THE TIGER MAN.
When at Bombay in 1860, making prepara-,
tions to go up the country and fill an order
for six tigers for Amsterdam, a very singular
personage crossed my path. I had been in
India for two years as the agent of the grpat
German animal house and had sub-agents in
a dozen districts. We were constantly for-
warding serpents, jackalls, liycnas, wolves,
buffaloes, tigers, and such curiosities as fall
into our traps, and now and then received
an extra order. The order for “six
wild, full grown tigers, males preferred,”
came from Egypt. Messages were sent
to sub-agents, and I got ready for a trip to
the northeast, among the tiger jungles. One
afternoon a stranger was announced under
the name of Gwal. He was a tall, stiff
appearing figure, moving with all tlle dig-
nity of a prince, but his face was so horribly
disfigured that Iicouldn’t repress a start of
surprise. He had been born with a single
eye, and that almost in the center of his
face. His nose was like that of a dog, and
his mouth was wide, almost without lips, alld‘
full of fangs. He was more of a freak than
J o-J o, the dog-faced, and would have been a
great card in a museum. He expected to see
me start with surprise, and he expected me'
to look at him with surprise. He gave me.
plenty of time, and then, bowing very low,1
he said: 1
“I am told the sahib is a hunter of beasts.”
“Yes.”
“You capture them alive?”
”Yes.”
“I should like to go with you. I am,I
called the Tiger Man. I am not afraid of ‘
any wild beast. N 0 animal dares attack_me.”y
He informed me that he had come from a.
village called J ohpur, on the Gadavery river, I
200 miles away, and that scores of people'
would vouch for the truth of his statements. I
Twice within the year I had heard of this
man and his wonderful doings, but had put'.
no faith in the stories. That he possessedl
wonderful magnetism over the animal crew,
tion he soon gave me proofs. The next bunga-
low ou the right was occupied by Capt.
Richard Taylor, of the Fifty—first Native in-_
fantry. He had a savage dog chained up in“
the rear of the house. The brute was dan—,
gerous, and had not been free from his chain'
for two months. The servants had to throw
him his food, and even the captain dared not
go within reach. ;
“If you are a tiger man you are not afraid’
of a savage dog?” I queried as he finished a'
statement of his wonderful powers. ‘
“Lead me to the beast,” he curtly replied. ‘

lil‘s'iéaié ‘6? uswh'suif‘ simply." going" out 'io
search fora bee tree. When he had disap-
peared the head man advised that the villagers
go indoors and keep quiet, and our band was
divided in half and placed ill trees where we
could plainly see the cage. Stray rulilors of
Gwal’s wonderful magnetic powers had
reached the ears of the three British officers,
‘ and they had seen the performance with the
hymn). with eyes wide open, but they were
skeptical as to his powers over a tiger. All
of us were, for that matter. The idea of a
man, no matter what gifts he had, bringing
a fierce man cater to crawl Oil his belly, was
too absurd for belief. But Gwal settled it to
our satisfaction as well as chagrin. In
two hours and twenty minutes after
his departure he reappeared, and right
at his heels, and acting the same
as the hycna had acted, was the
largest tiger I ever saw. It was plain that
the beast was terrorized. A whipped puppy
could not have shown more servility. Gwal
came along at a. moderate gait, swinging a.
hand on either side of him, and apparently
paying no heed to the t'ger, but all those in
our tree were sure we heard him mumbling
:under his breath. The tiger never looked up,
nor to the right nor left, but kept its head
down. As they halted at the cage Gwal
threw up his hand, as one does when he
wants a dog to jump, and the man cater
bounded into the cage and cowered ill a
coriler. The native secured the door in a
leism'ely manner and then approached us.
,We were now on the ground, and as he came
up we noticed that he was in a tremble and
very weak.
“The other one was not at home, but I
shall have him tomorrow,” he said. “I will
now lie down for a little time. "
Could we believe our own eyes? Were we
dreaming? There was the living proof of
Gwal’s wonderful powers, and what could
we say? We moved down to the cage to get
,a closer view of the beast, and the sight of
us and our presence broke the strange spell.
