WOMEN AS. DOCTORS.
A Profession to which the Sex Seems to j
EapecIalIy Adaute<l.

Profession to which the Sex seems to BE
Especially Adapted.
The Woman's Medical College Of this
city graduated forty physicians last
week. Forty years ago there was no
opportunity for woman to graduate as
a physician in any institution of the
country; and even twenty years ago a
woman physician was next to a freak in
her community and contemptuously
frowned upon by the profession. Now
forty women are graduated from one
institution in a day, and there is a-gen-
eral popular welcome Of the, softer sex
to the practice of medicine
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 be as we'll
adapted to as men, they are quite as
we'll adapted to even the exceptional
duties referred to as male physicians are
to many delicate duties they now per-
form for women without complaint. In
large majority OF the ailments to which
humanity-is subject, women physicians,
with equal intelligence and skill, are
certainly the equal of men in profess
sional usefulness, and there are many
complaints of their ownmsex which
should especially command the services
of women physicians.
The world has advanced with wonder
full rapidity during the last century in
the recognition of the rights and capa-
hilitiaa ~ woman II Is onlv fortv-two
years since married women in Pennsyl-
vania had no right over even their own
property acquired by either inheritance
or their own labor, and they were then
practically unknown as clerks and sales
women; were little known as teachers,
and the professions were regarded as
entirely beyond their reach. Now the
world has learned that woman is entitled
to just an even chance in every calling
to whieh-she is at all adapted, and in
medicine, law and science she is now
teacher and practitioner. The old preju
dice against unsexing women by giving
them any opportunity outside of tho
Kitchen, the laundry and the, nursery,
was the creation of unmixed ignorance,
and to-day the only Just complaint that
women can make is against the yet pre-
yalent custom of paying women less
than men are paid Tor precisely the
same service. Women are quite as re-
fined now as they were when unknown
in the great battles Of life, and the
whole tendency of the age is toward the
only manly theory of giving women fair
play all around. --Philadelphia Times.

A TRAVELLERS TROUBLES.


When we have rushed with might and mali
; *rd done our best TO catch train
And get there just in time to gain
The rear end n we're quick. IL
Fills our soul with wrath and woe
To see 1t in the distance 90
The while we have to stop and show
The gate-kccpcr our ticket.
il makes us almost want to swear
To have him keep US standing there;
We watch the train and In despair
Decide that We can not catchft.
We turn our pockets inside out,
We tear our hair and storm about,
And dance war dance while we shout
But still it doesn't fetch 1T.
Not TIL the train Is out OF sight
Can VIE our ticket bring TO light;
1t makes us mad enough to fight
Oh, miserable reficctionl
But then 1t Is our smiles awake;
We're very glad we didn't make
The train which we had sought to take;
It went the wrong direction.

The. farmers have good deal to
learn on the subject of taxation. while
they are complaining OF State ami local
takes and the crushing weight Of their
mortgages, they forget the National
taxes and the blessings of the protective
policy for which they are paying. 1t is
in reality the National taxes that are
crushing them. They sell the products
of their land at prices fixed by COMPETE
ton in the markets of the world. They
pay for what they buy at prices a ked by
tariff that enables monopolies and
combinations OF manufacturers to draw
enormous profits from the consumers Of
their products. That is where the
farmers burden comes from.--A Y.
