WHAT WOMEN WANT.

A well-known physician, whose
practice lies in the direction of the
fashionable uptown avenues and is
largely among women, was talking
about health matters generally with
a reporter of the New York Mail
and Express the other day, when
the conversation turned upon the
ill-health of women as compared
with that of the sterner sex.
"The principal cause of woman's
ill-health," said the doctor, sis that
they ignore the old saying, Mems
Sa'aa IN co,p0re sanO.' The major
ity of women who have passed their
twentieth year know next to nothing
about the eXertion of mind and
body. To begin with, woman is
moulded of finer clay than man, and
is, of course, more susceptible to in
jury. They do not observe the rules
of hygiene so uniformly as men do"
Explain matters little more in
detail, DOCTOR"
"Well, women do not eat, drink
OR dress with reason. They nibble

too much. Their stomachs are con-
stantly at work. 1t is almost i'm

organ is at work. BY this too fire.
quent eating rational appetite is
spoiled. Only one thing then can
follow-an impaired digestion and
dyspepsia.
"The greatest cause of the poor
health of American women, however,
is the lack of invigorating employ
ment. They loll too much. The
brain and whole muscular system
become sluggish and at last incap-
able of sustaining any brain at all.
The need of American women is not
doctors and medicines, but advice
and more out. exercise, more
useful employment in the house and
more interchange of ideas and opin-
ions. Woman, instead of being
mans inferior and the weaker of
the two, is intended by nature to be
the greater and the stronger"

W0MAN'S PROGRESS.

There are twenty-seven women
students in McGill University, and
Adelbert College, Ohio, has decided
in favor of co-education. Twelve
thousand women have voted in
Washington Territory, and one has
served as foreman of a jury. The
highest prize offered to English mu-
steal students was won by woman.
Two women are painting drop cur
tain for Chicago theatre. In Swift
zerland women monopolize the tele-
phone business, and in Valparaiso
they are employed exclusively as
street-car conductors. A woman
holds the chair of the Doctor of
Mathematics in the Stockholm Uni
versity. Sixty women have matri-
culated in the Dublin University. A
young lady in Franklin has taken to
surveying with her father, and wo-
men have taken out patents for a
broom and brush holder, a crib, a
meat tenderer, compound for pre-
serving flowers, and heat indicator

Very Bad Boys.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, Jan. efficiently
two 20-year-old boys, named Sysney, got
drunk, saturated cats tail with kerosene,
set fire to it and then had an exciting chase
after the tortured animal to prevent its
story leaked out, and Mrs. Sysney, the boys
mother, first heard of it, with embellish-
ments, at quilting-bee last week. She
upbraided the boys and when Charley
Sysney, on Saturday met Newt Miller, who
was the only one that had been told of the
affair by the Sysneys, he accused him Of
treachcry, knocked him down and de-
mapded an apology. Miller refused, and
as Sysney rushed at him to renew the at
tack he retreated a few steps, seized shot
gun and fired, wounding Sysney danger
ously in the head. He has not yet been

THE SCHOOL BOARD.


The session of tho School Board last
night was largely occupied In discussing tho
eligibility of two teachers on tho rolls.
The first case discussed was that of Miss
Kelso. Trustee Purvis withdrew his obiec-
lions to her confirmation as a teacher. the
other case of a teachers credentials being.
questioned was that of Mr.. @. II. Coyle.
General Birney said this gentleman was
appointed without going through the reg
ular examination, on credentials which he
had brought from Johns Hopkins Univer-
siiy. MIR. Brhey said the credentials, If
they were genuine, were sufficient, but he
had never heard of Mr.. Coyle before, and
he knew all the fellows Of that University.
Mr.. Loveioy protested against condemning
a man as a fraud without proof. IL was af-
teTward found that the gentleman's
name was spelled at the university
with X, instead of 9. This
was satisfactory to all present and Mr..
Koyle was decided to be a genuine gradu-
ate Of the university. A petition was re-
ceived from some colored citizens Of West
Washington protesting against the location
Of the new colored school on Prospect ave-
nue., aud offering to purchase the site from
the District.
The report of the committee on rules was
then taken up. Mr.. Smith offered an
amendment TO article first that nine school
divisions DO created by dividing the sixth
into two. Mr. Curtis suggested that this
division be subdivided into division aud
B, situated east and west of the Bunker
Hill road, so as to do away with tbs Pd-
ditional expense of having another sup NJ
vising principal. division was taken on
this, and IL was carried by majority
vote.
A statement of the chairman 10 the effect
that Il two-thirds vote was necessary to
amend the rules caused quite breezy dis
cusson. Gen. Birney said that it was a desire
to establish one.man rule, and that in no
former instance had the power of the board
been thrown into the hands of the minor
ity. "a secret conclave meets here every
Saturday night" he exclaimed, (which
probably has more power than we do, and
should like to sec this investigated.
The chairman then asked whether the
decision of the chair should stand, and IL
was finally voted down.
A recess was then taken until next Tues
day, when the question. Of amending the
rules will be further considered.
