HOSPITAL HURSES ISSMEMEIIT Tell of Their Work and Praise the Local Nurses' . Training .School.
At a called meeting of the Richmond Graduate Nurses' association, the members of the society, who were present, proposed that a public statement be made regarding the nurses' attitude toward their profession, and all that promotes Its Interests. The following statement was drawn up and adopted: The lives of nurses, as other professional women, are progressive and educative.' From the day a' young woman enters a Training School for Nurses she Is under sacred orders. She binds herself by promises of loyalty to the highest standards her profession sets 'for all nurses. Her faithfulness in serving her fellow men Is to be her living -testimony. The sense of justice and .honor, and a keen appreciation of the principles of right and wrong are parts of the educative process. By the consecration of mind and body and the elimination of selfishness and sordidness, the spiritual and ideal aspects or the vocation are emphasized in the mind of the Nurse. That there Is no Hint to the scope of opportunities presented to intelligent, conscientious women who are thus prepared by theory and practice, to give public Bervlco is clearly shown. Social and economic reformations give nurses a well recognized place in their affairs. As the association of graduate nurs;cs, we believe these principles training and education are inculcated in 'the Held Memorial Training School for Nurses, and that the school may be classed with the best In the country. We believe that student nurses, graduates, the medical fraternity patrons and the public generally should recognise this, and give the school 'their loyal support. As all hospitals And their training schools are interdependent and affiliated institutions, jtheir relationships must be duly appreciated and great care used that the Influence and efficiency of neither one i Injured. We wish, furthermore, to express ,our undivided administration for the appreciation of the work and examples of those who have had charge of this Institution, and most recently, Miss Mary B. Sollers. Her splendid Influence Is felt not only in the lives of the young women who have graduated from schools under her Jurisdiction, but in the work she has done for graduate nurses outside these schools. She Is a prominent and Indefatigable member of the Indiana Graduate Nurses' Association, and also a member of the American Alumna Association of Nurses. Wherever the has dealt with nurses, higher ideals and broader sympathies and a deeper sense of responsibility have followed her teaching. We pledge ourselves anew to greater diligence for the accomplishment of those better things which have been demonstrated to us by her life and example.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS
The stock market has shown another week of strength and thus far no signs of wavering. Each day it be
comes more evident that sentiment has changed, that the business barometer is rising and that confidence is correspondingly gaining. This change
is widespread, is not confined to the security markets and is merely a reflection of facts before they are commonly recognized. Spring is at hand.
Outdoor work is being resumed, and
with this change in the season there usually comes a more hopeful spirit, which materially assists any wellfounded recuperative tendencies. Crop prospects are highly encouraging. A long and severe winter has left the soil in much better" condition than usual, and though it is too early to form definite expectations, especially
as spring is late, it is a valuable ad
vantage to start with good soil con
ditions. Nothing will do more to al
lay discontent arising from the high
cost of living, or more quickly put
Jhe country again on the high road to
prosperity than a good harvest in 1912. This is the prime necessity of the
year, and beside it the question of next
President is a very secondary issue. Then, we have had a prolonged peri
od of severe liquidation and economy.
Liquidation has meant payment of
debts, restraint of speculation and a visible strengthening of the banking situation. Today our banks are exceptionally sound and well prepared to respond to any increased demand. Speculative land operations in the West, at one time a source of grave
danger, have been wisely restrained;
and the entire country is upon a sound
er and stronger financial basis than at any time since the panic of 1907. Another powerful aid to business recovery is the positive scarcity of many lines of staple merchandise owing to the conservative policy pursued by both manufacturers and distributors for the past two or three years. Consumptive demands are improving; hence bare shelves must be filled. This is especially true of the dry goods trade; an active demand having developed for cotton goods at advancing prices, some mills being entirely sold
out. Labor troubles in the textile trades ar.e being adjusted by advances
in wages, which in many cases were very low in comparison with wages in
other industries. The coal trade difficulties, though still a menace at this
writing, seem in a fair way of adjust
ment. The British strike is nearing the end, and this should-help matters here. In the anthracite trade there are no serious grievances on either side, and if the spirt of reason can be made to prevail no greater disturbance should occur, albeit we may expect a temporary suspension of mining. Even the steel trade is showing the effect of business improvement. Orders are coming in more freely; prices are already firmer, and there is every indication that the railroads will be forced into large buying because of much needed replenishment after a long period of economy and a severe winter which told heavily upon rolling stock. It may be argued that the railroad situation is not very satisfactory. This is partly true, inasmuch as added to heavy increases in expenses the roads have had to meet a heavy shrinkage of profits and are not permitted to advance rates. But these conditions have been well discounted. The roads met the situation far better than could have been