An Excellent Waitress.

Nurses in training have many hard.
ships to bear. but perhaps none is
worse than having to appear cheerful
under all conditions. A sense of hui
NOR is perhaps as great an asset as
nurse can have, for it will help her
over many a difficulty.
The daughter of wealthy man be-
came ilnbued with the desire to know
how to earn her own living, and to
that end she entered one of the large
New York hosuitals as a nurse. The
work was to her liking, and as she
looked on the bright side of every.
thing, she was generally in happy
frame Of mind. Her particular pet"
was an old and illiterate sea cap
tain, who was in the surgical ward
with a broken arm which would not
knit. He was cheerful old fellow,
and his droll remarks gained for him
the good will of everybody. One day
when the nurse had paid him some
little attention, he said with an ap.
preciative smile:
Miss L. is the best waitress I ever
had!"

a Critique Of a PRAYER,

I hard Mr.. Harry Gaze lecture re-.
Gently and he criticised the prayer we
teach our infant children TO make

He said it was terrible mistake to
have placed before the mind of an in
fant child every day as a part of a
paryer the thought of death. as in az
should die before l wake"
Is 1t not a serious experiment. this
constant placing the thought of death
not only, but of "sudde.. DEATH" be.
for the mind OF a child every day and
day after day of life, and might it not
tend to result in early death?
The mind Of child is most impres.
sionable. II should not be allowed to
contemplate death, and especially the
fear of death, babitually. It's teach.
ings should be the Joy of life, OF

eELLeIRD BROUGHT TO LONDON.
Rare Specimen That Has Been So
cured for the Zoo.

A specimen Of the naked -throated
bellbird (Chasmorhyncnus nudlcollis)
has just been received at the Zoolog-
1cal gardens, London. The most re-
markable thing in connection with the
bellb1rd is its powerful voice; it ut
ters a clear, metallic note which can
be heard at a distance of three miles.
Its noise is like that produced by
blacksmith striking his anvil. Some
times 1t repeats its notes in quick
succession, sometimes at fairly long
Intervals. There is no mistake about
the voice of this bird; it is loud aud
piercing, and would, be heard above
the din produced by every inmate of
the ZOO raising it's voice at once. Ex-
cept for space of naked skin on the
throat and around the eyes, which.
during the breeding season, is of a
green color, this bird is pure white.
The contrast between the sexes in the
beilbirds, of which two species have
been exhibited in the menagerie; is
extreme. For while the male is pure
white, the female is brownish green.
Darwin refers to the be!lbild when he
points out that white is very rare
color In terrestrial species of mod
crate size and ipoffensive habits"
