OTY OF THE AFFLICTED
INTERESTING SCENES IX ST. VIN
CENTS HOSPITAL.
Hott Great Xunibcrs of Patient Arc
Cared For In the Portland
Institution.
Situated at the foot of high hills In the
northwestern part of the City of Portland
stands a striklng-looklns edifice of brick
with stone trimmings, 275 feet in length,
from CO to Mi in width, and inclusive of
the basement, some elx stories in height.
The building Is St. Vincent's Hospital,
one of the most useful and notable Insti
tutions of Portland, and I may say of Ore
gon. It belongs to and is managed by the
Sisters of Charity of the House of Prov
idence, who have, besides the mother
house in Vancouver, Vash., similar estab
lishments In Astoria, "VValla Walla, Spo
kane, Colfax. Olympla and Seattle, and In
New Westminster and Vancouver, B. C.
The Order of the Sisters of Charity was
founded in Paris nearly three centuries
ago, by St. Vincent de Paul, a secular
priest, and although tho House of Provi
dence is similar to the older society, yet
It is a separate order, founded In Mon
treal, Canada, in 1840, a branch of which
came to the Pacific Northwest in 1S51 and
stationed themselves In Vancouver, Wash.
St. Vincent's Hospital was established
In Portland in 1875, and this present build
ing erected in 1XJZ.
The head of tho order on the Pacific
Coast is the Mother Provincial, who has
control over all the hospitals I have men
tioned, while under her come the Sisters
Superior, each of whom manages the af
fairs of her particular establishment.
Is'ext in order aro the Slaters who have
charge of different parts of the hospital,
and lastly come the lay Sisters. There aro
60 or more Sisters always on hand at St.
Vincent's Hospital. They are French, but,
of course, froii their constant Intercourse
with .English-speaking people, speak the
language fluently, but with just enough
accent to render It Interesting. They are
women of education, very skillful as nurt
es, with an understanding of surgery,
drugs and the practice of medicine. With
their dignltied, sympathetic and relincd
ways they make the hospital seem quite
like home to their patients, who eoon
learn to have great conttdence in and af
fection for them. Although belonging to
this Catholic order, the hospital Itself Is
entirely unsectarian, no matter what the
creed, color or race of the patient may be,
the same treatment is accorded to all.
Tet In seeing In every part of the building
tho pictures of the saints, the Infant Jesus
and the Virgin, and in seeing the nuns, in
their plain black gowns, with their tight
Jlttlng bonnets with the white garniture
around their faces, and crucifixes sus
pended around their necks, one can never
forget that he Is In a Roman Catholic In
stitution. Xurses' Training Scliool.
Besides a few more nurses to help In
the care of the male patients, the assist
ants to the Sisters in their great, humane
work, are the nurses who acquire the
knowledge of their profession in the train
ing school for nurses connected with the
hospital. There are on hand generally
nurses besides professional nurses, who
come In to take care of special cases.
It Is not an altogether easy matter tc
gain admittance to this school, for not
only must the applicant have a certain
amount of education, health and retlne
ment, but she must also have a recom
mendation from some physician of stand
ing, and to show what self-control she
must acquire, no matter how rough or
disagreeable a patient may be, she must
always be klna, lor should she Incur the
ill-will of any cf the physicians on the
hospital staff, he, by refusing to sign her
dlp.oma at the end of her training, can
prevent her becoming a professional
nurse.
It Is a severe ordeal through which the
young girl has passed when, at the end of
the course of two and one-half years, -she
has evolved into a professional nurse and
Is entitled to don the costume which de
notes the full-fledged condition to which
she has attained. The strict vows or
chastity, poverty and obedience required
of the nuns previous to their taking the
veil are scarcely more rigid than aro the
unwritten rules which the nurses have to
observe, and which. If not adhered to,
will cause them to lose their positions.
