HER FIRST PATIENT.
sAsBeantifu1 Incident In tho Childhood ol:
Florence Nixhfinsnle

A Beautiful Incident In the Childhood ~
Florence Nightingale.
There issa beautiful incident related
Ct Florence ghtingale, when she was
a child. il shows that God had already
planted within her the germ which was
to develop so beautiful in after daye.
Her frzt wounded patient was a Scotch
shepherd dog. Some boys had hurt and
apparently broken its leg BY throwing
stonesy and it had been decided to hang
it to put it ont Of its misery.
The little girl went. fearlessly up to
where lay, saying in ia soft. caressing
tone, Poor Gap, poor Cap tt 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 un-
gloved hand the large, intelligent head.
To the vicar, he was rather less
amenable, bnt 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 on the floor beside him,
with his head on her lap, keeping up a
continuous murmur, much as mother
does over sick child. ''Well, said the
vicar, rising from his examination, '.as
far as can tell, there are no bones bro
ken; the leg is badly bruised. 1t ought
to be fomented to take the inflammation
and swelling down. - ''How do you
foment?'' asked Florence. ''With hot
cloths dipped in boiling water an
aswered the vicar. ''Then that's quite
easy: I'll stay and do,it. Now, Jimmy,
get sticks and make the kettle boil. -
f. There was no hesitation in the child's
manner. She was told what ought to be
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 if you tell them I'm here, .
answered Florence, and my sister and
one Of the maids can como 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 you?''
"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 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.

Ozone is now practically applied for
several purposes. Experiments with; it
have shown that it will astifcially age

coffee by rendering harmless oily beans;
The aroma of tobacco is also considera-

boards of musical instruments, which
for the purpose is left in Theoretically

less than one-third of the bleaching proc.

this latter is dependent both upon the