For the next half hour the tiger was wild
with fury, and a. dozen different times it
seemed to us that he would regain his liberty.
Every bar held, however, and he finally
tired himself out and became more quiet.
Gwal slept until 3 o’clock in the afternoon,
when he came forth refreshed and full of
talk. The tiger was then raving about his
'cage, but the instant the man appeared he
cowered and was as quiet as a. lamb. The
next afternoon his mate was brought iii as he
had been, and wilhin a week we had four
tigers. We then moved to a. spot about
eighteen miles away, and Gwal brought in
two others, both males. His performance
was the sanle in each case, and in each case
his demeanor and that of the beast was the
same. It was magnetism developed to a
wonderful degree. That single eye of his
was a blaze of fire when he started out. lVe
could all feel his electricity. Protected as he
was, the man had no fear of any living thing,
aild twice 1 saw him pick up poisonous ser-
pents and carry them along for half a mile.
When the six tigers were stowed on the
barge I paid Gwal his 8100, and added $50 to
it. He was not to go with us, but ill case I
wanted more tigersI was to come to him.
.lVe went down the river safely, and twice in
after years I heard from this strange illan.
'He once shipped me four tigers on specula-
Tho captain was at home, and I went over Ition, and made a neat sum by it, and then
and told him of the native’s presence. Then‘
we called the man over, and after the cap-,
tain had satisfied his curiosity he said to'
him:
“You may be a brave mail, but do not ex-
pose yourself. My dog will kill you if you
go near him. I shall have him shot this
week.”
“Your dog will cowcr and whine,” soberly
answered Gwal.
“Well, the risks be on your own head.”
We passed around the bungalow and
through a gate, and the dog, who was about
fifty feet away, at once spranrr up and tug-‘
ged savagely at his chain. There could be”
no doubt of his savage fury. His eyes blazed,
he frothed at the mouth, aild his efforts to
break the stout chain filled me with alarm.
The native waited a minute before showing
himself. As soon as he stepped in front of ,
us there was a change in the dog’s demeanor. '
Indeed, he seemed to dodge, as if amissile
had passed close to his car. The native slowly
approached, and before he was within ten
feet of him the dog was down on his belly .
and uttering whines for mercy. Gwal un-
fastencd the collar on his neck, spoke three I
or four words in a low voice, and then walked 1
about, alld the dog followed at his heel. Such l
a change from savage fury to utter servilityj j
was astounding. It was plain that the dog‘
was cowed and afraid, and that Gwal had“ :
wonderful powers. Ho approached us and
as he came close up the dog never raised his
eyes to give us a look. He kept his eyes on
the ground, and we could see that he was in
a tremble of fear.
“Is the sahib satisfied?” quietly asked
Gwal at the end of ten minutes.
“Yes.”
He readjusted the collar, and the dog slunk
into his box, so cowed and overcome that a
child might have used a whip on him. \Vhile
this adventure with the dog did not prove
that Gwal would have equal success with
wild beasts, I saw that he was a valuable man
for our party, and at once engaged him. He
stated that the district from which he came
was infested with many large serpents and
wild beasts, and his suggestions as'to our pro-
ceedings were very businesslike and valuable.
Besides the six of us regularly engaged in the
traffic, Maj. Lawrence, of the Eighth Light
cavah‘y; Col. Shaw, of the Nineteenth regi—
ment, and Capt. Smith, commanding a bat-
tery attached to the Eleventh native regi-
ment, were allowed to accompany us, they
having permits of absence and desiring to go
on a hunt. We occupied twelve days on the
journey, which wefc without startling inci-
dent, and one afternoon arrived iii good
shape at the village of J ohpur. Without a
hint tome, and in some manner yet unknown,
the Tiger Man had sent word on ahead, and
the first thing we saw on entering the village
were six stout cages. which the natives had
constructed to hold the six tigers we had
come for. It was a case of providing the
cage before the bird was caught, and it set-
tled my belief that Gwal was what he claimed
to be.
