HOW SAILORS ARE TRAINED

During the Civil war the Naval acaf-
envy was moved to Newport on the

a base hospital by the army, writes
c. III. Foster in Scribner's. On the

BY the end Of Porters supcrinten-

worked out the system followed to the
present day. Since 1851 academic
work has not been interrupted by
three years at sea. Through drills
and summer cruises practical skill and

without sacrificing progress in the

results achieved challenge comparison
with those Of any college, and have

RECORD AGES FOR HORSES
Many Have Lived Far Beyond What
Is Generally Considered Their
Allotted Span.

Ruben, farmer Of small town IN
New hampshire, tells of a new kind
of conservation. In his neighborhood
are four horses in active service,
though all over twenty years of age.
He has one himself hard upon tWcn'
ty.four years. \ farmer near by has
another which Is close to thirty. Two
others in the vicinity are around the
quarter-century mark. AS he says, it
Is only in a rural community, where
they cherish the horse almost like
member of the family, where one could
expect to find such a record. Even
there this demonstration Of longevity
is striking.
Nevertheless, the oldest horse that
the Nomad ever saw was IN the serv-
tee Of the New York city surface
railway system. This horse was III

Sound Carried Far.

A camp cook whose only means Of
calling the members Of his party was
pounding on a pan with knife handle
was unable to make them hear when
they were fishing or hunting at any
considerable distance from the camp.
One of the party to whom he COM
planned thereupon made what he call.
ed "klcpal0."
The "klcpHlo" was merely n piece Of
well-seasoncd oak plank two inched
thick, six inches wide, and four feet
long. Through the center he bored a
hole, passed rope through It and sus-
pended the plank from the branch Of a
iree. The cook "rang" the instrument
Ivy striking 1t with mallct, first on
rnc side ana then on the other.
The man who made the "klepalo"
had seen similar contrlv0nces in small

used instead Of church bells to call the
people to worship. A test Of the In
strument used by the campers showed
that In ordinary weather conditions 1t

Must Lend or Be Taxed,

Another point we must remember
taking this whole matter simply on
an economic basis That the more Of
these Liberty bonds we buy the less
taxes we Wil have to pay. The gov.
eminent must have the money TO keep
up the war and feed and clothe our
boys, This year It needs about S2i ,DO,-
100000 This amount 1t must get from
the people. And If the people won't
loan in bonds, It must take In taxes.
Hence, the more we loan the less We
will have to give.
It's al a question of saving, saving,
saving and never was there a better
time to begin than now with the Lib
erty loan bonds as an attraction. The
man who las no ready money with
which to buy The bonds Is the very
man that the government wants above
all other classes Of men to loan it his
money; his money saved here with n
dollar Hnd there with quarter. 1t Is
the finest Kind of money to give to our
country: the money that we save by
some act OF self1enlal. 1t isn't the
money that we have In the bank that
we want to draw out and buy Liberty
bonds with; 1t Is the money that next
winter we can save, month by month.
