ORIGIN OF MILITARY SA-
LUTES.
They Were Intended to Show
Persons Intentions Were
Peaceable.
: ******** = ********'

The custom of firing a salute In
honor of admirals, captains and other
naval dignitaries as well as other forms
of greeting originated in the desire to
show to the person saluted that the
saluting persons was unarmed ana could
do the other no injury.
This was a very important matter in
the olden days when most people went
armed and violent encounters were
quite common. When anyone APP
preached another IL was necessary TO
assure the latter that no harm was In
tended, and this sign OF good faith
was made by the newcomers hand
ling his weapons in such way that
they would be useless for immediate
action. m
The present courteous raising Of the
cap or hat had its origin In the removal
of the basinet, or small metal helmet,
an act which showed an absence or
fear by leaving the head of the wearer
open to attack. and which likewise oc-
cupied his right hand. so that he could
practically make no assault.
The dropping of the swordpoint to
the ground now as when the sword was
in more active and ready use makes the
weapon temporarily OF no service, says
st. Nicholas. The bringing of arms to
"present" in salutation of superiors Is
a custom OF precisely similar origin.
The ancient custom of entering the
presence of royalty uncovered likewise
originated in the desire for safety. SO
also did that of retiring backward from
the royal presence. In either case the
person admitted to the throne, with
his sword-arm occupied in holding his
helmet, could not easily reach or use
his weapons. These precautions In
medieval times were very necessary,
when IL is considered that the king
prince or duke. being seated. would
not be able to defend himself immedi-
ately or even readily against sudden
attack.
The word salute" itself has the idea
of safety" in II. as II comes directly
from the Latin salus. signifying
"health." them welfare" To salute
is to wish health and safety The root
of the word goes back to the Sancrit
sar which m.ant TO protect or TO
guard"

WHY sALvEs FAIL TO
CURE ECZEMA,
They Clog the Pores-onIy a Liquid

Since the fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many diff
ferent salves have been tried for skin
diseases. But IL has been found that
these salves only clog the pores and
can not penetrate to the inner skin

germs are lodged.

Naval salutes are interesting Il
landsmen as well as to jack tars. TIL
artillery salute is the survival of one
of those ceremonial practices whicl
formerly had some definite meaning
and is meant to signify not only al
honor to the flag or representative o.
friendly nation but also that the ves-
sci saluting has no hostile intent.
Shotted guns fired by the full arma-
ment OF the ship were used in the sew
enteenth century, as IL TO say: Now
every gun is empty and we are UNI
armed" Blank salutes became the
eighteenth century fashion, but like
many other customs of that polished
formal period, were carried to a ride
ulous extreme.
When in due time II became the
practice to give a special salute for a
certain rank or accession the odd num-
Der of guns-in which al salutes are
measured-was selected in order that
the salute might open as well as close

vessels starboard. When the United
States first attained national standing
the existing national salute of twenty
one guns was adopted, in accordance
with the usage of other countries, by
our army and navy.
So In international usage the ma
tional salute for every country is OF
twenty one guns; while the American
national salute, used in our own coun-
try, is one gun for every state, forty
six guns now being fired on state oc-
casions. The earliest instance of this
domestic salute was that which his
tory records as given at the raising OF
the first American flag, when Captain
John Paul Jones fired thirteen guns.
one in honor of each of the thirteen
original states.
The number of guns fired In an ar
tillery salute varies in accordance with
the rank of the officer or parsonage
saluted. The presidents salute Is, OF
course, twenty-one guns. Admirals OF
the navy, generals of the army. gov
ernors of the states, ambassadors from

supreme court are saluted by a saivo
of seventeen guns. Salutes gradually
diminish in the number of guns fired
until they reach the lowest grade, seven
for a Junior commanding officer or our
consul at a foreign port.
Custom varies in European coun-
tries, but all foreign rules have more
powder burnt in their honor than is
consumed In the American presidential
salute. King Edward and Queen Alex
andra are saluted with salyo of oil
guns. and members OF the royal family
and important state and military per-
sonages receive fewer number, the
details OF which are of course set by
law. Kaiser Wilhelm outranks any
other contemporary sovereign, being
saluted by the largest amount OF noise,

Mr.. Steinberger who Is an artist,
has demonstrated to the world that
the open air life is a sure cure for tu-

AS a last resource he went to the

white oak tree, 40 feet from Mother
Earth, the artist established his home.
For three years he has lived in his
aerial castle. There, through summer
and winter he has slept on a bed of
boughs, done much of his own work,
received his friends, and breathed the
pure air which has brought back COM
plete health.
There are two means OF ascent to
the top of the tree. BY one a spur lad
der runs up n neighboring tree, from
which a horizontal bridge carries one
across to the house-tree, on which the
ascent is completed by a scaling lad
der. This, however, is too hazardous
for many of Steinberger's guests. He,
therefore, contrived a elf -dweller's
swing" by which visitors can be hoist
ed aloft by ropes and pulley.

The Period of Youth.

The ordinary human life is practice

that We now live Is but a mere frag-
ment OF what IL might be and of what
life the future certainly will become
after we have once acquired the higher
art of living. The average human in
FAINT has within him at birth a nervous
mechanism that possesses possibilities
OF development. both in amount and
completely, far beyond that OF any
member OF the race now living. Mil.
lions OF nerve cells are there all ready to
be developed into specialized groups
through experience. But our experi-
ence is as yet too brief and fragmen-
tary to develop any considerable por-
ton of them
During the vast period OF time man
has apparently been at work length

comitant nerve Elasticity and educa-
bility. Is briefest in the case OF races
and of individuals OF least intellectual
advancement. A survey of human
history will show that this important
period of nerve growth has been not
only heightened gradually with the
rising scale OF intelligence, but also
that there has been discovered a better
method of developing character dur
ing this period.--The Designer.
