The Health of College Girls.

N. E. Medical Monthly.
The Investigations which have
been conducted by the Massachusetts
Bureau of Labor have resulted in
some interesting facts regarding the
health of female students. The COM
monty accepted opinion that mental
labor if at all severe or long contin-
ued, is prejudicial to health, is here
refuted by statistics derived from va
rious sources.
In one case, of 705 returns made, it
was found that rs per cent of the wo-
men graduates heard from were in
good health. Upon entering college,
the health of 20 per cent was below
par. After graduation, impaired
health was found in only II per cent,
showing that the physical condition
of the student became improved I'M
der the restrictions and requirements
of college life.
Those whose health was not good
suffered chiefly from nervous diseases
1t was also found that girls from the
country do not make as good a show.
ing as regards health as those who
were natives of cities. Although
these statistics are looked upon by
the advocates of higher education O
women as conclusive evidence, VIZ
cannot admit that they are sufficient
ly large or complete to convey much
weight. The variation in physica
condition, before and after the &C
quirement of a collegiate education
was only three per cent. This fact
which is the one from which any
conclusion can be drawn, might b.
the result of improved hygienic sur
roundings, both mental and physical
making the effect of study itself Who'll
ly negative in character.

them equally good health, too"

Engagements.
Mrs. Brown, in Merchant Traveller.

Mrs. Brown, in Merchant Traveller.
Whatismy opinion ofengagements?
OF course you don't mean warlike
engagements, but plain love engage
ments that happen every day, and
never become unromantic or practi-
cal, until after their fulfillment? |
thought you did. | don't believe /
ever heard girl ask much about any
other kind. Ii is my opinion that
this kind of an engagement is just as
binding and as sensible as a business
contract, and should be held in equal
respect, but people have pulled and
hauled it around until they have
almost destroyed its true import and
character. The first thing girl is
taught is that she is to marry, and, of
course, as a preliminary, an engage
ment is entered into. This she does
the first time, usually, because some
pretty young fellow tells her he loves
her, and she thinks it is something
perfectly lovely" to be engaged.
Neither the girl or the boy has
enough sense to make a business en-
gagement, and the result is, after IA
few weeks or months, the same peo-
pie who ran to each other with the
important whisper, "Mary and John
are engaged" run again in the same
direction with the equally startling
information that Mary and John are
not engaged. When Mary and John
get more sense they either marry or
don't marry, and during their entire
subsequent life, wonder what they
saw in each other that they should
have ever been engaged. In another
class, when an engagement is made,
either the man or the woman wants
the world to know it at once, even
though there be hundreds of possibili-
ties against its fulfillment. The
world, of course, talks about it, and
keeps eyes open to see, and its
tongue ready to speak unkindly of
any little action which it thinks not
proper for "engaged people" Then,
too, the man or the woman is exact
ing and exercises tyranny over the
other, which, when there is consider
able jealousy existing, is about as UNI
desirable state as could be imagined,
unless under the same conditions,
they were married and the engage
ment could not be broken. AS
look upon a matrimonial engage
ment, it should be an engagement be-
tween man and woman, with a
full knowledge of all the facts, con-
tingent and remote, to marry at their
, earliest convenience. 1t should be
made after the romantic period had
passed, when the practical, clear
showing sun of day had dispelled the
shadowy moonshine, and both par
ties to the agreement had realized
that their real life as one had begun
, its course. 1t is enough that they
, know this, without publishing it to
, the world, and knowing it, as they
, should, they can live among theil
fellows, enjoying and giving enjoy
! ment quite the same as if they were
not engaged. Good, substantial sense
. is valuable in this connection, and
without it, people had better neither
be engaged or married.

"Have you any paper collars"
asked a stranger ola Cherry-street fur

"No, we don't keep Them"
"Do you have many calls for paper
collars~ asked a Banner reporter of
the dealer after the customer had left.
"That's the first call we've had for
them this year. Paper collars are no
longer used. They were all the rage
a dozen years ago, but most people
who wear collars now use linen. The
celluloid collar has had hard strug-
gle to get noticed, but has failed. A
few book agents, peddlers and light
ning-rod men use them, but they

Raby, who left this place some ten
years ago, was brought back Sunday
night, having been arrested in tho In
dian Territory by Sheriff Lanham and
Deputy Cole. Raby, when he left
Gatesvile, took with him as n para
mour, Miss Matte Hartgrave, q beauti-
full country girl of 20, leaving behind a
wife and five children. They went di-
rect to Ca aiiiornia, and finally stopped
permanently in Washington Territory,
where they lived as man and wife. A
few months ago the woman died, and on
her deathbed disclosed The whole mat
ter, which finally led TO Raby's arrest.
Raby was accused of embezzlement
of county funds when he left to the
amount of $4,000, but there was never g
bill found against him. He is, however
charged with assault with intent to
murder in Two cases, and was held to
answer each charge in bond of $500,
which he promptly gave on arrival
here. 1t is generally believed that the
witnesses against him have gone and
that he wilt pe acquitted. He will, In all
probability, remain here. This Raby
must not be conf0uuded with DR.. James
K. Raby, an honest and honored citizen
of Gatesyille, on whose name there is
not stain. Dr. Raby is the eX-sheriff Is
