The navies of ance and England have scarcely

the curtain of reserve la withdrawn it is in- teresting to contrast the methods of the two Hervices.

Discipline in both flects exists solely for the nation so that in the day of battle the will of the commander may be effective. Still, as education and knowledge spread, discipline may be maintained even when old, hard, coërcive methods are relaxed. Ia the English floor nobody may smoke except whon permitted. In the French floet any- body may smoke except whore forbidden. The British code of punishments makes crimes of trifling infractions of uniform regulations. French seamen are neither so smart nor so alert as ours, but, being spared certain vexatious rules, are conscious not' the

We are on the When it comes, we

shall have world peace.*

I note the serious character of friendly relations between officers and crews of the two fleets, All seem bont on roalising the idea of King Edward and Mr Loubet that the entente is not ambitious or provocative, but of the nature of insurance-a rational measure to isolate overy possible disturber of picce.

At the crowded fair Inst night I saw in

the poopshow pictures of the death of Nel- son and the battle of Trafalgar showing the popular belief that the ancient quarrel is now merely of historical interest.

Freschinen are not so gay as formerly, and Brest crews are specially serious. Therefore their heartiness for the new entente is strong proof that the whole nation is ready for a close alliance.

The navies of France and England exert a doublo influenco over each other. Both are examples to imitate in some things, warnings to deter in others. Practical, broad-shouldered, genial Englishmen fathers of daughters and sons, taxpayers by ecmpulsion to a larger amount than is safe. or necessary, naturally ask what are we going to get out of this French alliance? Of course, the answer is-Peace, but peace is the reward of efliciency, and one of the best means of gotting ready for war ie learning from our friends and enemies alb that they can teach us.

The first thing that strikes me in con- noction with the administration of the French navy is the rigid centralisation, the overlapp ng of authorities, and the effect of

political struggles on the executive. With- out the smallest protension or wish to criticio Fronch methods I cannot but think that in such a matter us gunnery........ the appointment of a military officer at headquarters to guide and control naval gunnery—is certain to cause friction, laxity, and deterioration, although the French guns are as good, or better, than the beat Germany can produce. At all events, if the information given me is correct Fronch targot practice at long distances does not even attempt the achievement of results which are already accepted as matters of course in the Royal Navy. This is the more remarkable as the French have invari- ably been the pioneers of almost every im. provenient in the material side of naval development. Ship armour, broechloading guns, subniarines, abolition of tausts and sails, &., are 'instances of French alertness to seize an idea from ́which John Bull re- coils with bovino determination.

ed in the relations that exist between the Maire of Brost and the naval authorities. Brittany is intensely Catholic, and the Northorn Squadron is religiously inclined. The maire un the other hand, is a Free Thought Socialist. The extreme Democrat hospitably incline, gave a banquet of 1,800 | covers on July 14, but in consequenes of the antipathy between Catholic and Freemason, the Minister of Marine refused permission for French seamen and soldiers to take part in the feast, and the crews of the British ships were thus debarred from attending, Admiral May declaring that the exigencies of the service prevented him from giving leave to the mm under his command.

The French fleet is to visit Eugland. If the Mayor of Portsmouth were to quarrel openly with tho Commander in-Chief nud the First Lord of the Admiralty were to side with the latter, and pursuade Admiral' Caillard te dutnin his men on board the French fleet in order to prevent them ac cepting the hospitality of the mayor, we should have an exact repetition of what has happoned hero, owing to the practice of al- lowing party politics to affect national interests.

A WOMAN LIVING IN LONDON-TELLS HOW SHE AND HER HUSBAND GOT RELIEF.

"I used to suffer terribly from nervousness and indigestion angl became very thin, weak and wasted. My appetite failed and the little food I ate caused me much pain and a tightness across the chest. My nerves were so weak that the least sound made me tremble. I also had acute headache from what proved to be an abscess.

"I began taking Mother Seigel's 'Syrup and very soon felt like a new being.

"I gained strength, and continuing with the Syrup soon became quite well. My husband also suffered in much the same way and the Syrup cured him as well. We always keep it in the house."Letter of January 26, 1905, from Mrs, Florence Nightingale Andrews, 209, Guinness Buildings, Columbia Road, Hackney Road, London, E.".

Nedher you nor your husband, relative or friend need suffer from these allments-simply get from your Chemist, a half-crown bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup, use it and it will cure you
