with which her name will always be as
ISOLATED, and for which she will always
be loved and hono1sed, began during
the Crimean wax. Within a few weeks
after the commencement of actual
fighting in 1854 England was f1orrsfied
and ashamed ito bear of the frightful
disorganization Gf the supplies, and
of the utter breakdown of the ,cemmis-

population was undertaken a month
after the disaster by the Red Cross So

wholly unknown here. For four years
Miss Barton worked to have the Uni
ted States government sign Efe Inter-
national Red Gross conventions. In 1881
Congress passed the needed legislation
and the american Association Of the
Red Cross was formed. Miss Barton
was subsequently elected president.
The first field work of the society was
done IN 1882, when the Mississippi over
flowed Miss Barton started for the
scene with meager FUND, but aid soon
poured iii and more resources were sup
piled than were needed, so that a sur
plus was put by for the next great dis
aster. In the next year the Ohio floods
and the Louisiana cyclone, and in the
following year the Mississippi and Ohio
floods again called out the Red Cross
workers
In 1886 the dronth in Texas and the
Charleston earthquake sent the Red
Cross agents huErying to the scenes OF
suffering and death. In 1887 Miss Bar

of Baden, and in the same year she re-

Finding Things His Trade.

There are fully thousand ways of
making a living in New York which
i'm any other city in America would
seem utterly impossible. and the man
who makes his livelihood in New York
in the strangest manner claims TO live
better than them all. His place of bust
ness is situated between Fourteenth
and Twenty third streets. in Sixth ave-

Between the streets named in Sixth
Avenue is a shopping district where
more women pass in Il day than in a
like number of blocks in any other poI-
ton of the city--in fact. this portion of
Sixth avenue is conceded TO be the
busiest place for women in the United
States.
This ''finder," shabbily dressed
young man, walks up and down the
avenue, keenly watching the throngs
of women as they pass him. Whenever
any one drops anything he runs and
picks it up and restores it to its owner,
making charge for its return.
For handkerchiefs he gets from two
to ten cents. and for other articles ac-
cording to their value.

wack hospital at Scutari measured
more than two miles in length.
When Miss Nightingale returned 70
England she received such a welcome
as probably has fallen to no other wenl-
an. The nation rose to do her henor.
The queen presented her jewel in
commemoa:a ton of her work in the
Crimea, and NATIONAL testimonial took
the form of a popular subscription Of
S25O,000. Miss Nightingale devoted
this SUM to the permanent endowment
of schools for the training of nurses
in ST Thomas and Kings College hos

war has taken place without calling
forth the services Of trained hands and
skilled nurses.
Miss Barton held position in the
patent Office at Washington at the open
ing of the war. Her brother was cap
tured, and. she determined to go South
and make,an effort to Hibernate him. just
beforeithe battle of Bull Run she adver-
tised in the Worcester NMass.) papers
that she would receive stores and mon

tribute. The appeal was so literally
answered that she filed a building III

front, and after the death of her broth

On returning to Washington she petit

bill was finally passed giving her $15,-
1000 for expenses already incurred and
for services to be rendered, the appro-
pria ton having reference to her pro-
posed search for the graves of soldiers,
unknoWn, missing, and nnrecorded. The
path to this work opened for Miss Bar
ton through the records kept by Dor
rance Atwater, Connecticut boy in
|sprison at Andersonyille. He had been
lfdetailed to keep for the prison authori-
I:ties record of the dead and their
burial Thinking that'tle folks at home
would like to know he preserved on
rags and bits of paper:a duplicate set

Gated on plot of the burying ground.
After the war Miss Barton secured
I these lists of $4,000 laaneSy and together
! they had thousan of graves marked
Iywith head-boards at-Andersonvillea and
l. elsewhere.
| In 1869, nearing iher 10th birthday,
Miss Barton went abroad for necessary
crest and recuperation. The next year
sthe Franco-Prussian war broke out
and Miss Barton sought the battle
fields and did effective work among
the wounded, especially at Strasburg.
From Strasburg she went to:relieye the

notice of the head Of the latter society,
the Empress Augusta.

Gifts from Royalty.

AS a result of this and other visits
and services Miss Barton has received
a jewel gift from the grand duchess Of
Baden, the jewel Of the American Red
Cross, the Servian decoration of the
Red Cross, presented by Queen Ma

Cross medal from the queen of Italy,
and an English decoration, pinned on
