Continued from First Fage s Wie fatal chasm. It was only a short distance to the bar, and they could have been hauled ashore in their small boat, through or 011 the surf. This idea was followed by the suggestion of a projec ""ftle force for that purpose. I instituted experiments by throwing light lines with bows and arrows, by rockets, and by a shortened blunderbuss, with ball and line. My idea culminated in complete success, however, by the use of a mor tar, or a carronade, and a ball and line, 'l hen I found, to my great delight, that it was an easy matter to carry out my desired purpose." Nine years later, when Dr. Newell had become a member of Congress from Aew Jersey, he spoke before the House on the necessity of federal life saving and gave the points of his plan for such a service, based 011 his study of the prob lem during the years between the ship wreck he has described and his election to Congress. So ardently did he cham pion bis plan that he drew to his sup port Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy Adams, among other influential niem berj of the House, and when the light house bill came over from the Senate, the House inserted a clause providing tor an appropriation of SIO,OOO for the establishment of eight life saving sta tions and their equipment on the New Jersey coast between Sandy Hook and l.ittle Egg Harbor; the Senate concur ring in the amendment. The next year Dr. Newell secured an appropriation of SIO,OOO for the exten sion of the service from Little Egg Har bor to Cape May, at the southermost end of the New Jersey Coast, and the Government was fairly launched in the work of life saving. The new service, the first few years of its existence, more than justified the ex pectations of Dr. Newell and other ad vocates, but there came a time when it got to be a political plaything and speedily feel into disrepute, though there was never lack of heroism 011 the part of the crews. All this time the service was limited to the Atlantic seaboard; that is, what service there was, with the stations closed a good part of the year by the Government's parsimony. In the later sixties, when Congressman 'Sunset" Cox took up the cudgels in behalf of the service, it had become com pletely disorganized. By 187 Tit had been reorganized, thanks to Mr. Cox, and this is the organization that exists tu day, the like of which is to be found fiowhere else on the globe. Canada is the only oilier country maintaining a life saving service not volunteer, but it is ( not to be mentioned in the same breath vVith ours. Since the seventies the service has 1 •en extended all along the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, the shore of the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. While a majority of the nearly three hundred life saving stations are to be found on the Atlantic seaboard, due to the storminess of the Atlantic and its ■ 'heavy commerce, and while it is of the work of the Atlantic coast crews that the public hears oftenest, it is never theless true that the life guards elsewhere arc every whit as brave and goto as extreme lengths in their efforts to save life and property Indeed, the crew* strewn along tin shores of the Great Lakes have as stren uous a time of it as their fellows along the Atlantic seaboard, even they whn keep watch along the wreck-strewn south beach of Long Island and the New Jersey coast. I'lte almost superhuman powers of en durance of the life guards in time of peril well illustrated by the work of the Ottawa Point Station, Lake Huron, on November _'7th and jiSth, 1889. Karly on the afternoon of the 27th, Captain !•. I. Ocha heard signals of di tress and sent two surfmcn to investi gate. After walking ten miles along the beach, in the face of a blinding snow and sleet storm, they found two schooners driven on a reef about three hundred yards off shore. While one of the sttrfmen remained 011 the beach ami built a fire, to let the shipwrecked know that succor was coming, the other stag gered back to the station and notified the crew of the work ahead. It was folly to thiidc of rowing down to the vreck. A team of horses was hastily procured from a farmer, the life boat and beach apparatus loaded in a wagon, but before the horses had gone far they played out. Another team was secured and, the crew walking, the trip was renewed. The burden proved too heavy for the four animals and the life boat had to be left behind. I' inally, the scene of the wreck was reached, and while a part of the crew shot a line to the schooners, the rest went back for the boat. This wan brought up after one man hail befn res eued in the breeches buoy, and then, the schooners showing signs of breaking up, the crew decided to use the life boat. Twenty times the seas baffled them in their attempt to launch it, ruth lessly hurling them back on the sands. At last they got off—and rescued every soul aboard just a few minutes before the schooners went to pieces. It was well 011 toward morning of the 28th. Ihe life savers set about finding food for the sailors. Some milk and a little bread were obtained from an isolated farm house. It was not suf ficient togo around; the crew forced every mouthful of it on the rescued. I hen the life savers compelled the sail ors to get in the wagon and, the guards walking alongside, the journey through the storm to the station was begun. It was not till the 11' ht of the 28th that the station was reached. After making the rescued comfortable, the crew went back for the beach apparatus and the boat; and it was only when these had been brought in that food passed the mouths of these heroes of the surf for the first time since they had left their station togo to the rescue. At the Lake View Beach Station, Lake Huron, Captain Plough and his crew, in IQOI, from two to six o'clock of a morning, rescued thirty-eight per sons from the wrecks of seven steamers and schooners, and then spent all that day saving property. On a stormy pitch black night, Surfman I - 'red Hatch, of the Cleveland station, leaped from the main boom of a submerged wreck to the mizzen shrouds and saved two lives. Captain Greisser, of the Buffalo sta tion, in 1901, swam with a line five hun- : dred feet in a gale to the rescue of a man clinging to a piling. This is one of the greatest swimming feats of mod ern times. The surfmen of several of the Lake Superior stations