from an olovatlon of only two feet.
The distance Increase as tho square
of the height of the masts. Thero Is
probably a slight absorption of the en

"But. of course, the height of the

LANGUAGE OF THE TURKEY.
An KnitllF.li Nnlurllt Think lln In dor.
ltintl tlm (ifitil1rri fi'lfil.
Nelson Wood, an Kngllslt Bclentl.t,
has made a lite leng study of the lan
Kiinge of birdn and bo thinks ho enn
not only nii leistnnd what many of the
feathered creatures are saying, but
nlso express things to them which
they understand. Ho baa many Inter
(Rting thlnus to tell about the birds
he tins met.
The rreatiirea of the air, no he Bay,
talk the least: turkeys, chickens and
such feathered creatures, as thy do
not lly very much, talk tho most. Tho
explanation of this Is nntural.
The birds that do not fly are al
ways In moro danger nnd they havo
nmny notes of warning. Language
among them, of course, as it nun t
havo been with primitive man, is but
an expression of tho simple needs:
Danger, hunger, warning, pleasure
and such sensations aro the first onto
tlona expressed.
To Illustrate the various calls which
a turkey has, Mr. Wood cites a not'!
for overhead danger, another for
danger on the ground, a third for a
hawk in tho distance, another of com
plaint when hoins driven, a different
call In open meadow from that in
bushes, n special signal at night, as
well as n special kind of note tif ed In
ordinary con versa t inn.
Chickens havo ev;'n moro modes of
expression. A lun has three distinct
songs, ono when seeking her nesl,
another for calling her mnte nnd a
third for crooning to herself or iu tho
fcrarcli for food.
Tiie rooster has nevcrot distinct
notes nnd Mr. Wood Bays that some ol
these the ordinary person never ob
serves. There Is one, a low fine whis
tle which the looster uses sometimes
on a dark day when going to roost,
but when the rooster really begins 10
carry on nn exl"nr;lvo conversation la
when he meets another chanticleer In
battle.
It ranges all tho way from a defi
ant chuckle which Invites the other
fellow to fight as surely as the pro
verbial chip on a boy's shoulder, to a
feminine croon which means fear and
a desire to retire.
Perhaps of all birds the parrot Is
tho most Intelligent. Peopln hnv?
born accustomed to think of the par
rot as simply a mlmle, but Mr. Wood
pretends to have known many that
actually understood the words they
were saying. One of hU parrot, friends
always saluted him with "(iood morn
init" early In tho day and "Good
night" in tho evening.
Tho ability of crows to smell gun
powder a long distance off has always
been arsertod for them ami those wlto
have studied the birds to any extent
easily recognize varying caws, show
ing fear, warning or affection, as the
caso may bo. That birds aro able to
express pleasure every one knows.
Tho cheerful lilt of the songsters i
only one way in which they show
their Joy of living in such a good
world as this.

Perhaps many people have noticed
that tho blind man who plays the hand
organ day after day at Grand avenue
bridge has a watch in his pocket. Ho
has a watch, and can tell time, too.
Yesterday a man dropped a nickel In
hia cup, and, noticing the watch, asked
him for the time. It was a queer ques
tion to ask, br.t ho saw the watch and
wanted to know whether the blrtid man
was simply pretending to bo sight leva.
"I think I caa tell," taid the blind
man. Ho held It up close to his ear
and slowly turned the stem-winder.
'One. two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eisht," he counted, and then ho
said: "That moana 72 minutes. I wound
in; tho watch tightly at 3 o'clock and
eo the time oiuiht to be about 12 min
utes pact 4. Here, look and see how
near I came to It."
His questioner looked, nnd the time
was -1.18. Ho was only six minutes
oftY
"Do you mean to say that you can
tell tho time of clay by winding up
your watch?"
"Not exactly, but I can come mighty
near It; usually within ten minutes,
and It's very easy, too. All you have
to know is how long one click in wind
ing up will run the watch. I'll explain.
Suppose tnat at 3 o'clock I wind up my
watch until It la tight, as we say; that
Is. until another turn of the winder
would apparently break a spring. At
C. o'clock I wind the watch again and
find that the winder clicks 12 times
before the watch is wound up to the
place where it sticks. Then I know
that 12 clicks will run the watch 120
minutes, and that one click represents
10 minutes of time." Milwaukee Sen

