A DISAPPEARING CALLING X)ays of the Old Coast Guards Arc Passing The Ancient Institution is Gradually to Be Abolished in England Some Reminiscences ol the Days When Freer Smnggllng Gave It Great Importance. The recently made known proposal for the gradual abolJtion of the coast guard within the nest few years will, however gratifying to the economist, hardly be welcome to the seaside vis itor who has been wont to chat with some stalwart member of the force as he races the parade, tends the sunny garden that surround3 the whitewashed "station" house, or sits within his lookout bos perched high on some tall cliff above the Atlantic wavfs. Already steps in the direction of retrenchment have been taken; from some of the smaller stations the telescopes, axes and other "prop erties' have been withdrawn. The coast guard, as we know It, Is the remnant of a triple cordon ' which ones patrol! 2d the coast for the prevention of smuggling, says the London Globe. The inner line con sisted of a foro of "riding officers," originally established more than two centuries ago to suppress the illegal exportation of wood, whose subse quent duty was tha inspection of roads and lanes for several mile3 In land. Revenue cutters some of them fine vessels of 200 tons watched the seas; while the "pre ventive water guard" patrolled the coast. There was also during ths early years of the last century a spe cial forse known as the "coast block ade." This, commanded by lieuten ants of the navy, was manned at first from men-o'-war, later from the rev enue cutters and civil sources. It disappeared in 1SC1, its place being taken by the "preventive water guard," known since two years before as the "coast guard." The early members of the force were by no means the well set up men to whose appearance we are accus tomed at the present day. Tinkers, ranors, any landlubbers who could secure indirect in5uence with "My Lords" of the Treasury might hope for a berth. Not until 1S29 was a seagoing experience, or at leasi an apprenticeship on board a fishing boat, made an essential qualification.

But the force remained a branch of the customs until 1S57, when the customs flag wr.3 replaced by that of the na.vy. Thcj duties of the coasi guard in the days of smuggling were severe and often dangerous. The service was not looked upon with favor by the local population, and indeed where as in most coast villages the inhabitants were largely interest ed in the illicit trade, social inter course between them and the force was practically prohibited.

But -kl3 Germany the people eat dogs be cauSB r?f, mutton and poultry are very , " high. During theSTM'l 0C, says a writer In - Harper's Weekly, there were slaughtered for food in the Kingdom of Saxony (which constitutes one-thirty-sixth of the area and contains about one-thirteenth of the popula tion of the Empire) 12,922 horses and 3736 dogs. This is an increase year 1905. In all Germany, during the yeai 1906, there were slaughtered for food 182,000 horses. Thi3 is an increase of about 20,000 over 1905, and of about 47,000 over 1904. Complete figures are lacking In re gard to the slaughter of dogs for food in the German Empire, but frag mentary statistics indicate that the total number was about 7000 prob ably more, rather than less. in the city of Chemnitz alone G93 idogs were slaughtered in 1906, an in crease of eighty-eight over 1905, and during the same period 1070 horses, an increase of eighty-seven over 1905. Horseflesh is very generally adver tised in the German newspapers, es pecially in those of the large indus trial centres, and most German cities hav at least one market which makes it s. specialty, claiming for it a higher pa: .J!ntage of nourishment than that of either beef, veal, mutton or pork. Nfvther is it unusual to find adver , tisemsnts of dog meat or for the pur cbas? of dogs for slaughter. The Lady or the Tiger!

