Women rs Druggists.

Six ladies have distinguished them
selves as students in the South Lon
don College ofChemistry, where they
have been studying with a view to
pass the examinations Of the Phar
maceutical Society. They mean to
begin life as druggists, and we be
heve they are the first women who
have been trained in a public school
for the business Of pharmacy. They
will assuredly deserve credit for their
enterprise, for if they succeed they
viii have done good service in widen
ing the area of possible employment
for women. 1t has often, Aeen, matter
for surprise that ladies did not select
pharmacy as a fair field for the eXer-
else of their talents, in winning an
honorable livelihood. The trade is a
profitable one: in fact, the old saying
i'm the country used to be that the
druggists shop was the only one in
the village where every shilling taken
in the till earned II pence for the
master. The work of preparing and
compromising medicines is also neat
and delicate indeed, the Americans
have almost elevated pharmacy to the
dignity of fine art in these later
days. 1t is light, and can not by
any pretense be called 'unwo manly
so that there ought to be no social
prejudice against it. The only posi-
Bile objection towomen as pharmacists
would rest on their implied inability
to acquire the scientific knowledge
necessary for sale practice. But that
objection the six lady students who
have stood so well in their classes at
the South London School Of Chemis.
try have personally disproved; be-
sides, it is not necessary to license any
woman as a druggist unless she has
the requisite scientific qualifications.
In these days, when people suffer as
much anxiety about the employment
of their girls as of their boys, the dis
coverer of a new occupation for WON
en- is a public benefactor.

Frozen Meat.

Meat is now frozen in Sydney and
sent in refrigerated chambers by steam
ers to London. The hulk RIGA Geneva
is fitted up with the freezing appara-
tus in Darling Harbor, and can ac-
comlnodate the earcasses of 10000
sheep or 1000 bullocks. The cold is
produced by COMPRISING air, cooling
it, then permitting it to suddenly ex-

seventy-two degrees below zero is OBJ

is then let into the freezing chamber

to the freezing rooms of the Orient
steamers and conveyed to England at

Two uIaImants TO Ono Bride,s DEC.

San Francisco Chronicle, October 18th
On the 4th of last August Miss
Mamie Welsh, now Mrs. Mamie
Wheaton, bought seventeen yards of
plum-colored, silk, of which to con
struct bridal robe. She was accom-
panied by Mis- Amelia Wilson, who
is now Mrs. Amelia Renner of No 4
Liberty street, and the two were still
together when Miss Welsh left the
material with Miss Sophia Whitehead,
of No. SIS Suffer street, to be made
up. A few days later a young wom-
an heavily yelled called for the dress,
stating that she was sent by Miss
Welsh, paid the dress makers charges
and took it away. Miss Welsh could
not understand the matter, but, like a
sensible girl, she procured another
garment and the wedding took place
at the appointed time. A few days
after Miss Wilson became Mrs. Rem
ner, and last Sunday appeared before
Mrs. Wheaton's eyes in a plum-color-
ed silk exactly like her own Mrs.
Wheaton Immediately demanded an
explanation and a return Of the
dress, but was met with the cool state
ment that the dress had been made
for Mrs. Renner by a dress-maker on
Sixth street. Mrs. Wheaton obtained
her property on a search warrant
and the case came up before Judge
Webb yesterday morning. Both
women swore positively to the owner
ship of the dress, and for Mrs. Whea-
ton Miss Whitehead identified her
work on the garment. Mrs. Renner's
sister swore to her sister having the
dress made on Sixth street, and after
ward Mifs Whitehead swore that she
believed from her walk and general
appearance that Miss Wilson, the
brides sister, was the yelled woman
who called for the dress. The evidence
generally was so contradictory that

Practical Effects of Land Draira.,

Tests of soil temperatures with
the thermometer have shown in Soma
cases ten to fifteen degrees higher
temperature in thoroughly tile drain.
ed than in undrained land. Some one
has said that the thorough thing of
ground is equivalent to moving it 1850
miles further south In recent visit
to the Champaign Sugar Company's
works, the writer noticed that the
leaves ON the cane being hauled to the
factory were perfectly green, showing
that it had been untouched by frost
and was informed by Prof. Weber that
none of the cane grown on tile drain
ed Land showed sign of frost, while
all of that on undrained land had been
more or less cut, some of it so badly
as to unfit it for sugar making, and It
viii have to be worked into syrup.
The explanation is this: The high
er temperature of the tile drained soil
enabled it to radiate a sufficient
amount of heat that prevented the
atmosphere reaching the freezing
point and so the crop was saved from
damage. In going to and returning
from Champaign on the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, fields of corn were no
ticed yet green, or but slightly touch
ed by frost while others adjacent and
at the same elevation were badly cut.
The former were evidently on drained
and the latter on undrained land
There is no question but the crop ON
thoroughly drained land, taking into
account the earlier start that can be
given it, its more rapid growth and
comparative safety from late spring
and early fall frosts has from two to
four weeks in its favor over that on
undrained soil, and this often makes
full paying crop in one case or a
partial or entire failure in the other
An intelligent tenant farmer some
sixty miles south of Chicago, who has
long lease, or can occupy the farm
as long as he chooses, has found the
profits resulting from thing SO great
that he lays at his own expense the
tile delivered at the nearest station
by his landlord, and the whole farm
is being tiled in this manner the land
lord furnishing the tile and the tenant
hauling it from the railroad and lay

this as renter, it will certainly pay

When 10 Gut Wood.

IL correspondent of an eastern
journal says " For strength, beauty
and durability, I have found August,
September and October the best, and
March and April the worst months to
cut wood. A red maple cut in Sep
tember will keep in round log per
fectly while one cut in March will be-
gin TO blacken and decay by the mid
die or last of June. This is not copied
from any scientific work, but is found
to be a fact by many practical
tests. Gray birch cut in Sep
TENDER will keep in good
condition until the next Septem-
ber if left in the woods cut in four
feet lengths; while, if cut in March
and left in the same way, it viii be
left nearly worthless by the list of Au-
gust; at least such is the result on my
land. White pine, like the red maple,
keeps white much longer if cut in
September than if cut in March, and
is not injured by the worms as much.
| have found that wood dried slowly
in low, cool place is better than dried
quickly in the hot sun, even though
cut in summer May this not, in
measure, account for wood being bet
ter cut in autumn, it having the long,
cold winter to dry in?
