FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF FRESH AIR Sidelights on the Personality of the Great Queen of Norses, the Angel of the Trenches, Who Enshrined Herself in the Hearts of lien. BY LOUISA A' H MUTT NASH. ON Florence Nlg-httngale's Slat birth day a squad of men from a High land regiment, many of wlioto she had nursed back to health at Scutari, ware Invited by their commanding of floer to vlalt a aculptors studio. While wonderlnr what they should have been brourht there for. the sculptor sudden ly uncovered a bust. Tha men broke rank with ona Impulse, shouttnff. "Miss Kightlna-ale' Miss Nightingale!" With hats off. they surrounded tha model, cheering - the figure of their "Angel of the Trenches" until the roof rang. When the Crimean war was over, which had called Into play her tender aympathiea and her practical abilities, there waa a meeting of officers, naval and military. It was proposed that earn should write on a slip of paper the name that would ba most likely to go down to posterity. On every slip was written "Florence Nightingale!" The verdict of her old friends and patients has coma true. History tells tha sad tale of Ignor ance and carelessness In providing for tha sick and wounded In tbe Crimean .Ka with nAfMltlnna that to retain health was impossible. In ahort. sickness carriea on more uvea xuaoj those aacriflced In battle. The water supply was polluted and cholera rltu. Improvements were visible Immedi ately after the arrival of Miss Nightin gale and her 3S nurses. The old red . - l . w.a MtrAivnmtk " f -H H v " a Scutari letter says, "brings a new combination of misery to- ba unraveled la the Bisters' . town. . She has been j known to stand 20 hours on the arrival of the sick, giving directions for them or aaalatlng at painful operationa." Quickly the sanitary changes wera brought about, and the mortality grad ually diminished until the average death rate was reached. This ultimate ly became lees than among vigorous troops at home. On coming out. she had run the gauntlet of the most strait-laced physi cians in the world who fought the Idea of woman leadership. But Miss Night ingale's sweet and gentle manner per suaded them, while later her indomita ble will power compelled them. She never saved herself. There were six miles of ward walking at night. Little wonder that there was not time for a word for each cot. "No matter," the sick men would say. "the shadow of ber passing by. with her little lamp. Is comfort enough!" And the young soldier would kiss that shadow on tha pillow as she passed. "Before she came here." one of them wrote, "there was such cussln' and swearln', and af ter that It was as holy as a church!" Such was the way they looked upon their "Angel of the Trenchea" e a But how could a young woman, with an education of Greek and "Latin from a father versed in the classics, ba suf ficient for such emergencies? Charac ter building began with Florence Nightingale, at a very early age. Her first patient was a shepherd's dog. Some boys had hit his leg with stones till it was badly bruised and swollen. "It's kill him that I must I" lamented his master, whom he would not allow to touch his leg. The child caressed him, with, "Poor Cspl poor Csp!" and I be trusted her. "It's .fomented it has to be!" said the shepherd. "Foment; what's that?" asked the little girl. Hav ing it explained, she set to work with her wet, hot cloths till the dog's ieg was so much better that he was out of danger of being killed. I have often wondered, was it the nearness of her home to the first all round sanitarium planted in England, where the external skin "was consid ered a kind of replica to the Internal one. and its seen millions of pores first used as safety valves for internal irri tation, that her mind received its first bent? Here, too. she saw patients from the poor who were grateful for. the help of charity. Her heart was early warmed to min istries, as It was early distressed at the troubles of the poor. And she begged her father to let her have some hospital training. He furthered her plans and her studies took her to the nursing sisterhood of Kaiserswerth-on-the-Rhlne. and thn to Stt Vincent de Paul In Paris. She was arranging for a little nurs ing home in London, when through the red vista of war she heard and an swered the old, old call, "Come over and help us!" - In conservative England of the last century It required no little courage to run counter to the old-time customs of aristocracy. To be a professional nurse was an unheard-of thing for a young woman of ber stamp. It waa a revolu tionary step, which became the corner stone of a beautiful progress. "What sect does she belong to?" was asked of an Irish clergyman. To a sect which, unfortunately, is a , very rare one, the sect of the Good Samaritan!" was his reply. Miss Nightingale was certainly an early teacher of the Fresh Air gospel. She nursed many a poor soldier back to life when apparently dying of small pox in the little open green shanties of the Crimea. Fresh sir she never ceased preaching through her long life. . When neace relsmed once mora be tween the belligerent powers, that such an ardent worker should break down was no wonder. After soma months of rest she took up the threads of her beautiful life-work again. A grateful country had presented her with a gift of $230,000. But for herself, she could not accept it, but devoted . It to the founding of a training homo for nurses at St. Thomas and King's Cross hospi tals. A governess'., home-" likewise claimed her help, "the blushing poor," as called in a Spanish proverb. Miss Nightingale was regarded uni versally as tho- authority on military nursing. Her advice was sought by our American doctors of the Civil War and the French and German physicians of 1870. Truly prophetic were these words regarding her mission: "That she would multiply good to all time!" Today the Red Cross Society Is work ing In the steps that she first tracked. Many valuable books have, been penned by her, her "Notes on Nursing" above all. I have never ceased to regret that I Just missed seeing Florence Nighjttngale when visiting some cousins of hers near our village home in Kent She had come down for a day or so, and tired out with her Journey, she was resting in her room. It was where the woods of Keston looked down upon the bouse the oaks, under which Pitt and Wilberforce sat and talked when a compact was made be tween them for the emancipation of the West Indian slaves. Late in life her home was with her sister In Buckinghamshire. Here she de voted herself to the rural population. wbo need so much instruction in matters that pertain to common personal health. In fact, now she had come to a conclu sion that tha art of keeping health aa a sacred treasure is, after all, a .mora val uable one than sick-nursing. - "This new science," she says, "has been created to meet an old want- This is the art of health, which every mother, girl, teacher every woman ought prac tically to learn. She is supposed to know it by Instinct like a bird. So everything comes before health-knowledge. This art has only lately been discovered health-nursing we might call It." a ' In the latest . portrait of Miss Night ingale, one sees the same earnest face, grown much fuller with the years that have Imprinted their character, or. rather, ner character, lines upon the firmly set mouth. Some kind of draper', like a Russian "bashelik" is on her head, loosely knotted under her chin, and a flowing "bernous" over her shoulders. Although too weak for any exertion, sbe retained her powers of mind and her warm heart sympathies all along. Dur ing the time when she received her friends on her bed, she asked a nursing deaconess visiting her, "Have you beeu always happy these 30 years?' "Always" seemed such a long word that she could not say yes or no; so she replied, "If I had to live my life over again, and it were ten times as long,' I would always wish to serve the Lord as a deaconess." Then she said, "Thank God; O, thank God. It is a blessed life when we can live it for others!" In medieval history there was Joan of Arc, who saw her visions, suffered her self to be led by them, and became tha savior of her country- For over half a century Florence Nightingale has been enshrined In the hearts of men and wo men, and possibly by the new order that she brought In. Ehe has been one of the greatest saviors the human race ever had. Opportunity placed her on the pin nacle of a people's love and a world's admiration: she had fitted herself for this opportunity. What she has said of herself is, "All I have done is to work hard!" Aa audible for signal for railroads, tha invention of a retired Dutch naval offtcer. axplodea a cartridge behind a xnegaphono automatically- whenever a train entera a block la which there is another train.
