A New York World reporter tramped nereis the sands of Long leach, J.. I., (he other day and made a call on Captain Van AVicklin, who is in command of Station 83, with watchful eye to the wind for the slight est signs of an approaching storm. Like his brother surfmen along the coast, Captain Van AVicklin was ready to repeat the story of how wrecked mariners are brought safely to shore and pointed out the value of this and that ingenious contrivance with tho enthu siasm of a boy at a circus. To pive a practical demonstration of the efficiency of his littlo command (he Captain called his men into the drill-room and informed the.in that he would show how lives arc saved by means of the breeches buoy. Of course, as there was no wrecked ship to fasten the line to, the demonstration was mado on land. The station flag jiole, which stands about one hundred yards from the station on a sand hill, was to be the ship in distress for the oc casion. One of the crew was sent to the flag io!e, and from that point shot off a small cannon as a signal of distress. A ipiick order from Captain Van AVicklin, and the next moment the crew were hauling hc carriage containing the appurten ances the breeches buoy over the sand nt n great rate. At the top of (he knoll they' stopped, and in accordance with orders piled the ropes and Lyle guu on the sand in position ready for use. A charge of giant powder was hastily rammed into the gun, and ou top of this was placed a heavy bar of steel, at one end of which was fastened a long piece of neatly coiled rope. AYhile (he Captain was preparing (he charge and aiming (he gun for (he flag pole, as the imaginary ship, the other members of the crew were burying in tho sand two heavy cross-beams to which the pulleys and heavy ropes were attached. "Stand ready!" cried the Captain. The crew immediately took their positions at the ropes, nnd a second later oft went I the oar ol sleel through the air like a rocket, taking with it the rapidly uncoil ing line. The Captain'saim was n good one, for a second later (ha "shipwrecked sailor-' was hauling in the big rope, which had now been attached to the first Hue. When he took hold of the big rope, he found a black hoard tied to it with the following instructions paiuted iu white letters: "Make this hawser fast about two feet above the tart block. Sec (hat nil is clear, and that the block runs free ami show sigual to the shore." The sailor fastened tho rope as he was told, and showed the signal. The crew then hoisted a huge prop like a tent-pole under the rope about ten feet from where . it was fastened in the sand. In the meantime the light liue had been run out again by a series of pulleys, and when it had completed the circuit the breeches buoy was attached nnd quickly sent to ward the sailor over the imaginary wave. The sailor, who had fastened the rope about eight feet up the pole, climbed into buoy, and with onrush aud a hurrah the crew brought him safe to shore. "Every man in the crew," said Captain Van AVicklin, "has a regular position and a special duty to perforin, and that alone he is required to do, unless an emergency requires his services elsewhere." The life-car is another adjunct, and a valuable one, to the saving of life. It is an inclosed boat, built of thin sheet iron, about ten feet long, and pointed at both ends. At the top of the car is a small trap door, which is just large enough to admit the passage of a medium-sized mau. At each eud are two iron rings through which the ropes are rim and the rigging from the shore to the ship is tho same as that used with the breeches buoy. The car is only used wheu the surf is too high for both the breeches .buoy and the life-boat, and when the ship is liable to go to pieces at any mo ment. The car will accommodate six or eight person?, while tho buoy only carries one nt a time. It has been used with great success iu a high sea, as the men at the oars are protected from the waves. The single passenger iu the buoy often goes under a heavy wave,and iu one case ' ou the coast near Maine a man being res-, cued in this way was drowned before he, could be hauled ashore. After thc ropes and the buoy were run back to the statiou tho order was given for practice with the life-boat. The men stood at the ropes and at the proper order out of the Htation they rushed with the boats ou its carriage. A stiff pull of nearly 200 yards