Safes Made of Cement.

A safe constructed of cement with
steel wire netting placed in between
was tested by order of the Reichsbank,
the German Governments banking
establishment. The question to be de-
cided was whether it is practical to
build vaults of this material for safe
~ against fire. A safe was placed
upon a pyre cf logs drenched with ker-
osene, which after being set on fire,
kept the safe for half an hour exposed
to a heat of about 1900 degrees Fab

was opened. and the contents-silk
paper, draft blanks and a maximum
thermometer-wer found to be abso-

mometer showed that within the safe
the temperature at no time during the
test rose above S5 degrees. This seems
to prove that cement safes within
burglar-proof steel vaults fill all the
requirements that can be possibly ey-
pected.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE AT rs.
ON Questions of Charity She is Always
Ready to give Advice,

Ready TO Give Advice.
On the 18th day of this month she
celebrates her seventy-hfth birtnuay-
as great a woman and as great a pub
lie bcnefaclcr, and as much of a hero
inc as she was forty years ago, when
she Went forth from her comfortable
home in England. not as a mere nurse
to attend 10 the wants of the wounded
and dying British soldiers in the
Crimea but as a fearless organizer Of
a great field hospital system, which
the British War Office authorities, staff
officers and generals had looked upon
as a mere matter Of afterthought in the
preliminary arrangements Of one of the
most difficult campaigns in the history
of the civilized world.
Miss Nightingale loathes anything
in the form of publicity. To Journal
lists she never opens her mouth, nor
ever her door but to any one who
seeks advice on question affecting
the interests of the sick or those who
nurse them, hearty welcome and a
word of encouragement and counsel
are always cheerfully accorded. She
has a very comfortable home on one
of the best streets in the West End Of
London, but spends most of the year
at Clayton House in Buckingham
shire, the home of her sister, Lady
Verney.
She is a tall woman, rather stout,
with gray hair, and fine, open face AL
though great sufferer she does not
show trace of 1t. She has not known
what 1t is to be without pain for many
wears. Her features are finely model
ed. while her hands and feet are very
small. Her voice is low and musical.
She often reads aloud. and sometimes
she huns a song or a hymn. She is
very devout. and an omnivorous read
er. Her room is Uttered with newspa-
pers. magazines, writing paper, pencils
and letters. She is always cheerful.
Miss Florence Nightingale has not
only done grand service to the human
race by her labors on behalf of the
sick and wounded, and of sanitation,
but she has also served her sex prob
ably more than any woman of the past
or present. In her life we have an
object lesson which should be taken to
heart by all womankind.-

When summer cottage is TO be re-

able, with an effect of coolness to be
secured, the first consideration should
be that of color. Select those tints
which insure physical repcse to the
inmate. For this nothing is better
than blue. 1t is restful to the ma

vision in its suggestion Of coolness,
only needing graceful lines to be
wholly satisfactory.

Java prints for curtains in delicious
