I For Bronchial Congiu take Wood» > Great Peppermint Cure. 1b 6d itd A difficulty besetting commanders of ironclads is that of finding exercise for the men. In the old days, with rigging to run up and sails to be adjusted, the crow were automatically kept in healthy trim. At present, beyond washing decke and polishing the gum, there is little falling within the ordinary day's work to keep a strong man in good condition. A change has recently been wrought in this matter by adding to the ironclad"s crew a master of gymnastics. The Swedish system has been selected and authorised by the Admiralty for dailv use. It is a rather severe ordeal, especially when, as in the case on his Majesty's ships, it is. extended over 20 minutes. It is believed that at the end of that time every muscle of the human bodv has been thoroughly exercised. The men are mustered on the quarterdeck in squads of 40 or 50, and seem | to enjoy the performance as heartily as bovs in ».ho playground. In summer timo. in the late afternoon, another helpful exercise is provided in the way of swimming. The gymnastic exorcise is imperative. every member of the crew taking part in it. The sea bath is oDtional. and may, of course, be enjoyed only by swimmers. Mr H. W. Lucy, in the "Sydney Morning Herald," aavs that it is pretty to see the men in their bathing drawers clustered along the the bulwarks for'ard. At the sound of the bugle they dive together, som.o from the main deck, all from Drettv cood heights. For a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes the sea around the great ship is lively with bobbin? heads. With the officers jiujitsu is a favourite exercise, and is daily practised with a master of tho nrt. A mattress is spread on the ouarterdeck. and two m=m strive- for mastery with desperate determination.
