WoMAN's WORK AMONG THE SICK
sHLitle things mean a great deal in the
sick room. will you have an orange or
flop said DR.. James jackson TO ii fine
little boy now grown up to a goodly
stature, and whom l may be fortunate
enough to recognize among my audience
of to-day. "A fig answered Master
Theodore, with alacrity. No fever there =
said the good doctor, 'or he would certainly
have said an orange
Now, it is Just these unlmportant, all
important matters that good nurse is OF
incalculable aid to the physician. And
the growing conviction of the Importance
of thorough training of young women as
nurses is one of the most hopeful signs OF
medical advancement. So much has been
done and is doing that the days of the
Sairv Camps and Betsy Priggs are num-
be,ed. What is there in the hour OF
anguish like the gentle presence, the quiet
voice, the thoroughly trained and skllliul
hand of the woman who was meant by
nature and has been taught by careful
dIscipine to render those services which
money tries to reward, but only gratitude
can repay? | have always felt that TINS
was rather the vocation OF women than
general medical, and especially surgical,
practice.
/ have often wished that disease could
be hunted by its professional antagonists
in couples-l doctor and a doctors quick
witted wife making a joint visit and
attacking the patient-I mean the patients
malady, of course-with their united
capacities. For am quite sure that there
is a natural clairvoyauce in woman
which would make her as much the
superior of man in some particulars ol
diagnosis as she certainly is in distinguish
ing shades of color. Many a suicide
would have been prevented if the doctors
wife had visited the victim the day before
it happened. She would have seen in the
merchants face his impending bankruptcy
while her stupid husband was prescribing
for dyspepsia and indorsing his note; she
would recognize the lovelorn maiden by
an i'll adjusted rbbon-a line in the
features-a droop in the attitude, tone
in the voice-which means nothing tc
him. and so the brook must be dragged
to. morrow. -OtiUer Wende1 Holmes.

A CHEERFUL SPIRrr.--The man oil
woman who always reveals cheerful
spirit, will succeed in lite. The pleasant
face will carry its possessor safely through
life in spite of every opposing power.
Smiles will banish the darkness that
gathers about every life path, and the
sunlight will fall upon lile's pathway
wherever a cheerful spirit exists. The
sunbeams will melt the iceberg and dispel
the dal kest night that ever brooded over
the world, and so n sunny spirit will
scatter the coldness and dakness of hui
manitv, and bring brightness and blessing
to those about it.
If there is anything repulsive about a
human being, it is a fretiul spirit and q
sorrowful face. If there is anything
utterly repelIing and disgusting, it is the
sour visaged one who cannot smile OF
wear cheerful look, but who continually
broods over his misfortune, and so keeps
on the shadowy side of everything.
Gods sunshine OF Heaven is to the poison.

slimy rock, or dense shrubbery. His
dwarfed and selfish is as nearly like the
netteweed as it can be, or like anything
else tnit grows III 3ioolh ''h" ut'i nhooo'
A cheerful spirit is one OF the most
valuable gifts ever bestowed upon human
ity by kind Creator. 1t is the sweetest
and most fragrant flower of the Spirit
that constantly sends out lis beauty and
| fragrance, and blesses everything within
its reach. 1t will sustain the soul in the
darkest and most dreary places of this
world. 1t will hold in check the demons
of despair, and stifle the power of discour
aoemcnt and hopelessness. 1t is the
brightest star that ever cast its radiance
over the darkened soul. and one tina
seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fan
cies and foreboding imaginations.
Cultivate then, cheerful spirit, ant
cherish it as something sacred. Obey the
command, "Rejoice ever more," and 1T
light and blessedness will ever fall upor
thy pathway .-EG.

Discussing the value of fresh air and
sunshine to continued health, the London
Standard very properly says, at is known
to every person pretending to education
that an animal or plant deprived for many
hours of all access to fresh air would
perish by a kind of suffocation. But it is
much less generally known that neither
animal nor plant can flourish or enjoy
health in darkness. Certain blanched
flowers and vegetables are obtained by
the m very process of rearing them in a
darkened cellar, but their whiteness is
itself disease, and indicates the destruc,
tive effect produced by lack of the vital
element of light. Bright, clear, mi
sunshine for many hours daily is essential
to real health"
