Philadelphia Times.
In these days to be tremendously swell
you must have a sweeping skirt and drag
it recklessly through the dirty streets with
an air of indifference, which plainly says
there are plenty more skirts to be had when
this gets unsightly. you must not only let
it drag along behind, but on the sides and
in front, where your own feet are the ones
which get often entangled and not those
Of your NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
On no account must you lift a fold Of
this drapery unless you desire to be stamped
as hopelessly vulgar. The single exception
is the pretty trick of a few graceful ac-
tresses who relieve the embarrassment of
their feet by grasping a fold Of the gown
near the front. On rainy days you may es-
cape thraldom by wearing a short skirt
which is such common practice as to fail
TO attract more than casual attention. All
this is reckless extravaganza but fashion
caters only to those who can and will spend
IaYlshly, and we of moderate means, being
bllnd to our own interests follow sense
less mandates with dire results oftentimes.
There is a little excuse for this in our
intense desire to look well. If we were will
ing to sink our American pride and stamp
ourselves middle class or even lower IN the
social scale could adopt pretty, SEN
sIble method of dressing which would relieve
our bodily and mental strain to make one
dollar look like five, or at least do the pre-
sumptive duty of five. Such dresses would
be like the national costume of other cOun-
tries and that would never be tolerated in
q country where money is the only class
distinction, the one dividing line.
So we will go on trailing through the filth
Of the modern city draperies fashioned
after those destined for carriage wear by
our richer neighbors They are unmistak-
ably becoming, but oh, how unhealthful,
disgustingly dirty! l remember hearing the
result of an examination at Harvard of
square inch of cloth taken from the hem
OF woman's skirt. don't remember the
exact figures, although / committed them
to memory, but they are terrifying to one
who fears microbes and bacteria. There
were many scores of families on that scrap
of cloth and hundreds of members in each,
and all were equipped with health-destroy
ing property. l think the largest family was
made up of the germs which attack the
lungs and never release their hold until
death ends the struggle. That was in the
days of shorter skirts, when microbes were
not swept up as they are now, but rather
cast up and retained their hold by the ten
acity which destructive things seem to pos
sass. ! don't believe / would care to hear
the result of an investigation of the modern
gown. / don't believe it would do any good
if it were published and scattered broad
cast throughout the land.
Because of these sweeping draperies the
beautiful silk petticoats which used to serve
as an excuse for holding up the gown have
fallen into disfavor They are displayed con-
spicuously in the shop windows and marked
down to tempt the woman who cannot re-
sist q bargain, whatever it is, but they are
no longer in good form.

The Shirt waist Arrives.

New York Sun.
The cotton shirt waist has made its annual
appearance. Some gay the shirt waist is
especially suited to the needs of the poor
woman, but experience has proved that her
rich sister finds just as much use for it..
There is nothing startlingly new about the
first display of shirt waists For the most
part they are made of fine ginghams and
cheviots in delicate colorings, and are some
what less fancy in design than those of last
year. Most of the materials are striped
either vertically or in Bayadere effect.
White waists promise to find even greater
favor than formerly, and some of the shirt
waist girls have already declared their in
tention of wearing no other.
The white waist certainly has some adj
vantageS. 1t does not fade and as a rule
takes starch well, which those made of too
soft bingham refuse to do. On the other
hand, white is not so becoming generally
as some of the soft shades, and it is es-
pecially trying in thick cotton goods, such
as are used in the swell waist. Most women
who last season. tried shirt waists made of
washable silk say that they will never wear
tTavagant to one who looks no further than
the first cost, for silk at less than Is cents
or 81 a yard cannot be depended upon to
wash we'll. But such silk wears at least
three seasons and does not fade in the least.
Added to this, it has the merit of being soft
cool and becoming. and is to be had in the
most exquisite colorings. The plain silks
make quite dressy waists, while those that
are striped have no end of style.

