There Is reason to believe that house
work will become n profession for ladles.
In exactly the time way as nursing has
lieeoms a refined profession. There are
sev*;l Indications that this will he so.
as, lor Instance, the establishment of the
Nor Hard Institute for training ladies as
children's nurses, and the numeroua prl
vat experiment* which are being made
In that direction.
Ti e ' la ly help;' who appeared upon the
scene some twenty yeare ago was a fail
ure. because she drew a distinction be
tweir. nv c al work and work that was lit
for a lady to do. Hhe had to learn, as the
hospital nurse has learned, and as Christ
has taught os by his years of labor in a
carpenter's shop, that all work done for
the good of humanity is dlgnlfled and
saertd
Ary Christian man or woman who has
seen the l asslon I'lay at Oborommcrgau
will reailxe that In the scene of the feet
was:..i g a! the Last Supper Christ abol
ished menial work forevermore. The hoa
plia: nurse has many rough, laborious
and repulsive tasks to perform In the
lours# of her vocation, but tlroy are part
of h< r duly and she performs them intel
ligently aoJ without complaint. Cleaning
grab" floors and saucepans may not be
pleasant, but it Is honest work end has
Its own dignity. In the quaint words of
Oeoige Herbert—
Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws
Makes that and the action tine.
The nobility of any profession Is made
by the Ideas which people bring to It.
end the appearance of the lady may do
for domestic service what It has done for
the nursing profession.
Apurt. however, from these possibilities
of the future. I am more and more con
vinced :.fter years of experience that much
of ihe s -called servant difficulty arises
from the fact (hat mistresses rannot bring
themselves to u altze that the same hu
man nature exists In them and In their
servant* They have a fatal lark of lmag-
Itiat rn in dealing with their servants, an<}
forgft tbs* servants have the same hu
man desires, a pirn none, fallings and con
tradiction* as r< Ign In their own bosoms.
The servant must be ulwavs contented,
respectful and ehe >rful. She must not
grumi • she must not have moods or
'nerve.'-." She must not be eager for hol
idays or visitors, and In all things she
must put the Interests and convenience
of her employers first.
Many mistres-es. If Judged by the stand
ard with which they measure their ser
vants, would be found fatally lacking. In
sp.te of all the difficulties of the present
day 1 know people who succeed In getting
and retaining their servants and who win
t: e|r true affect and loyal service.

Two Years and Six Months
Without Sleep-
Sleep seems to he iff many case* a
matter ot habit, just os eating un<l
drinking are habtU. The Arab whose
desert life leads to abstemiousness, de
clines the offer of a draught of water,
saying. "No thank you. I drank yester
day " He dnflks only when thirsty,
and like hie own camels, he can go long
ant far without water.
It's much the same with sleep When
Gabet and Hue, the Preach missiona
ries, were exploring Tartary they en
gaged in the trans.stion of the Scrip-
tures. working without intermission dsy
and night. When one felt the need of
sleep he lay on a couch, holding in his
hand a hall, beneath which, nu the
floor, was a brazen bowl. When his
muscles relaxed sufficiently to release
the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the
noise wakened the sleeper who re guru ed
his work.
But it is one thing to give up sleep
aud another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma, bronchitis and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration are
only too familiar with this enforced
wakefulness. They would rive almost
anything for a night's unbroken rest.
THE SKCKgT OF SLEEP
for them lies in the cure of the disease*
which hamsh slumber. That this cure
is possible is abundantly proven by
those who have used Doctor I'ierce’*
Golden Medical Discovery for the cure
of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-arated
coughs, lung " trouble ” and other dis
eases of the organs of respiration.
