Tribute to Hospjtal Nurses

Sir James Crichton Browne, tho
well-known London doctor, recently
paid a compliment to the nurses EN-.
ployed in the asylums, and remarked
that if young scions of the nobility
must marry women outside their class
the asylum nurses were well acquaint-
ed with mental foibles and would on
the whole make better wives than
gayety chorus girls.

on the difficulty Of editing paper
to suit everybody. Following is the
article in question:
Tho editor of the American web
knowns how impossible it is to edit
paper just to the liking Of every
body, and any man wi gray mat
ter in his intellectual cocoanut to
pound salt in q rat hole without
receipt. knows that such thing
can not be done. One element will
bless the outspoken newspaper, the
other will curse it. Folks will pat
the fellow on the back which scores
their person enemies, but let the
paper step on their pet cOrns and
the ether is filled with walls. If a
man edits a conservative paper. both
sides will kick it and wish for a
paper with the courage of its convlc-
tions, one which is not afraid to call
. spade a spade. Some folks VIII
tell the editor there is no news ana
then roast the paper for not men
tioning a party given at their house
the night before. Some want pa
uer to tell the whole truth on all oc-
casions. while others argue that
such things be left out, and some
desire to edit the paper themselves
that their cussedness may be white
washed and the other fellow S short

BUG" QUESTION
HARD TO ANSWER
Child's Query Gives Washing.
ton Pedagogues Difficult Nut
to Crack.

Is tomorrow Tuesday. or will to-
morrow be Tuesday? II tomorrow Is
Tuesday. why not yesterday is Sum
day? II tomorrow will be Tuesday,
then Tuesday will never be. for to-
morrow is to-day.
Get this straight; Tomorrow VIII
be Tuesday all right. but then when
tomorrow comes. tomorrow will be
to-day. Naturally, it Is wrong to re-
fer to 1t in the future tense. But II
tomorrow is Tuesday. why not yes
terday Is Sunday, since yesterday was
to-day until the stroke of midnight?
Hcre you have the queerest kind OF
query. 1t has Washington by the
ears. and promises to cause a spasm in
Richmond. The problem got into the
public prints of the national capital
yesterday, and Richmonders who goa
hold of papers containing this riot of
thought have promised to put up d
neat puzzle to be solved by DIR. J. A! C.
Chandler.
One OF the Washington papers says:
some school child innocently started
this awful complication by innocently
trying to catch teacher. But teacher
got to thinking it over and passed 1t
along to the head English teacher"
One OF the learned Washington peda-
gogues explained 1t in this manner:
.If one is referring to the name of the
day. then tomorrow is Tuesday. If
you are looking a. Tuesday as some
thing that is going to happen. then
tomorrow will be Tuesday"
But he admits that this is lodging
the question, and still faces the problem
CT when, in the first instance. to-mur-
row is Tuesday. why isn't yesterday
Sunday? And while you are about 1t,
why not try this on your piano: us 1t
