FIRING A SALUTE.
The Way Two Naval Grecnhorns Did |
IL on q warshIp.

IL on a warship.
"On one OF Uncle Sans warships
once" said naval officer, I'VE had
enlisted among our able seamen two
Irishmen, Mike and Barney. They had
come aboard three days after they had
landed in the country, but they learned
some things so quickly that they had
acquired very definite idea OF the
meaning Of the Fourth of July long be-
fore the day arrived, which was some
thing like a month after we had sailed
on our cruise. 1t chanced that the two
were on an early morning watch to-
gether when Independence day dawned,
and they at once began to plan for Its
proper welcome. They seemed to real
ize, you see, that there was necessity
for an unusual display of patriotism.
Barney suggested they fire a salute
from one OF the forward eight pound
ers, but Mike feared that would rouse
the entire ship. 'Niver moind,' an
swered Barney. DO ye hold a bucket
feminist the muzzle, an twill deaden
the sound And three minutes later
that gun went OF with such roar as
brought every man of the crew out Of
the midst OF peaceful dreams.
II sent for Barney. Now, my man,
said l, tell me everything
"'Sure,' he faltered, 1t was only n
bit NV a CELEBRATION because Nv our In
dipindence'
"'And where's Mixer demanded.
"'Captaln, dear he groaned, he
wlnt afther a bucket Nv wather, an II
he cor back as quick as he wint he's
due roisht now"
And then the officer closed his story
with the simple statement, But Mike
was never recovered"

Why savaees Turn In Their Toes.

In the first place, the foot naturally
takes that position when it has never
been confined by boots or the ankle
distorted by high heels. Convenience
is also Gu the side of the natural posi-
tion of the foot in the case of the saw
age, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground
in forests. Consequently his progress
would be much impeded If he turned
his toes out to catch these obstacles
instead of brushing them aside and
outward, as he now does. Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as a
help to his hands than we do, and 1t
is obvious that In doing this he must
turn his toes In.
