For Three Years ‘He Sufi‘ered— Could

Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-
Velous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the night’s coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a ‘
struggle to breathe was before him.

CHILDREN’S NURSES.
THEY ARE TRAINED FOR THE occu-
PATION AND IN GREAT DEMAND.
Good Salaries Paid—The ms Engaged
“this? «free» Gnu...” - m
l I ' ’1' nongh to Fill the Many Requests from
Almost Every Country in the World.
In these days, when all fields of
work, especially woman’s work, are
said to be overcrowded, it is a relief
to find one exception. This exception
is the: profession of trained ”nursery
maids; the demand being from fifty to
a hundred per cent greater than the
supply. .
“We can graduate about twenty-
three girls a year,” said- the Superin-
tendent of the New York Training
School for Nursery Maids, “and ' we
have applicants for several hundred
during that time. The subject of train-
ing nurses for the care of children is
receiving each year more attention,
and intelligent parents are beginning
to feel that the old idea that any per-
son can. mind a baby is about ex-
hausted.
“This training school for nursery
maids is the oldest in the world, and
up to two years ago it was the only
one.
with Mrs. Robert W. Chapin, who,
owing to some serious mistake of a
nurse, began to think what a good
thing it would be if we could have in-
telligent wwen with training to care
for our babies. She thought the mat-
ter over, and, selecting the Babies’
Hospital as the most suitable place,
offered to support two or three nurses
for the year if the management would
give her plan a trial. This trial proved
so satisfactory that the school was
founded, and has been enlarged,
though, as I said before, it lacks a
great deal of supplying the demapds
for trained nurse maids. Our waiting
list is large, owing to the very limited
number of girls we can accommodate.
An applicant, to be admitted, is re-
quired to be not under twenty and not
over thirty, to be perfectly healthy, to
come well recommended, and to have
a good common school education. Un-
der no circumstances do we consider
an applicant where th-ereis a suspicion
of lung trouble. The reason for this is
perfectly obvious to any one with any
knowledge of the relations between a
baby and its nurse. The applicants
are received on one month’s probation,
and if at the end of that time they
prove satisfactory they finish the
course of six months.
Their wages on leaving the school
are in a measure regulated by us. The
wages paid our graduates on first
leaving us—they are always engaged
several months ahead of their gradua-
tion—are $20 a month.= Afton that
time, of course, their wages depend on
their own efforts, for if a nurse makes
herself valuable a. mother is always
willing to increase the pay to a reason-
able amount. Many of our graduates
receive as much as $50 a month, which
is very good when one takes into con-
sideration the few expenses of a, nurse.
She- has one of the most desirable
rooms in the house, for the nursery is
always a good room. When the family
travels she goes in the same coach.
Next to their parents, the children love
and respect her.
sider ‘a little knowledge a dangerous
thing,’ but we seek to make them ca-
pable of taking a healthy baby and
keeping it healthy. The nurse learns
nursery hygiene in its broadest sense,
with the rudiments of kindergarten.
As a life work for women this profes-
sion seems much to be preferred to
that of a shop or factory girl. We

That Old Cork Leg.
In the time of the Crimean war a
regiment of infantry was ordered to
a position where some sharp work was
going on. .
In the action an Irish soldier named
Thady, whose father was a second-
hand dealer, happened to get his left
leg blown off just above the knee.

"him up, and carried him to a place of
safety.