It is said on the authority of those versed ia statistics that there are to day 12,000,000 -pupils on the actual rolls of the Sanday-school3, and that they ira distributed among 154,000 schools and taught by 1,500,000 ti ,-.?i:ers- j the patrol than with a view to in suring his wakefulness, was the "don key" a small, flat board attached to 'a single leg, pretty much like a mod J em shooting stool. On this the j watchman could obtain some rest as i long as he maintained a careful bal jance; the briefest doze and conse quent loss of equilibrium would bring j man and "donkey" together to the ground. " ., The chief incentive to zeal in the ( service was not the pay, which was j far from high, but the prospect of the "rewards" for successful capture, ' This prize money sometimes amount- od to a thousand pounds for a single seizure, cf which sum the share of 'the station "boatman" the lowest ' rank in the service might be ninety ; rounds. A much appreciated addi J tion to these rates was the custom of I allowing a tub or two from every ' cargo of spirits captured for the use ' of the crew 4'to afford cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirits." j The tourist, had he then esisted, i would have found liis freedom much restricted by the regulations in force ' on the coast. "Whooping" orhalloo- j ing, or the showing of a light from , the shorj after dark was strictly for j bid den; for both might be signals to j some smuggling lugger ling off the I land. Any one "loitering" near the , shore was liable to be taken before a ' magistrate to give an account of him I self, and failing a satisfactory es ; planation he could be committed to j prison. In the ranks of the coast j guard itself there were black sheep. Chief officers were dismissed for do jing a little smuggling on their own f account or for "looking the other way" while a "run" was accom plished. So frequent did it at one tiui3 become for patrols to allow themselves to be "surprised" and bound cf course, for a "considera tion" that it was enacted that a lookout man who could not show am ple proofs of resistance should be held to have connived.' The men were armed with a cutlass, a pair of pistols and a blue light to give the alarm. As the discipline of the force im proved so also did the alertness of the smugglers increase. It was found necessary for the night patrols to wear plain clothes, while the look out roint3 had to be constantly changed and each man's place of duty only communicated to him at the very moment of his setting out. The not unnatural desire for some compan ionship in the lonely night wratches led to the keeping of too large a num ber of dogs about the stations. Don keys, supplied for carrying provis ions from the nearest towns, at times gave trouble; an official complaint i3 on record concerning the needless supply of beans for a "station" don key; the daily allowance of oats be ing at the same time censured as ex cessive! Desperate Remedies. IJy DON CAMERON SIIAFER. It was just before daybreak the darkest hour of the night. The shut ters of a third-story window in a large summer hotel noiselessly opened and a heavy object was cautiously lowered to the ground. A young man in fashionable clothes, gripping a heavy hand-bag in his teeth and an umbrella and a cane under his arm, slid hurriedly down the rope to the ground. With nervous fingers he untied hiK'-itcase, tiptoed out of the yard, and" started at a trot across lots to the station a mile and a half away. The first golden beams were danc ing across the eastern hills as the young man neared the depot. The sleeper whistled sharply for the sta tion and he quickened his pace into a mad run, heedless of his aching arms and the Eand in hi3 low shoes. "It's a bad getaway," muttered the 3'oung man three minutes later in the smoker as he wiped his steaming face, "but my bills are all paid. I left tips for the servants and a hur ried note explaining that an uncle had died in Honduras or some other place. It certainly was a desperate chance, but the only means I could think of to get away from that straw ride the girls have planned for to morrow." From Judge. Of Course. "And the streets are paved with real gold, and there will be music and flowers, and everything will be beau tiful!" finished the Sunday-school teacher, who was telling her small charges of Heaven.

Appreciation should be a stimulant, not a sedative. But do not let your Felf be spoiled by words of praise. If some one tells you that you have talent, do not conclude that it will not be necessary for you to work any longer. We do not think much of goods which fade when exposed to the sunlight. There is a fatal lack in the character which is spoiled in stead of inspired by appreciation.- Home Chat. ADVISES WOMEN TO STRIKE. Women were advised by Mrs. Flor ence Richards, of Ohio, in an address at the Lincoln Temperance Chau tauqua in Austin, 111., to go on strike until they are permitted to vote. "If -.we refused to do the house work and take care of the children," said Mrs. Richards, "we would be led -lo the polling places on our hub bies' arms before a month. Then th'e Ealcon doors will cease to swing. No man wants to cook and do housework, and a universal strike will bring them to time." SHE FOUGHT THE SIOUX. Mrs. Margaret K. Horn, of Indiana, has obtained a pension of $24 a month from Congress in recognition of her services during the war with the Sioux Indians. A pension bill was under consideration awardins: her $16 a month as the widow of aj war veteran. In the debate it was brought out that Mrs. Horn had per sonally rendered tho Government good service, for while her husband was at the front during the Civil War she herself in IS 62 fought against the Sioux Indians, being one of the besieged at Fort Ridgely, Mnn. Because of this service her pension was raised to $24. New York Sun. RIGHT TO VOTE. The Iowa Supreme Court has hand ed down a decision which invalidates a city election in Des Moine3 because women were not allowed to vote, in- Orange Spor.ge.

When beginning to thicken add the juice of one lemon, onecupful of orange juice and beat until frothy. Add the stiffly whipped whites of four eggs, and continue to beat until stiff and spongy.

