WOMEN IN MEDICINE.
No Direction in Which Female Aptitud
Can Find Greater Usefulness.

No Direction in Which Female Aptitude
Can Find Greater Usefulness.
1t can not any longer be said that wo'
mans sphere is limited to mere house
| hold economies, and that the employ
ment of her skill and ability has no re-
lation to the happiness and comfort OF
the world at large. Perhaps there is nc
direction in which her particular apti-
tudes can find greater usefulness than
in connection with medicine and sur.
gerry. While it is scarcely forty years
since the first woman graduate in medi-
cine received her diploma In this country,
the number of female practitioners in
medicine is every year on the increase,
and not q few of them have obtained high
rank in the profession. We find women
in all our hospitals equipping themselves
not merely as nurses, but for the service
of humanity as experts in the healing
art, and the facilities for medical train
ing are constantly increasing.
A most significant movement in this
direction is that which has taken shape
in connection with the Johns Hopkins
University and Hospital. The some-
what straitened financial condition of
that institution has suggested to many
prominent women of the country the
possibility of contributing to it's relief,
and at the same time fastening the es-
tablishment of medical school in
which the benefits of the highest medi-
cal training shall be afforded. To this
end they propose to raise the sum of $780,
000, which is to he given to the trustees on
the distinct condition that women whose
previous training has been equivalent
to that of an ordinary preliminary medi-
cal course shall be admitted to the in
stitution on precisely the same terms as
men. Committees are at work in six OF
the principal cities, including Boston
and San Francisco, and considerable
contributions have already been made
to the furtherance of the movement. II
is not designed that this medical school
shall take the place of the ordinary
schools for women now in existence
but that it shall supply opportunities
for that advanced medical training
which they are now obliged to seek in
foreign schools. The prominence of the
ladies engaged in this enterprise, to-
gether with the obvious desirablHness
of tho school proposed, leave no room
for doubt that it will be successful.
We can see no reason why women
should not be admitted on an equality
with men in all our educational institu-
tions, of whatever character. Whatever
woman is able to do we'll and efficiently
without sacrifice of the primal relation
which she holds to society, she should
be permitted to do and helped to do.
Since her influence is tho supreme
factor in every great moral reform, and
is rapidly becoming prime influence in
all social progress, it certainly is desir-
able that no obstacle should be placed
in the way of the largest possible utili.

No Light from That Text.

1t Is not always safe at critical mo-
ments in ones life to rely upon receiv-
ing guidance from the passage of Scrip
ture which the eye may fall upon. An
earnest Christian layman who was in
the leather business in this city was in
great perplexity not long ago over COM
plications in his business. Thinking
the problem over in his office, from
which he could view in the warehouse
piles of leather and skins of one sort
and another, he resolved to try the ex-
pedient commended to him by devout
souls of resorting to the Bible He hap
pened to open to the eleventh chapter
OF Hebrews, and the first words his eyes
struck were these: "They went about in
sheepskins and goatskins." He still be-
lieves, however, that the good book
contains piles of comfort and COUNSEL

Marketing Strawberries.

When we begin picking, writes Presi-
dent Smith, of the Wisconsin Horticult-
ural Society, the boys and girls are en-
gagged ahead. Each picker has two
boxes-one to put perfect berries in, the
other for small ones. Then boy whose
business is to carry boxes takes the
flied boxes and leaves the empty ones.
He puts the filed boxes In crate. and
when this is full, it is carried by an
other boy to the cellar on wheelbarrow
with springs on it. They stay here un-
til thoroughly cooled. We sometimes
use ice to do this. They are handled as
little as possible. We make our own
crates of lath, nailed on to end boards
of lumber of the right width. We drive
to market on walk. Each crate holds
16 boxes. The fruit is carefully taken
to the depot, but after leaving our hands
it is sometimes abused by express
agents. 1t takes seven laths to make
16-qt. crate. A boy will put up one in 10
minutes. A 24-qt csate can be made at
cost of not over five cents. We place
three laths on the sides. sometimes
bribe the express boys not to steal the
berries by Offering them all they can
eat.

SMALL-BORE RIFLES.
The Wounds They Infiict Far Less Serious
Than Those Made by the Old Guns.

The Wounds They Infiict Far Less Serious
Than Those Made by the Old Guns.
The adoption of small-bore rifles by
most European countries~-Switzerla
now employing rs and millimeters
(25 nm. being very nearly an inch),
France s, Belgium 76, instead of the
hitherto universally used IL mm.-leads
to the consideration of what the effect
on the human body will be of the in
creased penetration of these bullets,
which can pass through iron plates of
~ nm. (nearly half an inch) and deal
planks IL meter (about yard in thick
ness, penetration five or six times as
great as that of the projectiles hitherto
employed in the German army. Prof
Paul Bruins, the well-known surgeon of
Tubingen, has published work which
attempts to give an eXperimentally
scientific answer to this important
question. His experiments were made
with the Belgian Mauser rifle, and tho
conclusion he has come to must be con-
sidered in all respects satisfactory
from human point of view. He
asserts that the hydraulic pressure in
the wound is much diminished, partly
on account of the smaller diameter of
the bullet and partly on account of the
spring action of tho thin steel coating
which surrounds the soft lead core of
the new projectile, so that the extern
sive tearing of the soft tissues of tho
body, such as the old lead bullets used
to cause-and which often gave rise to
the erroneous idea shat explosive bull
lots were employed-will not occur.
The new projectile which, at 100 meters,
passes through four or five limbs and
smashes up three thigh bones placed |
one behind the other, makes a smooth |
cylindrical opening of less diameter than
itself through flesh. The wound where |
the bullet enters is generally of less
diameter than itself; the exit is slit or
star-shaped opening with torn edges
about to nm. wide. At a longer
range, 400 to 1900 yards, the bones are
not shattered, but bored through in
clean hole or channel. Hence, according
to DIR. Bruins, the chances of healing
bullet wounds will, Notwithstanding the
greater efficiency of the new rifle, be
much moro favorable than in the case
of the larger bores. So it would appear
that In all cases progress in the art of
war leads to the diminution of human
suffering. Land und Nicer.

Starting with Poultry.

The questions, how many fowls to
keep, the best variety to begin with,
and how to manage profitably, come up
to the farmer with his first thought
upon the subject of keeping poultry.
He should not enter new field Of en-
terprise hastily, anticipating more than
he can make his stock produce for him.
If he has suitable accommodations, one
hundred, or even fifty, blooded fowls
are ample. They can be made to pay a
larger net profit than double the num-
ber of ordinary dung-hill stock. For
the farm, the Light Bfahma, Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte and White Dorking
are among the best. The white varie-
ties look better about the barn. The
Barred Plymouth Rock, Langshan,
Laced Wyandotte, and Java are also ex-
cellent. A farmer who carefully
studies the best ways of handling his
poultry is taught by his own observa-
tlon and experience how to manage
them profltably.-American Agricult-
