WOMAN’S WORLD. Mrs Hugh Price Hughs*, discussing the MrT ,nt *lrl question In (he New Tork He: tid. says: A the present moment 1 know ladles ,4 mall mesne who are managing very oomtortaWy without servants at all.

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. hey are. however, people of large t* tried Imagination, *nd they really he lm e that rtusan Jane.

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.
