The Trained Nurse.

"The resources of trained nurse are
astonishing" SAYS a suburban woman
who has just had one during case of
typhoid fever in her home. "One Sum
day during my husbands illness he
begged for ice cream, which the doctor
said he might have. We were a mile
from the station, and as a rule have our
cream sent out from New York. but
there was no getting it on Sunday. I
said all this in despair, for to make ice
cream at home was question of hours,
as we had no ice house, and merely a
daily ice supply. The nurse left the
room smiling confidently. Wait she
said. waited, and in less than twenty
minutes she returned with a saucer Of
delicious strawberry cream.
''She then told me the process: She
had taken a small tea cup of cream, to
which she had added two tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar and little
strawberry Juice pressed from half a
dozen fresh berries; this she had
whipped to froth with an egg-beater,
and then poured into pint pail; COW
cred closely and set into a larger pail,
the space between filled with crushed
ice and salt. After turning few mo-
ments she opened the pail and scraped
off the cream frozen to its sides, then
recovered and continued the process a
few minutes more. The result was the
saucer of pure ice cream, and thereafter
the patient had it morning. noon and
midnight if he asked for it."-Phiiddel-

L Surprised Enslishman.

visiting the city, "to meet by chance all

together, but they were all in CIVILIAN
dress and seemed to be a jolly lot of

Unfortunately, said he, II caught
but one of their names-that of your

whose white mutton-chop whiskers
and clustering good nature led me to
believe that he was an Englishmen in
disguise. All, you should be proud of

"Well, if there isn't the Judge. Good

But why continue the conversation?
You recognize it as characteristic of the
daily ride downtown on any street car
of the city. And when you come to
analyze the various titles attached to
the bunch of business men, this is what
they amount to:
The ''judge" was once judge of cleo
ton: the "commodore" had been an
iron merchant, and in that capacity
weighed an anchor; the "coIonel'' was
or the governors military staff in time
of peace; the "major" led the process

and the captain was a graduate Of the

The Poor Clerk.

On recent rainy Saturday it was
painfully dull in one of the big retail
stores.
A clerk at the dress goods counter
wore dismal expression that even the
disagreeable weather could not account
for.
''Why this grewsome and sorrowful
air ?" one Of the department managers
inquired.
''Triplets born at our house last
night" he walled, with a woebegone
look.
The department manager is kindly
disposed man, and he recognizes the
fact that triplets are a too bountiful
bestowal of gifts for poor man to ap-
preciate.
He had been present at the clerks
wedding some two years before, and
was really very sorry.
In the course of the day he mentioned
the poor clerks misfortune to the firm,
and they headed subscription list for
his relief. The manager passed the list
about the store and considerable sum
was realized.
Full of benevolence he told the poor
clerk what he had done for him.
AS the triplets were trio of diminu-
tive chickens that an old hen had
Matched that morning out of a possible
thirteen, the poor clerk was duly thank
full.
And the department manager, when,
in the course of time he discovered the
fraud, was mad.-Boston Herald.
