To the parent as well as the educator the

an alarming increase of spinal curvature

some reason for it. II we accept the state

appointed TO investigate the cause OF this
increase, we find it charged to the account
OF sloping writing. with its unavoidable
faulty positions.

sidewise TO the desk "a very common posi-
tion), not onlyis one shoulder usually high

the eyes are not equidistant from his work,

rhe .ecret Of oarneld,. romb.

Lieutenant Clarence r. Edwards had
charge OF the battalion which for many
months was placed as a guard around tho
temporary tomb Of Garfield, and IL was at
the lieutenant's suggestion and under his
supervision that weird and extraordinary
thing was done at that tomb. Plenty of ev-
idence was furnished Of intentions to get
the remains Of Garfield and hold them for
a ransom, and some of the plots as they
were discovered revealed extraordinary
skill. The lieutenant at last suggested that
Garfeld's remains be removed secretly from
the tomb. so that even IL would be thieves
got access to the tomb they would be foiled.
His father and two or three other citizens
Of Cleveland, who were friends OF Garfield,
approved the plan, and one night they took
the caskct from che temporary sarcopha-
gus and placed 1t in a vault in the ceme-
terry. Then another casket was filled with
a SUFFICIENT amount Of earth to give 10
weight, and that ono was placed in the
temporary Garfield tomb. Thousands OF
persons for more than year visited that
tomb and gaIed sorrowfully upon the sar.
cophagus which contained nothing but an
earth filled caskst. Garheld's remains were
removed TO their permanent abiding place,
as everybody supposed, from the temporary
tomb, whereas they were. in fact, taken
from another vault. and the secret was
only revealed to- few intimate friends
