Tliuro Ih 110 oxpeniiitnroorilcrotl by
Congress for wliioli tho pooplo obtain
n moro satisfactory return, or in which
bo littlo of tliu suspicion of corruption
is allowed to enter. Tho noblo exploits
which nro performed by tho coaBtmcn
in tho faco of somo of tho most trcmon
dous perils by which human fortitudo
can bo tried often fail to reach the
public ear. Thoy are never heard of
except in tho tales of tho grateful men
and women who havo benefitted by
them, or in tliu cold and dry reports of
an olllcial document. Indeed tho men
nro generally of a kind who never
think of famo and who go about their
dangerous business in a mattcr-of-courso
way, indifferent to tho fact that their
perilous duties aro such as havo often
won other men Immortal glory in song
and verse. As a rulo they aro far re
moved from tho cyo of the great mod
ern dispenser of lame tho newspaper
reporter. On dark and dreary and
desolate Bhores their humblo lives are
spent, and when tho moment of peril
comes there is scarcely nny one to look
on and applaud and chroniclo their
achievements.
From tho annual repot tissued by tho
government on tho operations of tho
service, it is possible in tho mass of
facts, figures and statistics prepared in
tho official drv-as-dust stylo to obtain a
notion of tho magnitudo and value of
tho coastmnn's work. There are at
present in operation 191 stations ilia
tributed along tho most dangerous
points of the Atlantic coast, tbo shores
of tho ureat lakes and tho Pacifio coast,
and ono at Louisville, near tho falls of
tho Ohio river. These stations aro in
cluded in twelve- districts, over each of
which a superintendent has control, tho
highest salary paid thoso officers being
iStoUU, ana tlio lowest sizuu.
8000 LIVES SAVED.
Thcro are 202 men who aro kept re
gnlarly on duty to man tho life boats
and take cliarco ol tno nouses ot re
fuge. They aro paid on an averago
auout 5uu a year eacir. xn aiiuiuuii
to these men there aro crows ot volun
teer surfmen, who live near tho various
stations and who are employed only In
caso of a disaster. They aro not al
lowed by law to receive more than $10 a
av. How well these uravoieiiowa earn
their money is shown in tho record of
their work. During tho year thero
were moro than thrco hundred disasters
to larco vessels along our coast, not in
clndiiiK ono third as many more to
smaller craft. On board of theso three
hundred vessels there were threethous-
nnd seven hundred and ninety sis per
sons, and only fifteen of them were
lost ! The total value ot tlio vessels
and their cargoes foots up moro than
$7,000,000, and of this value more
than S5,.r)00,000 were saved. Jt is
splendid record. Hundreds, if not
thousands, of these lives and most of
this property would certainly have
been destroved had it not been for tho
efforts of tho Signal Service. Tho few
lives that were lost could not have been
saved. The sudden capsizing of ves
sels, tho hurry to cet nshoro through
rocks and breakers in disregard of tho
assistance of tho orews. tho shock of
collision and tho effects of exposure,
wore responsible for what human aid
could not possibly prevent.
Yet all theso valuable results, this
saving of thousands oi precious lives,
cost tho government only a littlo moro
than 70O,00O. What moro bench
cent result does it receive for that
amount of money ? Tims the moro
than three thousand people who were
rescued trom death were saved at
cost of hardly more than $20 each
Can they begin to estimate tho debt of
gratitude which thev owe the govern
merit T When the servico was first
established there need to bo cries from
strict constructionists and cheso-paring
economizers of "iiaternnl government.
But these threo thousand people at
least doubtless believe now that the
functions of Federal rule extend to
something moro than simply collecting
taxes and keeping tho population in
good order.

