HEROINE OF THE cRIMEA.
Miss Florence Nightingale Recently
Celebrated Her 86th Birthday.

Miss Florence Nightingale cele-
brates her seth birthday, and the oc-
casion finds the heroine of the Crimea
living her life of placid retirement in
the house near Parklane which has
been her London home for upwards
of forty years, and which she has not
left for close upon eleven years.
Though living the life Of recluse,
Miss Nightingale is not entirely a
helpless invalid. Occasionally she
leaves her couch, but for the most
part prefers to receive her friends
while reclining.
The sweet, tender face which drew
forth the admiration Of the country
side when Florence Nightingale was
the "squire's daughter" Of Lea Hurst.
Is still beautiful in old age. It's soft,
rounded placidity bears no trace of
the hardships and toll she endured in
the great Barrack hospital at Sou
tart, or the heights of Balaclava. The
indomitable spirit still CLEANS
through the failing eyes, while the
hands which soothed and tended
countless soldiers under the surgeons
knife still retain their beautiful shape.
II could bear the pain because she
stood by me; her nerve gave me
courage" is the testimony Of Crl-
mean veterans today when they fight
their battles DER again and recall the
gentle ministrations of the lady-in-
chief.
Though memory fails a little, Miss
Nightingale's mind is for her great
age, keen and alert, and occasionally
she surprises her friends with flash
of the old caustic wit. She enjoys
a good story. and can tell one. Moth
ing pleases her more than a talk over
nursing matters with old friends and
she eagerly follows the developments
taking place in the profession which
she created, and of which she re-
mains the bright, particular star.
1t was some time before Miss Night
ingale could quite fall in with the
designation Of profession" as applied
to nursing. To her mind it was a
ministration rather than a 'profes-
sion," and the fear of vulgarizing II
| by too great consideration of personal
gain made her antagonistic to the ul-
ira professional attitude. I'VE hear
great deal nowadays" said Miss
| Nightingale, on a recent occasion
about nursing as a profession. but
the question for each nurse is, Am
living up to my profession?'
Today her room will be bright with
birthday floral offerings, for heI
| friends know that nothing affords
her greater pleasure than the sight
| of flowers.-London Tribune.

bird, the duel was actually fought
from the trees, the seconds standing
on the ground below. The pistols
were fired at the signal. There was a
rustling among the leaves of one Of
the chestnut trees. 1t was Pierrot
d'Isaac, who, wounded severely in one
leg, came tumbling to the ground. At
this point the marquis began to chirp
triumphantly, initiating the song Of a
blackbird. This was fresh insult, to
be atoned for in only one way, and
d'Isaac waited for his wound to recov-
er to challenge Sainte- Marie for the
chirp. This time the duel was fought
with swords, and Sainte Marie was
badly wounded. The sparrow had
avenged himself on the blackbird.

Next you are informed that the
Kaimakam, out of the solicitude for
your safety, has sent ten soldiers to
guard your tents. This guard Is quite
unnecessary, but it Is provided in or
der that you may have to pay the
soldiers, who are expected to be pro-
vided with cigarettes and coffee, and
anything that may happen to be go
ing in the way of food. AS these poor
creatures seldom get any pay or any
them a few simple little treats If one
has spare stores; but you would have
preferred, say, only one sentry in
stead of ten, as then you would not
be kept awake at night as they sit
around a campfire discussing you and
your coffee.
The arrival Of a messenger hotfooted
from the castle to say that two OF
the officers are suddenly and danger
ously i'll, and could you spare a bot
tie of brandy. need cause no alarm
but the request had better be COM
piled with, If possible.
While your dragoman is conducting
the more serious negotiations with
the kaimakam and the sheikh, you
have plenty Of time to "do" Akabah.
Your guidebook tells you that in Sol
omon's time this was Elath, through
whose port poured vast stores of mer-
chandise and treasure; that later on
in the days of the Crusades, this was
so important a citadel that Saladin
thought 1t worth while to transport
boats across the desert from the Med
iterranean for its capture. Nothing
now remains to suggest the busy
traffic or the commanding importance
Of the past.
1t has all gone-gone as completely
as Solomon's glories and Saladin's
boats. Still, you may wander pleas
antly among the palm trees If the
persistent wind is not blowing cloud
Of sand and dust; you may notice the
curious fresh water wells on the sea-
shore almost within wash Of the
waves, and you imagine what this
shore, with no quay and with scarce
boat, must once have been. No
doubt If the railway comes thither
the place will regain some of its lost
life and energy, but the traveller OF
the past will remember its silent sun
baked network of novels as a spiders
web stretched glistening across his
path in the glaring desert, in which
for a time was the fly.

A GAME Of BRIDGE.-They were
playing a game of bridge whist the
young man, the girl and the fatiIet
and mother. The young man liked
the girl. He would kick her foot
gently now and then. The game-or
rather, the two games-progressed
nicely for a while. Then the young
man decided it was time to deliver
another love kick. 1t was a little
more vigorous than usual. A look of
pain passed over the fathers face.
"Ouch!" came from the girls faith
er. Who kicked my corn?"
II guess / did," stammered the
young man with a sickly smile. II
was trying to get Nellie to play
spades"
The old gentleman leaned over and
rubbed his foot.
"Spades!" he growled. You were
trying to get her to play hearts"

WHERE SHE HAD SEEN HIM.-Dr.
Hook, a celebrated Yorkshire vicar
afterward dean of Chichester, was not
a handsome man. An old acquaint-
ance says of him:
THE boy, Walter Farquhar Hook
might almost have been described as
one of those on whom nature is said
to have tried her prentice hand" He
was very fond of commenting on his
own ugliness and repeated with great
amusement some of the left handed
compliments" he had received.
On one occasion the good vicar saw
a little girl looking attentively into
his face.
well, my dear" said he, II don't
think you have seen me before"
"Oh. yes, l have!"
"Where?"
II saw you the other day climbing
up a pole and I gave you bum

AN UNEXPECTED QUESTION. -Apro-
pos Of the discussions now on as to
whether hell is a place Of fire and
birthstone, a state of mind or merely
an idea, the following anecdote, for
which strict originality is not claimed,
was told by layman:
"A negro parson in Macon was ad-
dressing his congregation on the birth
of man. In an eloquent and exegeti-
cal voice he said:
"'And de Lawd, He made Adam
out NV wet mud and sot him up
against a flahplace to dry
"A brother among the congregation
arose and interrupted:
"'You just said dis was the fu'st
thing de Lawd made. Now, who
made dat fiahplace?"
THE parson hesitated a minute
and then cleared his voice:
"'Sit down. you fool niger he
said: 'sich questions as dem will up
set any cistern of theology"

MooRs CONSIDER Us DIRTY.-A habit
of our own which we consider far
more cleanly than eating with our fin
gers is looked upon by the Moors as
flthy-that is, washing our hands or
face i'm a basin. and still more, taking
a bath where the water is not running.
The cleaner we become, they say, the
dirtier the water we are washing with
must necessarily become. and event
ually we step forth as cleansed from
water which is no longer clean. A
Moore to wash his hands has the wa
ter poured from a vessel over them
and never by any chance dips them
into the dirty water The same way
i'm their baths. The water is thrown
over their bodies out of bright brass
bowls and flows away through holes
i'm the marble or tile fioor.-Modern
Society.
