HOW SAILORS ARE TRAINED
Students Most Thorough Prepar-
alton for Their Life Work.

During the Civil war the Naval acad.
envy was moved to Newport, on the
historic Constitution, while its for
mer home at Annapolis was used as
a base hospital by the army, writes
G. II. Foster in Scribner's. On the
academy's return to Annapolis, in
1865, Vice Admiral Porter, the super
intendent, instituted regular dances,
or "hops," and, most important of all
his reforms, the honor system, by
which a midshipmans word was not to
be questioned.
He also encouraged athletics in
every way. In the presence Of q
throng of midshipmen he even boxed
with one Of them himself and allowed
the nose of the vice admiral of the
navy to be smartly tappede by his en-
thusiastic young oppOnent-to the
manifest glee of the assembly and to
the shuddering horror of the old navy
when 1t it learned Of this innovation.
BY the end of Porter's superinten-
dency, in 1869, the Naval academy had
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
seagofng habits have been acquired
without sacrificing progress in the
theory and science of the naval pro-
fession. During their four years at
the academy its graduates have felt
its potent spell and have afterward
won honor for it and themselves. The
results achieved challenge comparison
with those Of any college, and have
made a reputation second to none.

Can Shyness Be Cured7

What is the remedy for shyness
What is the shy man to do in order
that he may be shy no longer?
The remedy is simple, and is to be
found by consideration of the cause.
The shy person is shy in the presence
of strangers only. Let him have no
opportunity Of meeting strangers, and
let the opportunity be abolished not
by abolition Of the meetings, but by
abolition of the strangeness. In other
words, shy persons are those who in
early life had not practice and no ex-
perience in meeting strangers, and so
having the attention Of strangers di-
rected to them and attracted to them.
If the meeting with strangers becomes
customary it loses Its strangeness.

The Food Administration at Wash
ington recommends the faithful OBJ
servance of the regulations regarding
the shipment of eggs. 1t is expressly
urged that country shippers give par
ticular attention to eggs; take extra
care in handling, and above all be
sure and candle them before shipping.
They must be candled before shipping
even if shipped from one town to an
other. If this is not done the penalty
is, confscation of stock and revoca-
ton of license. Receivers are not sup
posed to accept eggs that are not
candled. If they do they are liable to
the same prosecution that shippers
are, and the government inspectors
insist on knowing the name of the
shipper of such lots.

Thirty-four Millionaires in Fla.

A report just issued by the
commissioner of Internal Revenue
giving detailed statistics of in
come tax collections throws an in
teresting light on this subject,
Counting five per cent as a
reasonable average return on a
large foftune there are thirty-four
millionaires in Florida, as there
are that many individuals whe re-
port annual incomes of $50, 900
and over.
There is one person in Florida
who has an income between $780,
600 and 100000 a year. No
names are given and every one is
left free to guess as to the identi-
ty Of the holders of the mammoth
fortunes in the state of Florida.
According to the figures made
public, 1,765 made income tax re-
turns.-Orlando Reporter Star.

Special Boat Tax Due

Payment is now due of the spe-
Dial which the government levies
and exacts on the owners OF
launches, pleasure or other varie-
tn, which should be made in the
office of the collector of internal
revenue.
Chief Field Officer Savage, of
Collector Cathcart's office, is anx-
ious that boat owners in this dis
trict shall not again make them
selves liable to a fine, which is
$1,000 in addition to the tax, by
4neglecting to report their boats to
his Office and pay the required tax
as soon as possible for only few
days remain in which it may be
done before the fine will be added
to the comparatively small a.
mount of the legal tax which must
be in the collectors office before
July 81.
Other special taxes now due
and payable to the collector of in
ternal revenue are those levied on
theatres, cigar manufacturers,
pool room owners, cleo dealers,
ship and custom house and pawn
brokers, many Of whom have NOT
yet made the required payments
and are running close to the time
limit. after which penalties will be
added to the amount of taxes due

Protein and It's Value

Every farmer knows that nitro
gen is one of the chemical ele-
ments which neither his crops nor
his stock can do without. The
same is true of nitrogen in human
food. 1t is absolutely necessary
for the building and repairing of
body tissues and can be obtained
only from the food substance or
nutrient known as protein.
The foods usually classed as
rich in protein are milk, cheese,
eggs. meat, poultry and fish ;
dried legumes, such as peas,
beans, cowpeas, soy beans and
peanuts; and almonds and some
other nuts. Wheat, oats and some
other cereals also furnish consid-
cradle protein.
A man at moderate muscular
work is believed to need about
3 IL ounces of protein a day, and
a family consisting of father
mother and three small children
needs about IL ounces day. Real
economy in the use of protein
foods lies not in leaving them out
! of the diet, but in choosing and
combining kinds which will sup.
ply the total amount needed a:
cheaply as circumstances permit