Decidedly we are going back to the
use of bold buttons, but only as deco
rative elements In tailors' as well Da
dressmaker' gowns. On some of tho
prettiest velveteen and corduioy suits
large wood button mobls covered with
Intensely gay brocade havo advan
tageously appeared. The buttons are
a.1 big n:t a half dolla, are slightly
convex In form, and the bit of brocade
that covers each mold shows a very

Thei-e Is a charm of youth nnl
happiness that chrrlea a certain
amount of thouR'.itlulness for a time.
Yet this charm Is only a pailng one,
and soon lailB to win consideration if
it is not accompanied by a certain
dignity of polso and wlsJom and tnet,
which youth, aj well as a?e, may pos
scaa. The old saying, "beauty la only
skin deep," Is dally proved by tho
superior charm which genulno beauty
of character exert.i on tho most trivial
minded of Individual:!.
No young womaa can afford to be
bluff and careless In her treatment of
the world. In the old days of the
Colonial times, manual work was more
necessary than exact culture, but they
have passed. The maker of dough
nuts and dumplings was a more Impor
tant factor In the society of a 100
years ago than the skilful teacher or
worker In any skilled field of today.
Women did not have time to bo proper
ly educated. Their energies were limi
ted to their homes. All this la changed.
The world demands of any ono who
would reap Its rewards of success a
great deal of Intelligence, and also
unselfishness. It demand good man
ners, which have their root In unsel
fishness and thought for others. A
wise young woman who expeeu to
succeed in any vexation docs not Ex
pect any consideration because of bor
"thoughtless" youth. She alms to be
thoughtful and considerate as well as
helpful. A girl who la called to enter
a family as a companion, governess
or even ft ft lervlng maid may be so
tactrul nnd thoushifnl that 'ic Is
Invaluable or she may be so thought
less thnt every one In the houyrt Is
relieved when Bhe takes her depar
ture. One of th. Rreati'st rlemecls of
fuccess which a young woman can
p( ssess Is the power or effacing her
c-v!i pors.-mnlliy In her work. In other
words, the power or doing her work
so quickly and so well that the work
er Is forgot ten In tho perfection of
I . r work. The nld her helpful hand
l.iia given, tho tact and care she ban
exercised, make her Invaluable. Hho
nmnag-'s to make herself useful and
agreeable to young nnd old. It Is
tlj' numberless thoughtful things she
I ns done, which a careless woman
might have neglected to do, which baa
been the greatest value of her work,
as well as her skilled knowledge.
When on- sees n huniod crowd of
'fi boolghis possessed f the radiant
rharm of youth, but full of careless
ness and slangy nnd coarse In their
language, as the youth of tho begin
ning of t:ie 2'Ua ee ilury often are,
one beconi.-.i thoug'.itlul. No ii'irf
wishes a young peiyon to bo anything
but happy, but thero i& a certain Joy

