The naval militia has its critics. The
friendly critics are the regular navy,
and the hostile those that know nothing
about either service.
Whatever its imperfections. the sea
and land militia form the nations first

april with the special request that the
summer cruise cover the northern ports
Of Seattle, Tacoma, Bremerton and
Portland in order to inspire the organi-
cations there, which are yet feeble and
unassisted by the state.
This RivesN the knockers their first
opportunity. Why, they ask, should
the militia touch any ports at all dur
ing these cruises, instead Of keeping up
continuous practice out at sea? The
answer is that the officers and men
serve without pay, while even the land
militia draws the regulation sum at its
ANNUAL camps of instruction. Social
visits OF this kind are their sole recon-
spense.

Time has worked rapid change in

type. The navy itself gives immediate
rating as petty Officers to landsmen
skilled in the mechanical trades. This

It was a great satisfaction to the
reserve during last years cruise to
hear the naval officer detailed as in
structor confess to seasickness during
a gale off Point Conception This is an
ailment many men In the regular serv-
ice never overcome entirely. So it is
not unnatural that the rail should be,
the first day out, popular with the men.
The officers are generally pretty good
sailors. and no storm could upset the
appetites of Lieutenants Bauer and
Fritz But some of the others on oc-
casion have been accused of retiring
to their rooms to look out the port
hole.
Bos'n Schnalle, being true she'll
back, has only one remedy for the men:
Work. When he sees any bilious hued
youths tucked away in the lifeboats he
rousts them out and calls for the scrub
bers. His theory is that no medicine
can take the place of little elbow
grease on the deck. The bosn's pipe
is as active as the proverbial canary
when the seas run high and roll deep.

the "Morgen Post" Berlin, when the
wonderful Marfels collection OF
watches, including unique specimens
OF the seventeenth century and enam-
els of beautiful design, acquired after
many years and ut a great cost, was
purchased by au art dealer in Paris.
The collection contains many speci-

German museum, and it is to be
hoped that the fate Of these valuable
trinkets will not be like that which
Of late has overtaken so many art
treasures, that they be sent to the
