Naval Officers Well Paid.

An English writer compares the paw
of American naval officers with that of
similar officers abroad. An American
admiral draws, he says, $4,000 a year.
while about $4,000 is allotted to the
same rank in Great Britain, and $4,000
in Germany; and all other grades of
officers are paid equally we'll in pro-
portion.

An employee of a brokerage firm
about to go abroad for a brief vacation,
was considering whether he would pay
for a first class passage on the steamer,
or travel second class and thereby save
about $3.50. His dilemma reached the
ears of n Of his principals, who I'M

character, and hesitated about ravel-

expected him to do SO. until he got the
advice Of a friend-'it pays to travel
first class"
On his way over to Glasgow he met
as a travelling companion a silk manu-
facturer from Paterson, N. j. In the
course of the 10 days voyage they had
many heart to heart talks, from which
the silk mill owner learned what the
young man had accomplished for the
thread manufacturers and the object Of
his trip to Scotland. Finally the silk
manufacturer asked him what salary
he was getting. and he frankly an
