kniuhthood For Women.

1t is not at all we'll known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies received the accolade, and many
more were members of such knightly
orders as the Garter and st. John.
When Mary Cholmondeley. ''the bold
lady of Cheshire" was knighted by
Elizabeth for her valiant address
on the queen taking command at the
threatened invasion by Spain. did she
know that a whole city of Spanish wo-
men, the gallant women of Tortosa,
had been knighted for saving that city
from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth
had both been knighted at their cOro-
nation. but by the time Anne, the
second Mary and Victoria ascended
the throne it had been quite forgotten
that. according to English law and
use. woman who filed a mans Office
acquired all its privileges and was i'm
mune from none of its duties.-London

The Volcano of Kilauea.

Kilauea. on the island Of Hawaii. as
high as Vesuvius and twice as wide,
lies thirty miles from the sea in 4
mountain range. There have been sew
eral outbreaks Of Kilauea in the last
hundred years. In 1910 there was a
brilliant eruption Of lava, the light Of
which, it was reported. could be seen a
hundred miles away Where the lava
flowed through the forest it left curl
Gus relics in the shape Of lava arches,
bridges and great vases. These vases
We're formed by the lava piling itself
about some lofty tree trunk, burning
away the wood within and killing the
upper part Of the tree In the course
Of time seeds were deposited in the
open top, filed with decaying bark,
until now there is a gigantic lava vase
holding ferns and flowers and vines.

TIME FOR DAlRYMEN

NJ This is great year for the
dairy interests Of the valley The
drought on the coast has led to the
shipment here of hundreds of head of
dairy COWS, the increase from importa-
tions being greater than in any preced-
ing year, while the natural increase
in the valley herds will make this
years gain very great.
A result of the importations is that
while butter fat remains at good
figure dairy COWS have become some
thing of a drug on the market, and
those desiring to get into the dairy
business find it comparatively easy
to get a start.
With all the diversity of products in
the valley, nothing has yet been found
tc surpass a combination of the dairy
and hog raising industries as money
makers, and it can be expected that
this increase in the herds will lead to
a considerable increase in alfalfa acre
age this year.
1t is a period of steady, rapid eX-
pansion in the industries of the valley.
and the dairy business is leading all.

MARRIED MISERY.
Indifference Plays Havoc With Happi
ness In the Home.


ness In the Home.
The foe of married happiness is in
attention. The real wrong to the wife,
the real failure of the husband, is
when he becomes unconscious of what
she is doing for him and what she is
in herself Al first her ministries and
her affection are delightful to him.
Then perhaps they become a thing Of
course-r received. enjoyed in Il fashion,
but hardly thought of. And some
times, though not so frequently. the
wife becomes unthoughtful of her huS-
band.
Perhaps into most marriages there
crecps on one side or OH botn some
thing Of this Indifference Husband
and wife live together in the chiefly
external relation Ue is lGc hreadWin-
ner; she is the houSekeeper. they ac-
cept each others good qualities a. men
wear easy fitting clothes. without no
ticing. They put up with each others
defects as with a smoky chimney or
any other annoyance.
They would confess TO 10 alienation,
They have only got used to each other.
1t is the same getting used" that rObs
life of its brightness: that makes us
blind to the stars and the clouds and
the bright procession of the day ana
year. because we have seen them so
often: that keeps US mostly in numb,
half alive state, from which only occa-
sionally are we reused TO feel that we
are living in a divine universe and are

There are hundreds of people in Impe-

thousands of dollars year through the

lose heavily because they do not use these

OUR JUMPERS LEAD WORLD.
American Olympic Candidates All Capable of at Least Six Feet Two Inches.

Spectators at the Olympic games can prepare themselves fer spectacular doings in many of the events when the members of the American team take the field, but at the sight of one, the running high jump. they will probably sit back in amazement when they note the proficiency of Uncle Sam's nom inees. Of the dozen men who have been named there isn't one who hasn't cleared 6 feet 2 inches. and from that height the performance of the men ascend to 6 feet IA inches, this mar velous jump having been made by George Horine of Stanford university and the Olympic club, San Francisco. As a matter of fact, taking the best jumps of the F men who will display their abilities to the possible wonder ment of most of the athletes of 40 na- tions 1t becomes noticeable that they aggregate 75 feet 37-S inches, or an average of feet 19 inches.
 It can be said without fear of con tradiction that the best men in this game of all the two score nations, ar rayed as one team, who will be com petitively engaged at the games, would not muster strength enongh to con- pete against our men at this parucu- lar game. Seven of the men are out and out specialists" men who in ath- letic cultivate no other game, while the other five pursue various branches of track and field work, being ex- tremely proficient in several branches aside from jumping. Probably first and foremost of the American expo nents of the game is Horine, who has a style essentially his own, and one never before seen in the caste, until he showed at the Travers Island games, It is the perfection of the art of gaining height While all jumpers concentrate their efforts on this, the primary feature of the game, no one yet seen gets such elevation with so little sped to his take off"
 All of the other men who will be en- gagged in the Olympics for America, with the exception of Alma Richards of Brigham Young university, Utah, use the layout method. Until Horine's style was seen the layout was fancied to be the last word in high Jumping. as it was by this method that Mike Sweeney had hung up the feet 5-S inches in 1895, which stood unap- preached until Horine leaped higher this spring. Richards style bespeaks for him g most wonderful natural pow er He rises to his jump and clears the bar in much the same style as Con Leahy, Pat Devin and many oth- CT Irish jumpers, with the knees drawn up almost to his chin, but at great loss of height because of the position of his bodl. as he Is in almost a sitting position when crossing the bar.

 Saturday.

Poughkeepsie, N.

Averill Hartman, who coached the Yale freshmen this spring, and J.

 The crews are now in the best con- dition that can be expected of them, and their work for the two days of practice remaining will be only to keep them on edge for race day.