They may bo compared to the apprentices
of long ago, so small Is their emolument,
almost nominal; their real reward being
In their training as skilled nurses, whlcn
enables them after their graduation to
earn large salaries and take a line stand
Sn the community.. The young woman, as
soon as she is admitted to the training
school, immediately enters upon the active
duties of her calling, but In company
with another girl who has had some ex
perience. However, by consulting with the
Sister unVerwhomshcis serving, it Is not
long before she learns to depend upon her
self. Three months of her time are spent
In the maternity ward, where sho becomes
prollclent In the care of mothers and their
new-born Infants; three aro passed in tho
surgery, where she learns to take perfect
care of the surgical instruments, to pre
pare patients for treatment, to dress
wounds, and to assist the surgeon In
many ways. Part of her time she nurses
the male patients, both in prlvato rooms
and in the wards, some of whom "are hav
ing medical and others surgical treatment.
Then she has the same practice In the
part of tho establishment exclusively de
voted to females, and for three months she
stays in the sanitarium or hospital for In
fectious diseases. This latter class of pa
tients now occupies a commodious house,
but Just completed, immediately north of
tho big brick building, and here 60 pa
tients can be taken care of. So, altogeth
er, there Is room for 250 patients. Last
year over 300 cases were brought to St,
Vincent's for treatment.
Hand in hand with this practical work,
these embryo nurses have to devote a
certain part of each day to the study of
their profession. One of the Sisters called
tho preceptress hears them recite their
lessons, and several times a week they,
and also some of the Sisters,, attend lec
tures In tho lecture hall given by the dif
ferent physicians and surgeons belonging
to the hospital staff. Knowledge of short
hand aids very much in taking down notes
of tho lectures.
Thus In this way they have obtained, by
the time they have served out their ap
prenticeship, a blending of theory and
practice, wWch renders them scarcely In
ferior in theoretical knowledge to tho
young medical students, and far more
competent to attend to the practical part
of the profession.
The day nurse comes on duty at C In
the morning, and with one hour's rest
during the day ceases work at 7 P. M.
Sho has one afternoon each week. Sh
has charge of five or six patients and
th?lr rooms. As most of these patients
are confined to their beds, it is just as
much as a nurse can do to attend to their
various needs and keep their rooms in
the scrupulous order required. Every
thing pertaining to tho cleanliness of the
rooms and Inmates is performed by her,
and in watching her sweep and scrub
one wonders how she manages to do it
all without completely ruining her freslv
looklng apparel, which appears to be al
ways in immaculate order.
Her dress consists of a short gown of
blue and white striped gingham. The
white stripe Is three cords. The nurses
of the Good Samaritan Hospital wear a
similar material, but having four white
cords, with, narrow blue between. Over
this dress is worn a long, full white apron
with the straps of the bib fastened over
the shoulders. Neat linen collars and
cuffs, a white necktie and tiny muslin cap
perched on top of the head complete this
costume, at once dainty and becoming.
Fortunately for tho girls, who have con
stantly to renew their clean clotWng, all
their washing Is done free of charge In the
fine modern laundry belonging to the hos
pital, The training-school curses are not
permitted to wear this dress below Elev
enth street.
During the night, when much less work
Is necessary, one Sister supervises the
four floors occupied by the sick, where In
the day time 12 Sisters have been In con
trol, and two nurses take care of one
floor, which has been attended by some
10 or more day and professional nurses.
The night nurse is usually kept very
busy with 25 or 30 patients, strolling about
from one bed to another in answer to the
electric bells which jingle now here and
now there. But If she ever feels that the
task entrusted to her is beyond her ca
pacity, She can always rely upon to help
her In cases of emergency the night Sis
ter. Tho managers of the hospital believe
in "early to bed, early to rise, makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise," for the
day at St Vincent's begins at 5:30 o'clock
by tho stowards of each floor running a
carpet-sweeper In a vigorous manner over
the carpet on tho halls. This effectually
arouses every one on the sick list. Next
the awakened sleepers hear a Sister re
peating in a clear monotone the morning
prayers as she kneels before a symbol of
the Holy Virgin in tho main corridor.
The high soprano voices of the nun choir,
accompanied by the rich tones of an or
gan, float down from the chapel above,
where early mass Is being celebrated.
