The landsman, if he has a grievance, raises his voice shouts as lustily as he cap--until he attracts attention, and he may com- bine with hie fellows and form a trade union, so as to mprove his condition by collective bargaining. The blue. jacket belongs to the "Rilent Navy"; he lives and moves and has his being under the shadow of the Articles of War, subservient to the King's Regu- lations of byday and bynight, snd from the day when he dens his uni- form he ceases to enjuy many of the privileges of the eivilian of his own ciass, because he has become a King's man. The world hears of the cry lor a liv. ing wage ¢f unskilled workers ashore; railwaymen snd others put forward their claims to better conditions of life and labor, and much is made of the increased cost of living. But amid all the talk of labor unrest, what thought has yet been given by the na- tion to those employes of ihe state who--4t0 paraphrase a nursery rhyme ~ man the ships which guard the seas, which feed the Empire, on which floats the British Navy? "Ships, vet more ships," is the annual demand of the nava enthusiast; but those ships might as well be Dutch ovens for all the good they would be to the nation and the Empire if it were not for the skilled officers and men who trans form them into floating fortresses, huge and terrible articulate engines of war, Ships we anust have, of all thé 'various classes necessary to the constitution of an adequate fleet; docks we must have, large enough and numerous enough Tor those ships; dockyards we must have so that the men-of-war may be repaired in due {season. There is much material to be i bought year by year, and the bill is a large one, bub the soul of the navy- the secret ob its prestige--is the per- sonnel.

The able sea- man was given 38 cents a day under an Admiralty circular issued on June 14, 1862, and he receives 40 cents to- day, and in the meantime the value of the penny has changed against him. He has better food, he is treated with more consideration, his quarters are more comfortable, he dogs not have such long "spells" cut off from the shore with nothing but "hard tack" 19 satisfy his hunger, and he has more ave; but in actual pay the average man has his pocket no better lined than his predecessor of the wooden of sixty years ago. This is a fact, use there is. no com- parison between the 'conditions of the working classes ashore in 1852 and their condition to-day; everything has changed, and changed for the better.

Histor f gtorically the manufacture of cotton cloth in Great Britgm dates! from the year 1600, or thieghbouts. A | | petition of London merchawes? it 1621, | preserved amongst the slate papers, sets forth that "about 20 vears past divers people in this kivgdom chiefly in the ty of Laucash have found out the of other fustians made of a kir bombast or down, being a fruit of t earth growing upon little shrubs or bushes, brought into this kingdom by the Turkey merchants from Buoiyroa, Cyprus, Acra (Acre), commonly called cotton Wool? This is the first unmistakable reference in history to the weaving of cotton fab- ries in England, and only 20 years later there is a historical reference ta an éxport trade inMhese cotton gomls. A" book called "The Treasure of Traf- fie." by Lewes Roberis, published in 1641, speaking of the textile industries of the town of Manchester says: -- "They buy cotton wodl in London tnat | comes from Cyprus and Smyrna, snd a! home work the same and perfect it into fustians, vermillions, dimities, and other such stuffs and then return it to London where the same is vent ed and sold and pot seldom sent into foreign parts." Thus were Manchester cottons first intreduced -- nearly 300 years ago--into fordign markets. For the next 200 years the cotton industry continued to he carried on in a small but graduvally increasing way in Lancashire, side by side with the older textile eralts of woollen, lin- en, and silk weaving. For mest of this time cotton was used ouly for the weft or "filling" of cotton clothg, the warps being of linen or wool, for it was not until the water frame was in- troduced towards the end of the eigh- teenth century that cotton, a compara- tive short fibre could he spun into yarns fine enough and strong enough for warps. The ipventions of Arkwright, Crompton, Hargreaves, Cartwright, aud others durmig the period 1375- 1825 and the application first of water power and then of steam power to the driving of the new machines, led to an enormous expansion of the cdtton industry in Lancashire. Kay, An Inappropriate Melody. It is curious to hear how old tunas now and then crop up, under inap- propriate conditions, in various parts of the globe. At a small town in India--a non. military station--where there was nothing in the shape of a military band, it accurred to a few of the more enlightened inhabitants that it would be an improvement to the place if something of the kind could be form- The official in charge of the small detachment of local native police was approached, and he, with the aid of subscriptions from the more wealthy native citizens, contrived. to raise a small corps of fifes and drums. The band was making rapid strides towards efficiency, under the tuition of an old retired native band sergeant, when one of the head men of the place--a wealthy native--suddenly diel. His relatives, remembering how liberally the deceased had subscribed towards the band fund, and thinking how largely it would add to the gran. deur of the ceremony, asked that the musicians might be allowed to take part in his funeral procession. Their request wgs granted, and the relatives were delighted with the ef- fect; but contemplate the consterna. tion of the few European speetators when they heard the local band, at the head of 'the procession, rattling away at the only tune they were at all proficient in, "Ta-ra-ra-boom- de-ay!" This was repeated again and again throughout the whole distance from %he residence of the deceased to the burial ground---about two miles. In a Village School. This story is fold of a successful British general who was far from be- ing a brilliant scholar at school.

