FIRST U. S. MILITARY MEDAL
Government Gave Gen. George Wash
Ington Decoration to Commend
rate Evacuation of Boston.

The first military medal ever be-
slowed by the American government
was one in gold to Gen. George Wash
lngton, to commemorate the evacuation
Of Boston by the British in 1776. Capt.
Paul Jones was similarly rewarded af-
ter his famous fight with the Scraps"
In 1879, and the three men, Paulding,
Williams and Van Wart, who captured
Maj. John Andre in 1880, were given
special medals by congress.
The first decoration, and so far as
Col. Robert E. Wyllie of the general
staff of the q. S. A., and author of a
work on military and civil orders, dec
Orations and insignia, has been able
to discover, which had a general APP
plication to enlisted men, was the re-
suit Of an order issued in 1882 by
General Washington. A soldier cited
for the decoration was permitted to
wear on his facings, over his left
breast, the figure of a heart in pur-
pie cloth or silk, edged with narrow
lace or binding.-Detroit News.

FEDERAL LAW ON HUNTING
Prohibits Shooting of Migratory Fowl
After Sunset-South Dakota
Hunters Face Arrest.

Hunting migratory game birds is
permitted under federal regulations
each day during. the open season from
half an hour before sunrise to sun
set. Persons found hunting between
sunset and half an hour before sun
rise are liable to prosecution in fed
eral court under the provisions of Reg
ulations of the migratory treaty
act regulations A state law recently
passed by the legislature of South Da-
kota provides that waterfowl may be
shot half an hour after sunset. The
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that state legislatures may pass laws
to give further protection to migra-
tory birds, If such laws or regulations
do not extend the open seasons for
such birds beyond the time prescribed
by the migratory-bird treaty-act regu-
lations. Although the state law per-
mits shooting from sunrise to half an
hour after sunset, person so doing
may be arrested and prosecuted under
the federal law, administered by the
Department of Agriculture.

Lucy I'd not wish to go with this
queer little creature, but she did not
seem to have anything to do with it.
The imp just touched her with his
feathery-tipped fingers and away she
went right into the fireplace and up
the chimney.
Not away up, but little way; and
then a door opened and in she went
and the imp with her into room all
red and black. In zig high chair sat
a big red and black imp-a Grand
mother Imp, Lucy thought, because
she wore a ruff1ed cap of black around
her red face.
Here's another stayup," said the
imp who had brought her, and then
on the floor around the Grandmother
Imp's chair Lucy saw a number of
children asleep.
The door closed with click and
Lucy saw that the little imp had gone.
"He has gone to find more stayup chill
dren," said the Grandmother Imp.
Eve will get them all in here after
awhile
''What will you do with them?''
asked Lucy, who had found her tongue
and was getting a bit frightened. She
wished she was in her own room in
bed and not in this red and black
place.
Il can't tell you that until my hus-
band comes home" said the Grand
mother Imp. HE has different pun
ishment for every night, but this is
your first night here, so he won't be
as hard on you as some Of the others
who have stayed up before. But you
lie down beside the other stayups and
go to sleep until he comes"
Lucy could nor find soft spot on
the floor She tried resting her head
on her arm, she curled up as she had
on the big fur rug in front of the fire
place. But it was no use. She could
not sleep.
"Click, click Lucy heard. She was
sure it was the Grandfather Imp turn

come to punish the stayups. Up she

LUCY AND THE IMP

to bed when bedtime came around.
She fretted and pouted and grew so
disagreeable that3one night her moth
er told her she could go to bed when
she liked but she was certain she
would wish size had gone at the right

Lucy was sitting on rug in front
of the fireplace, so she curled up with
her book and began to read, quite sure
she would not be sorry she did not go
to bed early.
The freight danced on the book
she was looking at and Lucy thought
once she could almost see some little
f1re-imps dancing in the swapping
wood fire.
Her eyes seemed to feel queer but

be the warm fire that made them feel
so queer.

STEPHANIE

A VERY unusual name is Stephanle.
"A OF late it has had great vogue
and represents revival Of interest in
the old Greek names which had far
more significance than our modern
versions. Stephanie, for instance, or
iginated with the Greek games when
the wreath of the conQueror was an
appropriate aliusion to those games
where the Greek youth delighted to
contend. The wreath was called a
stephanos, and it is more than likely
that the first proper name Stephanos
was so called by a proud family
whose representative had returned
with leafy crown on his brow.
Stephan, the contraction, was an old
Greek name borne by the son of
Thucydides, before it was given to the
Hellenist deacon who achieved the
greatest of all victories and won the
spiritual crown. Old Greek hymn
writer's celebrated this accordance of
name and destiny:
Thou by name crown impliest
Meekly then in pangs thou diest;
For the crown of righteousness.
Stephanie is the feminine form ap-
proved in Greece; it also signifies a
crown. 1t received a sacred promi-
nence since no less than seven saints
bore the masculine form of it, includ-

BRASS FOB RHEUMATISM


THAT wearing brass ring on the
\ finger will cure rheumatism is a
common superstition in nearly all parts
of the country; and in the South there
is belief among the colored popu-
lation. that wearing brass rings in the
ears will ward off the same disease. In
some sections it is believed that the
wearing of brass ring is not only
good for rheumatism but will prevent
cramps.
Brass and bronze are both alloys Of
copper and both metals were included
in the word "orichalcum" even down
to the Middle ages; though Strabo
calls brass orichalcum specifically and
describes it's manufacture. To the an
clients brass was but another form of
bronze. The Bronze age preceded the
Iron age. 1t was an era when, though
iron was known, there were few iron
weapons even at the siege of Troy
bronze was the metal in common use
for weapons and purposes of general
utility.
When iron came into its own con-
servative people looked upon the new
tangled metal with suspicion and re-
tanned bronze for all purposes into
which entered the worship of the gods
or the performance of sacred rites.
Roman and Sabine priests might not
be shaved with iron razors but only
with razors Of bronze, and with bronze
shears they had to have their hair
cut. The Greeks attributed a certain
cleansing virtue to bronze and hence
employed 1t in expiatory rites. There
was evidently some connection con-
ceived to exist between bronze and its
cousin, German brass, and the sun.
For bronze was used in the ceremonies
with which the Greeks greeted an
orichalcum, derived from a Greek
word meaning mountain copper and
supposedly generally to signify brass,
became soon corrupted into aurichaI-
cum, that is, copper Stimulating gold.
the color of the sun. In short, brass is
a mystic metal from the Age of Bronze,
believed through long centaries to pos
sess special virtues and ought, GER
tainly to be equal to case Of ordinary
rheumatism.

heard and it awakened her.
Lucy made her way up to her room,
but it was very pokey all alone at that
hour of the night; nobody to SAY
goodnight and kiss you or tuck you

and pulled the bedclothes around her
she made up her mind she would
never be a stayup again and let the