When tho surfmen executo a more
than ordinarily heroic achievement thoy
aro honored with gold or silver medals,
The first man to obtain a silver medal
lns,t vear was O. A. J. Queckberner, of
New York, who nt various timeB saved
moro than thirty five lives. Tho gold
medal of the servico was won by Wil
Ham II. Daily, ot Santa Cruz, whoe
record ot saving lives on the 1 acih
coast numbers twenty-eight persons
bv Dominiek J. Hvder. of Roekawnv

in eleven persons lrom the breakers,
and by Julius W. Rolin, of Milwaukee
who lias snatohed forty-seven, persons

was mado to tho two (Jardran boys,
living near tho Spectacle Reef Light
House, in Lake Huron, who on a cold
bitter night struggled amid tho ice
bergs and a torritio gale to save the
etow of a capsized skiff. There has

OH. OM THE TKOmil.KD WATERS.
One of tho subjects which has en
gaged much of tho attention of the of,
ficers of tho Signal Service is the use
of oil for calming the waters of a rougl:
sea. It has estimated that tho extreme
height of ocean waves is twenty feet
ana that tho force ot a wavo in sum
mer months is Gil pounds to the square
foot and in water 2000 pounds. Indeed
in unusually heavy gales a force of
nearly 0800 pounds to the squaru foot
has been observed. To reduce such
tremendous force as this has been tho
objeot of tho oil experiments. When
the water breaks upon tin- shore tlio
oil has no effect whatever, but in deep
water it but been attended with some
efficiency in calming tho surface. When
a boat or vessel is in the open ocean
and reaches a "dead drift," or in other
words sails directly before the wind,
the pouring of oil on tho water has
been often known to bo an elfective
.means of safety, but when going under
"ranging sail' no bouellt is derived
from it, as tlio craft continually ranges
alioad from tlio oiled surface into rougli
water. Tho problem now is to perfeot
some invention by which the oil can bo
distributed in the advance of a vessel's
courso in such n position that she will
range into it. Tiieio have been many
such devices submitted to tlio Signal
Service officers, but none of them solve
tlio problem.
Politics nro not allowed to enter into
tho service.

