The Educational Requirements Of
Physicians i'm Virginia.

TO the Editor OF the Dispatch
1t Is perhaps not generally known that
Virginia is one OF the few states in the
Union which permits any one TO practice
medicine within her borders without I'M
dergoing preliminary examination, or
furnishing satisfactory proof that he OF
she has received a medical education. But
such Is the ease. No education, whether
medical or general, Is required; il Is not
even necessary that the applicant for prac-
tice shall be able TO read and write, and
there are some so-called physicians In the
State who can hardly write their own
names.
In the States OF North Carolina and West
Virginia they have very stringent laws with
reference to the qualifications OF physi
clans, and l am informed that applicants
frequently fail TO pass the required eXamna
ton, and then some at least OF those re
iected have come 10 Virginia TO settle
Surely "these things ought not so TO be. :
1t cannot be expected that the qualifica
tons OF physician could De Judged b,
any but members OF the medical profession
and IT is eminently desirable that our law
makers should take some steps looking to

medical examining board before whicl

lice OF medicine in Virginia hereafter shal

ton. Yours, &c.

Water.Tax Oh Schools.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The gas question interests a great many
people. but there is another that affects d
small portion OF the community.
BY an ordinance passed in January OF
last year teachers Of day-schOols are now
required to pay s. In addition to the usual
rates. By glancing at the "rules it Is
seen that for the use OF hose fol
sprinkling yard, sidewalk, or garden S4.5l
is charged; for the street, SO. suppose
that more water is empticd in front u q
gentleman's house in one afternoon than Is
used in month in any one OF most OF ON
schools, numbering. rs many do. between
twenty and thirty pupils. In calling at
tention to the disproportion of these rates,
it is not my wish to urge an increase fol
those who sprinkle, but only that our City
Fathers will relieve us entirely OF the taN
that falls heavily upon us.
Remember that there is no extra waste
at our schools. The gallon or 50 used
daily in each is only what the children dc
not use at home during those hours, and
the parents pay their water bills.

and rubieS sunk in the metal in any

skill and careful study OF detail are ne
cessary to properly finish this apparently
unfinished jewelry. Eastern designs and
tropical flowers half IN inch in size are
chosen for patterns TO some new Orna-
ments. The pOmegranate Hover. with
dark enameled leave, and a magnificent
yellow diamond in the centre, Is one pat
tern for handsome pin. Ladies' pins con-
tinue TO be chosen In long, slender lace
pin style. A LONG POmpeian vase, in I'M
finished cold. with diamond and rubies
sunk in II, l. one pattern. When gold
earrings are worn they are III small-sized
bali shape, fastened close 10 the ear, or in
large hoop stvle. Bracelets are now pre-
ferred in pliabe linked style. Two brace
lets are generally chosen. IN different size
and style. one bracelet may be in plain,
linked squares OF Etruscan gold. while the
other bracelet is composed OF squares Of
yellowish gold sci with turquoise. All
jewels are now sunk in the gold in gypsy
style.
An exquisite necklace, copied from one
owned by Catharine OF Medici, Is shown In
old Venetian enamel, set with long pearls
and ending IN a miniature OF the Queen in
the full ruff and curved necklace OF her
time. A remarkable necklace recently
made consisted OF twenty-one exquisite
chrysoberyls, which ranged in size from
two to twenty carats each. These hand
some stones shaded in color from a rich
yellow 10 brownsh-vellow and brownisb-
green, tint like raw sienna running
through all OF them. They were mounted
In rich Etruscan gold.
The chrysoberyl ranks next among gems
TO the sapphire in hardness, and is clear
stone like the sapphire. There are semi
opaque varieties OF chrysoberyls, which
are known as eats eyes, aud variety OF
the sapphire and precious ruby is found
with an eyanescent star floating in its azure
and crimson depths. The emerald is now
the accepted gem OF fashion, taking the
place OF the blue sapphire.
