Artists and Tools .

The tariff laws. as interpreted by the last
administration, and the immigration laws.
as interpreted by Secretary Carlisle, do not
seem to dovetail in together very well. Last
week the collector Of the port of New York,
acting under ruling by Secretary Foster,
admitted free of duty dozen or 80 trunks
full of fine theatrical costumes, including
silk dresses, pink tights, laces, shoes, etc..
belonging TO an opera company imported
under contract to sing in New York and
Chicago. on the ground that they were
tools of trade" and, therefore, not duti-
able.
"Tools Of trade" of course, are the
implements which one who follows a trade
employs in his or her occupation. Trade"
is defined by Webster as being "occupa-
ton, especially mechanical; distinguished
from the liberal arts and learned profess
ions. and from agriculture" Persons who
use tools Of trade" then. are supposed to
be artisans, mechanics, laborers. But me-
chanics. ETC., are forbidden by the immi-
grafton laws to come to this country under
contract. Tools Of trade" may come in,
but people under contract to use them may
not.
In a ruling recently made by Secretary
Carlisle he defined the status Of the im-
ported actor under the immigration law in
these words: IAN artist is defined as one
who processes and practices an art in which
science and taste preside over the manual
execution. The term is particularly applied
to painters, sculptors, musicians, singers
and actors" This is an old treasury ruling,
in which the present secretary concurs.
Does an actor use tools" In skirt DANE
ing and solo singing, does the manual
execution preside over scien@ and tastel 10
may be all right TO admit both actors and
their wardrobes free; but, for the sake of
consistency let's quit admitting actors as
artists and their costumes as "tooIs.n

Ambassadors for Republics.

From the NetO York Herald CTnd).
As the United States is a republic and recog-
nizes no sovereign within its borders the senti-
ment has prevailed more or less that an am
bassador is monarchical rather than q repub-
lcan official. But there has been no substan-
tai reason for this. The old Venetian and
Dutch republics sent ambassadors abroad and
so does the French republic Of to-day. Evil

preJudlce or sentiment on this score since they

Il is probable that one outcome Of the Ann
Arbor strike, and the ruling Of the court in
that case, will be the formation of a new
federation OF railway employees. Chief
Arthur, Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, favors a new federation and q
movement is already on foot to consum-
mate 1t. 10 is said the new constitution
will include all classes Of railway employees,
from engineers to boilermakers, and that it
will be provided in the constitution that no
organization shall order strike without the
full consent of all the other orders. Ifsuch
a federation, with such a constitution.
would decrease the percentage Of probabili-
ties Of strikes, it would be a good thing.

A HOSPITAL NIGHT NURSE.
The Tender Care Administered Dur.
ing the Midnight Watch.

ing the Midnight Watch.
From Demorest's Magazine.
NO one can become acquainted with the
burden-bearing duties of the hospital nurse
without feeling that she has undertaken a
hard ministry in serving her fellow crea-
lures. The night nurse is always twelve
hours on duty, usually from pm to a.
n. When most people are either enjoying
pleasant social evening or are sleeping
peacefully in their beds, she is alone with
the sick and the dying, in the silent SOL
emnity Of the night. There is a special
training for night duty, and the night
nurse is taught to remember that the lives
OF human beings are at her mercy. The
careless or thoughtiess nurse may lounge
away her time in an easy chair while the
pulses of her patients are throbbing feebly
IN the throes of death; but the good kind
efficient nurse Is alert and pacing to and fro
IN the ward for twelve long hours, until
daylight dawns.
The small hours of the morning seem
most dangerous 10 life, and 1t is the nient
nurse who Is most frequently called upon
TO witness the last hours OF the dying, Her
practised fingers detect the feebleness OF
the pulse, her trained eye the dangerous
height or the temperature Perhaps she has
been already warned by the house surgeon
that the patient Will not live through the
night; she is therefore not alarmed at the
approach of death, Two screens are quietly
put around the bed of the dying one upon
a small table a lighted candle is placed and
there the young night nurse sits, in loneli-
ness and silence. watching and ministering
to the last hour of the sufferer. He is a
poor Polish jew, perhaps; but king could
have no better service. Kind lips speak
words of sympathy, kind hands wipe the
cold perspirinS brow. and gentle fingers
close the eyes in death And then, when
all Is over the night nurse informs the
house surgeon that Number sixteen in the
male ware has ceased breathing" 1t is in
terestins to notice that so strict are the
rules Of professional etiquette which define
the duties of nurse from those of physician
that the hospital nurse ia not allowed to 70