brought them to the water's edge, where the wheels were unlocked and taken apart, letting tho boat fall gently on the sand with her nose pointing toward the sea. Kach man then buckled around his waist a huge cork life-preserver, and lay ing his oar along the gunwale, took his stand near his seat. At another order the boat was pushed through the sand until htr uose just touched the retreating wave. "Do you want to get wet?" asked Cap tain Van AVickleu, of the reporter, who agreed to take a ducking for the sake of u trip through the surf. Km h of the crew had on a suit of heavy oil clothes and wore a big ' Wwesler," which reached two feet down his back. There thev stood, al most motionless at their positions, the - tjutaiu at the stern, waitiug for a favor able moment. "Stand by," cried Captain Van AVick leu, and iu a second the boat was being hhoved through the shallow water. Whin the crew were knee-deep in the bubbling surf, they were ordered aboard, and aboard (hey went iu a hurry. Kach man sprang to his scat and it was but the "work of an instant to grap the oar ami run it through the rowlock. The Cap tain in the meantime had jumped to his seat at the stern next to the reporter, and had run out a big oar which he used us a rudder. The boat was carried' swiftly out by the receding wave, biu not far enough for comfort, for the next wave broke over the bow, drenching everyone of the crew. The ours were then plied with a will, and iu a short time the boat was riding the waves like a feather, half a mile from shore. After a twenty min utes' drill iu (iaistu:iuhip the order was was given to put about for shore. ) lieu die i n w were about ouo hun dred yards from the bench, the CApUtr),' w ho had been "keeping an eye out behind for some time, suddenly cried : "laytoI doudlo quick," as huge roller struck the stern or (ho boat. Tho crew im mediately bent over their oars at the top of their strength, and tho speed, sud denly increased, had tho desired effect. The boat rested easily on top of t he wave and went "rushing toward shoro like a race-horse. The oars were shipped and every man was in readiness for a quick jump. Just before the shore was reached the boat seemed to slide a little ahead of the breaker, and as the keel struck the sand (he wave broke with a roar over the s(ern, ccmple(ely drenching (he reporter nnd (lie Captain. In an instant the men were on their feet nt each side of the boat, and up the beach she was dragged before the next wave could reach her. The life belts, which had only been used for practice, were taken off and the boat rolled back to her place in (he station. The men at one began to clean up tho boat and the apparatus belonging (o the breeches buoy, while the Captain invited the reporter into (he kitchen (o dry his clothes. "After every return to the station," said he, "everything has (o be tlior oughly cleaned before anything else is done." 'AVhat's your daily routine?" asked the reporter, as he placed his shoes by the stove and hung his coat over a chair. "There nre four watches every night," explained Captain Van AA'icklen. "Two men in each watch, which exactly make up the number of the crew. One mau . oes cast about two miles until he meets the western watch from the Point Look out statiou. They exchange checks, which have to be examined and found correct upon their return to their re spective stations. The other watch goes west two miles to what we call the Key Tost station. He carries an indicator with him, which runs by clockwork. At the time he is supposed (o be at. this station he must make an indentation in (he indicator with a key which is always kept nt the Key Tost station, situated next to the Long Beach Hotel. He can not exchange checks with the watch from another station, as on this sido the next crew are situated eleven miles away, which is quite too long for a patrol 'These two systems are only used to compel the men to go tho entire length of the patrol each night, no matter what the state of the weather. "The first watch goes out at 4 o'clock, which is called the 'sunset watch.' These men are relieved at o o ciock ay two more of the crew, who arc iu turn re lieved at 12 o'clock. The 'sunrise watch' then goes out aud stays until 4 o'clock in the morning. "Tho crew are required to report for duty on the first day of September nnd stay until the last day of April, eight months iu nil.

