Men Cheered Florence Nightingale.

The late Sir John Steele, sculptor to
Queen Victoria. was modelling a bust
OF Florence Nightingale, when an Of
fcer of II of the Highland regiments
which had suffered so cruelty in the
Crimean. heard that the bust had lust
been completed, and was In Sir Johns
studio. Many of the men in his COM
pany had passed through the hospital
at Scutari, and he obtained permission
from the sculptor to bring some of
them to see it. Accordingly a squad
OF men one day marched into the big
studio and stood in line.
hThey had no idea why they had been
mustered in so strange u place. With.
out a word of warning the bust was
uncovered, and then. as by one i'm.
pulse the men broke rank, and with
cries of Miss Nightingale. Miss
Nightingale!' surrounded the model,
and with hats off chcered the figure of
their devoted nurse until the roof
rang.
So spontaneous and hearty and &c
inspiring was the whole scene that in

under the direction of men who have

The advantages of bituminOus ma
cadam properly constructed are It's dur

mud, dust and loose stones In summer.
1t makes n clean. comparatively noise

traffic. making mud or dust, and soon
allows the stones to loosen.
A bituminOuS macadam road is wa

the street, and prevents The washing

WORD OF WISDOM.

Subtle temptations need swift resist

The silent worker is sure to be heard

Great treasures do % need large

An addition is not necessarily an in

Mad dogs should not be taken by

The hatred of the bad is the halo OF
the good.
Most things are easier to learn than
10 unlearn.
The power of the heart Is the heart
of all power.
The best men are not always in the
biggest places,
Preparation may be more than half
Of performance.
When the heart is upliftcd in pride
it is seldom broadcned in charity.

Queer Smallpox Test.

A correspondent sends US n curious
aud interesting account of a test for
smallpox which was tried in Ports
mouth during an outbreak which took
place there many years ago. In u
certain place in the town there was
a death in almost every house, while
In an adjoining street there were no
cases mt all. The theory was pro-
pounded that the air OF the former
street was infected. and the authOrl-
ties rcsorted to this test: They erected
Il tail pole ut the end of each street.
and III the top Of each pole was
fastened Il piece of fresh meat. At the
end of w hours the meat in the In
fected street was rotten. while in the
other street it remained sweet and
good for twenty-four hours, 1t would
be interesting to learn If there are
other cases of the successful applica-
cation of this test.-LondOn Globe.
