STRANGE PICTURE OF AMERICA

Opinion of q Weii-KnoWn Swiss Writer-A
 Mixture of Truth and Fiction.
 i well-hnown Swiss writer, who vis- tied the worlds fair and was then forced to remain here for some time on account of illness, has joined the long list of foreigners for whom America" has been favorite subject for ''disser- tation.n In a recent issue of the Neue 1ulicher Zeitung, orc of the most fa- mous Swiss journals. under the head line, What is American he wrote: America is a land compared with which Europe Is only a peninsulaI the United States forms & country coms pared with which the European king doms are pygnies, Amerieais the land of unmeasured distances and dimen- sions the land of dollars and electric ityi the land where the prairies are more extensive, the rivers mightierg the waterfalls deeper, the bridges longer the lightning expresses faster, the catastrophes more terrible than in any other country in the world.

How many have gone from our peaceful home to the land of false hopes to seek riches, fortune and better life, and have been lost-either in the gut7 ters of the great cities or the sands of the prairies!

Taking Mems Places.

The British government has decided to remit the customary tax on certain dogs employed upon the south coast of Devon. These animals perform the work of swimming out to sea and catching hold of the rope thrown from the fishermens boats. They bring the line ashore, and thus enable the people who are waiting on the beach to pull the boat through the surf. The work Is very risky, and Nle shore Is so rocky that the fishermen would be utterly unable to get their boats In without the aid of the dogs, which are trained for the purpose. Everybody is ready to acknowledge with profound admira- ton the intelligence the faithfulness and the zeal of the eollie but these Devonshire dogs certainly run the shepherds servant and friend very close. To place such hard-working and useful members of the community T 6 par for fiscal purposes with the toy ter rier, the poodle or the pug would Es noth blunder and crime.

SEA SERVICE AND SHORE DUTY.
Considerations that Guide the Preferences
 of Naval Officers.

oi 4NstNai AfliAtHTa.
 One of the oldest features of that lit tie known annual, the United States navy register, is the record of each of- fieer's time of sea service. shore duty, and idleness. It seems at first thought that it must be the business of naval officer to go to sea, but as q matter of fact naval officers pass from one quarter to two-thires of their time ashore.
 The admirals are usually credited with from sixteen to twenty y-five years Of sea service, from fifteen and q half to twenty-four years of shore duty, and from two to ten years of idleness. The proportions in the case of com modores are much the same, and the time of captains at sea and ashore is pretty evenly divided on the average, with wide variations in cases, and from one to eleven years of idleness.
 The Heutenants of both grades have had from six to seventeen years at sea and from three to eleven ashore, with short periods of idleness. The ensigns, who are the lowest commissioned of acers Of the line. have seen from two to eleven years sea service and from one to eleven years shore duty, with periods of idleness varying from few months to year and half. The highest staff officers in the medical pay and engineer corps have nearly all passed many years more. ashore than at
