the STREET srRlSKLING TAX.

THERE ia much Dissatisfaction
amoug property owners over tho street
shrinking tax. May Of them have
been served with notice that they
have been assessed a, the rate oi seven
cents per foot frontage. This counts
both ways on corner lets. The service
ha. always been miserable sluce the
"LIberala" let the contract to non'
resident firm and rejected nll local bids
But Of that we do not wish now TO
make particular mention. The Coun'
ell has recently created n new sprinkl'
Ing district, and placed the tax, five
remembcr rightly, at only four cents
PER foot frontage.
In addition 10 this discrimination
between districts, which, however,
may be capable OF satisfactory
explanation, there IL also dis
crimipatlon in the supply. In one

The consequence Is that a number OF
agsrlevod taxpayers have agreed to

unequal, and as believed, illcgal in-

women are not afforded plenty Of facilities
for studying medicine. In New York.
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Cincinnati and
Chicago are medical schools of the first rank
exclusively for women. The medical de-
partment of the Johns Hopkins University,
the most advanced institution of learning in
the United States, is open to women. Mary
Garrett and other ladies gave S100, 600 to the
establishment on condition that it should ad-
NIT women, and S2U0, 900 has already been
added to this sum for the purpose OF estab-
fishing the medical school on a co-educa-
tional basis. Nearly all of the Western col.
leges, including the great University OF
Michigan, welcome women to their medical
departments Two colleges IN Washington
admit them Liz ewise-the National Univer-
sitv and the Howard University. The lat
ter affords medical instruction to colored
women and men. 1t is supported by the
Government, Congress making an annual
appropriation to sustain it.
Paris offers every facility to women who
wish to study medicine. In this respect

is behind the age, inasmuch as no woman

Women Doctors in Ancient Times.
1t has been justly said that 'the obloquy
which falls upon the advocates OF innova-
ZION belongs to those who oppose the medi-
cal education of women" There were
female physicians in the earliest classical
times. Homer makes mention of one in
the Iliad, Book xi. The lines read:
His eldest born, hight Agamede, with golden
hair;
A leech was She and well she knew all herbs
on ground that grew.
Euripides speaks of women doctors, and
there is record of many Greek women who
were renowned tor skill in medicine. As
pasta wrote ably OF medicine. A maid of
Athens named Agno,iice earned such sue
cess in med cal practice that, thanks to her,
the profession was opened by law to all
tree-born women of the State. In her time
women were strictly forbidden to practice
medicine, so that she disguised herself as a
man, and under that concealment she
studied at q school, After she had cured
many of her own sex of their ailment, it
became known that she WAS q woman, and
sine was condemned to death by the legisla-
tive assembly. But the women of Athens
appealed in her behalf, and the sentence
was revoked. Subsequently many noble
ladies' practiced and taught medicine in
