NURSES IN INDIA.
Rules Which Govern Them Are very
Stringent and ConAne Then
Closely.

Judged by the standards which seem
to prevail in British India, the Phila-
delphia nurse-in spite of her increased
duties now that SO many sick soldiers
are under her care-must have an easy
time of it, says the Philadelphia Press.
Let her, at all events, read and take
comfort from these rules just promul-
gated for the benefit of the Nursing
Sisters" engaged in tending plague pa
tients in Calcutta:
Sisters must be in to dinners every
night, and must not leave the premises
after dinner, except with the leave of
the lady doctor. Such leave will not
be granted more than once a week.
The address at which the sis
ter will be must be given to the lady
doctor. Sisters going out driving are
required to let the lady doctor know
their destination and their escort Gf
any, and she is at liberty to modify
the arrangements made if she shall
deem it necessary. Visitors to the sis
ters must send in their card to the lady
doctor. Sisters to be in bed by II p. m
Visitors may be invited to afternoon
tea with the consent of the lady doctor
Ladies may occasionally be invited tc
other meals with the consent of the
lady doctor) at the expense of the per.
son who invites them"
This supreme "lady doctor" CORE,
spends to our head nurse, and sways 6
rule which extends to the very servants
of the nurses under her.

The Cleveland Lsader is either an
ass or we don't understand our business
The important question in this country
is not whether the people are going to
be loyal to this or that official, but
whether our officials are going to be
loyal to the interests of the people. 1t
ID getting high time thatsomebody threw
. brick clean through the moon-facej
idiots who seem bent on Transforming
this country into despotism. 1t is the
basic theory of our country that this
is a government of the people, for the

is government wholly maintained in
the interests Of certain officials.-U rbans

A few newspapers have taken it upon

A few newspapers have taken it upon
themselves to defend Gen. Esgan and
are very denunciatory of Gen. Miles for
having had the temerity to mention the
fact that the corn beef issued to the sol-
diers had been treated with chemicals in
the same manner that undertakers en-
balm dead bodies. They take every
thing Miles said as denunciatory of Presi-
dent Mckinley and seem to consider
that the President can do no wrong.
What was the trouble With the corned
beef We do not know, but 1t is fact that
every enlisted man in the Third Ohio
thought it was rotten and many were
made sick by eating it. No one thinks
that the President was directly respon-
sible but no man rises too high in the
United States to be criticised and if he
attempts to shield Gen. Esgsn BY hav-
ing abuse heaped OF Gen. Miles by Q
partisan press the wrath of the American
people will not be particular about the
person on whom the blame rests 90 1t is
the one who was responsible. The hun
dreds of brave boys who died in tho
camps on account Of the greed of con.
actors and dishonesty Of officials sre
crying for vengeance and no man or set
of men dare inflict punishment on the
few army officials who are brave enough
to speak the truth.-Hillsboro Herald.

Governor Roosevelt on ffrage.

Col Theodore Roosevelt, the newly
elected Governor of New York, is some-
thing of rough rider" in peace as we'll
as in war. He hes ridden rough-shod
over old prejudices by recommending
woman suffrage in his inaugural mes
sage to the Legislature. This has stir
red up great commotion in New York.
No Governor of that State ever did such
. thing before.
Gov. Roosevelt, however, has prece-
dent, and good one. Our Secretary of
the Navy, Hon. John D. Long, before
being promoted to his present dignity,
was Governor of Massachusetts, for
several terms, and he always recon-
mended woman suffrage to the Lsgisla-
ture in his messages. O.her Massachu-
setts Governors who have recommended
it we're Clsfin, Washburn, Talbot, Amea
and Greenhalge. But hidebound old
Massachusetts, has always hung back
from following the lead of some of hel
ablest men on this question, and hide
bound old New York will very likely dc
the same for some years yet. Sooner OF
later, however, all the States are bound
to "join the procession. marching ir
the direction Of equal rights.

SPANISH SOLDIERS.
Their Return to Spain Will Sorely
Embarrass the Nation and Has
ten q Crisis.

"a Spaniard" in the Fortnightly Re
view says: The loss of our (Spanish)
colonies means the absolute disappear
ance of all industry and commerce
which the inhabitants of those islands
were forced to support. Factories,
workshops, magazines-an must be
closed, and thousands upon thousands
OF operatives turned adrift on the
world, homeless and helpless. A hun
dred thousand soldiers will come home
to swell their ranks, sickly, mutilated
men, no longer needed to fight their
country's battles, and no longer able to
carry on the struggle for existence un-
der the ruins of the old order of things
The greater number of 10000 military
officers will be deprived of their COM
mand and placed on the reserve list,
where the pay is such that captain,
who generally has a wife and family to
support, receives about 2s I'D q day.
Agriculture, which is dying out,
cannot support these legions of
famishing men, women and chill
dren, nor are soldiers the kind
of people who take kindly to the hard,
humdrum life of the fields When these
multitudes have felt the pinch Of hun
ger, and see themselves thrown back
upon the laws of nature to keep them
selves and their loved ones from dying,
then the internal crisis will have begun
in very truth, and the tocsin of the rev
olution will have sounded. In that day
the army will decide, by it's attitude,
whether Carlists or republicans shall
triumph.