There is a statute in Iowa permitting women to vote in local election on the issue of bonds or the levying of a special ta for improvements. The question submitted to the voters was, "Shall the city of Des Moines erect a city hall, at a cost not exceeding $350,- 000?" Des Moines city officials re fused to receive the ballots of women, and a committee of women, headed by Mr3. Mary Coggeshall, a woman of prominence, appealed to the courts. The lower court decided against them, but the Supreme Court, in a decision written by Justice S. M. Ladd, re versed the deeision. Miss Grace Bal- lantyne was attorney for the women. Another election must be held. Among other things, the decision stated that "it partook of the nature of oppression, in the judgment of the Court, when the whole City Hall co operated to deny to women the right to vote." New York Tribune. TWO RARE WOMEN. The few brilliant years the Cur zons spent in India are too recent and too familiar in people's minds for me to dwell on that time or the tragedy which was so soon to follow their departure. To her great beauty Mary Curzon added grace of manner and kindness of heart, and her extraordi nary and unselfish devotion to her husband made her a paragon among wives. I recall one other remarka ble woman, who was equally devoted and absorbed in her husband's career, and whose life was one of sacrifice to duty and care of others. This was my sister-in-law, Fanny, Lady Tweed mouth, without exception the noblest character 1 have ever met. Apart from her brilliant gifts, which made her one of the most popular and in fluential political hostesses in Eng land, her sympathy and advice were a tower of strength to all who came in contact with her. Indeed, it may be said with truth that society in gen eral, and the Liberal party in partic ular, eustained an irreparable loss when her too short life ended. From "The Reminiscences of Lady llandolph Churchill," in the Century. SPREADING TEMPERANCE. With astonishing rapidity the fight igainst the sale of intoxicating liquor is sweeping over the country, say3 the Delineator. In the South, State after state" has enacted laws absolutely posing all the saloons within its bor lers. After January 1, 1909, there will not be a legal saloon in Georgia, ilabama, Mississippi or Oklahoma; N'orth Carolina may alm be dry by :hat time: half of South Carolina, a large part of Florida, all but four, THEIR .raSHIONK WORKl ART, cities in Tennessee, and nearly all ot Kentucky are In the same situation. Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are moving in the same direction. Ohio is tending toward State prohibition, Indiana has taken steps toward it, and each new election sees more townships in Illinois shifted to the "dry column." In other States the struggle is not yet so successful, but already half the people and two thirds of the territory of th'e United States are embraced in the now rap idly growing prohibition districts. In this struggle women have taken a remarkable part, and they are reaping a remarkable reward. This is a new form of campaign, and it is different. There has .been little or no hysterical agitation, but rather prosaic comparison of figures to show how much better off the dry States are than the wet. And the women, to whom prohibition means Infinitely more than to the men, have furnished what excitement was necessary, by flocking about the polls serving tem perance' drinks to the voters, and en deavoring to convince them that a vote against the saloon is a vote for the; home, and perhaps, most of all, for the clean administration of the public schools. They have had to present figures, too. Saloon men have shown the amount of tares paid, al most fabulous millions every year by the manufacturers, the whole salers and the retailers" of drink. They have piled up the totals of corn and rye and rice consumed in the factories, and computed how many men were employed. But the women have shown that every dollar so spent is only a tithe of the rmount that the men pass in over the counter for drinks which net them nothing at all; that out of $10 which leaves the home for this useless thing only thir ty or forty cents eventually reaches the public treasury in license and tar, and even less goes to the grain producer; and that each drinker. could better afford to pay his share of the liquor tax out of his pocket, chip into a fund for grain production, and keep the rest to use in buying useful things for his home in such a way as to give more and more useful employment to his fellows and at the same time improve his own condition in life. Very smart coats are made from strips of insertion lace. Dutch, English and French designs are noted among the fashionable hats. A touch of black satin and a bit of color about the neck is all that is necessary. Into the handsome silk on rich gowns metallic threads are usually introduced. Tan linen will be quite as smrt looking for a wrap if the silk i3 con sidered too expensive. A handsome gown of white filet net has a tunic skirt, the tunic pointed at the sides and wide apart at the front. Pale green is one of the favorite shades for gowns. Pale blue and the geranium reds are also in great re quest. Was the separate wrap that con venient, garment fever before made in such a variety of different models and materials? Even petticoats claim satin for their own. This is because the vogue of the clinging gown renders taffeta inappropriate. Tassels are often seen on silk and dressy gowns of other fabrics, but it is predicted that balls as a trimming will supersede them. Coats often extend to the hems of the skirt3 and are open back and front to show the skirt and produce a long unbroken line at those points. White is made up over tissues for handsome dance gowns. The tissue is often repeated in the girdle and sometimes in a band at the hem of the skirt The rajahs and pongees make up into smart and practical wraps for general wear, but as pongee crushes so easily the rajah is perhaps the bet ter choice. Linen coats are worn