FURNISHED BOND OF AMITY
Discounted GOOD Samaritan" the Un-
willing Means of Bringing Rival
HumorIsts Together.

Once upon a time two humorists
dwelt in the same small town and both
contributed to the Sunday Star. AS
was but natural, they became wildly
Jealous of each other, and when one
would win a little more prominence
than his fellow the other would have
seven kinds Of fits. Your Pleasant
Valley Items give me a pain!" quoth
one. Your prose rhymes make me
Ill" retorted the other. AS they were
about to come to blows there ap-
peared on the scene a Good Samaritan,
and to him they appealed. (Which of
us is the funnier?" they asked. Meth
er!" was the prompt reply. "You are
both as unfunny as wart hogs, and as
tiresOme as O trip across the Sahara!
Thereat they both set upon the gen
tleman from Samaria and beat him
full sore, and dWelt together in amity
forever after.
Moral: From this we should learn
that while humorists delight in quar-
reling among themselves, they fire.

Real Tragedy of the Stage.

A beautiful actress, Fraulein Oar
mer, was killed by accident recently,
while playing at the Theater of Va
rieties at Berne, Switzerland. The last
act of the comedy, "The Pride of the
Third Company" was coming to an
end when Fraulein Darmer fell
through defective stage trap to a
distance of six feet and fractured her
skull. The actress was carried uncon-
scious to her room and doctor was
ia prompt attendance, but the case
was beyond his help, and as the cur

the girl died. Neither the members of
the company who took the final call"
nor the public, who wondered why the
actress did not appear, had the slight
est idea Of the tragedy that had oc-
Cured behind the scenes.

zULUS AS TRAINED NURSES
PractIca! Work for Humanity Being
Carried ON by Missionaries
in Africa.

The American board maintains in
connection with its hospital in Durham,
South Africa, a training department
for nurses. A class of four has just
graduated. Each girl received new
ly designed pin, and in connection with
her diploma DR.. James B. McCord, in
charge of the hospital, gives to each
check for a sum amounting to i've
dollars month for the time she was
In training.
The girls are to serve among their
own people, one being already en-
ployed at Inanda seminary, where her
chance teaching will be carried far
and wide.
We quote a few sentences from the
graduating essay of one of these Zulu
nurses 1t shows how little she knew
to start with, and also how thoroughly
the essentials have been drilled into
her mind Miss Nomhlatuze Bhengu
said:
Our training as nurses has been g.
great help to us in many ways. We
knew nothing about treatment of chill
dren in our own homes. Children are
given solid food when very young, and
they are not kept clean and warm,
and they are fed irregularly, and many
Of our children die because they are
not we'll treated and given strong
medicine while still young. But here
have been taught that children
should not be given solid food during
the first ten months Of their life. /
have been taught that babies should
nurse regularly at appointed intervals,
should have a cleansing bath every
day and clean clothes put on each
day
Here we have been taught to give
patients baths every day, 1t does not
matter how i'll they may be. :. We
have also been taught how to keep the
patients SO other people will not get
the same disease. We keep the patient
by herself lin tuberculosis), her rishes
and everything which we use about
her near her bed and disinfect our
hands whenever we touch her.
I'VE have learned to keep our
bodies as they should be kept; such
as taking baths every day, brushing
our teeth and other necessary habits
which are necessary to keep us we'll"
And SO the little composition runs
on, naively describing its writer's sur
prise at the surgery of the hospital,
and naming some Of the troubles
which seemed to her most common or
most wonderful in their cure. When
we leave here" she says, I'VE hope to
teach others of our race to care for
themselves and to help their friends
| In sickness and in health" And that
missionary spirit is strong in al the
zulus who have come in touch with
the Durham hospital.
