FROM OTHER PENS
OUR UNFORTUNATE NAVY.

Sixty-one officers and men killed in
five accidents since January IT, 1903
this is the sad story of the navy's bat
tleships. In each case the scene has
been the turret of a battleship. Nine
men were killed on the Massa chusetts,
f1ve on the Iowa. thirty-two on the
Missouri, seven on the Kearsarge, and
now eight or more on the Georgia. In
addition the muzzles of three guns of
the Iowa were blown off on two &C.
casions. fortunately without loss of life.
This Is sickening record, particularly
by contrast with the navy's immunity
hostilities in the Philippines. The
heavy armored cruisers and the mont
tors have gone through their target
practice unscathed and. what is even
more striking, accidents of just this
kind do not seem to occur on foreign
battleships. We do not recall a SINH
lar disaster in the German or French
navfes. and the English service has
their losses of life in other ways-by
the explosion of a magazine on the
French battleship Jena, by the sinking
of torpedo boats. submarines, etc. OBJ

Chesterfield SuperficiaIity.

ChesterfGid's idea of excellence was essentially superficial, for his praise of solid requirement and genuine princl- ple is always coupled with the asser- tion of their entire inutility if unac- companied by grace, external polish and an agreeable manifestation. He omits all consideration of their in trinsic worth and absolute dignity. Their value to the individual, accord ing to him. is wholly proportioned to his skill in using them in a social form.
 In one of his earlier letters to Philip Stanhope he writes: What an advan- tagc has a graceful speaker with gen teel motions, handsome figure, over one who shall speak full as much good sense, but who is destitute of these ornaments! In business how prevalent are the graces. how detrimental is the want of them. If you should not ac- quire manners, all the rest will be of little use to you. By manners I mean engaging. insinuating. shining man. ners, a distinguished politeless. an al- most irresistible address. a superior gracefulness in all you say and do" He would have manners overlay fndi- vIduaIity and goes so far as tO declare that q soldier is q brute, q scholar q pedant and q philosopher cynic with out good brpeding.-LOndon Standard.

An amateur astronomer writes of the "lady in the moon;" Tt is a very beau tiful face seen in profile and uplifted, Gs though in proud disdain of things terrestrial. The curve of the throat is exquisite, and indeed the entire outline is marvelously lifelike. The moon lady may best be observed throu q small opera glass when our satellil> s at half At that time the tip of the chin about touches the tcrminator- that is, the dividing line between the light and dark portions of the lunar surface. Most people can recognize the man in the moon. Well, the hair of the lady, in which can always fan cy I see a spray of orange blossom, forms the mans left eye, the nose and mouth his nose, and the chin and throat the mans mouth."
