Notable Nurses. ~' Miss Hughes; general-superintendent of the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute of Nurses, who is.to visit-Australia shdrtly at Lady Dudley's request, holds one of the most important. positions open to nurses in the Empire. According to a resident of Wellington, who has met lier and knows her record, Miss Hughes is a woman of great executive ability, and, indeed, her position proves that.. The Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute'is not an institution, but. the association of • district nurses for the' United Kingdom. ;It has been .in existence ! for some years, and does most valuable work among the people of. England'and Scotland. A scheme of district nursing was introduced into Ireland under Lady Dudley's rule in Dublin, and probably that accounts largely for her desire to,set a similar system going in Australia. Those who know, say that she could.-not possibly .have a better-or-ganiser for this work than Miss Hughes, who has; all the details and the methods, of the English work at her finger-tips.' A Western . Australian' nurse,' Miss Marion Hay Spa'vcn, has been appointed to the responsible position of night superintendent, of the Koyal London Ophthalmic HosDital., Nurse Spaven was trained at the Perth Public Hospital, where she was'consequently staff nurse and sister. Two other Australian nurses who are making ■ their way in' Europe are Nurse Evelyn Shaw, and Nurse- Nora R. Fletcher,- who are private nurses for the season on the-Riviera, from the.Nice Nursing Institute.. ; . ■

The appointment of the niatron-in-chief to .the'' Territorial Nursing' Service has found great, favour ■ everywhere, says an English paper. Miss Sidney Browne has a most distinguished' record. She has been in.charge of the military nurses atfive different • stations, ' and saw active service at Suakim, .when the hospitals were frequently, exposed .to attack, by the :Dervishes, and all'.through the South African War, where she presided "over two field hospitals; in. 'succession; She has the Eoyal Bed Cross.- Her new duties are no less, interesting '■ than,.responsible r-rher , instructions • are . that 6he is "responsible for the general efficiency of the' nursing service".sliould.she.be-called up. " Sister -Bessie Sinythe -is in London for. a-brief-time', says/the. 'lady's, Pictorial." This lady is not: well 'known here,.: but her. name is familiar to half acohtin-, e'ht. Tor twenty .years ,she. has carried her nursing skill and, medical know- 1 ledge into the wildest parts of South-west,. Central, and East Africa, to places where but for her many.a life would have gone 6iifr'unaided. She is, .indeed, oiie of 'tlip greatest-women, travellers -now alive, for her- experiences: in, the Dark Continent have- included, every .possible means of progression; every land of hardship, and most sorts of danger. She is, as it were, a: traveller by accident; nursing being her real occupation.' - But she leaves regret behind her, for, she is: going out to Arica, to -the new- railway-now under construe-; tion across" the Andes. .

The New Activities. A Tress Association message from. Dunedin states,.that a! special' meeting "of women,: representing. various'," women's societies, was ' hold to-day "to- nominate two -; lady candidates for' the- Hospitals Board.- Mesriames": Blair, and Gibson Turton consented to. undertake the' office, and will be-nominated. .. .
