Raleigh's Burial Place.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New York Tribune.
The question Of Sir Walter RaIeigh's bur-
ial place has lately been revived in Eng
land Three churches claim both the head
and body of the gallant courtier. Imme-
diateay after execution, which took place in
Tothill street, Westminster, on October %
1913 his wife placed the head in a red bag
and rode on with dt in a mourning coach.
Ihas treasure she kept for twenty-five
years The body was buried in st. Mar
garets Church. but shortly after the exc
cut1on Lady Raleigh wrote to her brother.
Sir Nicholas Carew, asking permission to
bury her husbands body in his church at
Beddington where she desired also to be
buried! History Is silent from that time
on 1t IS known, however, that her SON
treasured the head as his mother had and
according to the London Daily Chronicle
tradition says 1t was finally buried with
him at West Horsley, Surrey. Dr. Brush
heid, who has made a thorough study of
Raleigh history, Is of the belief that when
investigation Is made the three bodies
father, mother and son-will be found bur
leo together. He has suggested to the
British Archaeological Society to inscribe
the stone under which his body Is supposed
to be buried In st. Margaret's, London,
with MS name and coat of arms No Eng
HSh memorial to this universal genius''
exists. The west windows of st. Margaret's.
dedicated TO his memory through the en-
terprise of DR.. Farrar, were the gift of
this country.

THE HANDKERCHIEFs RISE.
About Century Since It Was First
Mentioned in Polite Conversation.

From the New York Sun.
In these days when the handkerchief Is
not only In the foreground Of woman's be-
longings, but also affords her means of
expressing her individual taste, it Is odd to
read Of the time when custom decreed 1t
thing to be kept out Of sight and only
referred to in a whisper. Until the reign
of Napoleon I the handkerchief was re-
garded in France as an absolutely unmen-
tionable subject. The word was carefully
avoided In polite conversation, and people
had much the same feeling about being
caught using handkerchief as obtains now
regarding toothpick.
The Empress Josephine was the first
woman Of fashion to introduce the hand
kerchief to public notice. Her courage in
the matter was stimulated by personal
need. With all her beauty and fine bearing
she had defective teeth. So she adopted
the practice Of always carrying about with
her a small and pretty handkerchief, the
raising Of which to her lips from time to
time helped to tide over the embarrassment.
Particularly when the empress laughed was
the wisp Of cambria and lace q MAIN
stay. The court ladies followed the within
out Of compliment to their leader, and after
time the handkerchief came into favor
with all classes. Before the beginning OF
the last century the actor and actress who
made use OF a handkerchief while perform
Ing even the most fearful scenes, or who
referred to the Objectionable belonging
would have been considered lacking in wit
or good breeding.
A Mile. Douchesnois, however, broke the
Ice OF convention, and ventured to appear
on the boards with handkerchief carried
openly in plain sight. Yet, when in the
course OF the play she had to refer to the
tabooed article, she called it "a light tissue
instead of handkerchief. A few years later
IN one OF Shakespeare's plays, translated
by De Vigny for the benefit Of the French
capital. the word handkerchief was used
outright for the first time on the stage, an
innovation that aroused Kisses and cries of
however, prejudice gave way and both
polite and professional society came to
recognize the handkerchief, not only as a
nice essential. but as badge Of distinc-
ton bearing the embroidered crest of the
owner and a sure token Of his or her rank
and wealth.

ONE BUSY WOMAN.
Nurse Cawardine and Her Work on the
Labrador Coast.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Far up on the Labrador coast lives Nurse
Cawardine, who for eight long winters-long
in q very literal sense-haS had sole charge
Of the only winter hospital on thousand
mile coastline. The hospital is an outcome
Of the Royal National Mission to the Deep
Sea Fishermen of England, a medical mis-
sion founded back in the sos. and much
favored by Queen Victoria, who always had
warm spot in her heart for the soldier
and sailor lads Of England. The hospital
ships Of the mission piled for some years
only among the British fishing boats of the
German ocean, but in 1892 increased sup
port enabled the mission to send hospital
boat to the fishing banks Of Labrador.
There, each summer. comes motley fleet
Of fishing craft. Most of the fishermen are
Newfoundlanders. who bring with them
their wives, children. dogs, goats and fowls.
These are packed in cabin and hold In
friendly premTc Sa, with nets boats salt
lasses. A few Nova Scotian craft are min
gled with the rest, and occasionally a
Gloucester boat. working the great halibut
banks. Altogether, there is an influx Of 3d.,
600 fisher folk each spring, who, along with
the 1000 whites and the 1.5OO Esquimaus,
who live there permanently, devote their
entire time to the fishing banks. The banks
stretch along thousand miles Of coast,
and this great feet, scattered over this vast
distance. is entirely without medical as
sistance except that furnished by the mis-
sion. The hospital ship piled to and fro
along the banks. but early in the first sea-
son it was perceived that shore hospitals
were needed to relieve its crowded wards
Two were speedily established, for the sum-
mer only; but when the days began to
shorten and the boats sailed away SOUTH
ward 1t seemed impossible to leave the
5000 people upon that dreary coast without
nurse or doctor through the long winter
So one doctor stayed to patrol the coast,
gong up and down even as the hospital
snip had followed its beat on the waters.
while in the log hospital on Caribou Island
Nurse Ada Cawardine, a graduate of Lon
don training school, remained to hold the
fort alone. Miss Cawardine goes shopping
once year, and then it is at her desk with
pen and paper and a corrugated line of
tnoug,ht dividing her brow. She is obliged
to order all supplies for the hospital a wear
IN advance; and the housewife who thinks
thls is easy to do Is invited to try it Just
once II ANYTHING gives out meantime she
just goes without
