a native of New York State and is but
40 years of age. In 1855 his parents
located in Racine. Young Winslow
attended the public schools and at the
age of II entered the grammar school
of Racine College, continuing at this
institution full collegiate course and
graduating with the degree of A. b. in
the class Of 1871. After few months
spent in teaching he entered the law
Office of f. O. Hand, then County
Judge of Racine County. In 1874 he
entered the law school of the Univer-
sity OF Wisconsin and easily graduated
first in large class il 1875, with the
degree of LII. b. From 1877 to 1880
Judge Winslow practiced with emf
nent success. In 1883 he was elected
to the Circuit bench. For four con-
secutive ears he had the Office of cor
poration counsel OF Racine. His con-
spicuous success upon the Circuit
bench led to his unopposed reelection
III 1889. His success as trial Judge
is evidenced by the fact that out of 800
litigated trials but ffty-six appeals
were taken from his judgment, only
eleven of which were reversed or
modified

kind of ship work from calking the
seams TO -fatting the cable. At eight
bells, II o'clock, all assemble TO dinner
of roast beef, potatoes and pudding,
while for supper they have plain bread
and treacle. Their education Is not neg
lected. for they must observe certain
school hours, but ths practical training
is considered to be the main object OF
their stay on board
The system has been SO effective that
able bodied scamen are now seldom eIs-
listed di ectly into the navy, for tho
training schools have provided all that
may be needed. Butt TO meet. all emer-
gencies that may possibly arise, naval
reserve has been formed, into which
merchant seamen are admitted. Mem
bers of the reserve are paid an annual
sum Us retainer 10 serve on board the
Government vessels, and must be in
readiness in time of war To enter the
service OF tho British navy. Including
the boys, this reserve numbers about
20. 900 men, and as the total number
borne on the ships books is about 81,
600, the available naval force OF Great
Britain is therefore nearly $4,000 men.
The naval schools have always been
extremely popular, and general y have
had more applicants than there was
room 10 accommodate. There is good
reason for the preference shown by sea-
faring men for the naval service, for.
although the wages are smaller than are
paid in the commercial marine, in every
other respect the men are better treated,
fed and clothed than on ships devoted to
commerce The system of the reserve
and training schools has also done away
with the impressment of sedmeN in time
of war, and the press-gang, hunting tie
sea-coast and abducting men to serve as
seamen, has become thing Of the past.

we're, but in general the men are justly
treated. Seamen, as rule, prefer for

intervals for recreation and refresh

part OF the day
In addition TO the usual routine OF
school work, there are lectures on mathe-
MATES, on practical optics. there are
explanations and illustrations Of the
workings Of steam machinery, and cspe
cially close study is made OF every phase
Of geography. No study in the naval
school curriculum is more carefully
taught or more thoroughly mastered.
The earnestncss with which the youth
who is to spend all his life OH the land
"bounds" States and countries is a trifle
compared with the zeal with which in

this important difference, however, that
while 10 the "land lubber" the study of
the land is a matter of small conse-
qucncc, to him who is TO sail over the
sea n knowledge OF its coasts and by ways
is matter Of vital Importance Hence,
the geography taught in the training
school is the geography of the sea and Of
the coast, and when a pupil leaves that
institution he is able to describe every
headland on any frequented coast on the
globe, to tell what harbors there are on
any coast line, what rocks are to be
Stunned, what sands and reefs to
DO avoided, and where lighthouses
are erected for the safety of seamen.
