it, and whether we prove 1t or not the
action is taken. When we look at the
little fossil horses OF tho Peabody Mu-

those little creatures became larger OF
size and more compressed as TO foot

those early races been consulted they
might not have approved Of the change,
and might even have filed remon-
strances and held mass-meetings to OPP
pose it. A political tendency which
five new State constitutional conven-

be ignored, even il not one of them has
put 1t in any final and complete shape.
A generation OF women who grow up to
see their own sex admitted to colleges

look at life precisely as their grand
mothers did, for whom such state OF

WISE CONCESSIONS.
Results of Respecting the Claims of Wom'
an for Equal Rights.

Results of Respecting the Claims of Wom-
an for Equal Rights.
Whenever the claim OF women for
equal rights or privileges has been con-
coded. the result has shown the wisdom
OF the concession. The last instance
was in the meeting OF the Massachu-
sets Medical Society. 1t had not been
easy for the society to accept women as
members any more than 1t had been
that they should be recognized as doc
tors. On both these points there Is
now only one opinion, and the press
generally states it. Take this example
from the Boston Transcript:
1T was an imposing sight-the great
hall of the Mechanics Building just
fairly filled with regular doctors at
dinner yesterday considering what an
amount OF learning, brains and charac-
ter are guaranteed to the 'aggrega-
ton. by even the average qualities Of
the good doctor. But the most
striking thing about it was the
appearance of the lady members OF the
Massachusetts, Medical Society dining
among the gentlemen, and one lady sit
ting among the long row of eminent
guests at the table OF honor, stretched
along the front of the platform. An
other noticeable thing was the reception
OF this distinguished woman was as
hearty and general as that OF any OF the
distinguished men, If not indeed, more
marked than that given any of the
gentlemen. And the best OF it was
that this proceeded, not from any gal
lantry or sentiment OF any kind. but
was simply felt TO be due recognition
of merit and achievement The doctors
Of our day pride themselves on lucidity
and candor, and do not hesitate to say
that women can be and are most excel
lent physicians"
Women who have worked and waited
long for equal rights have only to be

is as sure as that equal human rights
are just.-Woman' Journal.

NOTES FOR PARENTS.
Have Patience with the Questions and
the Noise OF Children.

Have patience with
The questions of childhood.
Here is child to whose recently
opened eyes and active senses a world
is exposed, but not one of the manifold
wonders before it can understand. Ed
ucation must, therefore, guide and ex-
plain observation. This begins very
early; long, indeed, before the first eff
forts at speech. The aimless thrust
ing out of limb, by contact with
some external object, excites double
sensation; that of muscular action and
that of the external object; and the
two, in future, suggest one another.
The lips and tongue may be said to be
the first inlets of knowledge, in that
they are the first vehicles Of sensa-
ton. As it is natural for child to
carry all objects OF which it wishes to
form judgment to its mouth, it in
this way receives impressions not to
open it. The great limitations of its
knowledge, at this time, may be in
ferred from the fact that it is very
long before it can locate the sensa-
ton Of pain. II pin gets askew and
pricks the delicate skin, it makes no
attempt to cry out Through such
considerations as these we may UNDER
stand the mental position of the child
as it develops, in regard to external
nature. With the gift of speech the
urgent desire for knowledge breaks
into the verbal expression. Happy is
that mother who, approaching her
mission as the one divinely COM
rnissioned to guide this little one.
sees in the eager questioning nothing
but desire that urges the child or in
spite OF himself. 1t is healthful i'm
pulse but one that can be checked by
petulance, irritability and indifisr-
enoe.
Have patience then with
The noise of children.
1t is unreasonable to expect children
to cease importunate questioning; it
is quite as much, if not more so, to
ask them to keep their restless bodies
quiet Development and growth
come through exercise. Muscles to
grow must, therefore. be used, and
the stimulus to this is constant. In
the same manner re the lungs de-
veloped. and a due rate of chest exc
pansion preserved. The noise at

Work Necessary.

1t appears always to be taken for
granted, in discussing woman and her
sphere" says Kate Epson Clark, in
Christian Union, that all women, upon
reaching maturity, stand still. look
about them, and then deliberately
either marry or take up some sort Of
an occupation whichever they chose.
From the way in which many OF our
most prominent men discuss the mat
ter, it would seem to be within the
power of every woman to marry salts
factorily, or at least stay at home and
busy herself in helping her mother at
housekeeping and entertaining. These
gentlemen oven intimate that II she
does not do one OF these things she is
blameworthy. They do not seem to
know that very large proportion OF
our most valuable women can not mar

WORSE THAN A FAILURE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room:
His toes with the govt were aching.
And his face was o'ersprcad with r,oo,,
No little ones shouts disturbed him
From noises the house was free:
In fact. from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking;
The servants answered his ring.
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with eyery thing.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn't commando
The kindly words OF compassion,
The touch OF gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling nurse:
swell, marriage may be failure.
But this is blamed sight worser,
