Study of the Absent Minded.
Absent minded people are a curious
study, and furnish an unlimited fund of
amusement. People who hide things so
successfully that thefi‘cannot find them
are very numerous. he poetical editor
who frisks about the office frantically de-
manding his pen when that useful article
is cozily tucked behind his ear; the wo-
man who pins her jersey to the back of
her skirt and forgets it at night, puts the
skirt on in the morning, hunts in vain for
her waist, dons another and hurries away,
leaving the rccreant ersey hanging down
her back; the man w o complacently irri-
tates the wrong end of a match, and then
wonders why in the jumping almper it

A case never told, but true to life, was
observed at a recent‘iine. One of the
foreman was walking leisurely home after
the fire had been extinguished, carrying,
as he fondly imagined, his speaking
trumpet under his arm. His companion,
upon asking him where his trumpet was,
received the absent minded answer, “I’ve
got it all right." He called the foreman's
attention to the fact that he was affection-
ately conducting home a hose nozzle, and
when he asked him where his magnificent
silver trumpet was, the foreman said in
amazement: “I’m blessed if I know." A
railroad conductor on the Central Hudson
stood on a. station platform one day and
signaled his engineer to “go ahead,” and
then walked complaceutly back into the
station, and sat down. A girl recently
was in that mythical condition, “in love, ’
put the potatoes on to boil in the teapot,
and pumped water into the coal bed. All
these are veritable ‘ ‘observed phenomena. ”

Reckless Expenditure of Youth.
“To be sure the youth, must have en-
joyment; he must be amused, interested,
entertained and diverted, but I wish the

ing so directed as to make the, rice of
pastime smaller than it now is. talk to
young men every week about this very
waste of years—this reckless expenditure
of youth. time and money. but the de-
fense is more than I can controvert.
Many have never hem taught how to
read or where to look for the best
pay the highest. price for the little fun
they call Iii-u. Others are kept from sav-
ing the nest egg by the cares of a family
of brothers and sisters, and many frankly
admit that the woman they would like to
marry they d;-.re not ask to exchange the
comforts of a home for the negative cle-
gaucios of a humble fiat such as labor can
provide.
"It seems to me the fault lies with us
older heads. We parents and teachers
should do more to bring about t at spirit
of contentment which is the architect of
happiness. Our daughters should be
fitted and schooled for the home and the
duties of wife and mother. They should
value a man for his honor, his integrity,
his righteous life, and his love, and not
subordinate all these virtues to the paltry
dollar or the uncertain standing in aclub
or society When a young man is made
to believe that. an evening at home with
a 30 com magazine or a 60 cent novel
is better than a $5 lark with the boys
he will keep at the hearthstono and put
his money in the bank."—Chicago Times.
Russian Vehicle for Summer Use.
The vehicle furnished for the traveler's
use in summer is a large, heavy, four
wheeled carriage called a “tarantas,”
which consists of a boat shaped body
without seats, a heavy leathern top or
hood. and a curtain by which the vehicle
can be closed in stormy weather. The
body of the tarantas is mounted upon two
or more longlstout poles. which unite the
forward wit the rear nxletree, and serve
as rude springs to break the jostling
caused by a rough road. The traveler
usually stows away his leggings in the
bottom of this boat she 'ria‘gemovers
it with straw, rugs an blankets, and re-
clines on it with his back sup rted by
one or more large soft pillows. he driver
sits sidewise on the edge of the vehicle in
front of the passenger and drives with
four reins ii. team of three horses har-
nessed abreast. The rate of speed at-
tained on a good road is about eight miles
an hour. —-Georgo Kenuan in The Century.
A Joker Comes to Grief.
They are laughing in one cotérie about
_a youn fellow who has come to disaster
throng being at oncca joker with the
boys and a masher with the girls. In the
former capacity he is ingenious and ex-
pert in playing tricks upon his fellows at
the club. His latest device was what he
called the “goblin squirt.” It consisted
of a scarf pin, the form of which was a
comic face. calculated to make the ob-
server look close at it, and this was at-
tached to a water filled rubber bulb hidden
under his shirt bosom. The practical
workin of this invention was to press on
the litt o tank at the instant when some
curious friend had his face close to the
pin and thus eject a tiny stream of water
11 nhim. Possibly there was no great
t in this joke, but the chap enjoyed it
very much. The mistake that he made
was in not putting aside the apparatus
when he went out in his capacity of
masher.

