inent among the performers is the professional

OF his bUshy beard. This ndividual, thou gh
save IN stature he is not a remarkable ..big

daylight, and Will continue 10 practice until
dark. His principal competitors, and almost
his only companions, are beginners. who come
early, 10 get n much Of their tnmbling down

tator new and astounding ideas of the number
OF ways in which the average human form can
manage to fall down, well as of the miraeu-
lous contorhons IL il capable of achieving, IN
the vain attempt To avoid assuming a horizon
tai attitude. Here is crow d gathered to wit

There is another collected around n space

WOMEN DOCTORs.-A step in advance has
been made in London. fortnight ago, the
court OF assistants of the Apothecaries' Com
pany decided that women should not be ex-
cluded from their examinations in arts; and il
is probable that this important concession will
be followed by admitting them unreservedly TO
the medical examinations. II is said this de-
cision has been mainly brought about by DR.
N. Buchanan, an influential member Of the
court OF assistants, which is the governing
body. DIR. Buchanan is also a considerable
subscriber to the funds of the female Medical
Society, and he Is a member of select commit
tee recently formed " TO promote the develop
ment Of the Ladies Medical College on a sound
public basis" The college has now been in
successful operation for four years. 1t has al
ready become self-supporting, and has among
its list OF subscribers and friends the names of
the Duke and Duchess of Argyll: Mrs. Glad
stone, Lord HOughton, Archbishop Manning
the Earl OF Shaftesburg, and Others.