We rccciveda warm welcome at the vil-
lage, and after a little the head man told me
further about the Tiger Man. He had been
found in the forest when only a couple of
weeks old, and had ever since been regarded
as only half human. He possessed a strange
power over wild or domestic animals, and
had several times compelled man eating
tigers to follow him into and about the vil-
lage like a dog. When I asked why he had
not used this power to clear the district of its
many dangerous pests, he explained that
Gwal, when thus magnetizing a beast, was
deprived of his physical strength to such an
extent thafi he could do them no injury. That
evening just at sundown we had a fair ex-
ample of his wonderful powers. One of the
largest and fiercest hyenas I had ever seen
suddenly appeared on the edge of the thicket,
about 300 feet away, and stood and
gazed at us, and bristled up with anger.
Gwal was called for, and he started for
the beast at an ordinary gait. At first the
beast acted as if it meant to attack him.
Then it showed signs of running away.
Then, as he drew nearer, it crawled upon its
belly and began to whine, and we saw that it
was terrified. The man uttered some words
we did not catch and started to return. and
lo! the hyena crept at his heels, tail drag-
ging on the ground, and its whole demeanor
that of abject fear. Gwal walked past us
aiid around us, between the huts and around
them, and the beast gave us no attention
whatever. It pantcd, as after a hard run,
and one could see that it was actuallysuffcr—
ing. When Gwal had satisfied us, be led the
llyena to the outskirts of the village, pointed
to the thicket, and exclaimed, “Go!” and
the beast slunk off as if in fear of it: life.
“lVoudei-full wonderful!” gasped each one
of 11s in turn.
It was more like a miracle. Gwal stood
near us, Iealllllg‘:llp against a trcc as if greatly
worli out, and when we went over to him we
found him covered with perspiration. The
old woman, with whom he made his home,
led him away after a little, and we saw no
more of him until next morning. Before we
turned in for the night the head man told us
that lit lcast four mail eating tigers had their
haunts within a radius of ten miles, and that
we should depend upon Gwal and hit him
liiauagc illc campaign against them as he
thought best. There was no need of fire-
arms, and Gwal would sooner or later find
an occupant for each cage. He talked of
caging up full grown tigers as carelessly as
another man would of trapping house rats,
Emilie knew the Tiger Mail better than we
1 .
At sunrise next morning Gu-ill was all
right. 1 had agreed to pay him $15 per
month and his keep when he set out with us.
This was amagnificent sum in the eyes of a
native, but I now told him that if be pre—
ferred I would give him $100 for six tigers.
He jumped at tile offer, and his very first
move was to run to the balik of the river and
bargain with the owner of a rude but sca-
worthy barge to float the six cages down to
the water on the eastern part of the peninsula
for us. The distance by river was all of 100
miles, and there would be eight of us in the
party. The owner of the craft agreed to
take us and the tigers, teed us well, and em-
ploy two extra helpers forasum equal to
about thirteen American dollars. W hen i
told him I would make it $50 he caluc near

had yet seen so much as the tip end of a

Scenes In 11 Packing House at Hammond,
[[10].vath Becomes of the Parts of a
Steer Not Used as Becf— Utilizing Odds
and End».
The steer is hanging by a leg to a strong
iron chain, and the hide strippers are busy. it
, is the rule in all packing houses for special men
J to skin special parts of the hldes, and this is
one reason why packer hides are so strictly
alike in trim and take off, and why the
tauners are usually willing to pay a cent per
pound more for these hides than for those
taken off in the country to“ as. The hide,
then, is thrown into the hide cellar, a cool,
pleasant place in the Hammond house, 250
feet wide by about 800 feet long, with another
one in progress of building. The first thing
the cellar men do is to sort the branded and
unbranded green hides into separate piles,
and it is remarkable how expertly and rap
idly this is done by the old hands. Next
comes the sailing and packing away in piles.
Coarse Syracuse salt is used in preference to
all other kinds. it takes about three weeks
in summer and four weeks in winter to thor-
oughly cure hides, although when tanners
are in a hurry a little less time is given by
mutual agreement and by using necessary
precautions.
UTILIZING THE BLOOD.