frequently patrol on all fours, tiie water forming an ice coating as it is driven 011 the beach, thus making walking impossible. And to add to the usual dangers that fall to the lot of the life saver, the crews along parts of Lake r.iperior's: shore have wolves, made desperate by hunger, ti watch out for. More than one surf man, while 011 his lonely patrol, has been charged by a wolf, its inborn fear of the sea conquered by the gnawing at its stomach. It is not exaggeration to say that wherever Uncle Sam's life guard is found, there is a hero. When two vol unteers were wanted togo to a wreck in the breeches buoy on the North Caro lina coast, all of the twenty-one surf men present volunteered, and each con tended with as much heat that he should be one of the two chosen. Before day break, in a hurricane on the same coast, Surfman Midgett rescued ten persons, one by one, at great peril to his own life. And thus the tales rf the service might be multiplied ad infinitum. No one who knows aught of the life saving man will dispute the words of the poet: He's an angel dressed in oilskins, he's a saint in a sou'wester', He • as plucky as they make, or ever can, He's a hero born anr! bred, but it hasn't swelled his head, And he's just the U. S. Gov'ment's hired man." Husband and Wife. The best husband is the philosopher v-ho knows how to accommodate hinjself to conditions. The best wife is she who has learned mutual concessions are better than grand principles. The best husband is a diplomat, who, whatever he thinks of the government, serves his queen. " The best wife is she who gives a queen to serve. The best husband is he that does what he wants, but always makes his wife think that she inspires his wishes. The best wife is she who, whatever she knows, is content to ask and receive only his higher nature, and does not wreck the ship if another woman re ceives his lower. The best husband should keep: The tenderness of a lover; The companionship of a comrade; ''he freedom of a friend; The watchfulness of a father; The playfulness of a son; The attention of a stranger. And the best wife will respond to all; be his known and unknown companion, friend and child—all in one.

We arc pleased to announce that the great success of our pattern service en ables us to furnish the patterns at ten cents each hereafter, instead of fifteen cents, as heretofore. This change in price will doubtless :i!I further increase their popularity a- helpful and reliable aids to the home die maker. For the benefit of those who have never used these Paris patterns we wish in say that all patterns are cut with full seam allowance and may be used with a full dependence upon their fixed and unwavering correctness. I lie curves and shapings of the vari ous seams arc cut according to the highest French standard, and will be found to give not only a garment that tits, but every line will be full of that Brace which distinguishes and charac terizes the highest art.

The straps, which are crossed 011 the shoulders at the front and back and 011 the sleeves, are a charming feature o. the waist, giving a decidedly chic effect.

There was a time when folk regarded the serious study of dress and fashion as an evidence of pure vanity. Nowa days such study has come to be a real necessity, for in modern life a woman cannot hope to attain success of any kind, social or financial, unless she pre sents an attractive outward appearance and her clothing bears those indefinable yet very apparent touches that are rec ognized as the hallmarks of recent shap ing and style. To veer with the ever-changing weathercock of fashion and conform with its demands upon the limit of a small income requires a very high order of financial ability, as well as superior taste and judgment. Hence, the woman who is wise gives the question of ap parel a great deal of time and thought. The many quick and radical changes in fashions are enough to drive the eco nomically-minded to despair. How to remodel last year's gowns in a way that will not betray the makeshift is a prob lem which confronts many possessors of lean purses. In making over a dress the first thing to be thought of is an up-to-date corset, because the change of figure demanded by fashion is fundamental and begins with the corset. YOll will be surprised to find that the waist and skirt refitted over the new high-bust, slender-hip cor set at once begin to assume a different air. With the proper corsets as a founda tion, the reshaping of last year's frocks is very much simplified. Fortunately the blouse waist has be come so exuberant and exotic in the READ EVERY WORD OF THIS—i! Means Big Money to Ton THE SEARCH FOR ENTERTAINMENT HAS BECOME MORE THAN A PASTIME WITH THE GREAT AMERICAN PUBLIC-IT HAS BECOME A BUSINESS. Tliis is not a sold or liver, coal or copper mine, nor yet an oil scheme, it is a first class business proposition, handled by first class business men who have made splendid .successes in their particular field of operation and whose names are a guarantee that they will "make good" in whatever they under take. During the last few years the larger cities of this country have established at some favorable spot, usually along a trolley line, what are known as . Imtise ment Parks, (some two thousand of them are now in successful operation) which the public has never failed to generously patronize when first class at tractions have been offered. These Parks are owned and operated by local people and the transportation companies principally interested are usually large stockholders. Such standard features as Scenic /■tides. Chute the Chutes, Ca rousseh, Shooting Lialleries, etc., etc., WHERE THE BIG MONEY IS. The Company will operate its shows upon the circuit plan, that is from town to town, just as theatrical and Vaude ville shows are run, because it can be done at the least cost and greatest profit, the entire twenty productions being man aged from the Central Office in New "l ork. 1 his is possible because the Parks granting us concessions on a per centage basis keep check on the receipts to insure their percentage, thus reducing our operating expense to a very small figure. Our productions will comprise ■Spectacular Shows, Scenographs, Kine tographs, etc., this being the class of at tractions operated at least expense and paying the biggest money at Exposi tions, Summer Resorts and Amusejnent Parks.

