Itisapty. for the sake Of the ultimate sue
cess of women students of medicine. that the
oucstion of what "a and what is not true mod
e,ty could not be definitely sc tied. A perOdl-
cal row on the subject takes place every year OF
two IN the medical schools. This time in the
hospital connected with the Philadelphia Aims
house, the lady pupils accusing the demon
strator on a certain class OF diseases, well
known and eminent physician, OF indecency In
the language used before them and the ma
students. HIS dismissal was threatened, public
excitement in interested circles ragged high, until
II appeared from the testimony OF physicians
of both sexes that the language used was only
that absolutely necessary for clear explana-
ton OF the subject.
There is really no need of so much feeling on
this subject. A little common sense would clear
# OF all difficulties for women. Medical lee
mrers, without an exception, not being able 10
forget that women are women, have protested
AGAINST mixed clinics, declaring that they can
not speak plainly as obey should before an au-
dcnce made up of both young men and girls.
There are separate full courses of lectures open
10 women in Philadelphia WOmen's Medical
College in which the tuition and demonstration
cover the whole field. II a lady student chooses
10 20 10 clinics meant for men, because she be-
licycs them necessary for her full instruction,
she ought 10 make up her mind TO 20 as a man
would do. without any of the fastidious reserve
and aen,itivcness with which her sex approach
the subjects which she studies. That
would be all the modesty that, after assum-
ing this attitude, she can afford. If she
cannot bring her courage to this sticking
point. she should content herself with
demonstrations meant only for women.
But If she would deal with the science of medi-
cine as a man, she must give up the pleasure Of
bushing like a young maiden. The old saw
holds good in this case it IL one Of those cakes
which YOU cannot both eat aud keep.

There is q cheering prospect, at last that
steps may be taken to put the vexati0us Chinese
question at rest. The President has appointed
a commission, composed of men of high char
acter and conceded ability, which IL to visit
China, investigate all commercial questions
pending between that country and the United
States and negotiate treaty in place of that
recently submitted by Minister Seward. The
head of the commission will be President An
CELL, of Michigan University, who WAS nOmi-
mated yesterday for Minister Stewards place.
His two colleagues have been chosen not only
for their abilities, but for the schools Of opinions
which they represent, one of them being an ex-
ponent of the sentiment Of the Pacific coast
upon this question, the other a well-known
writer on international law, who has had prac-
tical diplomatic experience. These selections
have been made with admirable skill to secure
the benefit of the highest learning and the best
wisdom in the consideration Of the treaty, ut
the same time that even the most radical views
are allowed voice. A measure recommended
by such a body as this is almost certain to COM
mand the approval Of the conservative opinion
of the country. 1t Is not likely to satisfy the
extreme opponents OF Chinese immigration,
but 1t is plain on the other hand that their de-
mands are to he fully and fairly heard.

A Curious Fact.

Bands of music are borbidlen to
play on most of the large bridges of
the world, a consta mt succession
of sound waves, especially such as
come from the playing of a band, will
excite tho wires to vibration. At
first the vibrations are very slight,
but soon they will increase as the
sound waves continue to come. The
principle reason why bands are not
allowed to play when crossing
bridges-the suspension bridge at
Niagara for iusianca-is that il fol-
lowed by professions of any kind
they will keep step with the music,
and this regular-step would cause
the wires to vibrate. At suspension
btidges military companies are not
allowed to march across in regular
steps, but break ranks. The regu-
lar trotting gait of large dog
across a suspension bridge is more
dangerous to the bridge than q
heavily-loaded wagon drawn by q
team of large horses.
