CHINESE SENSE OF HUrlOR.

tells of a dinner party, given by Amer

chanced to be present one guest who
was completely master of the language
of the country.
He soon discovered that the native
walters. in directing each other whom
10 serve. We're speaking Of their en-
ployers by nicknames, far from re-
spectful, such as were suggested by
their personal appearance.
Each guest as is the custom in China,
had brought his own servant with him.
After the walters had retired and the
gentlement were enjoying their coffee.
the man who had understood the talk
of the servants entertained the com
pany by telling them what he had
heard There was much laughter over
his revelations: but n young Scotch
man present observed that his nick
name was not mentioned among tho
others and determined to find OUT
what il might be from his own boy
after they had reached home.
When he got him into the room he
locked the door. stood with his back 10
IL. and told the badly scared servant
he would not let him out until ne con-
fessed. BY dint of coaxing and threats
he finally induced the frightened Chi
naman 10 blurt out that il was Gods

The entire appropriateness or the
nickname ovcrcame him. and he shout
cd with laughter making the htncss
still more apparent.
one of the funniest parts of the ar
fair was. afterward, to watch the faces
of his friends when he told them tho
story. which he did many times and
often. Their sense of politeness woulo
make them struggle bravely not To
laugh. but when, having reached the
climax. he bestowed upon them thd

The disaster To the Mohegan, how

without it's lessons. OF course II was
Immensely gratifying that British sail

ever been self-sscrificing in devotion TO
duty. to their ship. TO the weaker be-
ings intrusted to their care. Following
the story OF La Bourgogne. that of the
Mohegan is impressive as renewing our
confidence In the sailor man by con-
trast. The manhood displayed by the
sailors OF the Mohegan is an inspira-
tion. the evidence OF II a matter for re-
joicing. II is safe TO say that the first
thought that came To most Of US when
the disaster was reported was. How
did the crew behave?' And to answer
tbat question satisfactorily to a world
despairing Of sailor manhood after La
Bourgogne. the men OF the Mohegan
gave their lives.

SMOKING IN WASHINGTON.

For the past five or six years there
has been but very little smoking in the
departments as far as clerks are con-
cerned" remarked a chief of bureau
of the interior department to Star re-
porter. land clerks have found out that
cigar or pipe smoking is not absolutely
necessary, as many of them supposed
il to be. Almost ever since the depart
ments have been established no smok"
ing has been the rule, but il was like
many other rules, more honored in the
breach than observance. Every now
and then spasmodic efforts were made
10 stop smoking, but they were never
persisted in. and as changes came along
the matter was allowed to rest. For
the past six years, however, there mas
been "a constant warfare on smokers
and they have about yielded. though
not without making determined fight.
While IL was a frequent thing TO SEQ
the clerks smoking years ago, notwith-
standing the rule prohibiting II, IL II
very rare nowadays To observe any
violation. The same is the experience
i'm the treasury department, once IA
nous for il smokers. as we'll as the
navy department, almost equally SO. L
am not sure that any great harm was
done by smoking, though IL was at
times somewhat annoying to non
smokers. but the effect OF IL was bad
upon visitors I'm the departments. They
often went away with the idea that the
clerks spent the greater part Of their
day reading newspapers and smoking
cigars. which was an entirely errone-
Gus one. for my experience and observa-
ton for twenty-three ysars has beer
that the smokers in any department.
were not one-sixth OF the entire num-
ber. The occasional visitor got an ex-
aotly opposite idea OF IL. He thought
f've-sixths were smokers The commits
sloner Of pensions has effectually
stopped smoking i'm the pension office.
which was rather n difficult job. for
many of the clerks there thought that
from the fact that they were In tho
army thirty-five or more years ago
regulation could not be made which
would be strong enough 10 make them
give up smoking during office hours

'TWIxr YOU AND M e.

Seems TO me lively discussion is
threatened over grammar school super
visors.
According to my friend Col Joe"
Kendrick, a grammar school supervi-
sor is person employed at salary Of
$1,000 a year TO tell $4,000 grammar
school principals how to run their busi-
ness.
This suggests that the grammar
school supervisor may be one of those
frills we have been hearing so much
about lately.
In the scheme of the school organi-
zation the grammar school supervisor

i should think il doubtful If she is
worth so much.
AT any rate a little discussion of her
case won't do her any harm, or the
schools
But the claim that grammar school
supervisors are necessary To supervise
the work of the grammar school teach
ers suggests that if the system still
lacks i'm efficiency there should be APP
pointed a corps of supervisors TO super
wise the grammar school supervisors
The plan would not add greatly to
the cost of the school system. since on
the principle that the supervisors get
only $1,000 for supervising $4,000 teachers

And pursuing this plan logically
to clinch the system. there could next

Everybody. expert and inexpert. has
given up trying to demonstrate how the
Atlantic transport liners ship Mohegan
came to go on the rocks at the Man
acles, on the south coast OF England.
The captain and whatever officers may
have been cognizant OF the course that
night perished. and all that can be rea-
soned from the circumstances attend
ing the disaster is that some such tenn
porary alteration as afflicted the Ad-
miral of the British Mediterranean feet
when he directed the magnificent Vic
toria broadside on 10 the prov of the
Camperdown caused the running of the
Mohegan off her course and on to the
rocks en- clear night when no espe-
cial navigating skill was required to en-
sure her safety in the passage. Fol
lowing SO closely upon the sinking of
La Bourgogne off our own coast. the
loss OF the Mohegan created something
like reign OF terror at seagoing on
both sides of the Atlantic, which the
absence of a satisfactory explanation
OF the latter as the peculiar horrors
associated with the former encouraged
greatly. The always possible accident
is particularly impressive when 1t finds
no explanation, and accordingly there
is special Incentive TO clear up the
mystery Of disaster like that of the
Mohegan. But except for unsatisfy-
ing theories, the mystery seems now
to be abandoned as inexplicable. and
the story of the Mohegan is to be
cIassed with the lists of sea disasters
where ship. crew and passengers have
vanished without leaving even a record
of the date or place of their going
down.

imperillei passengers on the ship. This
is a new suggestion and will doubtless
receive a ready response. But another
that Mr.. Hyslop mentions Is as old as
seafaring, and, although IL has been
pointed by disaster after disaster for
many years. IL somehow fails TO effect
a reform. That is The question OF life
boats and the means and methods OF
their quick and safe launching There
are plenty OF inventions and patent
tackles designed to expedite and safe
guard the launching of the life boat,
but II any OF these are practical
they have not been adopted generally,
II at an. The life boat Of today on the
average ship is hardly different from
what IL was years ago II is, with in
considerable Improvement, rugged for
launching i'm the same way that fire.
quent disaster has proved TO be fatally
cumbersome. When the sudden call
comes. something is inevitably found to
block the launching. ship rigging and
furnishing has been vastly improved In
the past decade. but the life boat and
it's tackle are as unreliable I'm the hour
OF need as VIGOROUSLY they have al
ways been. The story is an old one and
il is repeated with every disaster at sea.
But as on the Mohegan the failure of
the life boats was especially marked by
reason of no lack OF skill and courage
on the part of the crew. ii would seem
that the steamship people would be
moved to give energetic attention to
this important part of the ships equip
ment.
