NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Punishments That Are Melted Out to
British Sailors.

British Sailors.
For infraCtiOn of regulations some
curious punishments are meted out in
!he English navy. 1t is an every day
occurrence, says the London Tit-Bits,
70 see half Il dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work. holding
their hammocks on their shoulders At
first the hammock isn't heavy. but aft
er an hour or so it drags on ones
at all entertaining to stare tiXedly ut n
square foot of painted woodwork for
an hour or more at Il time.
Another punishment that Jack de
spises is baling with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck. with two large
wooden buckets. one filed with water
and the other empty. With spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it TO the other, being
meanwhile the butt of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes delinquent is made TO
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck. nursing in his arms a
six inch projectile. weighing a little
over 100 pounds. Once a sailor who
laughed at the stammering speech of
his commander was made to stand
upon the forcbridge in full view Of the
ships crew and laugh for an hour and
a half.
Splitting upon the deck OF man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. 'Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships when sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck a small tub is strapped
to his chest. and he is made TO wear it.
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

Why those headaches :

Why those headaches /!
Why should you not read more than ia
few minutes without discomfort
Why should your eyes give you trouble
Because it is proof of severe eye strain.
The only right way to relieve that strain
is to remove the cause. Many people have
been relieved of persistent headaches by
having their eyes correctly examined and
fitted with suitable glasses.
An examination of your eyes by our Re-
gistered Optometrist, Mr.. III. Prest, will
tell whether strain is the probable cause of
your Headaches. 1t you do not need glasses
