Advertising Of bis State, replied;

How to Keep a Chameleon,

The Florida chameleon, which also is
frequently brought home by the tourist,
is bright and intelligent creature. He
requires almost unlimited sunshine to
bask in, and flies, which he catches on
the end of his long tongue, to eat. A
fernery is a comfortable place for him.
This fellow, it is said, has temper, and
if not well treated OF if teased he will
show fight, though he can hardly do
much harm. The genuine chameleon,
after whom the Florida lizard is named,
is one of the quaintest and oldest Of
pets, but he is native of the old world
and rarely seen in our country.
Another American of the family, often
sent from the west and south to pet
lovers, is called the horned toad, though
he is no toad, but a lizard. He is said to
be an interesting pet and capable of be-
ing taught. All the small members of
this race live on insects and need to be
kept in very warm quarters.-Olive
Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazaar.

uation, and it has the great advantage
OF teaching them to be orderly. meth
odical and accurate, beside developing
in them the power OF self control.
During their undergraduate term
OF service, men are paid $500 during
the first month and this amount is
gradually increased according to
merit until after six months they are
paid $500. Graduates may, for
good and extended service be paid
$500 per month. Women are paid
$1,000 the first month to be gradually
increased to $500 after six months.
Graduates may be paid $2S 90.
All applicants should be between
l8 to 30 years of age, free from disease
or deformity, and they are expected
to enter for the full course of instruc-
ton. Each applicant on being &C.
cepted will be expected to serve one
month on probation, afte- which, if
their service has been, satisfactory,
they will sign contract with the &C.
counting officer of the institution and
provide themselves with the uniform
for nurses.
It is the desire of the institution to
elevate nursing to a profession of
which any one would be proud to be
a member, and we therefore wish to
enlist intelligent young women and
men in the service. At the same time
it is best for them to thoroughly
understand that they are undertaking
an arduous task. which will require
courage, patience and self-sacritice on
their part. The regular term of in
struction will begin September LIST,
and we would like to have as many
applications as possible sent in before
that time, although candidates can
enter at any time.
Those who are DESTROYS of entering
the training school will please write to
undersigned, when application blanks
will be furnished them. If the refer
ences prove satisfactory, the names of
candidates will be placed on file and
they will be sent for as needed.

An Eccentric Washington woman.

a y A|NsSOAAsAAO ~ seoAsA ~ essA " Om00s
There is a woman In Washington eoI
ciety whose eccentricities in certain lines
are SO well known as to pass without
comment. Her. position as a matron Of
literary proclivities is the motive for sun
dry gatherings at her house during the
season. On one occasion the guests bid
den to the literary feast were informed
upon arrival that they must enter by q
side door. as the morning being rainy
they would otherwise track mud over the
hall carpet. That the hostess is not so
much respecter of persons as of things
is further evidenced by her conduct at
an afternoon reception.
Those Of her guests whose garments
were ornamented with jet were asked
during their stay to remain in the second
parlor, where the furniture was Of ma
hogany. This sorting out process was
explained by the frank announcement
that if people would wear sharp orna-
ments on their clothes she must protect
her own property by excluding them
from the sacred precincts of the first par
lor SO that the rosewood furniture could
not be scratched.-Kate Fields Wash

ST. PETER STATE HOSPITAL,
St. Peter, MINI.

Training School for Nurses.
There is in this hospital training
school for nurses, the object of which
is to fit young men and women for the
profession of nursing. They not only
become familiar with the care of the
insane, but are trained in general
nursing as we'll, so that after taking a
two years course, and graduating,
they will be competent to do general
sick nursing, and if they choose to do
SO, by taking one years training in a
general hospital to become familiar
with surgical nursing, they will be
competent to- do any kind of nursing
and will be much better trained than
the graduate of a general hospital.
The course of study is graded and
extends over two years, consisting of
lectures and practical instruction in all
the details of the care of the sick and
insane. Young men and women tex
ing this two years course of training
receive an amount of culture, indepen-
dent of their training as nurses, which
will: fit them for any occupation they

The Boomerang Is Not New.

The boomerang, the Australian natives
weapon of ofense and defense, referred
to in all reference works as an instru-
ment unknown until after the discovery
of Australia, was doubtless known be-
fore the time of Christ. Pliny the elder,
a contemporary of our Saviour, writes
as follows in his Natural History" re-
specting an instrument made of the wood
Of the aquifolia:
eff staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength in the person throwing, falls
short of the mark, it will come back to-
ward the thrower of its own accord. so
remarkable are the properties of that
tree"
It is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the shape
of the ''staf" and referred its peculiari-
ties to the nature of the wood of which
it was made.-St. Louis Republic.
