A Lady Master OF Arts.
York Evening Post.

For the first time in England lady
has attained the degree of Master of
Arts. Miss Mary Clara Dawes passed
her matrlculation examination in jan
uary, 1879, aaining the thirty-seventh
place in the Honors Division. Last
year, at the b. A. examination, having
obtained a place in the first division at
the pass examination, she gained also
honors in classics, with the first place in
the second class At the examination
Just concluded she is placed fourth in
the list of Masters of Arts of the year
who have taken the degree in the first
branch of examination that is in clas-
sizes with ancient and modern history.
The two other branches are mathematics
with natural philosophy, and mental
and moral philosophy with political
economy, although the ladies have as
yet only one NJ. A., fifty of them have
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
three that of Bachelor of Medicine, and
eight the degree Of Bachelor of Science.
No lady has vet attained to the doctor
ate. The ladies who have passed the
matriculation examination amount al
ready to several hundreds.

Kate Fields Peril.
Chicago News.

Miss Kate Field hurried through Chi
cago at a great rate. II was given out
that she would remain here fortnight,
and her friends and admirers were max
ing every preparation to overwhelm her
with hattering attentions during her
stay. Contrary to all expectation she ar
rived in Chicago one day and departed
the next for New York. 1t is stated in
explanation tha' Miss Field is in constant
terror of her life. being oppressed by the
dreadful suspicion that she is shadowed
by Danites who seek her death. She
spent six months in Utah preparing a
work of the horrors of Mormonism. and
very foolishly she announced while in
Salt Lake City that the book would prove
the severest blow ever aimed at poly
gamy. From that moment till she depart
ed from Utah she was in constant receipt
of threatening letters, and when she set
ont for Denver. Governor Murray pro
vided her with two detectives as travel
ing companions. At Kansas City last
week an attempt was made to wreck the
train on which Miss Field was proceed
ing eastward. Five men are under ar
rest for the crime, and admitting that
they live in Utah they confess that the
deed was prompted by desire for Miss
Fields life. The brave young authoress
desires to get her manuscript in the
hands of publisher and then she will
feel comparatively easy.
81 am satisfied" she says, that the
Danites have sworn to kill me; / know
they are dogging me all over the country.
But don't propose to die until ! have
had my say, and after my book is in
print can at least die happy that in
vited hostility"
During her twenty-four hours sojourn
in Chicago Manager Howe of the Palm
er house had her room closely guarded
by private watchmeE, and when she left
for the east one of Pinkerton's detectives
accompanied her as far as Toledo.

Queen vict0ria's Reign.
London Standard.

On the 20tn of this month her Males
ty the Queen entered upon the forty
eighth year other reign, period that has
been exceeded by only three English SOW
er eigns-Henry ILL.,, Edward ILL.,, and
George I'LL, who reigned ffty-six, fifty
and sixty years respectively. The 18th
of this month was also the sixty-ninth
anniversary of the battle of Waterloo,
but with the exception that the cllors
of the regiments which had taken part
in the historical fight on Mount Saint
Jean We're decked with laurel, the recur-
ring date of the great victory by which
Napoleon l. received his quietus passed
by without any particular demonstration.
1t seems there is only one man living
who used to attend the famous Water
loo banquets annually given at Apsley
House by the Iron Duke. This single
survivor is Gen. J. T. Keppel. Earl of Al
bemarle, who was born in 1899, was gaz-
cited when he was under 10 years of age
to an ensigncy in the 14th Regiment Of
Foot, and few months later "he passed
unscathed through the eventful day OF
Waterloo to enter Paris at the beginning
of July, 1915, shoeless and in rags" Hun
dreds of people left their cards on this
patriarchal nobleman on the 18th, and
believe the old gentleman still enjoys
fair health.

