10000 men in the army and they

Nearly every trade Is taught, from
plowing behind mule to skilled en-

The beauty about the army courses
is that once man starts on course

hances the beauty Of this garden city.
1t Is within easy reach of Rosyth by
rail, and special trains are always
available for the sailor-men. The
city is divided into the Old and the
New Town, the former occupying the
middle of the highest of three ridges
extending east and west. Castle Hill,
Cold Town. is more than a mile
long, and rises with a regular but
rather steep acclivity from the palace
Of Holyrood, which is at the eastern
end, to the huge rock on which
stands Edinburgh Castle, almost five
hundred feet above the level Of the
sea. From Princess street, the busi-
ness thoroughfare, a wonderful view
can be had Of the castle and the sur
rounding hills. The street is lined
with hoG'es and shops along the
northern side, a beautiful park being
on the southern side.
Edinburgh Castle, which will be
, rem embered as the scene of many
of the escapades Of Mary, Queen Of
Scots, is always particularly inter-
esting to the sailor-men. Scotch las
sizes act as guides, and the tales Of
Old World romance are doubly in
teresting when told by these escorts.
