DISCIPLINE AT SEA.
Penalties and Privileges Aboard Ship
In Former DAYS,

In Former Days.
Some remarkable advice to s%eafarers
is given in an old Portuguese book pub
lished for the guidance Of mariners.
Among other things it deals with the
rights of captains to assault sailors
and the methods in which the attacks
are to be legally met.
The sailor was advised to bear calmly
any verbal abuse that an irate skipper
may hurl at him, but if words passed
to blows he was to ruiz away into the
bows and firmly take his stand beside
the anchor chain.
Should IN Infatuated master armed
with a Delaying pin or other lethal
weapon chase him to his stronghold
the mariner was to slip round to the
farther side of the chain. Should he
messmates to witness that the master
had broken the rules by circumventing
the chain.
Then at last he was to defend him
self, and let us hope he would do it
well. Other little matters Of discipline
are set out, and they show a noble eff
fort to make the punishment fit the
crime.
The ships clerk, a privileged person
who acted as b%ookkeeper, purser and
cargo master, was liable to be branded
in the forehead. to lose his right hand
and to forfeit all of his property if he
made a wrong entry in the ships book
or connived at such an entry.
A seaman who fell asleep on his
watch was only put on a diet of bread
and water unless the offense was COM
mitted in hostile waters. In that case
he must be stripped naked, fogged by
his messmates and ducked thrice in
the sea.
II he were IN officer. however, he
would only lose all food except his
bread and have a pail of water flung
over from the head Recommendations

Literary and Musical PiIlase.
Bernard Shaw's defense Of literary
'pillage" was anticipated by his fellow
countryman, Balfe, the composer or
"The Bohemian Girl" who used to
borrow generously from other peoples
scores. On n occasion. the London
Express recalls, he was rehearsing q
new opera at Drury Lane and the first
fiddle, an Italian, was Mortified to come
upon page after page of familiar
music. "Mr. Balfe, MI. Balfe." he

reply. Get on with the rehearsal

large, government engineers and agri-
cultural experts calculate that the
arid land reclaimed and made produc-

Annually to the nations agricultural
wealth and will be one OF the most
effective means known OF checking
the emigration OF finished American
farmers To Canada. In recent years
more than $500, 900 600 has been in
vested In Canada by farmers who have
moved from the United States into
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

tiles offered for home-seekers had
been sufficiently attractive. Prac-
Ideally all OF the 1.290O00 acres OF
land which have been irrigated by the
government up to this time have been
grabbed by home-seekers as soon as
they have been opened, and according
