Trained Nurses,

The service of trained nurses has now
grown into an essential part of the more
scientific and careful medical practice in
serious cases. The nurses are in constant
demand especially those who have gained
little standing. Their salary is 800 a
week, with board. Hence the occupa-
ton furnishes an opportunity for any
woman of the proper qualifications to
earn a good living.
The successful nurse, however, must
combine a number of excellent traits. She
must be well and strong, intelligent, of
good judgment, expert in fixing things, "
agreeable in sick room, reliable and
conscientious. Her work is often severely
trying to the nerves and temper and to
her powers of resource.
The classes at the Bellevue school turn
out about twenty nurses each year. Then
there are several other schools, from all
of which the graduates amount to about
100. This is, of course, apart from the
religious nurses in the Catholic system.
The nuns who devote themselves to the
sick make admirable nurses, and are often
sought for by invalids of all faiths and of
no faith at all. There are no sects in
sickness.
Said physician to a New York Sun
reporter: "The modern professional
nurse has had an important effect on the
practice of medicine Often we are justi-
fed in treatment where nurse in en-
ployed that is impracticable otherwise.
The nurse is able to carry out orders
which must be intelligently obeyed or the
result will be tragic. Hence in many
cases the treatment will depend on the
presence of competent professional
nurse. The ordinary conduct of case,
such as stated hypodermic injections,
taking the pulse, temperature, respira-
ton, etc, may be intrusted to her, and
her scheduled reports furnish us with
reliable history.
"The good nurse leads hard life. 1t
isn't half as romantic as 1t reads in story
books or looks on the stage. But in
hundreds of homes all over town this
night, she is giving comfort and saving
life. She earns her salary about as
honestly as any one in the community"

Domestlcation of the Buffalo.

Regarding, then, the buffalo as an
animal well worthy conserving, what arc
his good and bad pointsl First Of all,
he is hardy not liable to disease, and on
the plains of the American and Canadian
Northwest he can forage in deep snow
and live in the open air all winter long.
His meat brings nearly as good a price as
beef. His robe is worth S25 TO $40; and
his head taxidermized, thanks TO the
decorative tastes of sportsmen, fetchcs
as much as the robe, or even more. SO
much for the credit side Of the account;
now for the debit. The buffalo is a
strong brute, and Of temper at times so
fierce that his domestication is task not
seldom accompanied by decided hazard.
Ordinary fences are as gossamer TO
buffolo bull, especially during the irritable
years when he is past his prime and finds
himself less attractive than Of yore. Still,
the example of well-behavcd domestic
cattle, with which buffaloes readily
amalgamate, is very effective. II is not,
however, in mere domestication, but in
cross-breeding, that the buffalo's value
consists. In pairing n buffalo bull and
domestic COW the young are brought forth
without any unusual percentage of loss
being sustained. The offspring combines
good points of sire and dam. 1t has
nearly all its sires hardness and strength,
and so much of its dams tractibility as
to be well suited for draught purposes.
When killed, the net weight of its car
cass exceeds that of a buffalo's, while the
meat is better. Such carcass has been
known to weigh as much af 100 pounds
net. Its robe is much more valuable than
the buffalo's; for its for, instead of be-
ing chiefly punched at the name, is evenly
distributed over the hide, and is much
finer in quality-its present value being
from $50 to SIS. A buffalo paired with
II half-breed COW produces an animal quite
as hardy as its sire, but not quite so large.
Experiments of much interest are in
progress with various strains of domestic
cattle, the outcome promising to be per-
haps only less important than the original
domestication, and subseqent molding, of
horses and cattle from their primitive
wild forms. Popular Science Monthly.

Selling a Hair of Gladstone.

A Naples correspondent gives an anoc-
dote which, he says, deserves to become
historical. ''Sitting exactly behind Mr..
Gladstone in church l saw gray hair
tumble on to the collar of his ovcrcOat I!
Hearing once how a lemon squeezed by
the Prince of Wales instantly became of
immortal value, it occurred to me that a
hundred years hence this short iron-gray
hair might likewise attain distinction, so
/ carefully picked it off and held it be
tween my thumb and finger. The next
thing was to bring it home and preserve
it, but ON the way not lost it-but
sold it. Meeting an Italian deputy Of
high position l showed him my trophy;
he got tremendously excited, seized my
hair (the gray one), threw me a 5-franc
piece aud bolted. n-PaH lNQU Gasette.

HOT WATER.

Applied to bruiso, hot water will allay
pain and prevent discoloration. It has
superseded medical "eye-waters" in the
treatment of infamed and aching eyes.
An American author, whose excellent eye
sight was wonderful, when one consid.
cred her age and the immense amount of
literary labor she performed, attributed
it mainly to the custom Of bathing her
eyes freely in water as hot as could be
borne, night and morning. habit con.
tinued for many years. For the bath,
hot water is incomparably better than
cold, which contracts the pores and thus
roughens the skin.

Farmers Houses In Japan.

The native house of the japanese
farmers is a shell-like affair, built up off
the ground, with sliding paper screens
for walls, and with no facilities for heat
ing excepting the little charcoal bTaziers
by which they warm their hands, while
the feet are kept warm by sittin" on
them. The only furniture Of the house
are the thick rice mats or mating, which
cover the floor, and in the bettershouses
the cases of drawers for clothing and the
low tea or writing tables. Chairs and
sofas are unknown, so that sitting on the
floor is the only alternative, and this can
not easily be done in leather boots and
trousers or in the dress of western women.
Nor can the japanese afford to ruin these
soft mats by walking over them in shod
feet, aud So the wooden sandal that can
be slipped of at the door is preferable.
The light walled, airy, unheated houses
neccssitate waddcd clothing in winter, and
this can only be comfortably secured in
the loose obi and kWmona Of the japanese
costume. In striking proof of the
superior comfort of the native dress is
the fact that native men and women who
wear the foreign dress at their business
during the day exchange it for the Japan
ese dress as soon as they enter their
homes
Elaboration in house aud dress would
involve extra labor and strength and
a consequent charge of diet.
In addition 10 the fish and rice, bread
and meat would be necessary. These
would mean greater outlay and unless the
money-making resources of japan were
cowespondingly developed western ciyili-
zation would only increase the wretched-
ness Of the country. Mail and Erpress.
