those who had gathered were as anxious
to make the event as pleasant for Mr.

The Clever Women of Mexico.

Spanish tradition respecting the fair
sex has not entirely died out in Mexico,
and it is with some difficulty that a
woman is able to do any work except
that OF teaching.
The stand taken by Senorita Montova,
of Pu5bla, is worthy of notice. At the
age of twelve years this remarkable girl
had finished the course OF study at the
young ladies' academy where she at
tended, but she was refused final ex-
animation because it was never given to
pupils under sixteen.
Resolved to waste no time, she pur-
sued alone the studies of botany, philo-
sophy, chemistry, and other subjects
preparatory to the study of medicine,
upon which her whole mind was bent.
Before she was fifteen her father, an
officer in the army, died, leaving the
family penniless, and she at once, as

mother, took up the business Of nursing,

position she succeeded in obtaining per-
mission from the Government to enter
as special student. While pursuing her
studies she supported herself by teach
ing and by acting as physician in the
women's hospital She has recently
passed an examination with high honors,
