 "why have you not let this be known long sgos" said Sheriff Taylor
 From fear of exposure. suppose. We were not willing to let our mothers know we had been here, and consequently our lips have been sealed to the truth. We were here, with number of others. and saw MT. 1sovelace when he removed his disguise. and heard him talking to George Hines as we went out. Further than that we have no knowledge of him"
 This rather unexpected information startled everyone present. and when Willie had finished his remarks, it was suggested that every nook and corner of the building be diligently searched with the hope of finding some clew to the mystery, as it was now very generally believed that Colonel Lovelace had been murdered by the Hines and the body hid away to evade an expos ure of their disgraceful business and their arrest for the murder. But careful search failed to throw any light on the mystery, and all hope again faded away. but 1t was always talked of us the Hines murderors outrage.

 WOMEN DOCTORS,
\ Profession {, Which the Sex See ms to be Pecvs
 1iarly Adapted.


 Forty years ago there was no oppor- tunity for a woman to graduate as physician in any institution of tho country; and even twenty years ago woman physician was next to a freak in her com ;nunity and contemptuously frowned upon by the profession. Now as many as forty woma an are graduated from one institution in day, ana there is a general popular welcome or the softer sex to the practice of medi- cine.
 There is not only no reason why women should not be physicians, but there are many and pressing reasons why they should practice medicine. While there are few things in the practice that they might not bc as we'll i adapted to as men, they arc quite as we'll adapted to even the exceptional duties referred to as male physicians are to many delicate duties they now | perform for women without complaint. In large majority of the ailments to which humanity is subject women plsy- sicians. with equal intelligence and skill, are certainly the equal Of men in professional usefulness, and there are many complaints of their own sex which should especially command tho services of women physicians. | The world has advanced with wou- dcrful rapidity during the last century in the recognition of the rights aud | capabilities of women. IL is only for. ty-two years since married women In l Pennsylvania had no right over even l their own property acquired by either i inheritance or their own labor, and they were then practically unknown as { clerks and saleswomen. were little
 known ns teachers, and the profession was regarded as entirely beyond their i reach. Now the world has learned tbat woman is entitled 10 just an even chance in every calling to which she is at all adapted. and in medicine, law and science she Is now teacSer aud practitioners The old prejudice against uusexing women by giving them au opportunity outside of the kitchen the laundry and the nursery. was the creation of unmtxed ignorance, and to-day tho only jnst complaint that women can make iS against the yet l prevalent custom of plyins women less than rnau arc paid for precisely the same servlcs. Women arc quite as refined now as they were when un- known in the great battles ot life, and Inc whole tendency of tee age IS to-
 ward the only manly theory of giving
 women fair play all around.

What is believed to he tie largest fec ever paid to physician in single case was paid by J. II. Flagier, one of the Standard oil kings, to Dr. C. c. sheldon. A dearly beloved daughter of Mr. Flag. ier. who afterward died while cruising on yacht iu Southern waters about q year ago. was lingering between life and death. There were not more than two or three chances out of hundred that she would ever bs able to leave her bed alive. The devoted fatherannounced that if Dr. sheldon could relieve the suffering in his child and aid her in recovering he would give him the largest fec that was ever paid a physician. Miss FIagler rallied and finally was able to leave her bed. and in the coursa of time was sutii- cicntly strong to drive out The young hsircss to several millions lived to enjoy her great wealth for q long time after this, and Dr. sheldon was prcsented with e95o, 900 worth of stock in ths Standard ol oompany.

There is popular idea that because the right arm is more often used and stronger than the left, so the right leg is stronger than tho left This is not correct: there is evidence that the left leg in most peo- pie Is stronger than the right From tlla theoretical point of view, it would ap- rear that in all manual labor requiring increased use of the right hand the left leg Is also employed on the principle of equilibrium In the case of lower ami. nals except mhulaiurs-camels, etc.l, and babies, when walking on all fonrs. the right forc limb moves will the left hind limb, and vice versa. IL follows fromathis that man, using the right arm more than the left, would probably use the left leg more than the right. Many people tind icss exertinn n walking around large circles to the right than in going to the left. This is also inc casa in race paths for athletic sports, nearly all of which are arranged for the racers to go in circles tu the right in running. Again, travellers have observed that hunt crs. when lost on prairies, wander around in circles to the right. This fact had been attributed to their following the course of the sun; but this does not ap- pear to be necessarily the case. Many skaters can perform more figures on the left than on the right foot--or at any rate. in commencing. figures arc more readily done on the ieftfoot Withropd dancers it is usually observed that the more complicated feats of balancing are performed on the left foot In dancing gyration ischieily to heright, but few be- ing able to reverse In dressing many men must put tho left leg into their trouscr. first, before the right. some even going 70 far as to state that If, through some accident, they should have reversed thC process, they have to remove the offend ing right trouser or boot before contin uing their toilet.

