Calmness In Emergency.

Dr.. Weir Mitchell, lecturing to a
school of nurses lately upon the neces-
sity Of self control in emergencies, told
the following incident: Gone of his pa
tients, while in q low, nervous condi-
ton, swallowed by mistake dose from
the wrong bottle. She shrieked out that
she was poisoned. One of the nurses
screamed 'Aconite! and began to cry
Historically. The other nurse, seeing
that the patient was going into convul-
sions from terror, when relief would be
impossible, said ccolly: Don't be fright
ened. Look here, taking mouthful of
the dose herself. She then went outside
to rid her mouth of it, procured an
emetic and sent for doctor and stom-
ach pump. Her calmness saved the life
OF the patient. -

Old Time Servants,

Servants were servants away back in
1866, just as varied, in fact, as the
woman who bossed them, and both
were much as they are in this end of
the century year. Servants were fined
in those days for each trivial offense
a penny was thought enough to fine a
servant who left open door that should
have been closed, and the same fine did
service for missing family prayers or
leaving the beds of the house unmade
later than 8 o'clock in the morning.
The cook might have q beau, but she
had to pay a ine every time he came of
q penny. II such rules were enforced
now, madam would find herself with
out lady help in short order. --Phila.
