Show Tipping the Nurse. Curious things sometimes happen at country hospitals, especially In mining and manufacturing districts, where women will, with quite good Intention, offer a few penco to the nurso on leaving, leav-ing, and nro generally Induced to leave them In tho hospital box. "Here, sister," said ono when saying good-by, "you Just get a drink with that," and handed her two-pence. The samo, sister sis-ter had carefully nursed a lad through a dangerous Illness and operation. When nt last he walked out his mother moth-er whispered to her: "I say, sistor, this is for you; you've been very good j to him," nnd bIio offered to slip half a sovereign into the nurse's band. "You aro most kind, but I cannot tako money," replied tho sister. "Won't you put it In the box?" "No, I'm hanged If I will," fiercely cried tho woman. "If you won't havo It the' hospital hos-pital shan't." And It Is curious that this Inability to reason beyond tho Individual In-dividual to tho Institution Is usual in that district.
