WASHINGTON, April THE plan OF

conditions must be, but has received
most careful consideration by the naval
authorities. AS outlined by a high
naval officer, the plan is that in event

more ships, will Immediately start east,

Men a. Nurses.

There isn't one man in fifty thousand who
is a good nurse. The average man feels as
much out of place in a sick-room as a bull
must in a china-store. His heart may be
ever SO full of sympathy, but his feet are
heavy and his fingers clumsy.
In most cases when a Woman's general
health breaks down the original cause is
weakness or disease of the distinctly femi-
nine organism. The only permanent cure
lies in the correction of all these disorders.

Patches Have "Come In" Again.

No one must be Mortified by Dame
Fashions latest decree, as it is very
odd one, out of date for many years,
but like all old things sure to come
back again. Patches are to be worn
again, but Heaven for bid that, with
the wearing OF patches, paint and pow
der should come in. They seem to go
together, but, so far, it Is only said
that patches are to be worn on the face
neck and ans, when in full evening
dress. There is great art in placing
a patch, and the woman who studies
beauty of effect generally knows Just
where to put one. They are worn, as
one would suppose, to attract atten-
tion to the prettiest feature. If one
has a pretty ear, patch is put just
under the ear, on the neck; if the neck
is white, put one just where 1t will
show off the whiteness; on the left
cheek is a favorite place, and some
times they are worn even on the back
of the hand. The patches can be cut
out of black court plaster, in shapes
such as hearts, diamonds, stars, or
even plain round dots, but they must
be exceedingly small, and, above all,
put in the most becoming place.

FLOODED.
A Pipe Bursts on The Third Floor Of
the Mccullough Building.

Monday evening about seven o'clock
water began dripping through the
third and second floors OF the McCul-
Tough building on Greene street, where
Richardson's drug store is located.
The second floor of the building is
occupied by Mr.. Matt Prlmm as a
dwelling, and the thid floor is used as
a fraternity hall by the Alpha Di Gam
ma society of the College.
A pipe had burst wide open on this
floor and as none of the fraternity
could be found and the water soon
flooded the two floors down into the
ware room of the drug store. The
damage was very slight in the drug
store, but nice carpet and some fur
niture was ruined for Mr.. Primm.
The supply pipe was closed by valve
in the cellar and after this was done
the flood stopped, but the damage was
already done. AS consequence they
are doing without city water in that
buildirg for a few days.