The Mocking Birds of Ynseinito. Few of those who have Bojourned even j quite a long time in Yoseniitc vnlley are aware that it is filled with myriads ol mocking birds, the other sights and sounds overpowering all else, and be side, the birds make their haunts as fai as possible from the places where th travelers go. The writer of this was in that wonderful valley aud was invited to make ouo of a quiet party and ride down to the Bridal Veil falls. The stream that fell from that sublime cliff was thin and transparent, and looked a little thing from that awful height seen through this natural rift in the trees which made a fitting frame for so grand a picture. The thundering of the water into that seething caldron ceased, aud we looked to sec where it had gone. The wind had swept that floating, misty veil aside and dashed the bright drops against the mighty sides of the mountain, where it nourished millions of beautiful flowers, aud the misty veil swayed and swept in n rainbow arch far aside, and silence reigned unbroken for one moment, and then burst forth the soug of the mocking birds in tho treef, the bushes, the air, until the whole forest pulsated iu unison with their soug. Millions of brown coated birds there were everywhere, until the whole of out very natures seemed permeated with theii music, jpf Sometimes low and sweet, again sad and plaintive, and then full, rich and triumphant like a paan of joy and glad ness, while we looked at each other in wondering silence. Just as it seemed that tho melody was unsuppqrtably sweet, and that our hearts co.ilil not contain more without the relief of tears or shouts, the wind died away and the water again struck with au awsome roar into its rocky hollow with a force that made the earth tremble, aud was again lushed to furious foam and the song of the mocking birds hushed. Thus it goes ou ever and ever, alternately, and has for ages, the song of the birds and tho thunderous reverbera tion of the cataract. I'tiea Observer. M at in the Sun AVork. One of the most notable inventions displayed at the l'uris Exhibition was an apparatus for transforming the heat of the sun into motive power for pumping water and other mechanical uses. It is the device of a French inventor named Charles Tellier. This apparatus is of great interest as foreshadowing thc time wheu solar heat, iu combination with electric transmission of force, will lie made to furnish motive power for all engines nnd take the place of coal and steam, a change which will vastly cheapen manufactures and travel and greatly enhance human comfort the world over. The heat which comes to the earth in tho sun's beams is, ai has long been known, the equivalent of one to five or morn horse power for every square yard of the earth's surface, according to the latitude and the season of the year. The utilization o" this waste heat, its conver sion into usable power, has been the study of inventors, aud much time am great sums of money have been spent upou it. M. Tellier's coutrivauce aims to accomplish this object. Bismarck's Advice to His Sou. Besides singing an American song to the phonograph w hen it was exhibited to lam at b riedrichsruhe the other duy I'rlnce Bismarck sent the followiug lues sage to his son: "Be moderate in work moderate iu ealing, mid also somewhat (uuvli etwas) moderate in drinking this is thc advice of a father to his sou," THE FAiRM AND GARflUt. tIKCOKn BLOSSOMING Or" THKBS. Fruit trees that havo had a portion of their leaves destroyed sometimes start in the fall the leaves that should appear tho following spring, and with them the bios-: oras of fruit buds have formed. Cherry trees too roughly handled wheu cherries were picked arc the most frequent exam-1 pies of this second blossoming freak, though sometime branches of apple, pear and plum are affected in this way. The branches that thus blossom prematurely' do not bear the following season. It is not good for the tree to have it regular habits thus disarranged. Sometimes green shoots put forth with (he blossoms, and are killed by the cold of winter, and this more or less injures the vitality of tho tree. American Cnltimitr. PFXtOATR DAIRYING. No matter how pure (he dairy is kept, or how carefully (ho milk is strained, to secure absolute cleanliness it is necessary to strain the cream. Use a large square of linen cheese-cloth. It will catch tho hair from the cow, or the tiny speck which occasionally gets in the milk whilo set cooling. Straining tho cream makes it smooth, and seems to facilitate churning. If the churn is a kind which canuot be set in ice-water, and it is necessary to use ice to change the temperature, tic the ice in a thin piece of cloth before putting it into thechurn. This will keep the grains; of sand or other impurity fror.cn iu tho ico from getting in tho butter. Having thus secured clean, firm butter, work it well, adding a littlo sugar to the salt, and then pack in new stone jars and de posit in the cold-storage rooms where ice is manufactured, until such time as needed for home consumption, or when there is a market demand at good price. Al ways make brine, when possible, of dis tilled water. If there is no ice manu factured near, where the price for storage1 is a mere trifle, tho next best plan is to dig holes, deeper than tho butter-jars, in; one corner of a cool, clean cellar, and bury the butter until cold weather or suchi time as the butter is needed. STORING VEGETABLES. A little freezing will not hurt cab-i v m , i .1 ,11 oago. To bo kep; properly they should! be i kept as cool as possible without freez- mg or, at least, without mucu Ircezing, for they need some ventilation. Many g or, at least, without much freezing, ' judicious handlers simply pile their cab- j bages away in cellars without any other J protection; some put them in racks or open frames, reaching from tho floor to roof of