features of instruction and training,

1T is the application of the law as
to a uniform system of discipline
which brings about the greatest
change In the militia; for this compre-
bends a progressive system of train
ing in all features of military work,
giene, methods of subsisting, and
small army practice; it involves the
small arms practice; it envolves the
making of reports to show results at
tanned, a systematic method of ac-
counting for public property, and a
certain necessary amount Of study
and preparation.
This change in methods and es-
tablishment of higher standard for
the militia-although admittedly nee
essary-makes greater demands upon
the time of the individual soldier, and
this is especially true of commissioned
officers. who. to meet the fulness OF
their obligations, must give some
study and an extra amount of effort
and attention to the administration OF
military affairs: to accounting for pub
lie property, making of reports, etc.
"A man cannot be expected TO
leopard his means of making a live
Hhood. or make great sacrifice of his
personal interests, to render military
service in time of peace; yet in the
acceptance of a commission and the
taking of the oath of Office certain OBJ
legations are assumed which must be
discharged: for so complex is military
organization that failure in the per-
Torrance of duty by one Individual
will result in injury TO the entire ser

Question of Pay.
The question is, how great a sac
rifice of time may reasonably be ex
pected by the government of those
serving as officers voluntarily and
without remuneration? This and
other problems were doubtless fore
seen by the trainers of the federal
statute when they provided a per- rsi

A recent issue of the Jacksonville

interesting article relative to the
florida State Troops:
The annual report of the adjutant

ports of the brigadier general com.

by the troops during that year, has
Just been sent to the governor and is
being printed for distribution.
From an advance copy of this re-
port which has been furnished the
Times Union, there is selected the fol-
lowing chapter, under The heading EFF

teresting information as to the prog
ress of the Florida state troops, and
as to the relations between the militia
and the federal government as af-
fected by recent acts of congress, in.

Efficiency.
1t may be said that the Florida
state trops have improved in efficiency
during the year. In fact, there has
been a general and continuous i'm

period since the reorganization of the
troops at the close of the war with
Spain; but particularly has this been
noticeable during the past three

and the state legislature of laws des-

For the coating on cement coated

of the chief considerations were the
preservation OF the box; but the pri-

With time and the opportunity one
cover of a light box wire nailed could
be lifted and replaced and the nails
redriven without showing any marks
on the box, and thus there was tho
possibility of the abstraction OF goods
from such boxes in transit. For in

taken out OF a shoe case, and the
cover put back without showing any
signs of tampering. And With this
requirement for it along comes tho