succeeds far better today thnn a
coarse, loud woman In any position In

fession lines not Bee'in to have attract
ed much nttcntlon, but it Is undoubt
edly one of the most extraordinary
educational phenomena ever wit
nessed. 80 far as the rocordn go. the
III fit seiiool for training nurses was
established In Philadelphia In 1S2S.
It was known as the Philadelphia Ly-Ing-ln
Charily und Nurse School, and
was an Innovation which met littl"
cneouragemenl. Old fashioned nurses
nnd mid wives, hospital attendants,
and even phyale Inns opposed It bit
terly and elenounci'd tho employment
of young women In a sphere which,
they said, propriety forbade them to
enter.
The people of Penn'a city aro ob
stinate when they feci that they are
In tho right. The school went on
turning out graduates each year, nnd
gradually overcoming tho prejudices
of tho conservatives. NevertheleBS
the change was Blow. In 1SSU thero
were only a dozen of these Institu
tions. In I8S: a score, and in lS'JU 31
schools with 1(! scholars.
Then came a eiinnge which was el
most magical. YVhul brought it about
Is impossible) to tell. It Is true that
many old-fai-ililoned niK8'-3 about this
time committed grievous erroin, and
that the advocates of women's medi
cal colleges urged the extension of
tho trained-nurse system, but these
cannot be regarded as lUiniiient In
their Influeneo to !nve brom.'i;. about
the revolution. In every part eif this
country and Canada new schools were
eipeneil, ami each wnH soon filled to
the limit. In the scholastic year
lX'.U IH'.t'i tho schools hail more than
trebled, and the pupils doubled, the
totals being 131 nnd 3118 3. Three
yearn later the schools were 377 and
tho scholars HS'iS. In 181)0 the total
number of graduates was 20,11110, in
J.S0IS 3"..(iim, uud today It Is Bupposed
to bo r0,OIHI.
The banner record Is held by the
old Philadelphia Institution, which
has graduated over 32io in its bmg
and honorable career. In the distri
bution of Bcbools tho numbers follow
the Intelligence, rnther than the popu
lation of the various states. Thus,
the authorities Bay, Maryland has six,
while Massae-husettB has -12, and Tex
as, with Its S.iMin.iMMi people, has but
two, while Illinois has 31. Theso fig
ures do not include a large number
of institutions which tut 11 out skilful
liuraea. In nearly all of the big
eitles of the eastern and central
states are homes, asylums, and re
fuges, where young women are hired
to act as nuroes. Tho Institution edu
cates them, but simply with u view
to utilizing their labor afterwards, and
not with the intention of piepniin';
themi and then losing their servlcca.
i here are more than 2m places of
this cIuhb whli'h average 0 girls each.
Neither does It Include scores of
young women who have attended mod
li-nl colleges and have been unable
t'j be graduated, fhey niakecompetent
11111 hch. and by many people are pre
fi'i'rod to the alumnae of third class
schools.
The course varies from ono to three
yenrs. anil averages two and one
Quarter years. The students receive
their board, lodging, fuel, light and
washing, and Home honorarium. Their
education Is supposed to be cepiul In
value to the services they render, and
the money to be complimentary pay
ment. Sueii Is the thi'ory, but in act
ual practice tho schools, which are
almost invailablv attached to hospit
als, pay the trained nurses from
to 815 a month. I'pon graduation,
the larger 111.1t of the pupils take up
active work. Here they command
from $13 lo $.10 a week, the price very

which have been cHinblbiied.
In New York City the ivgulr.r rate
nee ending to thoi.e In charge at tho
various headnuartera, Is $25 a week.
Iu most Instances, tho work Is not au
exhausting fis la popularly supposed.
Sometimes it Is very severe for n
couple of eluys or several weeks. This
period Is followed by one of less labor
and continued exertion while tho pa
tient recovers. The easiest tanks -urn
those of caring for tho chronic infirm,
tho aged, and those who Buffer from
accidents. The hardest are thoiie
which are obstetrical or which deal
with the Inaane or tho temporarily
deranged.
The trained nurses have now a
world of their own. In several cities
thoy havo clubs. Their profession has
Its own literary organ, and in smaller
towns there la always some school
which takes tho place of a local head
quarters. Tho general practice of a nurse is
to tako two or three weeks off each
year for a vacation. Somo who are
ambitions go to Europe and there
Etudy the hospitals of London nnd
Paris. A few continue their medical
studies, and finally secure the degreo
of M. D. But and here comes what

