A Noted Nurse.


There died recently in Paris Nine.
Coralie Cahen. according to the Jewish
Messenger, one of the most noted nurs-
es of the Franco-German war. One
story of her work on the field is well
worth repeating. The greater part of
her nursing was done in Vendome,
where, aided by two nurses and seven
Christian sisters of mercy, she received
thousands of French and German SOL
diers. When the Prussians occupied
Vendome they wished to hold the hos
pital and plant on it the German flag.
But, warned of the enemys intentions.
Nine. Cahen. early one January morn
ing. visited the Prussian general, who,
surrounded by his staff, was about to
seize the building. Sir" she ex-
claimed, I'VE have received your
wounded and nursed them as though
they were our own; we will continue to
do SO, but we will remain in a French
ambulance: we will not have it con-
verted into German ambulance"
Madame" was the reply, I'VE are mas
ters." In the town it may be; here,
mol" was the answer. I'VE are pro-
tected by the Red cross and the French
flag; you have no right to touch either
the one or the other" She conquered,
and from that day the utmost admira-
tion was openly evinced for her by the
Germans When, after the signature
of peace. the German medical staff
were about to quit Vendome. the sur
geon-in-chief asked leave to take
public farewell of the French woman.
Accompanied by the military doctors
placed under his orders, he said:
Madame, we cannot leave France
without thanking you. not alone in the
name of the German nation, but In the
name of humanity. We can never for
get that you compelled us to yield in
the face both Of your patriotism and of
your benevolence."

Lived on the Sea All Their Lives

A little blue-eyed baby girl was
crawling on the cabin deck under an
awning aboard the iron bark Star of
the East as that vessel lay moored at
pier in New York. Her mother the
wife of Captain George Norman Rog-
ers, who commands the bark, was with
her child. whom they had named Star
Cameron Rogers. Beside the baby was
her sister Margaret, who is years and
months old. Little Star was born
aboard the bark while the vessel was
humming along near the island of Iris
tan de Chuna, in the South Atlantic,
on November IL, 1898. There was
never healthier child than Star. Since
she was born she had been aboard the
bark nearly all the time, with the ex-
ceptlon of short stay ashore at Auck-
land, New Zealand, where the child
was introduced to her grandmother.
When reporter went aboard, Star had
Just finished her afternoon sleep, ald
after her mother had put white silk
dress on the baby she was held up to
be seen. She has rosy complexion
and bright smile. and is the picture
of health. She has travelled more than
$4,000 miles since she was born, and
has been around Cape Horn Star
never slept in a bed. When she was
much smaller than she is now her
mother took her into her bunk at
night. But on the voyage home the
child slept in canvas hammock The
more the bark rocked and rolled the
better the baby seemed to like it. The
sailors of the bark are proud of little
Star, and say she is their mascot.
Margaret can walk and talk. She is a
regular little sailor. She has been
around the Horn twice, and has made a
voyage around the world. Margaret is
different from Shore" babies. She
does not care for toys. She has some
blocks and other little things with
which to play, but she likes best of all
to stand at the wheel. Margaret also
sleeps in hammock. 1t is only during
rough weather that her mother takes
her into her own bunk. Margaret cele-
bri ted the Fourth of July by eating
her first orange and her first dish of
strawberries. She did not know wheth-
er she liked the fruit or not.

Little Jack had two apples, which he
had saved from desert. There were
visitors in the room, and one of the
gentlemen thought it would be good
opportunity to give Jack lesson in
manners. So he called the boy and
said: Il see you have two apples,
Jacky. Won't you give me one?"
Jack hesitated. looked rather ruefully
at his prizes, and finally offered the
smaller one. This was what the gen.
tleman had expected. and he proceed
ed to expatiate upon it. ending with:
Now, Jack. whenever you have any
thing to give away. you should always
keep the poorest for yourself" This
might be good manners. but it didn't
harmonize with Jacks desires. So he
ruminated over 1t a while, and then
stuck out the other fist. Take the
other one. too" he said generously

Military Incompetence of the Chinese.


Some of the stories of Chinese ig-
norance and incompetency in military
affairs narrated by Lord Charles Be-
resford are amusing and yet pathetic
in way. The viceroy asked their dis
tinguished British rector to inspect
certain forts and give candid opin-
ion on them. I'm one of these forts
there was heavy battery of sixty-ton
muzzle-loading guns, which were load
ed by depressing the muzzle into the
magazine. l ventured to point out to
the general the danger of this proceed
ing, and the likelihood, through care
less sponging, of the magazine being
blown up. The general congratulated
me on my acumen, and Immediately
showed me where a magazine had ex-
ploded the year before from the same
cause. and had been rebuilt for a prob
able repetition of this accident, which
cost no less than forty-two lives. At
another fort l asked to see the pow
der used in the heavy guns. and was
shown some powder of Chinese manu-
facture. l suggested that such powder
was not suitable and might burst the
gun. The general in command replied:
Yes, 1t does; we have lately blown the
breech off two twelve-inch fifty-ton
krupp guns, and killed and wounded
thirty men, Before this conversation
had observed in fort some distance
off, two twelve-inch Krupp guns fitted
with Armstrong breech mechanism,
and on inquiring the reason had been
informed that the breech had been
blown off, owing to the use of Chinese
powder at exercise" 1t seems incred-
ible, but Lord Charles found some of
the soldiers still practiced in shooting
with bows and arrows at a target.
When at Pekin, he saw them practic-
ing in an open space near the observa-
tory. Hitting the target is a detail of
minor Importance; the real merit con-
sists in the position or attitude of the
bowman when discharging his shaft.
