WOMAN AS A STUDENT.

Woman has strikingly shown what she can do in Iowa college. Experience in educating young women there does not go to show them incapable, either mentally or physically, of doing collegiate work. In 1884 six girl students were entered in the degree courses and thirty-fve in the so-called t'literary course," which doubt less had little significance in itself; but at present there are sixty-fve studying for degrees and only eighteen are registered in the old time Literary course" In other words, the number of young women en- gagged in full college work is 79 per cent. now, against IA per cent. six or seven years ago. As for the rank attained in competition with their brothers, it is said that record has been kept for nine terms in each of the four college classes, and that the average standing of the woman was above that of the men in every term but one during freshman and junior years, in all the sophomore terms and in all but two of those in the senior year; and in two of these instances the average of the women was not below, but simply equal to, that of the men. Put in another way this means that their average was the higher in thirty-two terms out of thirty-six.
 This is good record. If women can do this in the beginning what will she do further on!

Delays are Dangerous.


 A woman walked into an insurance of flee the other day and said she wanted the policy she held settled. The agent took it, saw it was paid up policy, and told her he had no notification of the death of the man named therein. She said, ''No, of course not he only died night before last, and guess they are just about putting him in now" He told her he thought it was rather soon for widow to be after the life insurance before her husband was buried.
 ''Well," she said, five are divorced, and it's made out to me, and learned by liv- ing in this world that when you've got business to do the best way is to do it right of, and so soon as I heard of his death came right down" The agent told her he would have to have death certificate, and she went away. She has evidently had ex- perience with the saying Delays are dan gerous"

THE WORST EARTHQUAKE
EVER HEARD OF BY AN AUTHORITY
ON SEISMIC AFFAIRS.

Edwin Arnold's Opinion OF Japan's Late
Horror-The Greatest Danger Always
From Fires-Some Ingenious Inventions
to Prevent Damage by shakes.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3-[Special II
was astonished," Sir Edwin Arnold said
this evening, "by the news of such a terri
BILE earthquake in Osaka and Nagoya
Never, if memory serves me, has an earth
quake visited that region before. The usual
scene of seismic disturbances is in and
around Toxic, and islands. near the capital
are pointed out as their foci Near there is
also the great volcano of Fugisan. Thirty
years ago 20, 900 persons are said to have
perished by earthquake and flood, but this
recent loss is evidently greater. Osaka and
Nagoya are busy, populous cities.
"Nagoya is about 259 miles from Toxic,
and on the south coast. A railway runs be-
tween it and Toxic. The country abounds
in hills. MANY of them volcanic, and no
doubt fires underlie the ground. 1t was here
that last year the Japanese troops executed
their military maneuvers under the eye OF
the Emperor. 1t is a large city, OF wide.
well planned streets, and population OF
10000. The principal occupation of its in
habitants has been the production OF SILK
and cotton wove goods, and h rs very
famous for its porcelain. Osaka il very
rich and prosperous manufacturing city on
the border of a river that leads to the sea.
1t is not So much damaged, l imagine, as
Nagoya
"The great danger in earthquakes is due
rather to fire than to any commotion. The
houses are usually only one story high, and
are of thin woodwork and paper. A bad
earthquake easily shakes down these fragile
houses, and, as every one contains nre-
box and q petroleum lamp, general bonfire
is the result. Light earthquakes are so
common in Japan they attract little notice.
They begin with a little commotion, twice
or thrice repeated. The vibration increases
and a roar follows. When you begin to
wonder what is about to happen it ceases
and all Is quiet. To guard against these
frequent shakings the Japanese have In
vented an ingenious contrivance.
'In my house at AZava, the column OF
cherry which supports the roof was pivoted
under the floor to a stone like a cup, so that
the earthquake did not cause it to tumble
down, but only made it oscillate- An earth
quake door has also been invented, which is
fastened to strong, massive joint which
slips along the beams. Thus the danger of
being struck down in the doorway is re-
moved, but the danger arises chiefly from
the ignition of the ruins, as have de-
scribed. The consequent floods, too, are
very destructive. The earth is lifted by the
shock and a huge wave swells in from the
sea upon the city on its border"

TOILET HINTS.

A clear complexion is the result Of good
health-not of cosmetics.
Cosmetics can be used in moderation to ad-
vantage, but they are never so perfect as the
bloom which good health imparts.
A clear complexion is usually the result of
good circulation, and good circulation is the
steady flow of the blood through the system.
When the blood is sluggish and the mind
depressed nothing is so beneficial as pure
medicinal stimulant, and nothing so thor
oughly stimulates the circulation or keeps it
n regular and perfect order as pure whiskey.
While there are many so-called whiskeys,
there is only one that is admitted to be
purely medicinal one; namely, Duffy's Pure
Malt
Druggists and grocers may try to argue to
the contrary because they make more money
on cheap and inferior goods, but it is always
best to bear in mind that the one which has
been tested, tried and proven by experience
is the only certain one. ocl6-wED
