Knew Her Patient Was Loaded.

Knew Her Patient Was Loaded.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: Wo-
men nurses are p~roverbially cool and
collected in danger and at all times,
SO when n does lose her wits tenn
porarily it is generally very funny. A
short time since Miss F., one of the
smartest and best-skilled nurses at Gin
cinnati hospital, had a very sick man
in her care, who was only kept alive
by heroic doses of nitro-glycerine, and
whose recovery from the terrible com.
plication of diseases from which he suf-
fered vas considered almost miracu-
lous by the medical fraternity. The
nurse saw the dose written in her in
struction book and questioned the doc
tor about it, and was told to follow the
dose as directed, but she had the idea
of it being a deadly explosive so firm
ly rooted in her mind that she handled
him gingerly with a furtive look in her
eye, as If she was watching the fuse
end of a ~irecracker. One midnight,
tient in another ward arose from his
bed IN del1rlum, slammed doors, over
turned tables and chairs, and crashed
through a window on to the pavement
below. The nurse. hearing the success
sion Of noises, the crash of the glass,
the cries of the awakened men in their
cots, without taking a look or a breath,
with distended eyes and hair upright,
ran shrieking to the doctors door, and
pounding upon it in an agony of ter
ror called out: "Oh, doctor, doctor,
come quick! Your nitro-glycerine has
exploded himself"
1t is needless to say she was more
than pleased when she found he was
still intact and not dismembered, while
the true cause of the commotion was
picked up stunned and bleeding and
cared for tenderly.

IT IS the belief of we'll posted fnan-
ciers in New England that the bulk of
the stock of the Burlington road will be
tempted from its hiding places by the
offer of $500 of q per cent bonds for every
500 of the face value of the stock.
While the road is earning more that s
per cent just now, these are times of ex-
traordinary prosperity. A single serious
crop failure might bring the dividend
down to S or6 per cent, and two failures
in succession might bring it still lower.
A conservative Yankee prefers the equiv
alent of s per cent guaranteed, with the
face value of his capital doubled, than to
share in such dividends as the company
may be able to earn during the varying
seasons and under ~fuctuating business
conditions.-Lincoln Journal.

THE developments in the commissary
department in Manila made one want to
get his gun and do a little homiciding on
a small scale. 1t is a national humilia-
ton. and is difficult of explanation on
any other theory than that too many
Americans unfortunately esteem thefts
against the government or corporations
a virtue;-a sentiment which has found
expression in public Offices, private
snaps" Such ~offenses merit severer
punishment than is ordinarily melted
out in civil and unofficial life, being a
breach of public and official confidence
which effects the nation and disgraces
the flag.

Rating Unimproved Land Values.

The system of rating on the unim-
proved land values seems to be grow
ing in favor with the local authorities
of New Zealand. Hitherto the land
and improvements have been equally
liable to be taxed for local purposes,
but a recent act of parliament made it
optional with boroughs whether they
would continue the old system or ADOPT
the method of taxing the unimproved
values only. A good many %Voroughs
are making the experiment in spite OF
the strenuous opposition CO landnold-
ers. The BOroughs adopting the new
system are mainly those in which
there are considerable quantities OF
land lying unimproved, being held in
fact by the owners for a rise in values.

THE champion liar has not been
showed under in the northwest. 1t
seems that the other day a train was run
so fast On the Chicago & Northwestern
road that it became invisible. watchers
had fed from the platform to avoid the
danger of suction and were watching
from a window" And yet the rate was
only ninety miles an hour. Travellers in
the east-those between New York and
Boston, for instance-will remember
that the speed of trains here has not yet
closely approached the point of invisi-
bility. The great west still leads.-New

Comfort the Aged.

The communings of the hearts OF
The Die are with the scenes of the past,
and the companions of other years
who have long ago passed away. Lover
and friends have been taken from
them and their acquaintance laid in
darkness. The forms they admired
and loved are gone, the eyes that look
ed into theirs with the tenderest affec-
ton are sightless, and the voices that
cheered and stirred their souls have
long since been silent. They are "On-
ly waiting till the shadows are a little
longer grown" to pass on to the re-
union that awaits them, and the glad
greetings Of those they love. Who
would not do what he can to cheer the
loneliness Of the aged, to smooth their
pathway, and comfort them in their
declining years?-The Churchman.

To California and Back.

If you realized-as do those who have
been there-what a delightful experience
a month in California is, you would not
fail to take advantage of the low rates
to San Francisco which the Burlington
offers on account c. the Epworth League
meeting in that city in July.
The cost of reaching California will be
reduced one-half. Add to this that the
summer climate of San Francisco is very
nearly perfect, and it is easy to under
stand why tens of thousands are eagerly
looking forward to what, in their opin-
ion will be the holiday of a lifetime.

So many outspoken critics are finding
fault with the failures in spelling which
bring discredit upon the pupils in our
public schools. and even upon the grad
yates of American colleges and ~univer-
sites, that some extremists are loud in
demanding a return to the ''spelling
bee" practices of early New England.
To master the whimsical eccentricities
of English spelling is so formidable a
task as to require constant training from
the cradle to the grave.-New York

A New Southern Commodity.

We note in letter TO the weekly
Atlanta journal from Washington.
Ga, an account of an experiment that
nay mean great deal for the own
ers of southern pine lands. The
story is IS follows:
On yesterday an experiment on the
Lowry Press was made on compress
ing pine straw This straw is worth
in northern markets SIS per ton, and
the test was made to see if the straw
would stand sufficient compression to
insure density necessary to secure
low freight rates from the south to
the north The test was complete
success in every particular so far as
compreesage aud density was con
cerned The press took the pine
needles without trouble and the
ordinary size bale was compressed
with density of 35 pounds to the
cubic foot, with ESQ pounds of straw
to the package, being the same size
as round cotton bale The straw
upon examination after compressage
presented better and more desira-
bic article for bedding and packing
purposes than in the natural state
The success of this test means new
industry which will pour thousands
of dollars annually into the pockets
of southern farmers which has here
tofore been lost President Harvie
Jordan, who watched the test close
ly, stated that be was completely
satisfied with the resalt, and that if
the straw could be sold in northern
markets it meant tremendous reve.
nue for Georgia farmers. The baliug
of pine straw for northern markets
on a basis of SIS per ton will mean
a net amount of So per ton to every
farmer on every ton Of pine straw he
can rake up and have baled from his
premises 1t will cost about $5 per
con freight and 81 per ton expense OF
hauling and compressage, leaving q
handsome profit on the business to
the producer.
Every discovery or invention that
finds profitable utilization of pro
duct that has heretofore brought no
revenue to the south, is an added
blessing to our section There are
many thousapds of acres Of pine
lands IN Georgia and the south from
which enough pine straw can be
gathered annually to make hand
some revenue if it is true that a
market exists for it at the north If
the news from Washington is accu.
rate tho demonstration that has just
been made there deserves the widest
circulation chat can be given it 1t
is an important matter that merits
the attention of the farmers and
landowners of the south.-Augusta
