NURSES SHOULD BEHAVE.

Perhaps it is most essential of all,
apart from mastering the handicraft
Of Der profession and having an intel
ligent understanding of symptoms,
that a nurse should know how to be-
have. In the wards she is subject to
constant scrutiny, and if her peo-
pie with will and authority to bring
her to order; but in private houses
we all know how much she is left to
her own devices, and how infinite are
her opportunities of annoyance. Pages
might be filled with the enOrmities
nurses have been known to commit,
the property they have destroyed, and
worst of all the servants they have
caused to give notice, not to speak of
family secrets divulged to the shocked
but not always unreceptive ears of en-
ployers.
If it were possible to sift the COM
plants, the absolutely just ones, made
by long suffering households of the
fine lady of a nurse who felt above
her work, wouldn's so much as lift her
finger to wash a spoon" the chances
are that she would prove to be the
product Of an inferior training, sprung
from an inferior class, and looking to
her work for social pomotion. The
exactions of such women are often in
credible. intolerable to their employ
ers, and damaging to the reputation of
the entire profession. Not long
since, nurse on going to a place
found to her great embarrassment a
man servant stationed outside the bed
room door. 1t turned out that he was
engaged for her special service, be-
cause a former nurse couldn't get
along without a ,footman to wait On
her. No business relation should be
so absurdly lax.-Mary Moss, in At
iantic.

IN CASE OF FIRE.

Old-fashiOned women always pro-
vided themselves with fine gowns for
use in the possible event of being
forced to face a fire in scanty night
toilet The modern women meet the
same possibility by storing, in a con-
venient place in every room, bottles
filed with a mixture made from ten
pounds of salt, five pounds Of sal am
moniac and four and half gallons of
water. Should a fire start break a
bottle or two Of this over the burning
place. If used in time it will put
out a small fire, and in any event
may delay the ravages of the flames
till the engines arrive.

The Small Want.

The human form divine" is, mod
ernly speaking, anything but divine
from the classic point of view, and
yet men who look long and admiring-
~ at a statue of Medea or the Venus
di Milo are wont to eXclaim on other
occasions as the tiny waist and dis
proportionate hips fit by, What q
divine form." 1t is curious
masculine inconsistency that their
theories and practices concerning the
waist lines are usually at variance
The thoroughly hygienfc and corset
less woman has, as a rule, no charms
for him. He thinks her practical and
lauds her common sense, but ne
doesn't marry her.
The advanced woman who thinks
that the waist line should expand in
proportion to her ideas need not,
however, be unsymmetrical. The
vertical young woman, devoid of
contour, with only an equatorial line
to suggest a waist, looks ridiculous
when she boasts that she never laces.
Even laws of health do not require
one to be unattractive. 1t is wom-
ans duty to make herself as present
able as possible, and it can be done
without violating laws of any kind.
Until that happy medium which
seems an unobtainable thing is
found, men will continue to admire
the laced maiden, simply because
laws to the countryside is more at
tractive than the other extreme.

Picture Books.

Three hundred years ago a German
sayant had a wonderful vision A.
that time children were taught to
read by force of arms, so TO speak,
through hardships and with bitter
toll on the part of teacher and of
child. It seems curious that the
first real step toward tightening the
labor Of children as they climb the
ladder of leaning was the product
Of the imagination, not of some fond
mother, or gentle wOman-teacher, but
of a beWigged and betitled uniyersit!
doctor. 1t was Johann Comenius,
however, who first conceived the
daring idea that children could be
taught by the aid OF the memory and
the imagination working together.
BY MEANS as he quantity expressed
it, "of sensuOus impressions con-
veyed to the eye, so that visual
objects may be made the medium of
expressing moral lessons to the
young mind and of impressing those
lessons upon the memory" In other
words, the good Herr Doctor had the
bright idea that picture-books could
be useful to children. COmenius
made his first picture-book and called
it the "Orbis Pictus." 1t contains
rude wOodcuts representing objects
III the natural world, as trees and
animals, with little lessons about
the pictures. 1t is a quaint volume,
and one that would cause the
average modern child not a little
establishment were it placed before
him. AS truly, however, as that term
may be applined to any other book
that has since been written, the
'Orbis Pictus" was an epoch-making
book. 1t is the precursor Of all chill
dren's picture-books, and modern
choildhood has great cause to bless
the name of Comenius.-The House

How Many Men Should Girl be En-,
Gaqed TOP


How many men should a girl he en-
gagged to before she is married? This
question strikes at the roots of So
ciety, and generations to come will
be Influenced by it,
Just as the kitten acquires valuable
practice by playing with the dunn
mics before she enters upon the
serious business of the professional
mouser, so, before the knot is tied
it is proper that a girl should fortify
herself with as much preliminary
training as possible. Yet this does
not imply recklessness nor that
superficial skimming from one sub
ject to another with precludes d
proper mastery Of the problem.
Enough time should be taken to hook
the man thoroughly, and, when he is
properly and steadily in hand, to
study him until the possibilities are
exhausted. Only then, says Tom
in the Cosmopolitan, should he be re-
linquished, and another specimen
should be selected, and so on until
the final adjustment.
The ideal, toward which you ara
directing your efforts, is, of course
to acquire such a working knowledge
of all men that, when you are mar
ried, the management Of one will be
a second nature-a habit of life that
imposes no additional strain and does
not take away your attention from
the other enjoyments that you have
right to expect.
