ONE GIRLS SPECIALITY.

"A young Western girl is making a
success as a nurse for delicate babies
and young children. Beginning in the
maternity wards Of a hospital, she
was graduated into a children's hos
pital, where she secured recommends
tions from several leading physicians.
Since then business has been brisk.
"Of course, not every girl could under
take it," she says "and fewer still carry
it through. Physical strength and cour-
age, patience and Infinite tact, love of
children and love of nursing-all these
are necessary qualities. Then there Is
the responsibility. One cannot shirk
that, but all good things have their
responsibilities. There are number
of women who have gone into the work
in England, but I believe. I am the
only American so far who has taken
up the profession Systematically from
the start; who has aimed at this end
from the commencement Of her career
and studies. It's strange that more
girls who love children and nursing
have not devoted themselves to this
profession long ago. The prices paid
are often much larger than for other
engagements Of trained nurse. and
there is surety Of a continued employ
ment. From my own experience I can
promise any woman who knows her
work and loves it that she will find en-.
gagements seeking her." New York

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

The American girl is the most com
petent girl in the world. She can do
more work, and do it better. than any
other girl upon the shores of the Seven
Seas. She can play, too, as heartily as
she works. She is beautiful. well
dressed, well cared for, and she is a
creature Of superb health. Given a
house, she can make it neat, comfort
able, even beautiful; and when she
loves enough she makes Il home that is
a home out of her house.-WOmans

DESKS WITH SECRET DRAWERS

Most business desks are very COM

market with romantic secret compart-

snow, which, by the way. is the best stage we have ever seen, can Ee kicked about and shovelled in very real manner. The Martian takes him to the house where the ball is in progress, and lets him see himself as others see him. But, though the things he hears are not very sweet to his ears, still the armor of con ceit and seltishness remains about him. His mentor tries another method of reaching the better self that he hopes lies within the man; he makes him give gold to poor brggar, and later forces him to part with the rest of his money to help wretched woman whose husband when all his money is gone, he takes from him his fur coat and compels him, ragged and cold, to work and to beg. Little by ltte he begins to understand the meaning oi poverty, begins to think of others. And then he awakes.
 Dazed. he stares about his room. the same comfortable apartme mt he has so long been accustomed to- He finds his coat, his money, everything, intact; realizes that he is not homeless, ill-clothed beggar, that it was all a dream. But dream from which he cannot escape, He has seen the picture of his selfshness, and he does not like the memory of it. And he has had glimpse of suffering and misery that he cannot put out of his mind.
 When the aunt and Minnie return from the ball, they find a much changed Horace. They are amazed to discover him bustling about, trying to make comfortable a lot of poverty stricken wretches to whom he had given shelter after they were rendered houseless by the burning of the tene- ment in which they dwelt. The ladies assist him in his work of comfort and charity, and beg his pardon for ever having so misiudged him as 10 have thought him selfish and unfeeling He says they must not apologize. hat he had been all, and more, than what they thought him; but that he hopes he is now different. And then he and Min- nie tendcrly embrace, and then the curtain goes down.

 that its Qualifications would
 be removed whenever the location the palaces was changed, their nigf- nesses suddenly lost all desire for the traditional change.
 The princely residences contain but few private rooms. They consist largely of open halls, without walls. resting upon pillars of precious woods. The floors are usually of mar ble, and the furniture and lamps are of the common European variety. Everywhere the eye encounters huge brass uspidors-u ugly things which are needed, however, as the Javan- csc are inveterate sivih chewers. The stuff they masticate is composed of lime mixed with various leaves and herbs, which composition stimulates approximation even more than the vile plug tobacco used by sailors.
 The birthday of Queen Wilheimina was celebrated with great ceremony in the Djohiakarta sultanate while Mr. Pedersen was visiting Java. The sui- tan was conducted to his throne. 1n the rear of the great hall by the Dutch governor. Behind him stood a page boy yielding a monster pea cock fan and in front of him was another page who adjusted gilt stool for the feet of his august master. For ty musicians produced an uneartniy noise, and then 12 truly beautl1uI dancers. called bedojas, princesses oI pure lineage, appeared and maTcnea toward the center of the hall.
 It is the duty of these dancing girls to amuse the prince whenever his high ness may be pleased to require such en- tertainment; and they offer the most perfect performance to be seen any where in the world. In order to attaln the utmost grace of motion the girls destined for dancers are selected with the greatest care from the families or the highest rank. Fingers and elbow joints must be almost incredibly ph- able, and the artists must learn to as- sume unnatural poses so as to form tableaux of rare delicacy. Each per- former is endowed with natural beauty, which is enhanced by rich costumes, elaborate hair dressing and costly gems.
 The sultan of Suramarta is perhaps the most extravagant prince in Java His importance is due to his chancei- Tor, Baden Adipati, who is married
