1t may not generally be known that
the alumn@ OF the moro importantcen-
tiers OF female higher education in this
country have an organized intercol-
legiate association for the promotion of
woman's education and the study of
questions regarding her training This
association has justified its existence. II
Justification We're necessary, by the in
quiries which it has made regarding the
health of those women who have pur-
sued college courses. The Importance
of the results thus obtained has led to
their incorporation i'm the Current Re
port of the Massachusetts Labor Bureau"
For the first time the discussion is taken
from the priori realm of theory on the
one hand. and the hap-hazard estimate
of physician and college instructor on
the other. The returns have the value
of all good statistics; they not only en-
able us to come to some conclusion upon
the main point discussed, but they are
SO full and varied that they suggest and
mark the way toward the discussion of
a large number of other hardly less inn
portant questions. The figures, in
short, call up rs many problems as they
settle, thus fulfilling the first requisite of
fruitful research.
Pursuing this line, wa shall first state
the general character of the invcstiga-
ton followed and conclusions reached;
and, secondly, isolate few special
problems for more detailed though brief
treatment. The result may be summed
up in the words of the report, us follows:
The female graduates of our colleges
and universities do not seem to show,
us the result of their college studies and
duties, any marked difference in general
health from the average health likely to
be reported by an equal number of
women engaged in other kinds of work.
1t is true that there has been. and it was
to be expected that there would be,
certain deterioration in health on the
part of some of the graduates. On the
other hand, an almost identical i'm
provement in health for like number
was reported, showing very plainly that
we must look elsewhere for the causes
of the greater part of this decline in
health during college-lfc. If we at
tempt to trace the cause, we find that
this deteriorationjs largely due, not to
the requirements of college-life particu-
larry. but to prcdisposng causespatural
to the graduates themselves, born in
them. rs it were. and for which college
life or study should not be made response

PerpetualIy "On the Boil"

Coffee is brought every morning 70
you when at q Mexican hotel, while You
remain in it. 1t is only to the depart
ING guest that it is denied. AT eight
o'clock, the walters begin to bestir
themselves, bringing trays to every
room, as soon as they are rung for, with
cups and saucers, and all the requisites
for coffee. You can have boiled eggs if
you like. Then, enter Francisco with
the huge tin pots; simultaneous streams
of coffee and boiled milk fill up the cup
with their equal excellence. Sometimes
Francisco comes from restaurant q
couple of squares away, but he runs,
and the coffee is not cold.
Very well, so much for boiled milk in
Mexico My party came home by rail,
over the Mexican Central to FL Paso,
and then by Atchison and Topeka, and
so on, back to our little New England.
On the terrors of railway restaurants
between the City of Mexico and our
boundary l will not here dwell, the
strange food, the bad service, the
clumsy boxes which served as dining
rooms. For this paper | have only to
say about these GASES in the Mexican
desert, that there was always excellent
coffee, and milk perpetually ION the

DehOrning Cattle.

The courts and public opinion have
lately had brought prominently forward
the brutal practice of dehorning aged
cattle. Why not settle the whole ques-
ton, when it may be necessary, by de-
morning the young calf? The budding
horn may be quickly scared down with
3, hot iron, or the entire bud may be
clipped. In the very young calf this APP
pendagc is merely the matrix of the flu
ture horn. AT the age of 10 or Is days
the matriX is Il small, hairless, movable
prominence. The matrix, together with
n small band of true hairy skin, one
eighth of an inch wide. can be remove'
by one sweep of u strong. sharp pocket
knife, and forever after the animal will
be hornless. The calf being firmly held,
let the operator grasp the MARK be-
tween the thumb and two fingers Of the
left hand, place the edge of sharp
knife one-eighth of an inch outside of
the naked matriX, and with firm. steady
pressure, 'cut through to the opposite
side, the knife passing between the base
of the matriX and the skull, SO that u
rim of NARY skin one-eighth of an inch
wide remains attached TO the base of
the matriX now amputated and held in
the left hand. IN like manner remove
the other matriX. This simple opera
ton causes very little pain, the loss of
about one ounce of blood, and soreness
for only Il day or two. The calf is not
injured or stunted, does not lose its
appetite, and the wounds heal more
quickly than those caused by casrrat-
ing.
1t is nonsense to talk that part so
highly sensitive rs the tissue of the horn
is even measurably insensible to pain,
and where sawed off by II dull saw, nj
though not rusty as testified to by wit
ness, the grating through the sensitive
tissue occupying considerable time is
simply brutal, and none but brutal
man will practice it, simply that he may
crowd his animals closer together in
feeding. Dehorning aged cattle should
not be allowed except in the case of
vicious animals. Farm, Field and

