Women Nurses.

Nursing is peculiarly woman's work.
AS DR.. Worcester testifies, women are
peculiarly fitted for the onerous task of
patiently and skillfully caring for the
patient in faithful obedience to the ply

helpless is woman's distinctive nature.

Of us are babies when only slightly i'll.
In no other employment but nursing can
women so well bring into action their
highest powers. In SO many employ
ments now open to women only their
brains are wanted or the use of nimble
fingers Craftsmanship and brainwork
are sufficient for men, because they have
the incentive to make provision for those

is of the highest Importance that they
shall find employment in which their

AT that instant the room became alb.
solutely flooded with lightning, not in q
single vivid flash but in a trembling
continuous glare. that suggested the eff
feet of some luminous constellation
fierce with electric energy. Before his
eyes was exhibited n startling panorama
OF the familiar objects of his lonely
abode. The brightness. so sustained and
tremulous, startled him back from the

little window that looked out over the
tiny yard in the rear of the house, and
crashed through the fagstones with the
din of a ten-inch she'll.

tinctly saw the molten splash which ac-

CHAPTER III.

WHAT THE METEOR CONTAINED.
Philip descended the stairs He was
almost choking now from another cause
than strangulation. The steam pouring
in through the fractured window panes
was sitting. He took off his coat, first
removing from an inner pocket the bun
die of letters found under Mrs Anson's
pillow, and carefully stuffed the worn
garment into the largest cavities. By
this means he succeeded somewhat in
shutting out the vapor as well as the
urid light that still fared red in the
back yard.
The lightning had ceased totally, and
the improvised blind plunged the room
into impenetrable darkness He felt his
way to the stairs and found the candle
which he relighted. The rain beating on
the roofs and on the outer pavements
combined with the weird sounds in the
nclosed yard to make terrifying racket,
but it was not likly that a youth who
at tributed his escape from a loathsome
death, sclf-inficted, to the direct inter
position of Providence in his behalf
would yield to any sentimental fears on
that account Indeed, although quite
weak from hunger he felt an unaccount-
able elation of spirits, new born desire
to live and Justify his mothers confidence
in him. n sense of power to achieve that
which hitherto seemed impossible.
He even broke into a desultory wills
Ting as he bent over the hearth and re-
sumed the laying of the fire abandoned
five minutes earlier with such sudden
soul-weariness The candle. too. burned
with CHEEKY glimmer, as if pleased with
the disappearance of its formidable com
petitor. Fortunately he had some coal

in small bin at the other side of the
yard, beyond the burial place of the rag
ing. steaming meteor, and consequently
quite unapproachable.
Soon the fire burned merrily. and the
coffee stall keepers recipe fer using coffee
grounds was put into practice. Philip
had neither sugar nor milk, but the hot
LIQUID smelled well. and he was now SO
cold and stiff, and he had such an empty
sensation where he might have worn a
belt. that some crusts of bread. softened
by immersion in the dark compound,
earned keener appreciation than was ever
given in later days to the most costly
dishes of famous restaurants yet unbuilt.
After he had eaten, he dried his damp
garments and changed his soaked boots
for a pair 80 worn that they scarcely
held together. But their dryness was
comforting, An odd feeling of content
ment, largely induced by the grateful
heat of the fire. rendered his actions

was still falling but with the quiet per
sistence that marks-in London parlance
"a genuine wet day" The steam had
almost vanished. When he removed his
coat from the broken panes he saw with
surprise that the fagstones in the yard
were dry within a circle of two feet
around the hole made by the meteor.
Such drops as fell within that area were
