the first year she may accept $50 a
month, and in case she takes charge Of
more than one child or of one who is
sick or dull and who requires extra care
she may get $S5 or $40.

passed a satisfactory examination the
candidate is admitted to the hospital foI
"a probationary term of one month. Il
everything goes well, she dons the hos
pital uniform and is admitted for a six
months course. During this period the
nurse receives So n month and her board
and lodging. This sum is not considered
wages, rs her training is thought to be
more than compensation for her services,
but it is intended TO cover her expenses
for uniforms and textbooks.
The training consists Of lectures by
doctors, courses Of reading, practical in.
struction by nurses and doctors at the
bedside Of the sick babies, classes and
quizzes, besides the knowledge that
comes from the practical care of the
babies in the hospital.
The schedule of instruction comprises
infant feeding, care of milk and bottles,
sterilization, etc. the daily bath and
the use of hot, cold and mustard baths
hygiene of the skin, nursery hygiene,
ventilation, temperature, cleanliness
training of children in proper bodily
habits; simple treatment in emergency
cases while waiting for the doctor IN
addition to all this the nurse is given q
course i'll elementary kindergarten work.
Having completed the course and
passed the final examination, the nurse
is given diploma and is ready to take
care of children in private families.
There is never the slightest difficulty III
getting positions for the graduates. AS
yet the demand for trained babies
nurses is greatly in excess of the sup.
ply.
During the first year of service the
baby's nurse receives $25 a month be-
sides her living. The wages are fixed by
the hospital, and during the first yea
the nurse reports her progress to the SUI
perintendent. If the mistress does moi
live up to her agreement as to the hours
of labor and leisure and the work re
! quired, the nurse is withdrawn from
her service. Very often mistress will
offer a nurse $50 or $50 month to in
duce her to leave her employer, but the
nurse is not allowed to accept more OF

and Reformer.
Mrs. Helen M. Cougar is an orator,
an Rgitator, an author and politician.
She has even been talked about as a
presidential candidate by the Prohibi-

women of this country She speaks
without manuscript or notes, rapidly,
but easily and with dignity. Mrs.
Cougar is the author of the law grant

Kansas, and the adoption of the measure
was largely due to her efforts. Her

and native of Michigan. She has
written freely but mostly upon reform
subjects.

Notwithstanding the fact
that we are receiving new
goods by nearly every steamer

States and from England, we
do sometimes get out of certain
lines of goods that are much
needed. We want our inquir-

have just received probably
the finest assortment of
Dog Collars and PadlOcks
ever offered here. In one lot
we had over SIXTY DOZEN, of all
sizes and kinds. We can fit
the largest watch dog or the
smallest japanese pug.
Those friends who have
asked so many times for Razor
Strops will be glad to know
that we have just received a
new supply of the celebrated
Reppenhagen Razor StrOps.
We have several other kinds,
all good. Our assortment of
Razors is full, having just re-
ceived a new lot.
We receive fresh
Ammunition
every month, and can supply
all kinds needed. Rifles, Shot
Guns and Revolvers always on

That new lot Of

has just arrived.
Also a fresh lot of
Cottage Paints,
Enamel Paints, Varnishes, Oils

We have sold thousands of

Rubber Garden Hose
lately and expect soon another
large lot running from ! inch

The demand for

CARBERRY'S CHRISTMAS.

Last Christmas there was a great sur
prise in the little town of Cranberry. For
years and years-ever since the boys and
girls could remembcr-there had been n
public celebration in the town hall with
a huge Christmas tree lighted from top to
bottom with candles and bright with all
sorts of presents for the boys and girls of
the village. Usually old Captain Conklin
in his big buffalo ovcrcoat. which was
buck.ed tight with string of sleigh bells
acted as Santa Claus and kept every enc
laughing and eNpectant as he passed out
the gifts, reading off the names one by
one in a h.g hearty voice.
But last year 1t was All different. 80
different, indeed. that Carberry Is going TO
try the same kind of celebration again
this winter. And it was quite unique
enough TO furnish IDEAS for any of our in
