WHITE RhINO NOT SO MUCH

Truck Farm Aboard Steamer.

Wonderful progress has been made In
the steamship world the last few years in
the constant striving Of thoughtful man
ayers to add to the comfort and conven-
lence Of ocean travel. and the luxur .es
now provided on an up-to-date lev.athan
surpass the widest dreams OF the past.
Nevertheless there seems to be no such
word as perfect" In the steamship woi Id,
for when 1t seems as If there cou be no
more innovations, another comes along.
The latest Is on the Hamburg American
line steamship kaiserin Augusue Victoria,
and Is the Introduction of a garden and
truck farm, on a small scale, with pro-
duce raised on bSard and served right
from the farm to the table.
This is not mere novelty, but part Of
careful. plan, the purpose OF which is
to provide the passenger W tn every con-
ceivable luxury. A regular gardener is
part of the ships company, and it is his
strawberries. mushrooms, lettuce and
other green's which are grown on the
farm The greenhouse Is steel struc-

HARD-woRK1Na VOLUNTEERS
Why the National Guard Waiting
Lists Have Disappeared.

From Uncle Sans Magazine.
Prior to the Span.sh-American war
many of the National Guard commands
had waiting lists OF applicants for en-
listment
The real motives for enlistment in those
days were undoubtedly the opportunities
:or good times offered by membership.
These consisted of the companionshp of
sociable comrades during weekly drills
drills which certainly called for no study
and little physical effort-the after drill
chat over the little supper. the monthly
company meeting, where everything ger
name to the interests Of the company was
q Scussed amid much eloQuence, the post
meeting supper, the spring games and the
fall games. the company smoker or thea
ter party and the company dance or
dances.
For one week every two years the local
company would soldier in the open at the
state camp. This one weeks camp usually
involved much prepa. alton. Many pairs of
white duck trousers and white cotton
gloves were got together. Where the COM
mand Pc sesSed a distinctive dress uni
form 1t was put In the very best conii-
ton. great number of boxes contain
ing ea.ables. drinkabies, toilet articles
AS. most National Guardsmen know,
tn S has all been changed. The main
qualification Is no longer sociability, but
huskine s. The concern now is not how
long can he dance. but how far can he
hike.
Today his eyesight must be perfect.
his physical condition excellent. He must
not be too short OF too tall, or too stout
or too lean, and he must possess mental
application with plenty of sand.
Drills are frequent-in come commands
as many as two or three drills q week for
nine months of the year, with much study
in addition There is no longer much
time for social diversions.
Discipline is harsher and infractions
thereof are in many instances punished
by heavy fin 8. State camp would not
be recognized by some Of the old-timers.
In alternate years the army maneuvers
are substituted for state camp. There is
little Or no time to receive visitors.
In the case of the amy maneuyers the
place is usually inaccessible for Wis tors.
The ceremonies are fewer. The time OF
the troops s. fully occupied in tactical in
struction and in the demonstration o.
m nor problems. Need ess to rema k
nothing is taken by the men except what
may be carried n the haversack an
blanket roll. and house parties in camp
are few and far between.
The truth is that the old National
Guard In reality existed largely for ple as
ure and somewhat largely for busine s..
The present National Guard exists for
business only.

THE HURRYING BARBER.
Speed Manifested More in the No.
tions Than in the Results.

From the New York sun.
"Barbers, remarked the man with the
short hair. ARE born unable to hurry.
Just you go into shop. as I did the
other day, wanting a haircut, and ask
the barber how long it will take. He told
me oh. about twenty minutes and
said TO go ahead.
THAT barber honestly believed he was
hurrying. but he couldn't leave out those
little sn p-snips about the back of the
neck they are all SO fond OF doing, and
he had TO cut the hair as If he were CHG

case of shaving. When you tell a barber
to hurry he dashes around on the tiled
floor at imminent risk of falling. and he
sp.ashes the lather into your eyes and
your mouth, but the fact rema ms that
he takes as much time as usual to rub
the lather into your face and as much
time to shave you.
