Women as Physicians.

I do not hesitate to say, with due defer
ence to the judgment CT others, that in my
opinion 1t is important to the well being of
society that the study of mediciae by Chris
tian women should be continued and ex-
tended. The prejudice that allows women
to enter the profession of nursing and ex-
cudes them from the profession of medicine
cannot be too strongly censured, and its
existence can be explained only by the force
of habit
1t has been urged that women do not as
rule possess the intellectual powers Of
men, bnt their ability to pursue the usual
medical studies has been sufficiently dem.
onstrated, and it is admitted, even by those
who corcede to men higher order of in
tellact and greater powers of ratiocination,
that what women may lack in that drec-
ton seems to be supplied by that logical
instinct with which they have been endow-
ed by God. 1t is evident also that if female
nurses may with propriety attend men as
well as women, that privilege cannot rea-
sonably be withheld from the female physi-
clan. Indeed the position of the nurse
might be regarded as open to much graver
6bJecJions, Inasmuch as the physician makes
but transient visit to the patient, while
, the nurse occupies the sick room day and
night.
The attendance of female physicians up.
on women ia often of incalculable benefit.
Much serious and continued suffering is
undergone by women, and many beginnings
of grave illness are neglected because of the
sense of delicacy which prevents them from
submitting to the professional services of
meu. There is also an infinite number of
cases, known to all who have been concern
ed in charitable or reformatory work. in
which no influence or assistance can be so
etfectual as that of physician who is also
a woman and Christian.
The alienation of suffering for women of
all classes which would result from the pres.
ence among US of an adequate number of
well trained female physicians cannot but
be evident to all; but wish to emphasize
as strongly as possibly the moral influence
of such body, than which there could be
no more potent factor in the moral regen-
Grafton of society.-Cardinol Gibbons in

Different Kinds of Women,

Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes in the La
dies Home Journal for June as follows
There are as many kinds of women as
there are flowers.
THE HANDSOME WOMAN.
There is the Handsome woman, for
instance. She is usually large, and her
features arc regular and strongly outlined.
She may be pale or rosy, but il she has
color, 1t does not suggest warmth. She
may be blonde or brunette, gay or reserved,
animated or reposeful, but never think of
any word but handsome for her. She is
not pretty, lovely. beautiful or charming to
me-. She is handsome. l love to look at
her.
place her with my camelias, dahlias,
hollyhocks, fuchsias and other scentless
but attractive flowers.
THE LOVELY WOMAN.
The s1ovely" woman is quite another
type. She may be small or large, dis
tinctly beautiful, pretty, or merely inter
esting, but she is always spoken of as
slovely." She is seldom forceful in
character Or notioeahly strong; bnt she
possesses an Individuality Of hes own, AID
it is always winning and never aggressive
Without any effort on her part you al ways
feel that she is unselisb, kind hearted and
pure-minded. She praises other women
and enjoys others pleasures, and is
thoughtful in small things. She is a great
favorite with her own sex, and men give
her an idolized sort of friendship which is
very apt to grow into affection if they are
much in her society.
| place this woman among my sweet
lilies, thornless roses and sprays of mig
norette.
THE DESIGNING WOMAN.
Then there is the 'designing'' woman,
with the fair face and voluptuous form,
who is polite in all she says or does She
some where in the folds of her costly robe
worships jewels. She seeks the love of m en-
who can advance her interests and in
crease her revenue, and she considers
nothing immoral that is not found out.
She belongs with the uncanny cactus
plants, and the gorgeous hued tropical
flowers from which deadly poisons are dis
titled.
The INTELLECTUAL WOMAN.
Then there is the distinctly 'iotelec
tual" woman, who is SO alarmingly well
informed on all subjects, and SO anxious to
have you realize her mental superiority
She has thought on every subject under
and over the spn, and has formed her con-
victions on all matters, and the instant you
breach a subject she hastens to assure you
that she knows all about it.
A very small fiavoring of this vegetable
Is all ones taste requires.
THE USEFUL GIRL.
The ''usefuli' cir! lie another type. She
can sew, get a dinner if need be, amuse
children. Everybody makes usa of her,
and everybody likes her. She has no enc
mics and no lovers.
She is like thu green "everlasting," OF
old-fashionea ''liys forever" plaut-scent.
less and not beautiful, yet indispensable in
a garden.

HAWKERS AND PEDDLERS.

What ear splitting cries We hear daily in
the streets of every large city. But these
itinerant dealers who hawk their wares
about are, when nnder proper restrictions,
a useful portion of the community, and not
such nusances as the catarrh hawkers.-
This lie stubborn disease to conquer, but
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy does it. 1t is
mild, soothing and antissptic, unlike snuffs
that irritate, Or solutions that burn. II
corrects offensive breath, and reatores taste,
smell and hearing. Nasal oatarrh often
ends in consumption. Apply the only cure
in time. Price so cents, by all druggists

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

In all diseases OF the nasal mucous mem.
braue the remedy used must be non-irri-
tating. The medical profession has been
slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory
can be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders Or syringes because they are all
irritating, dc not thoroughly reach the at
feoted surfaces and should hs abandoned as
worse than failures. A multitude of per-
sons who had for years borne all the worry
and pain that catarrh can infict testify tC

Heavier Engines Bound TO Come.

The demand OF the time is 10 move
weight over distance at the least pos
sible cost TO it on slow freight or fast
passenger trains. There are hun
dreds of locomotives Of about forty
tons weight, capable Of hauling
train of 100 tons at the average run
ming rate Of sixty miles an hour. But
that is not the kind Of fast trains that
our railroad managers want. They
are required to make money for the
companies employing them. and they
realize that it pays much better TO use
locomotives weighing sixty tons that
are capable OF hauling fast train Of
800 tons.
1t is a curious study, and one that
is interesting to some minds, to inves-
tigate the rapid speed that might be
made with safety with locomotives
having abnOrmally large drivers, but
as far a. the bearing on American
railroad operating is concerned. II Is
