1 J ft. v ; . : .. ..... , ... ! MK A NEW OCCUPATION. A Western Girl's Success In Nursing Del icate Infants and Children. 'A young Western girl is making a hit in novel lines. She has undergone a thorough course of training and fitted herself out as a nurse for delicate In fants and young children. If one can judge by the ready patronage she se cured and the demand for her services, It is a matter -which women seeking employment should look into. "There are quite a number of wo olen who have gone into the work in England," she said, "but I believe that I am the only American so far who has taken up the profession system atically from the start, who has aimed at this end from the commencement of ..- lier career and st iX'4rthat more sirIs wl i" ! nursing have not her career and studies. It's strange 'ho love children and devoted themselves to this profession long ago. "The prices paid are often much larger than for other engagements of a trained nurse, and then there is the surety of continued employment. From my own experience I can prom ise any woman who knows her work and loves it that she will find the en gagement seeking her. "The very first step in the training Is the maternity wards. Afterwards I worked in a children's hospital. I convinced several physicians of my ability to care for sickly babes and se cured recommendations from them. Trade since the very outset has been good. Of course, riot every girl could undertake it, and fewer still carry it through. Physical strength and cour age, patience and infinite tact, love of children, and love of nursing all these are necessary qualities. Of course these is the responsibility. One can not shirk that, but all good things have their responsibilities, and these fail to discourage one when her heart is thoroughly in the work. As a usual thing it has been my good luck to meet with almost unfailing courtesy. Now and then the road roughed a bit, but tact and gentleness do wonders. Oh, I'm in love with my vocation. I proclaim it everywhere." Motherhood. Two Novel Frocks. A novel and graceful gown is of tea rose yellow crepe de chine; the skirt is bordered with festooned tucks and plisse frills and opens in front over a softness of chiffon covered by graduated medallions of old lace, the crepe de chine being bordered at either side with trails of tiny roses, whose velvet pefals shade from pale yellow to tawny orange. The softly draped folds of the. bodice are fastened in front with a trio of black velvet bows, and the fichu of chiffon and 'old lace which is drawn round the shoulders is also bordered with trails of the velvet roses, though only their foliage (also fashioned in yellow velvet) is used as an edging to the elbow sleeves, where the crepe de chine gives place to a puffed softness of lace and chiffon. jThe hat to wear with this gown is almost covered with exquisitely tinted leaves, through which pale yellow satin ribbons are entwined, while it is turned up in front with a cluster of tea-roses. A white cloth tea-gown, made in a simple semi-sacque shape, had been rendered very attractive by applica tions of cut-out brocade. This was in ivory, and the design on the silk had been of single poppies of the Shirley persuasion, strewn here and there. .They had been carefully cut out, and attached to the tea-gown in long in terwoven lines, edged with blanket stitch in various pale colors rose-pink, lemon-yellow, and cream predominat ing, the foliage being faint, green. They looked so pretty. Carnations may be treated in the same way, es pecially as white carnations are fre quently tipped with color In exactly the same fashion as the suggested stitchery. New York Commercial Advertiser. Realism In a Parasol Handle. Talking about realism, how is this In a parasol handle. The parasol is a pretty one of pale blue and the handle matches it in color; it is of wood with a tip of gold at the end, and upon this is poised what looks to be a green ball from a distance, but what is seen to be, upon closer observation, a small green apple. It is a regular "pig squealer," as a country gentleman used to call the stunted apples, grow ing on the trees upon a barren New England hillside, which were sour enough to make a pig squeal. It V" would seem as though the only thing these apples were ever good for was to serve as a model for a pretty blue umbrella ornament. To Admit Women. Cermany has it bine laws, or per 'shaps they might be termed anti-blue laws, since they are aimed against wo men's attempts to obtain knowledge reserved for men. Societies in which political or semi-political subjects are discussed are forbidden to admit "fe males, school children and appren tices," or even to "permit their pres ence during the discussions," accord ing to a Prussian law still in existence. On account of this law women could not be admitted to membership in the new Society for Social Reform," al- though it is a subject in which' Ger man women are thoroughly interested. To overcome this obstacle, Deputies in terested in the movement have intro duced a bill into the Reichstag allow ing women to become members of poli tical societies, a measure that has deeply encouraged women's rights advocates. New York Press. The designs of embroidery upon white linen frocks are distinctly Egyp tian. A characteristic piece of new mill inery is inado entirely of beetle's wings. Few feathers are being used In Paris, and embroidered batiste for hat draperies, with long floating ends, is preferred to either lace or net. Smart black velvet cuffs are worn upon tailor-made suits and the long sloping sailor collar is also seen. These collars are fastened either with a fancy pin or they are tied with rib bons. A new and dainty effect in floral garniture consists of rosebuds formed of the palest shade of rose colored chiffon. These are small in size and worn in clusters on all sorts of light boas and hats. The summer season of 1902 will un doubtedly hereafter be known as the period of the vogue of the bell sleeve, which is tight fitting over the upper arm, but slopes into a very full and puffed effect below the elbow, being gathered into some fanciful conceived cuff at the wrist. One of the pretty brooches made of baroque pearls is in the form of a pansy. The two upper petals of the flower are of white pearls, the lower ones of a deep pink oc a shade which may be called purple. There is a bud with the blossom showing a calyx of gold, the bud another white pearl. There are pansy leaves of the gold. Industrialism and Nature. Much though artists and nature-lovers may lament the destructive effect of modern industrial conditions upon our rural scenery, in common fairness it should not be forgotten that there is something considerable to be said on the other side. It is true that in many hundred