ed down. the character of which de-
 bends upon the depth of their purses. Sailors join the navy on the official as- surance that .'the supply of provisions is liberal, and Is given at the govern
 ment expense" and they find that. in addition to the sum they receive from the Admiralty for savings" they have to spend several shillings week out of their pay. while the authorities make profit out of their own faulty dietary scale. Moreover. the ships canteens at which the additional pro- visions must be bought are often ex- pensive, and, as a rule, badly man. aged. There is excuse in these vktu- aling arrangements for considerable dissatisfaction. The means by which the men can bring their complaints to the attention of he Lords of the Ad- miralty are limited. but they have continually appealed for falrer treat ment. and in vain. At last, however, their plea for consideration has been so far needed. thanks to the unselfish and praiseworthy efforts of some pulp lic-spirited officers, that a committees has been dispatched to the naval ports to make inquiries.

Some travel great dis tances to take part in a reunion in Manchester that has now become an annual event. This year 1t took place at the Hulme Town Hall, where a tea party in the evening was followed by a performance of Hamlet by deaf mutes. Probably the feeling for dramatic representation Is as strong in them as in others. but to those who can hear and speak it is difficult to imagine that it can be fully satisfied by signs and gestures, more especially when they are trammeled with the rapid and complicated movements of the finger language. The performance was, however. great success. Last year the same actors gave Romeo and Juliet" so that the success was not altogether due to novelty. The dressing of the play was effective. the scenery was good, and there was spirit in the acting. and the audience, judged by their attention. felt real concern in the development and the incidents of the play.
