What Responsibility Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made commander he be-
gins to carry stick, and as soon as
a commander becomes a captain he
turns religious" For justification of
the latter part Of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious-minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things Of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study Of matters connected with their
calling One well-known oaDtain there
