Read r his Merchants.

Anew law went into effect the first
of last month, which is liable to
cause trouble for dealers in cigars
until they become acquainted with
it's provisions. Heretofore all that
was necessary was for dealer when
they were sold from the box to de-
stroy the stamp. Now it is different.
The dealer may destroy the stamp
and then use the empty box for dis
play purposes, but ifit goes out of
his hands, either sold or given away
he must in addition to destroying
the stamp, also destroy the caution
notice which is pasted on the side
and bottom, and also destroy the
factory number. Then the cigar
box can lawfully be given away

And another one here. in Pike;
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And All awkward hand in Z row.
But he never flunked. and he never
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took
a thousand times he swore.
He'd hold her nozzle again the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Missis-
sip,
And her day come at last
The MovaStar was better beat.
But the Belle she wouldn't be pass
ed.
And SO she come tearin' along that
night
The oldest craft on the line
With nigger squat On her safety
valve.
And her furnace crammed. roSin
and pine.
The fire burst out as she clared the
bar.
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as a flash she turned. and
made
For that willer-bank on the right
There was rrnnin', and cursin'. but
Jim yelled out
Over all the Internal roar.
I'll hold her nozzle again the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot black breath OF the
burrin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard.
And they all had trust in his cussed-
ness.
And knowed he would keep his
word,
And. sure's you're born. they all got
off
Afore the smoke-stacks iell--
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke OF the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint: but a: jedsment
Id run my chance with Jim.
Longside some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with
him.
He seen his duty-a dead sure taing-
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-going to be too
On a man that died for men.
OF the same order of literature with
the foregoing is the other poem re-
ferred to-
Little Breeches."
I don't go much on religion,

But I've got a middlin' tight grip, sir,
On the handful O. things I know.

Ever since one night last spring.

TRAINED NURSES NEW FIELD.
One Teaches Rudiments of Calling to
 Wcl1-tO-Do Women.


 A bright woman, holding the ,certih- cate of trained nurse, has discov- cred new field of labor for members of that profession. Possessing tall ent for imparting knowledge rather than a love for tending the sick, she has opened classes where well-to-do women in private life may learn the rudiments of trained nursing-enough to enable them to assist the doctor in- telligently in their homes, in cases not serious enough to require the service of the professional nurse or where an invalid member of the family has con- stantly to be cared for.
 The house in which she lives has been fitted up as a model of it's kind for nursing purposes. The rooms con- tain all modern sick-room improve ments and appliances. When class Is in session it moves from one room to another according as the lesson of the day demands. How one should dress In the sick-roOm and personal hygiene in order to prevent contagion is the first piece of instruction given to the class. Each pupil is asked to provide herself with the necessary cap and apron and linen dress is recommend ed, for regular sick-room work is done, and street costumes might get dam- aged or be very inconvenient.
 The care of the bed, how to keep it clean and comfortable, is next learned The shaking of the mattress, how to spread the sheets and best to arrange the pillows that the patient may lie easily and be cool. Lifting the patient lightly and gently in order to change the bedding or shift the position is then mastered, followed by instruction In moving the convalescent, with many little hints toward making her con- fortable on any available couch or chair. For lessons when practice of this kind is required a woman is en- gagged by the teacher to represent the patient. The last few lessons, says the Boston Post, are devoted to teach ing the most approved diets for pa- tients in various cases. The cooking of the food for invalids and the dainty serving and the best method of feed ing these are also taken up.

Worlds Best Timekeeper.

The best timekeeper in the world is said to be the electric clock in the basement of the Berlin observatory, which was installed by Professor Foerster in 1865.
 It is enclosed in an alright glass cylinder, and has frequently run for periods of two and three months with an average daily deviation of only flf- teen one-thousandths of second.
 Astronomers are making efforts to improve even this and to secure ideal conditions for the clock by keeping 1t not only in ap airtight case, but in an underground vault, where neither changes of temperature nor of baro- metric pressure shall ever affect it, Electrical World and Engineer.
