WOMEN As DOCTORS.

The world moves. Until generation
ago woman doctor was hardly known
within the circle of the regular medical
profession, and they were looked upon
in every community as charlatans or
crsnks. The prejudice against them
entering the medical profession was
almost universal, and strange as it may
seem the prejudice of women against
their own sex in profession for which
they should be specially fitted and in
which they are specially needed, was
even more profound than the same pre-.
judice among the sterner sex. But
steadily, though slowly, public senti-
ment has advanced to accord to women
the obvious just right of entering any
of the professions, and women now prac-
tice both law and medicine in every Sec
ton of the country.
The progress of the age in advancing
women to their just rights in the battle
of life was impresslvely illustrated in the
Academy of Music during the last week,
when forty-two young women appeared
upon the stage as graduates of the
Woman's Medical College, of this city,
with their fairly won titles of Doctors of
Medicine. 1t is gratifying to know that
this college has been in existence for
forty years, but it is only within the last
score of years thot it has been able to
present anything approaching q gradua-
ting class respectable in numbers. Now
women practitioners are not only known
but respected in almost every community,
and the success they have attained in the
profession more than justiies the great
battle that was fought to win for them
open doors to distinction in the profes.
sion.
It will seem strange to the readers of
history half a century hence to learn that
women were excluded from the profess
sions of the country until even after the
noon tide of the Nineteenth Century, for
there is little reason to doubt that in
much less than half a century women
physicians will fairly divide the medical
practice with their professional brethern,
and men physicians, in the many cases
in which every consideration Of delicacY
should prefer a women physician, will
be quite as uncommon as women were
generations ago.-Philadelphia Times.

NEW GOODS FOR REAL SUMNER.

The new goods for real summer are
exquisite in coloring, design and tex
ture, and Partisan is stamped upon their
every detail. Everything is shot or
shaded or patterned in some indescriba-
BILE way, crepon taking the adperhaps.
Among these one is dice patterned in
straw color and black, another in old rose
and black, which is both novel and
striking. Another rather curious ma
terial is of olive green patterned with
heliotrope, with woven border of black
ribbon, which IS everywhere outlined
with jet. 1t is prettily made up with
short zouave fronts to the bodice, while
the underbodice and sleeves are of olive
green bengaline. - Frank Leslie's

GruesOme Souvenirs.

"a remarkable tribe of Indians are the
Napos, who live in the northern part of
Chile. Instead of wearing scalps at their
belts as tropics, like the American saw
ages, the heads of their enemies dangle
at their girdles. By mysterious pro-
cess known only to themselves, they re-
move all the facial and Uranium bones
without cutting the skin or destroying
the interior. Then the head is then re-
duced, without manning any of the
features. to the size of mans fist. -

Flower"

For two years suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
! all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
| everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
q bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me-"

not been entered upon the books of
the bank. He Immediately directed
the teller to lay these deposits aside

SUFFERING AT KREB'S.
How the People of Any City
Can Render Valuable Aid.

There 10 need Of charity at the
Kreb's mines. The recent disaster has
reduced many homes to pitable state
of destitution. The coarse, uninvit.
ing home of a miner is far from being
able to furnish even the bare necessi-
ties to the injured ones, and there
comes . cry from q warm hearted,
sympathetic Kansas City woman in
behalf of these sufferers. She is the
ester of DR.. Allen, assistant surgeon
at the mines. There are 12O
badly burned men to be
cared for every day. Some
have died, and it is thought many
others Of the injured can not live. The
cry is for rags, rags, rage! old soft
rags! Can't you get the good news
paper people of Kansas City to help
Us get this before the people? We
have had wagon loads OF rags from
Dallas and other Texas towns, but We
need still more. You people in the
comforts Of your homes have no idea
of the extent of the injuries, and how
long it will take them to heal"
Every person with . spark Of
Christian Fellowship, or who loves his
fellow man, will feel the need which
is pressing. These people need soft
rags for bsndages, They need not be
made in . surgeons roll, but may be
sent in any clearly shape.