A Partial List of Great Spectacles which Edward J. Austen has Produced. THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS. Aside from the fact that each Sceno graph or Spectacular Production will have Mr. E. J. Austin's personal super : ision in its construction, the General Management will be in the hands of no less a person than Mr. F. IV. Mc- Clellan, who has had the management of Thompson & Dundy's wonderful "Luna Park" at Coney Island ever since its gates were opened to the public. With two such successful and resource ful men of National Reputation and wonderful Executive ability, the stock holders are to be indeed congratulated and the company is assured success. THE SMALL INVESTORS' OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME RICH. When big enterprises are launched, the men of large capital are given the first chance at the stock, and it is usual ly over subscribed if the proposition is a good one. Now, just here the Inter national Amusement & Concession Com pany proposes to reverse the general or der of things. We would rather have International Amusement and Concession Company, 237 East 41st St., New York City. matter of yokes, which are cut in all manner of sectional devices, arabesque and geometrical. Both yokes and sleeves are so divided up into variously shaped parts and pieces and the whole so cov ered up with fanciful ornamentation, that one can use the smallest bits of the material to piece out these ornate designs if the joinings are covered with medallions or other trimming so dis posed as to form an artistic design. The favorite method of bodice trim ming at the moment consists of three to five bands of black or self-colored velvet ribbon in graduated widths across the blouse portion, above this the blouse, which is not cut so full as formerly, is gathered with several rows of shirring to the lower edge of a rounding yoke, which has a U-shaped dip at center front. This yoke can be made of tucked chiffon, with tucks placed either length wise or crosswise, or it may be of all over Valenciennes or a pretty baby Irish lace, or with the side portions and back of tucks, and the center from the neck beginning at the point o? the shoulder seam and extending to the edge of the U-shaped curve, may be of lace; or the U-shaped portion be covered with a large round, oval or crescent .aped me dallion of heavy lace or silk embroid ered chiffon. The entire yoke may be outlined with crescent or other shaped medallions that lend themselves grace fully to the de«ign. Many a home dr- 'Si aker who is fussing over the refurbishing of a dressy waist would draw a lon°r sigh of relief if she could see the r ' iu. of seem ingly incongruous materials "nd orna mentation which the expensive waists displayed in Fifth Avenue shop wi dows show. Indeed, one sees as many as six kinds of lace "id embroider, on a single bodice, and not infrequently the very richest single flower motifs in handmade lace are posed in high relief upon a background of all-over Valen ciennes. The clever woman who makes it a point to look for and pick up bargains in laces, medallions and trimmings whenever she gets a chance to do such shopping, is never at a loss for deco rative material that will change the en tire effect of a bodice that has grown passe. Tt must not be forgotten that the collar, the cuff part or band of the sleeve, and some portion of the yoke ' were hut the beginnings, it remained for Mr. Fdward J. Austen, that great and successful creator of gorgeous spectacu lar productions, to arouse the people to the highest pitch of enthusiastic ap proval by introducing such wonderful conceptions as The Johnstown Flood, New York to the North Pole, Battle of Gettysburg, and the most notable amuse ment successes for the last 20 years, and they demonstrated their appreciation by packing his shows to the house capacity. The great demand of Park Managers and their public has been, and is, for novelty—something new, something never seen, bigger, better, grander than before, and Mr. Austen is going to sup ply that demand this season with a series of attractions, scintillating in marvelous effects, gorgeous settings and astound ing climaxes. Many of these new pro ductions are completed, others are under way, all of them ( tzccnty in number) will be finished and ready for installa success on what has been done in the past, and when it is realized that our method of handling concessions in a wholesale way eliminates all chances of failure for any one of them, it is certain the returns of each attraction installed will play to full capacity for the season. NOW LOOK AT THE FIGURES— "The Johnstown Flood," the first of this class of attractions, took ii», in six months at the Pan American Exposi tion $167,000, paying the nvestors near ly 400 per cent. It was taken to Coney Island, and in three seasons cleared over all expenses $90,000, a grand total of $257,000. "'l he 'J rip