A HOSPITAL NURSE.

portance is without its training school. Few people realize the value of skillful nursing. It is essential to the success oS every hospital, and there is no phy- sician who would not be glad to have snch care for all his patients. A hos pitSi-trained nurse Is luxury beyond the majority of people, and she earns anywhere from s21 a week upward; this outside her board, lodging and Srashing, of course.
 The height of good nursing consists In what is done for the patients com foTt outside of the doctors orders; the ready tact, patience, that peculiar pow CT 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 punetuality, kind-hearted and refined. --American Agriculturist.

WOMAN AND HOME.
PROFESSIONAL NURSES.

adznY of Them Earn from Twenty. One
 Dollars Week Upward.
 Nursing as profession is not a new 6e%6 for women, yet on inquiry it has been found that the demand for trained uur4es far exceeds the supply. This eact ought to be of interest to those ~ho are asking: What can woman do 10 earn her own living?" Many of the professions have become so over crowded that the chances of obtaining . position arc very small unless the yCnng 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 a diploma from any first-class training school is a guarantee that the graduate can earn a livelihood and in most cases a very handsome one.
 This is profession to which many of the Doblest and most intellectual women O2the pnst century have given their lives. Who has nos heard of Florence Night ingale? Here is her recommendation of nursing: "I give one-quarter of a ceDtury's European experience when 1 szly that the happiest people, the fond- est of their occupation, the most thank f9l for their lives, are in my opinion those engaged in sick nursing" Surely 1t Is no small privilege where work is so well suited to womans capacity and sne that is free from close competition.
 IL is a mistake to think that it is vsste of time and money to obtain an education before entering upon hospital work. The cultivation of the mind is of no less value to trained nurse than to women engaged in other pursuits, and q well-eduoated, even a college educsted 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 1t up solely on this account. It must in itself possess an attraction. The successful nurse must first love the la Dor. It is not easy, but very hard at frStr 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- eSsh oS hcAP IhS siSh oohulneo dV tho sfart- but after that earnest, steady SSork will count for more than any so- 3alled genius. The nurse whose heart is not in her work will pass many weary day from which a little fore thought would have saved her. But if s girl thinks that she has liking and taste for the work, then by all means let her go in and use every opportunity to it herself for it.
 Twenty-one years ago it was said that TO refined, educated woman could gr through the training required to make her trained nurse, while to-day -roS one of our hospitals of any im-

WITHOUT A LEADER.
Tho Democratic Party Wandering in
 Gloomy Uncertainty.

Gloomy Uncertainty.
 There is manifest force in the declara- tion of prominent statesman that the supreme misfortune of the democratic party at the present time is the wantof leader. The members of the organ ization are like an army that has lost its commander and scattered in all directions for lack of a master spirit to unite the various fragments and make them practically effective. In the na- ture of things President Cleveland should be his party's leader, but he is not recognized as such. On the con trary, he is regarded by the majority of democratic voters as a man who has abandoned the principles upon which he was elected and forfeited his claims to confidence and support. He is strong with a certain element Of the party, but it is not the element that counts for most at the ballot box. AL most all of the conspicuous democrats of the country are against him for one reason and another, and he gets more praise from republican than from dem- ocratic newspapers. It is obviously impossible for him to bring about CO., herence and harmony III the broken ranks of his party. He is more of a disturber than a coalcscer, so to speak, and every step that he takes tends to increase the discord and uncertainty.
 In all the list of other well-known democrats who might be supposed to possess qualities of leadership, there is
 
 tion. The fact that Vice President Stevenson is put forward in this rela- tion goes to show the discouraging na- ture of the outlook. He represents nothing more than respectable medi- ocrity, and has never done anything to justify belief in his ability to re- organize demoralized party and lead it to victory. Senator Hill is a man of considerably more political sense and influence, but he was terribly beaten in his own state last year, anc that has taken away his prestige, Senator Cor man is a skillful manipulator within certain limits, but his capacity is not equal to the present emergency. And so it is as to all the rest of those from among whom leader must be chosen if the party is to have one. They are leaders only in a restricted and inferior sense. The gift of solving large and difficult problems, of Concentrating ran dom energies, of inspiring party &C., tivity and determination, does not be- long to them. They are all sadly defec- tive in essential respects. The party is discovered and bewildered for want of man with sufficient wisdom to put it in the way of overcoming its misfortunes and regaining its potentiality as a factor in politics It is without lead CT, that is to say, and a party without leader is party that has nothing to expect but defeat.-St- Louis Globe Democrat

