You’ve well-nigh ruin-ed yourself at home, and are now coming to fleece the fools you’ll find on shore.” The young man’s smile broadened; the next minute he turned grave again, lowered his voice, and replied: “Capt. Ewing, as you have studied me during this voyage, so I have studied you. I have come to the conclusion that you are a main to be trusted.

One of the “lessons 01’ ‘the war" is that the so-called naval powers of Eu- rope should overhaul their navies and find out just how many of Their ves- sels are obsolete. The effective strength of a navy is not increased but diminished by loading down the navy register'with ships that ought to be condemned, and it would probably as- *tonish every one of the European pow- ers to learn how much smaller their navies are ‘in effectiveness than in numbers.

The heads of 1110' boys in Baltimore average three or four sizes smaller than those of \Vash— ington, and it is knOwn t0 the cap trade that they can always get rid of any extra large sizes of boys’ caps by sending them to Washington. 1 have had a. recent experience in selling a boy’s cap. In Baltimore the sizes do- sired by the dealersran all 1.110 way from 6 to 6%, leaving me with :1 large lot of the larger sizes to dispose of. I found no difficulty in doing so, for no dealer here wanted anything smaller than 63/8, and wanted them all_thc'w:1y up to 7 and 71/2. The heads of the boys in Richmond are about the same as regards size as those in Baltimore. and they compare with the heads of the boys in Atlanta, Charleston. Sa- vannah, and New Orleans. In none of these cities could the larger sizes ordered in this city be scld. except in small quantities. The Chicago 1105' has a head as large as the “'zishinr ton boy. and so does the \‘cw York boy. but the Boston or Philadelphia boy has not. The W'ashingtou boy has the largest head in any 801th or Southwvstern city. and is only cqualctl in New York and Chicago.

Recently a very fam- ous woman, to whom the nation and the soldiers owe much, was in Wash- ington, and accepted an invitation ‘10 dine out on Columbia Heights. The hostess was so anxious that the din- ner should be a memorable affair that she wont in person to her father and begged two bottles of a certain pre- cious winc 11c had. the most precious of all his cellar.

Arches Valuable in Finding Nests Built on 6:.- Near the Ground. Dr. N. E. Jones, in “The Squirrel chos: a good little cooker-spaniel, who followed him and worked with him for eight summers in field and fores'r. To the industry and sagacity of this the success of a work entitled “Illus trations of the Nests and Eggs of Birds of Ohio.” Many of the small, rare birds build on or near the ground, in thick cover. and these nests Archos was especially valuable in finding. He knew the ob- ject of pursuit quite as well as his master, and WOuld stand firmly beside him, pointing, until his master could attend to the case. He evidently knew the meaning of . almost all the words used in ordinary conversation, and could transact busi- ness for which an order had been giv- en with admirable accuracy. Out one day quail shooting with a friend, Mr. Jones sat down in a shadv corner to rest. The little dog was there, panting with heat and evidently en- joying the interval quite as much as his master. Suddenly the friend’s voicc came from the other side of a large field: “Send Arches over here. I have a dead bird and my dog can‘t find it.” Archos paid no attention, but laid still. taking his well-earned rest. "ArchosP’ said his master in a con- vcrsational tone. Archos ceased pant- ing and fixed his great dark eyes on the speaker. “Ed has lost a dead bird. He can't find it. You go out there and get it. ’ Off the little fellow started through the tall ragweed which covered the field, and quite unknown to the other man over there, wont to work. He scented the dead bird-brought it back and laid it at his master’s feet, wag- ging his tail and smiling, as much as to say: “I’d like to tell you how nicely tha: Norwvalk Hotel. Newly Renovated.