places throughout our islands views once charming in their unmitigated rusticity are now scarred by reeking manufactories, or their necessary concomitants, rows of meati brick dwelling-houses, and that in other places whole country-sides have been blackened and blighted far and wide. Yet, given a tract of country not endowed with a wealth of coal and iron, or otherwise convenient for great manufactories, that very feature of an intensely concentrated popula tion which marks the industrial dis tricts will tend actually to increase its seclusion. As employers of country labor know to their cost, the increase of population in England is very far from being evenly distributed. The working classes flock more and more into the towns or great semi-urban dis tricts, and in many rural neighbor hoods the agricultural population is not increasing at all. Thus many wooded, hilly or unfertile parts of the country are left from year to year un broken by the plow, which would have been groomed into cultivation long before now if Great Britain had been a peasant nation, supporting its own population. Such lonely districts are to be found within an hour's jour ney of London. London Globe. Sold J At Liverpool Street Railway Station recently, just as the train was about to go out, a boy ran up to a ticket collector, and whispered: "Sir, there's two men traveling first, and neither of them's got tickets." Off went the inspector and searched all the first class carriages through, but without avail; all the passengers had proper tickets. Seeing his informer standing near the entrance, he shouted: "Where's the two men without tickets?" "On the engine,, of course!" shouted the boy, as he edged away. London Daily News. Norwegian Soldiers. A member of the Norwegian Parlia ment has calculated that, proportion ately, the Norwegian army costs more than any other army in Europe. Ac cording to this gentleman, each Nor wegian soldier costs annually 247 marks; next comes the Austrian fighter, with 244 marks, and then the German, with 230; the French, with 10G; the Danish, with 191; the Rus sian, with ISo; the Italian, with ICG; the Swedish, with 150, and the Rou nianian, vith 133, For heating purposes, as determined by experiment, 5000 pounds of maple or hickory or pine are equal to 2000 pounds of soft coal. Coal scams are made up of vege table lemains of former periods. For ests have an important influence on climate and on animal as well as plant life. In the comparatively unknown world of the ocean marine plants doubtless have important functions. Gautier has Recently published the results of his trials of a specific treatment for malarial fevers by an arsenical preparation, viz: As (C II 3) O 3 Na 2. It is more effective than quinine and has various advantages over the latter which need not be here described. The experiments seem to show that a very practical and import ant discovery has been made. Rain acts in two ways: (1) chemi cally, by dissolving certain substances, such as lime, out of the rocks, and (2) mechanically by wearing down their surfaces as it flows over them. Any old building a ruined castle or cathe dral, for instance shows a "weath ered" surface resulting from the ac tion of rain and wiud In sandstone structures the details of carving are often lost, and on old tombstones the lettering can hardly be deciphered. Springs are due to the rain water col lecting in rocks and rising to the sur face. Rivers are fed by rains and springs. , Every schoolboy who respects him self knows that all the story books of Pathfinders and Indian scouts agree in saying that the moss grows on the north side of trees and that Indians thread their way through the trackless forest by remembering this rule. Ev ery observant man of mature age knows by experience that the rule is chiefly exceptions. It has remained for Mr. Henry Kraemer, of Phil adelphia, to give statistics on the point. Of the trees he examined the moss was on the west side in ten per cent., on the northwest side in ten per cent., on the north side in ten per cent.,. on the northeast side in twenty per cent., on the east side in thirty-five per cent., and on the southeast side in fifteen per cent. According to the Yacht the'following conclusions respecting sound signals at sea have been reached by British ex perts: (1) In calm weather low notes are heard further than high; but the re verse is true when the sea is rough and when the wind is opposite in direction to the direction from which the sound arrives. If sometimes happens that the sound of the signal is much weak ened, or even extinguished in a cer tain region, while other areas, more distant even, hear the signal. This phenomenon has been especially noted during calm weather. (2) To hear a signal during fogs it is advisable to stop all noises on the listening vessel. It is better to stop the ship's engines. (3) Under no condition is a sound sig nal always certain. It is therefore, to be considered only as an auxiliary warning. Tlie Coyote as a Jforager. When a coyote goes off on a foraging raid by himself, and is so lucky as to catch an unsuspecting sheep or a calf out for a moonlight stroll, he will first suck the blood of his victim, and then, dragging the carcass to a shady and unfrequented retreat, will devour the choice morsels first. Before he has finished his meal he will gorge many pounds of the most substantial parts, until he resembles a sack of coal on four spindling legs. A coyote has been known to eat his weight in meat in a day and a night. Not a particle of the coyote's feast is ever allowed to go to waste, for when he is stuffed he Will snatch hold of the remnants of the carcass by his mouth, and, throw ing the flesh across his back, will start for the family abode, where the rest pf the family may eat also. Hunters tell of having found coyotes so gorged and heavy with food that their dis tended sides made it impossible for them to enter their burrows and holes. Jack rabbits are the principal food of coyotes, and both animals are provided with muscles of locomotion that are marvellous. There are few things in uature as swift as a coyote following a California jack rabbit across a plain. A fleeing jack rabbit can easily make a mile a minute for one or two miles. New York Post. The Coyote. The coj'ote is usually very lean, has a' long, slender snout and bushy tail, and looks very much like a wolf, to which family, in fact, he belongs. His fur is lighter colored in winter than in summer, being in the former season grizzly gray, with black streaks on the back, hips, and shoul ders, and tawny ones along the legs. Tba under side of the body is dingy white. "If" is a mighty small word to cause such a lot, of trouble. Thirty minutes Is all the time required to dye with Putnam Fadeless Dyes.
