vIoTUALING THE OLD NAVY.
The Puryeyors Were Condemned as Not
Little Faulty.

The unwieldy Armada was beaten
with quick firing small guns, mounted
in ships which could be turned with
case. Though the men in them were
fortunately seadogs of the tough
est breed, their condition seems
to have been an exceptionally hard one, as
compared with that of other sailors at the
time. This arose not by reason of the
severity of discipline in the navy, but
because they were specially i'll fed.
In the section of Sir Walter Raleigh's
treatise son Victualling," he complains
that it was ''very scant and dishonorable,
to the great SANDER of the navy, to the dis
couragement of all of them that are pressed
thereunto, and to the hindrance of his
Majesty's service. For that many times they
go Though the going was compulsory, by
the way) with great grudging to serve in
his Majesty's ships, as if it were to be
slaves in the galleys, SO much do they
stand in fear of penury and hunger; the
case being clean contrary in all merchant
ships"
Their educ allowance" he says, twas
very large and honorable in his Majesty's
ships, and would be greatly to the encour-
agement and strengthening of the mari
ners and soldiers that serve in them if it
were faithfully distributed and
therefore the purveyors and victualers
are much to be condemned as not a
little faulty in that behalf, who make
no little profit of these peelings, which
is cause very lamentable, that such
as sit in ease at home should raise
benefit out of their hunger and
thirst that serve their Prince and country
painfully abroad, whereof there hath long
time been great complainings but small
reformation"
In his section "Of Beer Casks" Sir Wal
ter gives specimen of the way in which
those who fought the Spanish Armada were
treated so far as their feeding was con-
cerned. He says that much OF the men S
beer was lever lost and cast away" be-
cause "the victualers, for cheapness, will
buy stale casks that have been used for
herrings, train OIL fish, and other such
unsavory things, and thereinto fill the beer
that is provided for the Kings ships" Be-
sides, he adds, ''the cask is commonly so
ill-hooped as that there is waste and leak
ing made of the fourth part of the drink,
were it never SO good. Good Words.

IN COMMITTEE.

The defeat of the passage of the railroad
funding bill in the House scotched it but
did not kill it. 1t was not absolutely re-
iected, but was referred to the committee
without instructions. 1t may not reappear
at this session. in any form, but on the
other hand, with some slight notifications
and amendments, it may be brought for
ward again, and in the rush and the hurry
of the closing days of the session be pushed
through and sent to the Senate with scant
time for debate.
Under these circumstances it will not do
for the people of California to be SO san
guine over the recent victory as to think
that they have won the campaign. Mr..
Huntington and his associates are not SO
much concerned about the funding features
of the bill as they are about some means
of relieving their estates from liability for
the debts of the road. There is reason to
believe that if they could be relieved from
their liabilities they would be willing to
let the Government take the roadbed, and
it is quite possible that bill amended in
this direction may be reported to the
House.
The people of California, in common
with the rest of the Union. are fighting in
this instance, not merely to prevent future
wrongs, but to secure the enforcement of
law upon rich corporations, as well as
upon ordinary citizens. Whatsoever sums
are due to the Government should be col
lected by the Government. Congress
should not be permitted to forfeit any of
the rights of the people in this matter.
For that reason watchfulness is necessary.
The public eye should not be taken from
the issue while this Congress is in session.
The bill is not dead 1t is in committee.

The valley railroad project is rapidly

When Men Should Marry.

well as all women should marry, and

this obvious destiny are, from natures
point of view, failures, 1t is not a
question of personal felicity (which
in eight cases out of ten may be more
than problematic), but of race respon.
sibility. The unmarried man is a
skulker, who, in order to secure his
W ease, dooms some woman, who
has a rightful claim upon him, to
celibacy. And in 30 doing he defrauds
himself of the opportunities for mental
and moral development which only
the normal experience can provide.
He deliberately stunts the stature of
his manhood, impoverishes his heart
and brain and chokes up the sweetest
potentialities of his soul. To himself
he is apt to appear like the wise fox
that detects the trap, though it be ever
80 cunningly baited; that refuses to
surrender his liberty for the sake of an
appetizing chicken or rabbit, which
may, after all, be a decoy, stuffed with
sawdust, while, as a matter of fact,
his case is that of the cowardly serv-

losing his talent, hid it in u napkin,

Don't Fidget.

A foreign nobleman, for whose opin-

has been heard to remark that, though
fascinating in many ways, our pretty
American women lack very sadly that
repose of manner which marks the
caste to which all rich, pretty, and
smart women strive to belong, the
thoroughly aristocratic.
American women" says this emf.
nent censor of high breeding, "gesticu-
late too much, they laugh too much,
are too restless when seated, too uneasy
when standing, and altogether, when
animated, are calculated to throw a
sensitive person into a hard attack of
sympathetic fidgets." So much of this
is true, and SO deep an impression has
the frank criticism made on the women
OF New York. at last, that few of them
one meets but are vigorously studying
what the noble man calls ''repose."
ITO seem at rest" says one of the
best opponents of this new doctrine of
social conduct" seat yourself carefully
and at ease. Smile a good deal if you
wish and are amused; but laugh rarely,
and then in a modulated tone. Try to
move your head about with graceful
posing, but for the most part let your
hands lie easily in your lap, and try to
make it a rule to do everything slowly.
American women are nervous instead
OF graceful, jerk from one thing to an
other, and 81 mar the best effects of
good gowns and fair faces" Under