Severe Training Which Nurses Take

Severe Training Which Nurses Take.
Philadelphia Press.
For hospital nursing a woman's age must
be between twenty-three and thirty-thre
years, as younger than twenty-three she is
not capable of judging for herself, and over
thirty-three the habits and characteristics
are too firmly fashioned. perfect physical
condition and a successful examination in
reading, writing, spelling, simple arithmetic
and English dictionary will admit her to the
training school for two months, during
which time she receives free board and lodg-
ing.
If the two months probation is satisfac-
tory the candidate becomes a member of the
busy school, dons the uniform and works
in earnest. If ticketed as day nurse her
hours will be from a. m. to 6 p. M, with
a short time each day for open-air exercise,
one half holiday each week and half of Sun
day. She is personally instructed in the
manner of dressing blisters, burns, sores
and wounds, the preparation and applca-
ton of lamentations, poultices, cups and
leeches, the management of helpless pa
tients, making of beds, changing clothing,
giving baths, prevention and treatment of
bedsoreS, best methods of friction to the
body and extremities, bandaging and the
making of bandageS and linen splints, care
OF patients rooms, airing and warming
rooms a limited number of emergencies and
how to treat them, and the preparation and
serving Of food for the sick.
This would seem enough to fill up every
minute of the time, yet there are other
things to do. There are the observations
and reports to the physician in charge-very,
very accurate they must be-not in the case
of one patient only, but of two or three, and
perhaps more. And there must be found
time to attend the lectures and take notes
upon them-yes, and absorb the result into
a well-regulated brain that win stow it
away and produce it when wanted. Implicit
obedience in every matter, cheerful face
and manner and an infinite stock of patience
must be added to all this and there you
have the main part of q nurses life.

| The government has done a great
deal of work on the upper river this
summer. The Mississippi has been
well treated by congress, and the
father of waters is in better shape for
navigation than ever before. The
work has furnished employment for n
large number of men at good wages.
| But the rafting business is in its last
DAYS. The cause for its existence is
being rapidly removed, and conse-
9uently its days are numbered. Capt.
Carpspter, of Winona, is one of the
pioneer rafting captains. and in an in
terview he tells of its decline as fol-
ows: u
II think the days of rafting on the
Mississippi are fast drawing to
close. / believe that in three years
from now there will be little ratt.,n
done. and most of the mills along the>
river will be closed. At Winona, the
Youmans Bros. & lodgings company
business, selling what standing pine
they had to the Mississippi Logging
company, this being the case all
along the river. At Clinton and
Lyons during the past six years seven
employed $500 hands on shore and
seven steamers were employed to
supply them with RATS. These seven

The Youmans mill at Winona kept a

they operated.
Lack of Piue.
The effect of the closing of the
mills because of lack of pine for them
is Il serious thing when viewed by a
man in the rafting business. and in
contemplation of it decided it was
time to get out of the steam boating
work, and so we sold the Lafayette
Lamb.
There is another thing which is
knocking out the saw mills along the
river and putting a stop to the raft
ing business. Syndicate men are
buying up all the standing lumber
they can find in the north, and the
mills are being erected and operated
among the pineries. There they can
manufacture the lumber cheaper than
the river mills can have the logs
brought down to them and manufac-

ADVANCE IN GOLF BALLS
VIII Add Considerably to Cost of the

Will Add Considerably to Cost of the
Sport.
Local golf enthusiasts will not hail
with particular delight the inform T.
ton that the price of golf balls is to be
advanced at once. 1t is estimated
that there are 1000, 600 of these play
things needed in the United States TO
provide against the demand next sea-
son and the gutta percha of which
they are manufactured i rising in the
market. The blame for this is laid
on the demand for the same material
in the manufacture of submarine ca
bles, and the Scotch golf ball factories
have more orders now than they know
what to do with. The price of crude
gutta percha has gone up from so
cents TO $l.25 per pound. and it takes
81 worth of this material to make a
dozen golf balls. During the process
OF refining there is a third of the
crude material lost, so that pound
of the finished product of which these
balls are made is worth 81 65. The
advance will add considera bly, to the
cost of an already expensive sport.
