1t would repay any one who is inter-
ested to take trip to any of the large
free hospitals Of Chicago. There the
entire business is conducted by women,
in good measure. a woman runs the
dispensing establishment; women pa
troll the wards and soothe the suffer-
ings of patients.
Women are, by general consent,
known TO be the best of nurses, and
far excel men in patience, tenderness
and care. In the hospitals of Cook
county they are trained and drilled to
the point of perfection. The nurses
make of this experience foundation
for their future. They learn to nurse,
how to take the temperature, and be-
come gradually accustomed to all the
sights aud sounds of sick ward. They
are then prepared to become profess
sional nurses and frequently receive
large salaries as attendants on rich in
valids, and have opportunities to travel
into foreign countries. For many
young women this work offers better
chances and more money than almost
any other profession.
One young lady who had served
eleven months in the county hospital
accepted an offer to travel with a rich
lady-a confirmed invalid-at salary
which would enable her in a short time
to pursue her studies in medicine, and
realize her dream of becoming doctor.
Another young lady in Chicago hos
pital attracted such notice and general
esteem for the excellence of her work
that she was offered the position
she now holds, of matron TO one of
the largest insane asylums in Maryland.
These are but few of the instances
which could be cited by which young
women have raised themselves to places
of trust and confidence by intelligent
work as nurses. No department of
woman's work offers more, or more de-
sirable, chance for future success and
emolument.
An emergency ward, fully equipped
with women surgeons, physicians and
nurses, regular graduates of the medi-
cal and training schools. will be shown
by the Woman's Exposition Board of
Illinois. Notable among the physicians
is DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson of Chi
cago. This exhibit will occupy three
rooms, will be thoroughly equipped in
every way with the most approved APP
planes for the care of the sick, and
will practically demonstrate the most
approved methods of nursing.

How to Make Pies.

Every experienced cook knows that
a paste for pies which is tender, flaky
and crispy, can only be made by the
use of fat in generous measure. But
a very palatable and easily-digested
paste can be made in the following
manner: To three teacupfuls of flour
add bali a teaspoonful of baking pow.
der, and pinch of salt. Sift together,
and make into a smooth, rather firm
paste, with one teacupful of thin sweet
cream. Flour the board and roll it out
thin. Repeat the latter process twice.
This paste is especially adapted to pies
when but one crust is used. Excellent
crust can also be made of cream. OF
course it must be sweet, thick and very
cold. Use more salt than with butter,
and sift in with the -four; then mix
stiff with the cream, but handle the
paste as little as possible. Very few
of us, however, have sufficient cream
to use in this way, and butter is expen.
sive to use as substitute. An excel
lent paste is obtained by using two
thirds nice lard, and one.third butter.
The pieces of fat which are cut from
roasts and steaks of beef can be had at
d hlob-Oldoo hOb3 bbNJ uiC
aside and known as soft suet. Wash
thoroughly and proceed to boil and
strain as you would lard, only remem-
bering that it will scorch more easily.
1t is both cheaper and more whole
some than lard. But whether you use
butter ,suet or lard, success very greatly
depends on having all the ingredients
cold, and in handling the least possible
to make it into a mass. Never attempt
to make it smooth, and to knead it is
to invite failure. One.third of tea
cupfu of fat and one teacupful of flour
are.sufficient for pie with two crusts.
Use just enough very cold water to stir
into mass with knife, or few dex-
trous moves of your hand. Flour rolled
in will not injure its hakiness. In a
refrigerator, or other cold place, it will
keep several days without deteriorating
A tablespoonful of pulverized sugar
sifted evenly over the top of pie hav-
ing an upper crust, before it is baked
will greatly improve its looks. Pies
should always be put into hot oven,
and the temperature lessened after a
few minutes. The crust of a custard
pie should always be thoroughly baked,
so that it will not absorb the custard.-

Confederate Armies.