The first run of the blood from the cut
throat of the animal is collected in round,
shallow pans, which are trucked to cool
shelves, where coagulation soon follows, and
then the albumen is dried and sold to button
manufacturers, to be speedily made up for
the use of the unsuspecting public, who are
thus blood stained, as it were, in a highly
artistic fashion Coagulatcd cattle blood is
also used by calico printers for dying turkey
red, and in the preparation of red liquor for
printers’ work. Dried blood serves to clarify
wines, syrups and other thick solutions. in
Scandinavia it is made into a. kind of good
bread for the poor. Doctors have recom-
mended the drinking of warm, fresh cattle
blood in cases of pulmonary diseases.
From the heads are carefully taken small
pieces of meat. which go to the sausage fae
tory. The horns find ready sale to comb and
knife bait makers, being softened by heat
and molded into numerous articles. The
guts, after scrupulous cleansing, are packed
in tierees and shipped to dealers in sausage
casings. Tripe is a nutritious and cheap
food, and it is produced from the animals'
stomachs, which are cleaned, boiled, scraped
and placed in kegs for consumption. Tripe
is sometimes pickled, according to the de
lnand from buyers. The legs are steamed
for what glue they contain, and also to soften
the hoof, from which is extracted the cele
hrated neat‘s foot oil, which is valuable for
keeping shoes soft and waterproof. These
hoofs arc finally ground up and sold to fer-
tilizers. The shin bones, after being boiled,
are in request for knife handles, being shipped
to Europe. The Sheilleld manufacturers in
England convert these shin bones into handles
for spoons and knives, hacks for tooth and
nail brushes. The jaw bones are sawed in
two, in order to extract every possible vestige
of glue from them. To go to the other end
of the animal, even the extreme portion of
the tail is cut off and sold to the manufact
urers of curled hair.
SAVING THE ODDS AND ENDS.
The bladders, when dried and prepared.
form useful coverings for the transportation
of glaziers' putty, for oilmen, druggists, etc,
and are valuable for placing over the jars
ill which the careful housewife lays away
her preserves and pickles. The kidneys,
livers and lights are sold fresh to surround
ing butchers’ stores, or sent in refrigerator
cars to distant points. The tongues are cun-
ningly curled, put into air tight cans, and
find their way to manya village at home
and abroad, where they are useful for pic-
nics and cold collations.
Hot tanks are great levelers, and every
scrap of sinews, loose bones or small rough
pieces is boiled down to threads and frag-
ments, and the liquor, when drawn oil and
cooler], produces glue or other available
material. Even the dirt and residue at the
bottom of the tank is sold as “tankage” for
fertilizing, and refuse blood is eagerly col
lected and turned to account ill refineries.
Now we come to the utilization of the
fat. Olcomargariue is made as follows:
The caul and best parts of the fat of the
cattle are boiled down to a thin, transparent
oil. Fresh milk is brought every morning
to the packing house for mixing with this
beef oiL The milk and oil are poured into the
churn together, and a little pure prime lard
is added to cause the mixture to flow more
casil y from the churn, which is driven rapidly
by machinery till the yellow globules separ-
ate. This scilii liquid mass drains into a
large ice cooler for a short time. Then these
globules are taken and kneaded together care
fully, drained and the mass is salted by
special macllincry with good, clean, English
dairy salt The olcomargarine is colored by
common annatto seeds, u used in all dairies,
and thus prepared is put into clean white
linen cloths by neat looking girls, and. as
ready for sale, is difficult to distinguish from
real butter in taste or color.
Tallow is made by boiling the rough pieces
of fat. ,‘I‘he ox tail meat and bones cousti
tute the chief luxuries obtained from cattle.
Each car of beef carries a certain number of
tails, which are mostly bought by the hotel
keepers. Even the udder from a young. dry
cow, when nicely corned and boiled, is very
good eating. The ox gall is used for lilii
lnents, for the mixing of paints, cleaning
clothes, carpets, etc.-Shoe and Leather Re

.Ir. 0. WI Ilolmes' Favorite Room.
