Advertising by Dogs.

Dogs are being pressed into the adver-
tising business. In the city, says the
Pail Mall Budget, there was lately to be
seen u lutte animal wearing coat on
which was inscribed the name and adj
dress of a restaurant. and similar ex-
pedent has been adopted by halter In
Shoreditch.
A purveyor in Finsbury has improved
upon that, however. He sends into the
street a fine dog carrying in his mouth q
stick on which number of handbills are
hung, and the docile creature willingly
allows the passer- by to take one of these
bills.
A difficulty comes in occasionally when
other dogs interfere with the bill-distrib-
utor, who has sometimes to stand on the
defensive, dropping his advertisements
meanwhile. But lie picks them up again
when the little atfray is over and rushes
to the attendant with very salts fed air.

SELF-DISFRANCHISED.
Waited for the Court, and There is
None on Legal Holiday.

Judge Ljppincott, after careful ex-
animation of the law. decided that the
Court could not sit today because it is a
legal holiday, and its acts would be no
more legal than they would if Court Were
held on Sunday.
The Court quoted from the statutes
and decisions to confirm this opinion.
The would-be voters heard the decision
in silence and then departed for their
homes, repenting their carelessness in
not attending to their duty before.
Deputy County Clerk Fisher said he
supposed that there would have been two
hundred applications made today for
naturalization papers and certificates en-
titling men TO vote if the Court had been
open to receive them.

AORYING NEGD OF THE NAVY.

Give Us American Sailors-An Efficient
Apprentice System.
While Congress has been so gener-
GUS in legislating the new navy into ex-
istence, the personneI-both officers and
men-has been almost entirely neglect
ed The majority of the officers are
the times. The requirements of naval
science are now so great, and its develop
ments so rapid, that they must apply
themselves diligently during every spare
moment. The student age is long past
for most of them, but in spite of their
years, the esprit de corps Is such that
they will not be found wanting when the
hour of trial comes.
With the men it will be different, un-
less some change of policy occurs. Our
crews are still largely composed of the
drsgs of all nations. The necessities of
the service prevent any but a physical
standard for enlistments; aud nationality,
intelligence, age aud moral character
are not considered. Congress should
realize that new vessels and new guns
are incompetent to efend the national
honor. unless they are efficiently manned .
The ability of our officers cannot bring
success in the next naval war, unless
there is more trained intelligence among
their subordinates.
In former wars we looked to the mer-
chant marine and fishing fleet for our
needed volunteers, and they were an etfi-
cient reliance. But with the modern war
ship the fisherman and the merchant sea
| man would not be any more valuable as q
recruit than landsman of greater iutei-
ligence, who could be more quickly
trained as gunner or torpedoist.
There is consensus of opinion among
naval officers regarding our unfortunate
position: but they seem to differ widely
as to the manner OF improving it. Logical
reasoning, and the experience of foreign
navies, should convince us that there is
but one solution. We must take intelli-
Rence in theformative period and train it
to meet our necessities. We must have
an efficient apprentice system .--Lteuteft-
ant A. p Wvckof, u. S. N, In NoUem-

A ouestionabie Advantage.

Lord Houghton said of himself;-"H Hav-
ing no duties to perform. am obliged to
put up with pleasure" People are said
to be in "easy circumstances" and well
off, when they have not TO work for q
living; but this is very questionable adj
vantage. The ''pains aud penalties OF
idleness" soon teach rs that we are really
bad off, and in by no means easy circum-
stances when we have nothing to do.
But, indeed, it is impossible to do Moth
ing. We must either work usefully or do
mischief Now, as it is not every one
that can inveut useful work for himself,
it is far happier for us to nave some Beces-
sary employment. Recreation after
work is good, but "a life of pleasure is q
life OF pain.'