father. I don’t think you will be able'to
remember all these hard 'names, but I'll
call them off for you, so that you can see
for yourselves how much goes to make up
a suit of clothes there, even for a boy of
6 or 7. First, then, we have the shirt,
called ”pirabau,” which buttons on the
shoulder. Next there is the tight fitting
coat of native cotton goods called “ark-
helook;” then the coat of one shade only,
named “khaeba.” Around the waist is

“‘kuledjeh,” with short sleeves ending at
the elbows.
The "overcoat or "djubbeh" is, accord-
ing to the season, of cashmere shawl
cloth, or of thick wollen stuff, or even
felt. Of course, the little fellow also
wears tight drawers, and over them short
and very wide trousers called, “shnlwnr,”
as well as short socks goi- “d urab"’.ani1

A Tooth Worth a. Million.
A charming road of seventy-four miles
carries the traveler to Kandy, the ancient
Singslese capital of the country. This is
a picturesque place, with some beautiful
views, a. residence of the governor and a
Buddhist temple, where, in a wonderfully
rich shrine, one of Gautama’s teeth is
kept. This is one of the treasures of the
“Light of Asia,” for which, it is said, the
king of Siam offered 1,000,000irupees not
long since, but in vain. The priests hav-
ing it in their care are said to be among
the most intelligent and learned of the
eastern craft, and possess» much Budd-
histic lore of great antiquity and value.
One of the attendants informed me with
much pride that Edwin Arnold worshiped
at the shrine when last in Co ion. I can-
not say that Edwin is a. Bud _ 1:, but his
writings show him quite as deeply im-
bued with reverence for Gautama as for
him we of the west claim to be the Lord.
One cannot talk with the intelligent peo-
ple at this temple without beln impressed
with the fact that their c rests with
them upon enlightened faith, and not

