Hint to Uncraccful walkers.

An English lady, an acquaintance OF
II. Ingres, the well-known French
writer, had a most awkward gait. The
gentleman recommended her daily to
take a long walk, balancing meanwhile
on her head pitcher of water. This,
he said, would give the true poise to
the figure and necessitate the upright
carriage of the head and smooth, firm

Tho rrHsterIous Glove.

Not SO with a woman. She has the
least bit of a glove, and in that glove
she carries the tiniest hand and a wad

tickets and matinee checks and maybe
a diminutive powder-bag. We have no
idea how she does it-how she manages
to squeeze those 1,0O1 things into
that wee space. But she does it
every time, and the glove never looks
the least discomposed or pIethoric or
rufied. And when a woman wants any
article concealed about that glove she
doesn't seem to have the least trouble
in the world getting at it. All that is
required is simple turn of the wrist,
the disappearance of two fairy fingers,
and the desired article is brought to

Women as PhvsloIans.

No observant person can fail to adj
NIT that all the larger cities of America
contain many female practition ers, who,
despite their general lack of attainments
and proper qualifications for the pro-
fessiOn of medicine, are on the average
as well patronized as those of the other
sex. We have reached that absurd
stage-and the sooner we recognize it
the better-when the burning question
is no longer, "Shau women be allowed
to practice medicine?" They are prac-
ticing it, not by ones or twos, but by
hundreds; and the only problem now
is, Shall we give them opportunities for
studying medicine before they avail
themselves of the aIready-acquired
right of practicing it? It is clearly the
interest of the community to give to
women the fullest instruction in &C
cordance with the most-approved sys-
TENS and under the most eminent
teachers; and also that their proficiency
should be tested by the most rigid or
deals before they finally receive certif-
Gates. By q recognition of these GER
tifcates and their comparative values
the community would be able to pro-
tect itself from the impositions of igno-
rant or fraudulent pretenders to medi-

Woman. Past end Present.

In a readable article in the Nine
tenth Century, DR.. Donaldson pub
ished an able article on "The Position
of Women in Ancient Athens, in which
is clearly portrayed the limited life
which was the only one possible to
women at that period. A fine contrast
could be afforded by placing in iUxta-
position an account of "The Position of
Women in Modern America" Not to
touch SO comprehensive a subject in
detail, there is yet room, in noting the
progress of even the last decade, to note
marvellous changes. Now in just that
proportion as q woman demonstrates
her ability to perform any work the
gates are thrown open to her. The fire
of her own inspiration burns all bar
riers away. There is no barrier to prog
ress, except incapacity. No line of
work is impossible for woman to take,
if she takes it in a womanly way.
Whatever place she goes in, whatever
facilities she employs, if in the line OF
her legitimate work, and quietly as
sumed in an unobtrusive but efeetual
manner, it viii be as quietly granted,
and there is no friction or trial about
it. When women fully believe that
true refinement and delicacy are not
incompatible with independence and
strength, then will the type of the inter
esting invalid, the fragile, clinging
creature who is $50 timid," die out, and
WO shall have truly womanIy women.

Analysis Of Two Ancient Samples OF
Rufter

G. w. Wigner and A. Church have
examined a sample of Irish bog-butter
which can not be traced with any GER
tainty to a particular locality. There is
no doubt, however, that it is q perfectly
authentic specimen, probably thousand
years old. The following results were
obtaincd:
Volatile fatty acids, calculated as
butyric, g per cent; soluble fatty acids
not volatile, 40 per cent. insolubie fixed
fatty acids, 80. AZ per cent; glycerol. mi
mute traces. The insoluble fatty acids
contain 8 per cent. oleic acid and 91 per
cent. stearic and palmitic acids. The
other sample of butter, which is much
older, was taken some time ago from an
Egyptian tomb. 1t dates from about
four hundred or six hundred years before
Christ. 1t was contained in a small ala
baster vase, and had apparently been
poured in while in melting state. In
appearance, color, smell and taste it cor
responds closely with sample of slightly
rancid butter. Analysis shows that the
sample has not undergone any notable
decomposition.

TIE choice of lubricant is frequently

TuE choice of lubricant is frequently
Il-made. Common kerosene oil is too
often injudiciously used in place of a
thicker or more bland oil, because the
heat produced 10y the friction rapidly
vaporizes the oil, and leaves the journal
dry. Crude petroleum, for the same
reason, Is fitted only for very slow re-
volving journals, such as water-wheels.
For very heavy machinery or for gearing,
tallow and black lead rubbed up together
is the best lubricant, and is also the best
for wagon and carriage axles during hot
weather. For light running machinery
sperm oil is the best; good olive oil that
has not become rancid and acid is, per-
haps, the second best, and for winter use
lard oil is excellent, but is rather too dry
to be first-class lubricant. Castor oil
is better for axles in the winter time, and
black lead with it is holp at any time.
