OPPOSES BOYS DEPARTMENT
THE REV. E. L. STODDARD Ac4rvvr
JERSEY CITY Y. NJ. c. A. DEPARTURr

Members of st. Johns Free Episcopal cb,,-oA
Jersey City, of which the Rev. Edward T. S..
dard is rector. were surprised TO find ves+a-5a,
in st. Johns Bulletin" a church pan,Dh1a.
which Mr.. Stoddard prints weekly, an article
written by the rector in which he took excan-
ton to the establishment OF a boys departrnAr.
by the Young Mems Christian Association a,
Hasbrouck's Hall. Mr.. Stoddard said he was
in sympathy with the general objects OF tho
association, but he considered the boys depa~t
ment an unwise adjunct. In his opinion the-a
were only two sources from which any cbIS
under sixteen years old should receive religionS
teaching, one being the childs parents The
other the pastor of the church he attended
Such teaching he likely to receive from
the association would merely have a tendency
TO unsettle the ideas impaired TO the child nv
his parents and pastor, since the association
could not well adapt it's teaching to the children
Of different denominations
Mr.. Stoddard further said that there Vera
only two places in which a boy under sixteen
years old should be found at night One was
a private home. his own a neishbor's the
other his church hcme. In ending Mr.. Stoddard
said that if the association would devote itself
solely to such boys as were destitute. who had
parents and no home. or who went TO no
church. and therefore received no religious IN
struction, he would declare himself in sympathy
with il and urge all Christian young men and
women TO give it all the aid possible.

NEW SET OF EYELIDS GRATED.
COMPLETE COVERINGS FOR BOTH EYES
MADE FROM SKIN FROM PATIENTS HIP.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNEl
Philadelphia March "a surgical tri
umph has been achieved by a Philadelphia
physician. Probably this IS the first time in the
history Of archaeological surgery that new
set of eyelids has been successfully supplied by
skin grating.
DR.. Charles Monroe Thomas, of No. 1923
Arch-st., one Of the best known homeopathic
eye specialists in this city. performed the opera
ton. The patient lost both the upper and lower
eyelids by fire The accident left both eyes en-
tirely unprotected. and there was grave danger
Of total blindness.
Several months ago Dr. Thomas began his
efforts to create new lids by grating skin taken
from the patients hip. It was necessary to pro-
coed slowly. but the experiment was entirely
successful and to-day the patient has four new
eyellds which perform the normal functions
naturally.
The case has attracted widespread interest IN
the medical profession. While the operation is
not new this is the first time that a physician
has succeeded in equipping patient with two
sets Of eyelids.

7 he Trained Nurses.
(Statesyille Landmark

A few days ago Miss Margaret 3.
Boyd, Il young woman who. was formerly
q nurse in Watts Hospital, Durham,
died in Baltimore from the effects OF
blow which she received from a deliri-
Gus patient whom she nursed in the
Durham hospital. The death of this
young women calls attention to a pre-
fession-a noble, self-sacrificing onc-to
which so many young women have dedi-
Gated their lives in recent years. 1t IS
doubtful ii the work of the trained
nurse is appreciated as it should be.
These women who devote their lives 10
sick rooms are ministering angels. No
matter what their motive for engaging
in the work, if they faithfully perform
it's duties they deserve the honor Of mcE
and the everlasting reward reserved Tor
these who spend their lives in relieving
suffering. The physical and mental
strain, the dangerous, trying experiences
which one must undergo in constant at
tendance on sick rooms requires more
than the ordinary powers Of endurance,
cf intelligence, Of patience and or love
for humanity. It means practically a
sacrifice of the pleasures Of life which
young women usually enjoy: it means,
in short life of work for which no re-
enumeration except the knowledge of duty
we'll done can adequately, compensate.
Every experienced physician Will tell
you that in the great majority OF cases
of illness careful nursing is the impor-
tant thing; that no matter how silillful
the physician, in many instances pa
tents life is lost purely for lack of
proper care and attendance in the &b-
sCnce of the physician. And what q
burden do these trained nurses take from
the shoulders of those in home where
there is sickness, They see that the
physicians directions are faithfully fol-
lowed and assume all the care of a pa
tiCnt. By reason of their training and
SklH they do what experienced hands
cannot &C. no matter how anxious and
willing these may be. All hail to these
Sisters of Mercy the trained nurses,
This one who lost her life in the dis
charge of duty is as deserving cf a MONT
l:ent as any Of the great captains WHO
have on fame and renown by doing
Iothing morc-thcir duty. It is to the
everlasting credit of the young women
CT the South that so many of them are
giving their lives to this great work.

and later from the effects Of frost
The saving of the hay crop will call for
attention during this month and the next.
The crop does rot promise to be q very
heavy one. and Il is therefore the more
important that it should be carefully
saved. Do not let it stand until the seed
IS ripe and much Of the LEAKAGE dead.
That hay is most nutritious which is cut
when the plants are in bloom When
once the seed begins to form the nutri-
tive value Of the rest of the plant rapidly
decreases. See to it that the hay is not
wasted by being allowed to remain broad
cast in the scorching sun and hot wind.
4 few hours exposure TO a June or July
sun is sufficient to wilt a crop so that it
may safely, and with advantage to the
hay, be rake1 up into WindroW and there
continue the process of curing until fit 70
lie put into cock or be carried to tho
barn More hay is spoiled in the South
by overdrying than is spoiled by being
housed too soon. When overdried, much
OF the LEAKAGE and finer part Of the crop,
and the parts which contain most nutri-
ment is lost in the field. As soon as
ever the hay can safely be put into cocks
it should be done and this is much soon
than most farmers imagine possible u
only the hay is free from rain or dew.
It is impossible to lay down any hard or
fast rulc when this can safely be done,
as so much donends on tho character Ct
the crop and the weather conditions.
Only experience can decide. But err on
the side of under exposure rather than
Cver-eXposure when putting into cocks.
If after twenty-four hours, the cocks
feel cold and damp inside break them cut
again and expose to the sun and wind
for a few hours. 1t is not necessary to
spread the hay broadcast ever the field
again but only just around the cocks.
Turn and tighten up with a fork, and
two or three hours sun and WIND Will tit
the hay for the barn. Never house haY