tho “'omen of the Professional Schools.
“will": a Record of the Case—Work
and \Vngcs.
The training school nurse is a tower of
strength, a. pillar of support, an angel of
wisdom and light. The things she can
‘do are past enumerating. She canrmako
abandage, a plaster, or a poulticc. and
put it _on the patient before the best
ousewife can hunt up the soft rag re-
quired in. the operation; she can give a
fever patient a full bath under the bed
clothes every hour, and not only clean the
body but stimulate it; she can wash a
swig child without putting soap suds in
its eye or the wash rug in its mouth; she
can comb hair, get the tangles out with-
out hurting, an keep the scalp clean; she
can make a bed without removing the in-
valid or exposing any part of the body,
and she has the faculty of beating up a
illow and whipping comfort and ease into
it. She is also an excellent cook and Can
prepare many temptin dishes for her
patients. suc as brot s and bouillon,
towit waters, gruels, custards, blanc
mango and marmalades. Her skill is
shown also in the varied combinations she
can make of milk and eggs, cereals, and
fruits, actually making the patient be-
lieve in a change of diet without depart-
ing from the prescribed fare by the doctor.
Aside from the personal care of the
patient she must keep a record of the case
if the physician calls for it, in which is
hourly noted the temperature, pulse,
respiration, and the condition 0 the
bowels, kidneys; skin and eyes of the
patient. The time of giving medicine and
food is also entered, and under the head-
ing “remarks” is noted the amount of
food and sleep taken, effects of medicine,
and whatever variations there may be in
the Case. No school repoft is made out
with greater accuracy, neatness, or le i-
bility. It explains itself to any one w 0
can read, and by referring to the several
entries the physician can treat the patient
from his bug or office just as if he went
to the sick c amber, which very many
doctors do who are pressed for time, for
in the majority of cases it is nursing
rather than medicine that brings about a
cure. Of course, it is to be expected that
some nurses will not reach the standard
here indicated, for they are but human.
The physician who encounters an incapa-
ble nurse is very likely to ‘become preju-
diced against tho entire profession, but it
only requiresthe services of a good nurse
to put him right again. , -
However, it is a poor rule that will not
work both ways, and there are plenty of
instances on record where a smart; unas-
suming young woman has brought about
the dismissal of the attending physician
because his diagnosis of the case was
faulty. Just at present the two profes-
sions are more or less contentious inas-
much as schools differ—one granting the
privilege of administering medicine to the
graduated nurse and other training
schools making such action a misde-
meanor. The wisdom of the latter sys-
tem is self evident, for it is hardly possi-
ble in the college term of eighteen months
to give the pupil nurse 9. medical educa-
tion. In schools where medical instruc-
tion formsa part of the graded course
there-is danger that the administration of
bromides. narcotics and opiates will be
carried to the ver e of rashness. If the
nurse is tired an feels herself unequal
to the task imposed, her first inclination
is to take a hypodermic injection, while
an unscrupulous one will not hesitate to
quiet a. troublesome patient with a dose
of morphine.
In cases of contagion the duties of the
nurse are most onerous. Every square
inch of the room has to be scrubbed with
soap- and water-.—walls, windows, sash,
baseboard, bedstead, table and chairs—
and afterward treated to a disinfectant
sponging. This operation done with, .the
place must. be fumigated with so] bur or
chlorine paper, after which but nurse
and patient are given an antiseptic bath
and clothed in [absolute];- clean , garment-2a
In this connection may be stated the as-
sistance a nurse renders the surgeon,
whose instrhments she disinfects after
each . operation. Fever nursing is the
most expensive to the nurse, as well as
the patron, since it requres at least two
weeks to overcome the effects. An
honest nurse will not take a. surgical or
obstetrical case within ten days after giv-
ing up a fever patient, knowing the dan-
ger there is of carrying the contagion in
her hair or some portion of her attire.
Even at her own personal loss the con-
scientious woman will; forego an engage-
ment rather than expose her patients to
the chances of fever. During the respite
she lives largely in the open air and re-
peats the antiseptic bath.
The minimum wages of a nurse are $15
a week, but in extreme cases $30 and $40
a week is paid. Provision has to be made
for her board, so that the salary is clear
gain. While the uniform of mull and
cap and seersucker gown is wholly op-
tional with the women, most of them con-
tinue to wear it in advice on hygienic as
woll as economical principles. But it
must not be imaginedthat it is all smooth
sailing in the house where disease reigns.
All the people who employ nurses do not
keep help, and in cases where the mother
or head of the house is stricken down it is
the duty of the nurse to look after the
home as well as she can. Hotwater ne-
cessitates her presence in the kitchen, and
in the‘preparatiou of the patient’s meals
the appetites of the young children are
looked after. One must be the mother'of
a large family and endure sickness and
poverty to know the value of a. faithful
nurse. Some of these patient, self sacri-
ficing girls will manage to pre are the
meals and do the housework, to cop the
children at school and away from the sick
room. Shewill chap wood, carry up coal.

difiicult for the ancients to keep down-the
growth of the heard as it is for the modern
youth to raise one. Before the invention
of the razor, which dates back less. than
two centuries, the hair was kept from no-

skin quickly with pumice stone, which
gave it that peculiar polish and, hardness
of outline noticeable in old‘ paint .