A statement has gone abroad, appar-
emily from Southern source, to the eff
feet that the confederate armies during
the late rebellion numbered only about
100000 men, all told. Evidently the
statement is published for the purpose
of clarifying the Southern soldier at the
expense of the soldier from the North /;
but that the report is far from being
true is well known to all persons hav-
ing even limited knowledge of the
rebellion. If the confederacy brought
only 100000 men into its military SER
vice, why was it? What was the mat
ter? Why did it not have a much
larger number? Certainly it was not a
lack of men of suitable aye in the slave
holding states; for there could hardly
have been less than l 100000 men of
military age in those states at the COM
mencement of the war. Then, those
CONSUMPTION laws passed by the rulers
at Richmond, by which it was said at
the time they 'robbed the cradle and
the grave" ought to have added many
thousand more. The slaves could do
the mental services in the army or re
main upon the plantations to produce

facts In the case, the description of the
orators, and this 600, 900 report do not
harmonize. But assuming the report
to be true, one of two things seems to
be inevitable. A large majority of the
people of the South did not approve of
the Rebellion and did not willingly
help to make it success. Or, having
defed the government and provoked
war, large majority of the people
shirked the consequences-that is, they
proved themselves towards as well as
rebels. Which conclusion do the
makers and publishers of this 1000, :
600" report accept? And which do
the people of the South prefer? Most
intelligent people at the North take the
first, because they believe it the correct
one. But the apology for their defeat
that they were always met by over
whelming superior numbers, is all bosh
only SO much lying.-National Trib-

A Word About Furs.

While yet the warm, drowsy days
linger it seems absurd to even think
that day is coming when furs will be
required. However, as many women
are now selecting their furs for winter
wear, and as the advice of fur dealers
is to buy their wares early, few
suggestions may not be amiss. In the
first place, the sealskin par excellence
the coat which will be worn for shop
ping, street wear, church and other
everyday pursuits, is not beautiful, but
has sensible, practical, comfortable
appearance. The collar comes up to
the ears, defying cold blasts. The
sleeves are high and full, and there are
deep, capacious hip pockets. A capital
coat for ordinary wear.
A more elaborate seal coat is in sack
shape, with full sleeves drawn into a
deep gauntlet cuff at the wrist, and with
Vatican plat in the back so arranged
as to be removed, if desirable. The
Russian style still obtains in the most
seal has a circular cape-like yoke, out
lined by narrow band of wolverine,
and is lined throughout with delicate
mauve bengaline. An Elizabethan cape
of seal with reversible collar is attract
i've. White sable and musk will be
largely used for trimmings. Astrachan
and Persian lamb will retain their hold
on popular favor. Sea otter, blue fox
and skunk will also be used. A smart
evening cloak is of turquoise-blue cloth
with double line of marten arranged TO
form a trimming all around the hem of
the cloak and down the front, as well as
to take the shape of deep cape round
the shoulders.
Lined with blue and silver brocade,
this is charming and effective cloak.
The useful little boas, or, rather, ties of
sable just long enough to go once round
the neck and fasten with a small bead
will be worn again with cloth costumes.
The combination of sable with seal is
likely to be the exquisite leading fancy
of the coming season. Nothing is
more superb than circular seal cape
richly trimmed with sable tails around
the neck, as we'll as round the skirt of
the cloak. Sometimes the tails are
mounted separately, so as to form a
kind of border; sometimes there are
double lines of sable trimming. These
are ideal garments for carriage wraps.

Sheridan's Ride.

General "Phil" Sheridan is quoted
by Judge o. S. Stoddard of St. Louis,
who says that he once read to that gal
liant officer the poem Undertaking the
ride from Winchester to Cedar Greek
very soon alter the verses appeared in
print. Thereupon Sheridan replied in
substance: 81 think if the versifier
had seen that steed and knew how |
had to spur and whip the old crowbait
to get 1t over Lhe road, he would
not have had the attack of Mysteries of
which that poem is the offspring. Ouce
my famous charger stumbled and
came near going over his head into a
mud-puddle. Instead OF plunging with
me into the thickest of the FRAY, he
played out completely, and | had to
lake the mount of an orderly. The
rhymesters are blessed with very vivid
imaginations."
