Nurses Who Play Franks.

Once in while a hospital gets nurse who is
full of mischief and whose capers keep the
whole stan on the lookout for practical Jokes,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. And one of this
kind, Miss H -, was few years ago in one
of the largest of local institutions
At that time a visiting physician on duty was
very swell young NJ. D.. who often made his
rounds after supper arrayed in dress suit
Miss Il didn't like this and thought up
scheme to remedy it.
One of the patient was a man, whe entered
into the secret, and Miss H rubbed upon
his wrists and hands a coating of vaseline
Pretty soon the swell young practitioner put
IN an appearance, dressed for a dance He saw
his otner patients and then visited the man re-
ferred to- The doctor wore the thinuest OF
dainty white gloves, aud after feeling the sick
man S pulse was surprised to tiud them covered
with a greasy Subst ance.
He raised row ABOUT it, but nobody would
discipline Miss H, and it was noticed that
the doctor never appeared at the hospital after
wards in dress suit.
The funniest feature of hospital life, the
nurses say, lies in the fact that about IS per
cent. OF young unmarried men whom they take
care of iall in love with them When a nurse
pulls a young fellow through siege of serious
llness he seems to feel in duty bound to propt Sc
marriage to the nurse

Long Hours for Labor.

| AS result Of the recent parliamentary
investigation Of the late strikes on the
| Scottish railroad some very remarkable
facts were brought out which tend to show
that the strikers had been wonderfully
patient before resorting to concerted action
to remedy their grievances.
Inquiry disclosed a condition that no
American skilled mechanic would stand ( T
a week. Instances were brought out in
which brakemen had been required 70
work as high as ninety-five hours in a single
week. But when a witness seriously stated
that one fireman on a specified date had
worked twenty-five hours and forty
minutes in a single day the COM
mittee was startled as well as
amused. Yet the apparent i'm
possibility was proven perfectly correct
when the man explained that he meant
that number OF hours were occupied in
steady work without relief. 1t seems
almost incredible. Still another work
man stated that workmen had been
known to be kept at continuous duty for
thirty-one consecutive hours at stretch.
With such evidence placed before them the
luNGSblSdtOlS bGkon ~ icalASo Luhb liloI .
was actually some foundation fer the state
ment Of the men that they had to work all
the time there was and more. Such inces-
SAINT toll is sufficient to engender discomfort
anywhere. and among the most amiable of
people. 1t is simply beyond human endur-
ance.
Discomfort under the circumstances Is
nothing more than what might naturally
be expected. Every one who makes liv-
ing by his daily employment wishes to have
some fixed limit at which his toll shall cease.
Every living creature is subject to the
WEAKNESS brought about by constant activ-
ity, and without reasonable rest must event
ually succumb to the strain of unceaslng
exertion. Beside, life is not Of much ac-
count to human beings without some time
set apart for rest and relaxation.
Taking all these things into account this
investigation shows that the Scottish rail-
readers exercised remarkable forbsar-
ance before unitedly making demand for
relief. Therefore their request that a days
work shall be limited to ten hours seems
quite reasonable. 1t is far less than an
average similar body of American work
ingnen would demand. And the Scotchmen
should get what they ask for.

Periodic ANN asia

Three extraordinary instances of what doc
tors call periodic amnesia" were related to me
last night by prominent physician attached
to the New York hospital, says writer in the
New York Telegram. The first was that of a
young American woman who, on awaking from
a protracted sleep, lost memory of al she had
before learned. Her memory had been capa-
cious and well stored with g copious stock of
ideas. Unexpectedly she fell into a profound
sleep, which continued several hours beyond
the ordinary term. On waking she
was discovered to have lost every
trace of acquired knowledge. All
vestiges, both of words and things. were
obhterated. BY new efforts she again acquired
the art of spelling, reading, writing and calcu-
latng, and gradually became acquainted with
persons AMI objects like a being for the first
time brought into the world In these exercises
she made considerable proficiency. After a le "
months another fit OF somnolency possessed
her. On rousing from it she found herself re-
stored to the state she was in before the first
paroxysm, but was wholly ignorant of every
event that had befallen her afterward The
former condition Of her existence she used to
call the old state, and the latter the now state
In the old state she possessed fine powers of
penmanship. In the new she wrote a poor,
awkward hand, having had neither the time
nor the means to become an expert.

The Soup Was a swindle.

long chin whiskers to the functionary that had
handed him bill Of fare in a Madison street

"Sah?" answered the waiter

There's good deal of difference, my friend.

whether it is called English to show that it

Yes sah."
The waiter disappeared in the direction of
the kitchen. He returned presently and ex-
planned that the soup was made by a red
headed Irish cook from five or six kinds of
strictly American vegetables that had been left
over from the day before.

Advancing the Alliance.

