There is IL beautiful incident related
of Florence Nightingale, when sho was
q child. II shows that God had already
planted within her The germ which was
to develop SO beautifully in after days.
Her first wounded patient was q Scotch
shepherd dog. Some boys had hurt and
apparently broken its leg by throwing
stones, md it had been decided to hang

The little girl went fearlessly up to
where he lay, saying, in u soft. caressing
tone. Poor Cap, poor Cap" It was
enough. He looked up wxh his speak

Of pain, into her face, md did not re-

him, she strOked with her little I'M
gloved hand the large, intelligent head.
To tho vicar, he wax rather. less
amenable, but by dint Of coaSing he ut
last allowed him to touch and examine
the wounded leg, Florence persuasively
telling him that it was call right" In
deed. she was N the floor beside him,
with his head OH her lap, keeping up n
continuous murmur, much as q mother
does over u sick child. well said the
vicar, rising from his examination, cas-
far as I can tell, there are nc bones bro

to BIO fomented to take the inflammation
and swelling down." "How do you

There was no hesitation in the child's
nne She was told what ought to be
done, and she set about doing it as o
simple matter of course. "But they will
be expecting you ut home" said tho
vicar. mot if you tell them I'm here -
answered Florence, land my sister and
one Of the maids can come and take me

away by tho quick energy of the little
girl. And soon the fro was lit and the
water boiling. An old smock frock of
tho shepherds had been discovered in a
corner, which Florence had deliberately
torn in pieces, and to the wears remark,
What will Roger say?" sho answered,

USES OF OZONE.

Ozone is now practically applied for
several purposes. Experiments with it
have shown that it will nrtifcially nI,e

coffee by rendering harmless oily beans.
The aroma OF tobacco la also considcra-

oZonc. Tho latest application of it is for
rapid seasoning Of wood for sounding
boards Of musical Instruments, which
for the purpose is left In n Theoretically
closed, heated room from 10 to %
hours, ozonifled mir being freely intro
duced into tho room. 1t seems that this
process will harden the wood. increase
its resistance against tho influence Of
temperature Il moisture and give it
considerably more acoustic or resound-
ing quality.
Another recent application Of ozonihed
air is that of tho thickening Of linseed
oil for the manufacture Of linoleum,
which by the old process took several
months. By tho liberal use of ozone
linseed oil IS now ~thickened to tho re-
quired consistency within a few days.
Most remarkable. however, is the ad-
vantage OF employing ozone for bleach