A ---- A -------- o, The Long Forest of Africa.

There are gape in it, and the trees change in nd somewhat, with change of lati. tude, but upon the whole, it has the same character throughout. The alti. tude above the sea changes regularly with decrease of latitude. Near the Cape the forest grows at seasdevel; in Natal and the Transvaal its Tati tude increases to. 3.000, 4.000 ahd 5,000 feet; and on spproaching the quater it rises to 7.000, and to 10,000 feet.

It is good for "ome string of cash." The provision against forgery is simple to the paint of severjity-- ""Counterfeiters hereof will be-execut ed. Persons giving information of counterfeiters will be rewarded with taels 250, and in addition, will receive the property belonging to the erin inal." The head of the Emperor whe gave the order and the lopped heads of the counterfeiters have long since mouldered into impalpable dust, the property of the criminal vanished and "left not so much as a shade but the faded old bauk-note, pressed betwee: sheets of glass and framed in carver teak, still croaks its harsh warning to him who cap understand it. The goveraments of continental Europe depend exclusively upon col or-work, to protect thei ir paper cur rency, snd several of the large banks ol issue have civil engineers in charge of -their bureau of engraving and printing -- though what connection there may be between engineering and engraving is a mystery, Many Naliag bank-notes are easy to counterfeit. The Bank of Bpain has of late aban doned itz own plant use its notes were imitated so = sssfully that counterfeits were accepted by the bank withont question, A private concern now dees the work The Bank of England notes, dccord- ing to a tiyth that probably will never die, cannot be counterfeited As a matter of fact, they can be imitated readily enough, for little attempt made to protect the notes beyond the use of a water-mark paper. The wat er-mark can be easily copied. A sen sitized gelatine film, soaked in olld water, after contact with an original water-mark, will show every detail in clear relief. A thin film of copper depesited upon this forms the basis upon which a matrix in celluloid is made. If a sheet of paper is pasted upon this matrix and rubbed with glass-paper the exact water-mark is produced. One practical safeguard of great ef. fectiveness is the custom of the Bank of England to cancel every note that is returned to the bank and issue another in its place. - This, and the practice of keeping a record of the numbers of all 'bank-uotes used in every business establishment, keep alive a keen sense of responsibility, which adds to security. The eustom of circulating soiled bank-notes, of course, gives the counterfeiter his best opportunity. Forgery is much more readily detected in a crisp, stiff, new bill than in a rumpled and dirty one. feurrent The First Turkey. Of all the people who ate turkey at Christmas, few. probably, knows that it was first introduced "into England in Henry VIII's time, and that the expedition which brought the bird to England cost that parsimonious. mon: arch £14000, We have hardly been just to the first Tudor king in the part that he had in the discovery of America. Columbus sent his bré who gave a favorable réply to his re quest for 'aid, but the brother was shipwrecked qn his return to Spain. and never delivered his message, and so Christopher was driven to apply again to Ferdinand and lsabelia, who gave him the aid he asked, with the resuld which sll the world knows. Henry, on his own account, "sent out an expedition of discovery in 1502. The lieutenant of the expedition which Henry sent out, and which was under the command of Sebastian Cabot, was one William Strickland, who, in consideration of his services, had a grant of new armonial bearings iby the style and title of Strickland of eamen. on the Wolds of Yorkshire. "He it was who introduced the turkey, and that bird surmounts the coat-{- arms of the Btricklands to this duy. Why this bird was called "turkey," when it came from America, is ex. plained by the fact that "Turk" was the ordinary name for all unspedified foreign things and foreigners at that time.
