A HARD CASE.

An army nurse but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington, declares
that never again will she go to coun-
try whose language she cannot under
stand, says the Washington "Post.
1t was before hostilities had come to
a definite end that she was startled
one day by the unexpected visit of her
Caban laundress. The woman was in
tensely excited. Anxiety sat on her
brow, and sorrow dwelt in her eyes.
She gesticulated and she talked. The
nurse knew not word of what she
said, but the pantomime filled her with
terror. The Cuban's hands seemed
to speak of an attack on the hospital
of wounded men but"hered and nurses
cut 10 ribbons The nurse was frantic.
She must know the worst. In the
hospital was an officer very i'll with
typhoid fever. She knew he under
stood Spanish. Only in matter of
life or death would she disturb him,
but this was obviously matter OF life
or death. She led the Cuban woman
to the bedside, and there the story was
repeated. The officer listened intent
ly. The nurse held her breath. The
Cuban ceased The sick man turned
his head on the pillows. "She says"
he whisptred feebly, "she says the
stripes in your pink shirt waist have
run, and she doesn't know what to do
with it, That same nurse confessed
to having been desperately homesick

LIQUID AIR.


lectured Tuesday night at the Acad-
emy of Music in that city, on liquid
air.
Professor Simon secured the liquid
air he used Tuesday night from Mr.
Trippler's laboratory in New York.
1t was shipped at l p. m, Tuesday
and then weighed forty-fve pounds.
Tuesday night at the lecture there
were but twenty-eight pounds, the
other seventeen pounds having evap-
grated.
Liquid air is one of the most re-
markable discoveries" said the lectur-
er Stew would believe few years
ago that it could be carried in milk
cans through the streets of New York.
A milk can brought the air from New
York Tuesday. Two conditions alone
are essential sufficiently low tenn
perature and the application of sufli-
cient pressure. The pressure without
the requisite low temperature will not
accomplish the work. This liquid air
was subjected to a pressure Of IA 900
tons to a square foot at a temperature
of 3l2 degrees below zero, Fahenheit." +"
He said scientists believe the actual
zero to be $50 degrees. By stereop-
ticon views he gave portraits of chemi-
cal scientists of Tripler and his labor
atory. He then proceeded to demon
strate how cold liquilied air was in
comparison with the ordinary tempera-
ture.
He opened the can, dropped a dipper
into the all and then emptied the con-
tents upon the floor. From the dipper
to the stage there was white cloud,
resembling snow. 1t was solidfied by
the surrounding air. He poured some
on cake of ice and it leaped to the
floor like water from a red hot stove.
The ice was hot in comparison to the
liquified air. He poured some in a
glass and it boiled because the temper
ature of the glass was like redhot tea
pot in the air. He then put it in vacu-
um bulbs and passed them to the au-
dience for inspection. The liquid was
blue. showing the presence of oxygen.
He then cooked in kettle at one time
meat, steel, paraffine, rubber balls, soft
lead, ice and other substances and all
became brittle as glass. He made a
hammer of frozen mercury and passed
it to the audience, but before it came
back the atmosphere had thawed the
mercury and the hammer handle float
ed in liquid, Mercury freezes at 40
degrees below zero.
Whiskey was frozen solid-made in
to a whiskey-ice. "The whiskey is
now in shape" suggested Prof. Simon,
''for those who will not drink it," 1t
was passed to the audience but no one
ate it. Alcohol was frozen into crystals
then giving the consistency of hon y.
A balloon was filled with Baltimore air
and this air was liquifed Many other
experiments were performed, much to
the edification and entertainment of
the audience.

TEMPORARY DEATH.
BY AUSTIN BIERBOWER.

