Meey ID SHOULDERS AT FORTY YVEARS—HARRY F.: You most cer, a pok can correct round shoulders even at Your age: Braces will do no good. Practice the chest raising ex- ercise and those for the chest, upper arms and phoulders to strengthen the muscles in these parts. SKATING—BPATRICE N.: Skat- ing will certainly develop the muscles of the legs and strengthen the anktes. It 1s a very healthy exercise for both thin and fat, espectally when done in the open air. INSOMNIA—MRS. H.G.: Insomnia does not always result from too much @nental work and the reason many Persons cannot sleep ts because they are not entitled to it, because they have not made sufficient physical or mental effort to obtain sleep. Since you lead such an Iinacti life you should do exercises and take a brisk walk and breathe deeply of the fresh alr an‘hour before retiring. ‘This will induce sleep. ERSPIRING FEET—MRS. L, 8. Yes, turpentine ie effective for tired, perspiring feet, but alcohol ts just as effective and more pleasant to use, Turpentine is especialiy recommended for soft corns also. Place a piece of absorbent cotton saturated with turpentine between the toes each night and the corn will soon disappear, RIDGES ON NAILS—EMMA R.: Acidity may cause this and also the brittleness, Rub cocoa butter on the nails at night and follow a careful diet to overcome the acid condition.

Mitchell at Orleans, and request him to order that no one shall mention the United States to the prisoner while he is on board ship. You will receive your written orders from the officer on duty here this evening. The court 1s adjourned without day.” I have always supposed that Col. Morgan himself took the proceedings of the court to Washington City, and explained them to Mr. Jefferson. Cer- tain it is that the President ap- proved them—certaln, that is, if I may believe the men who say they have seen his signature, Before the Nautilus got round from New Orleans to the Northern Atlantic Coast with the prisoner on board the sentence had been approved, and he was @ man without a country. The plan then adopted was sub- stantially the same which was neces- sarily followed ever after. Perhaps it was suggested by the necessity of sending him by water from Fort Adams and Orleans. The Secretary of the Navy—it must have been the first Crowninshield, though he is a man I do not remember—was re- quested to put Nolan on board a Gov- ernment vessel bound on a long cruise, and to direct that he should be only so far confined there as to make It certain that he never saw or heard of the country, We had few long cruises then, and the navy was | very much out of favor; and as al- most all of this story {s traditional, as I have explained, I do not know certainly what his first cruise was. But the commander to whom he was | intrusted—perhaps it was Tingey or Shaw, though I tnink it was one of the younger men—we are all old enough now—regulated the etiquette and the precautions of the affair, and according to his scheme they were carried out, I suppose, till Nolan died, When I second officer of the Intrepid, some thirty years after, I saw the original paper of instruc- tions. I have been sorry ever since that I djd not copy the whole of tt. It ran, however, much in this way “Washington (with a date which must have been late in 1807.) “Sir—You will receive from Lieut. Neale the person of Philip Nolan, late @ Lieutenant in the United States Army. “Phts person on his trial by court- martial expressed with an oath the wish that he might ‘never bear of the United States again,’ “The court sentenced him to have bia wish fulfilled, “For the present, the execution of the order ts intrusted by the Presi- dent to this department. “You will take the prisoner on board your ship, and keep him there with such precautions as shall pre- vent his escape. “You will provide him with such quarters, rations, amd clothing as would be proper for an officer of his late rank, if he were a passenger on your vessel on the business of his Government. “Tho gentlemen on board will make any arrangements agreeable to themselves regarding his society. He is to be exposed to no indignity of any kind, nor is he ever unneces- sarily to be reminded that he ts a prisoner. “But under no circumstances is he ever to hear of his country or to see any information regarding it, and you will specially caution all the officers under your command to take care that, in the various indulg- ences which may be granted, this rule, in which ‘his punishment is in- volved, shall not be broken. “It is the intention of the Gov. ernment that he shall never again see the country which he has dis- owned. Before the end of your cruise you will receive orders which will give effect to this intention. ‘Respectfully yours, “W. SOUTHARD, for t Seoretary of the Navy.’ If I had only preserved the whole of this paper, there would be no break in the beginning of my sketch of this story, For Capt, Shaw, if it were he, handed it to his successor in the charge, and he to his, and I suppose the commander of the Le- vant haa it to-day as his authority for keeping this man in this mild custody, The rulo adopted on board the ehipe on which I have met “the man without a country” was, I think, transmitted from the beginning. No mess liked to have him permanently, because his presence cut off all talk of home or of the prospect of re- turn, of polities or letters, of peace or of war-cut off more than half the talk mon liked to have at sea. But it was always thought too hard that he should never meet the rest of us, except to tough hats, and we finally sank Into one system, He was not Begins on This The Patrol of the Sun Dance Trail | A Big, Vital Story of Life in the Northwest \ World Daily Magazine Tucstiay, A priil. t7, ea SO aE He Bind The Evening World’s., Kiddie Kl Conducted by ub Korner Eleanor Schorer The Hermit Thrush. OBBY and ment, set sail for Sleepyland and Professor Bombus Just as dusk fell that evening. The Professor wae standing on the edge of his vast estate busily look ing through « giass that was twice too big for bim, “Boo!” said Beas playfully, ‘Boo yourself,” answered Bombus without moving. “I knew you were coming; heard you fall out of W ing World into here, Look!” and held the glasses to Bessie’s eyes. Just the sweetest song lilted on the breeze, seaningly from far off. Only by looking through the glasa at the gentle swelling of the black-speckled white throat could one know that It came from no other than the modest brown bird om the fence a few yards away. “My friend John Burroughs sald: ‘If wo take the quality of imelody as the test the wood thrush, the hermit thrush and the veery thrush stand at the head of our list of songsters,’” said Bombus. “I agree with him. Our friend yonder is a hermit thrush.” ‘The children listened and were truly delighted, “Every vesper. tims since the nut- brown mates have come I have lis- tened for that gong. They rarely sing while migrating either to the Gulf States in Winter or from them in Summer, Not until settied in a tidy nest, close to the ground, are they content, Then only do they give vent to the pure, sweet melody you hear. Neither bird habitually strays from ite own fireside. Mr. and Mrs, Thrush are truly domestic.” While Bombus was giving this in- teresting information they were walk- ing toward a@ thicket, bending low and going carefully so as not to star- tle the mother bird. The leaf-lined abode was much the same color as the surrounding vegetation and Bob was almost on top of the nest-home before they discovered it, Brave young motbker! She never filmched nor made a sound; merely Revealing the Strange Atonement of a Famous Traitor permitted to talk with the men, un- less an officer was by. With officers he bad unrestrained Intercourse, as far as they and he chose, But he grew shy though he had favorites; I was one. Then the Captain always asked him to dinner on Monday. Every mess in succession took up the invitation tn its turn. Accord- ing to the size of the ship you had him at your mess more or less often at dinner, His breakfast he ate in Ms own stateroom—he atways had a stateroom—which was where a senti- nel or somebody on the watch could see the door, And whatever else he ate or drank, he ate or drank alone. Sometimes, when the marines or sailors had any special Jollification, they were permitted to Invite “Plain- Buttons," as they called him. Then Nolan was,sent with some officer and the men were forbidden to speak of home while be was there, I be- lieve the theory was that the sight of his punishment did them good. They called him “Plain Buttons” be- cause, while he always chose to wear @ regulation army uniform, he was not permitted to wear the army but- ton, for the reason that it bore either the Initials or the Insignia of the country he had disowned, I remember goon after I joined the navy, I was on shore with some of the older officers fram our ship and from the Brandywine, which we had met at Alexandria. We had leave to male @ party and go up to Cairo and the Pyramids, As we jogged along (you went on donkeys then), some of the gentiomen (we boys called them “Dons,” tut the phrase was long since changed) fell to talk- ing about Nolan, and some one told the system which was adopted from the first about his books and other reading. AS he was almost never permitted to go on shore, even though the vessel lay in port for months, bis time at the best hung heavy; and everybody was per- mitted to lend him books if they were not published in America and made no illusion to it, These were common enough in the old days, when people in the other hemisphere talked of the United States as little as we do of Paraguay. He bad almost all the foreign papers that came into the sbip, sooner or later; only somebody must Pops