Requisites for a Physician.

To be asuccessful physician woman
must be lady, womanly woman.
No aping of masculine habits, dress or
foibles will conduce to success. She
must have an affinity for the work,
feel at home in the sick-room, with a
desire and tact to relieve suffering, de-
void of any morbid sensibility at sight
of pain, offensive deformities and
CHASTITY injuries and operations. She
must be born to command, firm in pur-
pose and quick to execute, at the same
time have dignity and self-control.
Nothing must escape her observation.
She must be able to reason from cause
to effect, strong in convictions, but
slow to give an opinion. She needs a
love for scientific research, and the
ability to apply herself to study.-Dr,
Alice StOchhaan.

To-Day.


Be glad to-day, my heart; tO-morrow's sun
May never shine for you HF
The fragile thread of life may all be spun
And heavens FURNISHED blue
Bend Ger sylvan pathway winding! on
Where feathery fronds of fern
Play with the breezes, with my footsteps
gone
Whence there is no return.
o soul of mine, how often have you missed,
A blessed verify
While gazing toward the hills of amethyst
That ever fit and flee?
And lift their folded SUBMITS far away,
And farther evermore!
Up from the pasta long, glad yesterday
Come echoes, nothing more.
Strength for to-day, to bear its bliss or
Is all enough to seek,
A longed-for joy may smite the nerves to
pain
We creatures are SO weak.
The passing hours, rescued from emptiness
BY chisel brush, or pen,
Or homely toll, or tears, or mute caress,
Will bud and bloom again. ~
IT will never fade away,
Nor moth nor mildew fret, nor cark nor
a care
Too beauteous to decay.

Fashions in Dogs.

There are fashions in dogs as In every
thing else Anne of Austria loved King
Charles spaniels, probably because they
were English. Madame de Sevigne
dotted on silky Maltese terriers, and
Marie Leezinska lost the affection of
her royal husband through her infatua-
tion of her lap-dogs. Pugs were the
great delight of Marie Antoinette and
her ladies, and greyhounds were the
pets during the Restoration. Scotch
collies, toy terriers, and pugs are all in
favor at the present time, and there
are signs that the Blenheim spaniel will
be the pet of the future.

Chinese Women.

Some important facts about Chinese
women are given by the Rev. w. S.
Swanson, missionary of the English
Presbyterian at Annoy, China. He
thinks that in that country women are
a greater power than in any other
Eastern land. He speaks of their
sturdy, strong, pithy character, such as
makes them the real backbone of China.
They are terribly oppressed, yet not
tamely submissive, but rather resisting
and reforming. Many of them have
entered into league, says Mr..
Swanson, against the practice of foot
binding, pledging themselves not to
practice it, and further, to marry their
sons only to women whose feet were
never bound. Nomor difficult reform
could have been undertaken.

Female Gymnasts.

The rage for physical development
among young women is increasing. A
New York letter asserts:
Glasses are forming in gymnasiums
where young ladies and girls are taught,
and also small clubs which receive in
structions in private houses. One of
the latest phases of this mania is an
Unsuitable desire on the part of many
young ladies to learn fencing. 1t has
become fashionable accomplishment
in Europe, which is quite enough to
make girls here ambitious to acquireit.
Last year there were only few classes,
and they were small. This year there
will be scores of young women poking
swords at each other. One of the best
known gymnasiums in the city is
within a stones throw of the Windsor
hotel. The young ladies who go there
for instruction and. practice have little
retiring rooms similar to bath houses.
When they emerge they havea costume
consisting of basque or jacket and
trousers. The agility, grace, and skill
they show at the various exercises is
astonishing. They are quicker to learn
than boys, am told, and much more
graceful at everything they undertake.
At first they are made to make certain
movements with their fingers, hands,
and arms; then they are taught to
swing dumb bells and clubs, keeping
time to music. AS the average young
lady does not straighten out her arms
properly when in the first stages of her
training, the wooden dumb bells have
little brass bells on them that jingle
when the movements are made with
proper force. One of the exercises
they are put through is that of march
ing with sticks for guns. They like
this very much, and carry their heads
with jaunty air. What young chap
is there that would not pay good fee
at the door to see them going through
evolutions? But the professor rigor-
ously excludes spectators. The adj
vanced classes are required to practice
on the horisontal bar. Beginners at
this exercise have great difficulty in
swinging their feet over, but some of
the persevering ones go through great
variety of movements with the grace of
an acrobat. Swinging in rings sus-
pended on long ropes is favorite ex-
ercise. In one corner of the room there
are several poles in an upright position
and others inclined at an angle. 1t is
almort incredible, but nevertheless a
fact, that young women will spend
hours climbing those poles. The most
popular exercise is that of mounting
and vaulting over wooden horse.
They make rush at this and spring
into a wooden saddle, and after much
practice they go over almost without
touching. The private classes usually
meet in garret so many times week
for lessons and practice. When a
young lady who has the physical devel-
opment craze is detained at home by
rainy day she goes up to the garret and
davalnps her mnscla

SELFISH JOHN CLARK.

