In China there are among the diff
ferent Protestant denominations sew
enty-nine persons who devote them
selves chiefly to medical work.
Twenty-seven are women. There
has been issued by their Medical
Missionary association the first num-
Der of a medical journal, whose col
umns contain valuable papers from
native and foreign physicians of high
standing. The articles by the Chi
nese doctors-themselves Christians
in the Chinese language will have
a wide influence among their coun-
trymen in removing the prejudice
against foreign physicians.

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, OF Boston,
writes: "For years, l was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out new growth. 1
could hardly trust my senses when l
first found my hair growing but there
1t is, and l am delighted. l look ten
gears younger" ..
A similar result attended the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
III. Bedloe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm
purity OF the blood or arrangement of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
a course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
q persevering trial and strict attention
to cl>anly and temperate habits.

Sense and Suffrage.

Mrs H. H. Robinson, who has always been
identified with the Massachusetts woman suffrage
movement, has very unique kitchen. IL is built
of sheathed hard pine, with rafters overhead and
big closet at one end, the top of which forms
shelf several feet from the rafters. On this shelf
are grouped earthen vessels and stone pitchers,
with two stone idols, which she calls her Lares and
Penates. Their most appropriate place is in the
Kitchen she says, for here is the fire where the
prestess of the household offers the sacrifice and
the divine spark is ever kindled. The cooking
vessels hung on these kitchen walls in designs is
artistic as the works of art in ady's boudoir.
Each article has place in the most convenient
nook, and the whole room is model of labor-say-
ing inventions and neat, orderly housekeeping,
while here and there crops out poetical fancy or
old New England legend. In some convenient
place is pile of note paper and pencil on which
to jot thoughts that come while washing dishes or
overseeing the baking. Although on account OF
the systematic arrangements of the household this
modern priestess needs to spend but little time IN
her kitchen, when she does offer up herself as sac
rifce there, the result is such as the gods would
appreciate were they to banquet at her dining Ia
