# The Nursing Sister

Part of this poem appeared as a chapter heading in The Naulahka (1892); the complete poem was published in Songs from Books (1912).
(Maternity Hospital)
Our sister sayeth such and such, And we must bow to her behests. Our sister toileth overmuch, Our little maid that hath no breasts.
A field untilled, a web unwove, A flower withheld from sun or bee, An alien in the Courts of Love, And — teacher unto such as we!
We love her, but we laugh the while, We laugh, but sobs are mixed with laughter; Our sister hath no time to smile, She knows not what must follow after.
Wind of the South, arise and blow, From beds of spice thy locks shake free; Breathe on her heart that she may know, Breathe on her eyes that she may see!
Alas! we vex her with our mirth, And maze her with most tender scorn, Who stands beside the Gates of Birth, Herself a child — a child unborn!
Our sister sayeth such and such, And we must bow to her behests. Our sister toileth overmuch, Our little maid that hath no breasts.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Nomada

See also Nomada on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOMA′DA (Neo-Lat., from Gk. νομάς, nomas, roaming). A genus of bees typical of the family Nomadidæ, including species which live parasitically in the nests of other bees and are called ‘cuckoo-bees.’ Often there is enough food both for the larvæ of the cell-maker and the larvæ of the cuckoo-bee, and both thrive and issue simultaneously as adults. The larva is smooth, tapering toward each end, and has a small head. The pupa has three conspicuous spines on the upper and posterior edge of the orbit, which seem to aid in locomotion. See Cuckoo-Bee.

Edition of 1905. See also Ninon de l'Enclos on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NINON DE L'ENCLOS, nḗ'nṓN de läN'klṓ', or Lenclos (1616-1706). A Parisian courtesan, remarkable for beauty, grace, and intellectual culture, as well as for keen wit. Her career began at sixteen. Among her many lovers were successively the Count de Châtillon, the Marquis de Villarceaux, the Marquis de Sévigné, the Marquis de Gersay, Marshal Condé, the Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Marshal d'Albret, Marshal d'Estrées, Abbé d'Effiat, Gourville, and La Châtre. She counted among her friends Queen Christina of Sweden, Madame Scarron (afterwards Madame de Maintenon), and Madame de La Fayette. Her salon seemed for a time a rival of the Hôtel de Rambouillet. Molière and Scarron are said to have taken literary counsel with her. Her beauty lasted into old age. Consult: Douxmesnil, Mémoires (Rotterdam, 1752); and the Works of Saint-Evremond (Amsterdam, 1706), but especially the contemporary ‘portrait’ in Mlle. de Scudéry's Clélie (Paris, 1556-60), where she figures as ‘Clarisse.’

Edition of 1905. See also John Willock Noble on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NOBLE, John Willock (1831—). An American lawyer and Cabinet officer, born at Lancaster, Ohio. After a year at Miami University, he entered Yale, where he graduated in 1851. He then studied law at Columbus and Cincinnati, removed to Saint Louis in 1855, and a year later settled in the practice of his profession at Keokuk, Iowa. There he took a prominent part in politics, and in 1859-60 was city attorney. In 1861 he enlisted in the Third Iowa Volunteer Cavalry as a private, gradually rose to the rank of colonel, and was brevetted brigadier-general at the close of the war. Settling again at Saint Louis after the war, he was United States District Attorney for the eastern district of Missouri from 1867 to 1870. He was Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Harrison from 1889 to 1893, after which he resumed his law practice in Saint Louis.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Nomad

See also Nomad on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOM′AD (from Lat. nomas, from Gk. νομάς, roaming, from νέμειν, nemein, to pasture, distribute). A term primarily applied to those peoples whose resources were chiefly flocks and herds. All the industries and conveniences of nomadic life grow out of this one fact. Grass and water are the chief essentials, hence nomads dwell always in regions where pasture is the best and water is not far to seek. Their habitations must admit of being transported from place to place, and hence consist of tents; their furniture is largely of skins; they clothe themselves in hides and woolen cloth. The saddle and harness, sleds and wagons, roads and land commerce, all spring out of the taming of horses, asses, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and reindeer—the characteristic wealth of nomadic peoples.