Making Bteel Fens.
Tho steel pen is a modern invention,
not fifty years having elapsed since it
was introduced, and like many other
innovations it met witli much opposi-
lion, and had a number of rivals. Of
theso tho quill pen was the most for
midable, and to this day tho quills ot
geese aro used by somo old persons.
fens of silver and gold, tho latter es
pecially, havo been groat favorites
lth those who ndmiro much llexibili-
ty in a pen, and tho handy self.feedeis,
as the stlographio, have plenty of us
ers. lint, utter nil, tho steel pen is tno
most generally used, and ttnlito most
inventions, tho method of its tnaiiufac
ture has not bcon essentially changed
or improved.
The steel trom which pons aro mado
is the finest crucible cast steel rolled
into sheets 7-1000 of an inch thick.
From this the blonks aro cut by means
f a punch and die in presses worked
by hand or foot, tlio operators being
girls. Tho side slits in tho pen, the
central oval or semi-circular hole, tho
corrugations or embossings, the curved
or semi-circular form to the originally
flat bank, and the stamp of tho pen or
maker, aro all formed and produced by
similar means the scrow hand press
or the lover foot press by tlio uso of
punches and dies, each pen being han
dled separately.
These corrugations ana slits ana con
trol cuts are not morely fanciful orna
ments, but oro intended to adapt the
pen to tho user. Some want a resist
ing pen, very stiff and allowing oon
iderablo pressure without opening tho
nibs wide enough to make a henvy
mark i others a yielding pen that re
quires but a touch to open the nibs.
Then thoro aro many degrees of these
qualities required, as well as difference
in sizes, so that a single establishment
makes no less than forty-six styles of
steel pens.
Of course cast steel of such extreme
tenuity beoomes liardcnod bv theso
successlvo pressings, ami must bo an-
noaied. mis is aone uy placing me
blanks or unfinished pens in a cast
iron box, which is then oovcrod by a
larger box, leaving a spaoo all around
of half an inch or more, which is filled
with ashes or hue charcoal. The whole
is then subjected to a glowinc red
heat for about two hours ana allowed to
cool. When annealed tho blanks may
bo rolled up by the fingers just like so
many bits of tea load, which tbey much
resomblo in softness.
In heotinff for hardoning tho some
method is used packing in double
boxes six or eight mohes square and
when they aro red hot thev are poured
into a tank of animal oil. When tak
en from this bath they must be hand
led carefully, as they are not stiff and
brittle, but crumbly ; they can bo
squeezed to rninuto fragments between
thumb and finger. They are then plac
ed within a cone-shaped, sheet iron re
ceptacle, open at the larger end, and
mounted on a spindle, and are rotated
over a glowing fire until thoy turn to
a full or "low" blue. They aro then
chilled in oil, and when cool aro rat
tled in saw-dust until they are quito
clean and bright. The next process is
the grinding ot the nibs on minuto
wheels of fine emery and of corundum,
and lastlv comes tho essential process
that completes tho pen and makes it a
pen tho slitting of the nibs. ThiB is
done by a pair of shears acting tlio
same as the presses and punches. This
splits tho st?el from point to central
hole without removing a partielo of
material. The pens are then lacquer
ed, straw or brown, blue or black, or
left bright, as the stylo dcrftnndi, and
packed tor the market.
Farm Cellars
Tho time is at hand when our farm
ers will need their cellar in which to
store their winter supply of apples, po
tatoes, roots, cider, etc. (ieuerally
speaking, a farmer's cellar is anything
but a place oi neatness and order. The
houso may be a good one, and all the
rooms in it, mav bo well arranged, fur
nished and kept, but tho cellar, which
is below thegrouud, not often frequent
ed by nny except tho occupants of tho
house, is generally u place of coufu
sion, showing want of taste and judg
ment.
Why should wt not have cellars as
appropriate to the use for which they
am intended as our parlors ! If you
havo a good wall and a good bottom
a few dollars and a few days' work
will do all that needs to be done. All
cellars should be ventilated. There is
a great deal of tout gas that accuinu
lates from the decay ol vegetable mat
tcr in them, that too often is allovroi
to pass into the rooms shore to the in
jury of tho health of their occupants.
The best way to secure ventilation is
to have a communication between the
cellar and the chimney, by means of
pipe or other opening. The upward
(Iran will reuiovo all lotil air as it ao
cumulates, and rendor it nearly
quite as pure as in tho rooms above,
Cellars should have a good bottom
Frequently they oro rendered wet by
the water that percolates through the,
soil lrom tho caves. When this is the
case, troughs should bo placed on th
building, and moans taken to conduct
tho water so for fiway that it will do
no injury. Sometimes, too, tho drains
aro imperfect and need looking after,
Wo think that all cellars should havo a
hard bottom. One made of cement is
not expensive. It keeps the rats from
working under the wall, ns thoy often
do, and making quite too free use
our stores of fut things. It makes
good bottom, which may at any timo
be swept like any other door.
Generally, a cellar should be dark
ened in tho winter. The usual way is
to bank up tho windows with tan-bark.
dirt, or stiaw. A good wall ought to
be made so that tho cellar needs no
banking. The windows should be dou
blt, and to keep out the light havo
shutters on the inside which can be re
moved at pleasure. In this way you
ean regulate tho light as yon desire.

Union Among Farmers,
Advantages of united effotl have
been long appreciated and improved I
among those who pursiio tho trades
and professions. Those especially, the
seat of whoso business is in largo towns
or densely populated districts, have
made most progress in tills department
of Improvement. Farmers being apart
and associating with each other, or
with tho world less perhaps than most
other classes of society, havo been
slower. than other bodies of men of
equal intelligence to see the advanta
ges of union for their common good,
or to improvo to tho full, tho advanta
ges thoy already see. Yet something
tins been dono. Tho Agricultural
'airs, which havo becomo so popular
within tho last fow years, havo diffus
ed a vast amount of information, which
had othorwlso been confined to a few.
They have inspired a self-respect, and
wakened an emulation and enthusiasm
for improvement, whoso effect on tho
agricultural interest ha9, niong with
other favoring causes, been as life from
tho dead.

