Mrs. Rose is one of Brooklyn's fairest Indies, and she presides with infinite grace over a beau tiful homo in St. John's place, ou the confines of Prospect park. "I am glad to talk about the trained nurse, for the work is my hobby," she i laid to me one pleasant morning lately "A editor and proprietor of the maga- f zine published in the interests of the trained nurse I foel that I am as much ! in the field as though I were indeed a hospital worker myself. How came I to "be interested? 1 began my hospital work 1 it a very early ago. My grandmother, j who was a prominent member of the Society of Friends of Philadelphia, de- it voted most of her time to caring for the sick, and she took me with her in ; ber visiting rounds a linnet as soon as I could walk. So I grew np familiarizing , myself with the scenes thnt she loved. 1 "How does the public regard the ; trained nurse?" I "If by 'the pnblio' yon mean those in position to engage the services of traiued nurse in the homo, I may say that I am sometimes amazed at the Ignorance of well to do women regard ing the proper status of the trained nurse. Not long ago a nurse told mo of being invited down to dinner at the tame time the doctor was, wheu my lady hort seated the physician at the family table and relegated the nurse to the servants' quarters, introducing her o the servants by her first name The pose she was called to attend was a very critical one, and the nurse was too ab sorbed to correct the mistake, but she did so later in the gentlest maimer pos sible, and one that denoted ber good tense, for really, yon know, these wom en have practical things drilled into them, and common sense of the com monest kind has to stand them in good ttead scores of times. Their position is to new as yet that their relation to the ramiiy is not defined as is the physi cian's, and every new cose has to regu late itself for them. I "The latest news in the nurses' world Is that a convention of superintendents of hospital training schools was held hut month in Boston. This is the second con vention ever held, and it is hoped that the organization will be productive of seeded results to the profession, the principle oue being the establishing of a an i form course of training to be recog nized in all hospitals and the proper protection of graduate nurses. $ "The best hospitals, for example, ex act a three years' course of training, and there are some that give a diploma in two years, and some only require one far to complete the course. There should be a standard course of study.

The latest person to snccumb is Miss Hope Temple, the well known song writer. She says: "I have seen a good many lady riders of the two wheeled machines in Lou don, but there are twice as many in Par is I have ridden only three times, bnt I am already in love with my machine The second time I came to grief in rid ing down liilL I got between two vehi cles, but managed to escape with a few bruises. " "Was the accident due to the obtru sive skirt?" asked the interviewer. "Oh, no. To ride a bicycle in petti coats is madness But, on the other hand, it is quite unnecessary to wear knickerbockers I ride in a short skirt, just short enough to avoid the pedals, and gaiters, with a tennis skirt and a sailor hat just the same costume that one has for glacier climbing. The cos tume is not unbecoming, I can assure yon. It is universal in Paris, and If Eng lish women would wear it I am sure bi cycling wonld soon become much more popular among them. It is such an ex hilarating exercise. I am fond of pretty well all sports riding, rowing, slxit ing, mountaineering. And for my own part I don't see why women should be debarred from any of these things if they feci themselves physically fitted for tnem.

They live handsomely in an apartment that rents for $05 per mouth. With all liv ing expense included in the sum total, including gns, fuel and servant's hire, the last costing 20 per mouth, it costs each woman exactly $ 8 per week. The same comfort and general aooomrnoda tion could not be secured in a boarding bouse for less than 120 a week for each one A musician is not considered a de sirable boarder, moreover, at any price. Eight dollars a week in this case pays for the best food the market allows in its season. It substitutes fruit for meat at breakfast and supplies cream for oof fee and oatmeal and hot rolls from the baker. Noon luncheon cousists of scram bled eggs, tea, sauce, cold meat or salad for variation. Six o'clock dinner con sists of soup, a roost, a vegetable, in addition to potatoes, a salad and coffee, cheese and crackers. When salad is not in the menu, dessert is supplied. Meals are always delicately and dain tily served, a feature which is not ob served sufficiently in the boarding house to suit the artistio feminine epicure- New York Advertiser. Mies Gates on Suffrage. A Miss Gates has been talking to the people of New Orleans on the suffrage question. She said some bright thingn, as, for example : "In Wyoming women have had the ballot 20 years. How do they manage about the baby? Why, the father and mother wheel his little carriage to the polls, and the baby crows while they vote for his best interests And, I tell you, the nearer the baby is to the ballot box the better for the baby. "In our age the man and his wife were one, and he was the one A penni less man married a woman having 100,000, and at his death she was for tunate enough to have $25,000 willed her, on condition that she did not mar ry again. " Carlyle, the old bear, used to speak of woman suffrage as "the chirps of the cricket amid the crack of doom," but then the Scotchman had a chronio dis pepsin. Dickens makes Mr. Toots put it in a different way. "Yon see," said Mr. Toots, "what I wanted in a wife was in short, was sense. Money, feeder, I hod. Sense I I had not particularly. " Well, what we want in politics is de cency, which at the present moment we have not "particularly." And perhaps the women will furnish it Who knows! New York Herald. Her Economical Trip.

