Men Choered Florence Nightingale.

The late Sir John Steele, sculptor to
Queen Victoria, was modelling q bust
of Florence Nightingale, when an Of
ncer OF one 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
Mt Scutari, and he obtained permission
from the sculptor to bring some of
them to see it. Accordingly squad
of men one day marched into the big
studio and stood in line.
They had no idea why they had been
mustered in so strange place. With
out q word Of warning the bust was
uncoTered, 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 cheered the figure of
their devoted nurse until the roof
rang.
So spontaneous and hearty and so
inspiring was the whole scene that in
after days Sir Johu Steele declared
it to be the greatest compliment of his
life.-Sunday Magazine.

station and see If she is right" sug-
gested Mason, who was deadly pale
and much excited.
The investigating party soon re-
| turned, for they had met posse
which had surprised the robbers at
their work. Tho men they had cap
tured were two tramps who were ex-
actly as the girl had described them.
No one was more estonished than
Mason himself, or more overjoyed,
for it demonstrated as fact the
power that he feared might be fiction.
When on other occasions Ralph
Mason followed up this feat by 9TH
ers quite as wonderful, employing
Margaret Lansing as a subject, her
family objected. They argued that 1t
would injure Eer health, possibly
wreck her nerves, and that nothing
good would result from dabbling In
mysteries. Mason was greatly disap-
pointed, for he felt that the success
of great discovery depended on the
girl. What might he not accomplish
by her assistance? He might teach
her to read the stars, to fathom the se'
crets Of infnitude! And here he found
himself unable to cope with the first
edict Of parental authority.
The parents were undoubtedly right.
They saw on their daughters part an
| other kind Of infatuation, a growing
fondness for this young man whose
days were numbered. Science was
nothing when put in the scales with
| their love for their child. Mason ap-
pealed to Margaret Lansing as sick
man always appeals to healthy, SYM
pathetic woman. First, pity. then
love. He who has brutal health can
never know the sweet recompenses Of
| weakness. Your robust man has no
charm compared to the pleading love
OF an invalid. Ralph had said to Mar
garet that he could hypnotic her at n
distance.
II can bring you to me at any time
by calling you and willing you to
come. 1t will be impossible for you
not to obey me-"
She had smiled into his bright, COM
pelling eyes with a faith and belief
that were sublime, and held herself
in readiness to go like bird Of the
air when he called her, but nothing
came Of it, for he had tried-and
failed. His mind could not control
hers by any distant treatment, and he
had never been able to reach her by
either telepathy or hypnosis.
One night when Mason was on duty
at his station he received a telegram
from Rawlins, ten miles down the
line.

Bituminous NIacadam.

BY the use of carefully and scien-
tifically prepared bituminous cements,
skilfully mixed with crushed stone
under the direction Of men who have
had years OF practical experience in
handling bituminous materials suita-
BILE for street pavements, great i'm
provement is made over the ordinary
method employed in constructing ma
cadam roads.
The advantages Of bituminous ma
cadam properly constructed are its dur
ability, its being impervious to water
frost proof in winter, and preventing
mud, dust and loose stones in summer
1t makes q clean, comparatively noise
less and attractive roadway, while the
ordinary macadam road in general use
in this country soon wears badly under
traffic, making mud or dust, and soon
allows the stones to loosen.
A bituminous macadam road is wa
terproof. 1t does not absorb the filth OF
the street, and prevents the washing
by heavy rains to which the ordinary
macadam road is subject.
Good and uniform results cannot be
obtained by the use Of common coal
tar obtained from gas works in differ
ent sections Of the country. In fact, 1t
is impossible to secure bituminous
cement from the products of the aver
age gas works which will produce
good result.
The construction of this form of road
way demands the services of experts
in this line of work. The ordinary
coal tar has been tried repeatedly dur
ing the last thirty years. With very
few exceptions it has been total fail
ure.
The crown of road when finished
may vary on different roads, or even
on different grades Of the same road.
from one-half inch to one inch to the
foot. OF course, no inflexible data can
be given until the requirements of that
special road are known.
Where the travel Is light good road
can be built with six inches Of gravel
and light coat of crushed stone placed
on top. This works well on a steep
grade.

NOAH WEBsTER's BIRTHPLACE.
The Quaint Old House Still Standing
Near West Hartford.

The old house is still standing, one
mile south of West Hartford. on the
Newington road, in which, in 1883,
was born Americas great leXicogra-
pher His father, descendant in the
fourth generation from John Webster,
who previous to 1860 was governor of
Connecticut, was militia captain in
the time of the revolution, and the
son, who had already begun his stud
les which were to fit him for his toll
as a linguist, abandoned them for a
time and served in his fathers com
pany. The house of the Websters is
on the west side of the way, and
fronting sunrise" and the city Of
Hartford, commands a fine view of
the surrounding country. 1t is shad-
ed by naples and an elm, which lat
ter tree, as the easily believed tradi-
tion runs, was planted by Capt. Web
ster when his scholar-son was a boy.
The house stands with the side to
the street, and the front door, In
keeping with the style in vogue of
yore, is ornamented with q knocker.
Two stories high in front, the house
has two large front rooms on the
first floor, one on each side Of the
front entry. In keeping with the old
style, these rooms show the large
sheathed beams lower than the plas-
tered ceiling In the story above are
two bed rooms, corresponding to the
square room below. The back of the
house is but one story high the roof
sloping down unbroken from the
ridge. A huge chimney in the cen
ter of the house affords three fire.
places, one for each of the front rooms
and one for large room on the west
side of the house. This latter was
the "living room" of the Websters.
North of it is a pantry, and south
of it a sleeping room. Projecting to
the westward is an IL" in which there
is another large chimney with the
fireplace and brick oven that was con.
sidered indispensable to the kitchen
of old-time housekeepers. The tradi-
tions do not mention which room OF
the Webster house it was in which
the country's dictionary maker was
born, nor do they give the exact date
of the death of his father, Capt. Web
ster, nor the time when the farm
passed from the Websters to other
hands. The encyclopedias say that
DR.. Webster was born in Hartford,
which statment was true, for Hart.
ford once included the territory which
Is now West Hartford. The highway
on which the Webster house stands is
one of the finest for a drive to be
found in the state of Connecticut.
Though a valley road, 1t Is for some
of the distance SO far above the lands
on either side as to give the traveller
fine view of the landscape for miles
around. 1t is wide way, and one
that was laid out when people liked
room and had it.