to the Moon" and "7 he Galveston Flood" were equally successful. "From New York to the North Pole" and "Creation" each took in more than a Quarter of a Million Dollars in Six Months. "Creation" has 1885-1898 Cycloramas— Battle of Gettysburg (12) Jerusalem and the Crucifixion (6) Custer's Last Fight Siege of Paris Chicago Fire Niagara in Winter (London, Eng land) New York Harbor BATTLE OF MANILA At Chicago World's Fair, JB93 — The Chicago Fire Hardy's Underground World MacKaye's Spectatorium California— 50,000 stockholders interested in our proposition than 1,000, because —50,000 all talking about the Austen shows, are 50,000 live, walking, hustling advertise ments for the proposition, and people who hear them will know there's some thing doing when we're around, and sit up and take notice. Talk it over in the family, it's a good, clean, honest, first must be of identical lace or material, or they will not bear that look of relation ship which is needful to prevent the waist from looking like patchwork. Sleeves in their present state 0 f over elaboration help to solve the probi em 0 f their making over. This applies, 0 c course, chiefly to sleeves of dressy waists and gowns. The sleeves of cloth dresses and suits are more severe and require different treatment. The sleeve decoration of an afternoon, theater or party waist usually partakes of the trimming characteristics of the yoke, but in the matter of shaping the styleir- are unusually elastic. Some sleeves consist of a single small puff scarcely reaching to the elbow, others are made of a succession of such puffs joined together with lace bands. A narrow sleeve, if sufficiently long, can have the upper sleeve portion slit length wise three times and gathered up to el bow length and joined with three bands of heavy lace. Narrow strap', of ma terial with edges turned in and stitched make a very effective over-trimming to use across broad lace bandings, or to suggest a vestee effect at front of waist. These straps should be about three eighths of an inch wide and may be made of either straight or bias material; each little strap have a small but ton or tiny braid ornament at both ends. Very pretty braid ornaments can be made of narrow white or colored sou tache braid by simply casting a chain of five stitches with an ordinary zephyr crochet-hook, then drawing the end at which yo'u begin through the sixth loop; pull both ends closely and fasten with thread and needle before cutting off. A lady whose daughter had grown too tall and stout for her last year's tailored gown was enabled to widen and lengthen it, and transformed it into an exceptionally handsome suit by use of soutache braid and velvet To do this she opened the lengthwise seams ex tending from the shoulders at front and back of coat; into there slv introduced a narrow gore of velveteen of the same shade as the suit. This gore of velve teen was not over an inch wide at its widest part, and narrowed down to half that width at the waist line. This vel veteen strip was reinforced by a lining of canvas of the same weight as was used for interlining the coat. After carefully basting the canvas and velve * tion when the Parks open their gates to I the amusement-loving public of America. The demand for Mr. Austin's produc -1 lions is so great that to comprehensively handle them, the International Amuse ment and Concession Company has been , organized under the laws of the State of New York with a capital of SBOO,OOO, divided into 160,000 full paid and non assessable shares at $5.00 a share. The Company offers for sale 50,000 Shares at $5.00 each. The Company reserves the right to cancel subscriptions without notice because it knows from Mr. Aus tin's previous successes that no more money will be needed and that the stock is worth to-day three times the price at which it is offered to the public.

The free ends of the straps wi,„ tacked over the opposite edge of overlapping cloth and fastened with small braid ornament made as those described above. The flat collar and the cuffs were trimmed with shaped empiecements of the velvet slip stitched to place. The skirt, which was of the circular variety, presented a more difficult prob lem. It was ripped from the band, the back plaits and placket opened, and cut apart through the center of the front, into which a very narrow gore of velvet, not wider than four inches at the bot tom, was introduced. This gore was cut the full length wanted. The skirt was then fitted to a velvet yoke which had two nine inch tabs at each side. The edges of the velvet overlapped the cloth and were stitched to place. Narrow straps of the broadcloth crossed the vel vet panel in front and at the side; these had the braid ornaments at each end. The suit is much handsomer this year than last, and 110 one would ever sus pect that it was remodeled, for the clever trimming touches give it all the air of an exclusive and individual de sign.
