A Female M. D. of Nineteen.

The advance of the ladies is as mar
velous as it is irresistible. Here is
Miss Dolores NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., NJ.
d., who has just taken her doctors de-
gree at Barcelona. She began her
university studies at the age of eight;
when thirteen she became B. A., and
now, at the ripe age of nineteen, after
coming out first in all her examina-
tons, and taking numerous prizes she
is fully qualified physician and sur
geon. Fancy female B. A. of thir-
teen discoursing on hideous diseases
with siX-syllable names, and correctly
diagnosing and prescribing for her
brothers and sisters! But it is what
we have got to expect, and the fair
Spaniard is to be congratulated on be-
ing the first of her sex to show what
can be done in the way of rapid devel-
opment. Miss Dolores, etc, may be
fairly addressed, like her namesake
sung of by Mr.. Swinburne, as "wise
among women and wisest, our Lady of
Pain. "-PuH Mall Gazette.

life and force even to his work among
material things. But the liquor traffic
and the Sabbath are in natural enmity.
1t is no chance association which leads
to the cry: "Down with the Sunday

parts of the country. The traffic wants

EMPRESS OF LOTA.
A Rich Woman Who Is a Potentate in the
Heart of q Free Renuhlic.


notice an interesting paragraph in
an English journal which informs us
that Leith firm has just completed a
handsome screw steam launch, which
has been built to the order of Mrs.
Couteno, South American lady, who
is reported to be the richest woman in
the world. The launch, which is built
of steel, is twenty-five feet in length,
and is to be employed as tender to
her large yacht. (The large yacht is
engaged at present in the unpretend-
ing but profitable trade of carrying
coal from Lota to Valparaiso.) 1t is
deliberately fitted up in polished ma
hogany and is to be dispatched forthwith
by one of the mail steamers from Liv-
erpool for conveyance to Chill.
Besides being the richest lady in the
world, she also enjoys the singular
privilege of being Empress over tract
of territory called Lota, which lies
some two or three hundred miles south
of the port 1t may appear strange to

pared to deny that on the making of
the place a special arrangement was
made with reference to coal deposits
between the Divinity and the reigning
monarch.
During her absence the Government
is carried on, much as it is in Ireland,
by means of a Viceroy, with this eXcep-
ton, that while the Irish are not in
frequently rebellious and troublesome
and actually lay claim to the the right
of having a slight say in their destinies
either in this world or in that which is
to come, such supernatural effort
never enters the simple and uncom-
planning minds of the population of
this remarkable portion of Gods foot
stool. And why should it be other
wise? The Viceroy, or boss Pasha,
and his court have been so long accus-
toned to licking and cleaning the boots
of their sovereign mistress, and passing
along their own in return to their
subordinates, who perform a similar
but humber task, and keep the ball
rolling always downward, that it would
be at once dangerous and unkindly
action to persuade them that they are

After many vicissitudes of fortune,
in the majority of which the evil has
certainly predominated over the good,

turned to a use which is decidedly

of the venture has been so greathat the
proprietors of the enormous galleon
propose to take her from porto port,

view; and there would not sem to be
any valid reason why in Process OF

BOHEMIAN GLASS.
How tho Most Beautiful Effects in Color
ing Arc Obtained.

ing Arc obtained.
The ornamentation of the glass is
done partly in connection with the ex-
posture in the furnace and partly in the
finishing shops, where the work is COM
pleted by cutting, polishing, tarnish-
ing, etching, painting and mounting
in metal. The glass-houses have at
their command a very complete color
scale for transparent, Opaque and
clouded glasses. But it must not be
supposed that q crucible is placed in
the furnace for each color, from which
glass colored for each ornament is to
be made, The colors are worked out
by means of what are called pastes,
which are kept on hand in sticks or
cakes. From pieces of these pastes,
previously warmed till they are soft,
suitable quantities are cut off laid upon
the foundation of white or colored
glass, and then spread out by drawing
or blowing. By this means only is an
economical use of such costly materials
as gold and silver compositions posi-
BILE. Some of the glasses thus treated
gold, copper and silver glasses-re-
main still little, or not at all, colored
after the melting, shaping and quick
cooling, and do not take on their bright
hues until they are reheated. This is
the case with the new yellow-silver
glass, which continues uncolored after
the inter-melting of the silver salt I'M
til it is exposed in the furnace again.
Very fine effects are produced by blend
ing or overrunning of paste-colors,
provided proper attention is given to
the laws of harmony. A blue glass
cup is, for example, overlaid with silver
glass at its upper edge, and this is
drawn down in gradually thinner
tones till it fades away at the foot of
the vase. Gold and copper ruby-colors
are thus combined with green glasses,
etc. Another brilliant effect is pro-
duced when a still hot bulb of glass is
rolled in finely pulverized aventurine
glass, and after this is melted, and
previous to the shaping of the vessel,
is overlaid with coating of either
colored or colorless glass. Popular

NOTHING But TALK.
Pretended Dissatisfaction of Wealth
People With Their Riches.

Pretended Dissatisfaction of Wealthy
People with Their Riches.
Nothing is more ridiculous and con-
temptble than the pretended dissatis-
faction of wealthy people with their
riches An instance of this kind was
furnished by an Eastern paper the other
day. A millionaire was going up the
Tribune elevator, and, incidentally
hearing that one of the elevator men
had gone to see the baseball match,
delivered himself of the following rot:
THAT is right. You are not rich and
can afford to enjoy yourselves. 1 am
weighed down with wealth and must
work from morning till night to take
care of my interests. | wish | was boy
cotting somebody so that l might have
rest"
This is fair sample of great deal of
talk that is heard from wealthy men.
1t would be better left unsaid, because
nobody believes that it is honest or that
it is not arrant humbug and hypocrisy.
If these rich men are sincere they could
very easily lessen their burden. tits not
very difficult to get rid of ones money.
But they don't want to get rid of it.
They want to get more all the time, and
they work hard and decline recreation
solely for this purpose. Instead of con-
tracing their business, they go on en-
larging it. They are so wrapped up in
money getting that baseball has no at
fractions for them, and that is the real
reason they don't 90 to see the games
No, your average rich man has no de-
sire to be a poor man, whatever he may
say to the contrary. He is very well
contented with his lot in life. Chicago
