The Duryea case on the oth5>r hand is typical of the generosity )f patients toward those who have jared for them long and tenderly. Thomas Caldwell, a Pensacola, Fla., recluse, left his $75,000 estate :o Miss Annie Burkhart, who nursed lim for two years. J. B. Currier, of Lowell, Mass., left a similar fortune :o Nora Hessian, who had watched jy his bedside for six years.' Sarah B. Harrison, sister of former Gov. Harrison, of Connecticut, left a $50,)00 estate to Miss Eva R. Gilker, vho had been her faithful nurse for :hree years. The list could be con;inued indefinitely. Nurses who have not been remem lered in the will of their patients lave sometimes collected petty damiges against the estates of the debased. >figs Blanche V. Eytenbetz, if this city, obtained a verdict of $3,>00 against the executors of Wallace Stu&rt, for services rendered him as i nurse during his last illness, when le was a boarder in her mother's louse, and this despite the fact that tie had left her $1,000 in his will. She did not think it enough and the iury agreed with her. Men marry their nurses so freluently that the instances -are beyond all counting. A curious case was thai of Ralph J. Voorhees, nephew of a Brooklyn politician. He married Adele F. Goufton, who nursed him through typhoid fever after tie had become engaged to Miss Faith E. Moore. Miss Moore visited him regularly at the hospital, but the charms of Miss Goufton were too strong for Voorhees, and they were wedded secretly. Then Miss Moore, whose father, David F. Moore, was formerly superintendent of buildings in Brooklyn, sued Voorhees for $20,000 damages for alleged breach of oromise. Charles E. Halliwell, formerly first rice president of the American Tobacco comapny, married Miss Ruth Alice Cole, who had been summoned to aurse him in the Hotel Majestic after i severe operation in 1906. The following year he died, leaving her a fourth of his $5,000,000 estate. Lieut. J. Hammond Harding, son cf Philip W.

John Coates Brown, of Philadelphia, vice president of the Episcopal hospital ther and one of the Quaker City's wealthy citizens, fell in love with Miss Emily Payne, a nurse in the Pennsylvania hospital, and mar ried her. They met when he was going the rounds of the hospitals on an inspection tour, and though the discrepancy in their years was very great the result proved that Venus in a nurse's cap and gown is a most enticing siren. Two years ago Alcinous Young, one of Seattle's most promising men, formerly its city treasurer, married Miss Amanda Schmitz, who had nursed him in a Seattle hospital. In the same week Auguste F. Chamot, who made a fortune in China and lost it in the San Francisco earthquake, married Miss Eli^beth Dollar, who had been his nurse during the illness that followed the ruin of his fortune in 1907. And barely a month later, in October, 1909, the marriage of John E. Marselis, a Paterson merchant, reputed a millionaire, to Miss Catherine Walsh, a trained nurse who had nursed his first wife during the latter's last illness, was announced. The marriage of widowers to the nurses of their first wives is not at all uncommon, and a pertinent instance is that of Albert V. de Goicouria, father of Mrs. August Belmont, Jr., and of Mrs. W.

Because the marriage was performed by a justice of the peace instead of a clergyman the elder Heinz frowned upon it. Some tragedies have been mingled with the romance of nurses.

Shoe manufacturers claim that the American woman's 'foot is growing larger. The number two shoe is almost obsolete, they say, and sizes fonr and five are much com moner than three.' The explanation seems to be that the phenomenon is due to the increased use of the feminine foot as a means of locomotion. The constantly increasing number of women engaged in industry and golf and walking have had their inevitable result, and common sense has done much to abolish the wearing of pinching shoes. The tradition that small feet are an excellent thing in women has persisted long and will not die without a struggle. Conservatives need not fear that women will carry this matter too far; they know when to stop.?Success Magazine. Natural History.

Perkins, director of tlie agricul tural department, has resigned to accept a position with the Delta Farm company in the Mississippi Delta. Prof. Perkins will have the management of the company's 10,000-acre farm, at a salary of $5,000 and a percentage, which will more than double the salary. The company has 6,000 acres in cotfton alone. , Prof. Perkins's resignation will be effective November 1, and his departure will be a distinct loss to the college. Under his administration both the agricultural department and the college farm have made splendid progress. A man of progressive ideas, yet conservative and cautious, he has won the confidence of everybody here as to his ability, and he has already made in the two years he has been at Clemson many friends among the farmers all over the State. Another recent resignation is that of Prof. D. N. Barrow, who has given up his position as superintendent of tne extension worK ana institution aivision, which he took charge of when it was established, and which has already made such progrese and development, so that now it is one of the most potent factors in the work which the college is doing for the agricultural development of the State. %Prof. Barrow is leaving college work entirely, and will engage in commercial work in Texas, where, on account of family reasons, he finds it necessary to locate.

Chester, Oct. 12.?Ravages from the "army worms" continue unabated all over the county and the?most serious complaint of their numbers . ^ * comes from the Pleasant Grove section. A report from there says that . ' a man named Waddell went to the store to get some Paris green to kill the worms because when the sun got hot they swarmed into his house, overrunning the bed and forcing his family to leave the house. ^ The pest is causing general complaint and, together with the ravages of the caterpillar, have shortened the cotton crop in many localities. Leaves have been stripped from most of the fields of this county, and it is said that so much damage has not been noticeable from these pests in 30 years. , - A Many a girl without the slightest talent for music is running a piano who should be making bonnets or bread; many a boy is studying for a learned profession whose proper sphere is the machine shop or the mill; many a man is splitting up churches who ought to be doing good service in some institution of learning, teaching or working on a farm, and many a woman is trying in vain to be a leader' of society when she should be a model housewife in her own home.
