To Employ Female Nurses.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 22.-The
state Board of Control announced to-
day that it is considering the advisable
ity of replacing all male nurses in the
state institutions with female nurses.
Ihere are 200 or more of these nurses
When the board took charge of the in
stitutions two years ago it at once in
creased the pay of women to an equal
ity with the pay of men. Its experience
leads 1t to believe that the women are
twice as useful as nurses. The change
will probably be made by the first Of
the year.

Vertical penmanship. adopted so
widely in the public schools a few
years ago, seems to be going out of
fashion. 1t is said to be slow to write
and not favored in commercial life.
The return to the SDencerian system
emphasizes the project to erect a me-
mortal library to Platt Spencer in Ge-
neva, o. Here, in a little log house,
the great penman taught many branch
es. especially the beautiful handwrit-
ing which young and old came from
afar to learn. Until the age of s,
Spencer had never seen writing paper,
ut he had already traced his charac-
ters in the sand of the rivers edge
and on the bark of trees. His life was
full of hardships, but many a man
reared in luxury may well envy the
inscription. Poet, penman. educator
reformer, benefactor," engraved on his
tomb by grateful pupil.

THAT "PRAYEk CHAIN"
1t Is omciaIly Disapproved by National w
q. Il IL.

1t Is omciauy Disapproved by National w.
CT. u.
The unseemly ''chain Of prayer"
scheme has been officially disapproved
by the officers of the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. 1t
has also been repudiated by local and
state organizations. The originators
of the plan TO have the temperance
women cf the several states pray for
the defeat of President Mckinley have
been rebuked, and the attempt to
make the w. C. Z. U. an annex of the
Bryan political machine has utterly
failed.
This was inevitable. The appeal to
pray for the defeat of Mckinley was
addressed to women of common sense
and patriotic impulse as well as to
those who are simply hysterical fanat-
les. Women whose husbands, fathers,
or brothers are earnest Republicans
were asked to pray for the defeat of
the Republican party. They were ask
ed not to pray in secret, but to make
public record of their irreverence. They
We're not only to pray as individuals,
but as an organization, and to do their
utmost to make this new scheme of
electioneering successful.
The sheer effrontery of the proposi-
ton certainly put the w. G. t. U. in a
bad light. Women who have con-
demned the electioneering methods of
the INSCRIPTIONS ward politician were
made to appear as indorsers of an
electioneering scheme which for irrev-
erence and impertinence has never been
equaled in Panel-House politics. Had
the movement been encouraged by the
national officers of the w. C. 7. U. the
usefulness of the organization would
have been at an end. But, happily for
the organization and for the good
sense of American women, the hyster-
ical scheme has been disapproved. 1t
has probably done some injury as the
case stands, not to the Republican
party, but to the w. C. Il. u.

A writer in the New York Sun gives
dgures to show that the problem of
procuring sufficient number of rail-
road ties causes the corporations in
ereasing perplexity. A mile of stand
ard single-track railroad requires
about 4,500 ties, and the average life
Of tie is estimated at about FIVE
years. The annual requirement of the
Pennsylvania railroad for the part of
the system east of Pittsburg is nearly
100000 ties. The tie supply of all
the railways of the country represents
an aggregate impressive at once to the
business instinct and to the imagina-
ton. Under the best conditions, and
making no allowance for fire and other
accidents, a plot of 1000 acres and a
period Of 30 years are required to pro-
duce 100000 ties. Every line of rail-
road thus becomes an argument in
favor of preserving our forests from
destruction.

There is popular impression that
microbes and germs of all kinds are
killed by intense cold. Recent exper-
iments in the laboratory of Professor
Dewar, the man who solidified hydro
gen. shows that this impression is err
roneous. Many forms of bacteria were
subjected to the tremendous cold of
liquid air for an entire week without
interruption, yet afterward they de-
veloped as vigorously as they would
have done If they had not undergone
