There was a particularly atrocious
murder in certain city the other day,
after the appalling manner of that un-
fortunate being who made war, amino
furandi,' in the spirit of pirate
against certain wretched class Of
society, under the name of Jack the
Ripper" The population of the city
could not get enough OF the degrading
and shocking details. All the papers
chronicled the event some with d
decent reserve, others with more
| frankness, and one or two with a COM
pleteness of revelation and ampliflca-
| ton that left little or nothing to the
imagination.
These last were the papers that
sold! The public knew by past ex-
perience that the whole disgusting
story would be found there as nowhere
else, and they bought and read the
papers with an avidity that was ghoul-
ish. Their discussions, which you
could not but overhear in the trains
in the streets, even at the lunch
counters, were evidence that the
papers in question were only giving
them what they liked to read
incidentally, but in line with what
has gone before, the papers of the sort
which are known as yellow journals
are decried with practical unanimity
by respectable people. The more
reputable press points its fingers Of
scorn at them everywhere-but they
sell! They get the advertisements

'let the house of brute to
the soul of man" Let
me weave brief but peril
nent Interrogation for you on that
theme.
Last summer poor old woman was
run over and mangled in a frightful
manner by railroad train near my
house. One of the servants happened
to see the accident Excited beyond
measure, she suddenly burst upon us
sitting on the porch in the cool of the
evening and, without CLOSING over the
facts, bluntly told the tale. My son,
aged three and half, listened breath
lessly to the horrible recital, AS soon
as he had chance to slip in word,
he remarked:
1T makes me feel awful sad that
lady was beaded but''-here was the
point-"I would like to see her all
shubbled up in bucket!'

Russia's Military Surgeons.

The Russian military surgeons are
said to be the most experienced in the
world, because in time of peace they
do the work of nearly all the civil

the Family Nurse she is most
practical
y generation back, or even two, she
was known as the village or neighbor-
hood nurse. In her black bombazine
gown and with her face drawn to an
appropriately lugubrious length, she
appeared on the scene when illness in
vaded the home. She was famous for
the bitter herb teas she could concoct
and the gruesomc tales of past pa
tents she could relate. She had gift
for nursing and for gossip.
Quite different figure is the Family
Nurse of 1904. She. too. has the gilt
of alleviating suffering Perhaps she
had once INDUCED in the dream of be-
coming physician or a trained nurse,
but was prevented from taking the
course of study through lack of funds.
or because home duties held her in
side the family circle What more
natural than that she should follow
her inclination at home-even as her
younger sister collects souvenir
spoons or her brother goes in for
athletics.
If the family is large, with younger
brothers and sisters in plenty. the Fam
lily Nurse is by no means an idle per-
son. 1t is to her that they all look for
simple remedies and first aid to the
injured And to her the family ply
sician looks for support and assistance
when serious illness invades the
home.
To meet the latter emergency, the
Family Nurse will have on hand three
or four simple gowns made from
striped bingham or zephyr cloth in
grayish blue and white Graduate
nurses prefer all-white gowns. but
these make extra laundry. and, in the
family, add to the extra work and
expense which illness brings White

articles of clothing she dons for real

Another faculty which the Family
Nurse possesses is her appreciation of
the Importance of immaculate cleani-
ness. Sterilizins she understands
thoroughly, and the various methods
of disinfecting rooms and household
articles. In isolating an infectious
case, all articles of no particular value
which have been employed in the
sick room are burned. Articles which

from long usage. Every invalid knows
the added discomfort of new and irri-
tating bed linen
A clever physician has said that the
most important characteristic Of the
up-to-date nurse is her knowledge Of
what not to- do In other words, she
does not lose her head and act rashly,
but administers alternating treatment
and summon a physician promptly.

In the matter of diet. the Family
Nurse is her own chef She does not
trust to haphazard receipts, but counts
among her treasures an able work on
dietetics. Several very good manuals
of cookery for inva1ids have been
prepared by heads of training schools.
and these have the endorsement Of
physicians generally. They can be
obtained from any good book or de
partment store.
The Family Nurse who can indulge
her fancy will find many luxuries for
her invalid friends, which make ap-
propriate gifts. An eiderdown Gov
cred water-bag is a cold-weather com
fort; warm, feecy, sleeveless kimouas
are offered especially for the sick,
