WOMEN AND MBDIOIEB.

We noticed in the initial lecture
the medical school in this city, that
when speaking Of fretful aud disagreea-
bic patients, the lecturer invariably
used the prououns "she" or "her," thus
implying what every woman, whether
she has ever seen medical book or not,
knows to be contrary 10 fact, that sick
women are more ira-cible than sick
men. The truth is that no class Of per
sons are quite so greatly humbugged as
are sick women. Often obliged TO
submit TO be exFerimeuted upon by "a
young practitioner whose only claims 20
medical knowledge exist ia the osten-
tatious ". D. that he tacks on to his
name, with no more conception Of OF
consideration for a woman's peculiar
suiierings than the ignorant boor who
thinks that nothing can be severe which
nature orders, it is little cause for won
der il she becomes fretful through suf-
feriug and ignorant mismanagement.

TIE NEW YEAR.

Heralded by anticipated social enjoy
ments, and attended by the joyous cou-
summation Of the same, New Years day.
1879, was ushered upon the shores OF
time, quietly counted its brief span, and
receded to It's appointed place beside the
boary centuries. The week Of HOLIDAYS
ended as the last step in its quiet march
was taken, and to-day We stand face to
face with a new year Of uutried possi-
bilities, stand, our armor girded on for
the contest, that experience tells US is
sheathed in the days Of the on-coming
year to be evolved and met, perhaps in
tears, sorrows and defeat Of cherished
plans mayhap in smiles that wait upon
victory. Cordial New Years greetings
go out from the NEW NORTHWEST
Office to this journals many friends, and
may the bright anticipatious OF each be
turned to glad realities as the year rolls
on, and their sorrows, if any are rising
in their way, prove impalpable shadows
that flee with the first appearance Of
dawn.

Shakspeare's Women.

The ladies composing the sixth
Congress Of Women" that held re-
cent session in Providence, r. l., are
by a journal Of that city compared to
"ShakspeaTe's Women" IN the follow
ing just and complimentary terms:
During three days Of tbe past week
some of them trod that stage. Have
they not touched Us 10 finer issues"
Of thought aud feeling?
For POrtia came, with no self-seek-
ing IN her great heart, with 80 little
prejudice in her clear brain that II
certainly was not di-coverable by the
most critical auditor.
The master-poet knew, three humid
red years ago, how 90 draw the por-
traits Of women, good aud evil. There
the world has learned TO rekindle It's
faith in the ideal; there, too, % has
studied the dangers that beset the
nature Of woman and Of man.
The types are perpetual; else Shaks-
p-are would scarcely have copied them.
The women can ALWAYS De found, o. tle
search be long enough.
We are simply remarking that Por-
tia's sweet eloqueuce iu behalf Of JUS
tice, lsabellais deep wisdom, and Rosa
lind's graceful vii, fell freely upon our
ears.
One had the pleasant consciousness
that these ladies were not masquerad-
ing, but that out Of the fullness Of their
hearts, of their experience, Of their in
sight, they were speaking precious
words Of counsel.
OF course Shakespeare did not define
i'm detail the tasks 10 which his women
would be called, ~ she cent turtles should
unfold; bat with firm aud delicate hand
he showed the capabilities tnat they
possess
Portia, indeed, never read paper
upon "Dressn before any Congress that
We know Of, nor did She in her youth
discover a comet. Shakespeare does not
predict that after her head should be
brilliant with crown of silver hair.
she would delight large assembly bv
reconnting her experience in watching
an eclipse through telescope. But
had Portia's training aud surroundings
been different, she would have been
very likely 10 do one of these things.
As for Rnsaiind and Beatrice, theirs
j. the wit that again aud again
charms our panied steps over the
burning marl.n

And the heart of Cordelia, thank

bned influence OF these gifts and gruces.

To enable person 10 Immediately don
all the virtues and doff all the faults Of
womankind; but when we consider the
general tone of the sixth Congress Of
Women, we surely have cause for sat
lsiaction IN the widening opportunities
which the PoTtias of every century find
IN the wise and generous purposes
which they make those opportunities
subserve.

A cotemporary, speaking of secret So

The most ancient order OF societies which
exists to-day is gaining strength in every land:

THE WEATHER.

The weather during the past week has
been perfectly delightful, and if unap-
preciated, is because the average web
foot can appreciate nothing but rain.
The days are clear and bright with
golden sunshine, aud the nights clear
and glistening in crystal frost. No snow
has yet fallen, nor have sharp winds pre-
vailed. The sidewalks are as dry as in
June. and the streets and country roads
are smooth aud solid. Every one who
has a good supply Of wood in the shed,
flour in the pantry and apples and pota-
toes in the cellar can afford to be happy.
He must indeed be a hopelessly chronic
grumbler who finds fault with Oregon
climate now.

FOUL AIR.

This is the season of the year when
persons, women especially, sit for hours
together, in illyventilated rooms, heated
to fever glow by red-hot stoves, those
seductive vampires that suck the life
giving principles from the air. load it
with uoxious gases, aud supplant the
roses Of health upon thousands of cheeks
by the lilies of death. la view of this
II 10 well TO give attention to the vital
question Of procuring proper ventilation
in our sitting-rooms and bed-chambers.
Women sulier from impure air more
than men do because OF their iu-
activity indoors, especially during cold
spell OF weather, as their paling cheeks
weak nerves, loss Of appetite and general
debility prove. The strong man, a very
king among men when la health, Is q
pauper, dependent upon the tender
mercies Of others, when sickness over
takes him, aud "a woman, at best not
strong, when enervated by a sedentary
life in a close room, il even worse, a crea-
ture too feeble to excite even vigorous
emotion Of pity. \ writer ia a Chicago
Journal proposes 10 Prof Edison 10 in-
vent a "foul air barometer" that would
be as sensitive To the action OF carbonic
acid as the substance OF plate in the tel
ephoue is TO that of sound. That at
tached to this should be AN alarm, 20
that the moment carbon preponderated
in the air Of the room, it would sound as
in the case OF the steam alarm gauge.
and keep sounding till the bad condition
was remedied. Our sitting-rooms, bed
rooms and even our churches and public
halls would be Babels of confusion,
could such a machine bs suddenly aud
without warning introduced, aud the
inmates would flock pell-melland panic
stricken into the streets, thus unwit-
tingly securing fresh air w which the faith

houses. There is notthe slightest doubt
that large proportion Of the ills that
afilict humanity are due 10 breathing
foul air, and when we add to this the
abuse Of the stomach from over eating
