what One woman DID.

Several years ago, Miss Beilby, q
young English woman who had studied
medicine to fit herself for usefulness as a
missionary at Lucknow, in India, was
sent for by the wife of the native Prince
of Puma, who was i'll. Puma was q
long distance from Lucknow, and the
journey was dangerous one; if Miss
Beilby went she would be separated by
more than a hundred miles from any
white man.
Herfricnds urged her to refuse. The
Englishwoman was young and timid,
but.she knew her duty; she went, re-
NAMED two months, and cured the pa.
tient. When she was about to return,
the Rance sent for her and begged her
to go in person to Queen Victoria with
the message that Indian women, not be-
ing allowed the attendance of men ply
sicians, died in great numbers every
year for want of care. The Rance
brought paper, pen and ink, and with
tears, bcsought MISS Beilby to
write her petition to the Queen to send
10 them women doctors.
"Write it small, Saheba," she begged,
'for shall put it in locket and hang
it about your neck and you must wear
it until you put it in the hands Of the
great Rance herself"
Miss Beilby returned to England the
next year, obtained an interview with
Queen Victoria and placed the locket in
her hands with the message. The
Queen was deeply touched and empow
cred Lady Dufferin, the wife OF the vice
roy of India, TO form an association TO-
sending out female medical aid TO tn

Secretary Whitney is quoted as saying

An Ostrich Race,

Ireminded the doctor, says Califor-
Mo letter to the New York Sun, of
promise he had made me TO show me a.
foot-race between ostriches. We imme-
diately went to broad, open space be-
tween the ostrich pens and the house.
One of the keepers opened the door Of
one Of tho pens, and, in response to the
doctors call, two superb ostriches came
running to him. After caressing the
gentle creatures few moments he
showed them handful of figs, OF which
they are extremely fond. Two of his
men then restrained the birds, by plac-
ing nooses about their legs, until he and
myself had walked away about quarter
of mile. Then, ats signal from the
doctor, the birds were released and the
race began. 1t was rare sight. Ornith-
ologists tell US that the stride of the
ostrich when feeding is from twenty to
twenty-five inches; when walking, but
not feeding, twenty-six inches, and
when terrified from eleven and half
to fourteen feet. 1t seemed to me that
in this race for handful of figs from their
master these gigantic birds covered the
last-named instance at every stride.
Like the wind they came, their great
necks stretched forward and upward to
their utmost length and their wings
working. They kept well abreast for
nearly half the distance and then one
began to forge ahead. He increased his
lead till within short distance of us,
when he turned his head, and, seeing
that his competitor was considerable in
the rear, he slackened his pace, and
jogging up to the doctor, received his
reward in figs and caresses.

Tho r.sh,ons I'm Hair.


A San Francisco dealer in human hair
said to Call reporter: ''The fashions
are always changing. Our grand
mothers and grandfathers, you know,
used to powder their hair. That was
not so very long ago. In ancient times
the Hebrews and Greeks were proud of
their beautiful hair, while the Egyptians,
just across the way, considered it an in
cumbrance, cut it off and substituted light
wigs. The Roman ladies used to dye
their own hair and used the false article
almost universally, sprinkling 1T with
gold dust and doingit up into variety
of fanciful forms. In France. during
the time of Francis ], the King set the
fashion of short hair for women. 1t was
high treason to let it grow long, bu!
Louis XIII instituted a long hair rage,
which during the eighteenth century
reached the acme of its popularity and
greatness. Ladies hair was frzzed up
into convolutions and curls, and dec
grated with feathers and jewels. A
couture, when erect, often measured
two feet. Frequently ladies about to at
tend ball would find it necessary to
have their hair "donc up" two days in
advance, in order that the pomatum and
other preparations might properly dry.
In such cases the lady, of course, could
not go to bed, but sat up for two
nights in a chair. These lovelocks' OF
the French courtiers, you perhaps re-
member, was what excited the ire of the
Puritans. Yes, the notions of the world
