lP1fk4tNgLf .Na%Ss1aA OF the ancient Or0el
N%S fsEs of Deaconesses. The
tysgsE Protestant 6eaconess
ICC0N.J3@' " works in similar fields
and after similar WAYS with her Catholic
sister; but takes upon herself no VOWS oi
celibacy, and is in no sense recluse or a
nun. She differs, on the other hand, from
the trained nurse or professional teacher in
that she does out of love and from religious
motives what they do for hire or for per
sonal advancement Deriving her support,
usually, from the church in connection with
which her work is done, she is thereby re-
lieved from all worldly care and solicitude,
and free to devote her time and energies to
her chosen vocation.
The Lutheran Church has taken the lead
in this revival of woman's early work in the
congregation, and KaIseswerth, Germany,
is the principal seat of the order. Thence it
has extended to other countries and among
other denominations notably the Episco-
palian (Which also has the more rigidly or
ganized Sisterhood of ST. John), the
Methodist, Presbyterian and even the Bap-
tist Philadelphia was one of the first
American cities to welcome this Sisterhood,
and the Mary ]. Drexel Home and Phila-
delphia Motherhouse of Deaconesses is the
first and probably the finest institution of
Its kind on the Western Continent
The DrexeI Institution of Philadelphia.
This home is an ofshoot of the German
Hospital and was erected in 1866 by John
D. Lankenau, son-in-law of the late f. NJ.
Dre1el, in memory of his deceased wife,
Mary Johanna, who died in 1873. Beneath
the roof OF this beautiful building are
gathered under one management four differ
ent institutions-a Home for the Aged, for
which the bGilding was originally designed,
the Motherhouse of Deaconesses, a school
for girls and children's hospital.
OF the older probstioners and Auxiliary
Sisters two or three occupy one room, while
those who have recently entered the house
are placed in two dormitories on the second
and third floors, each of which accommodates
nine. On the second floor are the sewing
room and the sitting room of the Sisters,
the latter containing fine piano. There
are 81 Sisters here in all, comprising Is
deaconesses, IA help-Sisters and six pro-
bationers, nearly all of German birth or

An Importation of Sisters.
After several Intellectual attempts had
been made to induce Kaiserswerth or some
other large Motherhouse in Germany to
give up a few Sisters to the American work,
o correspondence was opened through Con-
sui Never with small community at lser-
lohn, which resulted in bringing the
Superior and six Sisters over here IN the
spring of 1884. These pioneers in the dea-
coness work in Philadelphia were Sister
Superior Marie Kruger and Sisters Fried
erike Wurzler, Wilhelmine Dittmann,
Marianne Kraetzer, Magdlaine Won
Bracht, Alma Kohmann and Pauline
Loeschmann.
The hospital has beds for 40 patients,
but has frequently been obliged to make
room for many more Eighteen Sisters are
employed as nurses under the immediate
charge of Sister Emma, while Sister Wanda
Won Oerizen, the present Superior, has the
general care and supervision. This hospital
was one of the first TO admit a female prac-
titioner-Dr Marie l.. Bauer-on equal
terms with other members of the statf.
Two-thirds of the patients are men, and the
male wards are always full. Among the
donations received during the past year is
one of 900 marks from Emperor William ii.
Not only are the deaconesses employed In
the hospital and other institutions con-
nected with the Drexel Home, but also In
parochial work among the sick and needy.
The parish Sister is called by the congrega-
ton, lives in its midst, stands under the
pastors authority, and works hand in hand
with the Woman's Aid Society among the
poor, the sick and the neglected. The e1-
penses of her board and lodging are betrayed
bv the Deaconess Association of the parish,
which likewise pays 500 annually to the
Motherhouse, the Sister receiving thence
her clothing, pocket money and care in case

Two classes of deaconesses are to be trained

a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Re

The Latter Plays an April Fool Joke to

One warm spring morning Mr.. Rey.
nard went out to see what he could find
for breakfast. He was in hopes he
could catch some young chickens, for
he was particularly fond of them, they
were so tender; but all the little chick
ems were safe il the barnyards, where
Mr.. Reynard dared not venture, and he
grew very hungry.
After awhile he came to the edge of
a grassy bank, at the foot of which
was a broad lake. There. close by the
water, preparing to take a morning
swim, Mr.. Reynard saw what made
his mouth water. 1t was a plump,
handsome goose.
Good morning, Mrs. Goose!" said
Mr.. Reynard. as he ran down the bank,
thinking to himself: Iii make a meal
of you in no time!"
Good morning, MI. Reynard!" re-
sponded Mrs. Goose, with her most
fascinating smile.
Mrs. Goose had already surmised
Mr.. Reynard's intentions, and she at
once engaged him in conversation,
while she tried to think how she could
best escape his clutches. Meantime
Mr.. Reynard half forgot his hunger.

Goslings, The thought made Mr..
Reynard's eyes dance with delight. Of
course he would go! If they were as
fat as their mother, what a dainty
breakfast he would have! So up the
bank he scampered, well pleased with
his errand. He could take care of Mrs.
Goose after he had had a taste of her
young ones.
But his search up and down the road
was in vain; he secured the adjoining
lots to no purpose, and he hurried back
to the lake in a very bad humor in
deed But Mrs. Goose was not where
he had left her. She was resting upon

tropolis in a few years will be the CITY OF
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, without
the effort and struggle through which in
terror. towns have passed while effecting
the same result Untila year or two ago
the average man did not stop to think that
Superior as a monopolist Of the water and
rail termini at one end Of the lakes Is in the
same position as Buffalo at the other end,
Figures are embarrassing unless given
briefly, but comparisons are always impor-
tant. This little Superior, credited by its
last census with only 3 1900 people, handled
more coal last year than did Chicago; of
grain, 1t shipped nineteen million bushels;
Of flour, sixteen hundred Thousand barrels;
Of wool, four million pounds; of merchan-
disc, to the value of thirteen million dol
lars. OF all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There Is al economical reason for this con-
dftton Of things. 1t is that the rail rate on
freight sent west Of Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile, while the water rate
Is one-tenth Of one cent per ton per mile.
This position at the extreme western end Of
Lake Superior is what gives the city of Su-
perior its prestige, and is making IL grow
faster b Chicago. ever did. Besides one
hundred and one smaller industrial con-
Germs, Superior has located twenty eight
large manufacturing enterprises in the past
eighteen months, including the American
Steel Barge Company, the builders Of the
famous "whalebacli" vessel, which Is reyo-
~lutionizing the lake and ocean freight car
ryfng trade. The twenty eight institutions
above mentioned, include iron and steel
plants, -four mills, stove ~foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, shipbuilders and
saw and single mills. The most conserva-
tive business men in the Northwest believe
that Superior will grow faster in the next
ten years than any other city In that pros
porous section of the country, and many of
them claim that Chicago, st Paul, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee have never seen the
rapid growth that will como to the head of
the great chain of lakes and the city OF Su-
pertor.