The Sisters' devotions are broken In upon
by the young nurses as they come troop
ing from their dormitory In the top of the
building to begin their daily routine of
work, and sometimes thoughtlessly chat
ting as itey go. The patient who has
been somewhat lulled by the music and
tho prayers outside now sees the nurse
come in smiling and business-like, who
draws up the curtains and quickly pre
pares the sick person and the room for
breakfast. This being accomplished, the
nurses disappear for their morning meal,
and then quick, energetic steps are heard
coming and the steward appears, this time
in the role of waiter, bearing a tray
which contains a breakfast for one pa
tient, and as there are 50 or more trays
to bo conveyed from one part of the floor
to all the others, it can be seen that he
has no Insignificant task. The breakfasts
through with, the nurses reappear upon
the scene, always cheerful and devoted,
and place thermometers in the mouths of
the patients, and their temperature taken
It Is written down on the chart hanging
up on the side of the wall, together with
the other symptoms which Indicate the
condition of tho sick person.
Next come the doctors to visit their
numerous charges, who by rapidly glanc
ing at the chart know In a moment their
condition without a word being exchanged
between them and the nurses.
At 12 o'clock dinner is served, and then
in the afternoon visitors come, many of
them bringing dainties and flowers to
their less fortunate friends. The nurses
say they dread the month of June, be
cause of the quantities of flowers, par
ticularly roses, which aro brought to
tho hospital, which, though lovely in
themselves, made no end of litter, which,
of course, must be cleared up.
Among the callers is frequently seen
the venerable chaplain of the hospital.
Father Blanchct, who occupies a suite
of rooms in the building and devotes part
of his time to visiting the sick. From his
gentle courtesy he Is always a welcome
guest and on Sundays In his priestly
gown of royal purple with the heavy gold
chain and cross set with amethysts, a gift
from Pope Leo XIII, around his neck he
presents a picture not easily forgotten.
In the. corrldora one sees happy-looking
convalescents who are being rolled about
in wheeling chairs.
After the supper at 5 o'clock, the pa
tients and their rooms are made ready for
the night, the electric lights In the rooms
are extinguished and the day sisters and
nurses cease their long day's labor and
are replaced by tho night sister and
nurses. About 8 the sisters say tho
evening prayers and by 9 o'clock all vis
itors have left the building, the sisters
and nurses have repared to their dormi
tories and throughout the great insti
tution quiet prevails, broken by the oc
casional ringing of bells followed by the
quick steps of the night nurse with her
lantern hastening to answer the call of
the patient; and by the good night sister
with her lantern, who patrols the big
building from top to bottom.
Yet notwithstanding the vast number
of people here who have been or are
laboring under some grievous affliction
the atmosphere of the place is cheerful
and happy to a degree which one who
has never been beneath tho roof of this
hospital would Imagine to be impossible.
Of course it Is the practice to make
everything appear as pleasant as pos
sible. It Is evidently against the rules
to dwell upon or even to speak about the
Ills of one patient to another.
The Pntlent.
Onco deciding to put himself under the
charge of the authorities the patient no
longer has any say In the matter, but
becomes for the nonce a creature with
out volition. Let us follow, for example,
a surgical case, one who Is to be operated
upon after his arrival at the hospital.
The sisters show him to his room, his
future home during his sickness, where
he Is provided with a light supper, and
later a hot bath, and a surgical nurse pre
pares him for treatment on tho follow
ing day. The night nurse and sister
see that all Is right for the night with
the electric bell within easy reach. Tho
next morning after a cup of coffee, or
some other stimulant, he gets into a
chair and Is wheeled to a small room
adjoining tho big surgery, where he is
received by another surgical nurse and
then one of the three house surgeons
comes In prepared to administer the an
aesthetic Most people in their Ignor
ance feel appalled at the prospect of
losing cQnscieusness but the composure
of everyone In attendance and the knowl
edge that the inevitable In this case
must be submitted to makes tho patient
more resigned. The patient has pre
viously been enveloped in sterilised gar
ments. He Is now, In this state of
oblivion, taken Into tho operating-room.
