WOMEAI HONORED FOR VALOR France Has Always Baan In the Lead In Recognizing the Service* of th? Fair 8?r.. Seldom In the world's history hara women been decorated for valor on the battlefield, for the simple reaaoD that opportunities for deeds which would earn them such decorations are very few. Nevertheless, instances can be found, and nowhere more than in France, where the heroic woman hos little to complain fi as regarda oublie recognition o* nor services. Since Napoleon founded the Cross .A the Legion of Honor on May 19, 1802, probably a scoro or more wom en have been decorated for personal bravery in warfare, but unfortunately only one or two of their names aave boen preserved, as the palace of the Legion d'Honneur was burned during the commuue an/, all records wore de stroyed. Napoleon decorated at least seven women for valor. The chief of these was Anne Biget (Soeur Marthe), who was a ulster of mercy, and earned tho Cross of Le&ion of Honor for her de votion to the sick and wounded, in the care of whom she risked her life con stantly. The other women on whom Napoleon bestowed the cross were disciples of Joan of Arc, who shared the perils and hardships of their men folk, enlisting and fighting gallantly. Another woman earned tho decora tion for valor when France was fight ing Germany in 1870. Mlle. Dodu, a postmistress at Pithvlers, a village which had fallen into tho hands of the invaders, destroyed a message which sho had been ordered to transmit Fot this she was court-martialed by the Germanr. and condemned to death. On the arrival of Prince Frederick, how ever, she was released, the prince him self complimenting her on her courage FISH GATHER IN MILLIONS Remarkable Schools of Hearings That Annually Assemble on the North Pacific Coast. Every summer there is a remark able run of herring on the north Pa cido coast. These fish come in such shoals that they seem a solid moving mass. They crowd into the inlets and sheltered bays and can be taken in millions by the simplest means. Men and boys on tho Grand Trunk Pacific dock at Princs Rupert UBB waste paper baskets, and similar uten sils, which, with rope attached are thrown into the water and allowed to sink below the surface, then hauled in again full of overflowing with love ly herring. But a better Idea ot the density of these schools ot flab is afforded by the fact that fishing lines with hook attached can be sunk in the water, and pulled out Instantly with just as many Ash as there are hooks, be there a dozen or fifty. Tons of these herring are taken hy the fish companies and frozen in boxea for use as bait for the halibut fisheries. They are an excellent table fish, and there ought to be a profitable market for them in the Interior. As yet com* paratively few of them are shipped, though dealers aro now calling for them Fisherman say the herrings seek the baya to escape the whales, which prey on them in certain localities dur? lng their migrations. Working a Ship to Death. A curious Instance of a craft being worked to death la reported from Bal timore, where the schooner Johnnie Oreen was aelted for claims, by the crew. There was due the six jaen the Buu of $193.80, which under normal conditions might bo raised by a mort gage on the boat "But she's got enough mortgages on ber now to sink her," said Captain White, "and I could not borrow another cent. There's $700 or $800 lent on her already." When told that the Johnnie Green was forty-two years old, and had been In the bay service all ot that time. Marshal Stockham was ready to be lieve that no more money could he b jr rowed on her. He ordered her taken In charge and a watchman put aboard. .-Nautical Gazette. Defective. A fanner, In looking his ear over one day, thrust a lighted match Into tho gasoline tank. The ensuing explo sion laid him up for several wooka. On the first day that he waa able to be about be visited the storekeeper who had sold him the stuff and de manded compensation. "Why should I par yon anything V asked the merchant hotly.

There are about forty shops tn Can ton, China, where articles of ivory ara made and sold. The industry may be divided Into two stage*, cutting and carving.

These are first cut with a saw tc tba shape capa ble of being worked up by carving The carving apparatus consists of a wooden block, a taw and a tab ot war tar.