Tree Planting IN tho United States

From paper on the woets of the
United States and their destruction, in
the February Century. Mr. i. +. Cham
berlain sums up us follows: 1.-THE rea-
sonablc conclusion of the whole matter
would seem to be that while there is no
serious menace to the eastern half of the
United States through the loss of forests,
there is good reason to urge the preser-
walton of us much of them as possible
and the encouragement of new planta-
tiObs; while in the western half of the
country the immediate withdrawal from
sale of the whole body of forests belong
ing to the Government is highly desira-
BILE. There should be an exhaustive in
quiry, at the hands of competent
Government commission, into nc SUBJ
ject of the extent of forests belonging to
the Government, their location, value,
character ETC., the proportion of private
lands now wooded. and the apparent
dependence or independence, as the
case may be, of all sections of the coun-
try upon the modifying effect of forests.
Exact information is now needed, which
could scarcely be obtained except
through the efforts of such commits
sion.
Sentimental considerations, l sup
pose, are to be held secondary TO the
practical in the natter but they are
powerful, and should be aroused in be-
half of no object more readily than the
woods, which have occupied SO large u
place in the sentimental life of man

keeping.

1t is reported from Cairo, Egypt, that
it has been resolved to remove the mass
of sand in which the greater part of the
sphinx is buried. Mr.. Maspero has in
trusted the undertaking to the custodian
of the museum of Bulach, DR.. Brugsch
Bey, brother of the Egyptologer,
Brugsch Pasha. The work was COM
menced on Jan. z, and it is expected it
will require about three months before
the excavation is completed. One hun
dred and fifty laborers are employed in
removing the sand, of which it is esti-
mated there are 100000 cubic feet A
tramway has been built for the purpose
of carrying this immense pile of sand
out of the way. When the colossus has
been unearthed broad circular road
will be constructed around it, which
will be protected from the drifting sand
by substantial wall. 1t is expected
the sphinx will reach the height of 20
feet. and will afford to the archeologist
another interesting object of study in
Evvpt.

Prospects Of African Civilization.

The prospects of African civilization
are APPLY summed up in the elder Prince
Gortschakoii's tersc definition OF the
equally undeveloped vastness of Siberia
rs - good bill payable at II long date.
Vast us are the results achieved during
the last few years, they are rs nothing
TO the work which still remains to be
done; but the outer world is at all events
beginning to learn for the first time
what Africa really is, and what she
really needs. AS lately as 1880, civili-
zation hailed as q great discovery the
announcement that John and Richard
Lander, having voyaged down the Niger
from Yauri to the sea, have satisfactor-
lily ascertained that it is mol the Congo!"
Even after this amazing revelation, and,
indeed, almost up TO the date of Stan
ley's famous ''linding of Livingstone, -
the few Europeans who thought of
Africa at all. thought of il us vast
sandy desert, with Il floating population
consisting chiefly of hungry lions and
robbers more fcrocous still, the latter
being in the habit of "carecring over
the waste" on swift horses without any
obvious cause for their hurry, living
comfortably where there was nothing
to eat, and amassing stores of ill-gotten
wealth where there was no one to rob.
But the great tidal wave of civiliza-
ton which is now bursting into the
Dark Continent has swept away these
decisions at once and forever. The
supposed desert proves to contain
wide tracts of alluvial soil rs fertile as
the Cashmere Valley, forests vast
enough to swallow up all the woods of
northern Russia, lakes to which Ladoga
and Omega would be mere pools, noun
tains rs high rs the stateliest peaks of
the Alps or the Caucasus, and rivers
forming series of watery high-roads
as magnificent rs those of Siberia ITSELF
with the additional advantage of hav-
ing no winter to impede them. Indeed,
the future history of Africa will be writ
ten along the lines traced by the Nile,
the Niger, and the Congo, as certainly
as that of Central Asia has followed the
course of the Syr-Darya and the Oxus;
and with these three great natural high
ways any survey of Africa's develop
ment must necessarily begin.
