TRAINING AND COM ~ SENSE.

1t has been remarked that motern
methods of education, whatever may
be their merits, do not markedly in
crease that most valuable of all en-
dowments, common sense. AS the de-
velopment of that somewhat indefin-
able but absolutely necessary quality,
if one would lead the most useful
life, should be more aimed at than
anything else, thoughtful mothers
have suggested that there must be
serious defects in our modern schools
and colleges. One of the directions
| in which common sense is most likely
| to be shown is in the care Of the
health. Neither young men nor
young women appear to realize the
value of health, and our colleges do
not seem to instill into them the pre-
cepts which aid in securing this great
est of earthly benefits. Wealth, learn
ing, beauty, vital are of little COM
fort without health, while with it
almost anything may be borne cheer

siderable distance from the lamp
which was her sole dependence for
Hight Not satisfied with sitting at
least three times as far from the lamp
as she ought, sho had carefully inter-
posed her head between it and her
book. One of the foundation facts of
education is that one should always
get the best possible light upon ones
work, being careful never to let tb
sun shine directly upon it, and that
the light should come over one Of the
shoulders, preferably the left. Under

SLEEP SONG.

Low in the arms of my love recline,
For the night is lonely, dearie;
Creep close. and close, to this heart
of mine
And rest, for thy soul is weary
Weary of life and it's days alone!
Weary of care in it's ways alone
Oh, rest in the nest of my love, my
own!
browse in the joy of safe retreat,
Where shadowy fears may never
Creep into thy dreams, my sweet, my
sweet;
But happiness lull forever.
IN the arms Of my love would I hold
thee near,
Folding thee, dear, from stress and
Come, rest in the nest that awaits
thee here!

A CRIME OF THoUGHTLEssNEss
Which Causes the Death of Many
Sick-room Victims
Oughtlessness

''Thoughtlessness and mistaken
kindness in the sick-room Stay their
thousands, and the family and nurses
are ofttimes the unknown accessories
to the deed" is the emphatic opinion
of Bland Brunper Huddleston writing
of Visitors IT, the Sick-room in Wo-
mans Home Companion. "They fear
criticism too much. Their mothers
and grandmothers never dreamed of
refusing admittance to the sick
room; j. would cause talk to begin
it. So the nurse casts responsibility
off on custom, and puts blind trust
providence, and the deed is done!
No matter how visiDly it harrows the
soul of a nervous woman to have out
siders' about her, there are those who
will persist in invading every sick
room they can reach, regardless of the
condition of the patient or the prob
ability Cor lack of probability that
they may be of any service. 1t often
happens that it is the least useful and
who are most active in their atten-
lions to the afflicted. Such visitors
seriously handicap the efforts of the
physician and nurses and undoubtedly
cause many death. It is astonishing
to witness the recklessness of most
families in regard to this phase of the
care of their sick. Unless a patient
is actually in articulo mortis the
0untry doctor. does not like to en-
danger his popularity by ordering the
arbitrary exclusion of visitors. With
out his commands to back them up the
family that attempts the innovation
invites and gets the ostracism Of the
neighborhood for no short time. I
would not be thought to decry the
good, sensible, self-denying neighbor
nurse who in almost all rural COM
munities and in homes Of slender
means everywhere must supply the
place of the trained nurse when the
home force is not sufficient to proper
ly care for a patient. God alone knows

formation on the subject and other

ever, and his memory Is very clear and
