Recopnized Their Old Friend,

The love which English people, espe-
cially British soldiers, feel for Florence
Nightingale has been shown at many
times and in many places. A new and
striking instance of 1t was recently
given by the Sunday Magazine.
The late Sir John Steel, sculptor to
Queen Victoria. was modelling a bust
of Miss Nightingale, when an officer OF
one Of the Highland regiments which
had suffered so cruelty in the Crlmea
heard that the bust had just been com.
pleted, and was In Sir Johns studio.
Many Of the men in his company had
passed through the hospital at Scutari,
and be obtained permission from the
sculptor to bring some Of them to see
1t. Accordingly. q 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 a place. With.
out a word Of warning the bust was un.
covered, and then. as by one impulse
the men broke rank. and with cries OF
'lliss Nightingale Miss Nlghtingalelr
surrounded the model, and with hats
off cheered the figure of their devoted
nurse until the roof rang.
So spontaneous and hearty and so In
spring was the whole scene that IN
after days Sir John Steel declared Il
to be the greatest compliment Of his
life

ness was summoned before Judge Nc
Carthy of the city court the other day
for jury duty. He Immediately asked
to be excused. When the Judge asked
him what excuse he had for not serv.
ing, he replied:
81 believe it is rule of the court
that the jury is the sole judge of the
facts and the court Of the law, that the
juror sould only weigh the facts as pre-
sented by the evidence, not taking in
to consideration any of the rules of law
governing the case; wherefore all law
yers are exempt from jury duty"
"But are you lawyer" asked Judge
Mccarthy.
"No, but have been a close student
Of the law for many years"
81 am afraid that cannot excuse
you if you are not lawyer, said the
court, smiling.
"But," continued the young man
with great earnestness, the color
mounting to his temples, 81 am sure,
If your honor knew as much law as
do, your conscience would not allow
you to serve on jury.
After the bench and bar had recov.
cred from this naive outburst the Judge
told the young man that il it was q
matter which affected his conscience sc
deeply he would excuse him, and a very
much abashed youth left the courtroom

TURNING SMOKE INTO GOLD.
Clever Way in Which Raleigh Defeated

Queen Elizabeth of England was not

Raleigh his pipe in the royal presence.
She was sufficiently woman, however.

the weed, and it was on one of these
occaslons-or so the author Of 'The

Elizabeth, holding 1t was impossible to

then, weighing the resultant ashes, an,

"Your majesty cannot deny that the

"Truly | cannot" answered the queen.
Ordering the wager to be paid, she

The American Museum Journal re-
ports that the twelve specimens of wild
pigeons recently added to the collec-
tions of the museum were secured only
with much difficulty, because of the
surprising fact that this species Of our
native birds, which within the past
fifty years has been one OF the most
abundant, Is now so rare, not only in
state of nature, but also In collec-
tions, that It is practically unobtain-
able.
Rain acts In two ways: a. chemical
ly, by dissolvlng certain substances,
such as lime, out of the rocks, and (2)
mechanically by wearing down their
surfaces as 1t 6ows over them. Any old
bullding-a ruined castle or cathedral,
| for instance--shows ''weathered" sur
face resulting from the action Of rain
and wind In sandstone structures the
details Of carving are often lost and on
old tombstones the lettering can hardly
be declphered. Springs are due to the
rain water collecting in rocks and ris-
ing to the surface. Rivers are fed by
rains and springs.
The widest difference between the
American and the British types of loco
motives, says the Scientific American,
is in their boiler capacity, and the great
er hauling power of our locomotives Is
due more to the fact that they possess
larger heating surface in their boilers
than to any other cause. Yet enormous
as our locomotive boilers have become,
there is still a call for greater power,
and this can only be obtained by a
change in the style of the boiler, for
much larger machines would not easily
pass through the tunnels and by the
platforms now In use.
The question, how far can light pene-

disturbance by waves greatest for calm

CIGARS THAT SAVED THEM.
Two Doctors Missed Train that Was

Two Doctors Missed Train that was
Wrecked In New York Tunnel.
That the habit of cigar smoking is
conducive to longevity is the firm be-
lief Of two physicians of the eastern
district of Brooklyn. Their faith In so
peculiar a theory is born Of the fact
that they owe their continued existence
TO the fondness of one of them for
smoking.
The story involved has to do with
the recent disaster In the New York
Central tunnel. DR.. Peter Hughes, sur
geon-ln-chief Of st. Catharine hospital,
and DR.. Paul F. Cavanagh Of GIG Bed

cerned. DR.. Hughes has a patient In
East 12Sth street, near Lenox avenue,
Manhattan, who is suffering from acute
appendicitis. On the night preceding
the day of the fatal collision In the
Park avenue tunnel DR.. Hughes called
I'm DR.. Cavanagh In consultation In the
case. The physicians remained at the
home of the patient all night Leaving
there on the following morning they
walked to 125th street, intending to
board a New York Central local train
for the Grand Central station.
"There's a train at S:0S," said Dr.
Cavauagh. consulting his watch; I'VE
can make 1t If we hurry"
"All right" returned DR.. Hughes,
"but must get a cigar to smoke"
"Oh, never mind the cigar" said Cav
anagh. "We haven't the time"
"Tll have that smoke If l miss doz-
en- trains" insisted Hughes.
Cavanagh yielded and entering a
store they purchased some cigars, bur
rying out again to catch the train. As
they neared the station the traln-the
fatal South Norwalk express-came
putting in. The two doctors ran up the
stairs, but just as they reached the
platform the train pulled out
''There, II 1t hadn't been for these
blamed old cigars we'd be on our way
downtown now" said Cavanagh, an
noyed.
Then the two went downstairs and
boarded a Madison avenue car. When
they got down to 42d street three am
balances dashed up in front Of the

gathering there.

at the actual question than at its die

usually very ruddy; it now became a
curious purplish red, even to his eyes
and his bald crown, as if he had been

When youth and lnexperience pits It
self against age and wisdom, 1t gen

Brown. The judge who was presiding
was compelled to throw many of the
cases out of court because they were
improperly brought, at which the law

dignation, he arose and said:
"Your honor, will you please tell me
how it is possible In this court to gel
Justice against a railway companyr
The court quietly Ignored the con
tempt of court shown by the lawyer
and asked:

"Yes, sir" was the defiant reply

The Judge smiled and said:

the farmer to employ a lawyer"
