pou Brouqht His Friend.

An English lady, who had been from
home some time, was recently greeted
on her return by the old sheep dog
with great delight. So pleased was
the animal that he at once went off
to farm seven miles away to sum-
mon another dog-an old chum-to

dog was blind, and, after the introduc-
ton, was taken back safely by its ca
nine friend.

Reports of an attempt to reinstate
slavery into Papua recall the fact that
the name was bestowed on the island
by the Malays and means "frizzled,"
in reference to the hair of the inhabi-
tants. 1t is generally supposed that
Papua or New Guinea was originally
part of the mainland Of Australia. 1t
was discovered by the Portuguese in
1926, though it was probably sighted
by A. Dabreu during his voyage ID
years earlier. The Australian govern
ment, realizing the danger that would
arise if an enemy seized land so near
their coasts, frequently urged Eng
land to annex the eastern portion of
the island, and after two or three
unauthorized annexations a British
protectorate was established there In
1884.

approve the recommendations of
the general board for the in
crease of the navy calling especial
attention to the need of addt-
tional destroyers and golfers, and above
ak, of the four battleships. 1t is desir-
able to complete as soon as possible a
squadron of eight battleships of the best
existing type.
| most earnestly recommend that the
general board be by law turned into a
general staff. There is literally no eX-
cuse whatever for continuing the pres
ent bureau organization of the navy, The
navy should be treated as a purely mill
tary organization, and everything should
be subordinated to the one object of Sc
curing military efficiency, A system
Of promotion by merit, either by selec-
ton or by exclusion, or by both
processes, should be introduced. 1t is out
of the question. IL the present principle
of promotion by mere seniority Is kept
to expect to get the best results from the
higher officers. Our men come too old,
and stay for too short a time, In the nigh
command positions.
Nothing better for the navy from every
standpoint has ever occurred than the
cruise Of the battle fleet around the
world. The Improvement Of the ships in
every way has been extraordinary, and
they have gained far more experience
In battle tactics than they would rave
gained IL they had stayed In the Atlantic
waters. The American people hnys cause
for profound qualification, both in view
Of the excellent condition Of the fleet as
shown by this cruise. and in view Of the
Improvement the cruise has worked IN
