The movement on the part OF the
local physicians to start a school for
trained nurses at the hospital, as told
in the Evening News yesterday,
shows much enterprise OF the part OF
the local medical staff. To teach the
various subjects which have been
assigned to the different doctors will
take much of their time and greatly
increase their work. They have gone
about the matter so quietly and earn
estly, however, that it is evident they
mean business and the standard of the
local hospital will be greatly raised
among the similar institutions of the
State. The profession of q trained
nurse is q noble one and is remuner-
alive as we'll. The fact that the
physicians have determined to give
this course of study, In conjunction
with the practical work at the hospi-
tai, will make it possible for those
desiring to take up the <ork, to pur-

MOUNTAINS OF BAGGAGE.
Trem n d GUS Amount Handled in One
New York Railway Station
in September.

Few persons appreciate the ire
mendous passenger business that is
being handled by the railroads. Here
is an illustration that will open the
eyes of some:
For the first six days of September
there were received at the New York
Grand Central station, 34,259 pieces
of baggage, an average of $500 pieces
per day. During the second week of
September the average was a little
over 5000 pieces per diem. The bag
gage came in SO rapidly and there
was such an amount of it to be
handled in compare lively small
space that it was with the greatest
difficulty that the platforms were
kept clear for incoming trains.
The first week in September is
always the heaviest week in the wear:
so many people returning on the
first of September from the lake and
mountain resorts, in order to put the
children in school, that it makes an
immense traffic. The fact that this
great amount IF baggage was handled
with reasonable promptitude, saws
the Municipal Journal and Engineer
and that very few trunks were either
lost or seriously damaged speaks vol
ulnes for the efficiency of our trans
pOrtation lines.

EMPTY PIPE BRINGS SLEEP.
Odd Rem edy for Ins MA Sugg ested
by One Who Has Tested It's
Efficacy.

After giving a fair and patient trial
to each of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness, the writer stumbled
across a simple method of inducing
somnolence that has the merit of be-
ing harmless and inexpensive. To
smokers the remedy involves no cost
whatever, but of non-smokers the cap
ital outlay of the price of pipe is re-
CURED. 1t must be wooden pipe, and
curved, not straight.
Having retired for the night, the suf-
ferer should lie perfectly fiat on his
back, discarding pillow rests, and puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired re-
suit usually is achieved after from
about 60 to 100 puffs have been made.
The putting should be done slowly, with
a deep, inhaling movement. The ex-
polling motions must be made DELHI
erately with narrowed mouth. Dur
ing the entire operation the pipe should
not be removed, as each displacing and
replacing movement tends to wakeful-
ness.
Those capable of great concentra-
ton of thought should, if smokers,
imagine they see volumes of smoke,
and those who eschew the burning
weed will be helped by counting the
puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe is in the mouth,
says the New York Mail and Expresa
bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable 10
be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger in fall
ing asleep with the stem edge of a
curved pipe caught between ones teeth.
Sleep always causes the grip to be re-
Taxed. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.

SAXONY'S ECCENTRIC KING.
Interesting Stories Are Told of the
Peculiar Habits Of the Former
Ruler.

The newspapers have lately been
full of incident of the life of the de-
ceased king of Saxony, but they are
mostly connected with his public mil
itary career. Of his private life little
is told except that in it's extreme sim
plicity it resembled closely that of
Emperor William I.
It is reported that King Albert had
a rooted objection to exchanging his
old clothes for new ones, and it was
only with great difficulty that his
groom of the chamber could persuad de
him to have new coat tried on. One
day when he had just undergone the
torment of having clothes tried on,
the king happened to pass through the
famous hall of the knights, in the
Dresden palace. Looking up'at the fig.
ures of the mail-clad knights, he said,
with deep sigh: "What a good time
the old knights had in their iron
armor; they were troubled with no
creases."
A retired captain of the Saxcny
army, whom everybody knew as being
under his wife's thumb, applied for
permission to wear his old uniform
on special occasions. The king wrote
on the margin of the applica ton: 81
am quite willing, if his wife per-
mits it,"

GOOD FOR JEWELERS..
PtnE-POnE II Said to Be Hard ON
Watches and the Repairer
VIII Profit.

"Ping-pong is a fine game" said
jeweler, who does lot of repairing,
to Sun man. s'No outdoor or in
door sport has ever given us so much
to do. 1t is surprising how many
persons have broken their watches
since the game became fad, says
the New York Sun.
"You see, people play the game
without removing their coats or
waistcoats. In the excitement they
forget about their watches, and the
first thing man knows his time
piece bounds out of his pocket.
Sometimes it strikes the table, but
wherever it does fall the watch is
damaged.
''That is not all. A player may tie
his watch to his pocket, but still it
gets out of gear. The constant jump
ing around and the swinging of the
arms disturbs the works so the watch
has to be brought to us to be regu-
lated.
II have had as many women's
watches as mems to repair. The
women are even more careless than
the men. Their watches dangle from
their shirt waists, and as result
the watch jumps around like a wealth
ercock in q gale of wind.
Surprising as it may seem, my in.
come from repairing watches has al
most tripled since the craze of ping.

him a job, or that he is engaged to the
Presidents daughter, or that his per-

fewer in number than the "cranks !"

against them that special legislation
may be passed by Con yress with some
hope of success. A provision for the
fine and punishment of anyone who
advocates the propriety of any civilized
nation, Or who openly justifies the kill

puohibition of the immigration or
naturalization of members of societies
which oppose organizated government
is also desirable. These provisions of

A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY.
Interesting Facts About the Great
Transformation Scene to
SauIt Ste. Marie.

Few people have any notion of the
stupendous operations going on at
Sault Ste. Marie, the little Canadian
village on the shores of Lake Supe-
rior, where an industrial center of
enormous magnitude is now being
created by the energies of one man.
"Harnessing Lake Superior" is the
title of an article in Pearson's, which
gives this remarkable story: Give
years ago the sleepy little Canadian
town of Sault Ste. Marie numbered
$500 Inhabitants. Past it's doors the
surplus waters of Lake Superior,
mightiest of inland oceans, emptied
into Lake Huron. Untold millions of
horse power energy lay latent in
their idly flowing eddies, but only
the slow-turning wheels of few old
-four mills stood to mark their COM
mercial usefulness, while but an oc-
casional steamer Or a paddle pro-
PEELED canoe disturbed the tranquil
surface. Almost as in night a
metamorphosis has taken place.
''Where once was a scattered group
Of village dwellings,, great stone
buildings, with towers and shafts
and connecting passageways, now
stand, and at their base deep7dug
canals wind in and out, spanned by
bridges of massive stone. Nine thou
sand workmen now earn their liv-
ings in the shops at Sault Ste. Marie,
beside the site where five years ago
the total population was but quar-
ter of that number. It is a truly
wonderful story, this story of the
growth of the little frontier town
into a great industrial centre; and
it's story is the history of the career
of one man-Francis H. Clergue."
