Words Of Advice to Young Women Who
Would Be Doctors.

A wonderful change in respect to female
labor has rapidly developed within the last
half century. A vast number of the common
schools have passed into the hands of women
with a manifest gain in the cause of educa
ton, as well as to that of the sex. Women
fill clerkships in almost every department OF
industry. At least as many women as men
stand behind counters. They have largely
taken possession of the lighter forms of labor
introduced by the utilizing of electricity.
The foundation OF colleges for women and
the opening to them of some of the older col.
leges have prepared the way for their intro
duction into the various professions. We al
ready have successful female lawyers, minis
tiers, artists and especially doctors.
Some of our female doctors stand on ar
equality with their medical brethren 10 cul
ture, reputation and success, and the tenden
cy toward this profession on the part of young
women now graduating at our higher liter
| airy institutions is one to be encouraged.
The natural instincts of women are in this
direction. 1t is this that makes them so much
at home in the sick room, and such angels OF
mercy in the military hospitals. The field
for them is broad and remunerative. They
need to accompany the foreign missionary
everywhere. They are best suited to minis
ter to their own sex and to children general
ly.
But they must prepare themselves more
thoroughly for the work, adding to the dis
cipline of the college the fullest mastery O:
medicine that can be furnished by first class
medical schools. They cannot rely upon any
telling Of gallantry here. 1t must be seer
that they are the equals of their brothers.
Further, we are sorry to say that it is moi
infrequently the case that members of the
medical profession are at present unequal 10
their responsibilities. 1t has been too easy
to get medical diplomas. School has com
peted against school, to the injury of the pro
tession and the peril of the sick. Our best
medical schools recognize and deplore this
condition of things and are doing what they
| can to improve it.
We say, therefore, to young ladies that the
field is open to them, with the pioneer work
already done. But let none enter it who is
not suited to the work by native tact, self re
lance and what may be called physical and
moral hardihood.

What Denomination.

asked an old colored preacher of young
colored couple down South" who had
brought an infant to him for baptism. "Sah ?"
said the young father, evidently perplexed by
the word denomination" II axed you OBJ
what denomination de chile war;" repeated
the minister, little severely. The parents
looked at each other in evident confusion for
a moment; then the father stammered out !;

preacher scornfully. "Well, den, I'll simplify

"Why isn't that an h in there?" The
squire pointed to the word, as he viewed it
through his glasses.

"S'liny, the Perkipses have come-the

He sat down impressively on the nearest
nail keg. eff this Government expects I'm
going to spend my time making out its pos
tai cards to get news, it's going to find itself
much mistaken, that's all"
He went back to the postoffice with his
new determination and a detected air. His
perquisite had lost its value, and such open
communications in Uncle Sans mail were
thereafter passed by unnoticed. When his
lessened stock of information became mat
ter of comment, as occurred very soon, he
had but one explanation.

ed on
But to s 'liny he remarked cts losing bus
mess attending to other folks affairs without

So it is question whether his disastrous
speculation ever forced upon him convic-
tion of the truth in Jake Perkins's opinion,
delivered to Raj with knowing chuckle:
"The squire hain't got as much of nose

sites pay best when they're taken on the

distressing Oversight.

The most famous view in the Yosemite
valley is that from Inspiration Point where
the traveller gets his first sight of the whole
valley.
1t is splendid birds eye sweep, in which
are gathered more scehic wonders than are
contained in an equal space elsewhere in the
world.
A gentleman who has recently visited the
Pacific coast described the hush which fell
upon the occupants of the stage coach as the
driver pulled up his horses at this point.
Their delight and enthusiasm were too keen
to be put into words.
The silence lasted for minute or two.
Then a woman on the back seat suddenly ex-
claimed, with mighty sigh, expressive of the
deepest feeling:
ooh, my! 1 wonder why they don't have
lace curtains at the Wawona hotelS"

THOMAS SHERIDAN.

Thomas Sheridan, for aquarter OF
a century a resident of Ottawa cOun-
nty, died ut his residence, near Lamont
on Monday, Oct. 26. in 74th year OF
his age The deceased. a man of
great individuality and strength OF
character, was born near Drimcree, in
the county of West Meath, Ireland,
1916. Hereceiyed few educational ad-
vantages, but being lad of unusal
brightness ana ambition he applied
himself to the Study of such books as
fell into his hands, and at the age of
Is or 20 had attained respectable pro-
ficiency as a. civil engineer. In this
capacity he was employed i'm RESPONSE
BILE positions in the government enter
prises Ofcreating the celebrated Php-
nix Park near Dublin and in the res
toration of the Holyrood Palace
grounds, Edinburgh. Lured by those
promises which have tempted many
Il man to cross the sea, young Sheri-
dan came to America in 1913. He soon
found professional employment in
Canada, but the exposure threatening
his health, crossed the line to ROches-
ter, N. Y, and soon after obtained Il
position as assistant engineer in con-
structiOn of q section of the Erie rail
way, near Elmira. That completed.
he removed to Canada, where he pur-
sued the quiet occupation of Il farmer
until tweny five years ago, when he
purchased the farm near Lamont
where hepassed his remaining years.
Mr.. Sheridan was man of great
moral worth and keen intelligence,
with habit ofpainstaking thorough
ness i'm every work to which he gave
ention. He was an eager reader,
especially of books ola historical ma
ture. and for many years when the
days work was done on the farm he
would turn to his favOrite books or
gather the home circle around him
and read for their instruction. Hc
was fond of argument upon all deba-
table question, his Irish wit serving
him an excellent turn in giving piqu-
ancy to his discourse. Although be-
longing to no church he was deeply
and consistently religious. As n
neighbOr he WIS peaceable and help
full, and in his family relations affect
tomato and kind. In1S43 he married
Susan Lambert, who survives him
and by whom he had seven children
all of whom are living. About we elk
ago he was stricken with upuD exy.

lied I hon the hour of translation.
