generally observed on all vessels that
have open deck for carrying the battery.
The inspection over, orders are given to

on ship board and in boats; the handling

rapid fire and machine guns, which, in
addition to the usual drills aloft with
sails and spars, boat exercise under oars
and sails, occasional Handing parties, and,
at RAJ intervals, encampments on shore

hours, and give an opportunity for thor

The whole object Of the drill is to 70
perfect the crew in their individual duties
that when they are called together to go
through the motions Of fighting an
enemy every detail will have been care
fully attended to and the whole body will
act as an intelligent unit. The great
gun drill consists in casting loose all the
tackles that hold the gun in place when
the ship is rolling about, and in provid-
ing the apparatus required to load and
fire, while the guns crew arm themselves
with cutlass and pistol or rifles, az their
stations call for. Once a week at "gen-
eral quarters" powder and projectiles are
brought up on deck and the motions of
loading and firing gone through with.

the successful vessel carried at the fore.
The number of shots fired while the ves-
sci was in the firing arc, as well as the
distribution of these shots, were the two
quantities used in determining the figure
of merit. The cutlass drill is the same
as broadsword exercise, the men being
armed with wooden sticks, having q
large leather guard. This is an excel
lent muscle developing drill, and when
properly executed is quite well worth
Watching, particularly at its close, when
q regular set-to is usually encouraged.
The pistol or revolver drill is for the pur-
pose of instruction in handling that wea-
pom, and to teach the men to become
good snap shots. The drill in the man
ual Of arms, the loadings and frings and
the skirmish drill, as far as simple de-
ployment and accustoming the men to
the various bugle calls are concerned,
are about all the instruction in Soldier
ing that a well be given on ship
board. Mob tactics, marchings and re-
views, as well as a more extended skir-
mishing and rifle target firing, have to
be postponed urtl q navy yard Or some
convenient port is reached.
The only torpedoes at present furnished
vessels are those known az ''spar torpe-
does" which are used both from long
booms fitted alongside of the vessels, and

artillery consists, not only in the ability
to load and fire with rapidity and precis-

sells to the new steel cruisers is only just
begun, and the older systems of drills
are carried out on board of the very
large majority Of naval vessels now in
commission. Should the various propo-
sitions for the incorporation Of a naval
reserve, now SO much talked about
throughout the country, be carried into
effect, the drills will have, by sheer
force Of circumstances, to partake
of the nature of what has been the meth
cd for years than of what would apply
more especially to improved breech
mechanism, torpedo tubes and smoke
less powders.
The reason for this is not far to seek,
and lies chiefly in the fact that just at
present the navy does not possess enough
of the modern cruisers for its own press
ing needs, and the receiving ships and
monitors that will probably be the YES
sells first utilized for drill purposes by
the pioneers of the auxiliary naval forces,
or naval reserve contingent, are already
of a past day and generation. The for
mer were crack frigates Of their time
and were models in To days of smooth
bore cannon and full sail powered ships;
the latter came in with the civil war, as
soon after Ericsson's vessel proved her
proves at Hampton Roads as they could
be constructed, and have hardly been in
active service since. A half million of
dollars, more or less, is mentioned as the
sum necessary to put them in condition
for cruising service; but as this expendi-
ture seems exorbitant for the small
amount of good they are to the navy at
large, the secretary Of the navy suggests
their use al drill vessels for the naval
reserve in its preliminary exercises to
prepare itself to man the coast defense
vessels in time Of actual service. The
usual custom aboard all men-of-war is to
have Quarters" at $3.50 in the morning.
This is for the purpose of muster and
inspection, to ascertain If all hands are
on board and if they are properly dressed
in the prescribed uniform of the day.
The men stationed at the guns Of the
battery fall in alongside of their respect

first division forward, the second next,
and SO on until all the places are taken.
There are always a large number Of men
on board vessels of war who are not sta
toned at the guns. They are the serv-
ants, the engineers force, the various
petty officers, whose general duties are
below decks; the men required to attend
to the steering of the vessel, handling
the signals, sounding apparatus, etc.
also the carpenters, whose particular
duties are to look out for and stop up
shot holes and other damage during an

All of these are drawn up on the oppo-
site side of the deck to that on which the

About Pearline.
From Waterman

FrOul WdfCnlAu.
Every one knows about Pearline, almost
every one uses Pearline, but We wonder if all
the housekeepers who use it know half that
can be done with it. We wonder if they all
know what some of the bright ones have dis
covered, that those mountains of dish washing
the greasy pan and kettle-may be reduced
to mole hills OF the smallest size by the Judi
cious use of Pearline Fill the roasting pan, as
soon the gravy is poured from it, with cold
water, shake in a little Pearline and set on the
stove. By the time the rest of the
dishes are washed all the grease is dissolved
and the pan can be washed as easily as plate
Treat the kettle in which anything greasy has
been boiled in the same way, and besides clean
utensils you will have a clean sink, the use Of
the Pearline rendering it safe to pour such dish
water into it. Sinks regularly treated to a bath
of Pearline and scalding water will seldom need
the services of plumber.