NINDEMANN, nĭn'de-mȧn, Wilhelm Friedrich Carl (1850—). A German-American Arctic explorer, born at Gingst, island of Rügen. When seventeen, he came to the United States. He joined the Polaris expedition, and in 1872, when the vessel was caught in the ice, with eighteen of the crew he was carried on an ice field for nearly seven months. He was rescued off Labrador by the Tigress; volunteered on that vessel and afterwards on the Jeannette in the search for the Polaris; and after the loss of the Jeannette was sent south for help by De Long, in the quest for whom he later joined. Nindemann wrote in German a description of his Arctic voyages (1885).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Ninigret

Edition of 1905. See also Ninigret on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NINIGRET (c.1610-c.1677). A sachem of an Algonquian tribe of Indians, the Niantics. He assisted the English colonists in the Pequot war of 1637, but soon afterwards began to scheme for their expulsion or extermination. A visit to the Dutch on Manhattan Island in 1652-53 caused him to be suspected of plotting against the United Colonies, whose commissioners, in April, 1653, declared war against him, but were unable to prosecute it, owing to the opposition of Massachusetts. Ninigret, however, soon attacked the Long Island Indians, allies of the English, and the commissioners, after summoning him in vain to Hartford, sent Major Sanuiel Willard against him with a force of 310 men. Ninigret took refuge in a swamp, but subsequently (1662), in conjunction with several other chiefs, sold a large part of his territory to the colonists. Several of his successors from whom land titles were secured by Rhode Island were also called Ninigret.

NIÑO, nē'nyṓ, Pedro Alonso (c.1455-c.1505). A Spanish navigator, born at Moguer. He had sailed to the west coast of Africa several times in Portuguese vessels before 1492, when he became pilot of one of Columbus's three ships. In June, 1496, Niño sailed to Santo Domingo with supplies, and on his return nearly ruined the fortunes of Columbus by his braggadocio and his tardiness in reporting at court. After sailing on Columbus's third voyage, he planned with Cristóbal de la Guerra, a Spanish merchant, the first successful commercial voyage to the New World (1499). Niño died soon after his return, after having been accused of cheating the Crown of a part of its share in the profits of the voyage.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Niobe

Edition of 1905. See also Niobe on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NIOBE, nī'ṓ-bḗ (Lat., from Gk. Νιόβη). In Greek legend, the daughter of Tantalus, King of Lydia, and (according to the most popular version) the sister of Pelops. She was the wife of Amphion, King of Thebes, and bore him many children, the numbers varying usually between twelve and twenty. In her pride she boasted her superiority to Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis. The angry goddess moved her children to avenge the insult, and Apollo with his arrows slew the sons, while Artemis killed the daughters in the palace. Niobe in her grief prayed the gods, who in pity transformed her into a stone image on Mount Sipylus in Lydia. The story appears in the epic, and was retold by tragedians, poets, and chroniclers with many divergencies in detail. The fullest version which has survived is by Ovid (Metam., vi. 146 sqq.). Representations of the story on vases and reliefs are not numerous, but it is the subject of one of the most famous groups of ancient statues.

# The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz (book)/Volume Three/Preface

PREFACE
In 1904, when Mr. Schurz was nearing the end of the second volume, and was hoping to finish the first draft of the third volume in a year or two, he consented to the serial publication of parts of what he had written. The selection, special alteration and proof-reading of these rapidly appearing parts, and also the preparation of the first volume for the press—these and many incidental matters claimed the right of way and much impeded his progress with the third volume. When his work was abruptly terminated he had reached only the first problems of Grant's administration and had barely passed the threshold of his important services in the Senate. His manuscript is printed as he left it. Had he lived to complete his third volume, in which he hoped to reach at least the end of Hayes' administration, it would doubtless have been revised and condensed.
It was a serious question to decide how to fill out the third volume and how to treat the remainder of Mr. Schurz's career. Various projects were carefully considered. All except the one that has been followed, were found to be impracticable because they either did not suit present requirements or would interfere with probable later publications that ought to be kept distinct from the Reminiscences. Fortunately Mr. Schurz had preserved a practically complete set of his speeches and important public writings during all the later period, which are comprehensive, interesting and valuable, historically. He had also preserved a correspondence of many thousands of letters on matters of public interest. It was accordingly decided that it would be most in harmony with the Reminiscences and most welcome to the readers who have followed Mr. Schurz's narrative, if this vast material should be carefully examined with a view to making a summary sketch of the leading features of his political career after 1869.
​Mr. Frederic Bancroft, for many years a valued friend of Mr. Schurz, seemed peculiarly fitted for this task and could happily be prevailed upon to undertake it. He was so fortunate as to be able to associate with himself Professor William A. Dunning of Columbia University, an authority on that period of history. The results of their collaboration are presented in a later part of this volume.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Kingfisher

