WOMAN AND HOME.
PROFESSIONAL NURSES.
Many of Them Earn from Twenty-On,
Dollars n Week Inward.

! Many of Them Earn from Twenty-One
Dollars n Week Upward.
Nursing as a profession is not a new
field for women, yet on inquiry it has
been found that the demand for trained
nurses far exceeds the supply. This
fact ought to be OF interest to those
who are asking: What can a woman
do to earn her own living?" Many of
the professions have become so over
crowded that the chances of obtaining
position are very smaz1 unless the
young woman has influence to work in
her behalf. A good trained nurse is al
most certain to be engaged all the
time, and the possession OF diploma
from any frst-class training school is a
guarantee that the graduate can earn n
livelihood and in most cases a very
handsome one.
This is profession to which many of
the noblest and most intellectual women
Of the past century have given their lives.
Who has nce heard of Florence Night
ingale? Here is her recommendation
Of nursing: Il give one-quarter of
century's European experience when l
say that the happiest people, the fond
est of their occupation, the most thank
full for their lives, are in my opinion
those engaged in sick nursing" Surely
it is no small privilege where work is so
well suited to womans capacity and
one thai is free from close competition.
1t is a mistake to think that it is
waste of time and money to obtain an
education before entering upon hospital
work. The cultivation OF the mind is
of no less value to Il trained nurse than
to women engaged in other pursuits,
and a well-educated. even Il college
educated woman, can do more, and gain
more in consequence. Nursing pays
better than almost any other work in
which women are at the present time
engaged; but let no young woman take
it up solely on this account. 1t must
in itself possess an attraction. The
successful nurse must first love the Ia
Dor. II is not easy, but very hard at
first, when one Is mastering the princi-
pies which lie at the basis of all good
nursing. There ought to be natural
ability for nursing and strong inclina-
ton to help the sick combined at the
start, but after that earnest, steady
work will count for more than any so
called genius. The nurse whose heart
is not in her work viii pass many
weary day from which little fore
thought would have saved her. But if
a girl thinks that she has a liking and
taste for the work. then by all means
let her go in and use every opportunity
to fit herself for it.
Twenty-one years ago it was said
that no refined, educated woman could
go through the training required to
make her trained nurse, while to-day

For the second time within two weeks
a lady has appeared at the criminal

portance is without Us training school.
Few people realize the value of sLillful
nursing. 1t is essential to the success
of every hospital, and there is no ply
stefan who would not be glad to have
such care for all his patients. A hos
pital-trained nurse is a luxury beyond
the majority of people, and she earns
anywhere from 81 week upward;
this outside her board, lodging and
washing, of course.
The height of good nursing consists
in what is done for the patients COM
fort outside of the doctors orders; the
ready tact, patience, that peculiar pow
er of soothing pain and suffering, the
knowing just what to do at just the
right time. The nurse must have good,
sound health; be truthful, honest,
trained in habits of neatnesS and
punctuality, kind-hear:ed and refined.

THAT baked custard is one of the

How to Make swallow Bows.

Swallow bows are now taking the
place of butterfly bows. and are made
in this way: Take stiff glace ribbon
two or three inches wide and cut one
end with long, sharp points like a
swallows tail. Place a loop below,
which represents the thickness of the
birds body, and then two side ends cut
in diagonal points for the wings. With
roSette as finish this makes a very
effective bow. A charming hat trimmed
with two of these swallow bows, one
on either side, was of black leghorn,
with huted brim and a full red June
rose in each dute.

HATCH'S HARVEST HANDS,
He Replies to the Charges of
Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald.
The Horticulturist Says Coolies Are
More Reliable Than White
LaborerS.

In Wednesdays CALL appeared dis
patch from Sacramento stating that Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald had informed
Governor Budd that number of State
officers are employing Chinese and Japa-
nese laborers upon their farms and vine
yards. He mentioned A. T. Hatch, the
using cody help.
Mr.. Hatch, when spoken to upon the
subject, said: 81 am afraid Mr.. FITZGERALD

Years ago l was one of the Horticultural
Commissioners, and subsequently was APP
pointed as one of the California World s
Fair Commissioners, but am not in either
commission now. l am member of the
State Horticultural Society, but that is a
private organization of fruit-growers, and
not State institution.
'As to employing Japs and Chinese, that
is fact. L do so because | don't have to
board them. l furnish the facilities and
they do their own cooking which saves

DIMENSIONS OF THE UNIVERSE.
1t Takes a Thousand Years for the Light
of Some Stars to Reach Us.

While, however, it is interesting to know
the distance of some of the stars in miles.
when stated in that way the numbers are
so large that they frequently convey very
lndlstlnct conceptions to the mind, writes
6. P. Serviss in the Chautauquan.
For this reason it is customary to esti-
mate star distances in light years" A
light year is the distance that light, moving
at the rate of 1856, 300 miles per second,
travels in one year. This amounts in
round numbers to $3.50, 600, 000, 900 miles.
The distance of Alpha Centauri is 4.35
light years; that of Sirius, the dog star, is
almost exactly twice as great, or Sc light
years.
to come to us from Sirius. And these are
among the very nearest of the stars. Some
whose parallaxes have been rather esti-
mated than measured appear to be sit
uated at distance which light could not
traverse in less than one or two centuries.
The great star Arcturus, for instance mas,
according to DR.. Elkin, a parallax of only
eighteen one-thousandths of a second. Its
distance must in that case be about 18l
light years, or more than 1,000, zoo, 900 600,
600, 900 miles. And if its distance is sc
great then, since light varies inversely as
the square of the distance from its source
it can be shown that Arcturus must
actually give forth 5000 or 5000 times as
much light as the sun yields.
Yet Arcturus is evidently much nearer
than the vast majority of the stars are
Not one in a million is known to have a
parallax large enough even to be intelli-
gently guessed at. There may be stars
whose light requires thousands instead Of
hundreds of years to cross the space sepa
rating them from us.
We thus see that only few points or
the nearer shores of the starry universe lie
within reach of our measurements; here
and there a jutting headland, while be-
hind stretches the vast expanse over which
the hundreds of millions of stars known tc
exist are scattered

EMANUEL SISTERHOOD.
Though Founded by Hebrews, 1t Is
Not Sectarian in It's Charitable
Work.

Work.
The first annual report of the Emanuel
Sisterhood for Personal Service has been
issued. Since its organization the society
has given aid to 424 families, continuing
its support till they became self-support-
ing.
The objects of the society, as laid down
in the report. are not entirely sectarian.
Primarily the organization was founded to
alleviate distress among the Jewish poor,
but many poverty stricken non-JewlSh
people have been assisted.
A good feature of the sisterhood is the
fact that no actual coin is given, for the
reason that it is believed that 1.-The promis-
cuous distribution of aims in the form OF
money helps to degrade the dignity of the
recipient" The society will however pay
rent, druggists bills, ETC., if the case war
rants its sympathy.
In connection with the siSterhood there
have been established an employment bu-
reau, relief committee, sewing school
and a storeroom and supply committee.
In concluding its report the committee
says:
"Our thanks are due Drs. Cluness, James
Lilienthal, 0. Meyer, A. z. Brown and S. S.
Kahn for their valuable services and the
promptness with which they responded
whenever called upon; also to A. II.
Smith, Waller Bros. and J. Isaacson, phar-