not only in white and tan, but in the brighter colors, as old rose, dull blue, buff and light green. Cretonne, as a rule, is chosen as a trimming to the new est linen coats. Bertha and suspenders cut in one are an attractive feature of a dress. The suspenders are joined by . four horizontal straps with buttons at each end, and the bertha extends over the shoulders in points or squara taU. INTFttNATION All LESSON COM MENTS FOR NOVEMBER 8. Subject: David Grlevcj For Absalom, 3 Samuel 18 Golden Text, . Prov. 17:25 Commit Verse 23 Commentary. TIME. 1022 B. C. PLACE. Mahanalm. EXPOSITION. T. Tidings of Vic tory, 24-31. It will not do in teach ing this lesson to confine oneself to the verses assigned. Absalom had laid his plans with great shrewdness and skill. But he had left God out in all his calculations (ch. 17:14, R. V.). That omission was fatal. It was in answer to David's prayer that God "had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahlthophel" (cf. 2 Sam 15:31). Hushai had appealed suc cessfully to the vanity of Absalom in his attempt to overthrow Ahlthophel's counsel (ch. 17:11). In this time of seeming general defection from David there were really many who stood by him still (ch. 15:19-21, 32-37; 17:17, 18-20. 27:29; 18:3). At last a for midable army had rallied .to his sup port (ch. 18:1, 2). David's chief concern was about Absalom;" and his parting word to his generals was to deal gewtly with him (v. 5). The overwhelming victory which was the result of the battle is a type of the overwhelming final victory that shall end our David's conflicts with His foes (Rev. 19:11-21; 2 Thess. 2:8). More people of David's enemies were destroyed by the hand of God in this battle than by the hand of David's soldiers (v. 8; cf. Judges 5:20, 21). Absalom had longed to meet the ser vants of David, but when he met them it was to his dismay and ruin (v. 9). Absalom was not now riding in a chariot with horse and fifty men to run before him (cf. ch. 15:1), but on a mule with his men running away from him. It was an appropriate end for Absalom that he should be hanged (De. 21:23; cf. De. 27:16, 20). We all deserve to be hanged, as for that matter (Gal. 3:10). The only thing that saves us from it is that an other was hanged in our place (Gal. 3:13). The destiny of all who treat their parents as Absalom treated his father will be like to Absalom's (Prov. 20:2:0, R. V.). Absalom was deserted by all at the last, even "the mule that was under him went away." Absalom paid dearly for the injury that he had done Joab at an earlier day (ch. 14:29, 30). Joab was a vengeful man, and, had been waiting all these years to get even. All our mean treatment4 of others is likely to come back some day upon our own heads with compound Interest. How the heart of David trembled when he was told that a man was coming run ning. He knew that he had tidings, but what kind of tidings? Then when another appeared in the distance the heart of David beat faster than ever. Then when he was told that It was Ahlmaaz, and he was sure that it was good tidings that he brought, fear for Absalom filled his heart. Poor David! Sin is awful costly! The first word of Ahlmaaz to David was "Peace" (R. V. Marg. v. 28). That is the message that the gospel brings to every contrite sinner (Ro. 10:15). Ahlmaaz bowing himself before the king with his face to the earth (v. 28, R. V.). It was not only In honor to the king, but also in worship of God, whom he immediately proceeds to bless. But before our .David every knee shall bow, and every tongue con fess (Phil. 2:10, 11). Ahlmaaz as cribed all the glory for the victory to Him to whom it belonged (cf. Gen. 14:20; Ps. 115:1; 144:1, 2; Rev. 19:1-3). It was Jehovah, and Jeho vah alone, who had delivered up David's enemies. And it is He, and He alone, who delivers up ours. But David had but one thought, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ah, David, you should have thought of that years ago, when you took that awful step that plunged Absalom into eternal ruin. Most fathers think of the safety of their sons too late. Ahlmaaz avoided the question, but his answer was ominous. David felt that. The Cushite, too, ascribed all the vic tory to God. So did David himself (ch. 22:48, 49; Ps. 124:2, 3). Ven geance belongoth to God, and He had avenged David on all those that rose up against him (cf. De. 32:35, 36; Ps. 94:1; Ro. 12:19). II. David's Overwhelming Grief Over Absalom, 32, 33. This is one of th9 saddest scenes in all history, and one of the most Instructive. David's first question of the Cushite, as of Ahimaaz, was, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" The Cushite's an swer was not direct, but it was none the less unmistakeable. In an instant David knows that Absalom is dead, and he knows that the ultimate re sponsibility for the ruin of the son of his love rests upon himself. Who can measure the agony of the father who looks upon the temporal and eternal ruin of his son, and knows that he is himself to blame for it all? That is an agony that every fathe'r who wan ders into sin may expect to face. The enemies of our David will ultimately all be as that young man was. David's sin was no sufficient excuse for Absa lom. He had brought ruin upon his own head. Our David too sorrows over the ruin of His bitterest foes (Lu. 19:41, 42). David said of Absa lom, "Would God I had died for thee." Christ did die for His enemies. David seems to have never recovered from this sorrow. All over these chapters is written in large letters, "WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP." To provide a margin of safety 'for this country would require only a tithe of the self-denial practised in French homes, moralizes the New York World. American women have had their full share of American pros perity. No appeal they have made to their husbands' purss has been refused. As the chief beneficiaries of that prosperity they should do their part to put a stop to the money waste which is endangectofi its con tlfiuance. SCZKUA CUIIKD. J. II.
