Why Hundreds of Boys are Re-
jected from the Navy.

From a Washington Letter.
The United States navy annually
takes into service a 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 ssblue jacket" upon the principle
that the more intelligent a man is the
better sailor he is likely to become.
There is no lack of candidates for
these positions. Hundreds ofboys ap.
ply, but many are rejected because
they can not pass the physical exam
nation. Major Houston, OF the Ma
n Corps, who is in charge of the
Washington Navy Yard Barracks,
is the authority for the statement
that one-lifth OF all the boys exam
med are rejected on account of heart
disease. His first question to a boy
who desires TO enlist is: ssDo 0
smoke??" The inyariable response is,
No, SIR but the teli-tale discolora-
ito OF the fingers at once shows the
truth. The surgeons say that cigar
ette-smoking by boys produces heart
disease, and that in ninety-nineoutofa
hundred the rejection OF would-be ap-
preatlces on account of this defect
comes from the excessive use OF the
milder form OF the weed. This is a re-
markable statement, comingas it does
from SO high an authority and based
upon the results of actual examina-
tions going on day after day month
after month. 1t should be a warning
to parents that the deadly cigarette is
sure to bring about incalculable injury
to the young. A law passed restrict
ing its use to the dudes, would not,
perhaps, bring popular disfavor, be-
cause it might reduce the number OF
these objects about our streets, but
boys indulgingin the cigarette oughtto
be treared to liberal doses OF 'srod in
pickle" until the habit is thoroughly
eradicated..

Where the Prince Consort Died.

Where the Prince Consort Died.
London Letter in Charleston News.
a long time ago went over the
house and came to a room which had
been religiously closed for years. It
was opened by special order and there
issued from it a certain hallowed odor
which exhales on opening along-closed
sanctuary. The blinds were drawn
and semi-darkness prevailed. We
drew near a table and my guide ex-
planned that this was the late Prince
Consort's room and everything was
to-day just as he left it when he died.
The dust was nearly an inch thick on
his writing desk; a half-used quill was
lyingcrosswise where ithad faIlenfrom
his hand or it's rack; there were sever
al articles about, q paper-weight,
a book, and to the right, near the
abandoned quill, a little carved
frame, and in this frame a por-
trait. / think / can see it now-the
youthful Victoria painted by Winter
halter. Her Majesty has a sweet, fair
face and rosebud mouth andshe wears
an apple-green gown, the lint just glim-
ering through the folds of laces. This
picture was always foundb the Prince
Consort's side, and when this sanctum
was vacated forever no one dared to
touch it or even the smallest object in
the room. By the queens orders it
stands to-day as it stood then. The
dust lisa little thicker on tapestry,
chair and table, the quill still lies in
its old place and the little royal pic
ture smiles as sweetly as OF yore from
its half-dimmed frame. l need not
saythat this chamber is never opened
on a revel night, but / could not help
thinking Of it as we walked once more
through other lovely but less sacred
apartments.

the direct Interpolation of the crown
from entering upon the rigorous OIL
cial investigation which the charges
launched by the Pail Mall Gazette Inn
peratively call for.
Although Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dixie are too cautious to avOw
the full scope of their wishes and in
tentions, ii IL no secret that the pro-
gramme of their more uncompromis-
Ing followers includes the abolition Of
the peerage, the compulsory parcella-
ton OF estates, the establishment
and abandonment of the Angli-
can church, and the suppress
sion of the throne. For that
monstrous eXcresence on the policy OF
country protesting to be free, the
hereditary legislator, there Is really
nothing TO be said, and nothing but
the general impression that the house
OF lords was at least inoifensive has
saved 1t from demolition. But the
peers can no longer shelter themselves
behind q reputation for harmlessness,
provided q large majority Of them can
be Justly accu 5ed Of the revolving prac.
tices laid bare by London news
paper. That the imputatiOn Is well
founded will be universally assumed,
should the legal proceedings requisite
for the extirpstlon OF those practices
be on any pretext Interrupted.
The crown is much more firmly
planted than the peerage, though that
Is state OF things not looked for by
the Wing mobiles who imported q
doltish Hanoverian to be their figure
head. But the hold which the institu-
ton of royalty unquestionably retains
on the sentiment and Imagination of
the masses of the people owes much of
i ts firmness to the reverence for the
personal virtues attributed to the
queen. 1t is very questionable
whether Englishmen would now
brook ruler of notorious private vices
like the first, second, or fourth George
But no other member of the house
of Brunswick was ever so tainted
in the popular eye az the prince of
Wales would be should the crimes cas-
tigated in the Pail Mall Gazette be
brought home to him.
On the other hand we see no ground
for believing that the established
church is directly menaced by the rev.
Citations of corruption that can hardly
fail to shake the peersge and the
throne. Bishops of the Anglican
communion have been as Jealous in
applsuding the work done by the
Pail Mall Gazette and in denouncing
the denominations brought to light as
Cardinal Manning or the non-con-
formist, Mr.. Spurgeon. The fact will
be remembered to their credit when
the whole British system is subj ected
