FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ON
NURSING.

Nursing proper means, besides Civ
ing the medicines and StimulantS pre-
scribed or the surgical appliances, the
proper use of fresh air (ventilation),
light warmth cleanliness and the prop
er choosing and giving of diet, all at
the least expense of vital power to the
sick, so says Florence Nightingale in
the WOman'S Journal And health-at-
home nursing means exactly the same
proper use of the same natural ele-
mentS with so much life giving power
as possible to the healthy. We have
awakened. though still far from the
mark, to the need of training or teach
ing for nursing proper. But while a
large part of So-called civilization has
been advancing in direct opposition to
the laws of health, we, the women, in
whose hands rest the health of babies,
household health. still persevere in
thinking health something that grows
of itself (as Topsy said: God made
me so long, and l growed the rest
mySelf0, while we don't take the
same care of human health as we 90
of that Of our plants, which, we
know very well, perish in the rooms.
dark and close, to which we often con-
fine human beings, especially in their
sleeping rooms and workshops.

A VISITING AIILIINER.

A number Of pretty hats and bonnets
seen this summer were made by a
visiting milliner who goes to the
houses of those giving her employment
and does her work ''by the day" She
will shop for one, buy the necessary
materials, and consult the newest and
prettieSt fashions, or create head COW
eringS from those left over. that have
untold possibilities in the hands of a
person OF taste. For her work she is
paid from $3.50 to So a day, turning
out at least three or four hats or bon
nets as the case may be. The work
done by this young woman suggests a
paying employment for number of
other women who can compose a bon
stylish. 1t requires no capital, and is
both light and pleasant labor. The
young woman who believes that she
could give satisfaction as a visiting
milliner might even begin at a lower
rate than $3.50 day until her work
is in demand and she has proved what
economy it is to employ her. AS a
first step she might ask the patronage
of some pretty woman known for her
good taste in bOnnets, and ask her to
recommend her to her friends. Some
women like nothing so we'll as to dis
cover a protege in this way, and take
to her more kindly than if she starts
out with her name and visiting milliner
engraved on her cards, which is also
a very good way of introducing ones
self to those who have need of her
services.

WHILE HIS WIFE WAS AWAY.
The Liberated Husband Hadn't as
Much Fun as He Had Expected.


The gateman at one of the passen-
ger depots in Detroit was approached
the other afternoon. says the Free
Press, by tall and weary-looking man
with beer stains on his vest and the
strings of mis- russell shoes united,
and when he had come quite near he
asked:

A BELOVED PRINCE.
His Last Thought Was of the Poor
People

More than three hundred years agol
handsome young prince came to
live at the court of the rich and ow-
erful King Charles V. This prince
who was but eleven years of age. had
left his pleasant home and his pious
parents because in those days it was
thought that only rs page ut a kings
! court could a young prince be suitably
educated. His name was William Of
Nassau. prince of Orange. He was
very charming in his manner, and sing
ularly free from those faults common
to children. asking troublesome qleS-
tons or repeating what grown people
say in their hearing. Therefore he
was allowed TO remain with the king
when he was talking with his minis
ters and advisers on very serious mat
tprS
When he grew up there was revealed
TO him plot of killing all his country.
men. but he wisely kept silent and so
he was thought TO be friendly TO the
wicked scheme. He thus learned all
the particulars of the plan and was
often called William the Silent, and
the Silent Prince. and his wise habit
of silence was of as much service to
his country as many of his other noble
qualities. for he was as truly good as
he was wise and great.
But King Charles, who loved this
William of Orange. left the throne and
allowed his weak and wicked son,
Philip of Spain to rule in his place.
Then the troubles of William began.
for Philip oppressed his countrymen in
all possible ways; it is dreadful to
read of his crueltieS. SO William en-
: couraged his cOuntrymen to rise
3 against Philip. The bad king then
tried every way to win William over
to his side. First he tried soft, fiatter-
ing words then he offered him high
positions and plenty of money, then he
tried harsh means: he took away all
! his property and stole from him one
of his sons. But all was in vain, this
wonderful man could neither be
coaXed, bribed, nor forced to turn
