Differences that seem very slight in
foreign or provincial words may be very
real, and it is important to know and to
note them. An eminent New York
scholar calls attention, in this line, to
an erroneous use Of the word "dominie"
for "domine" by recent contributor
to The Sunday School Times. He says:
1.-THE terms dominic and domino
both are plainly derived from the Lat
in, but do not mean the same thing
The former is Scottish usage for
schoolmaster only, and is universally
known because of Dominic Sampson
in one Of the Waverley novels. The lat
ter is Hollandish, respectful design
tion for minister of the gospel only.
1t is used very generally in the Dutch
churches in this country, but always in
a reverent and, indeed, affectionate
sense. 1t appears to me that the two
terms should not be confounded, but
invariably confined to that application
which is required by their historic Or
igin."
This distinction is not generally
known, although tho dictionaries point
it out.-Sunday School Times.

HER FIRST PATIENT.
A beautiful IncIdent I'm the Childhood Of
Florence Nightingale.

There is beautiful incident related
Of Florence Nightingale when she was
a child. It shows that God had already
planted within her the germ which was
to develop so beautifully in after days.
Her first wounded patient was Scotch
shepherd dog. Some bees had hurt and
apparently broken its leg by throwing
stones, and 10 had been decided TO hang
Il TO put IL out OF its misery.
The little girl went fearlessly up to
where he lay, saying, in soft, caressing
tone, Poor Cap, poor Cap" It was
enough. He looked up with his speak
ing brown eyes, now bloodshot and full
of pain, into her face, and did not re-
sent IL when, kneelng down beside
him, she stroked with her little un-
gloved hand the large, intelligent head.
To tho vicar, he was rather less
amenable, but by dint Of coaxing ho ut
last allowed him TO touch and examine
the wounded leg, Florence persuasively
telling him that it was "all right. " In.
deed, she was on the floor beside him,
with his head on her lap, keeping up
continuous murmur, much as q mother
does over sick child. "Well. "said tho
vicar, rising from his examination, "as
far as can tell, there are no bones bro
KEN the leg is badly bruised It ought
TO be fomented to take the inflammation
and swelling down" "How do you
foment2" asked Florence. "With hot
cloths dipped in boiling water" an
swered tho vicar. "Then that's quite
easy. I'll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy,
get sticks and make the kettle boil" "
There was no hesitation in the child's
manner. She was told what ought to bo
done, and she set about doing it as q
simple matter Of course. "But they will
be expecting you at home" said the
vicar. "Not IL you tell them I'm here, :"
answered Florence, "and my sister and
one Of tho maids can come and take me
home in time for tea, and" she hesitat-
ed, "they had better bring some old fan
mel and cloths; there does not seem to
be much here. But you will wait and
show me how to foment, won't your"
"Well, yes," said the vicar, carried
away by the quick energy Of the little
girl. And soon the fire was lit and the
water boiling. An old smock frock Of
the shepherds had been discovered in a
corner, which Florence had deliberately
torn in pieces, and to the wears remark.
What will Roger say?" she answered,
"We'll get him another !" And so Flor
ence Nightingale made her first COM
press and spent all that bright spring
day in nursing her first patient-the
shepherds dog Everywhere.

The interior Of Muscat is particularly
gloomy, tho bazaars are narrow and
dirty, and rooted over with palm mat
ting. They offer but little of interest,
and IL you are fond Of tho Arabian
sweetmeat called halwa, it is just as
well not to watch it being made there,
for niggers' feet are usually employed
to stir it, and the knowledge of this is
apt to spoil the flavor. Most of Muscat
is now in ruins Fifty years ago the pop
ulation must have been nearly three
times greater than it ia now. There is
also wanting in the town the feature
which makes most Moslem towns pic
uresquo-namely, the minaret. The
mosques Of the Ibadhhieh sect are squa-
lid and uninteresting. AT first it is diff
cult to recognize them from the court
yard Of an ordinary house, but by de-
groes the eye gets trained to identify u
mosque by the tiny substitute for min
arot attached to each-namely, sort of
bell shaped cone about 4 feet high,
which is placed above ono corner of the

Queer Beliefs About the Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only on
st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gather
ing Of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Povet,
in his "Pandemonium, published in
1854, says: "Much discourse hath been
about gathering Of fern seed (Which is
looked upon as a magical herb ON tho
night Of midsummer's eve, and re-
member was told Of one who went to
gather it, and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts of his body. In
tine though he apprehended he had got
ten quantity of it and secured it in pa
pers and box beside, when he got home
he found all empty. But most probable
this appointing of time and hours is Of

fact that having once ensnared people to

USES OF OZONE.
Valuable For ArtiHcially Aging Liquor OF
Seasoning Wood.


Ozone is now practically applied for
several purposes Experiments with it
have shown that 1t will artificially age
brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines
and liquors. Ozone will also improve
coffee by rendering harmless oily beans.
The aroma Of tobacco is also considera.
bly, improved by the application Of
ozone. The latest application of it is for
rapid seasoning Of wood for sounding
boards Of musical instruments, which
for the purpose is left in Theoretically
closed, heated room from l2 to "a
hours, ozonified air being freely intro
duced into the room. 1t seems that this
process will harden the wood, increase
its resistance against the influence Of
temperature and moisture and give it
considerably more acoustic or resound-
ing quality.
Another recent application of ozonified
air is that Of the thickening of linseed
oil for the manufacture of linoleum,
which by the old process took several
months By the liberal use of ozone
linseed oil is now thickened to the re-
quired consistency within a few days.
Most remarkable, however, is the ad-
vantage Of employing ozone for bleach
ing linen, since the time employed is
less than one-third Of the bleaching proc
ess by sunlight, not considering that
this latter is dependent both upon the
season and the weather. The ozone proc
ess Of bleaching renders the work abso.
lutely independent Of outside influences.
Ozone has also been found very valua-
BILE in chemical and technical processes,
particularly in the production of pure
derivatives Of starch. for instance. solu-
BILE starch, dextrin, crystal gum, etc.
Here the ozone is instrumental in tax
ing away all the matter which causes
the dark color, bad odor and taste. -
