the
Labrador Coaat,
Fnr up on the Labrador const lives
Nurse Cnwardlno, who for eight long
winters long lu a very literal sense
lias had sola charge of the only winter
hospital on n thousand-mile coastline.
The hospital is nn outcome of the
ltoynl National Mission to the Deep
Sea Fishermen of England, a medical
mission founded back In the SO's, nnd
much favored by IJiicen Victoria, who
olwnya had n wnrm spot in her heart
for tha soldier and sailor lads of Eng
land. The hospital ships of the mission
piled for some years only nmong the
Hrltish fishing boats of the Cerninn
Ocean, but in 1S!2 increased support
enabled the mission to send n hospital
boat to the fishing banks of Labrador.
There, each summer comes a motley
fleet of fishing craft. Most of the fish-
ernieu nre Newfoundlanders, who bring
with them their wives, children, dogs,
gouts and fowls. These nre pricked in
cabin and lioldln friendly promiscuity
with nets, boats, salt nnd barrels of
beef, pork, flour nnd molnsscs. A few
Nova Scotian crnft are mingled with
the rest, nnd occasionally n Gloucester
boat, working the great halibut banks.
Altogether, there is nn influx of 30,000
fisher folk each spring, who, along with
the 4000 whites and the loOO Esqul
mnus who live there permanently, do
vote their entire time to the fishing
banks.
The banks stretch nlong n thousand
miles of const, nnd this great fleet, scat
tered over this vast, distance, is entire
ly without medical assistance except
that furnished by the mission. The
hospital ship plied to nnd fro nlong the
bonks, but enrly in the first season it
was perceived that shore hospitals
were needed to relieve its crowded
wards. Two were sppedlly established,
for the summer only, but when the
days began to shorten and the boats
sailed nwny sottthwnrd it seemed Im
possible to leave the 5000 people upon
that dreary coast without nurse or doc
tor through the long winter.
So one doctor stayed to patrol the
coast, going up and down even ns the
hospital ship had followed Its bent on
the waters, while In the log hospital on
Caribou Island Nurse Ada Cnwardlno.
a graduate of n London training school,
remained to hold the fort tilnne.

meetings nt odd times. Kind friends
In England, Canada and the Vnltcd
States occasionally send barrels ol
clothing, books' and toys, nil of which
nre distributed bv the nurse, with care

Tlio Faita of Women,
The woman doesn't live who hasn't
eome pet fad or fancy, or probably one
might call It weakness. This, how
ever, must be Judged by tho observer.
Many women have their little pet
fancies, but do not admit them. If
they are home funcles the outsider
never finds them out, for a woman will
never tell about her preference for n
certain emollient cream to he used on
the face which she thinks it would be
imnosslble to do without. Or. pel linns,
It mny be a certain brand of toilet soar
or bnth perfume thnt she considers in
dlspensnble.
Some women nre content with pure
soap and a little ammonia in their bath,
while the woman with a fancy for
dainty toilet accessories must bnve her
perfumes, lotions and creams or else
she does not feel comfortable. Then
there Is the woman who has a fad for
pictures. She will have the walls of
her room hung with pictures, good,
bad and Indifferent.
Another woman will have n fad for
dainty stationery and nil its accessor
ies, and still another one will bnve
fad for dulnty shoes or underwear, and

or fancy. It la the woman who has I
Judicious mixture of all these fads and

Our Youni Folks.
Wife Klllor. Crazed by Drink.
There r.ro but few daily newspapers
which tail to chronicle the murder or at
tempted murder of some woman or child
by men crazed by drink, every day in the
yenr. It is n painfully monotonous ehrnni
clinc and the worst pnrt of the whole busi
ness is the helplessness of the victims.
If there were a dozen mad dogs in Geor
gia roanuna nt hugv, that lot or attempted
to bite somebody every day, the people in
the vicinity would feel they were doing
Hood work in the service of civilization and
for the lxnelit of humanity to turn out en
masse and make n finish of the epidemic
of hydrophobia. Xo matter how much it
cost the county or the State they would
do their bent to put an end to mad dog
brutes.
Nevertheless, the husband and father of
S family can place himself in the cate
gory of mad doi?s infected with a crnze to
kill his wife and children, or any other
person who mny rush in to the rescue of
these helpless ones, nnd he is let nlone
until he does his bloody work. It Positive
ly fatigues the inclination to see the indif
ference of public opinion to these daily
atrocities. Human life seems to he the
cheapest thini under the sun. l'or year?
nnd years n few faithful temperance wom
en have petitioned the (Jeorizia Legislature
to erect nn inebriate nsyhim wherp the.ce
drunkards may he imprisoned until they
are cured of t1e mndneis or kept solmr un
til thrv can be released under a tnrlougli
or ticket-of-ltavc und bond for good beha
vior. They have been met bv the complaint
that it would be n harbor for the ibunknrd
who would be fed nnd housed nt public
expense. Granting this fart, if fact it be,
would it not have been better to have kent
that miserable creature in a Inek-un who
killed his fnther-in-lnw, who did his ut
most to kill his wife and son and finallv
killed his own desperate self? This sad
tragedy happened in. the last three days
within fifty miles of Atlanta, nnd it is sim
ply one of many that we read about every
dnv.
Poor womankind nre the evcrydav vic
tims of the drink demon, nnd whether it
is poisoned liipior or a decadence of public
virtue. I am unable to say. hut no woman
is safe in her own home with an inebriate
husband, and she is the prey to virious
lust on the common highway from drunken
liends, as the reeorls testify-.
Something must be done, for no woman
should be compelled to live in the house
with n habitual drunkard. She should
hnve sonic protection.
When I think of the licenses which nre
sold, the Hermits bought to make demon
iao cut of husbands and fathers, I feel the
blood run hot in my veins, to see the in
difference that prevail in this liquor busi
ness. Kifty vears from now the people of
that era will be ashamed to own a their
ancestors a lot of men who would license
the makimr of these wife-killers and child

The '.ears tilled my eves as I read of that

struggle to protect his ilau-rhter and her
children from this demoniac ilmukerd.
And vet the demoniac driinl-a'd was a dep

the county he lived in!
What a travesty on our politics! What
a crime before high heaven, such nretences
and shams! It i understood well known.
1 puliliclv stated fact the deputy sheriff
was in the habit of "going on sprees" a
fnnt so well authorized that his poor wife
felt obliged to get nwny from him nnd to
take oer children out of his reckless path
in life. Ileeaiise she notified the inebriate
of her resolution she was shot down like a
dog in her own house nnd lay beside the
dead body of her own honored father,
who came in response to her frenzied call
fo nssistnnee nnd was brutally murdered.
Why is it that nohodv helned that wom
an, or protected her from this confirmed
inebriate, who was by some strange mis
chence fastened upon the wlio'.e enuntv as
a deputy sheriff? It is a lime for plain
tall.-, nnd that man had no bsinpss in
such nn office. He was unfit to live in the

Is good for body, mind and soul;
Helps man to guard hi. word, and actions'.
Acts as restraint 'gainst false attractions, ,
Helps man to use good judgment, too,
In business lines he may pursue.
It helps a man avoid confusions
Which would result in wrong conclusions.
A little bit of patience, too.
Will help a man his course pursue
In such n way thnt good success
And true contentment will him b!cs
