For one thing, there ,ere seventeen bouquets of roses listributed 'e,bonrt the house. And vhen Elizabeth noted therm and ther tributes i» her heme-coming, he said nothing.

Not to Look Attractive Brit to Pro- duce Perfect Realth. Standing straight, like thinking straight, is necessary for perfect health. The majority of people have an idea that the soldier is trained to walk straight --head up, shoulders back—in order to"look attractive and to have a distinctive carriage of his body. _ Soldiers are drilled and trained to walk as they do in order to keep the human machinery in proper working condition and not for ap- pearances. If they could do better work—that is be kept in befits/- health—by efiter .health—by any other attitude, it would, be taught thein. The military man is trained to walk so as to give every organ in- side the body plenty of room to do its work—to keep vital vessels front bending or telescoping. As the body grows in height the blood vessels and the organs tihey supply grow to correspond with the height of the body. For example: A youth grows up to be a man six feet tall. If the development has been natural every blood vessel, nerve and tate,stinal organ has 'grown`to, fit and'work at this height of the body. They are adjusted to do their best.work at this particular development of this individual, whether he or she ,be short or tall. Now, if through carelessness' er lack of understanding of this impor- tent matter, the individual walks with a,siouch or stoops while sand- ing, he is .bending or teleseoping several if not all'the vessels which supply the body and tissues with nourishment; repair material, blood or oxygen. The.. same injurious conditions are brought about when a growing girl bends :over while reading, writing. srr.at work. The latest fad in Wo- man's walk the slouch -is certain to compress the internal organs,' bring •about•;Iocal inflammation or obstruction, and, of course;, in time injure the health. If you -go about with a drooping .Bead, if you let your neck muscles become so weak that,, you cannot hold up your head, you are indan- ger o.f ' ill health slnvviy stealing. upon you.. 1)o you know why so many, seden .tary persons hav;e'indigestrion, tor- • pid liver, .poor.... ;complexion I Bo- co se.,the.y. pc); about, or sit around' with. the internal organs• telescoped. oar doubled, ripen each other.; This causes interference with the 'free flow of 'blood, presses upon some evening in the liver or closes a net..., In 'feet, ju's't. picture for yourself en -intricate machine of muscles, tissues, gland's, vessels and . their various ducts, titny channels and N'alves, all in their places, each do- ing their allotted . work without trouble and effort, confined in a framework built to hold them, and all. this wonderful meehenism grad- -trolly interfered with by the bend- ing or buckling t�f this frame and its covering. • If you were looking at such a Ma- ine• made by mao, yeti. would see once the necessity of keeping the ante upright and uninjured.

The Scalp is Still in a Glass' Lits in Care of an Old Physician., e • William Thompson has just died in Milburn, England. The , last time Thompson was seen in Omaha, Nebraska, was one day in 1867, when he came up the main street of the frontier town carrying' his scalp in a bucket of water to prevent its becoming so hard and dry that it wouldn't grow when it was sewed back on his head, where it belonged previous to an altercation he had - with Black Thunder, a Sioux chief. 'But the attempt to graft it back on the skull was a failure, and for the last 40 years the ,scalp has reposed under a glass case in' the Omaha publie library where it is to -day_ When he lived in Omaha, Thomp- son was a telegraph lineman for the Union Pacific Railroad. Thomp- son possessed a unique distinction of being one of the few men to be scalped by Indians and to live to take his hair away from the red man who lifted it. Lineman on New Railroad. Thompson went to Omaha from England while • the Union Pacific was under construction and became a lineman for the company. In 1867 there was a break irrthe wires Qat' on the road, and a telegraph repair gang on a handehr was sent out to make repairs. Thimpson was _•one of this• gang. There' : had been no Indian trouble for some time. and no thought was given the red men when the wires went down. The end of the track was by:that time .almost to Cheyenne and the telegraph break was known to be something• like 200 miles east of that point.' The break was found and -Thomp- son put on - his "climbers" and went up the pole to replace a Gross i rni that had been broken and had carried down the wires. ,His com- panions on .the. handcar went.back for half a niile to strengthen a pole that was leaning too. mueli. Thomp- son heard a shout, and looking,: up the track, sew his eompanio�ns on the hand -car "beating it" up the track as rapidly as possible. One, for whom there was not much room at the handle -bars., was gesticulat- ing wildly to him. Then Thompson heard a noise be- low him and looked down. He al- most fell from the pole in constern- ation. A dozen Indians, painted and ready .for warfare, were stand- ing at the foot of the telegraph post. They had crawled out of the high grass and weeds, and still others were coming from the samee. source. "White man, comedown," grin- ned the red leader. g ArNot on your life," answered Tgstn son, "Guess , P GassTllstay wlxexe I am.. -Seai.lped by Indian - The Indian eeuld not.understand English very well, but he under- stood. what Thompson meant. ::He \A`aSted no time in 'words, :but, rais- ing his • "rine, he" took a ;'shot at Thompson, whorn the bullet struck sqitarely in the head. The lineman. fell like -t bag of sancd and struck the soft h Wi 1 savage swooped down on him, ran his knife two or three times around the white man's head and 'with a jerk lifted the scalp. The bullet did not kill Thompson and only stun- ned him a moment. He. was con- scious when his scalp was taken, but had nerve enough to remain quiet. The Indian thought him dead and paid no further attention to 'him. But Thompson saw the red man put his 'scalplock under his belt. Then the Indians removed a piece of the track and Iay in wait for a, train. A freight came along and ,was wrecked. The Indians killed the crew and found a barrel of whisky in the wreckage. They pro- ceeded to get drunk, fired the wreckage and had a big dance. Refused to Grow. Thompson, lying on the ground, kept watch of Black Thunder and saw the scalp slip from the Indian's belt. When the chief discovered Lis loss, instead of searching for it, ehe ; went over to the prostrate -white man and simply tore another piece of hair off Thompson's head and stuck it where the other piece. had been. Later in the night, aft'e'r the Indians were stupefied with liquor, Thompson crawled over, got his scalp, stuck the thing in his pocket, and struck off down the railroad track. Early the next morning he met a relief train com- ing from Omaha. He was taken aboard the train, carrying soldiers from Fort Omaha, wenton to where the wreck was, but the Indians had decamped.. Then Thompson put his scalp in a bucket of water in order to keep it from getting dry and went onto' Omaha on the special train: Arriving there, he brought. the scalp to a physician and had the thing put back on his head. But it wouldn't grow, and some time later he made .a present of it to Dr. George -L. Miller, who pIaeed it in the museum departmetm of the pub- lic library, where it reposes in a nice, glass case. Friends Didl'Not believe It. But. Thompson had had enough of the west, and he soon went back to England; settling in, Milburn. For 30.years�and more he used to write to, his old physician in 'Omaha and .ask'how. his 1ealp was getting along. Those Letters were received just once "a year—upon the anni- versary -of the:incident. None Have been received for thine years, how- ever. . Although Thompson had a heed devoid of hair, his story was never believed in his old E•iiglisb home, so he wrote to former friends in Omaha, and one time, years ago, he had the railroad company make an of&davit to the facts in the case and send it to him. This he proudly ex- hibited as proof that his scala was in the Omaha library and that it had been lost to Black Thunder, the Sioux chief, in . 1867. In turning the "relic" over to the Library it was with the understanding that Thompson .could have it back when- ever he called for it. Now that he is dead the library comes into ab- solute possession•of the object. • llt'taeflts of Travel., • Mrs. WhittleraeWha;t.'dsifoil tful manners year daughter hast.