cellar, so that the air cau circu- , late about them freely. AVhcn put up in this way they are cutoff at the middle of the stalks aud stripped of thc loose out- sido leaves. Some gardeners pack them away in broad, shallow pits, covering first with straw or hay, then with earth, till secured against freezing that is, toe ' much or hard freezing. . AA o ourselves, however, practico a simpler method still, and which wo find answers well. Take the cabbages up, ' roots and all, and pile them just any where on the ground without nuy exca- 1 vation where they grew, and where water! does not stand; pack them closely to gether, tops turned down on the ground or even slightly upon one another as to that matter, the roots standing above,, and if desired, extend in long, narrow rows or put into broad beds, then a light covering of straw, where it is pre ferred, may be put on we, however, dispense with it but cover with tho clean, fresh earth that lies at hand, and our cabbages come from this dirt cover-: ing firm, crisp aud bleached white and tender as celery. Of course it must be understood that in all these out of door storing the cabbages are to be taken up by the roots and tho leaves, except de-' caved ones, left on. Celery may be similarly treated. For familv use A verv crod wav to store them is to stow the roots compactly in deep,' o "-v . narrow trenches on rising ground in the garden. Muke tho trench the width of the spade and deep enough to nearly take in the entire pliruts, roots and all,! the tops remaining just above tne suriaee. Take up the plants, leaving some earth adhering to the roots, and put them idosely together in the trench. Slope, he earth from the edges of the trench so hat the water will flow from it. A emporary covering of hoards should boi placed over the trench to keep out rain and snow. And as the severity of winter approaches cover, over the roof well withi straw. So stored, it is an easy matter to open at either end of the trench and take out a supply and again replace the cover.' Or, if it is preferred, celery may be kept in deep, narrow boxes, the plants put into them firmly, as directed for (he trench, and tho boxes stored in the cellar. Iu putting away in this manner keep con siderable soil about the roots (hat tho plants may commence growing, and then blanching takes place. On the other hand, if there be not enough soil about the roots to promote growth, there will follow a gradual withering of the stalks,' Beets, carrots and turnips can be safely kept in cellars or iu mounds in the open' air, as they can be so well covered with' straw and earth that frost cannot reach them, and if it should it would thaw out gradually with but little, if any injury. ! Dig the roots carefully and cleanse1 them, and let them dry in the shade,, throwing out all imperfect or decayed roots when storing. AV'e find that they! keep very well pilod up in cone shaped' mounds, without sand or dirt used as be-1 tween layers; then cover with dry straw, then with earth till secured against freez ing. Then over all put a shelter of boards. Even where there arc ecllars for storing such products it is in some re-1 spects better to pile them out doors and cover with fresh earth; it prevents wilt ing and keeps them plump and fresh.' Indeed, all roots and tubers preservcj their natural taste and freshness much; better if covereil with earth than if ex-1 posed to a drying atmosphere. As to storing apples, we put boxes , common goods boxes will do of one size, into others of a little larger size, filling' the space between them with dry dirt, or' anything that will senfe to keep out frost. Then sort the apples well, handling care fully, aud put them iuto the inner boxes, which we liue with old papers, if new piuo boxes, to prevent tainting the apples with a piuey odor, then cover with anything that will serve to keep the apples from freezing. AVo find, how ever, fewer decayed apples in our bins wheu we go to the additional trouble of setting up in the middle of the boxes a: frame of slats nailed together, by which the apples are ventilated and better pre-j served. The methods here pointed outt are simple aud convenient, and are! adapted to the wants of most families: where more expensive nrrangemeuts arel inexpedient or not necessary.

TWAIN AOR IN T1IR FALL. 4- ' . i It is not good economy to allow water to s(and uKin growing crops, meadows, (orchards or land intended for spring jcrops. This is rather worse in what. may jbe termed the winter months than in the jsumrucr. And trees or plant in the orchard or small fruit plot are seriously injured if not killed outright by rare ;iesness in allowing water to stand around them during (he winter, ofticn freezing 'wp and forming a cont of ire over the soil and roots. Ornss both in tJie pastures and meadows is often entirely killed out ;by a failure to provide sutKcient-drainagc 'to get rid of the surplus water. With the cultivated fields it is. nearly always an item to get the greatenportion of them properly fitted for tho-soil as' jrarly in the spring as the soil can be worked into a good condition. Fall plowing is one valuable assistant Jn (his work, yet it is impossible to fully derive all the benefits of fall plowing un less good drainage is provided. AVith jtho surface wafer out of tho way fall plowed land will dry out and work up much earlier than if this is neglected, so that if earliness is an item with the crops arg should be taken to sec that it is pro vided. ; The work should be done in the full be fore the grouud freezes. In planuing the work caro should be taken to avoid washing as much as possible. There is, of course, a considerable difference in land in this respect, as some is much imore easily damaged than others. AVhcn the land is broken and is easily washed the furrows or ditches should be suf ficiently winding to allow a gradual descent.

