E'Love me, love my dog" Doubtless
q dog may very properly become the
worthy object Of human attachment.
His beauty, utility or fidelity may en-.
dear hin to his owner who may perhaps
eniitle him to privileges which society
has not universally conceded to the ca
nine oepecies. 1t is perhaps not true
that there is soft spot in the head of
the man OF woman who dotes on !; dog;
but it Is frequently observable that such
persons show il laneutable lack OF what
is usually considered good sense, on
that one subject, by expecting every one
else to show the same liking to the fa-
voreG cnimal, which they themselves so
lavishly and often disgustingly be-
stow upon it. While there may be
nothing particularly wrong about being
fond OF Il dog, there is something ridic-
ulous and offensive ia tlrusting that
fondEess upon other people. Affection
should never be demonstrative in public.

The special delivery scrvik which
goes into operation on thesiirst of
October should prove grea. public
convenience. In most cases it will
shorten the delivery Of letters a
whole day. The new undertaking
trenches somewhat on the field OF
private enterprise, but it is clearly
within the Legitimate functions of
the department. The success Of
the scheme from the revenue stand
point is doubtful, but the leading
motive on the postal service is not

My Es0y, de yen smoke:

The United States Navy annually
takes into its service large number
of apprentice boys, who are sent all
over the world and taught to be
thorough sailors. 1t has been the
policy of the government since the
war to educate the "blue jacket, P"
upon the principle that the more
intelligent q man is, the better
sailor he is likely to become. There
is no lack Of candidates for these
positions. Hundreds OF boys apply,
but many are rejected because they
cannot pass the physical examina-
ton. Major Houston, one of the
Marine Crops who is in charge OF
the Washington Navy Yard bar
racks, is the authority for the state
ment that one fifth of the boys ex.
anined are rejected on account Of
heart disease.
d, His first, question to a boy, whe
desires to enlist is: "Do you snokeq'
Ihe lnvar1able response IS, "No sir,
but the tell-tale discoloration of the
fingers at once shows the :ruth
The surgeons say that cigarette
smoking by boys produces heart
disease, and that in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred the rejection
Of wou!d-be apprentices on account
Of this defect comes from excessive
use of the milder form Of the weed
This is a remarkable statement,
coming. as it does, from SO high an
authority and based upon the re
suits Of actual examinations going
on day after day, and month after
month. 1t should be warning tx
parents that the deadly cigarette
is sure to bring about incalculablt
injury to the young. Boys indulg
ing in thc cigarette ought to b'
treated to liberal doses Of ''rod o
pickle" until the habit is thorough,
prad;cated.

The State department may now
have another Kelley en- its hands
in the person Of James Whalen,
who was recently appointed consul
at Fort Erie, opposite Buffalo.
Whalen, it appears, was an active
Feuian in the 1866 episode, and
on that account is very obnoxious
to the Canadian government. A
British diplomatic agent has been
working on the case, and, it is said,
he has advised Whaien's rejection
on his record. In that case the State
Department may have delicate
task ahead of it. Whalen is a Buf
faIo man, personal acquaintance
Of President Cleveland, and wei

The gift of Philip Sunderland, the

The Odd Fellows lie speaks Of IA the
oloest and Target benefit society III
North America, the order having been
in operation Cor sixly.foor years, and the
p-cscu, membership being about half a

elsewhere, but Ds. CampbCli confines
himself 10 the stAtisties OF The odd Fol.
l1ws in Canada and tue United Sales-
Two oounlrie' whose circumstances OF
race, climate. and social customs are
similar"
The IN mbors Of The society are healthy
white males of the age Of twenty-one and
upward; that is, at least an apparently
sound physical condition Is a necessary
prerequisite for ad mission, and in some
cases medical certificate of good health
is required. Besides, they must be men
of good moral character, and oonso-
qnently are representatives. of the healthy
and vell-ordered male adults of the two
counties.
The average death rate Of this society
for the last nine years has been less than
one in hundred IL very low rate, But,
in order to comp,re the mortality in
different portions of the continent, DR.
Campbell makes five groups of States
and provinces tho northern, the south.
ern, the eastern, the western, and The
central. The highest death rats is il
the southern group, and the lowest il
the northern; aud, in general, the rate
in the more tcolhical States is twice al
high as that in the temperate z1no
That is, the average death rate Of tht
better class Of the sdult white male pep
ulation of this continent is for the TEN
perato regions in every 100. and fo
the trophioal regions in every 100.
The statislics of tie sickness among
the members show that, as with tb
death rate, the sick rate is lowest IN tn,
northern group and highest in th
southern. judging from the eXper;
ence of this society,"" DR.. Campbell con
cludes, "the average sickness Of he bet
tr class of the ADULT male population
of the United States and Canada is On
week and half each year.
The statistics of the society show also
what is shown by similar statisios o
