from the question of religious belief
Involved, it is worth While consider

grounded in common sense and the
requirements of human nature.

There is a constant tendency toward

Women Nurses.

Nursing is peculiarly women's woIk.
AS DR.. Worcester testifies, women are
peculiarly fitted for the onerous task
of patiently and skillfuly caring for
the patient in faithful obedience 10
the physicians orders. Ability to care
for the helpless is woman's distinc-
tive nature. Nursing is mothering.
Grown-up folks, when very sick, are
all babies, and some of us are babies
when only slightly i'll. In no other
employment but nursing can women
so well bring into action their highest
pofers In so many employments
now open to women only their brains
are wanted or the use of nimble fin
gers. Craftsmanship and brain work
are sufficient for men, because they
have incentive to make provision for
those near and dear to them. For
women it is of the highest importance
that they shall find employment IN
which their hearts as well as their
hes Dis and hands shall have full exer-
else Nursing, of all other employ
ments. offers this opportunity, and SO
nursing is the most popuar of all pur-
suits for the majority of women

Saved by an Actors Art.

Nellie Wright WIS the belle of the
little fishing village in Cornwall, in
which she lived with her uncle. For a
year she had kept company with Har-
ry Friend, and he had her promise to
marry him in the spring.
Among the visitors to the village iii
the summer came an artist. with a
fascinating manner, Gerald Street by
name Seeing Nellie in her fisher
dress ne persuaded her to sit as a
model for picture be was painting.
When one p!ctu; was finished another
was started always with Nellie as a
model, SO that Harry used to complain
hat he never saw anything of his
sweetheart.
The artist, While painting, used to
tell Nellie of the wonderful London
from which he came. and what a lot OF
money good artists model such as
she herself was, could make in a
short time. Nellie thought what
splendid idea ii would be for her to go
to London until the spring. She could
make such a lot of money towards
housekeeping. When she mentioned
the matter TO Harry, HEo was a fisher
man, he begged her net to think of
sudh thing, but eventually the fasci-
mating artist persuaded her, and she
made up her mind that she would go.
In vain her uncle and Harry expos
tulated. Its Only for few MONTHS
said Nellie; " and just think what
help my morey will be towards setting
up Housekeeping"
q shall have plenty saved by the
spring. The fishing season will be a
good one IG rather yoI didn't go"
said Harry. "You remember Cissie

back She was run over by a cab
when crossing a road and killed"
But I've more sense than two CHS

Christmas came and went, but no
sign of Nellie. For a month or two af-
ter she had left the village she wrote
regularly to Harry and her uncle.
Then the time came when no letters
arrived and Harry resolved to go to
London. He went, but could find no
trace Of Nellie and he returned home
heartbroken.
