Lady Maria Forester.

a CORES pondent Of London news
paper calls attention TO the recent
ocath in Engiand of the woman who
sent Florencs Nightingale TO the Cri-
mea. She WAS Lady Maria Forester,
youngest daughter OF the Earl of Ro-
den, who found herself in 1882, the
childless widow of Major Charles For
ester, Of the Twelfth lancers. In the
winter of ls5i-s5. while her brother
was serving before Sebastopol, she got
stirred up about the condition of the
wounded, determined TO have some
thing done, and was directed TO Miss
Nightingale as the fittest person to
do it She went 10 see her, with the
result that Miss Nightingale went to
Crimea, and the modern system of
nursing began.

Cunning of the Coyote.

The barking habit of the coyote is
very doglilSe, and his Old name of
barking wolf is very appropriate.
When collecting mammals in Wyo-
ming, says writer in st. Nicholas, it
was very common thing for us to
hear the coyotes around our camp set
up great barking in chorus ut the

think it is about time, cause | want
TO get tin whistle and lots of things"
said a cute little shaver of 6, as he
strutted into Central police station
and walked up to the lieutenaut's
desk, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Lieutenant Hill peered over the
desk and recognized his little protege,
Horace w. Garlic, all dressed in a COM
plcte lieutenant's uniform, with sill
yer badge, stripes on his shoulders,
with revolver in one hand AMI club
in the other.
"Well, how much pay do you think
you ought to have?" asked Lieutenant
Hill.
well, you might give me about
$50, l guess. That's a big pile OF
money, but 1 spec it's about what a
lieutenant ought to get, and you
know, am a lieutenant now" and
the little shaver strutted about and
then asked Lieutenant Hill if he
thought a burglar could get away
from him.
Lieutenant" Horace Garlic, though
only very little boy, is a born police
man. Ever since he was a baby he
has been wild over policemen. When
he had on short dresses he strutted
around with club and would run to
the window and call 10 every police
man that passed. He got acquainted
with Lieutenant Hill when the latter
was a sergeant. Little Horace had
his aunt fix his suit up as a sergeant's
uniform, and when Lieutenant Hill
was promoted he had his uniform
changed too, and Lieutenant Hill got
him a silver star and club.
When he does not mind his father
tells him it he is not good that he
will not let him be a policeman, and
that brings little Horace to time at
once. His great ambition is to catch
a real live burglar, and who knows
but what he may some day?

still he did not run. That villain sat
there coolly without moving a muscle,
but with a leer that plainly said:
"Now, don't you wish you had your

Record. The total number of meals
furnished from the three kitchens was
Ace 0s4. making an average of 4, Gel a
day. The total number of days when
the men taken care of by the associa-
ton worked on the streets was eighty
three and the average number of mea
working each day was 2.27J. Each
man worked an average of three
hours and thirty -fve minutes day.
The association issued in ninety four
days, 232, O6G lodging checks to regular
lodging houses and there were s. 0s2 or
ders issued on the warehouses for fam
lily supplies In addition to the lodg-
ing checks there were 1862 lodgings
given by missions, and during the
winter Al. 327 men found lodging in
police stations The following sug-
gestions are given in the report:
There is general feeling Of inn
patience among persons who are COM
monty generous givcrs to the unfor-
tunate over the present industrial
situation, complicated as it is by
strikes with the consequent idleness
In view of this the following remarks
seem necessary: Workingmen who
strike are, for the most part, mechan-
les or skilled laborers who usually re-
ceive good wages and lay by MONEY
for an idle day. When they become
needy they can usually borrow of
their associates who have been more
thrifty or who are under less expense
or the unions care for them until
work is resumed But few union men
apply for relief The majority of
those who apply for and receive help
from charitable institutions or who
worked for the Central Relief associa-
ton during the win ter of '9I were men

THE cholera has reached Holland
in its march from Russia. The re-
ports from Europe show that famil-
iarity with this dread disease has
made the authorities lose vigor in
taking measures to suppress it. They
are coming to look upon Its visits as
pest of the regular course OF events
instead of something that can be
stamped out by proper sanitary
measures. This attitude will put
European ports under suspicion, and
the sanitary authorities of the United
States should look carefully into the
immigration and importations from
across the Atlantic.
