In Arkansas, recently, Mrs. Sarah Dim*
nitt was riding nlong the road with her
little boy behind her, and in passing a
burning tree saw that it was going to fall
across the road. She screamed and the
horse stop]>ed still, when, quick as light
ning, she jumped off, snatched her child,
and got out of the way just as the tree
came crashing down across the saddle,
killing the horse instantly. The lady
displayed presence of mind and quick
ness of action that would havo done
credit to any man.
A Receiving Hos-
Female Nurses—
f Patients.
i, writes Amos J.
oxk, can one fall
■enselasvriiSas great a sense of
security in being cared for as in New
York. The city Is divided into districts
convenient to the several hospitals, and
more than a score of ambulances, each
running in its prescribed district, are on
the go all the while. The patient falling
or injured on the street will regain
usness to find himself in Bellevue,
Harlem, Ninety-ninth street, Presbyterian
or Gonverneur hospital, his destination de
pending on the district where he chances
to be stricken down. If it is found that
he has money and is able to pay $7 to $50
a week for hospital care he may be taken
to New York, St. Luke’s, Roosevelt, Ht.
Sinai, German, St. Vincent’s, or St. Fran
cis hospital. If he has no money the city
charges itself with his care. Bellevue is
the great receiving hospital. It is on the
east side of Manhattan Island,
foot of Twentieth street. It is at
lar group of buildings arranged i
grass platted court, and built of rough
piazzas at each story, that
give it the appearance of a southern villa.
The patient is taken on a stretcher into a
reception room, where he is examined,
and the attending physician dccidos to
which department of tiie hospital he must
be sent. If he has a broken limb or is
otherwise maimed he goes to the surgical
department. If sickness and not death
has overtaken him, he goes to the medi
cal department. A corps of twelve phy-
and forty trained nurses are on
The doctors are from one of the
three medical college corps that have ac
cess to the hospital or from the non-col-
legiate staff. There are no homoeopathic
doctors in Bellevue, bat the patient so
inclined may be transferred to the ho-
mccopathic hospital.
A corps of forty trained female nurses
from the Bellevue training school ore on
duty in Bellevue Hospital. They earn
from $18 to $20 per month and their
board, which amounts to $10 per month,
tho sum beiug paid to the principal of the
training school. Their course extends
through two years, during which they
have the benefit of the Bellevue hospital
practice, which they, as well us the
physicians, value as superior to any other
experience obtainable in America. At
the end of two years they arc graduated,
and, if at all proficient, they at once find
employment at from $25 to $50 a week.
The supply of trained ni
equals the demand. Great

A surprisingly large number of well-
educated ladies from tho higher walks of
life enter the profession. Bellevue at

The rapid growth and breeding quali
ties of the German carp, which is now
the favorite fish for stocking ponds in
Western States, are a matter of astonish
ment to fishermen.' A typical instance of
its fecundity is that related by a fanner
residing near Fairfield, Iowa. Four yean
ago hie started a pond with three small
carp, and this year ho reports his stock
at 12,000. In the meant imo he has sold
hundreds for stocking ponds in various
parts of the State. The fish have attained
a great sice and aro said te be very tame.

Dr.-Wi-TC. 4 Newton, the New Jersey
Dairy Commissioner, has recently issued
a report which throws a good deal o<
light upon the question of popular de
mand for imitations of butter when they
ere kiovn to be such. He gives it as
the result of fcfe observations that there
is very little of such demand, and states
that the claim of sales having increased
largely since the passage of the National
law is entirely without foundation,
finds that the sales of the imitatioq pro
duct in jtew Jersey have^ccrcased about
sixty peri cent., many dealers who took
out licenses for its sale lmvc returned
their stock to tho factory, as they found
it impossible to sell when they could not
pass t^e riUff.Mges the genuine article.

How to Carve Well.

is what is necessary to carve well.

When the patient has reached Bellevue
it may be found that his case is a chronic
one, and he will, as soon as he is able to
be transjiortcd, be sent the Hr
Incurables. His case may be
of smajl-pox, or some contagious
disease, in which event he will be sent to
the hospital on North Brother Island,
one of the several islands in the East
River on which arc public institutions.
If his case develops into one of erysipelas
he will be removed to the little wooden
ivilion on the bank of East River that
rms one of the group of structures
called Bellevue Hospital. Insanity may
be the outcome of the disease, and then
the imtient is transferred for a time to
the insane piviliou of Bellevue, where a
nurse skilled in insanity will quickly find
out whether or not the patient haa de
mentia, melancholia, religious excite
ment, or suicidal tendency.

The smell of carbolic acid pervades

There were last Wednesday fifty adult

sprinkled over the bodies, and keeps them

three or four second*. The eyes
then shrink into the head, and some spas

nostrils expand, the mouth opens, the
tongue is retracted toward the fauces.
This respiratory effort is repeated three
or four times, but the senses seem to be
inactive and the will is lost. These phe
