Ouida is said to be in a chronic state of
being hard up. A few years ago. says the
New York Sun, her debts piled up to such
a degree that all her possessions in her
house in Florence were ordered sold to sat
isfy creditors. An Engiishman, who was
one of Ouida's not over-many stanch
friends, bought everything in. Then he
went TO her, told her it was his great Pleas
ure to be able to save her from the straits
to which she had come, and, by way of
demonstrating his sincerity, tore up the bill
of sale and presented the fragments to the
winds of heaven. This was all very fine
and quite in keeping with the Ouida style
of doing things, but, alas! that interest
ing woman promptly began running into
debt more and was soon as badly off as
before. Again she was ordered to be sold
up. That was the point at which the de-
fects of the Ouida style became evident.
If the English gentleman had retained in
tact the proof of his having bought the
goods, he might have again saved his
friend. AS it was the sale proceeded, and,
with the exception of things bought in for
her by other good friends Ouida lost al
most everything she had. She has a phoe-
nix-like quality, however, which must be
responsible for the report that she has
been seen almost daily of late driving on
the Lung Arno in a carriage upholstered
in turquoise blue satin and attended by
three Spitz dogs.
A professional nurse at Leeds England
was remarkably successful in the care of
patients suffering from smallpox, diph-
liberia or pneumonia. In fact, she had
never lost patient with one of these COM
plants. Not long ago, however, she had a
pneumonia case which was given up by
the physician, much to the nurses chag-
rim.
He can't live through the night" said
the doctor.
Sure enough, when the nurse went to
give the sick man his medicine he only
shook his head. The distracted nurse saw
her proud record about 10 be broken and
she urged the patient to take his dose

''Well, SIR" said the nurse in despair

New York Tribune, that habits acquired
in childhood are apt to remain throughout
our lives, and it is curious to notice how

in earliest years, are especially clinging,