Every moment wasted is so much
time given to death. We live only as
much as we use our time. One with
seventy years may live but twenty of
them. What is spent in needless sleep
is taken from his years; and so what
idleness consumes. Only while we do
or enjoy, do we live.
One should never wait for time to
pass, as that is calling on death to hur-
ry up. If time hangs heavily, we
should get to work, so as to live in
that time, and add to our life instead
of to our death. We are alive only as
long as we are doing we'll with our
time. Doing nothing surrenders life,
and doing badly snrrenders more.
One should not be killing himself by
bad living. He lives longest who
lives best, and life while it lasts is
worth most to him.
When we have so little of nything
as of time, we should not make it less
by misusing it, or by not using it. Of
all things that man may give away,
his life should be least willingly parted
with. Every one ought to learn to
learn to make life much.
One should never give any of his
life for what is worth less than life
and he should keep himself fully in
life while he lives.
To live best one must do all for
which life is adapted; so that he
should consider, when he let's anything
go, how much of life goes with it.
When one knows not what to do,
his first business is to learn. Time
should not be spent in waiting that
may be given to working. There is
too much to be done to excuse idle
ness; and he who has nothing to do
has simply not found his work. Were
he more alive, he would know his duty,
and be at it.
One should fear to be idle, lest he
die for awhile; and death should not
come in the middle of life, and more
than prematurely at the end. While
one is alive, he should all live, and live
all the time. We have many ways of
dying and man., EFF being dead; and
death before our time is always sad, as
also temporary death.
When sleep takes too much of our
time, death gets it; and so when idle
ness does. One must be very much
alive not to be encroached on by death.
If we live seventy years, we should
have seventy years of life, instead of a
life that is mostly DEATH
Having only as much life as time,
we shorten what we hare, if we do not
use our time. One should, according
ly, ask how much he lives in day.
For there are great livers, as well as
great workers and great enjoyers; and,
as some get much more life in the
same time than others, people should
learn TO live, and become expert at it.
Many long for Immortality who
have too much lite already. They
know not how to spend century, and
yet want an eternity. Nobody is fit
for Immortality who cannot use well
what time he has.-N. Y Home Journal.

Famous Bells.

On the bell ola small village church,
in the east of Germany, there is carved
the figure of cornstalk. The corn
stalk has an interesting story connected
with it. When the church was built
the poor people had spent all their
money, and had nothing over with
which to buy bell to hang in the
tower. One day when the schoolmas-
ter was going to the service he saw
growing out of a crack in the old
crumbling wall of the churchyard
green stalk of corn. The idea sudden
ly struck hlm that perhaps this green
stalk of corn, on what We call 1.-THE
SNOWFALL plan," which grows bigger as
it rolls on, might be made the means
of getting the coveted bell. He waited
till the cornstalk was golden ripe, and
then plucked the six ears that were on
it, and sowed them next spring in his
garden. In the autumn time he gath
cred the little crop thus produced, and
sowed it again. till at last he had not
room enough in his garden for the har
vest So he divided the seeds among
a certain number of farmers, who went
on sowing the produce until in the
eighth year the crop was so large that
when it was put together and sold they
found that they had money enough to
buy large and beautiful bell. And
they carved upon it the story Of its
origin, and the stalk of corn to which
it owed its existence.
A story of another kind is told of a
bell in one of the churches at Laden
burg, Germany. A long time ago;
about A. d. 1913, young lady Of the
noble family Of Sickingen was return
ing home to Ladenburg from a visit to
neighboring village. An unexpected
snowstorm brought on darkness before
she could reach the town. At that
period there were still remains of for
est in the wide surrounding plain.
The mantle of snow soon obliterated
the roads In this condition of things,
the young lady soon lost her way, and
wandered belplcssly about in the dark
wintry night. In her distress of be-
wilderment and despondency, she
prayed ardently to heaven for deliver
ance. When hope had well nigh died
in her bosom, she heard the peal of
bell. She FASTENED in the direction of
the sound, and as the bell continued to
sound, she still followed, until at length
she found herself under the wall of
Ladenburg. In grateful commemora-
tion of this delivcrance, the knight,
Hans Won Sickingen, founded Il charity
of six hundred bushels OF wheat to be
distributed every year among the poor
OF the town, with the additional stipu-
latiOn that forever after bell should
sound from that church tower at the
same hour Of the night that brought
deliverance to the young girl.

WHERE'S MOTHER?

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say,
Trooping, crowding, big and small,
On the threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by
"Where's mother"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the brOnzed and bearded son,
Perils past, and honOrs won;
where's mOther?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest Of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say,
where's mOther:'
Mother, with untiring hands,
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own;
Anxious for the good alone
OF the children as they cry,
Ever as the days 60 by,
"Where's mother"

THE BELLS OF FLORENCE.

Among the many bells that swing
from ancient belfry, tower, or steeple
in fair Florence, none claims more
absorbing interest than the old bell of
the PalaZZo Necchio AS far back as
the thirteenth century it was associ-
atel with the political life of Florence
During the frequent popular strifes for
supremacy its deep voice summoned
the citizens to fight for the possession
of their beloved bell But when the
city was threatened hy foreign foe,
then-whether Guelph or Ghibeline--
the citizens were of one mind, and
when proud Charles of Anjou sent his
plumcd heralds to summon the be-
leaguered city to surrender, Pier Cap
poni gave this sublime answer: elbow
your war trumpets; we will ring our
bells"
But no other bells in Florence can
boast of such glorious setting as the
chimes of the Campanilc. Standing

enemy. There were no trees for miles
about, but he noticed a leaf lying a few
yards off the track, and he convinced