the numbers of the profession
a large percentage get married and
give up the calling or elso confine It
to their own household. The old be
lief that a sick man is never a hero,
and that the atmosphere of a sick
room contains no romance, has been
proven absolutely false by experience.
The nurse who makes a sick man
happy, who ministers by fine cooking,
pleasant manners, a cheery smile, anel
a Bolt, caressing hand, always wins
esteem, Rcncrnlly affection and often
love. Several of tho school keep lists
of graduates, and the number checked
off ns married forms a larger percent
age than tnoso similarly cneckeMl
among the nluinnne of tho colleges.
The; course of study is Bevere and
ilemniiilt all the tlnio nnd attention
of tho pupils. It Is about the same In
all the leading hospitals. Mueh of
the work is hard manual labor, and
Includes dusting, sweeping, bed mak
ing, tho preparing nnd giving of diet,
assisting at surgical dressings and one-rations,
and the moving of patients.
In many of the schools there are kit-e-hi-ns
where tho students are taught
to prepare Invalid's diet, anil where
blight gills eilten become excellent
ch"l's. In their studies they are re
quired to obtain a fair knowledge of
anatomy, physiology, pathology, thera
peutics, and what Is generally known
as first aid to the Injured.
Out of tho tralned-nurBo movement
have grown two new philanthropic ac
tivities. Ono is well represented by
the Church Nursing Clubs and the
other by the Nurses' Settlements. In
the former the nurses are regally em
ployed by women's 'societies attached
to churches. Frequently they work
for hnlf pay and In not a few instances
they have contributed their ir-rvii'es
where they have been nble. to the
cause of humanity.
In the Nurse fiotll-mont system the
nurses have established setilemi nts
of their own. but moro often have
Joined social settlements condiu ted
by ttniViislty men nnd women. In this
field of labor they have be;Ml exceed
ingly successful. If those In clung''
or the big r.ctl lenient-) of this e-liv
aro not mistaken. t'i" trained 1.111 -,.-'s
have ae e-oniilished more sochI then
any other eouttl number eif worheiH.
The result Is, of com :ie. duo to their
e alllnn. It Is hard for a mini or wo n
an educated and we l drersed lo win
tho confidence of t'!o "lei'iiuered
tenth." Weeks, months, nri evn
years elapse before the wnrk'T Is ad
milled to some rough circl". which
she wlwbes to ameliorate. It Is far
diff-rent with the trained nurse. Sick
ness brings her Into th clre-le with
out exertion on her own part. a:ul
hero nine times out of ten idie wins
the friendship and love of both tho
patient and tho patient's family.

BILLIARD BALLS
Tli Thnn, Ciirr, 1 roiililn mill KKiipnn nf
Milking Tlit-in.
Few perrons who wield a billiard
cue are aware of the time, trouble nnd
expense of mnklng the Ivory spheres.
The billiard ball In Its natural state
Is. the principal means of defense for
nn elephant. In time tho elephant
falls a victim to the venturesome
hunter, nnd bo parts with his tusk-i,
which are tho most valuable of all bli
possessions to commerce. Most of tho
tusks find their way to Lond in, which
Is the greatest sales mart for Ivory.
Thero are different kinds of Ivory,
and only the finer kinds are suitable
for making billiard balls. The b?st
comes from the small tusks, which
are from four to six inches Iu diam
eter at the thickest end. They are
sawed Into blocks, each section beliuj
lnrge enough to allow of tho turning
of n Blngle ball.
The factories devoted to the billiard
ball industry in this country usually
receive the Ivory in this shape, the
sections being marked bo that tho
turners know from what part of tho
tusk each piece comes and In thi
way can calculate as to its grain and
quality. It tnkes a Ion? time to pro
duce a perfect billiard ball, and only
skilled labor Is employed.
The exact centre of the ball Is first
discovered by means of measurement.
The block is then placed in a socket,
and one-half of the bull ia turned
by an Instrument made of the finest
uud sharpest edged steel. Tho half
turned ball Is then hung up iu a net
for awhile; then the sei-ond half is
turned and the ball lr.mg up as before
In n room the temperature of, which is
kept from lio to VO elri;ref s.
The roughly turned ball in kept In
Ilia petition about a year. Then
conies the polbihing, whitening, etc-. A
good deal of hard rubbing Is plso
necevsury, as the ball, before being
lined, should be as near n certain
weight as possible and measure l.vo
und thrre-elghths Inches In diameter.
It has been found Impossible to K-'t
two balls exactly the same weight.
Very often they will be heavier on
ono Bide than on tho other, nnd fre
quently they spilt right through the
centre. This Is duo to decay.
Not until after it has been placed
on the tnblo is the real lifo of the bil
liard ball shown. The pores of the
Ivory may close, and then If the ball
Is kept In a hot room It Is likely to
crack, or it may crack by reason of
concussion with other balls. This is
one of tho great difficulties to con
tend against. To overcome this -.he
balls should be kept in ns eveu a
temperature a3 possible.
When a billiard ball is first used, it
occupies the first rank. A crack may
soon bo exposed and then it is re
turned to the factory. The nick Is
shaved off. and It comes back slightly
smaller In size. It may then find its
way Into some second rate billiard
room. After somo more hard usage
It Is again returned to the factory und
comes forth again much reduced in
Blze and probably becomes a cue bill
In pool.
After It Is found to be practically
useless for the purposes for which it
was originally made It Is bought by
dealers lu bone and Ivory and the ball
Is then turned Into buttons or burned
and used In the making of Ivory black.
