"The most ludicrous sight I've seen
in many a day saw yesterday" said
a man who had just come in from his
Sunday outing in Connecticut. 81
saw the open windows of farmhouse
guarded, not by mosquito screens, but
by wire netting of the sort they make
into hen fences. Any mosquito which
was no larger than a good fat robin
could make his way into the house.
I stopped and wondered what that
netting was there for. Finally | made
up my mind to ask the farmer him
self-he was standing in his front
yard.
WELL said he, we couldn't afford
to buy no reel, genewine musketer

was mistaken, but amt goin' to say

"that those window screens rather

they say were first made in Connecti-

to show few specks on the tops OF
their custards."

Women as Physicians.

The first woman who was regularly
graduated from a medical college was
Elizabeth Blackwell. Her admission
to the college in Geneva, n. Y, was
secured by the students, to whom the
faculty referred her application.
They thought it great joke, and the
unanimous vote in her favor was re-
ceived with uproarious demonstra-
tions. The faculty, who had expected
o different decision, reluctantly accept
ed it, and she was graduated in lS47.
But for her clinical study she was
compelled to 60 abroad, and after
great difficulty was received at the
"Maternite," in Paris, and as a personal
favor was permitted some oppGtuni-
tiea of visiting hospitals.
On her return from Europe she set to
work to provide opportunities of clini-
cal study for women, ana with the
assistance of generous friends to the
enterprise, the New York Infirmary
for Women and Children was estab-
lished, and from this grew the Wom-
ans Medical College of the New York
Infirmary.
It is not yet fifty years since DR..
Blackwell received her degree of NJ. D.:
Now women physicians in the United
states are numbered, by the hundreds,
and are welcomed everywhere, in
many hospitals, in private families,
and, when they can write we'll in the
columns of medical journals. They are
invited to consultations they are sue
cessful lecturers; they are members of
county, State, and nation medical as
sociations.
In Switzerland, in Scotland, in
Italy, in France, and recently in Eng
land, women are admitted to the pro-
fession of medicine. Germany will not
permit women to study in her uni'
versities, and Russia denies them ad-
mission on the ground that study of
medicine leads to Nihilism.
A great field is opened to women as
medical missionaries. Not only are
they blessing to the people to which
they are sent, but to their own coun-
trymen when travelling i'm foreign
parts. Itwas DR.. Mary Bradford who
saved the life of the lanented Theo-
dore Child when he was seized with
cholera in Persia on his way to India.
All other doctors had fled from the
plague, buG she heroicaly remained
at her post. :,
1t is said by those who should
know that the supply of women ply
sicians will not equal the demand for
hundred years to come.
Eminently advantageous is thor
ough medical education to wife and
mother. 1t broadens her mind; it
gives her the consciousness of being
equal to any emergency; it enables
her to bring up her children wtely.
not only as to their bodies, but as to
their minds; and if, as is often the
case, the support of the family devol-
yes upon her, it enables her to make a
living, while being constant bene-
factor to others.

Selfishness isolates. When we
make it the end Of our existence to ac-
cumulate for ourselves any kind of ad-
vantage, we sever the ties which God
has drawn to bind us to our fellow men.
What can be more pathetic than the
spectacle of mere rich man, who has
not Il friend outside his family circle,
who is followed everywhere by the de-
tectives he employs to guard life
which is valuable only to himself.
Well might it be said of such n man,
by the artist who painted his picture,
that he had the look of hunted ami
NAL. But this is no more than an en-
treme illustration of a tendency which
is more or less present in all lives. We
can maintain wholesome and true rela-
lions with our fellows only by relus-
ing to make ourselves the center to
which we refer everythin g. "That
way madness lies" while the only
true sanity is in forgetting self in the
10Y of service to our fellow men and
to Gods. S. Times.

