Good Advice to Nurses.

And the doctor, when his turn came,
told us of speech which Mr. Stuart,
president of the New York state board
of charities had delivered a few days pre-
vious before the graduating class Of the
Metropolitan Training School for Nurses.
The doctor said it was one of the most
sensible and practical public addresses he
ever heard full of valuable advice and
suggestions Mr.. Stuart exalted the pro-
fession Of nurse as a ministry of mercy,
as equally useful and equally noble as
the science of healing. He impressed
upon his hearers the Importance OF TAX
ing care of their own health; of pre-
serving neatness and attractiveness Of
appearance; of cultivating gentle, grace
full manners and observing strictly the
sanctity of the confidence that is reposed
in them by their patients. And he quoted
verse from a quaint old poem which,
he suggested, might be adopted as one
of the articles of the trained nurses

All That John Got.

THAT was all John got: and the neigh
bors generally calculated that it was all
he was entitled to. John wrapped up his
sacred gift and went back to his school
never to return to his birthplace. From
that day all relation between the brothers
was broken off. but he lived a much more
happy and contented life than the hard
working heirs. who had inherited the
farm, and he was quite popular and high
w respected in the neighborhood. One
day John was taken with a turn of fever
and. according to the custom of the
country, his friends used to "set up with
him at night. to give him his medicine

said. 'but the family were neighbors of
ours, and we participated in the excite
ment. A cunning old father tried to do

he was a school teacher. I remember

he never had gumption enough to get a
wife. John was not strong, and had no
taste for farming. but he loved books, and
while his father and the other boys were
in the fields raising hay, corn and to-
bacco, John used to sit around in shady
places reading Shakespeare. Milton and
other high-claSS literature, which brought
him into contempt among the hard-work-
ing, horny-handed neighbors, who took
no stock in book learning. and considered
a literary taste another name for lazi-
ness.
But Old Man withers, being mighty
fond of John and very proud of his ac-
complishments. sent him over to the
Pennsylvania College for two or three
years to get classical education. When
John came home he was more useless
than ever and, notwithstanding his IA
theirs pride and his own learning. he was
regarded as burden on the family.
John got school In neighboring
town and settled down there permanently
as a teacher. going home every summer
for two or three weeks, to visit the "old

Chihuahus Dcus,

The true Chihuahua breed is the smallest race of dogs in the world. They are also the most highly strung. sensitive and valiant of their kind. Their sense of sound. sight and smell is developed to a marvellous degree. and they have bark which would rise supreme above the noises of a boiler shop. A strange step sets one of the little hair trigger animals into frenzy of ear splitting rage, and yet they are so keenly intelligent that they can dis tinguish between friend and foe aI- most at first sight, sound or whif. Long before the duller senses of man can detect a foreign presence these little marvels of nerve force will have ''sized up" the intruder, and if not satisfied that all is we'll their staccato warning will wake the echoes.-Los Angeles Examiner.
