When Your Boy Comes from School.

What an appetite he has. How hungry
he is always How the cookies vanish and
the gingerbread disappears before his de-
termined onslaught! He is all noise and
impulse, and warts and freckles! His hands
are dirty; his finger nails trimmed with

shelf in the pantry to clear the way for tine
edibles, and his trousers are torn at the
knees and he smells of fish bait and pep

you love him.

there are no better mothers, nor more
faithful wives, nor mere accomplished
househeepers, nor more delightful guests
than can be found among our present cult
urcd learned and literary women.
All the education in the world will not
eradicate from the feminine nature the
household instincts or the love Of home
and children. Nowhere is real intellectual
training found to weaken the feminine
type: but on the contrary, homes are liner,
richer, more exalted and happier under its
power. 1t brings about a perception of
mutual rights that does not come to this

WOMEN AS DOCTORS,
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
physician in any institution of the
country; and even twenty years ago a
woman physician was next TO a freak in
her community and contemptuouslv
frowned upon by the profession. Now
forty women ara graduated from one
institution in 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 10 as men, they are quite as
well adapted to even the exceptional
1uties referred to as male physicians are
to many delicate duties they now per
form for WON 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
5.onal usefulness, and there are MANY
complaints of their own sex which
should especially command the services
ot women physicians
The world has advanced with wonder
full rapidity during the last century in
the recognition of the rights and cana
billt.es of women. 1t is ony fortv-two
years since married women IN Pennsvl-
yanla had no right over even their own
properly acquired by either inheritance
Or their own labor, and they were then
praet cally 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 which she is at all adapted, and in
medicine, law and science she is now

was the creation of unmixed Ignorance.
ana to-day the only just complaint that
women can make is against the vet pre-
Valent custom of paying women less
than men are paid for precisely the
same service. Women are quite as re-
nned 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.-P hiladeIphia Times.

THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
The Identification of Criminals BY the An.
thropometric Method.

Criminals do not scruple to inter.
change names among themselves. though
by preference they assume those OF
honest men. We have had cases where
men when rearrested have not hes tated
to assume the names of persons they
had at some previous time robbed and
whose exact position they had learned
through the evidence given before the
courts by their victims themselves. In
ternatlonal criminals arrested in foreign
countries or persons giving themselves
out to be foreigners have still greater
facilities for deceiv ng and have no need
to have recourse to these tricks What
ever they may choose to adopt must OF
necessity be accepted as correct, as
there is no means whatever of proving
or disproving its authent city. There
can be but little doubt that in these
cases the international exchange of iu-
dicial records would be a step In the
right direct on; but even that would be
insutfc ent, What useful information
would be obta ned from such records
with reference to a habitual criminal
who had taken the precaution not to
do not a'lude TO the usual description
which generally accompanies these pa
pers--"Chin round, face oval, eyes gray"
etc. which have never led to the recor-
nit on of criminals, save in the realms
of romance. A trained anthropologist
alone would be able to deal suitably
with these descriptions. Photographs
are certainly preferable to descr pit ons
OF any kind, but photogra solves only
a part of our problem. The experiment
tried IN Paris has clearly demonstrated
this
In the course of ten years the police
had made a collection of the photo
graphs of 100, 900 persons. Is it poss Bile
to search through these 100, 600 photo
graphs whenever an arrest is made?
Clearly not The use of photography.
therefore, has not rendered the serv ces
antic pated, and the most guilty and
the most cunning of habitual criminals
continued to obtain the same privileges
ana the same Indulgence which the law
and pr son regulations extend to a
hrst otfense. Inspectors of police and
uperntendents of houses of correction
did, indeed, recognize a certain number
OF these men, on an average about
twenty per month in Paris alone. and

numbnr of criminals have given ur

have found it useless as a means of con-
cealing their Identity and the wardens
OF houses of correct on DO not now find

those who have been long absent from
