A Prosperous woman Doctor.


Dr. Mary Putnam jacob. daughter of the late
George S. Putnam, the publisher has, probably
the largest and most lucrative practice of any
woman physician in the Republic. Indeed, there
are not many men in the profession who equal
her in this respect. She has been noted from
early girlhood for energy resolution, courage.
When she announced, while still at school, her
determination to study medicine, the members
of her family knew she would carry it
out in the face of the most dscour
aging circumstances. After being graduated,
more than twenty years ago, at the Woman's
College, Philadelphia. Pa, she went TO Paris to
study. She there during the siege, and was

Tea and Coffee Dyspeptics.

Dr. J. Burney Yeo. in Popular Science Monthly.
1t has occurred to the writer to make many
observations as to the circumstances under
which tea and coffee are found to agree or dis
agree with different persons; in the first place,
as Sir W. Roberts has pointed out, tea if taken
at the same time as farinaceous food is much
more likely to retard its digestion and cause
dyspepsia than if taken little time after eating.
and the custom adopted by many persons al
breakfast for instance, of eating first and drink
ing their tea or coffee afterward is sensible one;
so, also, it is better to take ones 5-oclock tea
without the customary bread and butter or cake
than with it.
Indeed, while there is little that can be said
against cup of hot tea as stimulant and re-
storative, when taken about midway between
lunch and dinner, and without solid food, il
may, on the other hand, be fruitful cause OF
dyspepsia when accompanied at that time with
solid food. 1t is also curious fact that many
persons with whom tea under ordinary circum-
stances. will agree exceedingly well, will bar
come the subjects of tea dyspepsia If they
drink this beverage at time when they may be
suffering from mental worry or emotional dis
turbance
Moreover, it is well-recognized fact that per-
sons who are prone to nervous excitement of the
circulation and palpitations of the heart have
these symptoms greatly aggravated if they per-
slSt IN the use OF tea or coffee as beverage. The
excessive consumption of tea among the poorer
classes is the cause of much of the so-called
''heartcomplaints' among Them the food OF
these poor women consists largely of starchy
substances dread and butter chiefiy) together
with tea, g., a food accessory which is one OF
the greatest of all retarders of the digestion Of
starchy food.
The effect of coffee as a retarder of stomach
digestion would probably be more felt than it is
were it not so constantly the practice to take it
only in small quantity after very large meal;
it is then mixed with immense bulk of food.
and its relative percentage proportion rendered
insignificant; and to the strong and vigorous the
slightly retardng effect on digestion it would
then have may be, as Sir W. Roberts suggests,
not altogether disadvantage; but after spare
meal, and in persons of feeble digestive power,
the cup of black coffee would probably exercise
retarding effect on digestion which might prove
harmful.

A Profitable Island.
PHILADELPHIA Pres ]


The suggestion of Senator Fair to the Secre-
tary of the Interior that the government buy the
island of Santa Catalina as a good place in which
to pen the bloody Apaches called to the mind OF
much travelled Philadelphia some interesting
"reminiscences concerning the barren island of
the coast of Lower California In the days Of
40 or Whereabouts an English doctor, who was q
good deal of an adventurer remembered reading
that the English navigator, Lord Arson, years
and years before, had left pair or two Of goats
on this island. He coupled this historical fact
with the present need in California for sheep,
and he at once risked every cent he could beg
or borrow in great speculation. He chartered
every vessel he could find, from steamer to
tub-anything that would hold a goat-and
sailed for the island. Sure enough, when the
expedition arrived there they found it literally
swarming with wild goats They carried them
to San Francisco, and the English doctor cleared
100000 Then he stocked the island again with
New Mexico sheep and Australian rams, and
made many another pretty penny. He. bought
the island, which was held under an old Spanish
grant, for song. Senator Fair intimates that it
can be bought for So or 81 an acre, or about
5000 600; so that if the government should buy
it the little bit of land will have paid several big
profits on the original purchase price.

Again on that marvellous face to look"
But they took my hand and they led me in,
And left me alone with my nearest kin
Once again in that silent place.
My beautiful dead and |, face to face.
And could not speak. and / could not stir,
But l stood, and with love looked on her.
With love, and with rapture and strange surprise,
I looked on the lips and the cold-shut eyes,
On the perfect rest and calm content
And the happiness there in the features blent
And the thin. white hands that had wrought much
My beautiful dead who had known the strife,
The pain and the that we call life,
Who had never faltered beneath her cross.
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips Away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
L smoothed from her hair a silver thread,
And wept, but could not think her dead.
i felt with wonder too deep for speech, -
She could tell what only the angels teach;
And over her mouth leaned nay ear,
Lest there might be something | should not hear.
Then out from the silence between stole
A message that reached to my Utmost soul:
why weep you to-day, who have wept before,
That the road was rough must journey oerl
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow both forgotg
Behold, all my life have longed for rest,
Yea, cen when held you my breast;
And now that lie in a breathess sleep,
Instead of rejoicing you sigh and weep.
Ny dearest know that you would not break.
Ii you could, my slumber and have me wake
For though life was full of things that bless
have never till now known happiness
Then dried my tears, and with lifted head
left my mother, the beautiful dead.

STANLEY MATTHEws,s MARRIAGE.
"Supreme Court Ladies" the Aristocracy o

"supreme Court Ladies" the Aristocracy of
the Capital.
Washington Letter.
The report of the coming marriage of Justice
Matthew'S is creating a great deal of gossip in
Washington. Stanley Matthews is sixty-three
years DID, and his hair and beard are largely
mixed with gray His first wife died about
year ago. and his daughters still in mourn
ing for her. His second wife that is to be is
widow, and her husband has been dead a little
over two years. Her name is Mrs. Theaker, and
she is the widow of Thomas G.. Theaker, who
was a member of the Thirty Sixth Congress,
and who was Johnsons Commissioner of Patents.
Mr.. Theaker died in 1883, and do not think he
left a large amount of money, though the papers
report his widow to be wealthy.
The first Mrs. Matthews was finely educated,
and she took prominent part in Washington
society. Mrs. Theaker is said to be very ac-
complished woman, and at the same time good
looking. Stanley Matthews may be considered
good catch. He is in sound health, has an as
sured income OF $40 900 year for the rest OF his
life, and owns one of the most elegant residences
in the most fashionable part of Washington. He
has two young lady daughters who are well edu-
Gated and highly accomplished, and his wife will
be one of the leading ladies of the land The
Supreme Court ladies, the wives of the
justices, are the female aristocrats of Washing
ton. Their husbands are appointed for life, and
they get good round salaries 1t is question as
to whether in social rank they are above or be-
low the wives or the CABINET ana Senators. but
their tenure Of social position is fixed, and they
rank as nigh as the highest In the court circle.
Most of them have wives living and their homes
are social centers. Judge Fields wife is beau
tiful woman, and she entertains great deal.
Judge Waite's wife has not been in the best of
health. though her daughters are leading figures
in Washington society. Judge Bradley was the
youngest of eleven children. and he married the
youngest daughter of Chief Justice Hornblower,
of New Jersey. Justice Harlan married, think,
Miss Shanklin, and his brothers-in-law are the
editors of papers in Indiana.

And drew you close to me.

Were music in mine ear.

Beside the murmuring sea;
Your presence made the whole earth seem
A paradise to me;
We said our love would never change.
Would no abatement know
While life should last-it seems so strange
Twas just year ago.
Once more we pace the yellow sands
Beside the summer sea;

You do not cling to me,
do not press you TO my heart
And kiss your snowy brow
We're strolling twenty yards apart
For we are married now.