Here the head and assistant surgeons aro
In waiting. All their clothing has been
sterilized, their hands washed half a
dozen times in disinfected water, so as
to preclude tho possibility of the survival
of any dreaded microbe. Over their
hands are drawn very fine rubber gloves.
In the surgery, a beautiful light apart
ment, everything has been subjected to
the sterilizing process, the handsomely
tiled floor, tho white, bare walls, the
radiator, tho operating tables of gloss,
even to the French porcelain clock tick
ing away on the wall. The fine steel In
struments to be used have been boiled.
Here the surgeons are in their element
for they frankly confess It Is a positive
pleasure to them to operate upon a pa
tient and remove the cause of his mal
ady. Thanks to anaesthetics, to the discovery
by the famous Frenchman, Pasteur, of
germs, microbes, causing the danger In
operating, and the discovers' by the great
English surgeon. Lister, of the antiseptic
treatment in surgery, the great danger
and unbearable pain to which patients
subjected to the knife were formerly 11a
blo axe removed. Now the person operated
upon usually gets well, but even as late
as 25 years ago blood poisoning would
probably ensue In most cases. It Is no
wonder that the successful surgeon comes
to be regarded by his patient as his
guardian angel.
There are 18 physicians and surgeons
on the hospital staff, but outside physi
cians also have patients here. The opera
tion concluded, the patient Is removed
to his room, where he awakens, naturally,
in an enfeebled condition, with a feeling
of nausea, the effects of the anaesthetic,
but usually he feels but little pain. From
his entrance to the building to the pres
ent time he has been in the hands of ten
different persons, each proficient In his
or her particular line. From this time
on every care Is given the sick one which
can aid in hastening his recovery.
The Interior of the Hospital.
The general arrangement Is the same
throughout the first five stories, for a
broad corridor running north and south
and opening at either end on roomy pi
azzas Intersects the building, which Is
fireproof and modern in every respect
In the basement Is the great kitchen,
the steam heating apparatus, etc On
the first floor is the reception-room,
office, drug store, attended by one of the
sisters, who is the druggist for the es
tablishment and private rooms and wards
for men patients who are receiving medi
cal treatment as pneumonia cases in
one, fever cases In another and convales
cents In a third ward.
The second floor 13 devoted to men who
require surgical treatment, and here also
is the sterilizing room and the great
surgery, where sometimes as many as 14
operations are performed in one day.
This Is a wonderfully interesting place to
visit, but it is hard of access to visitors
because it is in such constant use. There
aro both men and women patients on the
third floor, while the fourth floor Is for
the exclusive use of females. On these
four floors there are also small surgeries,
dressing and toilet rooms, refrectorfes
and small kitchens.
In tho sixth story, besides the dormito
ries, there is a very attractive chapel,
where services are held on every day of
the week.
A number of the rooms for patients
have been handsomely furnished by per
sons grateful for the care they or their
friends have received while here, and also
by some of the physicians. Thus there
Is the Flelschner room, the Benevolent
People's Order of Diks room and others.
The largest ward contains 17 beds and
was furnished for her husband by Mrs.
Judge Anderson. It was most unexpect
edly that I was Introduced to St Vin
cent's and detained there long enough to
become Initiated in a life hitherto entire
ly unknown to me, and It proved such
an interesting experience that I felt Im
pelled to write down some of my obser
vations, thinking that what interested one
person so deeply might prove of Intprcst
to others. OLYMPIA.
MYRTLE FOR THE BRIDES.
One of Consnelo's Dntles as Mistress
of the Robes.
Chicago Chronicle.
To Consuelo. wife of Charles Richard
John SpenceV tharchlil, ninth Duke of
Marlborough, ,Wrf belong the honor of
bringing mjurtlyVo deck the brow of the
brides of the royal, house of England.
To carry it to Windsor is one of the
duties of the mistress of the robes. The
myrtle is a royal p'.ant growing on the
Isle of Wight in the grounds of Osborne
House. It was planted there by Queen
Victoria during the early days ot her
married life. The Prince consort held the
spado and pushed It Into the ground,
while the Queen imbedded It In the soil.
