LIFE AND PROPERTY rI[Iti ATENb;A m TIU DANGERS: or TIIP 9 At this season of the year, when so -saiass. many people go tothe sea -coast and lake shore to escape the summer heat that is so general in the interior 'Country, attention is called to the provision made by the United States government for the preservation of life and property of those who do business on the great waters, The isicttrresque houses whietr are seat, ltered along the coast, and which ai'e the homes of life-saving crews, are visited by thousands of people each year, and a great deal of curiosity as well as of interest is evinced in the ] methods of work of these brave men, ,,/^ as well as in their modes of life, It may not occur to the average person who, perhaps, is accustomed to visit only one or two places on the extended coast -line of this country, how extensive the life-saving service is, and how large tLii amount of Money is expended each year by the general government in main- taining it. While the total expendi- ture amounts to nearly ono million dollars annually, still there is no one who is at all familiar with the perils of ocean travel that believes the pub- lie money is being expended in a too lavish manner in this particular at least. The steady growth of the service as an evidence that the representa- ' tives of the people in Congress as- sembled appreciate the importance ,and value of the work accomplished • by the hardy men who man our life - stations. It may, perhaps, be con- cluded that the provisions made for this service is hardly adequate, es- pecially when it is considered that the sea and lake coasts of the United States, exclusive of the coast of Alaska, have an extent of more than 10,000 miles..-•' To give succor to the vessels which may be tossed upon the rocks or stranded upon the shores of this extensive coast line, there are only 226 life-saving stations, 165 of which are on the shores of the Atlantio, 8 on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, 8 on the shores of the Pacific, and 45 on the shores of the Great Lakes. There is, besides, a station at the falls of the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky. The points selected for the lo- cation of a, station are those which are regarded, as the most dangerous, and where the vessels, especially those engaged in the coasting trade, are exposed to storms. In addition, houses ot refuge are erected at different points for the temporary shelter of those likely to need them. Such places are in charge of a keeper who is provided with a small boat. The regular life- saving stations are under the direc- tion of a keeper who receives a salary of $700 per year. Six men as a rule compose the regular crew of these stations, and during the most rigorous portion of the season an ad- ditioual pian is employed, They receive a compensation of per month during the active season, which on the .atlantic and Gulf a coasts extends from the first day of a September in each year until. the •first clay of the succeeding May- and r those dh the lase coasts from the a opening to the close of 'navigation. t Some of the stations on the Pacific fi Boast are kept open the year round. I3eyand the wages mentioned, the r surfinen, is the men at the stations c • are known, receive no allowance ex- 'ept the quarters and fuel provided t the Station. r" In case of disability `which con- f tinues for not inore than a year, the keeper or surfman is entitled to re- ceive full pay, and in case of death by reason of injury or disease in- ,eurred in the line of his duty, his' • sIviidow or children under sixteen i 11 ' ttei s of age may receive for two ��- ears the pay that the deceased ouid have if alive. - It During the season a day watch is intaincd as well as a night patrol, 'R on stated days the then aro re- I t ired to go through a boat and ap-; $ x atus drill in order tO keep the Mar with their duties,P ach station is provided with a life $ t which is known as the surf , S t, of which there 'Fare several Y 'egos in use.

Each station is provided with the facilities for caring for those who have been rescued, and a store of medicine as well as of clothes is kept on hand. Since the service was. put tato operation in its present form in 1871 to the close of the last year, there have been nearly 5,000 disasters,. the value of the property involved. being over .$81,000,000. Through the efficiency of theserviee over $60,- 000,000 of this property was saved, while of the 43,000 persons whose lives wore imperilled only 1505 were lost. During this period of twenty- four years tho eost of maintaining the service was a little over $11,000,- 000, Independent .Order of Foresters,, The Supreme Court of the above Order met in London, England, ' on the lst of August. Over 150 officers and representatives were present. All the Provinces of the Dominion, and some twenty of the States of the Union, and England, Wales, Scot- land, and Ireland were represented. The Supreme Chief Ranger's report stated that since the last meeting, two years ago, the membership • had increased over 30,000, being now 80,705. The surplus had increased by $036,000, and now stands at $1,- 361,890.72. The proportion per member has been steadily increasing and is now $6 per member more than it was five years ago, Refer- ence was made to the decision of the Supreme Executive to invest a portion of the surplus in the Foresters' Temple, which will in future be the headquarters of the Order. The Supreme Secretary, in his re- port, said that since the Chicago meeting, two years ago, the number of High Courts had increased from 21 to 28, and the number of Subor- dinate Courts from 1,130 to 2,100, and the membership from 50,847 to 80,765. The deaths during the past two, years have been 081. The amount paid in death and permanent disability claims in the past - two years is $609,317.87. The Sick and Funeral Benefit department showed marked prosperity, and in it are en- rolled about one-third df the mem- bership. During the past two years $101,118 had been. paid in -Sick and Funeral benefits, leaving the surplus to the credit of this department, on the 1st of July, $6`2,139. The Supreme Physician's report showed that for the eighteen months ending December 31st, 1894, the number of applications passed was 31,:570; for insurance amounting to 339,169,000. For the same period there had been rejected 2,073 ap- plications, representing insurance to the • amount of $2,883,500. The causes of releetion are given, the principal ones being history of con- umption, for which 613 were re- ected, and heart complications, for which 416 were rejeeted. Internper nee was the cause of the rejection of 70. The average age ofthe membcrsis nly34.82. The death rate has been cmarhably low, 5.47 per 1,000. In supplementary statement giving he result of the examinations for the rat six months of 1895, it appears that 10,835 examination papers were eviewed, of which 15,179 • were ac - opted, making a total for the two 'ears, of 51,941 applications received, f which 5,729 ere rejeetet, The following. officers aver•° elected or the ensuing term: S.

Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller eon- tributes to the August issue of the Chautauqua a charining article on Hospitality, in which she says; The essential elements of hospi- tality seem to be: Asound, simple, everyday life,, with no shams to bide, and no. pre- tences to keep up. That which makes hospitality a harden and not a deli;;ht, is the foolish vanity which wishes to ap- pear to share something better than it really has to divide., • Living in wholesome, comforta Style we are contented to offer O guests the entertainment we fi ample, but weary Ourselves and 1 all the real delight of companion in assuming for the time a roan of living far beyond our easy atta meet, We are not thinking of social element, but of the mere ternals of living, and derange t whole household machinery by tr to keep in motion half a doz new wheels, If we would make our everyday life more simple, and strip it of all pretence, it would leave us am leisure to let our hearts extend ward others, and then, if we woe pay our friends the usual comp meat of treating them as if th were attracted to us—and not to feasts and •flatteries --we night nza our homes centres• of a beautiful ho pitality that would be both restf and blessed. If one's life is frank and sincere that there is nothing to conceal; gracious manners and gentle cou testes are everyday wear and n simply holiday garb; if bright Lal and stimulating conversation ru the table instead of gossip and crit cism; if we are honestly 'seeking be rather than to seem, we sha not 'look with dread and terror upo the advent of guests, or exhaust on selves in our attempts to entertai thein, brf e T .se - .._ z� u a. ss sess4,-n-ss ,: The vacancy in the Seaforth Col- I r, .• nd legiate Institute stair has, been filled � '' 'l -by the ap ointment o 1 - r ,.

Insurance within proper bounds is good, but insurance run wild is one of the evils of our clay, and it is an evil With which we must grapple. When incendiarism and even murder are frequently -resorted to in order to obtain insurance money, too much care cannot be exercised by insurance companies in issuing policies. A young woman, who had never learned the art of cooking, being de- sirous of impressing her husband with her knowledge and diligence, managed to leave the kitchen door ajar on the day after their return from the bridal trip, and just as her lord comes in from the office, ex- claims, loudly ; Hurry up, Eliza ! Haven't you washed the lettuce yet? Here, give it to inc. Where is the soap? • A new process for the preservation of green fruit during railway transit has been invented by a Californian. It, consist in sterilizing the air in the car containing the fruit, and is said to be more economical than the present refrigerating system and much more successful. Ordinary cars can be fitted with the apparatus for the process at small expense,. while the expense of the process itself is said to be colnparativ'ely nothing compared with the refrigerating system. Mr. Saunders, director of the Ex- perimental Farm, who is BOW on the Pacific Coast, telegraphs: to the De- parttnent of Agriculture as follows: "The run of salmon on the Preset. River has been good, and even better than was anticipated, as this is con- sidered one of the 'oft' years. There is an immense hay erop in. British. Columbia,which is being well saved.

How often the remark, Oh, my head aches," and there aI a so many earl,: u,-, of aches and pains the head is subject to alt along the line from the dull and heavy and oppressed feeling over the eyes to the persistent, racking and torturing misery of Sick Headache. The cause is in most cases the same, the overflow of poisonous uric acid is not extracted from the blood by the Kidneys, and accumu- lating in the blood, causes high and irre- gular pulse, headaches, mental depres- sion and nausea. Chase's K. & L. Pills tone and restore the Kidneys, excrete poisonous matter from the blood, sending it on its way pure and health -giving, cur- ing Headache, and removing all the at- tending symptoms from its wake. Mrs. G. Bird, Harriston, Ont., while attending the 1894 Fall Exhibition at Toronto, was taken very i11 with Sick Headache and dizziness. She was subject to these at- tacks for years, compelling her to take to her bed, In this case by using Chase's Pills relief was immediately obtained, and the usual days of misery and pros- trationavoided. Thousands of such cases can be referred to where Chase's Pills have cured Sick Headache and its atten- dant symptoms. 25 cents a box, of all dealers, or by addressing Edrnansen, Bates & Co., 45 Lombard bt., 'Toronto.
