CARE OF THE SICK.
The Trained Nurse HABIT and 0ae
Grave Point II In rolves.

Grave Point II In rolves.
A writer in the Saturday Review con-
tends that wives and mothers have too
surrendering the sickroom, even In triv
ial cases. to the trained nurse. He
says: I'VE have to face the fact that,
while there is great gain In trained
and paid nursing. there Is also loss
Of something else, and the point to be
settled is whether this loss is benefi-
cial to all parties concerned. Personal
ly doubt IL. So far. indeed, as the
slighter ailments are concerned, I be-
lieve-and / know many doctors will
bear me out-that the growing habit of
sending at once. whenever possible, for
skilled shoulders on which to lay every
little of responsibility cannot fail to
weaken woman's motherhood or loos-
en- the tie of her wifehood.
This Is strong language, know, but
the subject deserves ii. The nursing
of the sick is something that no woman
can afford to leave out of her life alto
gether without detriment to her own
character. Let her call in skilled aid
by all means should she be unfit for
the technical part OF the work, but
that does not eSonerate her from other
work quite as important. for. without
being a Christian Scientist. / assert
that no reasonable person who has
studied the marvellous influence OF mind
can doubt that the mental atmosphere
in which we happen to be does affect
the body"

Very few persons. says a French pa
per. know the origin OF the headdress
which so many nuns wear and which
hides so much of their faces. II was
formerly the custom for converts to
send nuns TO the various cities and
towns for the purpose Of collecting
aims. and. as a rule. two nuns, one old
and the other young. went to each
place. They wore small caps and were
popularity known as Swallows Of
Lent"
On a certain Ash Wednesday two of
them succeeded in obtaining admission
to the kings palace in Paris. and,
though the monarch and his courtiers
Were at dinner. they did not hesitate to
solicit aims from them. One of the
nuns was very pretty. and the young
mobiles who were feasting cast such
bold glances at her that she blushed
with shame, whereupon the king rose
from the table and. taking his napkin.
folded it in two and placed 1t on her
head in such manner that II con-
cealed her bushes. Ever since that
day. II is said, this kind Of headdress
has been worn by nuns.

NRmea.

Here in America" said a Philadel-
phia artist who has travelled extensive
ly. I'VE call boy Johnnie II we don't
know what his name Is. It's curious to
note the variations Of this custom. In
the far west the name Is shortened to
Jack. and 1t is applied to any stranger
indiscriminately. On the other hand,
we always call a Chinaman John.
When I was studying In Paris. was
impressed by the fact that to the Pa
risian every foreigner is either Jack or
Jacques. according to the pronuncia-
ton of the native who uses the term.
I spent one winter In Havana. where
found that the Cubans apply the
name Charlie to all Americans and
Englishmen. In Mexico II a mans
name is not known he IS called Pedro.
In our own southern states I have no
ticed that the colored walters in the
hotels are invariably called George.
think II would be interesting to know
how these customs originated"

II have no more
nervous headaches
and rest very well at
night"

When a woman suffers from female
weakness and irregularity or other forms
of womanly disease, the effect is GER
tain to be marked in her nervous sys-
tenn, the general effect being, as in Mrs.
Woodin's case, unervous headaches, rest
lessness at night" and a rundown condi-
ton. 1t is simply common sense then
which says if you cure the female weak
ness, irregularity, etc, you will cure the
nervousness, sleeplessness and other con-
sequences of womanly disease.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the womanly diseases which undermine
the general health. 1t establishes regu-
larity, dries enfeebling drains, heals in