Dr. ll-_-lmes’\favorite room in his Boston
home is one in the basement, where, opposite
a row of well filled book shelves, is fitted up
a small carpenter shop, with a foot lathe
standing near the window. It is possibly the
surgical side of him that enjoys the clean cut
ting of this delicate instrument as it courses
its way through the wood. The poetic side
enjoys the picturesqueness of the carpenter’s
noise. Let one of the cages be placed uudcl bench, with its gleaming tools. and there al-

it shall be occupied by a fine tiger. The last
time I saw him he had a sore car. It should

a man talking that way, but I had the cage

THE DREADED APACHE.
REASONS WHY THE MEXICAN FEARS
THE WILY SAVAGE
Sllrewdness mid Cruelty of the Arizona
Indian—Jule Story Told by a major of
Cavalry—Prisoners Released by Panic
Stricken Guards.
It was at the close of a recent Indian dis
turbanco that we rst made a visit to the
scene of war between the government’s troops
and the lunch dreaded Apache. Our first
view of these savages was, therefore, of
double importance. Since the construction
of the railway through this interesting terri-
tory they are to be seen iii numbers by the
casual passenger on the trains. Though
years have elapsed since the road’s construc-
tion, its working is still a. novelty to thcul.
Their curiosity seems still unsatcd, and with
their friends who may be visiting them from
remote quarters they view the draw bridge
at Yuma, cxplaili how it swings, how the
trains are switched froin one track to another,
etc. During our stay here we had abundant
opportunity for observation and reflection
upon the operation and traits of character of
the several tribes that infest these regions,
and we finally came to realize that our rude
impression, founded upon the works of Felli-
more Cooper and others, must be consider.
ably modified.
OUR INDIAN POLICY.
The deplorable inadequacy of our so called
“Indian policy” in dealing with these sav-
ages can be better comprehended from the
fact that millions of dollars have been ex—
pended by the government since the acquisi-
tion of California iii its efforts to reduce the
Apaches and Navajocs who occupied the im-
mense highway for overland migration from
the east to the west, alid today possibly we
are as far from success as we were some forty
years ago.
The lnore ignorant classes of Mexicali set-
tlers we found were pervaded with a most
abject dread and horror of the Apache. In
carlierycars, and ill some instances at the
present time, children from their earliest ili-
fancy aro brought ilp to regard the Apache
as some terrible ogre, against whom, even
with odds ill their favor, it would be folly to
combat.
A well known major of a. certain Califor-
nia volunteer cavalry, operating in Arizona
some years ago, relates an instance ill point
which goes to show the terror with which
these people are stricken upon the knowledge
of a near approach of the dreaded Apache.
The major was dispatched with two others
to discover a. frontier town and ascertain
whether it could be reached with wagons.
After a ride of some length they reached the
town, but could perceive no inhabitants
about the houses on the plain. Raising their
eyes to the hill, however, they behold the
entire population of some 600 souls huddled
together iii evident alarm. They had taken
them for Apaches and fled in dismay to the
protection of tlic pi-csidio, which was held by
400 soldiers.
Another aiid still nlorc striking incident
may be called here to show how completely
the Apaches have control over the Mexicans
on the frontier. At one time five Apache
prisoners—two warriors and three women—
were brought illto town under a strong guard
of soldiers, and lodged in jail to await their
ultimate destination. Night came on ex-
ccediiigly dark and stormy, and the rain de-
scendcd in torrents. Peal after pcal of
thunder shook-the adobean walls of the an-
cient village, and vivid flashes of lightning
struck terror to the hearts of its inhabitants.
The Mexican guards over the prison left their
posts of duty and retired within, where they
could smoke their cigarritos alid escape the
fury of the tempest. The doors were firmly
secured, and preparations made to pass the
watch as comfortably as circumstances would
permit.
PANIC STRICKEN GUARDS.
“About midnight,” said the narrator, “cer-
tain peculiar noises were heard about the
prison, and were repeated with an emphasis
that compelled attention. Instinctivclytho
guard knew that these noises proceeded from
Apaches who were in quest of their incar-
cerated friends, aiid the fact was quickly
made apparent by the prisoners, who com-
menced a chant in their native tongue loud
enough to be heard outside. Here was a.
dilemma. The Indians were undoubtedly
watching the door with intense interest, and
none dared go forth iii that impenetrable
gloom to face the savage foe. The force of the
enemy was unknown. The citizens could not
bcrclied upon for aid; no one would come
to their assistance if attacked. They only
numbered eight men and a sergeant and
were panic si'gickeil. Perceiving this state
of affairs, the Apache prisoners boldly ad-
vanced and demanded to be let out, at the
same time giving fearful yells to apprise
friends of their designs, which were seconded
by repeated strokes with heavy stones upon
the door. In its overpowering terror the
guard mustered its whole strength, opened
the door slightly, and permitted its savage
charge to go scot free. Of course they were
never seen more.
