Common Sense.

l never saw a man so smart
That when you got right near
You didn't feel down in his heart,
A strike that's kind o. queer.
A poor man wastes his little share,
A rich man skimps his pence.
The thing that's needed everywhere
Is just plain common sense.
The greatest genius will dismay
With foibles that distress
And in his vanity display
A downright foolishness.
For power and wealth and wit and
ease
My wishes are intense,
But more than each or all Of these
pray for common sense.

BRITISH NAVY DRESS REFORM.
Sailors Will No Longer Make Their
Own Clothes.

From the London Chronicle.
1t is understood In British naval circles
that Admiral Sir John Fisher is about to
introduce reform in the matter of cloth
ing that Is probably only the preliminary
step toward the abolition of what has long
been one of Jacks most burdensome griev-
ances.
So far the mems clothing have been pro-
vided almost entirely at their own cost
upon a plan that was explained the other
day by an official at the marine and naval
clothing store department, Deptford
ITO begin with he said, "the proposed
reform will apply only to trousers. Under
the present regulations whenever neces-
sary the cloth is issued to the men, VINO
have either to make 1t up themselves or
pay another man for the work. That in IT.
self of course, is hard enough. When one
remembers that the army is clothed at the
expense of the nation, 1t seems rather rldl-
culous that the cost of naval clothing
should have to be deducted from the men s
pay. $3.50
But that is not the worst of it. Although
there is a regulation pattern, such a detail
as the width of the bell of mans trous-
ers is entirely a matter depending upon the
taste OF the individual captains. One oft1-
Ger may prefer that the trousers should be
narrow. The result is that man transfer
red to that vessel may have TO supply MINI
self with new toys simply for the sake or
ii
still greater hardship when you remember
that even name ribbons may have to be
changed perhaps two or three times in
month--transfers are sometimes as fire.
Quent-a serious matter, considering that
each ribbon costs 10 pence though the man
might buy it in the shops at Portsmouth
for pence.
II don't know that under Admiral Fish
er's scheme there Will be any radical
change in the uniforms. The trousers will
be all the same width, and transfer to an
other ship will therefore involve no altera-
ton"
Nothing has been heard of the proposed
change in any of the army clothing depart
ments and il is therefore believed that the
work will be placed in the hands of con-
tractors.
AS the matter stands at present, the men
will still have to pay for their uniforms.
But the new regulations will undoubtedly
be great saving to the men. The uniform
is also to be designed on more handy"
lines and will therefore be more tight fit
ting than the style at present in vogue.

The New Woman.
From Good Housekeeping.

from Good iOnseheepIng-
The new woman is simply the one who,
by experience, education and common
sense, is qualified TO make the largest and
best use of her capabilities. She is more
delightfully."- feminine than ever-the attrac-
tions of her womanhoOd more charming.
But she is both disciple and apostle of the
gospel of health. She is gradually breaking
down the terrible conventionality that has
bound woman to styles of dress methods OF
life and inane activity OF mind and body
which heretofore fettered her fullest devel-
opment Her marvellous individuality seeks
more freedom Of growth and expression.
Nature makes no two individuals alike,
either animate or inanimate, and the new
woman would follow this universal law to
a reasonable extent rather than submit to
repression of her individuality down to the
dead level of uniformity. Yet this individ-
uality is attained with a tact, feminnity,
an intuit!ve appreciation of public senti-
ment, which is as delicious as II is effective
