saIutina the Quarter psck.

One Of the oldest customs in the
navy and one that is. often puzzling to
the landsman is that Of ''saluting the
quarter deck" Many have the hazy
idea that the national colors are its
object and that it is merely a naval
fad. While to certain extent 1t is a
fad. it is one of hoary antiquity, be-
Ing a survival of the days when a cru
ciffx was placed on the stern of a ship
and was always saluted as a matter
of course. When the crucifix was taken
away the old feeling still remained,
and men continued to salute the place
where it had been. The younger gel
GRAFTON initiated their elders, and the
salute became habit and continues
until this day.-Los Angeles Times.

; THE CAPTAINS PLAN.
His Rule For Fighting Seasickness
Didn't Work Both WAYS.

DIDN'T Work Both Ways.
A young woman who recently made
trip to Europe decided to consult
the captain of the ship as to the best
preventive for seasickness. Having
armed herself with a letter of intro
duction to the officer, she waited until
the ship had cleared Sandy Hook, says
a writer In the Bohemian, and then
approached him. She described her
fears and begged for remedy.
My dear LADY," replied the captain,
with an amused smile, .'you will not
be troubled with any illness if you will
do what | tell you. Most ladies con-
fine themselves to their staterooms and
thereby incur the very thing they fear.
Now. If you will stay on deck, get all
the fresh air you can. walk up and
down. take good physical care of your
self and try not to think of trouble you
will never be seasick" y
The lady thanked him. She followed
the directions faithfully, and when the
ship ran into the tail end of heavy
northwest gale she never felt qualm.
She appeared regularly at meals and
enjoyed herself thoroughly.
AS the gale was abating she be-
thought her that it was due the cap
tain that she should thank him for his
good advice and. approaching the deck
stewa1a, intrusted him with message
asking for an interview. In due time
the steward returned, saying that the
captain was unable to grant her an
interview.
"Why not" she questioned. "Why
won't he see me?"
Captains compliments. MISS" said
the steward. ''but he's suffering with
bit of seasickness which as lasted
two days now. an he amt in shape to
talk to you.''

Meals and Brains.

We give too much thought to our
meals, for instance. They need con-
triving, and it is pleasant to have them
set temptingly upon table on which
fresh flowers are arranged and to eat
them in room wherein there is not a
speck of dust, but it is not right that
our bodies should be fed at the expense
of our souls or that the dust should be
taken from every ledge in our house
and left to gather thickly in our brains.

The British commander was a brave
man who had fought his ship like

of being exposed to another broadside
at pistol range. the aspect of the blood
stained. half naked privateersmen
grouped at their guns with matches
lighted was too much for him. Cap

calling off the minutes so that his voice
could be heard aboard the packet:

But he had not said -Four when
the British colors fiuttered down from
