lage. after dinner Of rice and fish, was
led to believe that at last spot had been
found where things were to be as they
always had been. But on returning to
the village last summer, there stood at
the door little maiden with delightful
smile of rejoicing, as she proudly showed
in one hand an unmistakable nickel-plated
American alarm clock, and in the other
an unbroken tin.foiled stick of chewing
gum. Verify our civilization had arrived
| The next day, however, in village even
more remote, a still greater surprise
awaited me; for, displayed prominently
on blank wall, with an admitting crowt
about it, was veritable poster; and {
few more days showed that this innova

common and highly popular. Every tea

Qualities of a Good Nurse.

A nurse who is indifferent and pre-oc-
cupied in her manner or speech in the sick
room can never be successful. Herpaticnt
is i'll and suffering, but anxious to get
well. His sicknessis to him the most I'M
portant thing on earth. His nurse and
doctor are his principalreIiance for recov-
erv. A halfhearted, indifferent, needless
answer to some question which may seem
of grave Importance to the patient may
blot out his hope for health and be the
cause of relapse, or even of fatal end

up and set him down very firmly on

Stock Market on the Whole Ruled Weak
 and Unsatisfactory,

New York, Sept. 11--The stock mark ct at the opening ruled weak and in the first ten minutes or so of business prices declined from II to 1 per cent. Lower cables from London and a re- port that the Bank of England rate of discount would be advanced to per cent account for the weakness of the market at that time,
 Louisville and Nashville was mark ed exception the first transactions showing a gain of F per cent. Subse- quently the stock moved up to AZ against 991s at the close on yesterday. The strength of the stock was brought about by the decision of Judge Speer ordering the restoration of rates by the Seaboard line and the Southern States Freight association.
 Southern stocks have been freely sold of late on the apprehension that the roads had entered on a ruinous war fare. Judge Speer's orders, however, put an entirely different complexion on affairs and this was fully appreciat- ed by the bears to-day.
 The rise in Louisville and Nashville checked the downward movement in the general list and later on when 1t was rumored from London that indica- tions pointed to- additional shipments of sS0,0OO, 900 gold yito New York the market developed greater strength.
 Call money lent at 4 per cent and when stock exchange borrowers had supplied their wants unemployed bal ances were offered at 2 per cent, and this added to the bullish feeling. The heavy deposits of gold at the sub- treasury also assisted those operating for higher prices.
 The advances ranged from M to 25s per cent. outside of Lackawanna, which jumped GA to 15S, on governing of a long outstanding short interest,
 Sugar rose 21s to 115%, Tobacco 1a te 65A, Burlington 215 to 6S, Chicago Gas 2 to COZ, Northwestern IFS to 9S7s, St Paul 2 to 71as, Rock Island 2as to 60S Manhattan 21a to S41a, Jersey Central 1a4 to 101s4, Reading 1 to 15%, South ern Railway preferred 11a to 2l&, Ten nessee Coal and Iron IFS to PTS, United States Leather preferred IA to 50A, and Western Union 1B to S1A.
 Specialties closed firm in tone, the usually active issues showing net gains of A@2B per cent.
 Bonds were strong. Total sales were only s6S2,000.
