THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Wednesday Night.

The following is from the Atlanta,
Ga, Constitution: There was fun of
a pure and unauthorized order at De-
Gives last night. The house was
packed with an audience that revealed
in the beauties of Private Secreta-
ry," and from the time the curtain
went up until the end there was what
the festive advance agent would call
continued roar of laughter" That
comes pretty near expressing it. If
there ever was anything funnier than
''The Private Secretary" it hasn't
come this way. The play is in the
hands of an excellent company; it is
not a company that brags of stars,
but is company of excellent players,
each one fully competent. 1t is a
company built like the famous stock
companies of New York, and it is
doubtful if '"The Private Secretary"
was ever, during the several years it
has reigned a favorite, in better
hands.

knowledge.

Much Of the value of knowledge de.
ponds upon the way it is obtained.
Some of it is given to US, and we accept
it passively. Some is thrust upon us,
and we receive it unwillingly. Some
we crave and work for, and finally OBJ.
tain by means of our own thought and
researches. Of course in very early
childhood knowledge as we'll as every.
thing else must be given. This is nat.
ural and right, and so long as the giver
is judicious and not too eager the child Z
mind will thrive by it. Gradually,
however, as his powers unfold, this
constant giving loses it's value. The
time arrives when his mind needs de.
veloping, his curiosity awakening, his
faculties stimulating, and this work
should largely take the place of impart-
ing information. If it be done success
fully, he will soon show a desire for
knowledge Of various kinds and will
seek it with avidity, and whatever he
gains in this way will become vitalized
and part of himself 1t is slow and
gradual process, and we seldom have
the patience to pursue it. We have more
faith in our systems than in natures,
and we too often treat the child men.
tally as we would physically were we
to keep him in our arms and feed him
with spoon long after he was able to

The Nurses Great Danger.

People who are not aware of the con-
ditions do not realize the continual risk
incurred by doctors and nurses in hos
pitfalls, in the operating room and when
dressing sores. In spite of the most
stringent precautions, sterilized instru.
ments, antiseptio washes, etc., slight
cases of blood poisoning are not uncom.
mon, and the appearance of a nurse
with bandaged hand excites compare
lively little remark. The first signs Of
danger are SO quickly detected and
treated that there are few fatal cases.
A nurse whose infected finger had been
lanced to the bone and scraped said
cheerfully: II ought to be thankful
that shall not lose the nail Miss Saw.

How Dickens Wrote.

Stephen Fiske presents most inter.
esting pen picture of Dickens, his fam
lily and of Gadshill, where he was
frequent and welcome guest, in The
Ladies' Home Journal. OF Dickens
method Of work Mr.. Fiske says: dur.
ing my visits Dickens was not at work
upon novel, but he shut himself in
Fechter's chalet from IL a. m. to 8 D.
m. almost every day. This was another
part of his methodical system. If he
felt in the mood he wuld write an I'm
commercial Traveller article If not, he
would answer letters, read All the
Year Round proofs, jot down ideas or fill
up the time with some sort of literary
labor. This, he told me, was his self
discipline. The one room in the chalet
was sparsely furnished and had windows
on all sides commanding quiet, pleasant
views of fields and plantations. He sell
dom talked Of his books, but one rainy
day he showed me the bound manu-
script of one of them and told me his
method of planning a story. Having
selected subject, he would write down
the name Of the hero and surround it
with queries. Shall he be rich? Parents
or guardians? Defrauded of his prop
erty? An early lover and SO on with
the other characters as they occurred to
him. He always used blue ink, and so
did Yates and Halliday and the other
writers Of what was then the Dickens
school. They all called him chief, and
he liked the title"
