THE HOSPITAL GIRL.
AN INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO HER
RESPONSIULE DUTIES.
Alone All N'lglit In a Gloomy Ward witb
a Score or More of Sick and Dying
Patients The Tang of the Ambulance
At the end of three months tho novico is
put on night duty in either tbo medical or
surgical ward, and then it is thaj ail the
heroism and courage of Uer nature is called
into action. One 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. In tho surgical ward tho doctor leave?
his orders, often supplemented by tho infor
mation that a patimit in end ward has just
passed through a severe operation, there is
danger of hemorrhage, and tho nurse must
not leave her alouo. Perhaps in the other
ward a patient is very low. The doctor says
she must be watched constantly, for she is
liable to die at any moment. Then ho goes
away, and tho 3'oung girl flits about in the
gloom from cot to cot, administering medi
cines and treatment, hurrying from tho side
of ouo sufferer to the other, half fearful to
gaze into the quiet face lest it bo already
still in death; afraid the duugerous)y ill pa
tient in one ward will die while tho' goes to
soo the dying sufferer in the other.
Suddenly tho ' dread clang that all nurses
fear with a nameless horror strikes upon her
ear through tho dreadful, stillness. It draws
nuaiu- ami nearer, and fctops at tho doorv.aj'.
Every nurse knows the iortent of tho ambu
lance belL Every nurse fears tho arrival of
some new patient if there is an empty cot in
her ward. 1 hen comes tho sound of t.lov,
measured footsteps drawing nearer anil
nearer, and she flies to make ready I M civipt y
cot, only hoping no ouo will uio -while sho is
enguguti v ith--i.be new "comer. Tho men
come in' with thb' stretcher ' and deposit its
burden on the bedl The nurse wu.siie?
blood from' the 'wniir.. V,U" "" "
" .. the injury as
... w possible, and, if very serious,
calls the doctor. If only n cut needing a few
stitches and careful bajidaging, tho nurse per
forms the operation herself; bathes her pa
tient anil makes her comfortable, and then
hurries back, jeiiaps to witness for the first
time the last struggle of a dymg person.
When the last shuddering sigh falls from
tho stiffening lips, the brave girl alone in the
gloomy ward closes tho eyes, folds the life
less hands, and taking down the card bear
ing the name of tho dead from over tho bed,
hurries down through tho long dim corridors
to tell tho orderly to prepare for tho burial.
If tho patient be heavy, the nurse calls the
helper, a woman from prison, one of which
is kept to do tho cleaning in each ward, and
together they "do up tho corpse," as it is
called in tho hospital If, on tho other hand,
the dead woman is slender, the nurse bathes
and shrouds her alone, all of which must be
accomplished within an hour after her death.
Then tho men enter with tho box and she is
borne out, the nurse throws the bedding out
on tho 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 aro likely to
occur between the hours of 13 and 5 a. in.,
when vitality is at a low ebb.
A person who has watched at night by tho
bedside of one who is very ill can have a
faint notion of tho responsibility of a person
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
ing 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
nurse had pulled the screens up around the
dying woman's bed and was administering
6uch alleviating remedies as lay in her power,
when she suddenly heard a great disturbance
in tho adjoining ward, and hastening there
found an immense fat woman, crazy with
fever, promenading up and down the ward,
making havoc with everything movable.
Coaxing, commanding and assisting her, sho
was finally settled in bed again, but as the
nurse bent over her dying patient tho same
commotion was heard in the other ward
again, and she went back, and 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, sho heard the noise of groans and
screams in the other ward, and found the
fat woman on tho floor, with her feet still
tied to the bed. By the help of all the force
in the ward she was lifted to her place,
strapped down to the bed, and in the gray
light of tho dawn tho dead woman was pre
pared for her burial, while the living moaned
in pain.
