Garrulous Parrot Is Completely Cured
by Dignified Owl.
One day man who had considerable
experience with parrots, says the Idler,
happened to come in, and when / COM
planned of the birds loquacity he said:
''Why don't you get an owl? You get
an owl and hang him up to that parrots
cage and in about two days you'll find
that your birds dead sick of unprofta-
BILE conversation.
Well, got small owl and put him
in cage next to the parrots cage. The
parrot began by trying to dazzle the
owl with his conversation, but it
wouldn't work The owl sat and
looked at the parrot just as solemn as
minister whose salary has been cut
down, and after awhile the parrot tried
him with Spanish. 1t wasn't of any
rse. Not word would the owl let on
understand. Then the parrot tried
Dragging and laid himself out to make
he owl believe that of all the parrots
n existence he was the ablest. But he
could not turn feather of the owl. That
noble bird sat silent as tie grave and
looked at the parrot as if to say: This is
indeed melancholy exhibition of inn
becility." Well, before night, that par
rot was SO ashamed Of himself that he
closed for repairs, aud from that day
forth he never spoke an unnecessary
word. Such, gentleman, is the force Of
example in the very worst of birds.

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
two years course, and graduating,
they will be competent to do general
sick nursing, and if they wish to do
so, by taking one years training in \
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 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
taking this two years course of train
ing receive an amount of culture, in
dependent of their training as nurS-
eS, which will fit them for any oc-
cupation they may choose to take up
after graduation, and it has the great
advantage of teaching them to be Or
derby, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power OF
self control.
During the undergraduate term of
service, men are paid $500 during
the first month and this 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 $500.
All applicants should be between Is
and 30 years of age, free from disease
or deformity land they are expected to
enter for full course of instruction.
Each applicant on being accepted will
be expected to serve one month on
probation, after which, if the service
has been satisfactory, they will sign
contract with the accounting officer
of the institution and provide them
selves with the uniform for nurses.
1t is the desire of the institution to
elevate nursing to profession of
which any one would be proud to be a
member, and we therefore wish to en-
|'list intelligent young women and
young men in the service. At the
same time it is best for them to thor
oughly understand that they are un-
dertaking an arduous task, which will
require courage, patience and self
sacrifice on their part. The regular
term of instruction will begin Sept.
lst, and we would like to have as
many applicants 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 the undersigned, when application
blanks will be furnished them. II
their references prove satisfactory
the names of candidates will be placed
on file and they will be sent for as
needed.
