The Proposed Naval Parade.
(NeW Y Ork Times.)

It is doubtful if the navy will be greatly disheartened by the possibil- ity that, about Washington's birthday, the condition of the Culebra Gut will not be such as to permit the safe passage of the larger ships of the At lantic fleet through the Panama canal to take part in the opening of the San Francisco exposition. Naval of ficers habitually refrain from public criticism of official orders, but there have been rumors of discomfort over the prospective waste of time and money in mere display and naval junketing which might better be expended in practice. It has been suggested that the new dreadnought New York, fully officered and manned, and accompanied by few smaller vessels, would serve admira bly, to rep resent the American fleet in Pacific waters at the opening of the eNposi- tiOn, and that, in view of the ex- traordinary complications which have developed of late and the urgent need of practice With the big guns, the San Francisco authorities might we'll be satisfied with some curtailment of their naval programme. which was arranged 9 year or moro ago.
 Next Sunday or Monday the Allan tic fleet will proceed to Cuban wa ters for practice. As so many of the ships were kept at Vera Cruz all through the summer and fall. there have been few opportunities for gun nery though Admiral Fletcher managed to keep some of the war vessels moving and the men in active sea training a good part of the time. It was hoped that six weeks might be devoted to practice this winter, but the orders are to assemble at Hampton Roads early in February for the start of the big parade through the canal. According to the present arrangements all the larger battle ships, as well as a large number of cruisers, and many smaller craft as we'll are to be In this big parade But if the open passage through the Gu
 lehra Cut will be only % feet wide at the time fixed for the fleets pas sage, it is not likely that an attempt will be made to get more than one dreadnought through.

The We'll Dressed Man.

(Robert Lloyd Thevor in Vanity Fair)
 Some time ago, but not so long ago that the day may not be remembered by the oldest inha bitant, the shirt makers were, vulgarly speaking, "up against it. It was then the manu- facture7's ambition to make money, Instead of to improve the appearance of a somewhat reckless public, as they now love to do. There was a group of them sitting late one night
 in the lobby of one of our biggest hotels-or perhaps they were in the bar-and they worried, round by round, over the fact that although people bought shirts, they didn't buy enough shirts. The problem was to invent some shirt that would sell it. self by virtue of it's novelty. It was an ugly situation And as they worried so their spirits went down.
 History does not relate how long they sat there. The important fact is that the meeting was finally broken ur by a member of the party jumping to his feet, waving his arms and shouting: I've got lt.' What he had got, no one could discover, because he immediately fled. But week later he put on the market the first shirts with soft cuffs The innovation was success. All his competitors followed suit-in his hurry he had forgotten to patent his invention-and for years the market was inundated with soft cuff shirts. Everybody bought them because everybody else did, and be- cause the makers said they were com fortable and handsome.
 The vogue of the soft cuff has been immense, but at last it is on the wane, and I for one am glad to report the fact. The soft cuff was not hand some; it was hot in summer; it crumpled in an hour or two; it ab- sorbed, like a sponge, every atom of dust with which it came in contact and was altogether, far from desir- able. It has begun to go The stiff cuff is coming into it's own again And men who dress according to the dictates of sense and cleanliness and practicability are wearing it quite cx- tensively.

Common as it is, the real danger of the crowded car as we know 1t in these parts, has not been generally realized. Only the discomfort of it appeals to most of those who suffer it. They mourn the hardship of hanging suspended by a trap, of be- ing pressed like sardines in a box of being jostled and mauled and tired when they have a right to room and a seat. But that is far from being the worst of it. Not only are seventy five persons sometimes confined in B space where there are seats for less than fifty but they are made to breathe a quantity of air which hard ly suffices for fifty.-New Haven Re- gister,
