Dewey's report on Admiral
Schley. The head of the
army and the head of the
navy have the approval of the
people. whether the presi-
dent likes it or not. For the
last three years many officers
of the army and navy, high
and low in rank, have made a
specially of furnishing cam
paign material for the repub-
lican party. giving opinions
or political matters continual
ly. They were never rebuked
but when one of them was un-
fortunate enough, like Gen.
Chas. King, to say something
not altogether pleasing, he
heard from headquarters.
The army and the navy have
been used as campaign adj
juncts, and one of Gen.
Miles, troubles is that he was
opposed to that sort of thing.
If Roosevelt keeps on, he will
succeed in making Miles a
very popular man, and Teddy

Cherbourg, France, October 1, and has
since touched at Funchal, Teneriffe,
Montevideo, La Plata, Martinique, Qua

Annapolis in the order given. The Naval
academy was an object lesson to the
young men on board, as well as interest

GERS, who were made acquainted with
the intention of our government to make
it the greatest school of it's kind in the

cording to the scheme embodied in Ed

grocer of Nashua has purchased a farm
of two hundred acres bordering on the
Merrimac river, and there intends to put
into effect plan that has been near his
heart two years, which he evolved from
the works of the late Mr. Bellamy. The
land is alluvial and therefore promising
of generous harvests. There are thir-
teen rooms in the house, an unlucky
number. but, as they are all in perfect
repair, the purchaser may we'll overlook

Before the last meeting Of the Philadel-
phia Franklin institute Edwin Balch
read an interesting paper upon "Antarc-
tica.' In the course of his remarks the
speaker called especial attention to the
part played by American navigators in
the discovery Of the Antartic land mass.
Probably the first person to sight the
land that guards the South Pole was the
American sealer Palmer. On January
Is, 1910. Commodore Wilkes sighted
land south of Australia, and followed it
for some GO degrees of longitude. On re-
turning to Sidney Commodore Wilkes an
nounced his discovery to the secretary
of the navy in letter dated March II,
1910. His discoveries are among the
most brilliant of the American navy, al.
though Sir James Ross, who in the fol.
lowing year also explored the South Pc
Ter regions, and named Victoria Land,
did all he could to discredit Wilkes. A
comparison of the reports of Wilkes,
published in 1916, and that of Ross,
printed in 1S47, proves Ross assertions
to be unfounded. Therefore, at this time,
when all eyes are directed to Antarctica,
Americans should not lose sight OF
Wilkes Land and it's discoverer.

A late consular report, that Of Mr.
Guenther of Frankfort, mentions a new
phase of trade possible from America to
Europe. He says that committee on
grape vine culture Of the Agricultural
Society Of Rhenish Hessen has reported
that thorough practical experiments
should be made with the planting Of
American grape vines in that section, in
asmuch as experience has shown that
the hybrids produced by crossing Euro
pean and American vines will play an
important role in grape culture as soon
as the quality Of the product becomes
sufficiently valuable. But the we'll
known phylloxera expert, Mr.. bosch,
has just published long article in the
Hessian Agricultural Journal, in which
he declares himself as decidedly opposed
to the views Of the aforementioned COM
mittee.

CERTIFICATE OF SANITY.
How an Englishman Held His Job on

Men on newspapers often have Pc

time TIM! ago. The friend in question was
city editor, Of great daily, and in the

ers. The reporter in question was an
Englishman, slow Of thought and action
and miserly of speech. Through the IT,
rade to which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he left
the presence of his superior without any
comment. But, as the result proved, he
did some tall thinking. City editors
when 'riled,' as is well known, are not
particularly choice or economical ia the
language they bestOw on their unfortu-
nate reporters, and among other things
the Englishman had been told that he
was no better than-in fact, was-a
crazy man, and that his proper habitat
was a lunatic asylum and not the hall
bedroom of a Chicago boarding house
which he occupied. The Englishman
took this part Of the city editors re-
marks as his text and acted upon them.
He promptly went to an asylum, had
himself thoroughly examined by three or
four alienists and secured from them an
official certificate to the fact that he was
sane. With this he appeared at the Of

An English Tribute to Hawthorne.

To me Americans never seem to make
half enough Of Hawthorne. What more
can they possibly want, what more would
they have? An American to the back
bone, in every fiber of his being, jealously
American, fercely American, ready to
hate Britisher or to love him as ration
al occasion prompts or demands, but find
ing hatred always a little the easier Of
the two, the master Of style so exquisite
that nothing is too delicate, too shadowy,
too evanescent to escape from it's meshes,
his lingering of that good instrument, the
English, is so perfect that not note is
robbed Of it's particular music, while for
eloquence, sheer, glowing eloquence, he
has had no riva; for century. His fan
cy, his imagination, his feeling for
things, for the beauty or horror of things,
all the charms of places, all the riches Of
association, are they not his after a meas
ure as much above praise as beyond imi-
tation? It is to me matter of extraor-
diary satisfaction that Hawthorne was
the first real author ever set eyes on.
He was pointed out to me in street in
Liverpool. l only knew him then as the
author of ''Tanglewood Tales" but it
was enough. He was the best-looking
author I have ever seen.-London Spec
