COLONIAL V. ENGLISH NURSES.
-WOMEN'S „AMENITY TO DISCIPLINE.
There are some interesting points in the latter of the correspondent of the British Medical Journal (writing from Cape Town), published in a Home paper, especially when he deals with the subject of nursing and raising the question of the comparative amenity to discipline of the sexes --The nursing at all the hospitals, he says, continues to be excellently performed by the R.A.M.C., assisted by a few of the Cape Medical Staff Corps, with, of course, at the general hospitals, the co-operation of the army nursing sisters. There has been a good denl of grumbling about the supposed miałąke of the authorities in not largely employing colonial female nurses at the base hospitals, and releasing R.A.M.C. people for the front Speaking purely as a civilian and a colònial practitioner, I cannot go altogether with this. It is a
to suppe that the ordi great mistake civil nurse is fit for military work. At the mary station base hospitals, owing to the large pre- ponderance of certain cases, it would obviously be impossible to employ them, while even at the general hospitals there are great difficulties in they way. Women submit far less kindly to discipline than men, and the colonial nurses. albeit many of them are most excellent women —have in most cases never been under even the same discipline as that to which their British sisters have to submit. The colonial period of probation has hitherto been only two years, and enly a limited number of women are register even under that probation. Moreover, in the Transvaal there is no official regulation of nur ses at all, and a large number of the Johannes- burg "nurses have never bad any proper training in their lives, and it is a matter of common repute (and in saying this I make no reflection on the general'body') that, to put the case mildly, only too many of the nurses from the Golden City are not so staid as the require- meats of military discipline demand... By far the better method would be to raise more bearer companies from colonial men, and leave the R.A.M.C..anore at liberty for hospital work.
HOSPITAL SHIPS.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1900.
severally the Victoria, Maude, and the Louise wards, are represented by quite a library of entertaining books, and of games which can be either played alone or by a couple of invalids. As soon, too, as a man" is "considered well en- ough to enjoy the solace of a pipe, he will have his choice between a good cigar and a first rate briar, of a pattern specially chosen by the Princess as being a favourite of her sailor son, the Duke of York.
What will Netley be after this?" many a poor fellow must murmur to himself, as he sur veys the large, airy ward, or, better will, the sunlit deck, studded with neat, active Sisters, each wearing the pretty white linen brassard on which glances, triumphant the eight-pointed cross of St. John of Jerusalem, while on the upper arm the Princess's coronet and the letter & are a modest reminder of her to whom all these good things are owing.
Life goes on very peacefully on the Princess's hospital ship. A momentary excitement is caused when a

EMPLOYMENT OF RETIRED SOLDIERS ON RAILWAYS.
A memorial has been sent in to the Govern ment of India by the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants in this country on the subject of the employment of discharged soldiers on railways. They have learnt, says the memorial, with feelings akin to dismay, that the Govern. ment has thought it necessary to call upon. Agents and Managers of Railways to furnish their views on the desirability of establishing a scheme for training soldiers as station-masters, drivers, firemen, guards, and the like, with a view to forming a reserve of men instructed in railway work, whose services might be available in case of emergency. The me morialists admit that they are not aware what class of emergencies is referred to, and that, says a contemporary, is the weakest point in their representation. Government knows, and we cannot help feeling that the Society has become needlessly alarmed. They should have addressed the Agents and Managers rather than Government, and have shown them the light in which the movement is regarded by the Amalgamated Society. In view of the increased strength of the Army, and the desir
as to obviate the necessity for conscription. employment for discharged, soldiers must be secured. If unskilled men cannot succeed as stalian jnasters and engine-drivers, they can as guards, firemen and signallers,. However, the Society is strongly opposed to interference of any sort with what it has come to regard as the vested interests of the present railway servants, and is ready to demonstrate to Government that no change of the sort proposed is desir able.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR OUR WOUNDED. The nation owes a good deal more than it realises to the Prince and Princess of Wales. His Royal Highness retains delightful memories of certain cruises made by him on board one of the Royal yachts, during the weeks which inability of making it as attractive as possible, so
nediately followed the accident to his knee joint and both he and the Princess ascribe his complete recovery greatly to the fact that the long period of emvalescence was spent on board ship, one of the Royal yachts having been con verted, for the nonce, into a delightful floating❘ hospital.
It is a touching fact, and one which well illustrates the beautiful nature of the Princess, that every one of the appliances,
COSTLY OR THE REVERSE, found to be of use to the Prince, 'was included in the elaborate fitting of her hospital ship the s. 5. Princess of Wales; and this although of the whole accommodation only two per cent.

It is easy to imagine the penned under such conditions, often, no doubt, with the help of one of the devoted group of nurses who form not the least attractive feature of the Princess's ship.

Those old-fashioned people who are apt to

ELECTRICAL INVENTION. Never has water-power been haraessed to more purpose. In addition to the usual electric lamps and globes, with which by this time all the world has become familiar, each ward is embellished by a dainty cooking stove, which, by the help of electricity, can tum out in a few moments boiling water, arrowroot or beef-ten.
The whole of the laundry work on board ship is also got through in a miraculously short space of time by the same potent agent; and thanks to its aid, every nurse, however rough or sultry the weather, can always appear spotlessly arrayed in cotton frock and white cap and aproni, as if she were preparing to appear at the nurses garden party at Marlbor. ough House. What a change from the laundry experiments made by the gallant group of Army went through Zulu War of 1878! Then she only way in which caps
and
aprons could be " got up" was
to stretch them between large.stones on which the natives were put to sit in rows.
Again, electricity is being used to, good purpose in what is, perhaps, the most char ácteristic section of this wonderful Palace of Pain, that is, the operating chamber. It is on the lower deck amidships, and its most interest ing feature to most people is, undoubtedly, the' admirable
