Statement Made That Glory Of oliver
Hazard Perry's Victory Belongs
TO That State.

The celebration Of Perry's victory on
Lake Erie recalls that the northwest
was not only settled very largely By
emigration from the New England
states. but that those great and pop.
ulous states we're very probably saved
TO the union in the second war with
England by the enterprise and valor
of New England sailors, the Boston
Herald observes.
Oliver Hazard Perry, then com
mapder in the navy and much discon-
tented because the duties assigned
to him offered no opportunity for prov
ing his mettle, was a Rhode Islander
in charge Of feet Of gunboats guard
ing Narragansett bay In the winter Of
1928. Possessed, he said, by an
ardent desire to meet the enemies
of his country" he applied for service
on the lakes. On the very day that
the order came for his transfer to
Lake Erie he sent forward fifty men,
the second day he sent fifty more, an.
other party started on the long jour.
ney the following day, and Perry him
self started on February %, taking
with him the boy of his famous paint
ing, his brother, aged twelve years.
The wilderness trip was a hard and
tedious one, and the lake was reached
on March q. All the men who had
been under his orders in Rhode Is
land had volunteered for the service,
so attached TO him were they.
There Is good reason to consider the
operations that followed on Lake Erie
as part of the history of Rhode Is
land. The interruption of commerce
by the war had thrown many captains,
mates and seamen out of employment
and many of them had taken SERVED
with Perry on the Narragansett
flotilla. Thus 1t came about that
Rhode Island had in the battle of
Lake Erie not only Perry himself, but
four of the nine commanders, a ma
jority of the sailing masters and
mates, large number of the remain.
ing officers and a great many Of the
sailors, besides the men who superin'
tended the rigging and arming of the
fleet.
The centenary celebration, there
fore, Is tribute to the prowess of a
New England state. 1t was said years
ago by a historian that there never
was an expedition of importance to
the country which was made up so
largely of officers and men from 9
single state.

SCHOOL FOR ADULTS.

"People's high schools" as they
are called, have been flourishing in
Denmark for long time. In that
country there are 20 such schools,
with 5000 pupils, and one school at
Askov, in South Jutland, has been in
existence since 1868. One-tenth of
the population Of Denmark, it is esti-
mated, has passed through these
schools, which now are given small
state subsidies, though there is no
state interference with the institu-
ton. The schools are not technical
or practical" They seek only to
develop minds on broadly cultural
lines. There are no examinations
for admission or for leaving; much
of the instruction is given by lee
lures, and the teacher is given wide
latitude.
Norway and Sweden, it may be
added, have experimental success
fully with similar institutions.

DISEASES CURED BY RESTING
For Active tuberculosis Especially
Repose In Bed Is Most Powerful
Remedial Agent

An eminent English scientist de
clares that in both the plant and ami
NAL kingdoms rest is essential to
growth. In infancy development Is In
its highest state of activity, and the
healthy infant passes the greatest
portion of its life in state Of rest
and sleep.
Repair is but the repetition of growth
and for it rest is just as necessary as
an injury to limbs when rest is OBJ
tanned by splints, bandages, etc. In
the case of the heart and lungs rest
can be got only by resting the whole
body in the recumbent position. Rest
in bed is the most powerful curative
agent in the treatment Of active tn.
berculosis.
One or two months in bed, he says,
are necessary in the beginning OF
treatment of all cases. If the disease
is very active the patient should be
fed by nurse and treated as in ty'
phoid fever. Bed treatment should
be continued until the temperature
and pulse have both been normal fol
some time and the weight is nearly
normal. The rest treatment of tuber
culosis has been attended with pleas
ing results.

The mummies Of some fifty kings
and queens now lie side by side in
the Cairo museum, a grim reminder
of the unstable fabric Of earthly
glory, remarks the Dundee Adver-
tiser. Professor Elliot Smith is not
wholly unmindful Of that earthly
glory, nor Of the violated sentiments
involved in thus displaying and cat
aloguing these remnants of royal
power. He reminds us that but for
the museum authorities these mum
mics would have been destroyed by
robbers, and as a slight return for
the protection thus afforded he
claims the right of a respectful SCI
entifc examination. Indeed, the ex-
animation has already been made.
Many Of the bodies have been care
fully unwrapped and SO we know for
the first time that King Sagnounri,
who reigned 1000 B. c., was muir
dered, his ''battered skull and
wounded body testifying eloquently
to that fact. Doubtless the event
made quite stir in its day, but tar
if discussion, prize fights and the
like have driven it from the modern
memory. We know now that Me-
nephtha, the Pharaoh Of the exodus,
enormously supposed to have been
drowned in the Red sea, wac q COR
pulent man, nearly bald, with
fringe of white hair over the
temples.

CONTEST WITHOUT A TRUCE
Men Of Science Always on the Alert to
Discover Cures for Diseases Of
the Human Race.

The civilized world always stirs
with flutter of hope whenever the
word goes forth that a new cure for
some disease has been discovered. If
the disease happens to be one of the
great scourges of humanity, like
cancer or tuberculosis, the interest
is immediate and intense. The day
has gone when such news could filter
slowly through to the public. The
newspapers, especially in this coun-
try, knock at every door. Within
"a hours after a "cure" is an
nounced every one who is old enough
to read knows all about it.
There is a reasonable justification
for the springing hope, for time and
again in the past a miracle has APP
.peared. Smallpox, diphtheria, ty-
phoid and lockjaw are horrors that
we have passed in our upward climb.
All over the world trained men are
bending over test tubes and gazing
through microscopes in unremitting
efforts to make even the smallest
discovery. Here at last, perhaps, we
have the sure thing that the world
has been expecting. How can we tell
till we try it?-Youth's Companion.
