IT is proposed to use asbestos in the
soles of boots. Asbestos wool, pressed
by hydraulic force into thin sheets,
water-proofed on one side, is to be in
serted as the middle sole. Asbestos is
a non-conductor of heat, and, in con-
junction with a waterproof material,
will have the effect of counteracting
the influence of heat, cold and mois-
fnre.

A Beautiful Incident In the Childhood OF
FIorenee NigitingaIe.

Florence Nightingale.
There is a beautiful incident related
of Florence Nightingale, when she was
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 a Scotch
shepherd dog. Some boys had hurt and
apparently broken its leg by throwing
stones, and it had been decided to hang
it to put it out of its misery.
The little girl went fearlessly mp to
where he lay, saying, in a soft, caressing
tone, Poor Cap, poor Cap 1t 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 it when, kneeling down beside
him, she stroked with her little nm
gloved hand the large, intelligent head
To the vicar, he was rather less
amenable, but by dint of coaxing he at
last allowed him to touch and examine
the wounded leg, Florence persuasively
telling him that it was ''all right - In
deed. she was o. the floor beside him,
with his head on her lap. keeping up a
continuous murmur, much as a mother
does over sick child. well, . said the
vicar, rising from his examination, as

There was no hesitation in the childis
manner. She was told what ought to be
done, and she set about doing it as a
simple matter Of course. But they will
be expecting you at home, said the
vicar. Not if you tell them I'm here. .

one Of the maids can come and take me

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 vicar IS remark,
''What Will Roger say?" she answered,
"We'll get him another !" And so Flor

USES OF OZONE.
Valuable For Artihcially Aging Liquor or
Seasoning Wood.

w OOus
Csone is now practically applied for
several purposes. Experiments with it
have shown that it 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 10 to "a
hours, ozonifed 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 cf 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
hnseed oil is now thickened to the re-
quired consistency within few days
Most remarkable, however, is the adj
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 tho
season and the weather The ozone proc
ess Of bleaching renders the work abso.

Ozone has also been found very valua-

FoEGoT HIS SERMoS.-Rey. Charls 9
Beattie, pastor OF the Second Presby-
terian Church of Middletown, n Y,
surprised his congregation at the b,g n
ming OF the service on Sunday evenir g
by declaring that he could not remeu;-
Der mis- sermon. He dismissed the as
semblege at once.
Soon after the pastor entered his
pulpit he showed great uneasiness, and
when the time arrived to announce his
text, he arose and stated that he could
MT recall any portion OF the sermon ne
led expected to deliver and that there
appeared to be no connection between
the past aud present as far as the SER
mon was concerned. he then pro-
nounced the benediction and the coz
egation dispersed.
DR.. Beattie mas been pastor OF the
Second Presbyterian Church for thirty
two consecutive years. and during the
past few months. has been working un-
usually hard. Il is believed his pc
culiar experience was due to bis having
oyertaxed his strength. He IL recog-
uiz.d as one of the ablest clergymen IN
the city, and usually delivers his dis
courses without manuscript.
