brought sanitary systems into the
hospitals. She brought to these
camp hospitals trained intelli-
gence, untiring zeal, and a warm
sympathy for all forms of suffering.
Her name became an inspiration to
the sick and wounded soldiers; they
adored her, and the military author
tiles, recognizing the great value of
her services, put one hospital after
another under her charge, and her
great work in the Crimea among the
sick and wounded made her name a
synonym for all that is good and
great in womanhood. With no hope
or thought of it's return, she spent
her fortune in carrying out her
plans for the good of the soldiers in
the Crimea, but the English people
raised large sum of money by popu-
lar subscription and settled it upon
her.
No name among women repre-
sents more of all that is most admir-
able than that of Florence Nightin-
gale.
The radley Verdict.
Well, Mrs. Bradley is free, and
while we have not taken a very
strong interest in the case, we think
that the verdict is such as a chival-
rous male jury would be apt to rem
der. The eloquent argument of
Judge Powers presented her side of
the case very forcibly. One cannot
wonder that such woman would
kill such man under such provoca-
tion as Mrs. Bradley had. She was,
of course. totally wrong in the be-
ginning for listening at all to the
temptings of married man, or even
if he were single, but she has some
excuse in the longings of starved
heart and intellect. She loved him
and forgot the fact that the man who
is untrue to his wife is rarely true
TO any other woman.
Senator Brown took base advan-
tage of this woman's weakness and
love, and in deserving her and the
children sne bore him he deserved
the fate he met. She had become an
outcast-not for gain. but for his
love, and had he had one sentiment
OF honor he would have been faith
full to her-don't you think SO? A
bad man dead-a weak woman alive
who will die daily from remorse for
having killed the man she loved.

refused had the cigarette habit. We
often see boys on our streets who
are hardly out of dresses putting
away at these miserable health-de-
lstroyers, and we see in them the
dwarfs and paupers of the next gen
Ieration.
Men fell by drink, by greed, by
gold,
BY nameless sins and shameful
woes,
But like some mighty fortress bold
A lad defied these ancient foes.
Then came old Satan with his key,
His face wreathed with rIend-
ish grin;
He found door and opened it,
And let a thousand devils in.
"They robbed that boy of mind and
health.
And left his heart as black as jet;
The devil conquers boys by stealth,
His weapon is the cigarette"
Some Slips oil the Tongue.
Women sometimes make bad
breaks in conversation. Not long
since, at White House reception,
there was distinguished young Of
ficer who had lately returned from
duty in Cuba. With him was his
very young and attractive wife, to
whom the President was especially
attentive, asking her many questions
about her stay in Cuba She was
very enthusiastic over the scenery,
and said, oh, Mr.. President, were
ten, or never knew, that it was Cuba
that made him famous. That was
about like asking Napoleon If he had
ever heard of Austerlitz. But the
most of us have said things that we
would gladly have bitten our tongue
rather than said-remembrance came
too late. Any of us may make an
occasional break, but some people
have a natural faculty for saying
the wrong thing at the wrong time,
in the wrong place and to the wrong
person. The worst of it is that real
ly well-meaning people often have
this habit of stumbling in their
speech and suffer agonies when they
realize that they have hurt other
peoples feelings.
But there is one woman in the
world who never stumbled in speech
and action, and that is Florence
Nightingale, whom the King of Eng
land decorated few days ago with
the "Order of Merit" This lady is
now "a years old, and her long life
has been filled with the womanly
work of alternating human suffer-
ing. Among our earliest memories
is the hearing of and reading about
her work in the Crimean war. The
hospitals of the allied armies were
at that time in a dreadful condition.
Only a few of the strongest men liv-
ed after being taken to them. Miss
Nightingale was then young wo-
man of wealth. She took lessons in
and then offered her SER
vices as an army nurse. She had a
good deal of difficulty in getting per-
mission to take charge of a hospit-
al. but she persisted, and many
thousands of the soldiers owed their
lives to her. She trained other wo-
men to help her, and she first

The Closing Exercises of tn,

The closing exercises Of the Brandon
Graded School at johnson Hall, on
the 23rd and oath ult., brought the
nine months session to its end, and
the teachers and pupils are now en-
joying well-earned vacation. On
the evening Of the 23rd delightful
entertainment was given by the chill
dren in the grades taught by Misses
Dunbar and Ernest. The exercises
on that occasion consisted Of marches
and counter marches, tableaux, songs,
recitations, and piano music rendered
by Misses Mary White and Mary
Walker. The program was divided
into three parts: 1.-The Flowers
2. Mother Goose and Her Family
3.-Ten Little Darkeys. There was
no flaw in any one Of these pretty and
lively scenes ;but, with two exceptions,
it is best to avoid mentioning the
names Of the little actors, all Of whom
were heartily applauded by the we'll
pleased audience. Miss Beatrice
Maxey, who appeared as Mother
Goose and Miss Harriet Shields,
who unprecedented 1.-THE Queen Of

less manner in which the same is
conducted. Mr.. Naff promised to see
to it personally from now on that the

take the matter up with the railroad
company and get them to pay for the
service if possible. Mr.. Naff requests

Surgery for AiIing Trees.

One of the curiosities of modern
forestry is the care of beautiful old
shade trees. The amputation Of dis
eased or dead limbs is as carefully per
formed to prevent further decay from
the elements as in surgical operations
on human beings. Decaying cavities
are cleaned and filled with ,, preserv-
ing cement. as is done by the modern
dentist. And the latest advance is to
build a tin roof along the upper sur
fee of wfdespreading branches where
little h0l!ows might hold dampness and
promote decay. Some handsome pa
triarchs well deserve it.-Boston Her.
