revolutions that are matched in the United States Another important task Is found in the enforcement of law and the protection of property in Alaska, Including the protection of the seal and other fisheries in Alas kan water-a form of oceanic patrong which has been productive of many exciting episodes in cent years
 The suppression of mutiny is another duty dele gated to Uncle Sams police of the sen, but tneers alike to pirates have become rather scarce fin the neighborhood Of Uncle Sans domains in late years.

 Commissioned officers of the United States reve- me cutter service have rank with the officers Of the army and navy and receive the same benetts of retirement as are accorded these officers. The officers trained for the service at the revenue cutter cadet school, located at New London, Conn Young men enter at any age between eighteen and twentyfoar, and In addition to exactions in book learning must undergo a military and nautical training that in some respects is more ardu- than that given at Uncle Sans big academies Annapolis and West Point Of course the classes al the cadet school are comparatively small sometimes there are not more than two dozen embryo officers enrolled the institution but this is 10 be expected, for the revenue cutter service does not need the great numbers of officers re- quired for rapidly growing navy. Indeed there are less than three hundred commissioned officers on the revenue cutter roster. where the warrant officers and enlisted men will probably not total more than fifteen hundred. although Uncle Sam is constantly adding to his fleet of revenue cutters. and this expansion is reflected in the active list

CBy WALTER B. LEUTZ.)


 Ground hogs may be poisoned With wheat soaked in a solution of strych- nine, but they can easily be trapped at the entrance of their burrows. A better way is to soak bit of moss or hay with bisulphate of carbon and place it well down into the burroW covering the entrance with a heavy cloth. The carbon being heavier than air it penetrates to the bottom of the burrow and kills the animals IT. stantly Great care in handling bisulphate of carbon must be observed because it is a deadly poison anu must never he inhaled The polllo containing it should be kept tlgnu' eorked until the moment it Is to Ve used.

 Persons who bear in mind the principal events of the SpanishAmerican will recall that the revenue cutters with their officers and men played an important part in the defense of the country during that conflict But this was no in- noyation. In the preceding wars in which this nation engaged the revenue cutter service al ways had hand, and, indeed there is standing arrangement whereby. in the event of war. the police of the sea cooperate with the navy It is question after all however whether the great est victories of the revenue cutter service have not been won in times of peace Take.
