Fort de France, Island of Martin,

Throughout Thursday the heat in
the vicinity of st. Pierre was so in

approached the French cruiser Suchet,
after a heroic battle with the heat suf-
location and sulphur fumes, succeeded
in making dash toward the shore,
nearing the land close enough to en-
able her to take off 80 survivors of the
disaster, all of whom were terribly

that time was an absolute, smoking
waste, concealing 10000 corpses,
whose rapid decomposition necessi-

partly accomplished by the lava.

were panicstricken the morning of the
disaster when the sky suddenly black

THE INvAL1D's BATH.
Every Nurse Should Know How TO
Make 1t So ms Not to Disturb
the Patient.

One of the most essential things
in nursing is to learn how to char ge
the bed clothes of helpless patient,
without uncoyering or disturbing him
or her unnecessarily. This is not
easy, particularly if the sick person
is stout and temporarily unconscious,
or, for some special reason, as in OPP
erative cases, is not allowed to turn,
or even move limb. This, says the
New York Tribune, is the time when
"a nurse shows her skill, patience and
tact.
Without fuss, without hustle, with
out noise, she has everything in read

their lowered vitality, the sick are
Extremely susceptible to cold and the
least change of temperature, hence
the absolute necessity of having the
sheets Thoroughly warmed before VEN

The pillow or pillows not in inn

nurse gently and quietly passes her
arm under the patients head and
shoulders, raising them only just
enough to allow the easy withdrawal

hand, she takes a clean pillow and

The bedclothes are then loosened
at the head, side and feet on that

patient; the upper clothing is now
tucked well around him, and the
isoiled under sheet is pushed up close
against his side.

What a shoe Man Says.

Women with large feet should bear
one or two things in mind. One is
that if they are big women they have
no right to expect to have very small
feet. A woman of five feet six inches
height is entitled to foot 1-3 inches
long. and it might be little longer
without making her feel that the world
was coming to an end. Another thing
the large-footed sister should recol-
lect is that when she squeezes her
foot into a shoe too small for her she
does not disguise its size, states the
Shoe and Leather Gazette. On the con-
trary, she makes this more apparent.