Two clergymen were very firm
friends yet as different in character As
possible. The one was prim and. pre-
else, especially careful of his linen,
quiet in speech and manner; the other
careless SIS to dress, and Il regular
John Bull in ways and words. The
latter had formed the habit of taking
snuff, much to the disgust of his friend,
who abhorred all such practices. One
day at the ministers meeting, Mr.. b.
pulled out his snulf-boN, tapped it in
the orthodox fashion, and took q
hearty pinch. MIR. \. thinking to re-
buke him, said in his mildest tones,
"NIr. b., how much do you think it
costs you year to buy snutf"'
"Don't know, was the reply; per
haps about as much as it does for
your starch"

Beauty in WOman'S Face.

No cosmetics are so capable Of en-.
hancing beauty as the smile Of good
temper and the desire to please.
Beauty of expression is, more than
any other form of liveliness, capable
of cultivation. A woman may not
have perfectly regular features, but
her face will he so lii up with the beauty
of goodness that she cannot fail to
please if she strive to obey the spirit OF
some such rulesas the following. which
may be multiplied or diminished ac-
cordirg to particular cases:
/. Learn to govern yourselves and
to be gentle and patient.
3. Guard your tempers. especially
in seasons of ill health, irritation and
trouble, and soften them by prayer
and sense of your own shortcomings
and errors.
5. Never speak or act in anger until
you have prayed over your words or
acts.
4. Remember that valuable as is
the gift of speech, silence is often more
valuable.
5. Do not expect too much from
others but forbear and forgive, as you
desire forbearance and forgiveness
yourself.
6. Never retort a sharp or angry
word. 1t is the second word that makes
the quarrel.
I. Beware of the first disagreement.
s. Learn to speak in a gentle tone
Of voice.
8. Learn to say kind and pleasant
things when opportunity offers.
10. Study the characters Of each,
and sympathize with all in their trou-
bles, however small.
II. Do not neglect little things. if
they can affect the comfort of others
in the smallest degree.
- Avoid moods and pets and fits
OF sulkiness.
13. Learn to deny yourselves and
prefer others.
IA. Beware of meddlers and tale
bearers.
10. Never charge bad motive if a
good one is conceivable.
16. Be gentle and firm with chill
dren. .---Five Talents of Women.

Born in stable, not In palace;
Told TO shepherds meek and low,
Heralded by highest angels,
Earth with heavenly light aglow!
Thus I see, at very threshold,
Christ as God, yet brother mine;
Through his earthly life the human,
Through his mighty words divine.
Here I'm taught blessed lesson,
Love for all the human race;
In the lowliest places finding
GleamiDgs Of my Saviour's face.
Here I learn another lesson,
Taught to me by life divine:
"Be thou meek and lowly minded:
Learn thou from this life Of mine"
Chicago, Dec. Z, 1879.

Heaven itself was thrilled with pleasure
Pleasure, too, without alloy;
Deep, unbounded, lasting pleasure,
Uncomfortable with JOY:
Filling all the golden city,
Rising DER its jasper wall,
Flowing down through space ethereal.
Flooding all this earthly ball.
Floating on this crystal current
Swiftly came an angel band;
Soon around the speaking angel
Did this mighty phalanx stand;
To the eyes of wond'ring shepherds
Seemed the very heavens filled:
Eager faces! loving faces .
All with heavenly raplures thrilled!
Suddenly. this host OF angels
Clad In robes of heavenly light,
With burst of rarest music
Woke the stiffness Of the night.
"Glory be 10 God the highest,
Peace on earth, goodwill to men"
Sounded from the upper heavens,
Echoed back from earth again.
With the echo they departed,
Upward took their homeward flight:
Awe struck shepherds, left in darkness
Underneath the stars Of night.

Stands sparkling like n crOwning gem,
Above the creStS Of Bethlehem.
And, 10 around its Frightening gleam
Faint halo wreathS are forming,
And misty circles breaking. seem
In bright-winged cloudlets Swarming.
Then floating near, the golden clouds
Unfold In angel legionS.

Fill all the starry regions;
And thus the chorinS seraph ihrohs
With joyful notes burst forth In song:
"Glory he to God on high

Sends on earth her king annOintcd

Let her myriad tuneiul voices
Sing the angelic hymn again.

Not long will they remain
To fire the youthful breast
With love for native land
How fast they seek their rest.

Don't give TO them n stone
While yet they cry for bread.
Nor give the dead the less,
While for the hearts that aohe