Nor is tllo Mexicaii’s dread of the Indian
in any measure without cause. The 011-
slaught upon their people is simply appalling.
The Apache is brought up to regard the
Mexican as his natural enemy, and to rob
and kill such enemy is an honorable achieve-
ment. His feelings are early embittered
against all the civilized race. He is taught
that the chief excellence of man is to outwit
his fellows; that the highest honors are due
the greatest rascal.
Again, the Apache of today is not the
Apache of three-quarters of a century ago.
That he has learned nothing from experience
—is a biped brute, without judgment, skill,
strategy or reflection—is where many err in
their conception of Apache character. Oil
the contrary, he possesses all of these in an
eminent degree. He has also adopted our im-
proved weapons, besides retaining that silent,
death dealing cilginc of his ancestor, the bow
and arrow. Though seldom given credit for
it, they know what is right and proper as
well as their pale face brother. In all their
“talks” with our military officers they urge
justice aiid propriety, aild profess to be
guided by those virtues. Nevertheless, to
rob and not be robbed, to kill and not be
killed, to take captive and not be captured,
form the sum and substance of their educa-
tion and life ambition. The Apache who
can perform these acts with the greatest suc-
cess is the greatest man in the tribe. In fine,
to be a. prominent Apache is to be a‘ promi‘
nent scoundrcl.—Yuma (for. San Francisco
Chronicle.

TI I I!) HOSPITAL GIRL.
AN INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO HER
RESPONSIBLE DUTIES.
Alone All Night In a Gloomy \Vard with
:1 Score or ntorc of Sick and Dying
Patients—Tho Clang of tlic Ambulance
Gong.
At thc end of three months the novice is
put on night duty in either the medical or
Surgical ward, and then it is that all the
heroism and courage of her nature is called
into action. Olie nurse is put in charge of
two wards, each containing, when full,
twenty patients. The lights are turned down
until a dusky silence hovers over the white
cots. Iii the surgical ward the doctor leaves
his orders, oftcli supplemented by the infor-
mation tliatapatient iii ono ward has just
passed through asevere operation, there is
danger of hemorrhage, aild the nurse must
not leave her alone. Perhaps in the other N
Ward :1 patient is very low. The doctor says
she must be watched constantly, for she is
liable to die at any moment. Then he goes
away, and the young girl flits about iii the
gloom from cot to cut, administering medi-
cilics llllll treatment, hurrying from the side
of one suil'crcr to the other, half fearful to
gaze into the quiet face lest it be already
still in death; afraid the dangerously ill pa-
tient iii one ward will die while she goes to
ace the dying sulfcrcr ill the other.
Suddenly the dread clung that all nurses
four with a nameless horror strikes upon her
enrtlirougli the dreadful stillness. It draws
nearer and ncarcr, and stops; at the doorway.
Every liursc knows the pol'tcnt of thc ambu-
lance bcll. Every lllll'ru fears the arrival of
some new patient if there is all empty cot in
her Will‘fI. ? lieu comes the sound of slow,
:lueasurcd footsteps drawing llcarcr alid
nearcr, and she flies to make ready the empty
cot, only hoping no one will die while she is
engaged with the new comer. The men
come in with the stretcher and deposit its
burden on the bed. The nurse washes the
blood from the wounds, if there be any;
determine: the extent of the injury as
much as possible, and, if very serious,
calls the doctor. if only a cut needing a few
stitches and careful bandaging, the nurseper-
forms the operation herself; bathcs her pa-
ticlit and makes her collifortable, and then
hurries buck, perhaps to witness for the first
time the last struggle of a dying person.