To Detect o,eo in Butter.

Dr. Thomas Taylor, microscopist of the United States department of agri- culture proposes tho following new method of detecting oleo in butter- Dissolve in twenty cubic centimetres of petroleum benzipe lt1 grains Of mixture of oleo and butter. Heat slightly to secure perfect solution of lhe fats. Gaseine and animal tissues may be readily removed by passing he liqaid while warm through fine muslin. Fill test tube with the solu- lion and place in icowater. In about .wenty minutes tue oleo fats will sepa- .ate from tho butter fat and fail to tho bottom Of the tube, being ipsoluble in ,old benzine. while tue butter Tat will -cmaiu in solution in the bsnzine. separate tho oleo fat from the liquid cutter fat hy filtration The fat re- covered may hs solidifed by mechans- ,al pressure. placing it between sever Il layers of bibulous paper to absorb ihe remaining 5enzine, after which he sheet of solid oleo may be remov- d from the paperwith a palette knife. The butter may be recovered by .vaporating the benzine by means of tand bath.

 John L. sullivan has disco>e,-ed that
 the man who a sociates with black
 guards will take on their characteristics.
 They're pin heads. he said, and 1t doesn't do man any good to go around with 'eni. What n man wants to do in this world is td look ont for men who

 perience to help him through life. That's better than teachiu' lot of shoemakers

 mans relations to man are concerned | The labor of reasoning and the stormy ex- perience which has led the greatest of 1 prize fighters to this conclusion Is part
 of the history of the world. Sullivan is
 a curious mixture of child and man reaching out for knowledge. 1e will talk for days on some special idea that has attracted his attention, and then l again, for week at time, he will in.
 dulge in the most silly and chlldiikc ! amusement. During oneof his Southern ! tours he took q fancy to n beetle hrowed
 nnd chin whiskerel harroorn lounger in i Cincinnati who loved to whine old Irish I songs 10 the accompaniment of bat | tered guitar. Sullivan bought this man | a suit of clothes and carried him along | with him on his tour for several weeks. 1 He would sit hour after hour listening | with m mir of feeble rapture to the idi- 1 otic meanings of the SO called minstrel.
 Judged by any and all standards, the
 man had an utterly Incompetent and | taneless ear. Yet there was something about his amiable way of going through | life that struck a responsive chord In ! Sullivan's nature, aud he made lhe man
 pet while the spell lasted Then one
 day he kicked him out, and probably has | never thought of him since.

 On the appointed evening for their visit Si appeared so completely disguised that Roy did not readily recognise hlm. They went out together about eight o'clock and were soon at the fashionable saloon of John Geyer, where we will leave them to spend the evening
 CHAPTER x.--GEoIsGE AND HARRY HINES,
 Dlligent search was continued for Col. onel Lovelace, and as time passed and he could no where be found, the mystery widened. 1t was soon noised abroad that he had left his home to visit the saloon in search of his son Hugh, after which all traces of him were entirely lost, But sly hints were thrown out here and there that the Hines knew more about the affair than they were willing should be made public; but no proof of any consequence could be established against them, and the matter was for the time dropped so far as they were concerned publicly. but private opinion was still strongly against them. and their saloon was more closely watched than ever before.
 When Colonel Loyelace made himself known in that assembly so unexpectedly on that fatal night, George Hines was so completely enraged with fear and anger tbat his first impulse was to retreat and leave everything behind, but no sooner had the boys all left the scene than he sprang upon the lone mau like vicious beast and by powerful effort threw him to the floor. Colonel I.ovelace sprang to his feet and instantly met his antagonist. The two men clinched in desperate struggle. George Hines was so overcome with liquor that his strength soon failed and he was about to give up in despair when Harry rushed into the room, and seeing his brother weakening, ran to his assistance, and grabbing hold of Colonel Lovelace by desperate effort, hurled him