CONVENT IN CATACOIV‘BS.
Baron de Baye’s Vivid Pen Picture Ma
Unique Russian Institution. .
The following extract taken from a
the convent in the catacombs of the
Cathedral at Kiew describes, perhaps
the most unique institution of its kind
in Russia, we might say, in the wo'i-ld:
—“This subterranean convent is also
called Laura. In: Russian Laura is
synonymous with ‘convent;’ in modern
Greek it signifies ,‘little cells.’ This
catacomb monastery, made illustrious
by the virtues of its first founders.
Theodore and Antoine, preserves in its
immense subterranean passages the in-
corruptible bodies of its ascetics and
its miracle workers. Here is shown
the tomb of the monk Nestor, the first
Russian historian.
“There are fifteen hundred monks at
the Laura of Kiew. He who would
study the ethnography of Russia is at
liberty to dwell for a certain length
of time in this monastery, which firms
:1 little city in itself. Here will be met
representatives of every race in Bus-
sia, for pilgrims flock here from every
part of the Empire. Nothing can be
more picturesque than their encamp-
ments in the courtyards and gardens
surrounding the old Cathedral.
“When I entered this temple for the
first time evening vespers was being
celebrated. The walls of the edifice
were completely hidden by the plaques
of gold and silver covering them and
by the gorgeously bejewelled golden
frames surrounding the images, before
which were burning hun reds of mul-
ti-colored lamps, held by so invis-
ible a wire that they resembled more
a golden glittering shower of raindrops
than sanctuary lamps. Through the
clouds of incense and the glimmer of
thousands of candles, more brilliant
and luminous than any I had ever seen
before, the saintly images had the ap-
pearance of being ofi in the great dis-
tance. 0n the main altar the figure
of the patron saint scintillated in its
aureolas of diamonds.
It was impossible to approach the
sanctuary, the distance which sepa-
rated mc from it seemed impassable.
The tiling had disappeared entirely un-
der a multitude of prostrated human-
ity, pressed closely one against the
other, rising sometimes to make the
sign of the cross, and prostrating them-
selves to the ground again to kiss it.
They resembled a human ocean, now
calm, now agitated, from the bosom
of which prayer arose in the form of
a long sigh or the vibrating song of
faith. ,
“And deep down, under all this gor-
geousness, stretched corridor after cor-
ridor of subterranean cells, catacombs
in which only the dead have been
thought to dwell, and deprived of light,
air, ventilation—fifteen hundred men
1in this death in life existence. It
is true they have spacious gardens in
which to roam at certain hours, but
their devotions, their duties, are all
performed in these living graves; they
sleep and eat there, and before them
‘deatli,’ around them are the mumified
bodies of their former associates.”
TELEPATHY WITH A DOG.
The Exhibition Given by Mr. Davis Before
the Boston Scientific Society.
W. E. Davis of Boston possessess a
dog that does things which. his master
thinks are the. result of telepathy. He
gave an exhibition of the dog recently
before the Boston Scientific Society
that aroused 'ain immenseamoun-t of
interest.
Among the score or so of performan-
ces by the animal was one that neces-
sitated the exercise of something that
approached very closely to human in-
telligence. Mr. Davis first spread out
red, blue, salmon and yellow handker-
chiefs in the order prescribed by the
spectators. The dog picked them out
as suggested by those who witnessed
the test at the mental commands of
Mr. Davis. The dog apparently paid
no attention to the commands of the
spectators and Mr.' Davis never re-
peated the order, but simply said:
“You heard what the gentlemen said.
Bring it.” The dog brought it in each
case.
Similar experiments were made with
four numbers on blocks, five silver
pieces, and numbers on a slate. Sev-
eral times the number was not spoken,
but simply written. on the slate or in-
dicated with the fingers. Mr. Davis
was blindfolded several times during
the test, but it did not seem to make
any difference, as Dodgerfield, the dog,
had some way of understanding his
master’s wishes—New York Sun.

A, FAMOUS FAMILY. ;
' FACTS RECALLE‘D BY THE DEATH OF
‘oucuess D’ALENCON IN PARlS.
_—.—_—— S
The Great Disaster Marked an Epoch in
the Life ofa \Voman \Vho Lost a Crown
by Frivolous Flirtatlon — Disappoint-
‘ 'n‘ieiit caused ’tii‘n ‘ Royal-Lover’s Suicide.
Tlie'dea? of the Dtic-hess d'Alencont '
in the P3 is disaster recalls some in-
teresting facts in the life of this ex-
traordinary woman. She was a
daughter of the Archduke Maximilian
of Zweibruecken-Birkenfeld a side-
line of the royal house of Bavaria.
Besides Sophie, the late Duchess
d‘ Alencon, there are several children
of the Archduke Maximilian, of whom
Elizabeth, the Empress of Austria, and
Carl Theodor, the famous physician,
oculist, and philanthropist, are the
most widely known. All the children,
however, for some reason or other
have attracted the attention of Europe
at some time.
But neither the Empress of Austria-
nor ‘the Archduke Carl Theodor has
attained to the notoriety of their sis-
ter, Sophie, for she forfeited a king-
dom and on the eve of her marriage
to a King lost the crown because of
her frivilous flirtation with a young
oflicer. The Princess Sophie was born
in 1847, and at the age of 19 was the
most beautiful woman at the Bavarian
court. Like her sister, the Empress,
she had a. magnificent figure, dark
eyes, and black hair. At this time
Ludwig II, was King of Bavaria, be-
in then 21 years of age. The King
was of romantic character. He was
ambitious and idealistic, a great love:
of art, and one of Wagner’s most en-
thusiastic admirers and protectors.
His love of Wagner’s music amounted
almost to a passion. In this the Prin.
cess Sophie sympathized with the
King. The common interest in music
attracted them to each other, and
son the King become the constant
companion of his cousin. It was not
long before the Court perceived that
the King was deeply attached to So-
phie, and that she seemed to recipro-
cate his affection. The enthusiastic
nature of the King manifested itself
in these days of his first love. He was
extremely happy, and wrote to his
fiancee letters of the deepest tender-
ness and: affection. The Princess was
in the habit of turning these letters
over to her father, and through his
carelessness they fell into the hands
of unscrupulous courtiers. One of
them is addressed “To My Dearest
Elsia,” and signed “Lohengrin.”
Great was the preparation made for
It was the ambi-
tion of the King to make it the great-
est royal wedding .of modern times.
He was during all his life most lavish
in his expenditures and a great lover
of display. His castles are monuments
of prodigality. All Munich was to cel«
ebra-te the wedding, and the crowded
heads of Europe were to lend pomp to
the occasion by their presence. While
the preparations were proceeding on a
great scale, the King, without a word
of warning, suddenly left Munich, and,
accompanied by two servants, went to
his castle on Starenberk Lake. Soon af-
terward it was announced that the
King had broken the engagement. At
that time Only very few knew the true
reason for the King’s action, and these
few were so nearly concerned in the
shipwreck of royal love that they were
most careful to guard the secret. The
wedding had been set for August 25,
1867, the date which was also the birth-
day of the King. Ludwig, however,
forbade any celebration of the anni-
versary, and spent .the entire day in
the solitude of the Bavarian Alps.
Only a few days before he had written
to the Princess Sophie: “I thought I
had your heart, but I know I never
possessed it. You want my hand, but
you care nothing for my heart. My
hand and my throne go only with my
heart. She who is to be my queen
must love me truly. Farewell.”
The rumors which were first whis-
pered as to the cause of this love trag-
edy at the Bavarian Court, have since
the death of the King been proved his-
torial fact. While the King paid his
devotions to the Princess, and while
she simulated affection for him,.she se-
cretly maintained a desperate flirtation
with a handsome young officer named
Hanfstaengl. Young H'anfstaengl was
a son of the Councillor Hanfstaengl,
one of the most versatile artists of Ba-
varia. So d-eep was the love of Sophie
for young Hanfstaengl, that she gave
to him some of her most costly jewelry,
and the discovery of these gifts led to
the disclosure of Sophie’s unfaithful—
ness. She was obliged to leave the
court. Soon after she married the Duke
d’Alencon. King Ludwig became a
woman hater. He had lost all faith in
the sex. .
On June 16, 1886, King Ludwig com-
mitted suicide in Starenberg Lake.
The death of her cousin deeply affect-
ed Sophie. She became mentally un-
balanced, and spent a number of years
' in an asylum at Gratz in Austria.-

