Men as Nurses.

There isn't one man in fifty thousand who
is good nurse. The average man feels as
much out of place in a sick-room as 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 won1an'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.

that invariably cures all ailments of this
nature without local treatment and

No Good Map of Cuba.

may not seem like a very important mat
ter especially to those who are accus-
toned to think of Cuba as an out-of the
way part of the world in which many
characteristics of n new and unexplorcd re-
gion are pardonable. In reality, however,
this lack of maps and charts shows the
quality of the Spanish rule as clearly as
do the murders of n1n-conbatants or the
wholesale misappropriation of public
funds about which every correspondent
has so much to say. As countries in the
new world go, Cuba is very old. The

From the Illustrated American.
An attaohe from one of the legations in
Washington said to me The other day.
Diplomacy couldn't get along without
the cigarette For hundreds of years am
bassadors used the snuff box as a dis
courager of impulsiveness and temper.
You can't think of Talleyrand for in
stance, without his precious snuff box.
Recall the paintings and prints of the
picturesque ole fellow; he seemed to be
always Offering a pinch of snuff to some
other smlrking chap. When passions be-
came strained or things that ought not
TO be said were likely to be forced out by
sly remark OF ones adversary, or an
unexpected situation developed, the pass
ing of snuff always against time. The
cigarette does the same business now.
The cigar is too big and too heavy for
many men, but the cigarette is dainty and
| harmless, and If IL does anything, 1t
steadies the nerve for the time. 1t is IL
graceful thingto offer; It affords a chance
for polite smile; 1t helps a fellow to get
an impassive face and most Of all IL
makes him careful in speech. Why the
world never will know how often even
| war has been averted by the cigarette.
There is always a war of diplomats be-
fore the open war of nations, and that
little roll of tobacco has again and again
during the last ten years been spell of
peace among ambassadors when irritl-
tion had got the better of them and
any moment might hear the irrevocable
words which would precipitate war. All
the senStiVeness of a whole nation is
sometimes tingling in the person of 'ts
one ambassador during a critical inter-
view, and | could tell you strange stories
were ! at liberty. which I have gathered
among the diplomatic corps of various
capitals of how international anger has
been soothed by the smoke of cigar