Care Of Sick Patients.
Health and Home

To be a good nurse requires rare
combination of excellencies in the
same Observation-Disclosures, physical
strength, kind disposition, with firm
ness, light hand and feet, courage
greater than that which animates the
soldier on the battlefield, and above all i,
untiring patience. Given these, and
the nurse becomes more than half the
remedy; not only inspiring confidence
On the part of the patient, but of the
surgeon or physician also, who can rely
that his instructions will be carried out
with implicit obedience to the letter.
Such paragon, however, is rarely to
be met with, except as an emissary from
one or another of those admirable in
stitutions where ladies are trained under
skiliful management for this work; and
in vast majority of cases, an invalid is
placed in the hands of his immediate
friends and relatives, who with the best
intentions, it must be confessed, often
prejudice his comfort and retard his re-
covery by the very over anxiety that is
bred of affection.
That door has much to answer for.
If it be visible from the bed, people open
it cautiously, put their heads in, and
slowly withdraw again. Ii, as is more
frequently the case, it is screened by
the bed curtains, mvsteriou. openings
and shuttings are heard, unattended
with any apparent irgress or egress,
and sotto voce colloquies going on out

While talking to him it is better to
sit by the side of the bed and as near
the pillow as possible, so that you may
converse easily, while your face and
body are turned in the same direction
as his. By this means you can make all
necessary observations of his features
without enforcing the arrest of his eyes
to your own, which is SO embarrassing
and disagreeable to one lying in bed,
and is almost unavoidable when facing
him. Keep him in as comfortable a
position rs possible, by all means, but
don't be too demonstrative in smooth

and do him more harm than downright
neglect

The DlxxarA Dance.
Macon Telegraph.

We were on the Hueuenin plantation,
in Sumter county, modest farm of
5000 acres. The manager walked to
the end of the veranda and gave a
whoop. An answering shout was heard
and in few minutes a long line of
dusky forms came stealing through the
shadows of the pines and ranged them
selves In front of where he sat. The
song began and the musicians commen-
ced to pat. Suddenly into the centre of
the open ring leaped the table dancer
who was to personate the buzzard.
Though dancing in perfect time to the
wild but musical accompaniment, he yet
managed to initiate with marvellous ex-
actness every movement of the uncouth
bird he had chosen for his model. Its
tottering tiptoeing gait was faithfully
delineated, as were also its sudden
springs from right to left, its timid ap-
proach, its ravenous peck and sudden
retreat from the craved but dreaded
carcase, which in his honely drama, was
represented by q hat that looked indeed
~ il the buEzards had been after it.

so delicate that the farmer refused the

any one ever had before him. He at

Being pressed by his friend, the farm

had scovered, through the merest acci-

ployed TO milk the cows was woman.
"When found it out told my wife the

THE POWER or BANANA PEEL.
The Quick wit of q Little Dark-y In u
Great Emergency


A long yellow ice cart, heavily laden,
slid yesterday into the gutter in Cham
bers street near West Broadway. The
rear wheel stuck firmly against the curb.
The driver lashed his borses and swung
them around, but to no purpose. lngen-
ious philanthropists offered all kinds of
suggestions, patted the tremb ing, sweat
ing horses, and some put their shoulders
to the side Of the truck, but without
avail The off rear wheel would not
turn A bare-footed little colored boy
had watched the proceedings with a
child-like look of sympathy for the over
strained spimals. He suddenly ran
down Chambers street and returned
painting, carrying in his arms lot of
banana peels.
"Say, boss" he called to the driver,
an make yer wheel turn with these
ere, if yer'll let me put 'em down.
"All right, sonny" said the driver.
The little darkey sprang under the
wheels, and carefully laid down the
skins. He pressed some close to the
curb, where the wheel was jammed.
Then he sprang back and shouted,
Now, bo s; pull away
The crowd laughed the driver pulled
taat his lines and gave his horses lash.
The animals sprang forward, the wheel
glided along the layer of banana peels,
and the heavy wagon rolled out of the
gutter. The on-lookers cheered as it
drove away.