ROMAN BRITAIN. The Question of. the Roman Ad. Taws ,Into Seatlancl. A eorrospondent of the Man- ehester Guardian in an ;Petiole ,on "Roman.Britain and the Resu1'bs of Excevations_in 1818," says that the latest problem ,attacked in connec- tion witlothe onnec-tions\=itlothe history of Rozlui) Brit- ain is the question of the Roman adveno:es into Scotland. Three such advances .were ree e in 'three successive centuries, The £first Of th.eie, led by Agiicoia, has beenfel- l-Owed ;with certainty el1-owed";with;certainty ,as far as InoTi- tutliill, some•15 miles above Perth: Beyenclebhis point are a number of possible sites,:not yet proved to be Roman, In August of 1913 Dr, Geo: Macdonald and Dr, Ha,verfield out trial trenches on a great encamp n)ent in 'Yhanwells,. Aberdeen- shire; which covered 120 acres, and may have . acconainodated 15,000 men. It was surrounded by. a ram- part 20 ,feet thick, and a ditch 9 feet wide. Though no relics have have yet been found an examina- tion of the defences convinced the excavators that they were on the side of a Roman legionary camp, The excavations will be continued this year. Another problem that has been successfully attacked by modern methods is the question of the date of construction of the Roman wall that runs from Tyne to Solway. The work of Mr, I?. G. Simpson, carried out for some seven years With scrupulous care, and only just completed, seems to place ib beyond doubt that the original stone wall was erected by Hadrian. The evi- dence is drawn mainly from the mile -castles and turrets which oc- cur at regular intervals between the forts. No less than 13 turrets were located in 1913. On the wall of Antonine, which runs from the Clyde to the Forth, Dr. Macdonald has made discoveries bearing on the line and mode of construction of the rampart, while at Balmuildy, just north of Glasgow, an import- ant fort which lay on the line of the Antonine Wall—whose northern ramparts were ,• in fact, actually spliced into it -=•has been almost completely excavated. A perfect inscribed altar was found o11 this site in 1913. A Land of No Poverty. Principal Adeney, who is new on a tour .round the world, hags apeiit two months in 'the North Island, New Zealand. He sends to the Ohristiian -World some of his impressions. The first is one of brightness, both of climate and of people. Dr. Adeney adds: "We have never conte across any indication of poverty,, never seen a ragged garment or a slum districts There is practically no un- employment and no want. Every- body has at least enough to sat, and niost enjoy many comforts and lux- uries. That hideous palace of mis- ery, the workhouse, is unknown. There are pleasant homes for the aged, provided by the State, where men and women can retire at the early age of sixty, at the s'anle time drawing a pension of ten shillings a week. The average wages of a. man working in the timber mills is from £3 to C4 a week." New Zealand, in Dr. Adeney's opinion, is rightly named ' `the working man's para- dise." f;f Keep 'f`lrese In Mind. Don't sleep on your left side, for it eauses too great a pressure on the heart. Don't sleep on your right side, for it interferes with the res- piration of that lung. 'I)K)m't sleep on your stomach, for that interferes with the respiration of both lungs and makes breathing diffloult. Don't sleep on your'hack, for this method of getting rest is bad for the ner- vous system. Don't sleep sitting on a chair, for your body falls into an unnatural position, and you cannot get the necessary reinxation. Don't sleep standing up, for you may top- ple .over and crack your skull. Don't sleep. ' London's l;fonieless. The annual census of homele�ss persons in the British capital has just been taken by the London Coun+ty Council.
