A State street physician gives it as his
opinion that four.fifths Of the earnings
of his profession are derived from wo-
men. though in this estimate he does not
include the very large and prosperous
class of specialists whose services are re-
quired by men only. II Is sad eotn-
mentary upon the morals the conn
munity the existence and Tosperity Of
hundreds Of such slecial = for men. and
the picture Is less encouraging ON the
other side. where ~ many women with
health impaired by foolish dressing, inn
proper diet and violations Of the laws Of
nature, maintain an army Of medical
practitioners. Ii is only among ciyilizol
peoples that women are less heaithfnl
than men, let doctors and the common
surmise tell why this is so. Tie fact re-
mains that there may be seen ON the
streets of Chicago twenty strong, hand

port which preceded Bonaparte's return
from Eba.
When the return had been plotted, and
Just before IL was executed. Napoleon u
partisans went through France seeking
land to purchase. When about TO close
the bargain for field, they would ask TO
be shown the title,
II they found, as they generally did.
that the field was land which had been
coniiscated at the Revolution, they broke
off the negotiation at once. The title,
they declared, was insecure; for the
Bourbon government of Louis XVIII did
not recognize the legality of the act of
-confiscation.
Their acts and words spread through
out France the rumor that the BourbOns
meditated the resumption Of all these
lands-the chief part of Franee-to re-
store them 10 the former owners. The
rnmor, thus artfully started and spread
abroad, caused thousands of peasant pro-
prietors TO welcome Napoleon's s return.
