A Touch of Fellow Feeling.

"We do indeed have some queer ex-
periences," said the trained nurse, tax
ing off her white cap and giving its
dainty bow a few def, reconstructing
touches, land many Interesting and di-
verting episodes also. Not long ago l
was sent for to attend a minister's wife
and must confess that | responded to
the call with some trepidation and ap-
prehenslon. 1t was my first experience
in a minister's family, and | was afraid
that my patient might ask me to pray
with her or read the Bible to her, which
most excellent Offices would be wholly
out of my line and would cause me
much embarrassment.
"When / reached my post Of duty, |
found the minister's wife suffering d
great deal, and my first office was to
make and apply a mustard plaster, 1
concocted it with a generous and CON
scientious hand, and it must have been
pretty warm, for several seconds after L
had ~deferentially applied the mustard
plaster on the person of the minister's
wife she groaned dismally. Leaning
over her to discover whether her pain
had Increased, lheard her murmur softly
but theoretically:
"'Oh, Jimmy! It's too hot! cant
stand it!'
perhaps you can imagine how my
heart leaped toward the dear woman at
this touch Of nature. We had a delight
full time together when she got better.
She was a good woman, too, but like the
rest of us she had her favorite ejacula-
lions under compelling circumstances"

Swiss Women to Have a Paper.

The women of Switzerland have made
arrangements with the Zurich Post, one
Of the most prominent Swiss papers, to
issue every fortnight a supplement en-
tirely under the control Of women and
edited by DR.. Emily Kempin. The pur-
pose Of the paper is to discuss the work
of women, to arouse in women a feeling
of responsibility regarding their unions,
to Justify the cooperation of women in
all fields of human effort, in anticipation
Of the time when women shall partici-
pate in politics, and above all to give
adequate expression to the dignity OF
woman as wife and mother in all her
legal rights.

Theoretically / do not believe in sep

always seemed something Of a deroga-

said about the bears dancing. I still
hold to this theory, but I could not re.

and useful arts, in organizing and carry

do not see how any one can enter this
building and stroll about in it without
being Immediately conscious of an at
mosphere of refinement, of good taste,
and most decidedly of success. There is
nothing more marked in the whole ex-
position than the success of this part of
it. The powers that evoked this exhibit
and that rule it ought to be in an ami
able frame of mind, and that young
lady who designed the structure might
be pardoned for a little self c~omplacency
when she sees her nam inscribed high
on the walls.
There have been direful stories told in
various newspapers about the squabbles
among the ''lady managers" of the board.
Somebody has tainted somebody else,
and there has been bursting into tears.
It is indeed distressing that it should
have been left to women to disagree. 1t
is distressing that the angelic example
set in the years past by men on all kinds
Of committees should have gone for
nothing and that lady managers should
scold and cry-if they did. Still, gen.
tlemen, patience! Pray continue the
good example, and perhaps by the time
the next 400 years have rolled over the
world the lady managers of that future
may be able to swear Justify instead of
crying and scolding. Heaven speed the

Where the hills climb up to heaven, an the
rapid rivers sound.
Pears like the world is newer, with its lowell

An his eyes are seein truer, an his hearts
a-beatin right!
When a Teller takes a day off, there is lots o.
things to see.
l kin hear the winds away off, jes' a-welcomin

An the violets peep SO purity, an the rose Iuse-

Feels the red a-rushin round it, an comes
climbin fer a kiss!
When a Teller takes a day off-oh, he learns a
lot o. things
From the very doves a-flyin, with the music in
their wings;
From the hills an from the valleys, where the
streams an dews is found
When a Teller takes a day off. an his soul is

Women RootbIacks In France,

A custom is rapidly gaining ground in
France, and especially in Toulon and
certain other towns, which, it may safe
ly be prophesied, will not find much imi-
tation in this country. This is the en-
ployment of women as street shoeblacks.
The Frenchwomen shoeblacks are most
coquettishly gotten up, and as to their
caps and frills have somewhat the ap-
p~earance Of hospital nurses, and it is
surprising that, though their occupation
is a tolerably dirty one, they always seem
clean and tidy. Some of them are doing
the polishing in gauntlet gloves.

Young Women Graduates.

of teaching. Of the lie taking their de-
grees at Smiths college so are to teach.
Many of the 113 graduates at Wellesley,
Mass, and %one-fourth of the class at Bryn
Mawr will also teach. The normal class
of domestic science at Pratt's institute
has already found positions for its grad
yates, n of whom is to teach cookery
in a large reform school for girls, and to
see that nutritious diet is provided for
her pupils.-New York Post.

A Popular Color.

The prevailing color is still green, and
in combination with white this bids fair
to outrival the late much favored violet
and green for summer wear. Not only
are dresses to be made green, but beau.
tiful white wool OF silk wraps will be
worn with them, lined with the brighter
color. While some greens are very
charming to the eye, most are extremely
trying to the complexion. But if fash
ion says green a woman will find some
way of making fashions mandate fit her
in every point-fgure, complexion and
even urse.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Nature.

nature.
Named with a thousand names, l am but ore:
Mother of men that are, or were of old.
OF all that creep or fly below the sun, u
The eagle and the blind worm in the mold,
l am the seed that sprouts, the leaf tina falls,
The summers bloom, the winters blighting
breath;
l am the first spring bird that cries and calls;
1am the pangs of birth, the peace of death.
Mine is the hand that guides yon speeding
spheres
And these small notes thai glimmer in the
light;
l write on rocks the record of the years,
Whose feet tread down the cities in their
fight.
l am the smallest part, the mighty whole;
sing with singing streams in quiet lands;
Irave with winds on seas that reel and roll;
l loose or leash the tempests with my hands.
I wave my torch, and lol the lightnings flare,
l breathe, and harkl the forests sway and
rock;
/ speak, the thunder lions in their lair
Roar diapasons with the cyclones shock.
I am the lovers voice. when all the night
Throbs thick with passion and the scent of
June,
When beauty, silent with amazed delight,
Yields hand and lip beneath the early moon.
l am rude, ruddy health and wan disease;
Dives and Lazarus are one with me;
l am the law that smites, the thief that fees;
Utmost and undermost Of sky and sea.
Strength of the strong, and weakness Of the
weak,
Idare the soldier on to deeds of fame;
l urge the dastard's flight through battle reek;
Fam the death, the splendor and the shame.
Make forth into the World to work and win;
Victor or vanquished, fare thou well or i'll,
Taste fruit of good or bitter bread of sin,
Sovereign or servant, 1 am with thee still.
Child OF my breast, l neither love nor hate;
With equal bliss and blight 1 dover thee:
/ hold and hide the secret of thy fate; e
Islay or save, 1 bind or set thee free.

The London Servant Experiment,

The ladies Of London are forming a
society for the employment of servants,
who will come into the house by the day
only and return to their own homes at
night. Most mistresses prefer having
their servants under their own roof so
they will be sure Of them and breakfast
in the morning. It remains to be seen
how well the London society succeeds
with the scheme.-London Letter.

Peace, perfect, tranquil, sweet

The tiny quivering life that blindly waits
Seeking admission at life's mystic gate.
Who will not cease its stirring or be still
Till the broad light of a new world
Shines In its wondering eyes.

The JOY, the rapture of creations dawn
Is walked by that one feeble cry
With which a soul bids farewell to the past
That holds its secret darby to the last
And wins its way to hearts that hear.

The nights dark shades are well forgot

Can never be the same as those we've known,
And that ''old tunes are sweetest, old friends

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base Of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by tho injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirdS of chronic diseases are duo to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
ment primarily originating In the organ it
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
