MEDICAL STUDIES.
why Women should Pursue Them
such knowledge Always Avail
able.

IL seems to me peculiarly important,
says Mr.. Higginson, that woman should
have a share in these studies They Ger
tainly often have time enough. 1t takes
more time for a woman to make herself
charming than to make herself learned.
Sidney Smith says, and he thinks it a
pity that she should often hang up her
brains on the wall in poor pictures, or
watt them into the air in poor music,
when they might be better employed.
And that they have the requisite gifts
for medical study, will be plain to any
one who made the celebrated Essay by
Buckle on "the influence of women on
the progress of knowledge" and sees how
he traces some of the Leading scientific
discoveries of mOdern times, as those of
Newton and Goethe, to the exercise of
that very faculty of quick -witted com
bination which is the characteristic Of
Tomen's minds. Nay, great physician,
always preferred to have an ignorant pa
tient bring his wife with him, because he
could always get more careful observa-
tion ard quicker suggestions from the
woman. This point lies directly in the
line of medical education. This study
lies also directly in their path as pros
pective wives aud mothers, and this alone
would furnish a sufficient reason for il.
\ woman of superior gifts, who had
studied medicine, but never adopted it
as profession, told me that the mere
domestic use Of her knowledge had more
than repaid her for all tho trouble it has
cost Ior man who should thus aband
on the pursuit, it would be of compara-
lively little use, apart from the general
training; but for a woman, if she fulfils
the commoner duties of a woman's life,
this carly knowledge will always be a
source of direct strength. This applies
in degree to surgery also aud have
always wondered, in view Of the old pro.
verb that "a surgeon should have "a lion 8
heart and lady's hand, why our pro.
fessors did not oftener aim at developing
this heart, if need be, in those who have

1t is fact not generally known that
the cemetery of the Methodist Church in
Hendersorville, n. c., contains petr

Miss Adeline Byers lived with her ia

came TO them, until at an unexpected

Josiah johnson, intending to return to

that Adeline's body had been ''turned

womnn.- Needor Mental Exercise.
Frauces Power Cobbe.l

Frances Power Cobbe.l
We have heard a great deal of late of
the danger to women's health of over
mental strain or intellectual labor
don't say there is never danger in this
direction, that girls never study too much
or too early, or that the daughters of
women who have never used their brains
may not have inherited rather tender or
gans of cogitation to start with. | am
too enthusiastic for excessive book learn
ing for either women or men, though in
books read and books written | have
found some of the chief pleasures Of a
happy life. Perhaps if it were my duty
to supervise the education of girls, L
should rather be inclined to say, like the
hero of ''Locksley Hall
They shall ride and they sIall run
Leap the rainhows of the brooks,
Not with beAred eyesight poring over mis-
cradle books.
But of one thing am sure, and that
is, that for one woman whose health is
injured by excessive study Chat is by
study itself, not the baneful anxiety OF
examinations superadded to study, there
are hundreds whose health is deteriorated
by want of wholesome mental exercise
Sometimes the vacuity in the brains of
girls simply leaves them dull and spirit
less. More often into those swept and
empty chambers of their skulls enter
many small imps of evil omen. 1.-The
exercises of the intellectual powers" says
an able NJ. d.. lis the best means Of pre-
venting and counter acting an undue de-
velopment of the emotional nature. The
nf
engendered in an idle brain have much
to do with the ill-health of girls" An
other observer, an eminent teacher, says,
Il am persuaded, and my experience
has been confirmed by experienced ply
sicians, that the want of wholesome oc-
cupation lies at the root of the languid
debility, of which we hear SO much after
girls leave school" And another, the
principal of enc of the largest colleges
for women in England, adds: There is
no doubt whatever that sound study is
an eminent advantage to young women's
health; provided, of course, that the
general laws of health be attended to at
the same time"
Let women have larger interests and
nobler pursuits, and their affections will
become, not less strong and deep, but
less sickly, less craving for demonstra
tive tenderness in return, less variable
in their manifestations. Let women
have sounder mental culture, and their
emotions-so long exclusively fostered-
will return to the calmncss of health, and
we shall hear no more of the intermt-
tent, feverish spirits, the causeless de-
pressions, and all the long train of symp
toms which belong to Protean formed
hysteria aud open the way to madness or
the one side and sin on the other.

Acting Under ExciIement.

There is great fear on the part of some
amiable persons who write for the public,
lest, in certain excited movements of re
form, there should be those who will take
steps for which they will be sorry.
They argue, from this, that it is not best
to have any excitement at all, and es-
pecially that nothing should be done un-
der excitement. Itso happens, however,
that the path Of progress has always been
Wfd MaFked by sndden steps upward aRd aGd
steady going, it is true, but the tendency
to rut-making and routine are So great in
human nature that it is often only by
wide exctements that a whole commu-
nifty is lifted and forwarded to new
level. Men often get into the condition
OF pig giron. They pile up nicely in bars.
They are in an excellent state of preser-
vation. They certainly lie still, and
though there is vast capacity in them for
machinery, and cutlery, and agricultural
implements-though they contain meas
ureIess possibilities of spindles and spades
there is nothing under heaven but fire
that can develop their capacity and real
ize their possibilities
There are communities that would
never do anything but rot, except under
excitement. a community often gets
into a stolid, immObile condition, which
nothing hut & public excitement can
break up. This condition may relate to
a single subject, or to many subjects. 1t
may relate to temperance, or TO church
debt. Now it is quite possible that a
man under excitement will do the thing
that he has always known to be right
and be sorry for it or recede from it af-
terward but the excitement was the
only power that would ever have started
him en- the right path, or led him to stop
III the wrong one. 1t is all very well to
say that it would be great deal better
for a drunkard, coolly, after quiet de-
liberation and rational decision, to re
solve to forsake his cups than to take the
same steps under the stimulus of social
excitement and the persuasions of com
panionship and fervid oratory, but does
/ he ever do it? Sometimes, possibly, but
| not often. Without excitement and a
great social movement, very little of tenn
perance reform has ever been effected.
Men are like iron-to be moulded they
must be heated-and to say that there
should be no excitement connected with
a great reform, or that reform is never
to be effected through excitement, is to
ignore the basilar facts of human nature
and hnman history. Holland
