A more the unsung heroes of this country are the members of the light house service, which Is entirely dis tinct from the life saving service. The entire lighthouse corps designed to warn ships of danger points covers 100,000 miles of coast line and reaches from Alaska to Panama, the mainte nance of it costing approximately $0, 000,000 a year. It has about 13,000 "aids to navigation," Including light houses, lightships, bell buoys, tenders, submarine signals, and fog signals. A lightship must be kept always In one particular place. Anchored to the bottom of the sea. she has her steam always up, but she never sails unless relieved by another ship so that she may put into port for repairs. And such a boat Is used because a warning must be given at a place where it is impossible to build a lighthouse and where even the clamor of a gigantic bell buoy Is not suliicient to warn the navigator. No matter how fiercely the storm bents or how desperate may be the boat's plight, she must stay at her moorings. The only movement she is allowed to make under the regula tions is to sink when at last she can withstand the gale no longer. Throughout the service, both In the lighthouses and on the vessels, there is one object, one dominating creed to keep the light burning and the whistle blowing. This is the supreme work of the men's existence. And It would bring them deserved recognition If the government ever published a list of those who nave lost their lives in the line of such perilous duty. For about $0,000,000 a year these men and their craft save from disaster the billions of dollars' worth of shipping and commerce that come to American shores. Popular Magazine.

"Are you sure you haven't anything that would do?" 1 "There isn't a thing In the place that I would care to sell you, ma'am. Hold on,i though. There's a half dozen fresh rolls on my own supper table right how. I could let you have those if you think they would do. My kids can eat crackers instead.

The addition to the vocabulary of the nation has been quite marked in recent years.

For in stance, "damphool," "uglify," "corker," "stemwinder," and the like are now in good standing.
