WoMEN's DEEDS OF BRAVERY.
Examples Of Presence Of Mind and
COURAGE Are Many.

To come down to more modern
times, the stories of the bravery dis
played by woman In our own Indian
wars are enough TO thrill the coldest
blood
Sometimes a woman left alone to
look out for her children would be
attacked by a band of Indians. She
would barricade the house and try in
every way to repulse them, and when
all else failed would shoot first her
children and then herself.
In the Civil War and in the war
with Spain there were hundreds of
women who wanted to go to the front
as nurses; in fact, more volunteered
than could be used They were will
ing to face any danger II they could
only minister to the sick and suffer.

SLEEP PROMOTES LONG LIFE.
Sound and Refreshing Rest Of the
Greatest Importance.

A centenarian attributed his length
of days as being mainly due to mis-
capacity for sleeping soundly. 1t was
not. he said, question of long sleep
ing, for he rarely took more than six
or seven hours. In this time or even
less, he considers. man can get all
the rest he needs, provided his sleep
is quiet and refreshing. In this con-
nection 1t is worth notice that most
long-lived people have been early
risers, mainly as result OF their
sleeping well A fruitful cause OF
insomnia is found In the case Of per-
sons who, working late at night, shake
off their fits of drowsiness, and by
strong coffee or other stimulants en-
deavor to keep awake. In time ma

the defiance of her laws. and the OF.

the use Of narcotics will bring him

WHAT THE TEACHER MUST DO.

Aim to Produce "PIeasurable Excite.

Knowledge is good, but wisdom is
better. The college valedictorian,
trained to take knowledge in, rather
than to impart it, may have much OF
it, with but little wisdom; he may be
able, as teacher, to drill boys and
girls in Greek or Latin declensions.
and cram them with facts, useful or
valueless; but If he cannot produce in
them what Spencer calls ''pleasurable
excitement" and interest, he is fail
ure. His would be the sort Of teach
ing that harps upon obedience and
discipline, and endeavors by force Of
rule and rod to oblige the pupil to
study and learn. The will cannot be
forced, but the real teacher knows
well that 1t can be led. He remem-
bers the remark of Rousseau that the
teachers province Is less to instruct
than to guide" that "he must not lay
down precepts, but teach his pupils
to discover them" This was the way

This is the hope Of the Department of

working on the problem for some
time, and it has almost been proved
to the satisfaction of officials that the
tick which causes the fever a be
eradicated from a pasture simply by
keeping cattle out of that pasture. The

not, always dealt with satisfactorily
by State officials. But in cases where

saving in money and the convenience
to shippers Of this arrangement can
easily be understood.
To Introduce Cattle from India.
While this quarantine and extirpa-
tlon work is going on, a similar expert
ment on different lines directed to
the same end will soon be under way.
Ihere have been imported to some
OF the Texas ranges specimens of the
Indian sacred cattle, and it has been
found that they were immune to the
x fever. Apparently there Is an
OIL IN n skin that is repugnant to the
tick. At any rate they will not har.
Dor the parasite. The half-bloods and
even animals containing but one-six.'
teenth part Indian blood have been
found immune, and they make just as
good beef cattle as can be found.
There are very stringent laws
against the Importation of foreign
stock into this country without thor. |
ough examination and quarantine: |
therefore 1t is risky to import stock
from so far away as India without
especial provisions for its examination.
Mr.. A. s. Borden of Pierce, Tex, has
arranged, however, with the Agricul.
tural Department to make a large i'm.
portation of the immune Indian cat
tie, and has already left for British
India to pick them out. The Depart.
