WOMEN IN PHARMACY.
A Pleasant Profession That Any Woman
of Refinement Might Seek.

A Pleasant Profession That Any Woman
of Refinement Might Seek
The employment of women In phar-
macy is receiving general attention
abroad Frau Schulrat Gamer, in Ger.
many, has recently presented petit
ton numerously signed 10 the prussian
reichstag in favor of admitting women
to this profession. The petitioners
base their demand on historic right,
and recall the fact that for centuries
and until the middle of the eighteenth
century the preparation of medicine
was almost wholly in the hands OF
women; that women apothecaries, who
were examined by learned physicians,
were given the right to prepare and
sell drugs, and many of them enjoyed a
high reputa ton in the business. The
petition also claims that about the mid
die of the eighteenth century narrow
minded jealousics of women arose, and
desire to drive them from all lucra'
tive handiworlx to make place for men
resulted in their almost absolute eXclu'
sion from this calling. They argue
that the profession of the druggist de-
mands no great bodily exertion, nor
any undue publicity which should rem
der it difficult for women or unwoman-
ly. 1t is as womanly calling as that
of a teacher or saleswoman. Physi'
clans testify, according to this petition,
that women are far superior to men
in the fulfllment of all sanitary duties,
in punctual obedience to a physicians
orders, in dexterity and dizziness"
The calling of a druggist demands
certain scientific study and prepare
ton, which women have certainly
shown themselves able to master. The
laws in this state require this study and
preparation, besides service for term
of years in drugstore and q certificate
from the state board of pharmacy.
There is no prohibition in our laws
against women in this calling. In Rus
STA, Belgium and Holland women have
passed pharmaceutical examinations
and devoted themselves successfully to
the profession. 1t is at least more ind
pendent calling than that of nurse,
which demands in nearly every case a
great deal of individual patience, be-
sides bodily exertion. A nurse has as
much responsibility in the administra,
ton of medicine as a druggist in the
preparation of it. The calling Of g
druggist is, moreover, one which any
woman of refinement might seek. IN,

selection, have made none at all. 1t
has not been lack of opportunity for
marital contract on their part, but their
own culture and refinement, and their
exalted ideas as to what husband
ought to be, have caused their declina-
ture. There have been so many wom-
en- who married imbeciles, or ruffians,
or lifetime incapables, or magnificent
nothings, or men who before marriage
were angelic and afterwards diabolic,
that other women have been alarmed
and stood back. They saw so many
boats go into the maelstrom that they
steered into other waters. Better for a
woman to live alone, though she lives
for hundred years. than to be annexed
to one of these masculine failures with
which society is surfeited. The patron
saint of almost every family circle is
some such unmarried woman, and
among all the families of cousins she
moves around, and her coming in each
house is the morning and her going
away is the night. -Talmage, in N. Y.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Ten or twelve hens can be kept on
nearly every farm with profit.
PUT lump of lime in the drinking
vessel
BOILED peas or beans make good
poultry food during the winter.
On the farm where the fowls can be
given good range poultry meat ought
to be grown at a very low cost.
WITH turkeys the best breeding stock
is two years old. When young fowls
are used the earliest Matched should be
selected.
The only way to pick fowls dry and
clean without tearing them is to do the
work as soon as they are killed, while
the body is warm.
TURKEYS are so restless when con
fined that in fattening the time should
be made as short as possible; ten days
or two weeks is ample.
UNLESS the hens are laying more
regularly than is usual at this season
it is not necessary to feed literally
those that are to be wintered over.
LACK of variety in their food will
sometimes cause the hens to lose appe'
tite, so that whenever they refuse their
food it will be found a good time tc
change the diet
LINsEED meal brightens the plumagt
of the fowls; it also regulates the
bowels and promotes digestion. Care
should be taken not to feed too much
THERE is a good market now for the
quills of all kinds of fowls, especially
for the tail feathers of the turkeys

Not For the Love of Work.

1t is hardly to he supposed that, aside
from work which is determined by
special aptitude or genius, women vol
unfairly engage in business from the
love of it. They feel that they have a
right to comforts which their labor can
procure for them, and being compelled
to earn a living, choose the more fa-
vored pursuits, and as architects, ply.
sicians, lawyers, reporters, clerks and
stehegfaphers, enjoy better health,
more liberty and recognized social
position that otherwise they never
could secure. -Chicago Graphic.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people de-
serve credit for the best grade of illustra-
tions now being used for advertising pur-
poses. The series of full-page drawings
which have been appearing on the last page
of the Century represent some of the most
capable book and magazine artists in the
country. The series must have cost no
small figure. AS yet the "way up" artists
do not sign the work they do for advertis-
ers, but | apprehend that it will not be long
ere we shall see in the advertising columns
such names as George Wharton Edwards

to their work, besides mere mechanical

command scarcely less interest than when

GOOD WORDS FOR THEM.

The inventor who can perfect a de-
vice that will register automatically
every fare on street car will be likely
to obtain the rewards of his mental toll
somewhat sooner than if he devoted it
to the creation of flying machines to
Supersede surface transit. 1t is stated
by an authority in that section that
every street car line in New York en-
ploys from forty tossiXty spoilers, who
are paid 20 cents per round trip to see
that the conductor rings up every fare.
If the statement is not exaggerated, a
sporadic sort of ethics must obtain in
the street car service of the big city.
The subject was brought to mind by the
statement of st. Paul citizen yester-
DAY. He said he some time since had
an impression that the registry device
was very Ineffective restraint upon
the street car conductor, and that
the mutually between that official
and his company would make his po-
sition about on par with that of the
away-up men Of the company. The
gentleman was so impressed with this
idea thathe was thinking of applying
for position as conductor in order to
be able to retire at an early day to the
luxurious ease of private life. But first,
having occasion to ride ON some of the
lines every day, he constituted himself
as sort of Spotter. He watched and
kept diary every day for month. but
was surprised at the meagernesS of the
results. His conclusions were that cases
of deliberate Touchdown were not
common enough and of sufficient vol
ume TO keep the men in tobacco. At
times, when the cars were packed like
SardineS, he was able to note from three
to half dozen cases that were over
looked in the collection of fares, but
those that were paid were all
rung up. His faith in conduct
ors was immensely elevated He
still believed that it was quite
possible for an expert man to save
a dollar or two day in this way, but it
is not being done to any considerable
extent. In mis- estimation. the use of
spoilers was calculated to stimulate de-
vices to beat the company. and often
the spoilers invited the trick they were
set TO watch and divided the proceeds.
On the st. Paul lines he was also sur
-priSed to note that the gripman acted as
assistant conductor and saved him nu-
merous fares on the grip. The New
York car lines evidently need the Paul
inc integrity in their conductors, and, in
default of that, should rent out the cars
by the day or week to conductors. as
stablemen rent cabs to their drivers. 1t
is not exactly the thing to say good
words of street car men, but they seem
to merit them.

composed of those who have any theories

bigotry. They are among those who