The meeting was good one in spite
of the intense heat, and that there was
more singing done by mosquitoes than
by the human species. aH
John Clark sat by an open window,
where what breeze there was came in
and kept him comparatively comfort
able, and then he had on clean linen
suit which his wife had washed and
ironed that day, Notwithstanding the
mercury mounted high in the nineties,
and its freshness was an additional
comfort.
His first crop of hay, much larger
than usual, had that day been put in
his spacious barns without damage by
so much as drop of rain. He was
well, strong, prosperous, therefore
happy.
The ride home was charming, and as
the new horse took them Through
Cairnley woods, with sure, fleet feet,
he felt that that life was very bright
and, as he thought Of Brother Whites
remarks about "weary burdens" fleet
tired with the march of life," he con-
cluded that the aforesaid brother was
not in the enjoyment Of religion.
Johns wife sat back in the carriage,
resting her tired body and turning over
in her mind the remarks her John had
made at the meeting. "Bear ye one
another's burdens" had been the SUBJ
ject of the evenings talk, and Johns
speech had been listened to with evil
dent relish.
"Your husband has the root Of the
matter in him." said the pastor as she
passed out. II hope we shall all take
heed to his well-timed words"
II think of hiring Tom Birch as a
sort of spare hand and call-boy gener-
ally. 1 find this hot weather takes the
starch out of me-" John said, as the
horse trotted through the cool pine
grove, amid flickers of moonlight.
"Will you board him?'' asked Mary
Clark in a constrained voice, with the
memory of her husbands exhortations
still in mind.
"Of course. want him evenings to
take the horse when we come from
meeting, or if have taken friend
out. 1t is rather hard to have to go to
work directly one gets home"
"You are to hire him to bear some
of your burdens" said Mary, in the
same hard voice.
"Just so, wife. 1t stands me in
hand to practice, if I preach don't
you say SOP"
81 do! I am glad you are to have
help; as you say, it is hard to 60 to
work the minute you get home. l have
been foolish enough to have this ride
spoiled by thinking of bread to mix,
two baskets of clothes to fold before
sleep, for the ironing tomorrow, and
dinner to get for four hungry men, and
baby to care for
Don't crowd to-morrow's burdens
into this pleasant ride. And it seems
to me that it would be better to get all
your housework done before meeting
time"
IF l could, but that is impossible;
milk to strain, dishes to wash, Benny
and baby to put to bed-all these duties
come together, and then 1 am tired
enough to go to bed myself"
"Take it easy, Mary; keep cool, avoid
all the hot work you can."

Tne Little Butter COW at Home.

The Island Of Jersey is small. If it was
square it would be six and three-quarters
miles on each side. However this little piece
of land sufices to keep 12. 900 head of cattle
that is to say, in round numbers, supports
one animal to each two acres of its Terri
torv. this including rocks, roads, barren land
and the building lots necessary for the hous-
inc az go. 600 inhabitants. And it has been
so for twenty years at least. Indeed the
census of 1861 gives IL, OBJ as the number Of
cattle on the Island Of Jersey. What is still
more remarkable, it exports each year 1000
head. the average expectation, according to
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1882-04-12

custom house reports, being 2,049 for the
last eighteen years-or nearly one head for
each ten acres, Now the total number of
cattle in England gives only one for ten
acres it follows, then, that in proportion to
its extent, the Island of Jersey exports each
year more cattle than England contains. In
other words if England should export at the
same rate, all Of her cattle would be gone
in a single year, and she wonld not have a
single hoof left. The system which permits
the Island of Jersey to attain this result de-
serves to be studied above all at this time,
when the English farmer knows not what
to do, his sheet-anchors, the culture OF
wheat, leaving him to drift upon the rocks.
But another result, not less striking than the
keeping of cattle at the. Jersey, is the race
Of cattle that it has produced. AT present
it is the custom in England to consider the
Jerseys the %pampered ~favorites of fortune,
playthings for the rich, diamonds to orna-
ment the lawn, giving a small quantity Of
very rich milk, cream and butter for those
who are rich enough to afford this extrava-
gance. That they are small! we admit beau
tiful we concede but why should they not
be small ? And why not beautiful Is the
shepherd dog less bold, less useful, or less
suited to its special work because it is not a
mastiff ? The ability to do the work required
is the thing sought for the rest is only
fashion and tinsel. The work of the Jersey
is to convert grass and roots into butter, and
not into beef. She is not raised to be eaten,
she has more value as a machine to produce
butter. Then why should she be larger
And far from being a luxury for the rich
man. she is, more than any other race, a de-
~pendence of the poor, the best aid of small
farmer. This is very easily and simply
proved by the experience of the Island of
Jersey. We have seen that they keep the
49, 900 bead of cattle on six miles square,
there where the rent averages SO pounds an
acre there where the farms are smaller
than anywhere else there where each farm
er works with his hands, and its face to face
with the wolf that he needs must keep from

GATH ON DUNNELL.

Gath, a writer of renown, has this
to say of Dunnell:
Yonder is a man named Dunnell,
from Minnesota, who lived and re-
ceived honor in the State of Maine
till the close of the war, when he
removed to the Northwest. He is II
six-footer, with huge, broad shout
ders, and loud speaker, with ideas
of the senate and of various things.
Beginning school-teacher, he went
to the war as colonel to start with,
and in one year had been promoted
as United States consul at Vera Cruz.
He has been six times sent to con.
gress from the new State he distin.
cuisines: and the anecdote Is current
of him that when the resolution
passed congress to give all the men,
bers back pay, he, who had been
waiting for years to build himself a
house, telegraphed home begin to
haul sand at once" The sand was
hauled and the house started, but the
back.pay was reconsidered, and then
the terrible message flashed over the
wires: Haul no more sand !" Thus
the expression so current
In the Northwest: Hes got plenty
of sand into him."