See also Kingfisher on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
* Spotted Kingfisher
* Belted Kingfisher
King′fisher, a well-known fishing-bird of world-wide distribution. It is more common in the Old World than in the New. Of the 180 known kinds, only eight are inhabitants of the New World and only one is found in the Eastern United States. This bird — the common belted kingfisher — is widely distributed, but is a familiar bird only where fishing is to be had. There it is a common summer resident, comes early, as soon as the ice has broken up, and stays late, sometimes all winter. It is a beautiful bird, but less brilliant than other members of the group. The upper parts are bluish-gray and the under parts whitish, with a bluish-gray belt on the breast, the bird being considerably larger than the robin. The head is cresced, the bill long and dagger-like. It is a rapid flyer, but is sometimes seen perched on a post or dead tree near ponds and quiet rivers. It catches fish with dexterity in its strong bill. The kingfishers make nests in holes in the banks, and return year after year to the same place. There are numerous species of these birds, especially in the East Indies. The true kingfishers are closely related to the halcyons or wood kingfishers, famous in classical literature. There was an old fable to the effect that their nests floated on the water, and they were supposed to breed during the halcyon days — a period of 14 days — seven days preceding and seven days following the shortest day of the year. During these days, according to the old superstition, calm weather prevailed on the seas. See Blanchan: Bird Neighbors.

# The New Student's Reference Work/King Lear

See also King Lear on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
King Lear, a tragedy, was written by Shakespeare probably between 1603 and 1606. It is based on an ancient legend which had come down, probably, from the ancient Britons, and was told by Geoffrey of Monmouth about 1150 and oy Layamon about 1200. Edmund Spenser, also, had touched on the story, and it had even been dramatized. But it is greatly transformed by Shakespeare’s hand. The story is that of an old king, who, as he gets feeble, turns to his children for affection. But, because he has all his life been used to rule and to get things more by fear than for love, he demands this affection from his daughters and lets them know that whoever expresses her love most strongly will secure the best reward. He accepts as true the violent expressions of love that his two elder daughters offer; while he is enraged beyond measure by the constrained silence of his youngest child, Cordelia. He therefore divides his kingdom between the former, and proposes to live with them in turn; while Cordelia he turns away penniless. But the king of France, who was present, sees Cordelia’s goodness and weds her. Then the elder daughters tire of the king who has no more to give, and, as his protests become troublesome, turn him out of doors into the storm. The French king then comes with Cordelia and an army to right King Lear. They find him broken in mind and body; but under the love of Cordelia he regains something of his reason. But the English defeat the French king, and capture Lear and Cordelia. The order is given that both be slain. But at this point one sister poisons the other, because both have fallen in love with the same man. This crime is discovered, and at the same time the intention of killing Lear and Cordelia is revealed. The order for their death is countermanded, but Cordelia has been slain; and the old king dies brokenhearted, his dead child in his arms.

King’s Mountain, a range in North Carolina, some 16 miles in length, the southern extremity of which is in York County, South Carolina. Near this southern extremity British soldiers under Lieutenant-Colonel Ferguson were attacked by American militia under the command of Colonel Benjamin Cleaveland on Oct. 7, 1780, and after a desperate resistance were nearly all taken prisoners. This victory contributed in no small measure to the final success of the Revolutionary army.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Khiva

See also Khiva on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Khiva (kē' va), a khanate of Turkestan in central Asia, now a Russian vassal state. It contains about 22,320 square miles, the surface being mostly a sandy desert, with many fertile tracts scattered over it. The population, half of which is Turcoman, is estimated at 800,000. Ever since the Russians entered central Asia there has been more or less strife and hostility between them and the Khivans. The khan has no power to make treaties with foreign powers without the sanction of Russia. The chief town is Khiva (population about 5,000). The products are chiefly silk and cotton. See works by Burnaby and Landsell.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Kickapoo Indians

See also Kickapoo on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Kickapoo Indians, a tribe of the Algonquin family, found by French missionaries, toward the close of the 17th century, on Wisconsin River. They took an active part against the settlers during Pontiac's war in 1765. By the treaty of Greenville, on Aug. 3, 1795, they ceded a part of their lands, and a few years afterward made further cessions. Against the warning of General Harrison they joined Tecumseh in 1811, and fought in the battle of Tippecanoe. They are now settled in northeastern Kansas and in Oklahoma.
