What a Trained Nurse Must Be.

sit takes an intelligent, refined woman
with strong will and good sound sense
to make good NURSE the superintend-
ent of large training school writes in the
April Ladies' Home Journal. "She must
be able to command the respect of her
patient. She must be sympathetic order
ly, dignified and incapable of betraying
alarm before her patient. She must be
ready and quick to act in any emergency,
but slow to assume authority that belongs
to her superiors. She must be of cheer
full, hopeful nature. With these at
tributes, joined to the practical knowl-
edge of arranging sick-room, preparing
the invalid's bed, removing of bandages,
the giving of medicines las well as under
standing their properties), knowledge of
cooking and desire to do her duty re-
CARELESS of her surroundings or of any
adverse criticism, she would be model
nurse. There is, of course, some theoret-
ical training through textbooks and
lectures to be gone through, but without
the other qualifications no woman can
become successful nurse"

Sherman Answers the Japanese

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Secretary
Sherman has submitted to the Japa-
nese Government an answer to Jap
ans last note relating to the annex
alton OF Hawaii to the United
States. The answer was delivered
to MIR. Hoshi, the japanese Minister,
last Saturday. 1t is in reply to
Japan's note of July 10, which up
to that time had not been acknowl-
edged.
Mr.. Sherman's answer is marked
by its friendly expressions toward
Japan, which gives especial satisfac-
ton in view of the somewhat strain
ed relations resulting from the pre-
vous correspondence. Two features
are brought out by the answer: 1t
reiterates the position heretofore
taken by the Secretary of State as
to the right and propriety Of annex
ing Hawaii to the United States.
With this, however, is coupled an
assurance that the interests Of Japan
in Hawaii will be fully safeguarded.
1t also expresses satisfaction at the
plan OF arbitration between Japan
aud Hawaii on the question OF Japa-
nese immigration to Hawaii.
The answer is largely in elabora-
tion of Mr., Sherman's former letter,
and the policies expressed in no way
differ from that previously laid down
by him.
Minister Hoshi has cabled the
substance Of the answer to the Toxic
government and the full text Of the
answer has been forwarded. 1t will
not reach Japan until September z,
and no action NAV be taken until
the text is before the Japanese for
eign Office. The Japanese Legation
is reticent over the dispatch, al
though there is no effort to conceal
the satisfaction over the friendly
feeling displayed throughout Mr.
Sherman's answer. The attention
OF the Toxic government has been
particularly directed toward these
expressions OF good will.

WV DIMOHU,S

So many different styles Of
oil stoves have been put on
the market during the past
ten years, that it was with
difficulty that the best could
be determined until the Primus
was introduced a year ago.
This style burns a kerosene
vapor and is non-explosive ;
you can turn it upside down
and no danger will result.
The oil tank cannot be fill
ed while burning as the re-
moval of the filler cap extin-
cuisines the flame instantly.
In point Of simplicity it has
no equal for it has no wick,
burns any grade of kerosene
and the flame can be regu-
lated. 1t produces a heat of
from POO deg. to 2600 deg.
Fair. and consumes one quart
of oil in five hours consecutive
burning. This means an eX-
pense of 2 cents per hour,
Nothing but solid brass is
used in the manufacture of
the Primus, and when in oper-
alton it is absolutely odorless.
1t will bring a quart Of water
to boiling in B minutes,
We have half dozen styles,
singles, double and triple
burners; extensions for sim
giles SO that three vegetables
