Miss Florence Nightingale.

There has always been curious
prejudice against women as pioneers
in any walk Of life, and even Miss
Florence Nightingale, "the mother of
trained nurses" whose death is la
mented by all nations, suffered from
1t. When she returned to England
after the Crimean war and turned her
attention to founding schools for
nurses, society was against her Lady
Palmerston pronounced the Nightin-
gale Fund as great humbug." 1.-THE
nurses in hospitals" she said, "are
very good now Poor people! It
must be so tiresome sitting up all
night; and, if they do drink little
too much, they can be turned out and
others got" But Miss Nightingale
prevailed against prejudice, for which
the country has cause to feel grateful
full.

servIan KINGS Athletic paxs.

The king of Servia has occupied his
throne now rather more than seven
years, and no one will need to be re-
minded that he came to be king
through the assassination Of his
predecessor. When his majesty was
one of the kings of exile in Paris he
lived in fiat on the third floor in
the Rue Jouffroy, for which he paid
the very modest rent Of $3.50 per an
mum. He was in those days a great
athlete and boxer, as two footpads
discovered when they waylaid him on
his way home and demanded his
money or his life. They got neither.
