DECORATED HIS SHIP. Sir John Had Llttls Paint and a Fine Sense of Humor It Is not often the administration of England's naval affairs Is attended With any humorous features, but, on one occasion at least an officer of the royal navy contributed quaintly to the archives of the admiralty. Once, before the days of steel ships, the allowance of paint in the royal navy was very small, and Homotlmes the officers had to pay largo sums In order that their ships might maintain a decent appearance. Sir John Phllll more resorted to a funny expedient either to soften the heart of the navy board or, If that proved Impossible, to express tfls opinion He painted one ?ide of his yellow frigate black und white and used the rest of the black paint in printing on the other Hide In large letters. "No <nore paint!" The navy board wrote to rail hl?. attention to the Impropriety of tils condtr.-t 'lgn"?l fheui ve* i they did officially, "Your uffectionute friends." Sir John made reply that he could not obliterate the objection able letters unless be were jrlven more paint and signed himself. In turn. "Tour affectionate friend, John Phllll more." *rhe naval authorities then called his attention to the Impropriety of the aignature, to which Sir John respond ed, acknowledging the letter, stating he regretted that the paint had not boon sent and ending, "I am no longer yonr affectionate friend. John Phllll more." Hla frigate was permitted to retain bar original yellow, and thus the navy board punished Sir John's im pertinence. The Last Laugh.

The first Ik, that children should lio no foolish aw to throw up stones, and brickbats and clubs into fruit, trecti,,. to knock down the fruit; if they would lot it alone, It would fall < f Itself. The Bocond in, tiiat men should bo ho foolish and even wicked -a^ to go to war and kill one* anolli' t f if thoy would only lot one auulhiiv alone, thoy would die of themselves.. And vtho third and last thing, 1 wonder at most of all, In that younr men Hhould bo bo unwise as lu . after the young Women; if tlic\ would only stay at homo, tho young women would come aftor them.