A littlo time spent in a careful survey of thc field will not only lessen the work but secure better results. Securing good outlets is necessary so that the water can flow off easily, and the furrows should bo mado cleau so that they will not b3 easily ob structed. By doing tho work in the fall, whether the land is plowed or not, will" be found quite an advantage in the spring so far as the work if concerned, but the damage to land will also bo avoided. Moisture is an essential item in plant growth, but an excess of moisture is as detrimental both to the soil and the crops as a deficiency, while with a little I rare at the proper time a good share of , the damage cau be avoided if good drain- Bge ts given.

Spent tan bark is an excellent mulch for fall set cuttings of currants, grapes, Ictc. Burn at once all piles of brush, weeds and other stuff which afford a harbor for ,o,. Poultry growiug on tho farm is as a rule more profitable than wheu it is mado a specialty. It is suggested that cold stables may be cheaply made warmer by liniug them wi(h building paper. Let the white clover como in. It ihickens the bottom grass and is good food for most animals. If meadows are to be top dressed with manure there is no other time so favor able as late autumn and early wiuter. All tho rules for feeding cows and car ing for them are profitless, except as they are accompanied iu practice by kind treatment. Season the feed of chickens and all 'other fowls with salt. It is a preventive of disease and is good for the entire an imal creation. A stiff brush in the stable, judiciously used on farm horses, is a good deal bet ter than a horse doctor, and not so costly or uncertain. AVheat straw makes a good mulch, but not better thau many other things. AVheat laud would not so soon bo exhausted if the straw were returned to it as a mulch. He who makes the greatest success at fewine growing is oue who commenced in a small way aud works to greater num bers as he learns to breed, grow and feed. Good couutry roads may be regarded as one of the highest evidences of civil ization, but this evidence is not found in such abundance as to become tiresome to dwellers on the western continent. It may cost less to buy cows than to raise them on the farm, nevertheless, it is better to raise them, for then one may know what they are, aud they will do better, too, than cows shifted from place to place. A pig that is stunted in the early days or weeks of its life should never have a place iu the breeding herd. If used iu the herd it is to be expected that the off spring will inherit some of the unthrifti ness caused in the parent by Btuuting. If a meadow is to be preserved many years cattle must not bo permitted to graze it at auy time of year, except it be giveu up occasionally a full season to grazing, aud then uo hoof should be ah lowed upou it when the soil is full of w ter. A good time to sell farm products is W hen they bring good prices; better thau to wait with speculative desire for some thing more; but better still is intelligent Understanding of conditions that lead up r down iu obedience to the law of sup ply and demand. If farmers who have large weeds grow ing in frout of their farms would take a liue along those where the weeds are (iept mowed down they would surely be induced to mow their own weeds. The trouble is light and the improved appear l.uce worth a great deal to the farm aud the farmer's reputatiou, Judging Distance liy Sonnd. Some experiments in judging distance by sound were curried out on Saturday Inst by one of the London brigades of the Metropolitan Volunteers. This branch of military tactics is quite a new departure in voluutecring, nnd one which, if it is to mado of service, will require more than nn ordinary amount of prac tice. It was first explained to (he men that sound travels at tho rate of 1100 yards in threo seconds, nnd on this basis they were to estimate the distance at which somo rifles were being discharged in tho darkness. The answers at first were very wide of tho mark, somo of thc men being ns much as 1B0 yards out in their calculations. AVith a littlo prac tice, however, a great improvement was shown, many of tho men guessing tho distance cxnctly. 1 am told, however, that the experiments arc not as satisfac tory as was hoped, and it is thought some time must elapse before judging distanco by sound can be relied upon with any certainty. Lomlon Life. Things Are Seldom What They Seem. Half a dozen school boys were worry ing their brains in a sidewalk congress the other dny over a difficult problem in quadratics. AVhcn they had fairly given it up a buttered old individual who was shoveling coal a door or two away and who had overheard tho boys' dispute came up and asked leave to try. Then picking up n bit of coal he soon spread the values of X, Y and Z on the flag ging before the astonished boys.