\Vlieii the last shuddering sigh falls from
the stiffening lips, the brave girl alone in the
gloomy ward closes the eyes, folds the life-
less hands, and taking down the card hear-
ing the name of the dead from over the bed,
hurries down through the long dim corridors
to tell the orderly to prepare for the burial.
If the patient be heavy, the nurse calls the
helper, a uloman from prison, one of which
is kept to do the cleaning in each ward, and
together they “do up the corpse,” as it is
called iii the hospital. If, Oil the other hand,
ithe dead woman is slender, the nurse bathefi
land shrouds her alone, all of which must be
:accomplishcd within an hour after her death.
‘Then the men enter with the box and she is
borne out, the nurse throws the bedding out
on the fire escape and returns to her duties.
Many a girl has met her first experience of
this kind alone in the dim wards of the hos-
pital late at night, for deaths are likely to
occur between the hours of 12 mid 5 a. m.,
when vitality is at a low ebb.
A person who has watched at night by the
» bedside of one who is very ill can have a
' faint notion of the responsibility of a person
I in charge of forty patients in various degrees
of danger. A young woman who had known
.nothing of sickness and little of work re-
lates one night’s experience when an elderly
woman was apparently dying in great dis-
tress and required constant attention. In
the cot adjoining lay another patient, who,
though not in imminent danger, was suffer-
iing terribly, and who had, as the nurse ex-
pressed it, “more things the matter with her
:than any one ever had before or since.” The
inurse had pulled the screens 11p around the
.dying woman’s bed and was administering
:such alleviating remedies as lay ili licrpower,
when she suddenly heard a great disturbance
in the adjoining ward, and hastening there.
found an immense fat woman, crazy with
fever, promenading up and down the ward,
making havoc with everything movable.
Coaxiilg, commanding and assisting her, she
was finally settled ill bed again, but as the
nurse. bent over her dying patient the same
commotion was heard in thc other ward
again, and she wont back, alid after coaxing
the woman into her cot, she tied her feet to
the iron bars at the foot of the bed. Once
more she hurried to the other ward only to
find one patient writhing in pain, the other
with clenched hands tossing in the death
struggle. As the quivering features calmed
to peacefulness and the groans were hushed
.to silence, she heard the noise of groans and
screams in the other wm:d, and found the
' afat woman on the floor, with her feet still
:tied to the bed. By the help.o_f all the force
-- in the ward she was lifted to her place,
strapped down to the bed, and iii the gray
light of the dawn the (lead woman was pref
pared for her burial, while the living nloancd
in pain.
In another cot a perfect specimen .of we-
manhood lay dying. The doctors, with mis-
directed zcal, had prolonged her agony by
the operation of tracheotomy, and she tiny
struggling with death in! all the freshness and
strength of her early womanhood. There
had been another fire horror, and to save her
children she had dashed backed into the
burning building, inhaling heat and smoke
that had injured her internally past all re-
covery. The round curving limbs were like
sculptured marble, majestic in their white
beauty; the sweet, fair face was unscorched
.by the flames and unfaded by disease; the
white statuesque arms were tossed above her
head in agony. Just as she gave her last
spasmodic shiver the little babe she had saved
'so heroically moaned out, “Ma-lila-ma—ma,”
.the first time it had spoken since it was
brought there, and with a smile the mother
reached out her hands toward the voice, and
lwas dead. The nurses wept softly as they
{bathed the beautiful form, though they are
'so accustomed to death it has little terror or
sorrow for them.
One nurse who has been practicing licr pro-
fession for some time says she doesn’t believe
even how that she could go back to the hos-
'pital and live through those night watches
- again, though she loves her work and feels
all its responsibility aild sacredness Many
of the nurses, however, love their hospital
,work with a strange fascination, and either
accept situations in other hospitals when they
graduate or obtain some salaried place ill their
own. The orderly, systematic routine, the
precise automatic regularity of the hospital
service, the constant attendance of the phy-
fsicians, the convenience of arrangements,
land the society of the nurses, together with
Ian infatuation for the excitement of new
'cases, and the universal love and gratitude
'of the patients. ciulcars hospital life to them.
