NURSES HELD IN BONDAGE
Forced to Be Slaves to Secure Neccs-
sary Training in Hos
pitals.

There is one criticism of the nucs-
valid: The training is entirely too
institutional, the education and life too
mechanical, says American Medicine.
The great majority of nurses must 30
out into the common and ordinary life
of the people, the home life, and at
tend to the sick under such conditions.
The hospital training, while necessary.
has become too exclusive. The cir
cumstances in the home and hospital
are different, root and branch.
In private homes a hundred prob
lens and conditions face the nurse
which are unknown in the institution
This is especially true of nursing in
the homes of the middle, lower and
lowest classes. 1t is a criticism, in
deed, which in a lesser degree also ap-
plies to the medical profession, with
its colleges, laboratories, hospitals and
dispensaries. But with the young med
ical man the abuses have not and can
not become so marked and SO general
as with the nurses
One Of the reasons for the absurd
exaggeration of institutionalism and
hospitalism among the nurses is a
shame for which the medical profes
sion is chiefly responsible, the habit
Of crushing the life out of the pupil

is an evil responsible for many others

FIGHT WITH HUGE SEA BAT

Imagine jet black bat of II or more

resemblance to bats and were the bats

TRUCKMEN ARE BROTHERLY
The Man with an Empty WAGON
Makes Way for Another
with a Load.

Truckmen are pretty sure to be
brotherly, when brotherIy hand is
needed. Here was such a hand extend
ed IN somewhat unusual way, says
the New York Sun
Halted in front of store in down
town street was truck drawn up along
side the curb. while at same time there
was backing up to the curb in front of
store on the other side directly oppo-
site truckman with a big. empty
truck to take on load. and coming. at
the same time, up the street, which has
heavy grade at this point, was a mau
with three-horse team hauling a big
truck with heavy load of some sort
of manufactured iron goods.
With the truck against the curb as
it was on one side, and the truck Of the
man backing up on the other. project
ing out as it would be with the truck
in that position, there wouldn't be
room for the team coming to get by:
and the man coming up didn't want tC
halt his team. good one, but with
about all thel oad it could handle on
that grade. And SO the man with the
three-horse team. as he keeps coming
right along, sings out to the man
backing up, who had already got his
truck all but into position:
Say, BILL
And Bill, without any hesitation.
slowed his truck out of position again
and around diagOnally lengthwise Of
the curb on his side, so giving the man
with the heavy load coming up the
grade room to pass.
Which he did without a word Of
thanks to- the man who had thus made
way for him. But no thanks were nee
essary; for the man backing up, who
now proceeded once more to put his
truck into position, knew that if their
situations had been reversed the other
driver would as promptly have made
way for him.

NEATNESS OF THE CHINESE
Personal Habits Contrast Markedly
with Their Usual Sur
roundings.

Next time you are in Chinatown, no.
tice the finger nails of the inhabitants.
You will be surprised possibly, to find
that they are generally as clean and
bright as though they had just come
from the manicure, says the New York
Sun.
AS are his finger nails, so is the rest
of the Chinaman's body. 1t is one Of
the queer contradictions about this con-
Trajectory people that although their
houses are usually surrounded by q
fringe of dirt, and although they don't
take to modern sanitation a bit, they
are very cleanly in their personal hab-
its.
The daily bath is an institution A
bathtub is not necessary. Your China
man manages very we'll with a few
cupfuls of water and a washrag.
He completes his toilet by polishing
his long nails. and every day or so
he visits the barber, who shaves not
only the scanty hair on his face, but
also his head and the inside of his
ears. If he can afford it the Chinaman
puts on a clean blouse every day or
two. 1t is no accident that these peo-
pie are nation of laundrymen It
comes to them naturally.
Last summer a bunch of university
students took a summer job on a big
California ranch. The regular hands
had a good deal of fun over their hab-
its of personal cleanliness

1t is seldom that hurricane and

over the district in the evening, and
when the gale was at its height, about
ten o'clock, large f1oeks Of quail, which
musthaye been migrating at an invisible

Poisons That Leave No Trace.

The late Sir r. Christison. M D., of
Edinburgh, testified at recent trial
that there existed poisons which left
no trace of their work behind. He was
about to mention one, when the Judge
stopped him, remarking that such
knowledge was not desirable to be
bruited abroad. Next morning, Sir
Robert was besieged with inquiries
contained in letters, asking for the
name of the poison. The writer's. of
course, professed that their interest in
the matter was Of an entirely scien-
tific nature.

PICTURES OF MARTYRDOM.
Curious Minglipg of Ancient and
Modern Scenes in Coliseum
of Rome.

One of the oldest minglings OF the
ancient with the modern is a moving
picture reproduction of the martyrdom
of an early Christian in Rome.
The scene, says the New York Her
aid. first shows the amphitheater. the
galleries filled with the populace
while Emperor Nero leans forward
from his box.sthe better to observe the
procession of the martyrs passing over
the yellow sands Of the arena.
The pageant concluded there is q
pause while one of the victims is fas-
tened to a rude cross. The attendants
hurry from the place and Immediate
ly live lions appear. These precipi-
tate themselves upon the unfortunate
confess0r, and the picture ends with
the wild beasts prowling about the
arena looking for other prey, while a
little heap Of bones represents all that
is left Of the victim.
Of course, the victim, strapped to
the cross, is taken down after the ma
chine has been stopped and while the
attendants hold their poses. Before
the picture making is begun again a
dummy Of horsefesh with a face mask
is substituted, but this deception is
not apparent in the film, and the Pa
risians are f1ocking to the exhibition
to sbudder delightedly over the pic
tured proceedings Of tirae many cen
turies before the invention of photog-
raphy.
The Coliseum is a very solid struc-
ture, restored from that in Rome, and
in the course of time we shall be able
to lean back in our padded chairs and
witness the hippodrome races and
other spectacles that delighted the
masses in the time of Nero. \

The ladies are laughing at strange
headdresses beneath the light scarfs.
Several are in Louis XIV style, one has
the old Norman cap and another a
Pierrette.
The gentlemen wear long wigs and
whiskers, while one is disguised as a