As it grew and flourished and sent forth
green leaves, again and agniu, spreading
into a great vine, she and the Prince
consort grew to love It and often they
visited It
One day the Queen wrote: "The Prince
and I were so glad to escape again to the
quiet of Osborne. Scarcely had we ar
rived when Bertie and little Vicky came
running to tell me that the myrtle had
grown at least six Inches and had spread
far. over the ground.
"Soon after tea Albert and I visited It,
taking our customary walk, and to our
delight found it growing greener than
ever, and, if possible, becoming prettier
every day."
When the Queen's oldest girl grew to
womanhood and the date of her marriage
was set with the German Crown Prince
the young Princess and her mother paid
a last visit to Osborne together. The girl
was then only 17, her mother but 20 years
older.
With sadnpRR tho two walked together
through the lanes for a last time, and,
stopping before the myrtle, stooped to
admire It The members of the Queen's
household, the ladies in waiting, declared
that the Queen bent low to examine the
myrtle In order that she might hide her
falling tears and that the girl Victoria,
laughing at her mother's fondness for the
vine, asked that she might have a piece
of It in her bridal bouquet. Two days
before tho wedding Lady Augusta Stan
ley journeyed to the Isle of Wight and
there gathered a basket of the pretty
myrtle, returning with It In time for the
making of the bouquet
Before she started upon her Journey the
Queen gave her tho most minute direc
tions about the gathering of the sprays,
and ordered tho head gardener to in
struct her upon keeping them fresh. It
Is said that he told her to bury the ends
in sand, and that tho load was so heavy
that it took several servants to bring It
back to the palace and lay It before the
Queen.
Her Majesty, when she saw Lady Au
gusta, came running out to meet her,
"quite forgetful of her dignity," to ask
her If she had found the myrtle and to
see if she had gathered a sufficient quan
tity of It
From that day to this no bride has left
the English household without a sprig of
the plant The carrying of it is said to
bring good luck to the bride and all of the
Queen's daughters ordered long sprays of
it to be mixed with the bride roses. The
carrying of this myrtle was the original
of the "shower bouquet," now so popular
here, but brought from England In the
present generation.
Not only have the Queen's daughters
but her granddaughters and her daughters-in-law
carried tho myrtle. The Prince
of Wales, upon his marriage to tho
Princess of Denmark, sent her handsome
sprays of the English good fortune plant,
brought again from the Isle of Wight, and
one by one as Lome. Hesse, Christian of
Schleswlg-Holstaln and Battenberg took
the royal daughters tho myrtle made Its
Journeys to England!
The most difficult feat was the sending
of the green to AHx of Hesse when she
becamo Czarina of Russia The Princess
Alice of England had tended the myrtle
in her childhood, and when she married
Into tho house of Hesse she asked that sho
might tako with her a great trailing bou
quet of the royal vine. Her request was
granted and such a drain was made upon
tho original plant that scarcely had it
recovered in time to supply leaves for the
next royal wedding.
When Alice, the eldest daughter of the
Princess Alice, was to be married to the
coming Czar of Russia, all was forgotten
in the sadness which afflicted the royal
family of Russia, for the Czar lay dying.
But in the midst of the sorrow Queen
Victoria remembered that It was, after
all, a wedding and not a funeral, to which
her dear granddaughter was looking for
ward, and so, by special envoy, there
arrived on the day of tho wedding, No
vember 56, 1S4, a special envoy bearing a
basket of myrtle.
In the bottom of the basket thero was
earth, real English earth, and planted deep
in It, all warm and moist, were myrtle
roots. Allx, now of Russia, wore the
myrtle on her wedding day, and then or
dered that It be planted In the royal con
servatory and carefully preserved for
future use.
When the little Grand Duchess Olga
comes to the throne, as she may some
day, and then goes a-weddlng, she will
(ET GREATEST STRENGTH ffl
H FINEST FLAVOR AND Wt
H ABSOLUTE. PURITY fif
find that she has some of the myrtle worn
by her mother and by her grandmother
and planted by her great-grandmother, for
her own wedding day myrtle 100 years old
made possible by the sweet forethought of
a queenly ancestress off in England.
