the latter battle her husband, a gunner, had
fallen, when she sprang to his place and fired
the cannon.
Molly had been carrying water to the sol
diers from spring, the mercury being at 80
degrees in the shade. AS no one was able to
take his place when he became incapacitared,
it is said she dropped her pail, seized the
rammer, and vowed that she would avenge
his death. She proved an excellent substi-
tute her courage exciting the admiration OF
all, and on the following morning, in her so1led
garments, General Greene presented her to
Washington, who praised her gallantry and
commissioned her sergeant
1t is related she received many presents
from the French officers and that she would
sometimes pass along the French lines, cooked
hat in hand, and would get it almost filled with
coins She is said to have served in the army
nearly eight years in all. She was placed on
the list of halrpay officers and for many years
after the Revolution lived at the Carlisle bar
racks, cooking and washing for the soldiers.
The house in which she spent her later
years in Carlisle was demolished in recent
years. She died January %, 1923, at the age
of seventy-nine. and was buried with military

sively used of all is the American salute of
one gun for every state in the Union. By
allowing an interval of minute and half be-
tween discharges this salute can be strung
out for more than an hour and at half-minute
intervals, which is slow enough to suit most
persons, it enables an interval Of booming that
exceeds twenty minutes.
Another salute that is used on this holiday
and that is appropriate to the occasion is the
old Federal salute of thirteen guns-one for
each of the thirteen original states. This sa-

MOLLY PITCHER, HEROINE

The best-known of all the American hero
ines of battle is Molly Pitcher, the story of
whose adventures, especially on the battle
field at Monmouth, is of the most pictur-
esque incidents of the revolutionary The
early life of Molly is somewhat vague. She
is supposed to have been born at Carlisle Pa,
October Is, 1744. Her right name was Mary
Ludwig, and while the soldiers were only ia
milar with her first name, calling her Molly,
they soon applied the second, because wher-
ever they saw Molly they also saw the pitcher
with which she carried water to the sick and
wounded in the camps
Several writer's say Molly came to this coun-
try from Germany with her parents, who were
among the Palatines. The first information
we have of her is that she was employed as
maid in the family of General Irvine at Car
isle, and on July "a 1869. was married to
John Hays, barber. Her husband was COM
missioned a gunner in Proctor's First Pennsyl-
vania artillery, Continental line, December 1,
IT'S, and Molly followed him to the field This
was common thing for the wives of private
soldiers to do their time being passed in
laundering for the officers.
At the assault at Fort Clinton she showed
much pluck and also the following year in

but the regulation interval between guns In
all salutes including the national salute Oh
twenty-one guns is five seconds. During the
firing of the salute all the officers and men
stand at attention. 1t is customary for Tor
eign warships anchored in American harbors
to fire a salute in compliment to the United
States on the Fourth and the same courtesy
is usually shown by foreign forts and warships
when Yankee naval craft are spending the
eventful holiday in alien waters. Whenever
any foreign authorities ships fire our ma
tional salute, the firing is no sooner concluded
than an officer from the American ship In
port makes an official call upon the foreign
officials and extends thanks

the Fourth OF July sautes for noise making
was genuine fun for the men who did it years
ago, whereas it is no more nor less than
detail of the days work for Uncle Sans gun
ners. Indeed it may surprise some of our
readers to learn that there are artillerymen
In our regular army and men-o'wars-men on
our naval vessels who thoroughly detest the
roar of the big guns. 1t is not that they are
afraid or are lacking in experience, for some
of these men have been in the service for
years and have repeatedly faced death in a
variety of forms and yet many a veteran
never gets over his dislike Of the din at close
range.
But then the enthusiastic crowds that on
the Fourth of July hear the echoing salutes
in the distance have no idea of the shocks
administered to the men behind the gun when
a Shooting iron" Of any size lets co. The
strain of waiting for each report and bracing
himself to Withstand it is also a severe tax
on the nervous system Of the gunner, to say
nothing of the unpleasant experience that fol-
lows the discharge when the gunner is struck
in the face as though by sharp gust of wind
and sustains a Earring, particularly of the
spine, which may sforce him to have a me-
mento all the remainder of the day in the
form of severe headache. OF course guns
of the largest size are never employed in the

IN THE WORLD OF JUNIORS
Penal Code Sensible and Most Effec-
tive for Punishment of Child
ish Faults.

Public opinion sways the child
world. Sometimes this opinion is
created by what an intelligent child
has learned through older people,
sometimes it comes of the childrens
own reasoning. And the child who
fails In the etiquette demanded from
him by his own world is punished in
the surest and severest way. Public
opinion is against him or his mis-
deed; he must remain on the outside
until he has proved his repentance.
There may be suggestion for older
people in this method of treating Of
tenders in their midst. Punishment
by the family's ostracism may bring a
rude or ndifferent-mannered little
person to terms sooner than anything
else.
Emerson had little daughter, FL
len, who once told a lie. She was not
punished in the way that you or /
might think wise. All the children in
the family were brought together and
told that something very dreadful had
happened in their family; Ellen had
told a lie. They must not romp or
play or sing, for Ellen had told lie.

ADEQUATE Rest Is Necessary.

Prof. Frederic S. Lee of Columbia
university, New York, writing on the
subject, 'The Physiology of Rest and
Exercise" in the Journal of the Out
door Life for June, shows by expert
ments on dissected frogs the way in
which exercise tires the muscles and,
in fact, all the organs Of the body. He
says, There is no known antidote
to fatigue, unless it be rest, with all
that rest implies. Sleep allows the
reparative processes of rest to be
performed most quickly and complete
ly. A moderate degre Of fatigue, or
even a considerable DECREE, when not
too often incurred, is not detrimental
to healthy body and is even to be
advised. The healthy body is pro-
vided with great recuperative pow
ers, and does not rapidly succumb to
even excessive demands on it's en-
ergy. But it should be allowed the
proper condition for recuperation, and
that condition is adequate rest. There
Is danger when the fatigue of one
days labor is not eliminated before
the next days work Is begun. The eff
feet may be cumulative, the tissues
may be in a continued state Of depres-
sion, and the end may be disastrous"

IF our government is to be endur-

tice, truth and righteousness, sane
toned by recognition Of a supreme
icing whose experimenting provi'

country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-

parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis Of its
protection without interfering with
rights of conscience. The church helps