Ihoy relievo labor ot ono ot its heavi
est burdens tho support ot a largo
crowd of non-producers, who must Do
paid at a high rate lor wnat iney do,
and whoso number, from tho operation
of obvious causes, is becoming greater
every year. But our object nt present
is not so much to comment on tho pro
gress nlroady made by farmers in un
ion of effort, as to point out some oth
er things in which union is especially
needed, nnd in which its resuus wouici
bo without doubt of tho most beneficial
character.
First, among tlio matters which we
would commend to tho notice of our
friends, is union in tho purchase of
costly stook books, implements, seeds,
ihrubs, trees, and other things ot a
similar kind. It is so oasy to sco tho
way in which union may operato most
advantageously in securing improve
ment in farming implements, seeus,
shrubs and trees, that wo may not
dwell longer on them ot this point.
Tho farmers of a certain neighbor
hood nro fully convinced that a certain
breed of horses, cattio sheep or swiiio
is the best they could have. But only
ono of them is able to make the pur
ohaso of a first-rato male and femalo
that could be relied on as thorough
bred. But by uniting their means,
they may make the exponso very light,
which would secure tho speedy intro
duction among them of the very best
of all kinds of stook which tho Ameri
can or British stook growers can fur
nish. In tho destruction of vermin, union
is absolutely essential to success. A
gardener 'attempts to savo his fruit
trees from tho ravages of tho borer, or
tho fruit from the apple worms. Ho
nses every preventive and remedy that
a single man can use. lie nccomplish-
es a littlo, and but a little. For his
neighbors on all sides, neglect all these
matters and livo on from year to year
unaffected by his suggestions or his ex
ample Their orchards and gardens
aro prolific sources of every species of
vermin and insects, that flourish under
tho reign of carelessness and laziness ;
overy year ho is over run with a new
swarm. He becomes discouraged and
at last gives up tho struggle. Union is
essoutial to success in all theso matters.
Let n whole neighborhood b animated
by a common spirit and pursuo tho
same effective system of prevention
and cure, and tho pests may bo con
quered. Oows and Butter.
Cows should have daily exercise and
a never failing supply of pure water at
tho barn if possible. They should
have a small quantity of salt daily.
When they are kept in tho barn they
should have all tho feed they will eat
up clean twice a day, and should .be
fed from six to eight o'clock in the
morning nnd from three to fivo in tho
afternoon. They should have all tho
water they will drink immediately af
ter each foddering, but they should
never bo allowed to drink ico water.
Oood, early cut, upland hay should
form tho basis of their food, supple
mented with ensilage, corn fodder of
any other good, sweet fodder. They
should havo grain twice a day while
giving milk. (J no quart of oorumeal,
ono quart of cotton seed meal and two
quarts of shorts make an excellont ra
tion. If one objects to ensilage, a good
supply of roots should be furnished,
and of these carrots nnd parsnips are
best. Cows should bo thoroughly
cleaned every day with a card and a
stiff brush ; the brush should bo used
most. Milk just before feeding in tho
morning and lust after watering in tho
evening, dividing tho time as nearly as
possible "Hegularity should bo
written in a conspicuous place and
strictly adhered to, as cows arc very
sensitive about being fed, watered and
milked at rcgulai intervals. iSo ono
who is not gentlo and kind should ever
bo allowed to handlo tho cows. They
should have a Bteady milker. Their
udders should bo thoroughly wiped
with a clotli before being milked. Do
not brush them immediately before
milking, as tho operation would fill the
air with dust, whiuh in settling would
get into tho milk. Never ueo a wood
en pail for milk ; tin is much better.
As soon as possible after it has been
drawn strain tlio milk through a fine
wire and a cloth strainer, and cool it at
once. Never allow tho cows to bo
run or hurried. Each cows milk should
be thoroughly tested, to ascertain her
value as a butter cow. Ono will be
apt to find that somo of his bost look
ing cows that givo n good flow of milk,
are neatly worthless as butter produc
ers. It a cow will not make at least
260 pounds per year' with tho above,
treatment sho should bo discarded at
onoo. Cows should go dry from fonr
to eight weeks, as they need a rest,
and their milk should not bo used
when nearing tho time of parturition.
Most butter should bo mado in winter,
as the demand is thun greater and the
price higher. By using a thorough
tired male, of whatever breed ono pre
fers, and raising tlio heifer calves from
the beat cows tho herd can be improv
ed to n great extent and tlio butter pro
duction be largely increased. N. Y.

Elastic rubber tubing, perfectly gas-
tight and free from smell, has lately
