600 nurses between now ano
Tune l tor service in military
hospitals at home and abroad
has been made upon the Red
Cross by Surgeon General
GorKas of the army. Nearl,
| ? 600 nurses already have
been supplied by the Red
Cross, but the need for more
grows imperative daily. OF
the eighty or ninety thousand
tregisteseA>nurses in the Unit
ed States General Gorgas es
Inmates that approximately
10000 will be needed for serv
ice in army hospitals during
this year.
Miss Jane A Delano, Red
Cross director of nursing, to
day issued an appeal to the
country S nurses to volunteer.
She pointed out that such
nurses would be eligible to
participate in the army and
navy insurance at nominal
rates. AS yet the Red Cross
has tailed to accept Colored
nurses, although the race thru
out the country has contribut
ed literally to 1t. Whether
or not the Red Cross will now
| accept Colored nurses, in view
of the urgent demand for
them, and thereby reverse its
policy respecting Colored nurs
es, rema MS to be seen.

f4APPIEsT PERIOD OF LIFE
Generation That Really Knows What
GIadness 10 Has Not Been Born.
Asserts Church Paper.

Some sage has arisen to remark
that human life up to about fifty years
ago was not worth livfng-tha only
the inventions and institutions of the
last half century have made life bear
able.
Unfortunately, there is no way accu-
rately to gauge the degree of happi-
ness Of any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can know for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is the
best that is attainable to us, and lucky
is he who gets his share of it.
Happiness. like health, is known to
us chiefly through it's opposite. Health
is known through disease and pain,
and happiness through disappoint-
ment and misery.
The masses of mankind, until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes of centuries are finding ut
terance in the free speech of our day.
The wall may cause the unthinking
to suppose that the sun of human
happiness is suddenly obscured. But,
to the contrary, the remedies follow
iRg the better understanding Of wrong
conditions steadily improve the con-
ditions under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear of wrongs, the fewer wrongs we
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about it
until doomsday, and no doubt they
will: but the age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe is the
one that has been longest dead, and
the generation that really knows what
happiness is and can realize it's full
possession is a long time yet unborn.

occurred in the Grand Canyon of the

Mohammedans in Egypt are 'listen-

increasing, and one Sunday four Mo-

Trees and Lightning.

There is a strange superstition rel
alive to the liability of certain trees
being struck by lightning. All kinds of
ideas have been advanced along these
lines. The ancient Romans believed
that the mulberry, laurel. peach, larch
and box trees were lightning proof.
Not a few foresters of modern times
are of the opinion that certain trees are
more or less liable to destruction by
lightning.

First Soldiers Home.

The Soldiers home at Washington,
e~frst institution Of the kind in the

A tract of land for the purpose, 200
acres in extent, was purchased with a
sum of money levied by Gen. Winfield
Scott on the~City of Mexico during the
war with that country. There are now
several branches Of the national home,
and state homes in twenty seven states.
