in answer TO an open letter addressed
to the president by . young woman
asking advice concerning the probes
sion IN which she as II woman would
lind the greatest sphere OF usefulness,
the advantages of the four profes-
sions, law, medicine, the ministry aud
teaching, were presented Ia turn by
women representatives OF each probes
sion. The Rev. Phoebe IL. hannaford,
the first regularly ordained woman IN
New England, the fourth in the world,
spoke for the ministers; Mary A. Bond,
NJ. d., a successful practicing physi-
clan in New York, represented medl-
cine; Miss Kate Hogan, law student
in this city and president OF the Wo-
mans Legal society, argued the legal
side of the question, and Anna Randall
Dlehi and other educators gave test
mOny to the teacher worth and value
in the community and state. Through
out the entire discussion the money
element was not presented, and the
idea of success in n personal sense was
entirely eliminated. The lawyers pea
was for reconciliation between individ-
nails. arbitration between nations; the
doctors mission the prevention rather
than the cure of disease; the minister's
and teachers idea of satisfaction COM

DASHING PRINCESS MARIE.

The Princess Marie d'Orleans, the
daughter of the Duke de Charities,
again furnishes material for gossip IN
the French papers. Seven years ago
she married Prince Valdemar, of Den-
mark, and went to live in Copenhagen.
The married couple took up very
modest quarters IN the Yellow Palace.
But soon the princess got tired or this
kind OF quiet life which did not suit
her modern and artistic tastes. She
began to make her home brilliant and
gay. The members of the royal fami.
ly, and particularly Queen Louise,
considered themselves greatly scandal
lied by her conduct. In spite of the
remonstrance of her austere mother
in-law, the lively princess displayed all
sorts OF eccentricities, which the four
hundred OF Copenhagen considered
outrageous. Educated in the free ar
of English liberty, her little Puritan
brain constantly busted itself In the
manufacture of new distractions. She
was often seen on horseback dashing
along accompanied by only asingle es-
cort, and in her little pony phaeton she
loved to dash along at full speed
through the streets of Copenhagen.
She seldom failed to 60 to the races.
where she chatted Familiarity with
groups of officers and sportsmen while
che smoked her cigarettes. Naturally
enough, tho men encouraged her, be.
cause she was original and charming,
while the ladies were ecandallzed. The
brilliant and lively little princess
shocked them still more in her private
parties in the Yellow Palace, At which
gentlemen only were invited. Last
New Years Eve she sent the following
invitation to her military friends:
"Come ana take supper the 31st of
December at half-past ii. MARIE.
OF course, they came, and had q
glorious time. The princess herself
made the punch, and touched glasses
with her guests just as the old clock
sounded midnight, announcing the ar
rival of the New Year. On another
occasion, when her guests were enjoy
ing themselves hugely and making
quite an uproar, she said to them:
"Hush! hush! You will wake up old
Uncle Hans" "Uncle Hans" Is the
brother Of the king.
Her fun seems to be over for the
present. A short time ago she mystic
rlously left Copenhagen and she Is now
In Paris with her parents. II was at
first said that she left because her hus.
band WAS too attentive to another lad y
but this story is not credited. and it is
now rumored that Prince Valdemar is
about TO JON his wife in Paris. A diff
ference In The religious views OF the
prince and princess 10 said to be the
real cause Of the trouble. He is a
protestant and she 10 . Catholic, and
wishes to have her children brought
up IN her own faith.
In spite of this little family jar, the
sprightly little princess will yet make
things lively all around her in Paris.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

Considering the recent date of the
admission of women 10 the Scottish
universities, an Unexpectedly large
number have availed themselves of
the privileges offered. In Edinburgh
about 700 women have joined the art
classes, including thirty-eight that are
studying music. The university has
made no provisions for giving q medi.
cal education to women, but over fifty
women are studying in the school Of
medicine for women. Glasgow uni
verslty, in regard to the medical edu-
cation of women, leads all tho others.
Queen Margarets college. which 10
affiliated with the university and rec
ognized by the court and senate as the
woman's department IN medicine and
arts, has 100 students. of whom forty
three are dong the medical work. In
st. Andrews nineteen women have
matrlculated in the faculty Of arts and
have been awarded bursaries OF vari-
Gus amounts. The women students
look very picturesque IN their red

lar undergraduate dress. In Aberdeen

OUK THANKS

For the many complimentary things
said of THE HERALD's 52-pags issue by
the newspapers published in and out Of
the state The HERALD takes this occa-
sion TO return It's profound thanks. In
most Instances the notices have been IN
the nature OF surprises, because the
general appreciation Of the great work
was unexpected. To collect, edit, put
IN type and PRINT S64 columns of news
matter and advertising involve An ex-
expenditure of brain, muscle, time and
money beyond the ordinary conception
Of such task. When the task is ac-
compllshed without q single mistake,
accident or delay II becomes almost phe-
nomensl. That all these incidentals
have been commented on by our con-
tempoIaries IN . splri. of generous
commentator is q source Of crafty
cation 10 THE HERALD. IL may be in
teresting To the friends of The HERALD
20 know that copies of the mammoth
paper, weighing nearly q pound. were
despatched to every member OF con-
gress, the senators and members OF the
cabinet and the president of the Uni
ted States. A copy was addressed to
Queen Victoria and the Ri. Hon. w. f.
Gladstone and other notable foreigners.
Copies were sent to fsraway Australia
and TO other islands Of tho sea. Every
newspaper OF wide circulation received
a copy. The governors and mayors of
many Of the states and principal cities
OF this country were favored. The
idea in mailing these papers was to
spread the name and fame of Grand
Rapids wherever the English language
is spoken and American enterprise il
appreciated. 1t is safe to say

TIGER SKINS.

The length of the longest tiger skin
after drying 10 said to be thirteen feet
elk inches; but it must be noted that
skins expand considerably IN the cur
ing. The greatest length of a skin un-
dressed is given as ten feet two and
one-half inches. That goes far towards
confirming what We have said as to the
finest of these latter-day tigers falling
far short of their predecessors.
