There is spot that in my breast
Fond memory clings and loves TO rest;
1t Is the home where first knew
A mothers love 81 kind and true.
No mansion stands with oaken door,
No gilded dome. no marble floor.
No river deep no rolling tide
Only the cot where mother died.
Though fieeting years have left decay.

And meath the caves with moses hung.

And then it seems I'm Young again.

Remember that the best friend the
best confidante, is your mother. Have
no friend with whom she is not ac-
quainted. Make her interested in what
you are doing, and if the trials of her
life are many, just remember that to
gain sympathy you must give it. Make
yourself your mothers companion and
friend, and then she will be yours. Do
nothing that you Conceal from her, and
never believe for a minute that when
you have really made her understand,
she will not care for what interests you.
Mother isn't so very much older than
you after all-it hasn't been such long
time since she enjoyed just what you
do since life seemed as full of bright
ness as does yours, since she made as
many inquiries and tried to think out
as many problems as you do, and once
you two can meet on this common
ground, be sure that you will have no.
body who will as Thoroughly sympathize
with you as does your mother.-Ladies'

WOMEN AS PHYSICIANS.

A Likely Possibility That Before Many
Years They VIII Have Become Import
ant and Popular Members of Every
Community.
The graduation of nine women as
physicians from the New York Medical
College for Women quickly succeeded
the graduation of the fourteen women
lawyers from the university of the city
of New York. All the reasons which
support the fitness of women for the
bar can be urged in favor Of their
entrance on the field of medicine. The
keenness and quickness of an educated
womau's mental processes, the ability
in which she far surpasses men in intu-
itively grasping truths, her hatred OF
wrong and her prompt sympathy for
every kind of suffering, all point to her
capacity for both the great professions
of law and medicine. But in addition
to this there is most important argu-
ment to be urged in favor of women
physicians by far the greater portion
of medical patients in the United States
are women, And in medicine, as in
most other things, no one can minister
so naturally and effectively to the needs
of women as women themselves The
experiment is not new one, Women
have already achieved certain measure
of success as physicians. They have
been greatly hampered by inadequate
educational facilities and the force of
conservatism, which is nowhere more
potent than among the feminine sex.
But in all directions the paths of educa-
ton are being opened to women who
have the intelligence and energy to
take advantage of them, and the preju-
dice against women's work outside the
home circle is lessening very rapidly.
1t would be rash to prophesy but il
does not seem impossible tkat before
the noon of the twentieth century is
reached women may have established
themselves, beyond all question, as
skilled and generally popular physi
clans of their own sex-N. Y. Press.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Why So Many Intelligent and Attractive
Women in This Country Remain Unmar-
ried.
The editor of the Chautauquan re-
Gently received from an unknown cor
respondent the question, "Why are
there so many intelligent and attractive
unmarried women in this country when
there are more men than women An
editorial in a recent issue of that maya
zine contains the reply, from which we
quote: The argument is that the nicer
cultivation of the taste and of the crit
zeal faculty has extended in our day far
beyond the social limits within which
it was confined even a generation ago.
The standards by which it judges peo-
pie are higher and severer, and accord
ingly the number of satisfactory and
mplementary mates for those who
possess it is greatly reduced, since,
wide as has been the extension of re-
finement, the circle of the cultivated
and the delicately sensitive still eX-
cludes the great mass of society, with
whom the finer minds and the choicer
spirits find little congenial association.
Their own intellectual and spiritual de-
velopment also tends to make them
self-sufflcient, and it opens up to them
occupations and brings to them distrac-
tions which make compensation for the
loss of the support and companionship
of marriage. In proof of this general
ization, statistics are adduced to show
that the decline in the marriage rate is
among the more cultivated, and not
among the humble and simple,
1t is undoubtedly true, also that in
our day the spread of refinement and of
intellectual cultivation, in this country
more especially, has been greater
among women than among men. Criti-
cal foreign visitors generally agree in
the opinion that our American women
are superior to the mon in those partic-
ulars, probably because they have more
leisure in which to crafty their ambi-
ton for such improvement The vast
majority of the readers of books are
women, not merely of fiction but of all
literature which cultivates the taste
and enlightens the spirit. The men,
willingly or unwillingly, are engaged
in fight for material prizes; the wom-
en- are accommodating intellectual and
spiritual treasures by the reading and
the thought for which they have greater
opportunity, and thus are creating a
gulf of separation between themselves
and the men with whom they are
brought into association.
