ercise would consume considerable time, but such is not the case, for many of the boys have been timed and it has been ascertained that they have made the trip in less than three minutes. Ii is safe to say that few men in our modern navy can duplicate the feat.
 The naval reserve men are drilled in every branch of work on shipboard. They know how to splice rope in all of the mysterious knots dear to the old seaman's heart. and can handle sail to perfection even in a gale.
 Tn the ship drill each man is allowed to do pretty much as he pleases, but in the artillery and musket drill they are handled in squads The musket drill is little different from that of the in- fantry of the regular army but the artillery is. of course, purely naval. There are two kinds of artillery. The big guns mounted on the ship and the small rapid-fire guns that are used by landing parties when taking city.
 In handling the big guns the Naval Reserve boys are compelled to work hard. The guns are heavy and so are the ramrods and sponges as well as the sham" loads of powder This drill never last long, but when it is over the boys are pretty well warmed up.
 The rapid-fire guns are, of course, lighter to handle, but the movement must be quick, and as it is very in- tricate requires the closest attention. In these drills the guns are sometimes taken ashore and handled on the dock. At such times the maneuvers make as pretty sight of the kind as it is pos- sible to imagine.
 After all the drills for a certain day are over the boys prepare to enjoy themselves on shipboard. The cooks galley is opened and a big meal of sea fare prepared This is spread in the cabin, where all are sure to partake heartily. If the weather happens to be the kind the boys want they lower the ships boat and go for a long sail. But they never leave the ship as long as there is any branch of the ser- vice they can practice on.
 That's the reason they are ready and willing to go to war.

v
 become so accustomed to the
 fact that the largest and,
 IA in fact, the only successful os-
 tTtch farms in America are
 within a few minutes ride of the city that it does not impress them any more, and beyond mentioning the farms casually to visiting friends, as a means of passing a half day pleasant Iy, they seldom speak of them, and many of the residents have actually never visited them.
 They are, however, a most interest ing feature of this section for tourists, and visit cannot fail to impress. upon one the great courage and enterprise 1t has taken to get such an enormous establishment into such a f1ourishing condition, the business being such precariOuS one.
 At first 1t was all risk and no com pensation, but of late the percenta ge of loss of eggs by breaking and young birds by death has been greatly re- duced, and after thirteen years MT. Edwin Cawston, the owner, can begin to calculate with some degree of cer- tainty what the profits will eventually be. He has now 300 birds, being plucked annually, and the value of the feathers ranges from thirty to forty dollars per bird.
 The farm at South Pasadena is ad- mirably arranged, both for the birds and for visitors. The entrance is through the feather salesroom, where the display is somewhat irresistible to the average woman. If she with stands its temptations on the way to the farm, she is lost on the way out, for she must pass through it again on leaving.
 The grounds of the farm are divided into number of cOrralS, large and small. Tn one of the large ones there were over a hundred of the younger birds, none Of them over eighteen months old, and the Obliging attendant fed them oranges until some of the greedy ones had six at a time on the way down their long throats, and as the oranges were much larger than the ordinary diameter of their throats, the corrugated effect produced was exceed ingly funny. Anything they can get into their peaks is disposed of for eVer-eVen gimlet was swallowed by one of them some time ago without any trouble
 The young ones seem to be fairly good tempered, but they are not in the least afraid of man or or anything that is up off the ground, for they realize the power of their one weapon, the large toe, with which they can deliver q frightful kick forward and at from two to three feet from the ground. As they can do no execution close to the ground, a small dog is an object of great fear, and one which is trained for the purpose was s nt into the cor ral to drive them about. They tore franticaily round and round, at pace that would try good horse. and as they held their heads very gracefully and their feathers spread and ruffied with the wind, it was really q beauti- ful as well as strange sight. although

cess for the birds, as they are driven into a pen and blindfolded while the larger feathers are cut off and the smaller ones which are ripe" are gently pulled out, but it is not in the least painful. In fact, it is to the in terest of the owner not to injure the feather sockets, for if that is done the feathers will never grow l. again.
 The body feathers are shed naturally once each year. and picked up about the corrals, and only the large wing and tail feathers are removed by hand. The short feathers of the fully grown male bird are black, and the wing and tail feathers white, but the poor hen has to be satisfied with dismal gray all her life, and her feathers are of a much poorer grade also. All of the females feathers, and a large portion of the males. are dyed, for all of the very long ones are white. and the de- mand for black feathers is greater than for white.
 All of the black ones are also dyed black, which gives them a. very fine color. much deeper than either white or gray can be made. Every feather, when ready for use, really consists of from three to five feathers, carefully spliced together, and in the case of eX- trene length, such as Knights Temp lars pIumeS, even more are used.

% R. GEORGE KEARNEY of the
 City Dispensary staff is a bache-
 Tor. His interest in babies is there
 : fore purely professional and ab- N stract. From a purely professional
 standpoint he objects to the preva- lent custom of dressing babies-the way they are dressed these fin de siecle days. Short babies were never made for long clothes, he says, "and long clothes ought not to be made for short babies. These Kate Greenaway girls, I believe they call them, and these sailor boys, are very nice to look at. but their quaint costumes vio- late the essential rules of health.
 "Unhampered limbs are necessary to the health of babies and small children. Babies don't kick around just to be kick ing. They do it instinctively just as they laugh. Something is wrong when a baby does not kick. Bright babies kick and the more they kick the brighter they are.
 Kicking develops strength and pro- notes circulation. Saving the air with the legs exercises the stomach muscles and all the other parts of the body. If you go to a skilled physical instructor he will put you on your back on rub Der mat and make you kick around like you used to do in the nursery, that is, provided you did not have foolish mother who swaddled you up in long clothes so that you could not kick.
 "Give a child plenty of leg room and 1t will do the rest.