LUCK OF A BRIDESMAID.
Slie Caught the Bride’s Bouquet and D15-
covered al’rofitable Occupation.
Under ordinary circumstances, paint
ing flowers in water colors isn’t a
source of immense profit. Neverthe-
less, there is a. girl in Boston who is.
reapinga rich harvest from it. It all
began in this way. The young artist
was one of the bridesmaids at the wed-
ding of a wealthy friend; and was the
lucky one who caught the bride’s bou-
quet when it was thrown to the maids.
The idea occurred to her that it would
be a graceful thing to make a sketch of
the bouquet and give it to the bride;
and being clever with her brush and
having akeen sense of artistic possi.
bilities, she succeeded in, combining
the rather stifi bouquet, a fan, a pol-
ished table, and a shimmering pale
green scarf into a delicious bit of color
and sentiment.
The bride was in ecstacies. So Were
her friends. Soon, one of the brides-
maids needed bridé'smaids .of‘ her own.
It wasn’t the artist, ‘fn spite of her luck
in catching the bouquet. This bride
refused to be happy unles she, too,
could have a sketch of her bridal bou-
quet. The artist charged a good price
this time, and, to her surprise, found
herself the originator of a social fad.
She became as much a part of a swell
wedding as the caterer, florist, or
bridegroom. Being gifted with a share
of the wisdom of the serpent, she saw
that the thing was too good to last, and
that the opportunity must be improved
while it did last, so she boldly put her
prices up to a most extravagant figure.
That only set the seal upon herpopu
larity, and made her still more neces-
sary to a wedding. She momentarily
expects the frost to strike her, but,
meanwhile, she gathers her harvest of
shekels and sings hymn-s of praise to
the ancient and honorable institution
of matrimony—New York Sun.

DYED THE GOOSE PURPLE.
The Bird is a Terror to Tramps and
Playmate of Children.
Lawyer William D. Brinnier of Ron-
dout, N. Y., has a curiosity in the
shape of a goose that he thinks is as
sagacious as a human being. The bird
is purple in color. -
The goose4was secured by Lawyer
Brinnier as a pet for his children, and
during the absence of the family from
home one of the youngsters secured a
box of dye and transformed the bird’s
appearance. The bird showed a.
marked partiality to the child who had
dyed it, and now foiiows: him about
wherever he goes. The children have
taught the goose to play tag with them,
and the bird seems to enjoy it. At
night no stranger can enter the yard,
the goose acting as a watchdog. .
The ether day the child who dyed
ihe g;cse ,was playing in the yard,
when a large turkey gobbler en-
' raged by the sight of a flaming red
scarf the child wore, rushed at him,
eager for battle. The frightened
youngster essayed to climb a fence,
but the gobbler was too quick for him,
seizing him by the arm and throwing
him to the ground.
Suddenly with a mighty hiss the pur-
ple goose appeared on the scene, and a
h.;ttle royal took place, the goose final~
