Begin Early to lncuIcate Good Habits.
As soon as the babies are old enough
to learn anything. teach them TO put
the playthings in their places. Make
them feel ashamed of leaving things
for their mother to pick up. 1t will
require patience, far more than to do
it yourself and have done with it.
The children will be needless and
careless and forgetful. Do not expect
to succeed the first time, nor the hun
dred and first. But perseverance will
conquer in the end; your child will
acquire the habit of order and be the
better equipped by SO much for the
battle of life.
Children can be taught to take
pride in keeping their little posses
sions neat and tidy. The mistake we
make in their education is in not Civ
ing sufficient weight to the fact that
constant repetition is necessary to
impress firmly upon their minds any
thing we wish to teach, and that hab-
its are formed by successive daily acts.

Qualifications OF a Nurse.
A well known medical man in writ
ing about nursing, says:-''It is not
absolutely necessary that a sick nurse
should be highly educated, but she
must possess the qualification of COM
mon sense'--that is, the knowledge of
everyday affairs. She must, however,
be able TO read writing, and she ougnJ
to have all her five sensesin a healthy,
active condition, viz. sight, hear
ing, feeling, smell and taste--sight,
that she may be able to read direc-
tiens or aloud to the patient and
watch the change of c~ountenance.
Hearing that she may catch the
faintest whisper or change of breath
ing. Feeling. that she may detect in
stantly any change in the heat or dry
ness or chill of the skin. Smell, to
notice at once the least impurity in
the atmosphere of the room, or to
judge of medicines; and taste, that she
may not offer any food to the patient
that is not appetizing and wholesome.
This is an excellent summary of quail
fications, although there are other
moral attributes quite as essential

unselfishness, firmness-in fact, : per-

The Unpopular m
The woman with a brusque man
ner, whether a social leader or not, is
seldom popular-she who allows the
cares of life, its duties and demands,
to crowd upon her and push to one
side gentle civilities. Sometimes,
where this is the result of hard work, |
necessitated by cruel circumstances,
the sterling worth is recognized be-
meath the brusqueness, and she is for
given by those who know her we'll.
But brusque manners do not draw
new friends. The condescending or
snobbish woman is never popular.
Those who know her best wonder
how with wealth and all it's powers,
with everything at hand to make her
a queen, she should show so few win
ming ways; should seek so little to
make others happy.
The sharp tongued woman, whose
remarks stab and sting, is feared, but
not loved. The woman who gives
those about her the impression she is
laughing at them in her sleeve has
few friends. The woman with no
spontaneity, no enthusiasm, though
highly cultured and prominent in
society, is never popular. Some wo-
men are born with winning ways.
In a certain neighborhood, where
the boys and girls have unusually
jolly times, no entertainment was
complete without the presence of a
certain girl. Partners solicited her
favor long before the dance. The pa
rents were anxious to know the rea-
son of her great popularity. as she
was not nearly as pretty as some
others. A boy being asked why she
was so liked, stopped a minute, then
said, ''I1l tell you why; she is kind to
all the boys alike, and doesn't turn
up her nose when we awkward ones
ask her to dance. - Brooklyn Eagle.
Mourning Orders from Russia.
The principal dressmakers in Paris
have been quite overwhelmed with
the shoal of mourning orders from
Russia. The Imperial Court has
gone into mourning for three months
for the Grand Duchess Paul, and of
course it will be de rigeur for all lad
les to appear in black during the peri
Cd. One Paris milliner received orders
for 800 dresses. During the first month
black wooden, with heavy crepe trim
mings is worn; the second month al
lows the introduction OF black silk
and jet; and during the third month
a little white and mauve are permit
