Chewing gum, America’s outlet for superabundant energy, her solace in in nidation, and the constant dental companion of the whole nation, can no longer bo resorted to by the men of the United States navy (says' the ■‘Standard’s” Mew York correspondent). A formal order has been issiied oy the Navy Department prohibiting inie sale of gum in the ships’ stores ashore and ailoat. The order says: — •‘The habit of chewing gum aboard snip is decidedly objectionable for obvious reasons. It leads to constant reprimands for chewing in the ranks, it quarters, and other times when it is highly improper and unmilitary.” ine bluejackets are vigorously protesting against the order, declaring gum chewing is the' inalienable right ,1' every American, but no heed lias neon paid to their grumbling, and .lereaftor Jack Tar will be compelled to smuggle his gum aboard and chew it in the dark. Some extraordinary figures arc supplied by the Treasury in response to an inquiry as to the amount that the Covcfument is spending in carrying out its new land taxation (writes the London correpondent of the Melbourne “Age”). It is shown that for every 20s received in taxes an expenditure, of 11s (id is incurred in collection. The corresponding .outlay in the case of Customs and Excise is <fd for each 20s and the plmrge. on income taxes and death duties aver>ge only Id. The number of men employed on the land valuation is now b jo'i, and their salaries make a total of £323,380. In the course of the twelve months ended 30th. September they spent about ,022,000 on postage d >no. The rent of the offices amounts to £13,500. And in the course of the last seven months they used nearly £1.0,000 worth of stationery. They are si ill as indicated by the recent report f the Land Commissioners, in the ,ory early stages of their work. According to various guesses, it will occupy from twenty to thirty years—that is, if they are permitted to go on with it.
