Honor American Heroes

In view of the honors recently paid to John Paul Jones it may be in teresung to note that two other revo- iutionary worthios were remembered st about the same time. Vermont honored one of her fayorite sons, Ethan Allen, the leader of the Green mountain boys and the hero of Ticon- derosa, and daughter. Am Story. Mrs. Story took the place of her hus- band, pioneer who penetrated the then wilderness of Vermont 10 make a home for his family, and was killed in an accident. Mrs. Story took his place, defied Indians and assisted as a pa riot in running down and capturing n horde of tory spies in revolutionary times. She made her home for time in cave deftly dug out on the bank of 0ttor creek. The Colonial Danes are to erect monument to her at Rutland. Aliens memory is to be honored by memorial tower, al whose dedication are to be present among other notables Vice President Fairbanks and Ethan Allen Hitchcock. secretary of the interior.

UNAPPREcIATED COURAGE.
Hiram Was Brave Enough. But His Father Thought He Was
 a Fool as Well.

In the Tennessee mountains lived a little hunter named Hiram Gates. Al though small in size, Hiram was noted for his bravery for miles around in that section of the country, where cour- age Is common asset. Once while hunting he tracked a bear 10 small cave. Now a man hasn't one chance in a million fighting a bear in close quarters. but this fact didn't deter Hi ram for a minute. Throwing down his gun he put his knife between his teeth and crawled into the dark hole after the animal
 By the greatest good fortune he sue ceeded in killing it. for the reason that the cave was so small that the bear couldn't turn around to defend him. self Otherwise there probably would have been a different story.
 Hiram skinned the bear. and then went home. where he explained the manner of the killing 10 his father

OLD CURE FOR POISON IVY
Simple Remedy Which Affords Speedy Relief from the Intense
 Itching.

This is the season when the perso, who takes woods rambles is very likely 10 suffer for days thereafter with swoi- len wrists and itching hands. some times suffering real agony, from ivy poison, says Field and Stream. Poison oak and ivy are much like the conner head snakes in the hills in that both seem to try hard to torture human he ings with their poison, and will do so if they come too close, especially in the sW1AS. A physician once told us that there 'as nothing that would cure ivy poison quickly. but that doetorine i, and letting 1t alone took about equal time, so he advised washing the parts affected quite often and letting it take it's course. Now, the cure consists in a very simple adherence to two things.
 Preventing the spreading of the poison and drying it up quickly It's spread can only be prevented by washing ire quently with hot water; it's cure by

Salmon in the Lakes.

A new era in Great lakes fishing was marked recently, when from the nets of Gamash, Smith & Co. of Wau- kegan. was taken a ten-pound fresh water salmon. Several years ago the United States government planted a number of young salmon in Lahe Michigan The fish were not caught later. but it was thought that the waters of the lake were not favorable 10 their growth. This year however, they began to show up, and at Wau- hegan 25 or 60 have been taken ranging from three to four pounds. These have been replaced. but the big one has been kept, and a report to Washington will be made.-Nil. waukee Wisconsin.

Behavior of the Heart.

A recent publication of Ann Arbor university describes an instrument for securing a continuous graphic record of the pulse rate in man which affords valu- able indications of the hearts work. The records showed that the commence ment of muscular work Is followed almost simultaneously by marked accel- eration of the pulse In fact, this modi- fication of the pulse rate is observed in the next heart cycle after the work be- gins. In typical cases there are three well-marked stages; primary rise, a pesiod of sustained acceleration and a secondary rise. Similar stages of de- crease in rate occur after the work stops. The rapidty of the pulse dur
 ing work depends not only upon the amount of work done, but much more upon the manner in which it is done. Speed and resistance are factors requir- ing separate consideration, and of these two speed has the greater influence. These records show that while muscular work may not appreciably require the expenditure of bodily forces, it immedi- ately reacts upon the heart, and thai conversely cessation of muscular exer. lion Is an immediate relief to the heart

Auto Speed Limit.


 . With miles close to 90 seconds on tho straishtaway. or, to be exact. 0:34 4-5. ard the same distance on a circular course in o52 1-5, it is admitted by ex- perts that the speed of automobiles has almost reached Its limit. Not that en- zines cannot be built bigger and more powerful and the cars made strong enough to stand even greater strain, but because the pneumatic tire cannot hoI1 up for any great length of time when car is travelling at such terrific speed. On the road, however, the speed limit has almost been reached, and also OH the track. The pneumatic tire makes the automobile possible, yet it IS the weakest member. When tfaFeHhs around the track at top speed even with a 30-horse power car, WHICH travels close to the minute. the tires get heated up and are liable to give trouble So far as motors in automobiles are con- cerned, they can turn for hours ant hours and requjve no attention what ever. Moreover, touring car going a5 or 40 miles an hour gives compara- lively no trouble But you will notice in all the long road races, both here and abroad, where the cars go at mile aminute pace the greatest trouble < from the tires, which proves very cl ear ly that the speed limit of autop1obiies does not rest with the Americt An manu- facturer's skill in building powerful motors. but in the tires 'Tith which the machines are shod,

Portsmouth. N. H.. Aug 8.-Above and beyond all that NJ Witte has said since his appointment as the special envoy of the czar 10 negotiate with the Japanese commissioners, il can be said that NJ. Witte Is for peace.
 M. Witte is authority for the statement that he and his colleague, Baron Rosen, have not been informed of what their adversaries will demand in the way of concessions from Russia

Chances for College Girls.

Tn an interesting talk on the college girl as a breadwinner, graduate of Wellesley, who keeps an agency, states that about the only difficulty she finds with college women who consult her about breadwinning opportunities is frequently an unwillingress to begin aJ the bottom of the ladder. They don t understand in going into business it l. generally necessary to take a subordin- ate position at small salary. but they feel they should at once draw the salary they would command as teachers" The profession usually selected by the col Iege graduate is that of teaching. but very many are now taking up stenogra- phy, as there is considerable demand for college bred women as secretaries. and in a position where a knowledge of languages counts. Publishing houses also offer a promising field to the edu- rated woman who is willing to begin at the bottom of the ladder
