LEARNING TO BE NURSE.
A Novice's First Day at a Hospital---
Illusions Shattered.

We each begin our duty in the hospital
as probationers on a months trial. That
beginning is very new to most OF US;
quite unlike anything in u previous
lives. Before entering the school, some
OF us may have imagined that we had a
peculiar fitness for nursing. even II we
did not consider ourselves born nurses.
We may have made up our mi0ds that we
knew how to make a poultice, aud TO
care for the sick by being Kind TO them
possibly have read Miss N~ightingale's
Notes" aud 30 are quite sure that we
know something of nursing, but That the
hospital training will give us q sort oil
standing, and therefore it will be a deslr-
able thing to have AS we proceed WIN
know how to make a pouitice, nor how
best to care for q sick person. Some OF
us, again, know nothing at all about
nursing, but we are not required 70 know
anything. A head nurse prefers to train
the raw material, so to speak, In her own
way. What is required is that the pro-
bafioner be receptive, that she be intelii-
gent and, above ali, active; and In case
she has any knowledge OF nursing, or
ideas, or opinions, il she is discriminating
she viii keep them TO herself.
We have nc dreaming time, there Is no
place for sentiment, and very little Tor
sympathy in the ordinary sense OF the
word. Were we to sympathize with all
the woes that we see we should be used
up, we hould die.
A probationer enters the ward for the
first time, and is introduced to her head
nurse. She Is then probably set to do
some simple piece Of work, such rs ar
ranging a closet or folding clothes and
the like. On the next day she will have
her regular duties to learn. As the after
noon goes on she may find herself look
ing at the clock watching for half-past
five D. m. to come so that she may go of
duty, and she has probably a bad head
ache. There is u hospital atmosphere,
produced by the smell of drugs and other
unavoidable odors, p~erceptibie TO a fresh
nose; there are strange sights and sounds
which combined give a sort OF shock for
the first day.-Mrs. Frederick Rhine
lander Jones, In NoUenbcr Scrfbaer.

ST. PAUL, March q. THE North Da-
kota legislature a few days appointed a
seed wheat commission. Some of the
members who are acknowledged leaders
in the lottery scheme and opponents to that
scheme at once expressed a fear that
through the necessities of their constitu.
ents. some OF the anti-lottery members
would be won over by the commissioner.
A Pioneer Press special tonight says there
is the best of reason for believing that
the lottery bill will he taken from the
table tomorrow or Wednesday in order
to get a test vote on it. As it requires a
two thirds vote to take it from the table,
that, if secured. would be enough to pass
1t over a veto. II the motion is carried,
a new bill will be introduced making the
tribute annually $3.50, 900 instead of
$3.50 00. while the price of the charter
will be raised from $25. 900 to $50, 900,
and S2l 900 be paid at once into the state
treasury. The seed wheat question will
be used with powerful effect.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The Body of a Jewess Found

A Mob of Would-be Lynchers,
Armed With a Cannon,
Repulsed by the Mayor of
Spartansburg, S. C.

New YORK March lO.-A mysterious
murder was discovered by Blurmah Levi.
a feeble, tottering woman 10 years old, in
the grimy cellar of No. 3 Eldridge street,
this afternoon. The murdered one vas
young, good looking and evidently a
Jewess. The body was covered with
bruises and the skull fractured. Shreds
OF human skin were found hanging in
light threads from her finger nails, mute
evidence OF an awful struggle with her
murderer. No one had occasion to use
the cellar for six months before to-day,
Mrs. Levi going down to get a beer keg
to preserve pickles, discovered the body.
For the past year Mrs. Lewis son used
the ground floor as a place of business
and rented the floor above to two rich
Hebrews, who founded a Hebrew school.

shot and killed Herman Rogozinksi, and
shot but did not kill Mrs. R~ogozinski ,;;abd

had a number of wives, and the police
think the murdered woman was one of
Jacobs wives and he killed her before his
onslaught on the Rogozinski family.

CHIcAi 10, March lO.-The swltchmen
employed in the Chicago & Northwestern
yards, between 300 and 400 in number,
went on a strike this morning, badly
blocking business. The men claim that
Yardmaster Brooks is overbearing and
demanded his removal. After a four
hours blockade and conference the COM
pany removed Brooks and the men re-
turned to work. An hour later they quit
again to demand the discharge OF two
swItchmen who made themselves obnox-
Gus. This matter was settled after an
other hours delay and it is now thought
the trouble is over. The railroad officials
say the whole trouble is due to llI-feeling
between the rival svitchmen's organiza-
tions.
MILWAUKEE, March IO-AIl the
switchmen employed here by the Chicago
x Northwestern, numbering about fifty.
struck in sympathy with and to support
the switchmen who struck in Chicago.
Trains were greatly delayed and by 6
O'Clock there was a blockade at the station
here. Engineers who we're asked to help
get trains out refused. Freight traffic IS
practically at a %standsull. Later in tie
evening they received advice from Chicago
that the strike was settled, whereupon all
returned to work.

W~nKEsBARRE, Pa, March IO.-The
fate of the eight men entombcd in the
Wilkesbarre shaft five days ago is not
sealed for good yet. The workmen en-
gagged in laying pipes from the Stenton
mine to the Hillmln we're startled this
morning by a loud knocking on the main
water pipe which runs all through the
mine.
The men stopped work, and all at once
George Mcdonald cried out, My God, is
it possible the men are still alive?'
There is good reason to believe now that
they are. If they are their whereabouts
at present must be on the top lift of the
Hillman vein. They are able to get air
there, and as they had a mule with them
at the time of the explosion, the theory is
that they may have managed to live by
slaughtering and eating it.
Redoubled efforts will be made to find
them.

New YORK, March lO.-The cry of
fire awoke Ludlow street once more in the
night. 1t came from 1877, a human bee
hive, six stories high, which sheltered
thirty families. Less than two years ago
the building was ravaged and a number of
people burned, though none were killed.
1t has since been provided with every
means of escape tor its teeming popula.
ton. During the progress of the fire the
occupants Of the building wore IN terrible
peril. All were rescued in safety, how
ever. There were many narrow escapes,
as the flames surrounded the fire escapes
and the halls were filled with smoke. The
incident Of the fire was a father throwing
his baby from the second story fire escape
into the hands of a fireman below, who
caught it hving. Several persons were
rescued by being lowered by ropes. The
loss is small.

DENVER, March lO-The masters re-
port in the celebrated case of r. c..
Henry against the Travellers Insurance
company of Hartford was filed today.

should be returned to him collaterals ag-

cancellation of all of Henry's obligations.
The master finds that these obligations
have been paid to the Travellers Insur.

bonds of various irrigating companies OF
Colorado with which Henry has been
connected. All the claims made by the

appropriation of money by Henry in