 Another man I knew, son of a Scotch divine and branch of one of the proudest old families of Scotland, of whom one of the peasants on the estate said:
 ''The Queen did we'll to get her daugh- ter married to an Argyle
 Highly educated, polished, handsome in the way young Scotchmen often are, tall, slender, with the bonnie blue een," he had been sent out for the good of the family. There had been a scan- dal, a woman's name mixed up in it. He had a wife and two children, and just simply went abroad. He receives a monthly allowance, but makes a good deal by writing. His curse is drink.
 One day in a store a lady dropped N parcel in front of him. He was more than half seas over, but a casual ob- server would not have noticed it. He, however, knew that if he stopped he would have difficulty in regaining the vertical.
 Will you pardon me, madam" he said, but the doctor forbids my stoop- ing. Heart out of order"
 Poor woman; she looked at him so sympathetically, and was about to tell him of a sure cure, but he got out of the way.
 He will never return home, and has signed over everything to his son, a boy of years.

He gambied away his money and came out here to get rid of his creditors What could he do to earn a living, for eat and drink and sleep he must? It hap pened that in the town on the other side where he found a temporary asy- lum before sailing there was a doctor with large family. One son was in the army and must have his allowance. but no dots" were to be had for the daughters, who were thoroughly educa- ted musicians. It was really a godsend to one of the doctors girls when the young man with the title proposed to marry her and forego the dot" saying they would seek their fortunes together in the haven across the sea.
 They did, and the gratitude the girl still feels to him for marrying her without dot" I suppose helps to keep her happy while she supports him by giving music lessons.

individually, when quiet, they are not in the least attractive, even when in full plumage.
 Some of the birds became so much excited that they executed a most pe- culiar waltz movement, whirling around and around as if crazed, as l suppose they were, temporarily. The fence around the large corrals is quite high and substantial, although they say it is entirely unnecessary, for it would be impossible to drive them over a barrier a foot high-they do not seem to be able to estimate heights, and if positively forced to cross board few inches high they will leap wildly into the air as far as possible; they are so heavy, even when young, that they cannot rise from the ground very far and the matured birds weigh over two hundred and fifty pounds and stand about seven feet high.
 Another of the large corrals had a large number of the brown young birds,

They are all completely wrapped up ID naval study and are all full -bloOded Americans We love our country and we love our ship, and there ain't man among US who is afraid to fight
 "Of course this recent trouble has kind of reused us up, but we have al- ways felt just as we do now. America is our native land and we are ready to fight any other nation who dares af front us. Why, I really believe that if word came to us that an enemy, in the shape of some big ironclad, was coming toward the Golden Gate and there was no other defense but this old wooden ship every man aboard would glad ly jump to his place and sail out to fight. And even if he knew the chances of his coming back were rather slim"
 To see just what interest these young men take in their work at the present time it is only necessary to be down on the dock any morning just before the hour for beginning drill. You can even go half an hour before the appointed time and find them all there. And what a multitude of employments they are
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-24

engaged in. Some are cleaning and pol ishing guns, some are practicing the manual of arms, while others are en- gagged in study. A few can nearly all ways be seen practicing in the rigging. It is each ones plan to see how quick he can reach the main truck. And a most exhilarating exercise this is.
 Standing on the deck and drawing a long breath the young seaman makes a run at the rigging and jumps about five feet from the deck before he touches it. Moving as rapidly and as noiseIessly as a monkey he seems to slide up to the lower top. No Tub bers hole" for our naval reserve sailor. He slides over the outside as easily as if he were only a few feet from the deck Standing on the top for a brief instant he seiZes the rigging and commences to climb again. Up he goes, passing one yard after another, until he stands on the topgallant royal and then commences to climb the mast. At last he is on the main truck, where all the world seems to swim beneath him. But our seaman does not get dizzy. He simply stays aloft as long as he wishes and then begins the descent. This takes less time than the ascent, for he slides a goodly portion of the way and the last stage of the journey is made down one of the back stays.
 It might seem as if such bit of ex-

 TT was along in the ''wee 'sma' o hours" I stopped into a cafe. The
 man scrubbing out the place was the only one about; even the barkeeper was not in evidence. As he handed me the bottle and glass he asked me:
 Will you take it neat?"
 The neat" the intonation and the voice made me look again at the man. He was tall and fair, but it must be confessed, both ragged and unclean.
 I am an Englishman myself, and knew in an instant that that intonation was liable to belong to but one class on the other side, where either man is a gentleman or he is not. l drew the man into conversation and asked him however he came to be doing what he was. Knowing me to be a country man. he told me of himself.
 It transpired that he was a Cam bridge man, son of a man who had been raised to the rank and title of baron fer his services to the Government.
 "Yes, and I am the eldest son." he said. but I shall have drunk myself out or the way l HOpS DSIOIS llIy IdA comes to the name and the estate
 Over and again his father had paid his debts and got him out of drunken scrapes. Despite the entreaties of the mother and sisters he was given his passage money to America, with the understanding that so long as he re- mained in America $50 a month would be regularly paid to him, but if he re- mained in CT returned to England he must shift for himself and by himself, for his father would have nothing more to do with him.
 He came to San Francisco, changed his name slightly, and once month for a few hours is rich man, and pays up the 50-cent and $1 loans which he is so fortunate to secure during the ether twenty-nine days. For his bed and food he scrubs out the second-class sa- loon where I found him.

He also does the larger part of the setting, being on the nest from in the afternoon until 9 the next morning, and giving her a rest of an hour at noon also.

 All of the males in the smaller cor rals (which have and require stronger fences) are very fierce and dangerous, roaring out angrily at the least dis turbance.