In another cot a perfect specimen of wo
manhood lay dying. The doctors, with mis
directed zeal, had" prolonged her agony by
the operation of tracheotomy, and she lay
struggling with death in all the f reshnei-s 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 smokt.
that had injured her internally past all re
covery. Tho 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 gavo her last
spasmodic shiver tho little babe she had saved
so heroically moaned out, "Ma-ma-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
was dead. Tho 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 nur? e who has been practicing her pro
fession for some time says she doesn't believe
even now 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 and sacredness. Many
of the nurses, however, love their hospital
work with a strange fascination, and either
accept situations in otner ?3 uiar
graauate or GuiaiiVBome sisrrca place i n their
own. The orderly, systematic routine, the
preciso automatic regularity of tho hospital
forvice, tho constant attendance of the phy
sicians, tho convenience of arrangements,
and tbo society of tho nurses, together with
au infatuation for tho excitement of new
cases, and the universal love and gratitude
of the patients, endears hospital life to them.
What tho collego is to the physician tho
training school is to the nurse, and as only
through the ghastly horrors of the dissecting
room is an accurate surgical knowledge ol
tained, so is it only through, the exieriences
of the hospital words thi nurses learn the
strength, ccurg, ekiL' self reliance and
patience requisite for the exigencies uud
emergencies of their chosen occupations.

"Four and five dollar sets of teeth uadt
while waiting."
That is a portion of an advertisement that
caught a reporter's eye and caused a visit to
the office of the dentist whe had insert td it.
Many men doubtless remember that cer
tain of theu relatives remained in solitary
confinemoMr for frorr two to thr'v iri-rU
while waiting the an . aj oi the leic-aJ tci. ot
grinders, is it possiblo that one ear bavo
one's ow n worthless teeth removed, an im
pression of the mouth taken and new teeth
fitted, and all within an hour cr to's tunc?
The dentist, when asksd that question, an
swered 'affirmatively. "You see," said ho,
"dentistry is progressing like everything
else, ami it is an every day occurrence for
me to get up a $5 set of teeth in an hour and
a half. Although it would be much better if,
after having teeth extracted, the patient
would wait for a week until tho mouth heals
and the bone which surrounds the teeth be
dissolved, still there are ever so many who
como here nnd will endure tha discemfu;
and pain which of recossity follows a quick
opera tion rather ttjud depart toothlejssj
' ilowao i do It so quickly. VeIi, by a.
method or 'process I usa i,n yyAczuiw '"
'cooking' the riihber '"'' " o "r
V:V;cr " . ie plate.wuich
.y long process to an hour's
"No, it is not so satisfactory, nor is it any
less expensive, but it is quicker. Tho price
of a false set of teeth depends almost entirely
on the number and size of the platinum pinr
which the teeth contain, and the quality and
texture of the porcelain used.
"Then, too, the small manufacturers of
cheap teeth are continually cutting one
another's throats, and the people get the
benefit. The dentist ha3 very little to do in
detei-miuing the price.
. "Countrymen and farmers buy more false
teeth than do any other class of people. You
see, Mrs. Jones, for instance, has the tooth
ache, comes to town, and, after frantic at
tempts to get rid of the pain, has all her
teeth pulled, and with a beautiful new set,
with perhaps a little gold filling in front, re
turns to her village or farm. Mrs. Smith
sees Mrs. Jones' teeth, and, not content to be
without anything that Mrs. Jones has, she,
too, comes to- town and has porcelain substi
tuted for bor e.
"Country people don't take proper or even
decent care t their teeth; and, besides, they
eat too much pie. And they, too, are the
people who want their teeth served up in an
hour's tim. A countryman comes to the
city expecting to do shopping for 'the folks
at home,' take in the town and provide him
self, and perhaps his family, witb a set of
teeth, and all in one day. Sometimes he is
successful, too.
"Negrofcs carry a good deal of porcelain
and gold in their mouths, too, but they, al
most invariably, want the most expensive
sets, insisting upon gold plates and a plenty
of gold fil ling. 1 have made a number of
sets for n;groes which cost f 100. But in e
year's time a negro will manage to break the
best set that I can make, and then, of course,
he receives a bill for repairs.
The go!d plates are, of course, incompara
ably bettsr than the rubber or the celluloid,
and if a patient can afford them I always ad
vise their use." New York Evening World.
Superstitions of the Omahas.
Mr. Frank La Flesche, an Indian who ba
for some years been employed in the Indian
office, read an interesting paper before the
Anthropological society the other evening or
"Funeral Customs of the Omahas." "Th
approach of death," he said, "is believed t
be foreshadowed in various ways, not only tc
the person himself, but to others, who, bj
reason of their supposed skill in seeing the
coming of death, gain reputation as prophets.
