IRISH FACTORY GIRL.
First Woman in U. S. to Receive Gov
eminent Medal for Bravery.

The first woman in the United States
to receive a medal from the govern
ment for bravery i'm risking her own
life to save another, is Miss Mary
Guinan of Middleton. \. Y. She has
been employed in a shirt factory for
the last eighteen years. She is about
40 years old and. with sister, Is the
sole support of an aged and lntrm
mother and a little nephew and niece.
Dec. 10 last, when Miss Guinan was
returning from her work at the shirt
factory. she saw John c. Runyon, an
aged grocery merchant of the city,
standing on the Erie railroad track at
Montgomery street awaiting for train
to pass. The train was going west and
Runyon did not see an east-bound
train approaching. Miss Guinan saw
the old mans danger and, STOPPING
under the gates, pushed the aged mer-
chant off the east-bound track as the
train rushed past. The TWO were then
in a space of less than three feet with
train rushing past at high speed on
each side.
Miss Guinan held the old man firmly
until one of the trains passed, and
then assisted him TO the sidewalk Miss
Guinan went home without giving her

A COOLING RECIPE.
Good Results From Mixing Common
Sense and Hot Weather.
CWa shington Herald. J

washington Herald.)
If the people of this country would
mix a little common sense with the hot
weather. they would find the good old
summer time much more nearly bear
able Some heat prostrations are I'M
aVoidable, of course. SO long as men
must toll in the brOiling sun we must
expect to hear of victims of high tenn
perature. But when supposedly intel
ligent human beings deliberately go
TO the extreme of thoughtless, foolish
ness in weather like this, there is no.
body TO blame but themselves.
One may accomplish wonders in the
way of avoiding the effects of hot
weather by the use of a little common
sense. Exercise, and especially violent
exercise should not be taken in the
heated part of the day. and persons
not accustomed to outdoor life should
be careful how they go about under
hot sun at all. the mind should be
kept off the subject of the weather. too.
Don't talk about it continually. Don't
go about saying, Whe-e-e-e-w, isn't it
hot?" or something else equally as in
ane and useless. Don't worry yourself,
and don't worry others. There are
many things worse than hot weather,
and there is no excuse for failure to
apply common sense TO the problems it
presents.

Study of Physiolouy.

DR.. Eugene A. Darling, head of the
department of physiology in Harvard
college, says it is not studied thor
oughly in secondary schools. He said
that there is a dearth of properly
trained teachers in this study and that
there is some feeling of false modesty
about teaching the subject in a mixed
class He thought it would be a good
idea to engage young physicians to
teach the subject in the schools, as
they are fresh from college and not, as
a general thing, overburdened with
practice. In this connection it is in
teresting to remember that Queen Vic
toria did not allow her daughters to
study physiology, nor did she ever al
low them to complain of illnesses I'M
less necessary. She tohught study of
physiology gave girl too much knowl-