Little Alice never liked to go to bed. She made uinny excuses for this dislike One night she was fussing a little as usual. "Oh, mamma," sho said, "I feel so lonesome I" "Suppose," said mamms, "yon think about the pretty, bright stars. They are shining so brightly. There is one almost opposite your window, just over the roof of papa's office, " "Let me toe," cried Alice, running to the window. "Mamma, I am going to chooso that brightest one for my own. " "Very well, door," said mamma. Every night after this for some years before jumping into her little bod Alice weut to tho window, lifted the curtain and bade oue star good night She had a verse she used to say : Oood nlf hi, llttl tar. I to to my bed. I Litre von to shin wbll I lay down mj bead On my pillow to net Until morning light. When you will he (ailing And I aha.ll be blight. If the nights were cloudy and Allot could not see any star, sho said the verse just the tame, for the thought the stars were shining somewhere behind the clouds. After this she said no more about being lonesome, but went happily to bed. Youth's Companion. Th Clock' race. One of the questions that the sharp I eyed boy or girl is suro to ask is, Why lsn t the hour of 4 on a clock face put IV instead of four ones, thus, IIII? The reason for it is said to be that away back in the time of Charles V of France, who reigned in the Litter half of the four teenth century, when the first clock was made, its maker, Henry Vick, was com manded to bring it before the king. He did so, and the king was very well pleased with it, watching the works with much interest But he said finally, " Yon have got the figures on tho dial wrong. " "I think not, your nisjesty," replied the clockmaker. "Yes. That four should be four ones." "Surely not, your majesty," urged the man again. "Yes, it should be four ones," insist ed the king. "Yon are wrong," once more laid Vick, which made the king very angry "Iamnevor wrong," bo cried. "Take it away and correct the mistake. " The poor clockmaker could only obey, and the blunder of the king has come all the wsy down to us, for sll clocks have been so marked ever since. A Tender Hearted Arab.

A physician who has giveu much thought to the hygiene of clothing has couie to theconclusiou that many deaths are caused by heavy woolen undercloth ing It can bo proved that flannels are of ten the cause of severe colds. To have a cold is to be in adiscasod condition, and that means a loss of vitality and a short suing of life It may even mean sudden death. Ono can easily demonstrate in one't own person on a small scale I ho ill ef foot of excessive flannels Hind your hand iu thick woolen bandage nnd leave it In that condition for a night Iu the morning you will find it damp and flabby, the poroe all o'" It is iu the iniwt snsooptibleciinditioii for catch Ing oolil If the whole body wore bronght (o the same state, the result of exposure to cold air would inevitably bo disaa troua That tho whole body is often brought to a nearly similar condition is certain The majority of eoplo during tho win ter incase themselves in heavy, tight wnolou or flannel garments These pro voke Hrxpiratiou and do not alworb It The result it that tho wearer's skin it hot, damp and highly susceptible to the Inflammatory effects of cold. A slightly lowered temperature can hardly fail to bring on a cold Heavy woolen underclothing it able to do all the mora harm lx valine, it has the weight of ancient domostio tradi tion. Few pcoplo darn to bo wiser than their grandmothers Woolen undercloth ing, according to modern experience, should t as light aa is consistent with comfort Thero are tunny (tenons who go through the winter healthily iu cot ton underwear, aud these are probably the most fortunate class of tho popula tion. But tho warmth preserving quali ties of wool are not to be ignored Ouo of Its great properties is that it Is a bad conductor of heat The hout of the body, therefore, is not given out by it It also does not stick to the skin and does uot absorb perspiratlou freely. This It a quality of doubtful value While it it agreeable not to have your undercloth ing glued to your tkin it is Injurious to carry a dopoKit of moisture which may become cold and do harm in all parts of the body. The object, therefore, should be to wear underclothing which doe uot cause excessive perspiration. It should bo light and loose. Wool is aparcutly tho best ninterial for the majority of people Tho subject of colds receives too little attention. Many people are resigned to the periietual possession of them. They ihnuld be regarded as disouso danger ous, offensive and unclean. Patent medicine advertisements print eloquent description of their final effects These remarks are applicable, to those who have neglected themselves too long and are fit subjects for the honpital or pro longed medical treatment A wiso at tention to clothing aud the general health Is more valuable than all reme dies and treatment Colds are probably the chief cause of ilhiesa aud disease among human being They give littlo trouble, to animals, who wear no clothing. Arguing from these fuels, tome enlhusia. ts would say thnt the loss clothing you wear ami the more yon expose yourself the healthier you will be But a state of civilization of consider able antiquity ha made It necessary for man to preserve his natural heat by ar tificial menus. It is not permissible to abandon clothing entirely in this conn try. Nor is itadvisablo to wear as little as the public authorities will permit during an American winter.
