Flaws in the English Service

From the New York Times.
 We are so used to hearing our reformed civil service sneered at as a British im-
 portation that it is interesting to note that
 our elder brothers are having some trou-
 bles very like our own report has
 just been submitted by a royal commits
 sion of inquiry, after several years of
 patient and thorough investigation. Since
 one of the matters that demanded atten-
 ton was the abuse of 'patronage' in the
 considerable number of cases exempted
 from competitive tests for appointment
 and promotion, it is pleasant to note that
 the commission was in a strict sense non
 partisan. In like spirit, the question of
 women employees being involved, two
 women-one the gifted sister of Lord Hal
 dane, the lord high chancellor-were ap-
 pointed to the commission.
 The main conclusion reached by the commission is that the general principle of competitive lists for appointment has proved sound and useful in practice and
 that it should gradually be extended as far and as rapidly as possible. It is found that exceptions are requisite in two classes of cases. First, where places of special difficulty are to be filled requiring peculiar knowledge. for which applicants of sufficient qualifications do not gener- ally present themselves. Second. where places are to be filled which by long established custom are regarded as the patronage of particular officers. In these cases it is recommended that the appoint ing officers shall place on public record a statement of the career, character and qualifications of the appointee and of the reasons why exemption from competition seems advisable. In some cases the as- sent of the civil service commission is required in all cases the commission is entitled to detailed information. The gen. eral purpose is to impose on the appoint | ing power as direct and effective respon- l sibility as possible for the character of appointments
 One point of particular interest is raised. The commission urges that ex-
 aminations in all grades should not be framed solely or chiefly to test the knowl- edge of applicants as to the specific du- 1 ties they will have to perform, but should l be adjusted to the education available for 1 the class from which they are drawn. 1 This suggestion is intended to check the tendency to "cramming' that has become i prevalent and has been stimpulated by | the civil service preparatory schools. The aim is to frame the examinations to dis close general intelligence and aptitude and also to influence the schools by providing more definite objectlves for instruction

and it comes running on. It stops again. Rifles are up. Poor Teddy will never pass. The being that Is in him is to be released for another reincarnation. A noise more wicked than the yell of the hundred beat CTS fills the jungle. Another-and Teddy has ceased to wonder what the annoying row is all about. In an instant there Is a chashing like a cavalry charge among the bamboo, and a herd of sambhar deer rush past. Among them is one of proud antler- ed head, and he, too, is broken and crush- ed by the same wicked bang. The beat CTS come up and burst into babel of confused noise. The sun is very hot, and we come down and fling ourselves in the the shade.
 Next day there was a difference. A peacock rose up from the bush well ahead and perched on a tree; the monkeys coughed as they came on. The sworn enemies of the terror of the jungle were telling every one whom 1t might concern that he was on the move. Then we saw him. The first glimpse of a tiger, free in the jungle is one of the most exhilarating of experiences. He comes amongst the bamboos with regal leisure. erect grace full, imperious. He seems but half awake, and if you are very fastidious you see the one touch of vulgarity about him in his yawn. He occasionally shows an irritat- ed impatience when the chorus of the beat swells and he then moves some paces quickly. as though he would break into a run. But his whole mien seems to. resent hurry. His ferocity sleeps in hisl grace. There are to be few seconds of fierce passion and pain when the jungle is to be filled with his roars after the rifles of the sahibs have spoken. But that is forgotten, and the tiger lives in one s memory as the conscious tyrant of the jungle beautiful for the eye to look upon.

 New York hotel men are out in in terviews favoring white clothes for men during the summertime. Most of the hotels conduct 1aundries. but aside from this their proprietors are giving good advice. Palm beach, white fan nel etc. are almost taboo in Manhat- tan and many men wear double breast- ed coats and keep them buttoned while they smile at femininity's transpar- encies and eliminations. In other words, We smile, admire and perspire while the women dress comfortably and don't care who sees through their little scheme to ward off heat prostrations.
 Yes. we have at last reached the torrid course of the atmospheric menu. but what difference does that make? Of cJnrse few people here and there bid hurried farewells to all this earthly folly as result of haunting super humid places, but the vast majority merely change their form of amuse- ment trifle. Afternoon dancing is a bit less popular, but the evenings still bring forth the tangoing multitudes. They are even doing it on the sands of the seashore, right in the very pres ence of the sad sea waves"

Secured a Jungle for Feared Tiger

From the London Chronicle.
 We are out of tiger. The footprints of
 two have been noticed in the nullhas of
 the neighborhood and we have kills"
 out every night. But no cheerful news
 Is brought in by the forest officers in
 the morning. So we give a wide berth
 to the blocks where the tiger footprints
 are and we beat elsewhere. You get
 upon small platform in a tree with
 somewhat clear space in front of you and the beaters draw off and line up about a mile away Then, with shouts and yells they move forward toward you. Faint over the trees at first comes their din, but in your immediate neghborhood there Is silence Your part is to keep still, to watch and listen and wait for the time and opportunity to kill. The excitement is intense. Your hear your heart beat. A leathery teak leaf falls rustling to the ground, a bough cracks, tree shudders. The least noise is sharpened as though it came to your ears through micro phone
 Presently another kind of noise comes the noise of hurry feet among the brit tie leaves, and you see things moving, coming sealthily toward you. Peacocks glide from cover to cover, jungle fowl rush across the open space and are gone. A heavier rustic announces the monkeys funny, bounding things, with their long l tails, jumping and waiting waiting and l jumping, scurrying after their tiny lag gards, and spurring them on. They, too, disappear 9ehind But something bigger
 and blaeker comes waggling amid the bamboo It rises every now and again and sways it's head from side to side.
 There is big yell from far behind 1t,

Rumors of Royalty

Wherever one goes these evenings the Royalties are under discussion and you have to listen to all sorts of rumors. At a dinner party the other night, where one of the guests was a member of the household, il was said that the Prince of Wales is in such abjeet terror of appear ing in public that it would be real char ity if he were allowed to abdicate in favor of his second brother. Albert, who is a lively youth and doesn't care two etraws for anyone. We are so stuck on the eldest son in our stodgy traditional way, that the notion would be frightfully unpopular and of course the King and Queen would be extremely distressed at suck a thing But when all is said and done it would really be about the best that could happen.
 It seems it was a question of settle ments that upset the Battenberg-Tor Engagement. The daughters of the Grand
