work and no further salute is given during
the officers stay, no matter how frequently
he may pass them.
When an officer enters mess-hall where
soldiers are eating, he removes his hat and
the soldiers rise to their feet.
In speaking to an officer, the soldier must
use respectful language and neither laugh nor
get angry. On his part, the officer Is en-
joined to be dignifed at all times. to keep his
temper, and under no circumstances must he
strike soldier OF even use abusive language,
no matter what the provocation.
When funeral takes place in the army,
the procession is formed with the privates in
the van, followed by the corporals, sergeants,
officer, who brings up the rear.
Upon the return from the grave, the com

the rear. The post flag remains at half-mast
during the ceremony.
Flags and guns are freely used in the army
for salutes, and the etiquette of this branch
is very exhaustive and comprehensive. There

government as well as visiting rulers, am
bassadors and the like.
So you see that the soldier ought to be a
model of politeness; and the sailor is SINH
larly situated only more so, because naval
etiquette is something tremendous in its com.
pleteness. There is a rule for everything, and
main truck to keelson, has its especial ETH
quette that must be observed.
Space will not allow the publication Of. a
treatise on naval etiquette, but few rules
may be given for civilians who visit man
of-war.
When you visit man-of-war, you will no.

is reserved for the crew. If you are without
an escort you mount this gangway and at
the top En- officer on duty will be found, VINO
will detail some bright sailor lad to serve as
an escort.
Should Won be so fortunate as to receive an
invitation to lunch or dine aboard ship, the
case is somewhat different. An officer VIII

you should permit the officer to step out first.
This not only saves you from embarrassment

salute to the quarterback and the flag that

Naval etiquette requires all persons to. sa-

a piece Of courtesy instantly recognized and
highly appreciated by the officers.
In getting into boat, intended to convey
more than one officer the junior always de-
sends first, and therefore it is the proper
thing when the boat conveys. guest, who
has no rank at all, for the civilian to descend
first. leaving vacant the seat in the extreme
after-part of the boat.
In moving about decks the escort always
precedes, and also in ascending companion
way or ladder. In descending, lady goes
first, reaching her hand upward to her escort.
When visiting the berth deck, where the
crew lives, the escort always removes his
cap. This part of the ship belongs to the
men; it is their home, and an officer respects
it the same as he would any private quarters.
On the gun-deck, where the men mess, this
rule does not apply, but it is observed again
in entering the ward-room, or junior officers
quarters.

the information that teeth are not
bones. as they appear to be, but a compost
ion of dentine, cement and enamel.
There are a great many other surprising
things to be learned from teeth. and study
of the subject throws considerable light upon
the habits of man and the lower animals.
You will often hear, for instance, that the
fact that we are provided with incisors or
canine" teeth is proof that we are car
niyorous by nature, because 1t is always from
an animals teeth that the diet intended for
it by nature is judged. But the canine teeth
do not prove anything and there is ample evl,
dence that man is a vegetarian by nature ana
a meat-eater by habit.
There are plenty of purely vegetableeating
beasts which have well-developed incisors; The
incisors of monkeys are much more developed
than those of man, but they~are exclusively
fruit-eaters the incisors being useful merely
for fighting.
most readily classified, inasmuch as the denti-
tion illustrates the food of the animal and the
general habits, which necessarily depend up
on its manner of procuring food. The teeth
by which these things are determined are not
the incisors but the, molars or grinders.

and nipping little things. With them it catch

to pierce the flesh deeply so as to open the
veins and bleed the victim to death.
1t would puzzle the ordinary man to locate
accurately the jugular vein, but tiger knows
by instinct, and can strike, it in an OK or
other four-footed animal without fail.
Behind the incisors in the monkey, as well
as in man, are found the pre-molars, which
are for cutting up what is. to be swallowed,
while the molars themselves perform the
grinding process. :,
1t is really wonderful how. admirably the
entire apparatus is adapted for the purpose
in view.
You find the most remarkable development
of the incisors of CANNES in the extinct sa-
bre-toothed tiger, contemporary, with the
cave men, which had two knife-shaped teeth
in its upper jaw so huge that it often died
in consequence of catching them in the low
err jaw, being thus unable to close its mouth.
Each of these weapons had keen saw on It's
inner edge.
The tusks of an elephant are the upper in
cisors of the beast. They are not intended
for chewing, however, but for defense. You
find all through creation the most astonish-
ing adaptation of the teeth to necessity.
The narwhal has a mighty ivory lance, ten
or twelve feet in length, and strong and
sharp enough to be driven through the side
of ship. That lance is simply the left, up
per incisor of the mammal Once in while,
BY freak, both of the upper incisors will be
developed in the narwhal so that it is equip
ped with two spears instead of one. The
tooth in this case is designed for weapon in
fighting. The female has no lance.
Look at the sawfsh. The entire length OF
