curved strap is laid over the back, be-

MENTAL STRAIN IN NURSING.

Only the Best OF Health Prevents
Nervous Breakdown.
An inquiry held by the Birkenhead
coroner concerning the death Of Annie
Morgan, q nurse recently employed at
the discard Nursing Institute. whose
body, In nurses Uniform, was found ON
the beach near Rack Ferry pisr, elicit
ed the sad fact that the deceased had
committed suicide. MlsS Morgan, who
was - years old, had pursued her pro-
fOeSion without break and had enjoy
ed good health until about fifteen
months ago.
At that time she was greatly dis
tressed by the death of patient whom
she had been nurs1ng for seven or
eight months, and her mind began 10

the matron Of the discard Institute
said that az she spoke nationally she

alive again. 1t iS very seldom that
a nurse succumbs. as this poor wo-

of her duties, but we doubt whether
people who are 80 quick to criticise
and find fault with nurses realize
that their work Is often exceedingly
distressing to the mind as well as ar
duous to the body. From the fact
that there are not more terrible col
lapses like that Of Miss Morgan the

Of men.
ON. the saving women Of this world!
The women who sit up late making
over last seasons clothes to save buy

lily tiptoe across the floor to turn down
the gas when papa dozes over his news
paper; the women who darn huge
holes In basketfuls of stockings; the
women who have cracked teapot or
old pocket book into which they drop
stray dimes and quarters, taking the
accumulation to the savings bank with
guilty secrecy; the women who wash
out pieces Of carpet to make them ap-
pear fresh and new, who turn the
trimmings on their hats and clean
their gloves with gasoline and cut
down the clothes Of Willie; aged Il,
to fit Jimmie, aged 10. Bless them,
every one!
There Is another sort of saving which
might properly be termed boarding. II
consists in laying down rugs to prevent
the nap of the carpet from wearing, In
putting paper covers on prettily bound

Attachment for Team Harness.


There are but very few of the ar
ticles used by our great-grandfathers
which still retain their old form, with
little change or improvement, but
among this number may be counted
the harness which is used ON horses
for hauling purposes. Practically the
same pattern Of harness has been used
for many years past, while other
things introduced with it have been
altered beyond recognition or displac-
ed altogether. That there was still q
chance for improvement is shown by

First, wash clean Of mud. etc. An

The soft parts are easily removed az
ter soaking a day in weak alcohol. or
the specimen may be placed in a small

the purpose and covered with cold wa
ter. Bring to q boiling point, shsllS

Shells that have a skinllke covering
may have q very small quantity Of
vaseline rubbed In to prevent them
from cracking when dry. Rub Off all

French and Other Vitality.
From the Paris Messenger.


The official statistics respecting the births,
marriages and deaths registered in France
during the year 1902 have just been publish
ed in Paris. The excess of births over
deaths is shown to have been SO, ,944, an in
crease of IL $40 when compared with the
previous year. This increase, however is
not due to an increase in the number of
births but to a decrease in the number of
deaths, seeing that there were 11,S06 births
and 3d. 443 deaths less in 1902 than in 1901
The figures, therefore. are only apparently
favorable, and the increase of the popula-
ton of France continues to be very slow in
deed. AS an example, the statistics for the
five years from 1896 to 1900 show that when
the population of this country increases by
13 inhabitants in Germany 1t increases by
147, in Belgium by 109 in Great Britain by
116 and in Italy by 110. The number of
marriages showed a decrease of S.683, but
divorces increased by 800. The births num-
bered S45 37S (431 ,246 boys and 414, 1872 girls),
74O71 of the total being illegitimate. The
number of deaths was 761, 434 (395, ,534 males
and 365, 800 femalee).

Story of Mrs. Booth-Tucker.

From the London Chronicle.
One story told of Mrs. Booth-Tucker
when a little girl of thirteen shows her to
have been the true child of her parents.
When walking along the shore at Ports
mouth beside her governess, she saw
donkey cart being driven along furiously
nv a lad who was belaboring the poor beast
sayagely. Breaking away from her COM
pauion, she rushed after it, and pulled the
how from his seat. Catching up his stick
she showered blows upon the lads head
and shoulders with the words, uttered
amid tears. There now, how do you IKE
it?'' Perhaps her pleading proved more
powerful than the blows: but in few
moments the lad was kneeling beside the
donkey asking Gods forgiveness for his
cruelty The climax came with the girl
driving back trimuphantly in the cart be-
side the boy, who promised henceforth to
be kind and to treat his donkey well.

Price Of Modern Hospitality.

From the London World.
The question of tips IS perennial. IL IS
esnecially at this time of year that 1T forces
itself most prominently into notice. ana
the awful truth has to be acknowledges
that there seems to be no way out or
difficulty which alike besets hostess ana
guests. Hospitality is bought at prlce IN
these DAYS, for the new order renders II
possible to open the doors of even great
houses with golden keys, provided tia'
thew are heavy enough and are attached 10
massive chains; and when guests lnclude
roiIIionaires of transatlantic and orlental
extra ction how is it possible Tor hostesses
to EXERCISE any control over the uppins
svstem? The result is that eVerypouy 10
mulcted alike. The poor must follow me i.
lead of the rich, and in consequence II
often becomes as great difficulty Tor men
and women of better social than hnanclai
Stains to accept invitations as to stay at
eVnensive hotels Yet how is reform TO De
institnted? This is a social diff1culty that
it seems impossible to overcome, put at
the same time it is one which stands IN the
wav of many agreeable people OF poth
sexes who dare not in existing circum-
stances accept invitations, even where they
feel they would be most welcome and Where
a delightful time would await them.
