NAVAL MATTERS IN PARLIAMENT.

The debate on the Naval Works Bills last night, says the Pall Mall Gazelle of the 15th ulto, was very ably opened by Mr. Pretyman, though honourable members did not seem to take much interest in it. The bill shows that the Admiralty are fully alive to their respon- sibilities, and their proposals are only what the needs of the Empire absolutely demand. Sir Charles Dilke, who knows something about the matter, while admitting that some details of the bill were open to criticising expressed surprise that Radical members should contem. plate voting against it. He ought not to be surprised. Radical members believe that they are in the House for the sole purpose of voting against the Government. The mere fact that money is being voted is quite sufficient for them. It argues wanton axtravagance on the part of the Government who kept back the bill until the end of the Session in order to burke discussion on it Thus the, valiant Mr. E. Robertson and Mr. Lough argued, and the ingenious Mr. Healy wanted to know, when so much money was being disbursed, why none of it went to Ireland. Somewhat tiresome babbling,

Mr. Thomas Gibson, Bowlès, of course, was very much in evidence. Like the Rock itself he refuse to be ignored. He has made a speciality of Gibraltar, and has some very pretty theories about it which, unfortunately, are not shared by other experts. Mr. Bowles's main argument is really based on the supposition" that, in a war with France, 'Spain would also declare war against this country. A most un likely supposition, as Sir Charles Dilke very clearly pointed out. But Mr. Bowles is not only an expert, but an expert with a grievance. (J. S. in the Morning Leader.)

KISSES AND MICROBES.

Miss MAY GACHIE, living near Forest Lawn, south of St. Louis, charges that a man of the name of Reid inoculated her with microbes by means of a stolen kiss. Upon this complaint, Miss Cachie applied to Lastice of the Peace, George A. Boyne, for a warrant for the arrest of Reid. According to her story, she atttended a dance near her home one night_recently. While there she danced with Reid, and as the music ceased playing he drew her to his bosom, her head naturally dropping backward, and planted a kiss squarely on her lips. He not only planted the kiss, but also microbes, which have increased and multiplied, and have' poisoned her blood until her lip is swollen to an enormous size. Miss Cachia says that Reid's lips were stained with tobacco juice at the time she attended the darice, and as a result the microbes transmitted by the kiss got into the circulation of her blood, poisoning, her, Justice Boyne advised Miss Gachie to have her lip examined by a physician, and, should ho decide that the present condition was caused by Reid's lips, he would issue a warrant for the young man, charging him with assault or disturbing the peace, New York Journal,

But no such characters callvened this hydro, The large drawing- room WAS filled with men and women of mature age and rigidly respectable demeanour. They were gathered into groups, talking in low, carmest tones, as though telling secrets. They were discoursing on the shortcomings in the management of the establishment, and they never talked about anything else during the month that I remained to hear them.

To hear them talk'you would have thought' that Instead of sitting in a large well-furnished room they were in some masterpiece of in- fernal architecture constructed' so as to be at once hot and cold, airless and draughty, dark and glaring, crowded and bare, Deeper and louder were the murmurs against the food-until *I expected the coming dinner to consist of sourkrout and garlic washed down, by the historic black broth of Sparta!

avidity with which the gloomy multitude threw themselves upon it-albeit, muttering com plaints the while. Beyond these and an oc- casional Berce demand for more, not a word was uttered during the meal, which was die patched with appalling rapidity.

Under the soothing influence of repletion the after-dinner talk became retrospective, turning upon the comparative demerits of other hydros, from the feeding, point of view. Then I discovered that the greatest person there was be or she who could boast having sampled most hydres. Never having been in one before, I was quite out of the running, and listened in respectful silence until bedtime, while they balanced the scantiness of the sweets at A against the toughness of the joints at D

So the chorus went on day after day-the same song with continually changing singers; for the true hydronian rarely outstays fortnight.

You can pick out an ordinary individual who has strayed into the hydro at a glance, for the true hydronians are a class by themselves. · In my opinion they are born to a fate-reincarna tionu, it may be, of those who in the early days of hydropathy paid extortionate sums to be watered and starved to death, and impelled by un irresistible fate to wreak upon existing hydropathic companies the cruelties of their predecessors L.

forty before it is properly mixed. But they love us all the same. And they adore London. There are no bases in New York or Boston or Baltimore like the London buses; no genial and communicative drivers like ours; no multi- tude of hansoms to invite them to leave their hotel or, jollie, still, to return to it ; no ancient and historic churches to inspect and put down in their diaries; and no British Museum where they store their minds and soil their fingers with books that were venerable before their own immortal Declaration was signed.

Americans are in London either to try and rub shoulders with our old nability; or to stir some syndicate and show us how our great industrial enterprises should be run; or, as they call it, to do a library course, which means laborious days at the Museum; or ma cly on pleasure, in which case they seldom fail to have a "fine time."

The ordinary man in the street is apt to have a.vastly mistaken idea of the typical American girl. He sees the school teacher, who is far more a feature of primary and higher grade education in the States than she is in cur coun- try, or than the mere man is in theirs. Now, the American teacher is not a type of the

Nor are her manners the manners of the real American girl. In this country we always say Please" when we ask for anything, and "Thank you when we get it.

Mommer and three daughters-obviously "teachera." A gentle waitress places the card before them, and patiently waits while the selection is being debated. At fast the most aggressive looking of the ladies, a head teacher perhaps, speaks: "Say, Mommer, I've struck gooseberry tart. Why don't we have that home?"

To the waitress (throwing the menu across the table): Gooseberry tart, and we're in a burry! I thought to myself, "I suppose that's the way they talk to their darkey servants."
