FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE DEAD

The dispatches yesterday morning
carried the grievous news Of the death
Of Florence Nightingale, the originator
of the modern hospital and nursing
system in time of war. She gave the
first great and effective impulse to
that humanitarian work. She found
the sanitary conditions in the British
army during the Crimean war, some.
thing abominable and shockingly de-
structive of life. The men were "dy-
ing off like fies' when they went to
the hospitals. as was the current saying
at that time. She did wonders in estab-
fishing sanitary conditions in those
hospitals, and in saving the lives of
sick and wounded men by the thou
sands. Her work received world wide
recognition, and substantial support in
the subscription of $250,000 for her use,
from which she established the Night.
ingale Home and the Institution for the
Training of Nurses.
Our own War Of the Rebellion, which
originated seven years after her work
was begun in the Crimea, brought
forth a legion of devotees to and ex.
emplifers in this country of her
work; and from her origins and from
the practical demonstration Of the i'm
measurable benefit of reformation in
hospital work. and from the appica-
tion of that work on a large scale
during our Civil War. have sprung the

A Uniaue Volume.

What is perhaps the most curious
book in the world is possessed by
the Prince de Ligne. This work is
neither printed nor in manuscript,
the text being formed of letters cut
in vellum and pasted on blue paper.
Notwithstanding this extraordinary
method of presenting the text the
book is as easy of perusal as If
printed in the boldest type. All the
characters shown are cut with mar
velous dexterity and precision.
This unique volume bears the
title "The Book of All Passions of
Our Lord Jesus Christ, With Char
acters Not Composed Of Any Ma
terials."
1t is said that Rudolph H., the
Roman emperor, offered no less
than IL 900 ducats for this wonder
full product of the bookmaker's art,
but the offer was refused.
A curious feature of the history
of this book is that while the Eng
lish arms are inscribed on its cover
it is confidently held that the vol
ume has never been in England

Work for Rutland Doctors

The wrestling fever has struck the
youths of Rutland, says the News,
and in almost every vacant lot and
at almost any time of day crowd
of boys may be seen practicing the
giant swing" "the bar Mel son" the
hammer lock, the toe hold" and
other tricks of the game equally
disastrous to the human frame
which is not trained to meet such
violent straining.
When Jim Smith gets hammer
lock on Tom Jones, Smith keeps
locking to show how well he has
learned the trick, and Jones although
his face is twisted with pain, stands
the punishment as long as possible
without giving in just TO show how
much grit he has. AS result some
thing happens.
This has occurred in several in
stances and the victims have had to
go to a doctor. Ono physician has
replaced four dislocations, another
two and others have been consulted
by boys who had an elbow "out OF
Joint" or some bad strain.

A RUSSIAN sEaF.
He Bought His Liberty With Barrel
Of Crimean Oysters.

Of Crinnean Oysters.
One of the principal banking
houses Of st. Petersburg is said to
have been founded by man who
for a great part of his life was d
serf. Even in his condition of serf,
dom he was a wealthy banker and,
as may readily be imagined, made
many attempts to procure his free
dom. The story goes that he Of
fered 100000 rubles for his lib
erty, but that his master, Count
Sheremetieff, proud of possessing
such serf, refused to hberate him.
The liberation was, however,
finally procured and at much low
er price than that mentioned. The
story is pretty one:
This serf, by name Shalounine,
returned one day from Odessa to
st. Petersburg and, as in duty
bound, repaired to the Sheremetieff
palace, there to report himself.
With him he had brought, as gift
to the count, small barrel Of
choice Crimean oysters. This he
left outside till he should receive
an intimation that the offering
would be acceptable to Shere-
metieff.
Now, it 80 CHANGED that he found
his master surrounded by large
number of guests who had been
hidden to breakfast. The count
was engaged in berating his butler
for negligence to provide oysters
for the breakfast. The butler con-
tended that there were no oysters
in the market.
1t was at this juncture that the
count caught sight of his banker
serf.
49," he angrily exclaimed, "you,
too, are to annoy me! And with
your pestering appeal for liberia
tionl Let me tell you that your err
rand will prove a fruitless onel
But stayl I'll release you on one
condition-and one only-that you
get me some oysters for break
fastw
Shalounine bowed low and left
the room. When he returned he
laid the barrel of oysters at his
masters feet.
Whereupon the count, true to
his word, called for pen and paper
and instantly wrote out declara-
ton of emancipation making the
serf free man. Then the former
master, with a most gracious air,
added:
"And now, my dear Shalounine,
will you be SO good as to favor us
with your company at breakfast ?"

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Under Certain Conditions II Sells For
Its Face Value.

ts-Fsse Value.
There is coNcern in New York
that buys counterfeit money at its
face value. Under certain condi-
tions it exchanges good money for
bad. The men in this concern are
professional detectors of counter
feits and make business of keep
ing the banks, express companies,
commercial houses and all other
handlers of money posted about ev-
cry new counterfeit as fast as it APP
pears as well as of all those that
have been discovered in the last
twenty or thirty years.
When a bank teller, the cashier
of business house or any one else
who handles money discovers he has
taken in fraudulent bill he can ex-
change it Immediately for good and
lawful currency if he presents it to
these counterfeit detectors and if
they decide it is new and hitherto
unknown specimen of the dexterity
of the makers of spurious money.
1t has to be an example of this
felonious art that never has been
seen before, however, for if it is
found to be simply representative
of counterfeit that has been dis
covered and catalogued already it is
of no value to these people or to
anybody else. But if its exact coun-
terpart has not appeared previously
the detectors of counterfeits will
hand over good money in exchange
for the bad bill, no matter whether
it is humble one dollar note or
thousand dollar gold certificate.
They do this as an advertisement
for their business.
They are not permitted to retain
possession of their more or less
costly purchase for any length of
time. They may keep it for an hour
or 80 or long enough to study it by
comparison with a perfectly good
bill of the same denomination and
issue. They examine it under mi
croscope and note and list its every
peculiarity. Then they turn it over
to an authorized agent of the Unit
ed States treasury department.
They receive nothing for it from
the government except perhaps a
letter of thanks.
So soon as one of these bad bills
comes to light these detectors of
bogus currency send notices broad
cast to all their subscribers. In this
way every one except the small re-
taller is put on guard. The work
of the identifiers of counterfeits
ends there. simultaneously the task
of the United States secret service
begins. 1t is their problem to trace
the bad bill back to its parent plate
and to arrest every one who is con-
cerned in the fraud.-New York
