IN WOMAN'S WORLD.

OF the seven hundred physicians prac-
ticing in San Francisco fifty-six are
women.
Miss AMELIA B. EDWARDS has lcc-
tured at Wellesley and Smith Colleges,
to the great pleasure and profit of the
students.
The nurses of Rockville, H., have
formed an association and publish the
Journal of Practical Nursing. They are
interested in forming similar organiza-
tions in other places.
A LAW school for the purpose of giving
to the ladies of New York and others
the opportunity to study law and to
qualify themselves for the management
of their own affairs, has been started.
A WoRKINGwoMEN's Union has been
started in Los Angeles. 1t aims to es-
tablish lunch and dining room and
gymnasium as soon as possible, and
will, doubtless. do great amount OF
good.
EIGHT HUNDRED salesgirls in Berlin
belong to union which has had re-
markable success. For ten cents a
month they receive medical care, medi-
cine and help in getting work. The or
ganization was started by a woman's
club in that city.
THE two college girls who ran news
paper in Jersey have tired Of their
work. They succeeded better than
many men could have done. When
they decided little while ago to aban-
don their business there was great re-

Miss RICHARDS, formerly of the Bos-
ton training school, is superintendent of
the first Christian training school for
nurses in Japan in connection
with the Doshisha Hospital This
training school and hospital will be the
basis Of contemplated medical school
in connection with Doshisha College.
THE facilities for according an ad-
vanced education to women are rapidly
multiplying. A new college for women
was recently opened in Baltimore, under
the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Another important stepin this
direction, is the decision of the trustees
OF Columbia College, that the proposed
annex may be established to give women
! the full benefit of the college corps of
instructors, etc. Records Of the colleges
} in Europe and this country show that
women equal and often surpass men in
scholarship.
BALTIMORE has very successful home

There is little difference in the cost
of wooden and paper boats. Every club
that now rows on New York, New En-
gland and Southern waters has shells of
both materials, and as far as endurance,
utility and cost for repair are concerned,
they are about equal The Atalantas,
the crack New York club and the
amateur champions of the United
States, say that the papier mache craft
are more easily repaired when injured
than the cedar boats. A paper boat can
be patched almost anywhere, and no one
would know thati had been damaged. A
wooden boat shows its patches and is al
ways weakest where it has been mended.
1t is not nearly so liable to injury, how
ever, as the paper shell, which suffers
from abrasions, exposure and the action
of the water, the latter sometimes re-
ducing parts of the she'll to a pulpy
condition.
"a good cedar eight, with full set of
sweeps and side-rig will cost $780," said
a prominent boat-builder. "a paper one

sixty feet by twenty-five inches beam
might be had for little less. lregard the
paper boats just as good for all ordinary
purposes as the best wooden ones, but
for racing it lacks the stiffness necessary
to great speed. This defect might be
remedied by making the boats of thicker
material. They would be heavier, OF
course, but not great deal The thick

On one occasion George Johnston made
a 200-mile trip out on the ocean in
Tighe's boat, and Wallace Ross, the
famous oarsman, said he would engage
to cross the Atlantic in her if the stakes
were big enough. A she'll of this minia-
ture would cost $780,
"The best qualities OF boat can
never be brought out in shoal water"
said an old oarsman and coach"
"The reason is that you throw the
wash from the front oars and retard
the progress of the boat at the back.
There is not enough life in the water to
carry the wash clear of the sides. 1t is
just like the difference between ground
swell and the ocean swell. In shoal
you stir up the water completely from
the surface to the bottom, and it slides

In rowing in dead or shoal water you
throw up rollers behind like steam

leave trail, behind showing that the
life in the water has carried off the wash
instead of letting it roll up against the
sides and stern of your shell. Any oars
man ought to tell by glancing at the
stern whether his boat is in shoal or
deep water. If he wants to get the best
work out of boat and crew let him steer
clear of dead water and get out in the

different method that was far ahead of
our own. This has been all the more
apparent from the fact that many of the
amateur crews on thN Thames showed
they were able to give the water to our
professionals.
Our oarsmen were slow to change their
methods. They didn't want to initiate
the English shells They experimental
good deal with different models of
boats at home, and tried various kinds
of rowing gear. The crack professionals
were quick to grasp the idea that the
lightest and swiftest shells were of
cedar, and that very much depended
upon the rig. Others principally ANA
teurs, clung to papier mache boats for
singles and doubles. And so the war
between paper and wood went on, in an
intermittent fashion, each side having
its advocates. Yale, Harvard and the
colleges generally took languid inter-
est in it, and gave more attention to
training than to the material or rig of
the boats.
Racing clubs everywhere are interesting
themselves in the new departure, which
promises to change not only the rig of
our racing-shells but the general lines
of the boats to some extent. The old
fashioned sliding seat set in grooves
has given way to the roller seat which
moves on wheels 1t is no longer to be
in the center of the boat, Immediately
over the keel, but on the side, and it
will have an oblique motion, to corre-
spond with the natural motion of the
body in the boat.
This improved side-rig is different in
many respects from the English Many
of the Oldest oarsmen opposed
the change at first, just as they
opposed the introduction of the ad-
Unstable rowlock and the sliding seat
years ago, but they have come
to regard the new rig in diff
ferent light since seeing it in use
by experts on the Harlem and by some
of the college crews. The sweeps used
with the new rig are of the Donohue
pattern, those for shells being 10 feet
long and 22x7 inches at the blade. The
blade in the best is ribbed and grooved
so that it may have better hold of the
water, plain blade often proving toe
flexible in strong tides. The sweeps fol
sculls are 0 feet long, the blade being
the same as in the shells. They are
all made of spruce, fully seasoned
These have the largest blades of any
oar yet designed, all authorities agree
ing that the man with the larger blade
has the better leverage.
American oarsmen are still undecided
whether paper or cedar is the better ma
terial for racing shells, At the presen
time there is not one eight-oared she'll o
wood of American make in use in thi
country. On the other hand, very near
ly all the singles and doubles are o
cedar. The great champions, with ont
exception, have all won their victories
in shells of wood. Hanlan, Teemer

using no other kind than cedar-buil

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW.

Withhold all eulogies when am dead
All noisy sorrow;
Give me the tender word to-day instead
OF tears tomorrow.
Come not with flowers TO strew above my breast
And sigh for me there.
The hawk or crow may haunt the piny crest:
shall not be there.
Speak not my namo, when I have passed from
earth
In tones OF sadness;
AT thought of me repress no note OF mirth,
No burst OF gladness.
Regard me not as altered when removed
To the hereafter;
Think OF me still as loving and as loved
With Joy and laughter.
Delay not, thou whom have wounded sore,
Till thou outlive me
To grant the pardon that here implore;
But now forgive me.
Pretend not that merit sanity fame;
Let Mercy save me;
Sufficient for my epitaph the name
My mother gave me.
