waa told at Wolverhampton the other day
by lecturer who was holding forth on

readers may have heard before, but whicl,
is well worth repeatinp) runs thus: An
English arietocia; on a visit to America,
talking with Nn American Mdv, said:

'"Oh, people who don't do any work, " b
know" why, yes" replied the arch
Ameflcanes!.." We have people ol that sort,

."Really ~ or "Oh, sa," "I,upper," which
no one would think Il any particular harm
to use in America, IL one OF the loves,

Class OF exclamation l obserye
that the practice prevails of emphasizing
the verb instead Of using IN Adjective or

should say, "That is very nice" or "That

owners will probably hereafter recognize the
necessity Of making sure OF the fitness OF all
their officers themselves, and OF refusing to
trust the selection of any OF them to the cap
tain. But it is equally clear that it ought not
to be possible for owners of passenger steamers
to take such risks and expose the public
TO such dangers. 1t ought not to be
possibe for any passenger vessel TO
leave her dock without a complement
of thoroughly trustworthy officers. Every one
of these should be certiicated men and men
who have lost vessels no matter under what
circumstances, should be regarded by the own
ers of passenger steamers with certain mis-
trust. A wreck may be the misfortune and not
the fault of the officer in charge; but
il is liable to be his fault, and when
the safe-keeping of human lives is
concerned no precautions can be superfiuous or
excessive. This disaster shows that it Is OF
little avail to see that the captain is competent

gard to every watch officer The companies
