FARTHI.sT OUTPOST

has been fairly gained. The Royal FREQ Hos
pital has been affiliated To the London School
of Medicine for Woman as = clinical school for
female students. At the beginning of tho
present session its wards were formally opened
TO the students of the School of Medicine for
Women, with the object of providing them
with the necessary hospital practice and clini-
cal instruction. Thus. with great energy and
perseverance, have women triumphed over all
the lions in the way and the manifold difficult
tics that bCsot their entrance into the medical
profession. Male students Of mat,riu medics
may we'll look to their lsures, for the mediocre
and careless among them will speedily find
themselves shelvcd and Obliged to drop out Of
the ranks into other avucatiOns requiring less
nerve and brain-power. The influence of in.
tcligent aud pure women isalways and every.
where for good, and it is to be- hoped that no
land upon which the sun shines will DO Sc
short-sighted and churlish rs 10 oppose the
progress OF female physicians.

rare trait In human character, and one
which should be incorporated among the card
inal virtues for want of more appropriate
name, may properly he called ck-ioit-ireness.
II is to this virtue alone. assisted by indomit-
able courage in surmounting obstacles pur-
posely thrown In their way, that women arc
capturing the medical outposts both ut home
ond abroad, and everywhere establishing them
selves in tho profession. One of the most ro-
markablo events in the medical history of the
past year has been the steady advance in tho
science and practice Of materia medioa
by the weaker sex. Tho exami-
nations which they have so creditably
passed In Paris, Switzerland. and several OF
the English schools were fully as severe as
those OF their male associates, and rs q rule,
even better wthstood. Tho Boylston prize
essay in this country was given to a woman,
although the sex Of the author was necessarily
unknown to the critics who awarded the
prize. Nowhere has the conquest been moro
apparent than on the conservative soil of our
mother country. Women can now acquire
full medical education in England with all tho
Facilities accorded TO male students, sud eau

profession. Mr.. Russell Gurncy's act of 1879.

What Kill.

In the school, as in the world, far more
rust out than wear out. Study is most te-
dious and wearisome ito those who study
least. Drones always have the toughest
time. Grumblers make poor scholars, and
their lessons are uniformly "hard and "too
long," The time and thought extended in
shrinking would be ample to master their
tasks. Sloth. gormandizing, and worry kill
their thousands, we're oTer-study harms

and gluttoney. By the very constitution
of our being sthey are fitted to beget that
torpor and dependency which chill the
blood, deaden the nerves, enfeeble the mus
cles, and derange the whole vital machine
ry. Fretting, fdgeting, ennui, and anxiety
are among the most common causes of dis
ease. On the other hand, high aspiration
and enthusiasm help digestion and reapira.

have for number of years been try.
ing remedies to prevent the curculio from
stinging plumbs. The remedies all failed
until tried gas tar, mixed with water and
small portion of wood ashes. The latter
were added to cause the tar and water to
mixm more readily.
This remedy has proved with me grand
success. In applying it I use a syringe
pump, such as is used for. washing windows
The mixture is applied three or four times
during the summer; the first time as soon as
the fruit begins to form. The insects com.
mence their ravages very early and contin-
ue all through the serson. After applying
the remedy above given, the fruit and
leaves are perfectly glazed. But by the
time the plumbs are ripe there is not par
ticle of taste or smell of tar.

1t is the duty of all honest citizens to
give a correct statement Of their personal

that somehow dodge and avoid taxation.

honest taxpayers watch the Assessor to see
that he does his duty, also to give him all

who dodge and avoid taxation. And when
il is necessary for him to guess at the am

Fence Post Top End Down.

A study of vegetable physirlogy led me
to try several experiments, many years
ago, to throw light upon this question.
The sap of moisture goes up in this sap
wood from the roots to the leaves of trees.
l found if the post is butt end down, the
pores are open upwards, and WAGER can go
up, and thus keep the post moist between
wind and water, which must cause rapid
decay. 1t appeared probable that the pores
were opened only upward and not down
ward in the tree. To test this, I cut a
small maple sapling, two inches through
in May, leaving the limbs all on, and plac-
ed the butt end in pail of brine. In
thirty six hours, the leaves were saturated
with brine, the taste of salt being strong.
At the same time I had cut off the top
branches, leaving the rest of the limbs.
After winding cloth around the butt-end
to prevent evaporation, l put top end in a
pail of brine, and allowed it to remain sew
eral days, but no brine had been absorbed
at the top end. 1t had not penetrated the
brine, for if the bark was scraped there was
not the slightest taste of salt to be found.
This being the case in the green tree, how
much more must the pores of the dry tree
be closed from the top end downward? I
have tried many similar experiments, and
think the question settled, that if a post is
placed top end down, no moisture can as
cend from the bottom of the hole up the
post to rot it; but when the butt end is
down, the moisture can ascend the pores
very rapidly if green, and slowly if dry
Seasoned post are found to last much lon
ger, because the pores are more or less
filled with seasoned wood. I should also
infer that placing the top end down would
make more difference in green than a
dry post. In view of the fact that pores Of
green timber had been oftener saturated
with different solutions to preserve it by
immersing the butt-end freshly cut in the
solution to be absorbed. It will also be
noted that burning or charing the posts on
ly closes the pores and prevents the absorp
ion of water Country Gentleman.

Hunted Down.
THE Chicago Times.


Saturday night woman was found on a
comparatively deserted street in Chicago
with her offspring in her arms. The wo-
man was attired in the remnants of what
once swept with magnificent rustic over
the floor or richly furnished mansion;
but the lace had been turned up against the
sky so many nights that it hadn't single
mark upon it to tell that it had ever felt
the touch of summer day. The child had
just enough ebout its tiny form to protect
from the heartless March wind that made
a pandemonium out of the surroundings
whenever there was anything it could
swing. One might have found some kind
of an excuse for the utterly homeless wo-
man if she had strangled the only thing
that existed to her TO remind her that there
was such thing as innocence! But her
mothers instinct remained. No storm ever
washes that way; no ingratitude ever har-
dens il. Several times she stopped passers
by and offered them them the child provid-
ed they would be kind to it, but her ap-
peals were in vain. At last she went down
to the river, and walked under the shad-
ows Of the naked masts that lined the
docks ghastly things in want. The night
overhead was not so cherries as to be with
out its "grove of stars" and these unwound
their silver threads until they seemed to
trail in the water and play with the lispings
of the waves. But there was nothing else
in the shadows except the church steeples
and the mansions of city, and these
were left untouched by glow of the star
light. Once the woman united the excuse
of a bonnet she wore, dnd pulled down
her hair. She pressed the treasure in her
arm, and kissed it. Then she came closer
to the water, and looked into its depths.
Whatever desperate impulse may have
seizec her at that moment it passed away,
and she turned back, coiled her hair, and
turned her face again to the streets. She
met an officer, and told him she was va
grant. He took the child in his own
arms, and led the wreck of life to the
Madiion street station. This woman has
been stripped of fortune in less than two
years by a trio of hardened wretches
She has been chased from sgarret to cellar
by men who, having ruined and robber he,
of all that she possessed, besides running
her daughter, who is at the Bridewell to-
day, have hunted her night ond day, il
order to onder to get her out of reach O.
the court before which they will shortly
appear. They have dragged her up ant
compelled her to sign oil manner of docu
ments which criminate herself. They
have used every device to steal her child
They have SO poisoned the mind of he
daughter thai she curses the poor oil
wreck of a mother whenever they meet
And now she is the most helpless and ap
parently God-forsaken creature that exist
in this city. But there is God, and jus
