SMALL BEGINNINGS.
BY CHARLES MAcKAY.


A traveller through dusty road strewed acorns
on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up and grew
into tree.

And Age was pleased in heats of noon TO bask
beneath its boughs;
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, the
the birds sweet music bore;
It stood glory in its place, blessing ever
more.
A little spring had lost its way amid the grass
and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a vel, where weary
men might turn;
He walled IL in, and hung with care a ladle at
He thought not of the deed he did, but judged
that toll might drink;
He passed again, and 10 the well, by summer
never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues and
saved life beside.
A dreamer dropped a random thought; twas
old, and yet twas new,
A simple fancy Of the brain, but strong in be
ing true.
1t shone upon a genial mind, and 10 its ligh
became
A lamp OF life, beacon ray, a monitory flame
The thought was small; its issue great;
watchfire on the hill;
1t sheds its radiance far adown, and cheers The
valley still.
A nameless man, amid a crowd that throngeC
a daily mart,
Let fall word OF hope and love, unstudied
from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown-a transitor.

WOMEN PHYSICIANS IN ENGLAND
There was little debate in Parliament,
the other day, on the status of female
doctors, who are denied admission to
the ranks of legitimate practitioners in
England. The law places the legitima-
tiOn of medical degrees in the hands of
certain bodies which have refused to
admit women. Mr.. COwper Temple Of
fered bill which admitted women to
practice on the diploma of a foreign
university. There were twelve British
young ladies studying law at Paris, and
many more in other continental schools,
and it certainly was a great hardship
that persons were debarred from an
honest livelihood by a mere techni-
cality, especially as the field for women
practitioners was great in London and
also in India, where there were 90, ,OOO,00O
women whose caste would not permit
their attendance by a man for any sick
ness. There was some pleading for
"delicacy and morality" by old doctors
in the House, but DR.. Lyon Playtair de-
clared that the profession was not op-
posed to women. The weight of Opin
ions was in favor of fair play for
women, but the government pleaded
their inability to accept such a meas
ure, from lack of time, this session.
Thereupon up rose John Bright aud
hoped that, as the House was practically
agreed, the government would consider
what a years delay meant for the
young women, and intimated pretty
plainly that where there is a will there
is way; no doubt many bills not yet
offered would be passed before the ses-
sion closed, and this ought to be among
those enacted. Mr.. Brighrs timely
little scold probably saved the bill from
neglect, and, in some measure, repairs
his recent onslaught on Woman Suf-
! frage.-SpringteLd Republican.

A New Jersey editor lost his best gold
pen and holder few days ago. After
making thorough search all over the
office, and accusing a dozen tramps of
its theft, he happened to remember
where he last placed it, and bending
down the top of his ear, discovered no
less than fourteen penholders of various
styles which be had lost during the past
two years.

UNHE GRANGER CHURN,
i A new invention,
Makes the best of butter
With the least attention.
Now all good dairymen,
Who would a reputation earn,
Should make their butter
In the Granger Churn.
1t makes more butter
From the same amount Of cream
Than any other Churn
That ever was seen.
And it makes it so yellow,
With such excellent taste,
It is the pride of the seller,
For it sells in such haste.
The grocers all want it
The butter 1 mean
To supply all their customers,
From laborer to queen.
1t will churn in five minutes,
l am happy to say,
And does not waste time
Like the Old-fashioned way.

And say they will use it
In preference to all other Churns.

at the altar of suffering humanity. DR.. SPIN

ground when you longer delay in seeking the
proper remedy toryOur complaint You may
be in the first stage; remember you are ap-
preaching the last. II you are bordering upon
the last, and suffering some or all of its ill
effects, remember that if you persist in pro-

SKEPTICIsM.-''Ma," inquired a Chi
cago boy of tender years, who was
slowly riding home on street car the
other noon, ''don't the Bible say that
the Creator made all creeping things?"
"Yes, my son." replied his mother,
with due solemnity.
The boy rode thoughtfully on a few
rods, and then suddenly exclaimed, in
doubling tones:
"Say, ma, don't believe he made
street cars"
The driver overheard the remark and
whipped up his horses into little faster
jog.

The Storm.

The storm that raised such stir In Chlca-
90 on Saturday struck Ottawa also, though
but slightly The storm came up from the
south. west, black clouds drifting rapidly over
the city, bringing night suddenly upon US and as
suddenly passing away followed by a short but
heavy rain. The wind blew terribly for few
minutes; but evidently the real power OF the
storm passed over our heads, for which we can
thank our situation in the valley. But from the
effect that the skirmshers Of the real force had
upon us, We can imagine the force Of the storm
elsewhere. The damages inflicted were not
serious but more than is customary with us,
where tornadoes are unknown. Mr.. Marsh's ice
house in the northeastern part of town was
badly demolished. The straw shed OF the
Glass Works was wrenched somewhat out OF
shape Some Of the wooden pnnaclcs OF the
First Methodist Church were blown oil, dis.
figuring the church A portion Of the front Of
Porter 4 Thompson's Agricultural Implement
Warehouse was blown off also. One of tn,
workmen was standing just in front OF the doo
when it fell, striking the ground but foot or :,
in front of him. He said the storm was yer,
sublime. but concluded suddenly "to get out o
that" Some 10 feet of Lecky's bill boards OF
la Sale st. were also fattened out. Mr.. Johl
Murray had Just passed when the board fell