They either have visions or pass through ap
parent death. The dreamer lies in the open
air, in the midsummer, with the thunder
rolling in the heavens, and listens for voices.
These come to him from animals, clouds or
merely the air. . Such persons as caD
foresee death are eligible to member
ship in the "Ghost society.' One vis
ion Is that of a woman walking, but
not on the ground, currounded by a
halo of brightness, and always leaving a vil
lage or lodge. If they wear a placid, pleasing
expression, the death will be from natural
causes, from accident or in war; but if the
face is distorted it is an indication that the
person will die while engaged in a quarrel
with another, and the soul is full of bitter
ness. Those ' who. foresee can also prevent
death, and are often called upon to render
this service. One method U pouring hot
water at right angles to the path leading to
the lodge, while another consists of occupy
ing, with one-whose death is foreseen, a sweat
lodge built by the latter, pronouncing cer
tain incantations and sprinkling the body of
the client with the powder of the artemesia,
supposed to be the food of the ghosts.
"The howling of a dog is also a token of
coming death, but is not so infallible as the
spectacle of a dog mounting the side of an
arth lodge, and peering through the opening
t the top. Then, with trembling limbs, the
tv-arriors, seated around the fire, seize mis
tiles and chase the dog and kill him to propi
tiate the ghosts. To see or hear the voices of
dead relatives is also a sign of approaching
death." Washinston Star.

The more ignorant cla.-s es of M
::,.-;:i set
tier? we found went per .'ailed wit !i a inr: !
abject dread and honor jf the Apaele-. In
earlier years, and i:i some instances ut the
present time, children from their t-;:rl:e.,t in
fancy are brought up to regard tho Apache
us some tei Kble. ogre, ti;;ainst whom, even
with odds ia their favor, it would be folly to
combat
A weil known major of a coKahi Califor
nia volunteer cavalry, operating 1:1 Anzotia
some years ago, relates an instance in point
whith goes to show the terror with which
these people are stricken upon the knowledge
of a near approach of the dreaded Anat-.io
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 winu length they reached the
town, but could crceiv-o no inhabitants
about the houses on tho plain. liaising their
eyes to tho hill, however, they beheld tho
entire population of some COO souls huddled
together in evident alarm. They had taken
them for Apaches aiid fled in dismay to the
protection of the presidio, which was held by
400 soldiers.
Another and still more striking incident
may be called here to show how completely
tho Apaches have control over tho Mexicans
on tho frontier. At one time uve Apache
prisoners two warriors and three women
were brought into town under astrong guard
of soldiers, and lodged in jail to await their
ultimate destination. Night came on ex
ceedingly dark and stormy, and the rain do
scended in torrents. Peal after peal of
thunder shook tho ndobean walls of the an
cient village, and vivid flashes of lightning
struck terror to tho hearts of its inhabitants.
The Mexican guards over the prison left their
posts of duty and retired within, wheret they
could smoke their cigarritos and 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 G CARDS.
"About midnight," said the narrator, "cer
tain peculiar noises were heard about tho
prison, and were repeated with an emphasis
that compelled attention. Instinctively tho
guard knew that these noise3 proceeded from
Apaches who were in quest of their incar
cerated friends, and tho fact was quickly
niadj apparent by the prisoners, who com
menced a chant in their native tongue loud
enough to bo heard outside. Hero v.a.s a
dilemma. Tho Indians were undoubtedly
watching the door with intense interest, and
none dared go forth in that impenetrable-
gloom to face the savage foe. The force of the
enemy was unknown. 1112 citizens could not
bo relied upon for aid; no one would come
to their assistance if attacked. They only
numbered eight men and a sergeant and
were panic stricken. Perceiving this state
of affairs, the Apache prisoners boldly ad
vanced and demanded to be let out, at the
samo time giving fearful veils 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 wece
never seen more.
Nor is the Mexican's dread of tho India::
in any measure without cause. Tho on
slaught upon their people is simply appalling.
Tho Apache is brought up to regard the
Mexican as his natural enemy, ami to rol
and kill such enemy is aa honorable achieve
moat. 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, tbo Apache of today is not the
Apache ef three-quarters of a e-entury ago.
That lui 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. Chi
