Virginians have long considered the
possibility of bringing the ashes of
Pocahontas from the church atGraves-
end, England, to Jamestown. The ac-
cepted story is that she was buried in
the rectors vault. 1t is evident from
what one correspondent writes that it
will be a more difficult task to find
trace Of the so-called Inuian princess
than 1t was to discover the remains
of John Paul Jones, for the church has
been burned twice since Pocahontas
died, and the fires made such complete
vaults is unknown.

That is sound advice which the Har-
ward crimson gives to the men on the
various athletic squads, to keep up in
their studies and be regular in their
attendance at lectures. The captains
of the crew, nine and track team of
the university urge the men to do this
not because they will get the benefit
of study but because if man goes on
probation now because he is lax in
his studies he loses his place on the
team until his conditions are removed,
and this will work serious injury to
the team. This is not the highest
ground on which an appeal for higher
scholarship standing might be made,
but it is of the sort which particular
iy appeals to the man whose main in
terest in college is in athletics Doubt
less the men will swallow this sugar
coated pill readily.

Human disaster almost invariably
calls forth human courage and human
sympathy. Recently fifty-one nurses
at North Brother Island, New York,
received diplomas, the gift of the Ger
man Empress, for their heroism in
caring for the living and the dead
from the excursion steamer General
Slocum, last year. The head nurse,
who directed the work. received a gold
brooch and a letter from the German
ambassador at Washington.

High Postage Rates in Italy.

The postage rates are becoming one
Of the burning questions in Italy,
where they are the highest in Europe,
and the circulation of letters and post
cards, by consequence, the lowest The
lowest postage for any letter is 4
cents, and for post card about 3
cents. This heavy rate has often been
made the subject of complaint, but
now something like an organized
movement for a reduction has been
set on foot. AS chambers of COM
merce are taking the question up, it
is probable that something will have
to be done.

Louis A. Baumann, a 16-year-old
water boy in a Pennsylvania coal
mine, is one of the kind the world
calls heroes. He risked his own life
by plunging into swollen stream to
save that Of human being. Two
times he was forced to go into the
water before the rescue was effected,
So he is a real hero. The Carnegie
hero fund commission heard of it and
awarded him medal. me a medal?"
said Baumann, when he was Informed
Of the honor accorded him. what do
l want with a medalw This young
mans naive reception Of the news
that he had done something extraordi-
nary in leaping to save a life at the
possible cost Of his own throws inter
esting light on the subjects Of heroes
and heroism. Apparently it was a
mere incident to him. The man was
in the watea drowning. The thing to
do was to get him out. There was no
reason for a4zzy fuss over it. This, the
Inconsistencies of having done any
thing that merits especial notice, is
the keynote Of the true hero. The
man who risks his life to save another
IS not Of the type that stops and con-
siders. He acts. What prompts him
to act can hardly be fathomed The
impulse which prompts men to risk
their lives constitutes the mystery Of
heroism The soldier in battle has
the inspiration of patriotism, the love
of great deeds and Of duty, and the
surge Of combat to urge him on to
what Is certain death. The city fire
man who rushes into a burning build
ing has the inspiration Of his fellows
and the traditions Of the department.
The steamship captain who goes down
with his boat knows that it is the
proper thing to do. The isolated indi-
vidual who promptly risks his life
when the occasion demands has none
of these sources of inspiration. He
acts from some sudden spring of i'm
pulse within himself The impulse
says, 3D." and he does. Afterward
it may come upon him that he has
risked his life, but never when he is
in the act of doing so. 1t is the help
less one who commands his full atten-
ton. The difference between the hero
and the rest of men is that he does not
pause to think. Between the warm
impulse to do and the actual deed
there is no time Of cold reflection. The
man who is not a hero pauses, reflects
and is lost. The hero does not weigh
his chances nor the heroics Of the stu
alton. Neither does he consider the
likelihood that his deed may be wide
" known. A medal comes as a shock
to him Medals do not make heroes.
Probably the hero himself does not
know what makes him. In calling
general attention to these unheroic he
roes by the distribution of medals, the
Carnegie commission is doing good
work by giving the world the inspira-
ton that all examples of heroic action
