the dishes all cleaned and put away, she
is allowed an hour for recreation, and she
is expected to spend this time in the fresh
air, If possible. The afternoon is devoted
to a continuance of the necessary attention
to the patients, with the exception of about
half an hour, about o'clock, for supper.
AT o'clock she comes off duty for the
day and her time belongs to herself I'M
til Q, when she is made to go to bed and
get nine hours sleep.
From Z until Q the girl can do as she
pleases. but must in no instance leave the
hospital without the express permission of
the person in charge of the institution.
This is imperative.
The girls use this time in various ways.
Some of them who live in the town in
which the hospital is located go to their
homes, while others go out to meet their
best fellows and have a stroll. Others
stay in the hospital and devote the time
to reading or study. or else they put in
the time getting their wardrobes into
shape. as.. -.....ss.5si - +.
At times and by special permission they

this is not allowed, and, on the contrary.
is very much tabooed, il being the idea OF
many that when a girl taxes up nursing
she should put all society and such things
out of her mind, certainly until the COM
pletion of her course, which requires ev-
cry attention. and must not be shared
with thoughts Of balls. parties and such
indulgences. All thoughts of this kind
must be cast aside, and longing for them
will but make the course harder, and IL
is hard enough at best.

sions of this kind are not, however, en-
couraged.
On the whole, girl should think we'll

ing up her mind to take up the profession.
She should weigh the whole situation, TAX

ton to be decided off hand by any man

mind to enter the school, she should use
her best efforts during the term OF proba-
tion to determine her fitness for the chos-
en- work. and she should not in the least
mind leaving the school at the end of the
probationary period If she feels that she
is not thoroughly satisfied in every par
ticular discontinued nurse is worse
than no nurse at all She not alone makes
her own life miserable, but jeopardizes
the life of her patient.

A NEaRo's VIEW OF CREATION.
His Opinion on the Origin of His
MulnttO Brethren.
(From the New York Commercial Ad

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
The following incident was told by
missionary. one OF the delegates TO the
Ecumenical Conference. who has spent the
greater part of his life among the sayages
OF South Africa.
Travellers in that country arc always
much impressed BY the intense dislike
which the pure negroes evince for IN ir
mulatto brethren. The doctrine Of uni
versal charity is perhaps the hardest OF
all the Christian teHets for them to ac-
cept. particularly as applied TO the mu-
lattoes. Talking upon this subject With
native chief, the missionary observed one
day:
"But why don't you love the irulattoes:
they are men Just like yourselves. and all
Gods children"
mo, no. responded the black. stalking
his head energetically: "Gcd make coffee.
God made milk, but God never make coiiee-
milk"

June 10 is the date fixedfor the blessing Of
the Roman Catholic Chapel at West Point.
The event is, designedly, not to be marked
by any unusual ceremonies. In accord
arce with the advice OF Cardinal Gibbons
there will be only a moderate display OF
military.
For more than twenty-five years the
Catholic element has been endeayoring
to secure permission to erect chapel at
West Point, not alone for the benefit OF
the cadets of the Academy who adhere to
the Catholic faith, but in behalf OF the
families of enlisted men, dome5tics I'M
ployed by officers. and other residents on
or near the reservation.
The new Roman Catholic Chapel stands

at the northeast corner. The interior is
finished in oak, and the seating capacity

The decorations, not yet all complete,
suggest nothing of the military, as one
might expect from its location. but are
thoroughly ecclesiastical. A feature is the
fine organ, already in place. and an effort
is to be made to have a musical service Of
unusual excellence. The name selected is
Holy Trinity. The cost is $4,000, and while
it has not been possible to place a mort
gage upon it, there is an Indebtedness for
its construction. so that on the first Sunday
in Whitsuntide it will not be consecrated,
but only blessed.

Appleton Tribune: The dam
age done to grain by the unpre-
cedented drouth has not been in
the least exaggerated. In the
town of Appleton and surround
ing towns where it has been
asserted that not more than half
a crop would be cut, we now
state from personal observation
and examination that no crop at
all will be cut in many cases, even
under the most favorable cir
cumstances from now on. The
prospect is most discouraging,
and while it is no cause for con-
graduation, yet, on the theory
that misery loves company 1t
is some consolation to know that
most parts of the Northwest are
in as bad or even worse state
than we. We have been in Apple.

season like this, SO it is foolish

Figures that tell Volumes.

