Captain McB-. a canny Scot. was
once In command Of a troopship re-
turning from India, On board he had
as passengers three ladies. all wives Of
officers in her majesty's service.
Now. 1t fell out that the cabin al
lotted to them was fitted up TO accom-
nodate four, and consequently it con-
tanned four wash basins, one OF which
was far larger than the other three.
For the right to use this especial
basin each lady put forth her claim,
citing her husbands position il the
army. But the husbands, unfortunate
ly. all proved to be of equal rank, so
10 cllnch the matter the trio bearded
the captain In his cabin.
I'VE Will leave II entirely to you,
captain" they said, and abide by Your
decision"
Captain McB- cogltated duly and
then declared solemnly, with the faint
est twinkle in bis gray eyes:
"Leddies, rs It is no q matter O rank,
: think il wuil be that The oldest
anang We sud have n bcesest bowl"
With murmurcd thanks they filed out
again. but that basin was never used
during the voyage.-Spare Moments.

Peril In stamp Boxes.

4. girl l know is betrothed to a
young officer in the navy. and as Ills
birthday Is near AZ hand she has
bought a pretty little stamp box In sill
YER to give to him, but she is not going
TO give it to him, after all.
Daughter" her father said to her.
"if you wish that young man well.
never give him q stamp box. You
couldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. A man would better carry
dynamite than stamps. One Of the
bravest officers in the navy has been
for 20 years paying the penalty of his
folly In carrying stamps. Everybody
knows who he is. Years ago be re-
ceiyed an order from the department
which d~!spleascd him very much. he
knew to whom he owed It, and he sat
himself down that same night and e&-
pressed himself frankly on paper 10 the
mar ne blamed for the obnoxious or
der. BE had a stamp, and 50 ne sent
the letter of In that lights mail. II
he hadn't had q stamp. he would not
have mailed the letter till morning. and
If he had kept II till morning led new
e. have sent It at all and he would not
have paid the penalty Of 'sassing' the
department.
Don't send the young man a stamp
box. The officer I've been telling you
about says that his experience taught
him neve to carry stamps, but the
trouble about the wisdom experience
brings Is hat It usually comes too late
10 be Of any use. Don't encourage the
young man to carry stamps. 1t isn't
safe."-Washington Post.

CONFUSING THE SURVEYORS.
District Street Work Hampered ID,
Mischievous Persons.

For some time past the employees of the
Engineer Department of the District gov

their work by the practice of some mis-
chieyous persons who follow the surveyors
and confuse them by marking the streets
and sidewalks with chalk at various places
IN the same manner as is done by the Dis
trict employees. In some cases this prac-
tice has necessitated entire new surveys
which take up 2 great deal OF valuable time
and seriously hinder the completion of the
work The officers Of the Engineer Depart
nent state that IL often happens that when
they are about 10 proceed with street i'm
proyements OF in laying out parkings they
have found half a dozen or more chalk
marks exactly alike, and it is impossible
for them TO distinguish the one by which
they are to be guided.
The matter was referred to the Chief OF
Police 81 soon as ii was discovered and
request was made FOR some relief. The only
thing-to be done, according 10 Major Syl-
vester vas 70 amend the police regulations
in such manner as 10 make il a mis-
GcmcaEor 10 place any mark whatever on
the streets which could possibly be mis-
taken for a surveyors guide. The amend
meut was submitted 10 the Attorney for the
District and in an opinion rendered yester-
day il was declared 10 be in legal form
Ii is probable that the amendment will be
ordered as soon as the Commissioners have
officially adopted it at their next board
meeting.
