The First Eight Hours' Work Usually
Ends with n Severe Headache.
We each begin our duty in the hos
pital as probationers on a months
trial. That beginning is very new to
most of us, quite unlike anything in
our previous lives. Before entering
the school some of Us may have imas
ined that We had a peculiar fitness for
nursing. even il we did not consider
ourselves born nurses. We may have
made mp our minds that We knew how
to make n pou!tice. and 10 are for the
sick by being kind 10 them and VENT
lating their rooms. We may possibly
have read Miss Nightingale's Notes"
and so are quite sure that we know
something of nursing; but that the
hospital training will give us a sort of
standing, and therefore il will be a de-
siable thin: To have.
As We proceed with our training we
discover that we did not know how to
make n pouItice, nor how best 10 care
for a sick person. Some of us. again.
know nothing at all about nursing, but
we are not required To know anything.
A head nurse prefers to train the raw
material, ~ To speak, in her own way.
What is required IS that the proba-
toner be receptive, that she be intelli-
gent and, above all, active, and in case
she has amy Knowledge of nursing, or
ideas. or opinions, If she is discriminat-
ing she will keep them To herself.
We have ~ dreaming time; there is
no place for sentiment and very little
for symratl Y in the ordinary sense of
the word. We're we to sylnpathize with
all she woe. that we see we should be
used up. " should die.
A prDbltioner enters the ward for
the first time and il introduced 10 her
head nur~'. She is then probably set
to do some simple piece Of work, such
as ARRANGING "a closet or folding clothes
and the like. ON the next day she will
have her regular duties 10 learn. AS
the afternoon goes on she may find her

Democratic Misrepresentation.

Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina, 10
his speech upon the election bill, said
that Messrs- Evarts and Hiscock were
on the floor of the Senate misrepresent-
ing the State Of New York. This is an
outrageous misstatement. Messrs- Ev-
arts and Hiscock were elected by MEM
bers honestly elected from the repre-
sentative districts, just as President
Harrison was elected honestly by 13,OOc
majority. The latter event proves the
honesty of the former. They don't mis-
represent the State because Cleveland
barely squeezed through in 1884, or be-
cause Hill, the whisky Governor, was
elected. But suppose the elections had
been honest in South Carolina! Butler
and Wade Hampton would not be in the
Senate, nor Walthall and George, Of
Mississippi, nor Gibson and Eustis, of
Louisiana and it would have been \
tight squeeze for Pugh and Morgan. of
Alabama, and Call and Pasco, of Flor
ida 1t would have made an extensive
breach in the ranks of Southern Sena-
tors had there been honest elections in
the Cotton States.-Chicago Tribune.

DEFECTS OF CHARACTER.
Most of Them Are Due to Inadsqu ttc
Training in Childhood.

Trimming in Childhood.
The defects of character and the larger
/ part of the misc ries of after life are
mainly due to inadequate training in
childhood 1t is therefore a hideous in
jus tice, an objectionable crime against
the innocent, to allow such multitudes
! to begin life without any proper in
struction concerning its duties and re-
sponsibilities, no knowledge of it's
wonderful rewards on the one side and
penalties on the other, with no self
discipline, left by society to stumble
along through life. driven by wild inn
pulses which they have never been
taught to understand and become at
last powerless TO control. Among all
the follies of humanity there is none
worse than this. The loss to the world
is beyond estimate. Every year there
are born thousands whose natural gifts
are the best that nature has in her
power TO bestow. From them might be
drawn poets, philosophers and wise
men equal to any of those who have
made the past illustrious They never
reach the position for which nature de-
signed them, because ignorance and
Incompetence are intrusted with guild
ing them during their earliest years
Many of them for this reason become
injurious members of society, the I'M
disciplined forces of their nature COM
polling them into wild extravagances
OF action which the public safety has
been obliged to make unlawful Others
who attain something of usefulness and
responsibility are restricted and OBJ
structed TO the end of life BY the de-
fects of early training. The most of US
are probably dwarfed and infected in
this way. We might have acquired
beauty of character and accomplished
things forever impossible to US now,
had those who trained US in childhood
known better what our natures are and
understood how TO restrain Us here and
stimulate Us these.-ProTidencs( e. Il

ThE YESTERDAYS OF Lice.

From ont each yesterday OF life,
hold we all CLEAN precious store,
Some golden ray. some dazzling beam,
To gid our pathway DER and DER,
And make the heavy burdens less,
That ever round us crowd and press.
Thrice dark that day whose setting sun
Deseends and leaves no parting gieam
OF purpiing glory there to tfnge
The radiance OF Its dying beam;
No holy dew distilled and sweet
To cool the path for bIistered feet.
Thrice blest the heart that fondly gloats
Each night DER some dear treasure won,
That counts its little store Of wealth,
And hugs its blessings one by one;
And boards them with unconscious greed
Against the darkening time of need
Each yesterday should consecrate
Some loving token from heart; x
Mayhap some trifie lightly held
By those who careless did their part
To tinge with roseate glow the night,
And wreath each shadow vita Gods light
And when the swiftly gliding hours
Shall all be numbered in their place,
Each treasure bright shall be our own
To hold with sweet undying grace,
Some hours by sweetest incense fed.
Some days bright marked in letters red.
Helen n. Packard, in Springfield (Mass.)
Republican.