Exports from the United States
to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the
Hawaiian. Philippine and Samoan
islands will reach $45, 600, 900 in
the fiscal year which ends with
the present month, which will be
more than three times as much
as in 1896, aud more than twice
as much as in any year of our
commerce with those islands ex.
cept in the years 1892, 1893 aud
1894, when reciprocity greatly
increased our exports to Cuba
and Puerto Rico.
To Cuba the total for the fiscal
year seems likely to be fully
$25, 600, 900 against $7,53O.0OO in
the fiscal year 1896, and 1924, 1877
600 in the great reciprocity year
1898, when exports to that island
were more than double those OF
five years earlier. To Puerto
Rico the exports of the year will
be, in round terms, 50, 600, 600,
against an average Of 50, $50, 600
in the reciprocity years 1892,
1898 and 1894, when exports to
that island were double those Of
ea-lier years.
To the Hawaiian islands the
total for the year will be about
$15, 900, 600, or five times as much
as in 1898, nearly four times as
much as in 1896 and more than
double the total of 1898.
To the Philippines the total for
1900 will be about $2,5OO,OOo, or
more than in the entire fifteen
yesrs since 1885, the date at
which the first record of our ex
ports to the Philippines was
made by the treasury bureau
Of statistics.

almost every American Pub
licatiOn Examined.

There is, perhaps, but single place
in this country where almost all the
newspapers of the United States are
read. To the Exchange Bureau ofThe
Ladies' Home Journal practically
every paper in this country comes-an
aggregate OF nearly 5000. It is the
rule to read each on within q day after
it Is received, SO large staff OF train
ed readers is kept in close touch with
the reading public, and accurately in
formed as to the topics that are upper
most in the public mind in every sec
ton Of the country. In this reading,
such selections are made as may be OF
special immediate interest, as we'll as
matter for future reference and notes

relating to the Journal is clipped and

in the government Of it, and
it is not to be used lig ghtly.
There are too many of us who do
! not value our great privilege at it's
true worth. We become attached to
one party or the other, why, many of
US do not known, and to the end of
our days we go on voting that party
without further thought or consider
alton. This is not a proper use to
make of our privileges-it does credit
neither to our intelligence nor our
manhood. When we fail to sit in
judgment on our representatives and
honestly decide for ourselves whether
or not they have been benefit to the
country and have done what is best,
or at any rate what appeared to be
best for it, we step down from the
high position which is ours as the
supreme power of the land, and be-
come the mere tools of parties and
party leaders. It is time the elector
realized his position and the real i'm
portance of his vote; when he does we
may look for something better in our
politics than mere party squabbling.
When the voter makes up his
mind to sit in judgment, the aim of
the politician will not be as now to
prove case against the other fellow
but to make out a case for himself.
1t will not long be case of trying to
prove which has done the least wrong,
but one of proving which has done the
most good.
Already the local pot has begun to
simmer and let me say right now that
it is here the real Independent voter
can most assuredly cast the intelli-
gent vote.
Scanning the list OF candidates for
local Office, as it lays before me, be-
come thoroughly convinced that there
Is no lack of timber for Office in
Grant county at least. Thirty -four
candidates are already in the arena,
and let me say it with pride, we have
right here in Grant county some Of
the best to be found in any county in
the United States.

rise in the price of wheat during
the past few weeks and the stor
les Of small fortunes made with

many people in the country to

Sisseton Banner: Owing to a
change Of time on the Sisseton
branch trains now arrive in this
city at $50 and leave at 11:3O q.
N. This gives people coming in
two hours in which to do" the
town and enables them in many
cases to get out by the same
train. It also gives our people
ample opportunity to get their
letters and reply to them by
the same mail, which is quite an
improvement over the service
heretofore given.

The Young Peoples Alliance
convention which held its ses-
sions at the Grant Center church
last week, was great success in
every respect. Nearly every
local Alliance and church of the
Evangelical Association in North

large that the large church prov
ed too small for the crowds.
