Florence Nightingale

There was universal mOurnilg all
over the civilized world Saturday
whcn the news WIS flashe | over the
seas that Florence Nightingale, the
heroina Of the Crimean War, was
dead. She died at the age of ninety
after a long life spent in the inter-
ests of suferiny huT anity. and the
world stands with bowed head before
the passing Of so great a soul.
Florence Nightingale began her
ministrations for mankind in 1854,
when she left an English home of
LUXURY for the hardships of the
Crimean War and succeeded in re-
ducing the death rate Of the English
soldiers from ~ to 2 per cel.t. 1t
was through her great work in that
war that the present day reforms in
hospital nursing and management
were originated, and the debt that
humanity owes to this wonderful
woman is one that can never be paid.
Her memory is one that will endure
through all ages.

most of his time he spent completely
secluded in a tiny room at the top
Of the house. All his meals were con-
veyed to him through a hole in the
wall, closed by door on either side.
He refused to see any one, even his
own attendant, who never would open
the hatchway to shove in the food
unless the door was closed on the
other side of the wall.
The house is fascinating old struc.

It's interior abounds with rare oak pan

its upt-o-date conveniences, Pitt house

The Englishman carries gold. sill

mixture in an opulent way and selects
the coin he needs.
The American carries his 'wad' or
roll in pretty much the same way,
the average man here looking with
contempt upon the pocketbook as in
dicative of a tight disposition.
The Frenchman makes use of q
leather purse with no distinguishing
characteristics. The German uses
one gayly embroidered i'm silks by the
fair hands of some Matchen.
The half-civilized capitalists from
some torrid South American city car
ries his dollars in a belt with cunning
~ devised pockets to battle the gentle
men with light fingers. Some of these
belts are quite expensive.

ties up his little fortune in a gayly-
colored handkerchief secured with

manner about his clothes