A SUBJECT OF IIIDICULE.
About 1835 boards and mustaches began
to make their appearance in this country
on the streets of the cities. and were
everywhere the subject of ridicule, so
much so that few were vain enoughto
In 1838 the fad for wear-
ing hair on the face was givenagroat
thrust forward by a picture of Count
D'Oraay. published in Frazer's Magazine,
illustrating how copiously n. chin couldbe
cushioned. and which, it was conceded,
”reached the climax of hair arrangement in
that quarter.
Still for a number of years later long
beards were considered disgraceful; as
masks behind which criminals and out-
laws sought to hide their identity. As
late as iii-18 the writer remembers to have
seen a Jew with long hair and heard
“bated" on Beaver street, in this city, b
acrowd of boys, who chased him wit
sticks and stones through the streets and
alleys of what was then one of the most
attractive portions of New York. and for
no other reason than the ' 1: mass of
hair which concealed his eatures. And
on this occasion the sedate business men
of that part of the cit gathered at their
doors and cheered the ys with their ex-
pressions of approval. ,
One or two judges about that time be—
gan to make their appearance on the
bench with whiskers. ‘This the public
took as an offense, and the papers seri-
ously discussed it as amattcr of prime
importance. “Whiskers,” says The
Democratic Review, “are bad; enough at
the bar, and even then they are pestilent

Do they mean to enforce decisions by the

THE CROPPED SIDE wursxun,
- The war of 1812 brought no generals to
the frbnt with beards, but all the com-
manders of the navy appear to have culti-
vated the “mutton leg," as it was once
called—the side whisker reaching an inch
or so below the ear. but always kept
cropped. This is the whiskers we find on
the pictures of Perry, -_Bainbridge, Deca-
tur, Lawrence and others, and is the
plant which was afterwards built out and,
in connection with the mustache, became
the “Burnside." All the principal officers
of the Mexican war were also boardless,
although the mustache and beard began
about that time creep into the army.

The cabinet which Lincoln assembled
was composed largely of bearded men.
The despised abolition sentiment had ob
tained the ascendancy, and men by the
thousands who ten years before would
rather have been caught burning a house
than raising a beard. threw away their
razors and turned their faces out to nature
for coverings. The officers in the field of
both armies let the beard grow or cut it
in shapes to suit their particular fancy or
appearance. until a smooth faced man be-
came almost as rare as a hairy one had
been a few months previous.

Protection Against "Tame Lightning."
The most peculiar invention is one that
calls tomind the dangers as well. as the
advantages of the use of "tame lightning."
It is aprotection against shocks from what
are called high tension currents, such as
the currents that flow from the telephone
wires in our cities. The linemen, lamp
trimmers and dynamo tenders. who handle
these wires, do so at great risk. and some
have been killed. .. In view of this a Mr.
P. B. Delaney, of this city, has devised a
pair of bracelets and a pair of nnklets con
mated by flexible cords and arranged to
be worn bya lineman In such a way that
if he should close a high potential circuit
through his hands It Is hoped that a con.
slderable part of the current would be
switched off his body away from his vital
parts to expend itself by passing out
through the skin or some part of the body
removed from tho vitals. Electricians
say, however. that there is a question
whether the current will not prefer to con-
tinue in the rum rather than leap out
when it met these bracelets. which would
oficr somewhat higher resistance than the
human body. Of course. the inventor be—

Sick menu In Florida.
Some of the sick ones who went to
’ Florida last winter have returned. and
are commenting upon the avalanche of
cures that were recommended for their
consideration. All the old timers at St.
Augustine had books full of prescriptions
that were warranted to cure anything,
fromahcartaohe to patching a pair of
goloshes "Myi" said one of the returned
patients, "if I had taken a hundredth

Inherited— Diseases.
- ' No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact of the
inheritance of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
so many dark corners of nature,has shed
a new light on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, “The. sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation.”
Fifty per cent. of cases .of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hered-
itary in a marked degree, but, fortu-
- natoly, like many other hereditary
disensesficndtto wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished Scientist truly says: “No organ
or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance of beta the subject of
henditary disease} Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions of
the body, are more or less liable to bein-
herited. l‘bo important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts-—
are obvious to reflecting minds, and the
best means for provontln or curing
these diseases is nsubjecto intense in-
terest to all. Fortunately nature has
covidedn remed‘y, which experience
as attested as in alllble, and the reins-
dy is the world-famous Swift’s Specific,
a pure vegetable compound—nature’s
antidote for all blood poisons. _To the
afflicted it is a blessing of inestimable
value. An interesting treatise on
“Blood .and Skin Diseases? Will be