expected. Dividends were maintained; and with the recovery in traffic wTiich may soon be expected their outlook will certainly become more encouraging. This does not mean any increase in dividends, because increased earnings will be needed for necessary repairs, wage advances, etc., and to aid the marketing Of -contemplated issues so badly needed for improvements, betterments, etc. The South has raised 10,200,000 bales of cotton, a yield far in excess of what was contemplated. The average price per bale, though lower than- year ago, is fairly satisfactory and the South continues to enjoy prosperity. The large exports of cotton which this crop will mean insure big American credits in Europe. The lowrr price cf cotton has also assisted New Knglaud manufacturers in granting recent advances in wages. In the money market the tendency is toward firmer rates as the April settlements approach. As already stated, our banks are in exceptionally strong position. But the widening activity of stocks and the prospects of business improvement, not to speak of continued gold exports, are against a return to the low interest rates which recently prevailed. Upon the whole, the tendency will be toward a steady hardening of rates. Europe continues to be a large borrower in this market, and the evident desire of the great European banks to strengthen their
resources will encourage a renewal rather 'than a cancellation of foreign loans in this market. In this connection it is satisfactory to note the continued encouraging reports of foreign trade; our exports in February reaching 1199,000.000, or $22,900,000 more than a year ago, while our imports were $134,000.00, or $12,000,000 in excess of a year ago. These returns indicate a further strengthening of our position abroad. International affairs will bear continuous watching, because there are still points at issue between the great Powers which at any time may produce irritation and derangement; particularly in South Eastern Europe and Turkey. The political atmosphere at home is somewhat clearer. Radicalism is on the wane; and though the political barometer is notorious for unexpected fluctuations there is reason to believe that the stock market has discounted the worst that is likely to happen in the political weather bureau. The technical position of the stock market is strong. The floating supply of stocks is concentrated in few hands and has not yet ben widely distributed. The recent rise was considerably stimulated by short covering, but seems to have been mainly due to a concerted movement of large interests, who wefe naturally prompt to take advantage of the improved conditions noted above. Thus far the rise has been perfectly legitimate and warranted by facta. There is no reason to beliece that it has yet to run its course. Reactions must be expected upon unfavorable developments, or in case of unexpected realizations; but the general trend of the market should be upward for some time to come, or until it has sufficiently discounted the changes for the better which began to appear in the first of February.
MUSIC RUSKIN HATED.
Chinese Music. ATI Chinese music is jvelrd and screeching. They say their pleasure fomes in exciting, not soothing, the mjves. They have flutes, horns, violins, mouth organs, guitars and table harps to be played with a loaded feather, which last make a delightful music akin to our mandolins. Every business bouse has its musical corps (just as we organize company baseball clubs), who in the evening are supposed to amuse the master, who lives on the story above the comprado's house. Seated on the counters which at night are also their beds, the fokis essay with a vengeance discords which are unquestionably disturbing to the occidental nerves, but for that reason the phlegmatic Chinese And them exhilarating. J. S. Thompson's "The Chi-
Seme Wagner Compositions Fitted Him With Blind Fury. It is of ctfrse well known that when the great litterateur and philosopher. Buskin, disliked any one or anything he did not hesitate to say no in the most forcible language the ocasiou might require. It is doubtful, however, if any denunciation Ruskln ever penned or uttered equaled his outburst over some of Wagner's music, which, according to Mr. E. T. Cook in '"The Life of Buskin." filled bini with bliud fury. Thus to Mrs. Burne-Joaes: "Of all the bete, clumsy, blundering boggling, baboon blooded stuff, I ever saw on a human stage that thing last nlg'a rTbe Meistersiuger") beat, as far x l he story and the acting went, antl of all the nSevted. sapless, .soulless, beginning less, endless, topless, bortoaloss. topsyturviest. tuneless, scrannel pipiest. tongs and bouiest doggerel of sounds I ever endured the deadlines of. that eternity of nothing was the deadliest, as far as the sound went. As for the 'Lied.' I never made out where it began or where it ended, except by the fellow's coming off the horse block." What on amazing prodigy, by the way. Ruskin was! He recited the One Hundred and Nineteenth Psalm before he was three, at seven he had written a work entitled "Harry and Luoy Concluded. Printed and Composed by a Little Boy and Also Drawn." at eight he bad turned Scott's "Monastery" into 400 lines of verse, and at eleven he wrote 2,000 lines called the "Iterlad," describing a tour in the lakes.

The Wood Pile Philosopher. Mr. Erastus Johnson, the only colored man In Wobrook-in-the-Hllls. has thought out many of the secrets of easing the toil that 'be knows best and is ever ready to impart them to others. "When they comes to me fer advice." he said to one of the campers. "I alwus tell 'em it depends on what their perfession is. If they've arrived at the dignity o sawin wood I alwus tell 'em to saw the, biggest fust. If they asks why, an they mostly does. I say. 'So's you'll only have the little sticks to saw when you gets tuckered out.' "An' I tell ye now," concluded Erastugraclously, quite as If the camper hatfr'aBked for "pointers" on a back yard job, "it's Jes' the same with pilin'. Put the big sticks to the bottom. It's mighty bilious exercise a liftin' of 'em to the top." Youth's Companion.
