Many officers think that they should be paid for all the time they give to their unit, and express the | belief that if adequate remuneration were offered, there would be a noti- ceable revival of interest, But it is not the militia only that | has difficulties to contend with, but | the permanent force units, are carry- ing on under many discouragements. 'For instance, the R.C.H.A., has lost 8ix men for every one recruited with- in the past year and a half. This is due to men buying their discharge. | Within the first three months a man may purchase his discharge for $40, and after three months he must pay at the rate of $4 for every month of his unexpired time. After the high- er rates of pay went into effect the buying out was accelerated. Fhe per- fod of enlistment is now two years, | instead of three years, and this is a great advantage, especially to the Its stated that among the wie] sures of reform that aré being in- troduced at the Portsmouth peniten- tiary is the abolition of the striped and large-checked convict suits that were always regarded as a humilia- tion. They are being replaced by a one-color bluish-grey suit.' The chief redson assigned for the distinctive uniform was to prevent escape. Prev- fous to 1894 the inmates of Cana- dian federal penjPgntiaries wore a two-color Se yellow suit. One trouser leg was brown and the other vellow, and the coat and cap were the same. In 1894 this suit was con- demned; and a plain gray homespun suit was issued. With the appoint. ment of Douglas Stewart as inspect- or in 1895, three kinds of suits were adopted. The plain gray for first- class prisoners, a gray and black check suit for second class, and a red and gray eheck for the third class. Gradually the plain gray suit was done away withyand a star was | placed on the grey check suit to indi- | cate that the wearer was a first class | prisoner. The gray check suit was | abolished, and the more distinctive | red suit retained for all, classifica- | tion being indicited by, a brass star IH TTT] HHA = (Em Ey ~ } SO Gruen who would not labor be- yond their strength in any other manner continue to test to over-capacity their eyes.
