They Are the Latest Feature in Ice
Kinks This Winter.
The newest feature Of interest in the
New York Ice Kinks is the use Of glass;
skates. 1t Is found that skates with glass
runners are far better, both for speed and
ease In gliding for pleasure, than are the
skates with metal runners, and several
pairs are now being used in one OF the

ceeded in reducing the glass to a hard
ness that insures an edge which practical y
never becomes blunt. The temperng pro-
cess remains a secret, but it Is a fact thai
severe contact with hard ice does not frac-
ture the glass.
TO look at these skates one would not
suppose they were made Of anything else
than metal, for the runners arc always
colored In order to disguise the substance
Of which they are made. The colorIng pro-
cess is arbitrary, and tints in the case Of
ladies' skates are always made to cor
respond with the colors Of the wearer's
costume. The runners of these glass skates
are attached directly from the heel I'D the
back. The combination not only gives a
skate which is perfectly easy IN motion.

Thousands Whose Situations

A man lies fiat on his back, bound so that
be cannot move an inch. He is in dun
geon, at first dark as well, but in a few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows
mechanical figure of Time with his scythe.
The figure dcscends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, he will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of
dreadful death is type of large class of I'M
fortunates who, entangled in the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. If so, like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices a weakness of the hearts ac-
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by a peculiar witch
ing of the muscles, a numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse of the
ocrvous system The victim now becomes

DIE TING THE SICK.

To provide sick person with nu-
tritious food of proper quality and
quantity is one Of the most important
requirements of nursing. Not all cases
of sickness call for the observance of
asepsis and antisepsis; medicines may
be used sparingly or not at all, and
the principles Of hygiene may be SO
well known by the household that the
nurse is relieved from care or that
score; but the problem of diet is ever
present. What may the patient eat is
question that constantly presents it.
self to the nurse.
1t is well known that drugs cannot
take the place of food. They only rally
vital forces for time, or else, by modi-
Tying circulation, restrain the consum-
ption of materials previously supplied
by food. Generally they act either as
whip or a check, and soon become
useless when the function of nutri-
ton is disregarded.
Not only is The feeding Of the sick
an important matter because of its re-
lation to vital processes, but it is a
dif6cnlt one. The skill and knowledge
requisite for scientific feeding cannot
be gained IN day, and from what We
have seen and heard of the various
training schools for nurses, this branch
of instruction does not in all cases re-
ceived the attention which its impor-
tanee merits. Many physicians, toe,
feel lack Of knowledge in this mat
ter, and happy indeed is he who finds
trained nurse capable of formula
ting the patients menu. Many of
our larger hospitals now have diet
kitchens, and it would be well indeed
if every training school in the land
had well-equipped laboratory for the
study of foods ard their prepara-
ton.
The nurse who has had the good
fortune, Industry and application to
become proficient in the science of
feeding the sick will have no occasion
to complain of lack of cases; for no
matter how much we may theorize on
the relation of the public, the pbysi-
clans and the nurses, it is the perso-
ma proficiency that must count with
trained nurses as we'll as with doctors.
