SaIutinc the Quarterback.

Every time an officer or a seaman
goes upon the quarterback he salutes
It. He never by any chance forgets
this, one of the regular customs on
board, says Pearson's Weekly. The
quarterback is that part Of the deck
reserved by officers, and many people
think that the reason why it is sa-
luted is out of respect for those Of
ficers. The why and wherefore of the
saluting has far more Interesting
origin than that, however, and one has
to go back hundreds of years to find
the beginning of the custom. In the
old days a crucif1x used to stand on
the quarterback. In those days all
the sailors were Catholics, and, OF
course, every time they approached
the crucifix they crossed themselves
to show their reverence for the hSy
symbol. 1t is many long year ago
since the crucifix was there, but the
custom of saluting the quarterback,
which was a result of it, has been
handed down in the navy ever since.

from which the pedestal of the Lion
rises. That pedestal bears the simple
inscription-"June Is, 1915" The
Lion itself, so your guide would tell
you, weighed twenty-eight tons.
Many Monuments There.
The Lion Mound occupies a site
that was about the center of the Brit
ish lines, front not two miles long.
Behind lies the village of Mont st.
Jean, and further back the little town
of Waterloo, with the forest of Soign-
les near at hand. Before it stretches
the fiat field of Waterloo, waving with
corn in the summer, deep in mud In
the winter, across which two cobbled
main roads run away to the south
in the direction of Quatre Bras, from
which Wellington fell back only few
days before the great battle.
The whole battlefield can be COW
cred on foot in few hours. But for
it's history, it is most unprepossess-
ing spot. bitches and muddy roads
intersect the fields from which, even
today, the plough will turn up rusty
arms and bleached bones.
But the pilgrim can never forget
that he is on unusual ground. The
place bristles with monuments.

Mrs. Royalton was plump and fam
boyant, handsome, if one didn't mind
her pop eyes, which were brown and
brilliant. She was a sleek and glossy
woman dressed in the extreme of
style, apparently quite assured of her
bwn charms. Her motions were pleas
antly slow-she moved about with a
stately swanlike carriage. Her vocal
tones, too. Sere slow and smooth;
full of a sort of sentimental JUNCTION.
