sickness visits the home and one of its
members is stricken. One of the chief
othceS of good nurse is to be able to
think for her patient. The slightest wish
of the sick person should be anticipated
and gratihed before she has had time to
express it If she be quick TO observe
she will be enabled to detect the first
symptoms of worry or excitement and
she will as quickly remove the cause The
patient should never be consulted be-
forehand as to what he will eat or drink
If he asks for ANYTHING. it should be
given him, providing the physician has
given his permission that what is asked
for may be had Otherwise, prepare
something he is known to like and offer
II to him without any previous comment.
An invalid should never be annoyed

All such questions as whether the room
is too hot or too cold" or whether

appealing to him.
Household affairs and troubles, or diff
hculties with servants or children. should
never be discussed in the sickroOm. OF
within hearing of the invalid Even the
! most trivial matters take on enormous
size when one is not in perfect health
! so that all such annoyance should be
spared the sufferer.
| The amateur nurse should be firm in

talk with visitors when in the conyal-
escing period of his illness. One garrul
Gus visitor may undo in 1lf an hour all

i how much her patient can bear. and
when visitors. of whose discretion she

she should politely but firmly dismiss

If women who are called upon to fake
the place of trained nurse in the sick

Pension Bank for Spinsters.

4 movement has been started in Bos-
ton by Mrs. Glendower Evans, well
known club wcman. to establish a pen
sion bank for spinsters- which. she be-
lieves. will do away with mercenarv
marriages, penniless spinsters, worry
about husbands and jokes about old
maids. She has already presented her
plan to the members of the Massachu-
sets insurance commission, and has in
tereSted many club women in her project.
Her INST problem was to determine the
age of the spinster, and after careful
deliberations she decided that it begins
at 40 years Before that age, she SAYS,
Il woman has good chances of matri-
mony. \ depositor, however, may open
an account with the insurance bank as
early in life as she pleaseS, and if she
marries before she is 10, she receives a
goodly sum TO start housekeeping with.
Ii she remains unmarried. she retains
her bank account, and at the age of 80
begins to receive regular annuity. If a
woman decides to marry after reaching
the age of 40, she gets her money back
on demand. The plan is so unusual that
Mrs. Evans expects to encounter diff
Guilty, she thinks. and some opposition in
making women understand that the plan
is to their advantage. But she has a
philanthropic band of Boston women
back of her who are ready and willing
to explain the spinster insurance prin-
ciple to spinsters, The insurance COM
mission declares that il is the most
unusual banking proposition ever adj
yanced in America, and that the women
interested are energetic enough TO make
it conform to the Massachusetts insur-
ance laws.-New York Tribune

SIDELIGHTS ON FORTUNE TELLING
Two Current Anecdotes and "Word to
the WISE

In u city in which fortune telling and
clairvoyancy is little less restricted by
law than in Chicago a plumber visited n
gypsy fortune teller the other day. paid
his quarter and was told: You are GO
ing to lose money soon, but not much. -
While the plumber was taking this
information into his head the gypsy was
taking SO out of his pocket.
1t took the plumber couple of hours
70 get wise" and then, instead of re-
joicing over ais discovery of a genuine
case of prediction of the future, he sent
the police after the gypsy. But the
gypsy had looked into the future, not
once. but twice. and was ont of reach.
In the same city on the same day an
other aspect of fortune telling came to
light A Finnish girl was told by a
seer that if she would enter the apart
ment of a certain woman on a certain
night she would find pot of gold. She
entered. but found no gold, and so took
some dresses and jewelry. In her case
the prediction gave out ut thIS point;
so she didn't run away, and she was ar
rested.
There are two morals to this.
One is that fortune tellers Fever are
weak-minded, while their patrons al
ways are.
The other is that it is 4 wise city
government that is stronger minded and
also stronger handed than its fortune
tellers.--ChicagO Record Herald

Gods Head as Food.

says the man of Gods heads. There's
a dish that makes a lasting impression.
For cooking, the head is first split open.
then it is laid in pan with a little wa
ter and placed in hot oven. When
nearly done a sauce of milk and butter
slightly thickened with -four is poured
over it, and it is allowed to remain in
the oven a little longer. When trans
ferred to a hot platter with the rich
dressing of cream sauce, and garnished
with sprigs of parsley, it will tempt most
any appetite. And its taste is even finer
than it looks.
One hotel in Boston makes speciality
of baked Gods head served not with
sauce, but with slices of pork. On Fri

Two cities are claiming Charles r.

remark. however, that a man is sure to
have plenty of friends when he arrives
at power and influence. When the an

as minister to China was made he was
accredited to Illinois and his home was
supposed to be in Chicago. But now
comes the New York World with the as
sertion that Mr.. Crane has been resi-
dent of New York for the past five years.
The fact is that there is an important
branch of Mr.. Cranes business in New
York, and that during the period men
toned he has been dividing his time be-
tween that city and Chicago. However,
a mans citizenship is dependent upon
intention as well as abode, and if Mr..
Crane has committed no overt act tech
nically changing his residence from Chi
cago to New York, he is still Chica-
goan. Whether he belongs in Chicago
or in New York, he is an American. and