Quarrels0meness.

God has penalty for the work Of

mains in the heart q feeling of disgust,
awakened by belief that he has mot
been faithful to strong and candid
manhood. Anger is poor weapon. It
strikes wildly. 1t never reaches its
mark. 1t never makes . cause better.
When one quarrels with . neighbor,
both are hurt. In the very nature of
things, this is e.. The essence of the
universe is harmony. Kindness is har-
mony. The large end of Christianity

like to hear debate sometime on Il
question, which is better, q quarrelsome
Christian or kindly-tempered Pagan.
We believe the latter side would win;
for indeed, a peevish, qusrrelsome nature
has not even its own selfishness to Justify
it. 1t is plain and unsdultered de-
pravity. 1t is the origin of endless sor-
row and crime.-Ironton Register.

Our reporter, who has just completed
q three weeks tussel with the grip, tells
what he knows about it:
The grip is made up of the following
ingrediencet: First, six very severe
colds iammed into your system at one
time, with bad headache, neuralgia OF
the jaws, sore throat. pains in the
shoulders, chest, back. stomach, bowels,
kidneys, etc. Also aches in the hips,
extending down the marrow in your
bones to the ends of your toes. Cold
and hot flashes are quite numerous
about your body. and you can have the
grip with fever or without, just as the
grip sees fit. You spend most of your
time coughing and expectorating, and
the only thing that will lay on you
stomach is the grip. You have nc
appetite and you become very melan-
choly. If you have the above symptoms
you can call it the genuine grip.-Ex.

Glance at your family cat or your fox
terrier, or the cows in the field. All
their markings, and those of nearly all
domesticated animals are notified and
totally irregular. This is the curious
result of domestication. Wild animals
are, as a rule, marked with beautiful
regularity. Look at the stripes of the
tiger, the spots of the leopard. the abb
solutely even streaks on the zebra's
coat, and a dozen other similar in
stances. There is very little doubt
that all these animals colors could be
changed if they were tanned by man
and kept in captivity for few genera
tions. Fancy a black-and-tan tiger, or
a leopard with the irregular markings
of q tortoise-sheu cat.

The Prayer Of Agassiz.

Great scientists are usually devout,
reverent, thoughtful. Men of smaller
caliber are sometimes aippant, skept-
ical and profane.
The "Christian Union", speaking Of
the speech of Prof. Agses'z, at the
opening of the Anderson School Of
Natural History, says:
"After few opening words, felici-
tously suited to put all their minds into
fellowship, Agassiz said, tenderly and
with touching franknese:
"'I think we have need of help. I
do not feel that can call on any one
here to ask for q blessing for us. I
know 1 would not have anybody pray
for us at this moment. ask you for .
moment to pray for ourselves
Upon this this the great scie ntist-in
an age In which 90 many other scientists
have concluded that praying is quite an
unecientifc and very useless proceeding
bowed his head reverently; his friends
and pupils did the same; and there in
silence that was very solemn and very
beautiful, each spirit was free to crave
of the Great Spirit the blessing that was
needed.
For our own part, it seems to us that
this scene of Agassiz and his pupils with
heads bowed in silent prayer for the
blessing of the God Of nature to be given
to that school then opened for the study
of nature is q spectacle for some great
artist to spread out worthily upon cam
vas, and to be kept alive in the memories
of mankind. What are coronations,
royal pageants, the parade Of armies, to
a scene like tlliel 1t heralds the coming
Of the new heavens and the new earth
the golden age when nature and man
shall be reconciled, and the requests Of
truth shall supercede the conquests Of
brute force

One of the most influential men in

letter from a boy, asking him if he
would not find him an easy place

an editor. Do not try the law. Do not
think of the ministry. Lst alone all
ships. shops, merchandise. Abhor poll
tics. Don't practice medicine. Be
not . farmer or mechanic. Neither be
q soldier or sailor. Don't work. Don't

We heard a crowd discussing this
problem the other day. A. owed B SIS
and gave him 500 bill. B. stepped into
q bank, got it changed, and paid A SIS
Shortly afterward, the cashier discover

he went to B. and required B to redeem
it, which he did, paying back $40. Now,
how much did B lose? The answers
were varied-$40. $50 500, SIS, and moth.

off were the most strenuous in their

The whole country will approve the
resolution of Senator Gray, thanking
Miss Helen Gould and providing that .
gold medal be made in her name and that
it be presented to her by the President
in person. Miss Gould is q young wo-
man of wealth and she spent her money
lavishly on soldiers and sailors of the
late war. Not only this but she gave
500. 900 to the government at the be
ginning of the war, while her presence
at Camp Wyccff was a benediction to
many sick soldier. The country will
say amen to @nv ec'i'n Congress may

selfish acts and deeds.