 For the second time within two weeks a lady has appeared at the criminal court building at Chicago in answer to jury summons. Mrs. B. K. Soden, 52O6 Kimbark avenue, is the latest one to receive such distinction. She is young and pretty, and was summoned to Judge Burke's branch the other morn- ing. A case of mayhem was on trial there, and when Mrs. Soden presented herself she was accompanied by her husband They stepped to the judges railing together.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

rY Dear meat is in part caused by the wholesale reduction in sheep and the supply of mutton, through the working of democratic free wool tar iff.-Philadelphia Press.
 The democratic party is after all in pretty happy condition as far as politics goes. They can't be made worse off no matter what happens. They are likely to be ''the third party" in the next contest.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 ey It is possibly mere coincidence, but peculiar one, that whenever the democratic managers look over the field and discover that they have no earthly chance of electing their candi- date they always begin to talk about nominating ''some good southern man" for president. That is what they are doing now.-N. Y. Tribune
 GY-A great many democrats are re- tiring from politics; others are simply becoming independent" or mon partisan" These are men who have to acknowledge that their party has made failure, but are still unwilling to acknowledge that they ought to be republicans. Simply because their party has failed is no reason why dcm- ocrats should expect all of us to be- come mugwumps. Iowa State Reg iSter.
 GB Since the supreme court of the land has declared the income tax law to be unconstitutional, there will prob ably be little dispute over the proposi- tion that the national revenues should be derived from customs duties. Such being the case, it seems obviously wise that the tariff should be so adjusted as to protect the American workman in the enjoyment of wages suitable to the American mode of living. HI. Il.

Then lay a dinner nap kln (serviette) over 8 glass, and place the orange in it, 80 as to rest on the top of the glass. With care, and very slow. ly, then gently move the dinner nap kin about to make tho orange roll, or loll, first one way and then another, like head. The motion gives the tea- lures the most fantastic expressions At one moment there is a smile which becomes a grin, and the next on read. justment the face resumes It's serious aspect. Then with fresh movements of the serviette come coaxing, concili- atory inclinatlonA entreaties, despair, polite arguments, simpering negatives and all sorts of languishing representa- tions.

How to Make Swallow Bows.

''Swallow bows" are now taking the pInee of butterfly bows, and are made in this way: Take stiff glace ribbon trNo 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 a rosette as finish this makes very effective bow. A charming hat trimmed with two of these swallow bows, one on either side, was of black leghorn, with fluted brim and a full red June ruse ia each flute.

THE TREASURY DEFICIT.
Complete Failure of tho Democratic Rev
 enue Scheme.

enue Scheme.
 Secretary Carlisle will live to rue the day when he made his notorious prophecy that the treasury deficit would be reduced to S2O, 900, 900 by the end of the fiscal year, and that even this would be wiped out before con- gress met again. Nobody thought at the time that he himself believed the statement, or that it was made with any other purpose than to deter con- gress from modifying the democratic- populist tariff programme.
 The prophecies which placed the yield from the income tax at 50,O0O,- GOO, with an absolute minimum of S30, ,0O0,0 ,000, were part and parcel of the same scheme of deception. Now that the returns for this tax are all in, the commissioner of internal revenue at Washington admits that the maximum yield of revenue from the income tax has dwindled to SlO,00O,0Oo, with the possibility that when the collecting is all done it will fall to a minimum of S5,OoO,00o. Thus, supposing that the tax yields the top figure, s10,000, ,0O0 there is still gap of S2O,OOO,OO deficit be- tween this and the minimum previous ly estimated, and it becomes neces- sary to add at least this sum to Secre- tary Carlisle's estimated deficit.
 The democratic revenue scheme has also failed no less signally in other re- spects, and the prospect i, that the deficit at the close of the fiscal year will be considerably over $50, ,OOO, ,OOO
 It is true that the decision of the su- preme court has had much to do with this enormous shrinkage. But grant ing that it has cut down the revenue from this source one-half, Secretary Carlisle's predicted receipts were still double what he had good reason to know they would actually be. And, as if to make his disgrace the more com plete, the revenue from the sugar duty has also fallen nearly 30 per cent. be- low the estimated receipts. The com bined result of these two facts and of the general falling off in importations on account of the hard times is to leave the treasury in a condition of collapse from which it can be rescued only by the continued issue of bonds until such time as republican legislative body can undo the deplorable work of the Ffty-third congress.
 In view of this state of affairs, the action of the late congress in refusing to make any provision for the issue of low-interest bonds, such as President Cleveland advocated, becomes doubly reprehensible.-Chicago Journal.

According to "Good Housekeeping" It Is
 Well to Remember
 THAT a small vegetable knife with e sharp point is handy kind to have to para fruits and vegetables with.
 THAT apples are dusty even befors they are picked from the trees They accumulate dust from being handled, from travelling, and various other ways
 THAT one of the best ways of pre-. pairing apples for any purpose Is to cut them in quarters before pairing, as the core is more easily taken out, and de- cayed places cut out,
 THAT snap beans arc much nicer cut fine with a knife than when snapped in two or three pieces as some prepare them. They need a generous piece ot butter when cooked.
 THAT baked custard Is one of the easiest things to make, and one of the easiest to spoil in baking, if left to its own devices. 1t must be made of fresh materials, and bakes better in 8 shal. low dish than in @ deep one.
 THAT fruits for the table, apples, pears, plums, oranges and peaches, should be wiped with a clean cloth, grapes looked over and washed lightly, red spiders are often found on peaches, spiders on grapes.
 THAT all green vegetables as a gen. eral rule should be cooked as soon aa gathered. Especially is this true of peas and corn. The former lose their sweetness very soon, and should be put into rapidly boiling water, (salted), boiled uncovered, if you wish the green color to remain; teaspoonful of sugar to quart of peas favors them nicely, a generous piece of butter added when cooked

GB The income tax outrage is only an incident of the general democratic record of disaster, dishonesty and im- becility. The crippling of the measure by the decision of the supreme court merely adds one more to the long list of democratic blunders and failures.