I Evidently President Polk, of the farmers
alliance. has extravaganza notions Of the
volume OF lecturing that his organization
requires. If the report really be true that
he has recommended the enlistment Of 81, 900
lecturers on the theories of his faith. the
proposition would certainly command close
attention, because Of the extraordinary
number, if for no other reason. Such
an army Of lecturers would tend
to greatly deplete the ranks Of
the alliance. Not only would all
OF these people be Withdrawn from practical
agriculture, but they would all cost money.
Such an idea put into practice would raise
the current expenses Of the order to enor>
nous proportions. How the money to pay
for such services could be raised is really
beyond conjecture, for every lecturer would
necessarily have to be paid a fair salary,
aside from his ordinary expenses. That is
customary, and, however strongly these
men might be devoted TO the cause, they
could scarcely be expected to work for
nothing.
Since the inception of the order the belief
has always prevailed that its principal pur-
poses we're to devise means by which ready
money could be raised for the relief Of the
pecuniarily distressed condition of farming
interests in general, and not to find new ways
of spending money so freely as to place ad-
ditional burdens upon the farmers. They
are already grooming under what they have
to endure, and it Is not reasonable to sup
pose that the prospect Of even greater
obligations to meet will Be greeted with
much enthusiasm.
No doubt thai an attempt to find the
requisite number Of lecturers would be al
together successful. There are but few men
who do not regard themselves as fully quail
fed to lecture upon every shortcoming at
tendant upon human frailty, even though
they may have proven themselves incompe-
tent to make living in any other way. 1t
is a mania almost as abnormaly developed
as the irrepressble inclination to edit a
newspaper. But getting the money to pay
all this voluntary genius is far more Sc
rious undertaking. For the money required
to pay half of the proposed number Of lect-
ursrs the country could be literally flooded
with good newspapers, the producers Of
which might be we'll paid without placing
SO enormous a burden upon the already
overstrained farmers.
Financial relief is what they are working
for, and not augmented responsibilities.

Really Swindler Pinter must have been
an exceptionally sharp adventurer TO "do
up" such men as the Rothschilds and Bar
ings, and even al English cabinet
minister in the course of the wide swath he
measured OF in London. Beside these
the rascal is said to have actually had the
audacity to attempt to work the noto-
riously penurious Royal Duke Of
Edinburgh. In fact his inexhaustible
supply of intrepid "galr surpassed any
thing that London had heard of for very
long while. Not only did the surprise of his
victims approach amazement, but his bold
exploits positively astounded the police.
They have not yet fully recovered from
their wondering establishment. 1t is said
that the proceeds of his sharp practices
will aggregate fully $780, most Of which
he has probably gambled away at Monte
Carlo. So we have another exempli6cation
of a man who was sharp enough to make a
great deal of money. but hadn't common
sense enough to keep it.

Just what the MORNING NEWS some time
ago suggested as an effective means of
bringing the autocratic Russian car to
terms relative to his treatment of the He
prews in his dominions has been inaugu-
rated by the Jewish bankers of Europe
Most Of the monarchial governments RELY
chiefly upon them for their financial re-
sources, and by cutting off the supplies they
literally control the situation to an extent
that would bring almost any monarch to
terms. Threats to shut off such sup
plies have set the Russian autocr at
to thinking to such earnest purpose that he
is likely to reconsider the peremptory edict
under which Jews have heretofore been so
unceremoniously baaished from Russian
territory. Pecuniary considerations may
induce the Great White Car to be more
humane in the future

Centers of Crime.

Without the aid of the census or other
official statistics the eastern papers are be-
ginning to realize that neither the Atlantic
coast section nor the vast and free domain
of the great west is the chief area wherein
lawlessness and crime most prevail. Close
scrutiny shows them that many of the
states that have long been so much given to
obstrusively boastiDg their superior virtue
are by the actual evidence of the records
shown to be far more stepped in depravity
and crime than the states at which they
have been won't to sneer.
Sudden realization of these surprising
facts leads the Enterprise, printed at MARI
boro, Mass. to frankly observe that lone
morning paper in large city recently con-
tanned the record Of no less than twenty
murders and suicides in that city and part
of the country around it. This record did
not iuclude the number of ARRAYS that did
not Immediately result in death, but only
those where life was already extinct at the
time the paper was put in type. The area
embraced in this dark history was situated
mostly in the northern states on
the Atlantic coast, though few were in
the interior Of the southern states. Strange
to say, the lawless west did not furnish one
murder to the journals death columns
There seemed, somehow, to be frenzy of
murder and suicide in the northeast portion
of the country. Doctors attributed it partly
to the effects of the grip, which occasionally
results in pneumonia, sometimes in in
sanity"
This shows conclusively that it is not best
for one locality to attempt vain boasting
over others which may prove upon closer
inspection to be really superior in many re-
spects. While it is not the purpose of this
article to draw particularly invidious dis
tinctions. it is still gratifying to have the
whole country realize that this part of the
union is quite as highly civilized and free
from crime as any other.

She will not hear thy call:
She steals upon thee unawares,

Soft as the moonbeams when they sought
Endymions's fragrant flower,
She parts the whispering leaves of thought
To show her full blown flower
For thee her wooing hour has passed,
The singing birds have fowp,
And winter comes with icy blast
To chill the buds unblown.
Yet though the woods no longer thrill
As once their Orches rung.
Sweet echoes hover round thee still
OF songs thy summer sung
Live in thy past; await no more
The rush of heaven-ssnt wings;
Earth still has music left in store
While memory signs and sings.
