BclIieos> Wife of a French Attache
Didn't Recognize Americans
A French woman with q bitter
tongue who is the wife OF one OF the
attaches of the French embassy a.
Rome has. succeeded in getting her
husband into difficulties with his SUI
ceriors, and all because she did not
know the difference between an Eng
Hshman and an American.
Tie French attache and his wife
lived in fiat beneath a newly arrived
American couple. and the French wom-
an burned in her stove a particularly
sooty kind of soft coal which made
endless trouble for her neighbors
overhead.
The American finally wrote a polite
note asking the lady if she could not
use some other kind of fuel.
Within half an hour the American
received a highly bellicose reply ad-
dressed to THE Englishman on the
fifth floor 1t informed him that he
was exceedingly impe1 tinent, and that
he had better take his insolent orders
to the Transvaa1 and rid Europe of
the presence of such an obnoxious
creature.
The American sent the note to the
landlord. The landlord forwarded it
to the French embassy.
The embassy formally excused itself
from taking any official action in the
matter. Then it proceeded to make
it so hot for the poor attache and hig
bellicose wife that he has since left

that in future he will keep an eye on
the notes she writes to strangers.

tai drill one day commanded a bataI
lion for the first time. During one of
the movements he got on the wrong
flank of his battalion, and though he
discovered his mistake at once, he re-
manned there, rather than make the
change to avoid confusion After the
drill he happened to meet the colonel,
who remarked casually:
You were on the wrong flank OF
your battalion at one time during the

recent visit abroad. The Englishman
alighted at the Victoria hotel, and was
assisted carefully across the pave

who did not let go the sufferers arm
until two porters sprang forward in
side the main door to act as escort.
The Englishman turned and handed
the cabby shilling-the exact

ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS.
Beginning of Remarkable Work Done
by this Organization.

by this Organization.
In reading the record of work done
by the Red Cross in South Africa one
wonders once again that history should
be SO silent as to the treatment of the
sick and wounded in the great cam
paigns of the past. Even the inaugu-
ration of the movement in 1863 at &C.
neva, which has enabled the world to
realize the paradox OF how in TIE
midst of war to be at peace, created
no more stir in Europe than to give
rise to but a few lines in an out OF
the way part of the Times. Yet four
teen governments had sent delegates.
and such aristocratic bodies as the An
and such authorities were represented
as Miss Florence Nightingale, whose
work in the Crimea had first in his
tory stimulated the Imagination on
behalf of the wounded. But the i'm
mediate occasion of the convention
was the awful battles of Magenta and
of Solferino in 1859, which left 50 900
killed and wounded on the battlefield,
their blood giving the name to a new
dye, magenta. To-day more than thirty
nations are agreed to abide by the
Geneva convention. Toward the oon-
clusion of the Spanish-American war
the parallel to our Blue Book was a
big, handsome gray volume, with q
massive red cross on the cover, and

The only safe course to take is to keep
the blood pure. digestion good, and sleep