Apr $3 go over them first, and cut out any advertisement or stray paragraph that alluded to America, This was a little cruel sometimes, when the back of what was cut out might be as innocent as Hesiod. Right in the midst of one of Napoleon's battles or one of Canning’s speeches, poor Nolan would find a great hole, because on the back of the page of that paper there had been an advertisement of & packet for New York, or @ scrap from the President's message. Tsay this was the first time I ever heard of this plan, which afterward I had enough and more than enough to do with. I remember it, because Poor Phillips, who was of the party, 8 soon as the allusion to reading was made, told a story of something which happened at the Cape of Good Hope on Nolan's first voyages; and it ts the only thing | ever knew of that voyage, They had touched at the Cape, and had done the civil thing with the English Admiral and t fleet, and then, leaving for a long crulse up the Indian Ocean, Phillips had borrowed @ lot of English books from an officer, whioh, in those day: as indeed in these, was quite a wind- fall. Among them, as the devil would order, was the “Lay of the Last Min- strel,” which they had all of them heard of, but which most of them had never seen. I think it could not have been published long. Well, nobody thought there could be any risk of anything national in that, though Phillips swore old Shaw had cut out the “Tempest” from Shakespeare be- fore he let Nolan have it, because he said “the Bermudas ought to be out and, by Jove, should be one day.” So Nolan was permitted to join the circle one afternoon when a lot of them s@t on deck smoking and read- ing aloud, People do not do such things so often now, but when I was young we got rid of # great deal of time so. Well, so it happened that in hie turn Nolan took the book and read to the othera; and he read very weil, as I know, Nobody in the circle knew a line of the poem, only it was all magic and Border obf airy, and was ten thousand years azo Poor Nolan read steadily through the fifth canto, stopped @ minute and drank something, and then began, without 4 thought of what was coming— ‘“Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself bath said," It neoms impossible to ae that any- body ever heard this for the ‘firet time; but all these fellows did then, and poor Nolan himeelf went on, etill unconsctously or mechanically ‘This te my own, may wetive land ‘Zmen they all saw something was to. By Edward Everett Hale Day; but he expected to get through, I suppose, turned a little pale, but plunged on— ‘Whose heart hath ne'er withly him burned, As home bie footstave he bath turned From wandering on « foreign strand !—— Uf euch there breathe, go mark him wel By this tlme the men were all beside themselves, wishing there was any way to make him turiu over two Pager; but he had not quite presence of mind for that; he gagged a little, colored crimson, and staggered on-— ‘For him go minstrel raptures swell; High thoagh bie titles, proud his new, Boundiene bie wraltt aa winh can claien, Deepite these titles, power, and peif, ‘The wretch, concontrd all in self," and here the poor fellow choked, could not go on, but started up, swung the book into the sea, vanishe Into bia stateroom, “And by Jove,” said Phillips, “we did not see him for two months again, And I had to make up some beggarly story to that Engii#h surgeon why I did not re- turn his Waller Soott to him.” That story shows about the time when Nolan's braggadocio must have broken down. At first, they said, he took @ very high tone, considered his Imprisonment a mere farce, affected to enjoy the voyage, and all that; but Phillips said that after he came out of his stateroom he never was the same man again. He never read aloud again, unless it was the Bible or Shakespeare, something else he was sure a But tt was not that merely, He never en- tered in with the other young men ex- actly as a companion again. He was always sby afterward, when I knew him—very seldom spoke unless he was spoken to, except to a very few friends. Ho lighted up occasionally I remember late in his life hearing him fairly eloquent on something or which had been suggested to him by! one of Fiechier’s sermons--but gener- ally he had the nervous, tired look of & heart- wounded man, When Capt. shaw was coming home If, ag I say, it was Shaw—rather to the surprise of everybody they made one of the Windward Islands, and lay off and on for nearly a week, The boys said the officers were sick of sult junk, and meant to have turtle soup before they came home, But after eeveral days the Warren came to the} same rendezvous; they exchanged sig- nals; she sent to Phillips and these homeward bound men letters ana papers, and told them she was out- ward bound, perhaps to the Mediter- ranean, and took poor Nolan and hia traps on the boat back to try his sec- ond cruise.
