LOST HER HEAD-Every one knows, that
among all the rest Of our schools for women,
there are ample means now for woman who
seeks to become a physician to make herself
familiar with all the principles of practice
and all the secrets of medicine and surgery.
A young student who had pursued her studies
up to certain point in another city came to
Boston last winter and proceeded to visit a GER
tain diSSt citing room to which she had been
invited. Mounting the stairs she come at last
to the landing, from which opens the apart
ment where the wonders of the human frame
are, materially at least, all found out. Wait
ing to catch her breath, perhaps to catch her
courage, she OverhearS the following from the
physician In attendance upon the class:
Tit re are not enough heads to 60 round
Some of you must choose something else"
The listener turned pale and leaned against
the wall. She thought she wouldn't pay her
visit that day: She thought she would go
home and perhaps study little further and
approach the dfssecting- room little more
gradually. As she turned to carry this res olu-
ton into OBJECT, she met the janitOr of the
building, who was evidently familiar with
visitors and students in this stage and
state Of mir d, for he said encouragingly
If you'll walt minute, miss, and take
drop Of brandy youth be all right. They al
of 'em feels this way at the first start" But
miss" didn't wait that day. Chicago Tri

improvement upon an old instrument in
which was involved the undeveloped prin-

stylus to retraverse these tracings, which, in

instead of endeavOring, like Prof. Faber'S
machine, to initiate the source of sound, would
adopt for the principle OF its construction the
effects produced by sound. | say they never
dreamed of this, but left the instrument in its
crude and almost impracticable state, to be
improved and perfected by that wonderful
genius Of the present age, Mr.. Thomas A.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the phonauto-
graph or photograph simply recorded sOn0r-
Gus vibrations, whereas, Mr. Edison's ma
chine not only records, but reproduces these
same sOnOrOus vibrations. And strange to
say, he not only copies the pattern of this in,
strument but he also adopts the same name,
to express the scope of power possessed by
his instrument, which, i'm view of the fact
that it both records and reproduces sound
waves, should be called phOnographthephem
and not photograph, which is derived from
two Greek words and simply implies a re-
cOrder of sound.
Mr. Edison, in speaking of Mr.. Scott, the in
ventOr Of the photograph, said: why the
deuce didn't he think of substituting sheet
of tin foil for his carbon finn"

Not ON the Square,

Attentive spectators of the spring trotting
matches have seen that false records have been
gwen, and that m my t. offers were entered i'm
classes much slower tn that in which they
the Judges have been requested by the owners
OF fast horses to hang out slower time than
was actually made. Noble trotterS have been
held back, and horses that could have won
small purses were prevented by their drivers
from taking first money, in order that their
Time might go unrecOrded, and that hereafter
they might rake in large amounts. Notably
trotte rs entered in the three minute class came
under the wire in 2:a, and others entered i'm
the 2:45 class were close winners i'm 2:30 In
one instance the deceit was so palpa BILE that one
man. MI. Alden Goldsmith in the Judges stand
who had watched both judges and horses i'm
his Indignation, cried out: That won't do
Judges; you can't give that horse record of
who had given out the time as 2:35, at first re-
fused to correct it, but after threatening dem
onStratlonS from an angry group of horSemen
In 'front.' OF the stand, the time was finally hung
out as 2:30.
This tampering with the truth is not confined
to the vicinity of New York. 1t is the almost
universal practice from the rock bound coast
OF Maine to the slopes of the Pacific. The con
sequence Is that even at country fairs, on I'M
known tracks, honest grangers, who have
iaken pride In raising promising trOtterS, are
the prey of professional horse Sharps and in
every contest one or two of these will capture
the purses, and often leave good horses for the
class in which they are entered distanced.
III honest records were given of horses il
would narrow down the contests to trOtS of real
interest: The horses would not be harassed
and broken down in SO many useless efforts to

"A CHALK SERMON The modern fashion of
the preacher taking a singer with him into the
pulpit as helper, has been made familiar
through the examples of Moody and Sankey.
Whlpple and Bliss, Hammond and Bentley
Graves and Hillman, and other famous evan.
gellstS, working in couples, one preaching and
the other singing. But another sort of helper
Is now IN demand. On Sunday the Rev Mr..
Ferris, of BrOOklin, delivered "chak ser

sisted by Frank Beard, Esq, artist" We have
all heard about the ministry of art" and the
missionary service it ought to fulfil; here we
have them. Not long ago a sermon In New

painting done in oil. If the Methodist preacher
reinforce his sermon with chalk sketches, and
