regular monthly meeting of the Republican AS
ISOLATION of the Twenty fifth Ward TO expel
from the party organization thirty-fve Anti
Machine members of the Ward Committee The
Anti-Machine men In the Twenty-fifth ward
are decidedly in the majority. but their oppo-
ncnts of the Plat stripe think that they have
them in a tight place. and will try tonight
to gain control of the organization by employ
ing tactics in which they are taking lessons
from the leaders of the machine organization In
New-York County. These members of the Ward
Committee. led by Messrs. Wassmuth. Chambers
and Brennan. claimed to have elected the Off
GERS of the Twenty Nth Ward Committee. and
also the delegates to the County Committee but
they say that they have been unfairly deprived
of the fruits IF their victory.

by the County Committee the Anti-Machine men
remained away from their meetings The
County Committee has adjourned until Sep
TENDER without acting In reference 10 the con
tests. referring It back to the ward for
settlement. The Ward Committee. instead Of

of this committee the fortunes Of all delegates
who had remained away from the meeting. as
serting that this committee Of Ave has the same
power the Committee on organization In the
County Committee. because the Ward Commit
tee had adopted the County Committees by
laws. and. therefore. that 1t has the power of
the County Committee.
The committee of five met on Saturday and

polling the thirty-fve members OF the Ward

acting upon questionable gEound, and that ther"

WHAT THE KINDERGARTEN SOCIETY HAS
DONE.

These principles" continued Mr.. Chadwick ARE
what the kindergarten Association or society, as
II is termed stands for and believe this is the
only way In which kindergartens can be introduced
into public school system in an intelligent way
Our society, which has been In existence for five
years has established a number OF free kinder
gartens for the poor children of the city, but It's
resources are limited and II has been able 10 make
only small start in the great work that needs to
be done But II has. think, succeeded In impressing
the Importance OK the kindergarten on the minds
Of many people who had only The vaguest idea OF it
been taken in inducing the Board of Education TO
ask for a small appropriation for this purpose II
the effort secure IL Is not successful this
feel sure that another attempt will be made next
year. and the effort will be kept UP until IL Is
cessful But the kindergarten must be introduced
into the schools If at all in an Intelligent manner
and the work must begin in small way and
gradually be extended until all the children OF the
city are brought under its benign influence at the
fmpre reasonable age of four five, when many
children are allowed to at large in the streets
and receive impressions that may be lasting

Aroma and Bouquet In Wines.

Aroma and bouquet" said we'll
known wine expert, 'are too often TAX
Ell to mean the same thing in wine.
Flavor pertains especially to the linger-
ing aftertaste of wine when swallowed.
Aroma and bouquet appeal only to the
smell, and the former exists in the grape
itself, while bouquet only manifests
itself long after fermentation is COM
pleted. Bouquet is never present except
in the purest wines. 1t seems to arise
from union Of several agreeable odors,
and any mixture would surely destroy
it, There arc no truly fine wines with
out strikingly marked agreeable bou-
quet, and where all other qualities are
of equal perfection the bouquet makes
the distinction that gives to the wine
possessing it always the preference -

Her FIRST PATIENT.
A Beautiful Incident In tho Childhood OF
Nlorcnco Nightingale.

Tlorcnco Nightingale.
There is Al beautiful incident related
Of Florence Nightingale, when she was
q child Ii shows that God had already
planted within her tho germ which was
to develop so beautifully in after days.
Her first wounded patient was n 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 it's misery.
The little girl went fearlessly up to
where lie lay, saying, in n soft, caressing
tone, Poor Cap, poor Cap" 1t was
enough. Ho looked up wah his speak
ing brown Dyes, DOW bloodshot and full
of pain, into her face and did not re-
sent it when, kneeling down beside
him, she stroked with her little I'M
gloved hand the large, intelligent head.
To tho vicar, he was rather less
amenablc, but by dint of coaxing he ut
last allowed him to touch and examine
the wounded leg, Florence persuasively
telling him that it was "all right. In
deed. sho was on the floor beside him,
with his head on her lap. keeping up q
continuous murmur, much as mother
does over sick child. "Well," said the
vicar, rising from his examination, Gas
far Us can tell. there are no bones bro
ken; the leg is badly bruised. It ought
to BIO fomented to take tho inflammation
and swelling down." "How do you
foment?" 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 be
done, and she set about doing it as
simple matter of course. "But they will
be expecting you at home" said the
vicar. mot if you tell them I'm here, )"
answered Florence, land my sister and
one of the 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 fomcnt, won't your"
We'll, yes" said the vicar, carried
away by the quick energy of the little
girl. And soon tho 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 s remark,
What will Roger say?" she answered,
we'll get him another. T" And so Flor

press and spent nil that bright spring
day i'll nursing her first patient-the

A DOG THAT REASONED.
Ho Knew When It Was Safo to sIcop on
His Masters bed.


No one that knew Bombshell over
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but occasionally i would find stranger
who was not inclined to believe it, and
then would tell him the following
story: My parlor was front casemato
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, % back casemate. A casemato
may be described as room i'll tho wall
of u fort, generally intended, in war
time, to hold gun or powder, while i'll
time of peace many of them, like mino,
arc fitted up for use us quarters for Off
GERS and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed in tho
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could.
had tried to break him of the habit, but
had not been successful.
One day he came in wot and muddy,
and, as usual, curled up OIL my white
counterpane. The result was awful AS
much as hated to do SO, felt Obliged
to give him thrashing.
1 never caught him OH my bed again.
He would still get OH it; but, no mat.
ter how quietly came i'll, would al
ways find him Oh the floor, though I
could see from the rumpled condition of
the bed that he had been OH it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
Ono evening went out, leaving
Bonbsholl lying by the parlor stove.
Ont of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position I was
able to see the whole of both of MY
rooms.
For awhile Bombshell did not move
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
on it. Standing in this position,
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hasn't gone?
He will catch me and then 1 shall get q
licking. IN go and mako certain that
ho is not coming back"
l know that he said this because he
took his paws off the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, ho listened.
At last, satisfied that had really gone,
he trotted back to tho bed, jumped on
1t, curled up and went to sleep
After such clever act thought that
he had earned his sleep. so went away
and left him. Nicholas.

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

Seasoning Wood.
Ozone 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 q Theoretically
closed, heated room from 10 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 moro acoustic or resound-
ing quality.
Another recent application of ozonified
air is that of the thickening of linseed
oil for tho manufacture of linoleum,
which by tho old process took several
months. By the liberal use of ozone
linseed 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 tho 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 tho work abso
lutely independent Of outside influences
Ozone has also been found very valua-
BILE i'll chemical and technical processes,
particularly i'll 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 =
