Clara shnrtridss Enltz.

A New York exchange remarks |: Mrs. Clale Shortridgo Foltz of Cali fOrnia, attorney and counselor at law, is now at tho Waldorf. Mrs. Foltz un- dcrStan,ls tho art of dressing as well as she understands law. Her appearance is that of striking society woman. She wears Paris gowns and silk petticoats and exceedingly feminine frills. She is exceedingly womanly ill appearance.
 But if Mrs. Foltz does not look like woman lawyer she talks like one When she speaks, ono discovers the legal bent of her mind. She is decisive, quick, q bit dramatic, and probes every subject to the bottom.
 "When she grew to be big girl, she read Blackstone with as much interest as the ordinary young person would show in a love story. And this love of the law, combined with energy and hard work, has made Mrs. FOltz the success ful lawyer that she is.
 'Though she is remarkably young looking wul:an, she is the mother of five children. On Sept. ,, 1879, she was ad- mitted to the bar of the district courts of Califor-,s' and few months later to the supr'me court. In 1890 she was admitted tU the bar of the supreme court uf the United States.
 Mrs. Foltz has very large general ! practice She tf,s confined herself to the civil branches of the law. Her victory in the Hastings college case is famous, and it was through her efforts that the 1 college was opened to women law stu. dents.
 "She believes that all women should have at least some knowledge of law particularly of the statutes of the state and the ordinances of the city in which they live She declares that women req son as clearly as men do and that the all around woman of today is not sway ed by her feelings any more than is tht average man. 4 N. ...,.l |, Lo :! success full lawyer must nave thorough "duca tion, clear head, quiet nerves and natural love of the work ''

Woman and Church In Germany.

Good news comes to us from conserva- tive Germany. For the first time ill the history of German social life in the church woman has been invited to speak in a public discussion. At the Urfurt meeting of the evangelical social congress, not without much debate in the central committee, Dr. Grauck- Kuhne of Berlin was heard. The sus- pense of the first few minutes was very great, then absolute quiet, then an outburst of applause which would do honor to the most enthusiastic Ameri- can audience. The quiet, modest, eau tious woman had won q victory. She gave a masterly account of the domestic changes brought about by modern indus try. How thousands of intelligent wom- en of the middle classes are left without a rational calling, and how the women of the laboring classes are so taxed with farm and factory toll that the home goes to ruin. Then with great tact she dis closed the need of political, legal and educational reform. Woman's JOurual

Dr. Lillias Hamilton.

The young English doctor, Lillias Hamilton, who won fame by curing the ameer of Afghanistan of 8 serious ill ness, has succeeded ill arousing his roy al interest in the erection of hospitals. Dr. Hamilton was sent from Calcutta to Kabul by the advice of her own phy- sician for her own health.
 When she arrived, she discovered that her vacation promised to be q busy one, for medical practitioners in Kabul were few and far between, and when the peo- pie learned of her skill and qualifica- tions they camo to her for advice and treatment Sho soon had more patients than sho could manage, and when she succeeded in curing a man whose jaws had been broken by kick from horse tho ameer heard of her and decided to try her. A tent was built for her in the royal garden, and under her treatment the ameer recovered. He had tenn porary hospital built, containing 40 beds for the men s ward and five for the women's. When Dr. Hamilton returns to Kabul, he has promised that she shall superintend two well equipped hospitals, one a military one and the other for women, which he has decided to build.

When Marco Polo Was Alarmed

Regarding the use of bamboo as fuel, tho following quaint lines from the book of Messer Marco Polo, the Venetian, form all interesting example of travel CTS tales ill those days when travellers were so few that there was little fear of their meeting with contradiction:
 He says: "The people cut the green canes, of which there arc vast numbers, and set fire to heap of them at once. After they have been awhile burning they burst asunder, and this makes such 0 loud report that you might hear it ten miles off. In fact, any one unused to this noise who should hear it unexpect- edly might easily go into a swoon or die of fright. But those who are used to if care nothing about it; hence those who are not used to it stuff their ears well with cotton and wrap mp their heads and faces with all the clothes they can muster, and so they get along until they have become used to the sound. tel you the truth, however, when say that the first time you hear it nothing can be moro alarming. .''-Chambers' Journal.

Who Miss Alice Brown Is.

"Who is Miss Alice Brovn?" is still a question put by some reading people, says an appreciative writer i'll the Bos- ton Transcript Her journey to England with Miss Louise Imogen Quincy has brought her name into current para graphs, but it is her work that speaks for her. A few years ago people used to ask in the same way, "Who Is Miss Wilkins?" Now everybody knows that she is quiet New England woman, all alone in the world, who lives in the house of friends ill serene. idyllic Ran dolph, and there produces some of the most artistic work ill prose of our gen. eration. Five years ago it was neces- sary to foretell her present fame for those who had not read her first book /; five years hence it will not be necessary more than it now is for Mary Wilkins to define the personality of Alice Brown to insure consideration for her poetic work. Much thus far is in poetry. No poem on Edwin Booth reached the sus- tained height of hers. The lyric loveli- ness of the Christmas poem beginning, "Sweet is the time for joyous folk, '' sang itself into many memories.
 There has been no volume of the poet ry of Alice Brown, but when it comes all who care for the genuine poets gift and the scholars attainments will vel come it. Her stories ill the magazines show anothe. facet of her many sided power. A volume of them entitled "Meadow Gsass" has been published.

Rise of the Medical Profession.

During the medieval times the non- asteries, serving as centers of instruc- tion, gave some embodiment to the med ical profession, like that which our col 1egcs give. In Italy there later arose in stitutions for educating physicians, as the medical school of Salerno in 1140. In France before the end of the thir- teenth century the surgeons had become incorporated into distinct college, fol- lowing ill this way the incorporated medical faculty, and while thus inte- grating themselves they excluded from their class the barbers, who, forbidden to perform operations, were allowed only to dress wounds, etc. In our own country there have been successive con- solicitations.
 The barber surgeons of London were incorporated by Edward ", and in the fifteenth century the College of Phy- sicians was founded and received pow CT to grant licenses to practice medicine "a power which had previously been confined to the bishops y Progress in defniteness of integration was shown when in Charles I's time persons were forbidden to exercise surgery in London, and within seven miles, until they had been examined by the company of bar bers and surgeons, and also when, by the eighteenth of George II, excluding the barbers, the Royal College of Sur geons was formed. At the same time there havo grown up medical schools in various places which prepare students for examination by these incorporated medical bodies, further integrations being implied. Hospitals, too, scattered throughout the kingdom, have become places of clinical instruction, some unit. ed to colleges and some not Another species of integration has been achieved by medical journals, weekly and guar terly, which serve to bring into com muIication educational institutions, in cOrpUratcd bodies and the whole profes sion.-Herbert Spencer ill Popular Sci | enCe Month";

To Tighten Sundays Work.

Mrs Rorer has lately furnished to housewives some menus for cold dinners that are ideal, say for Sunday when the thermometer is above 90. Many of the dishes can be prepared one day and leave very little cooking for the next. These mode s will, I hope, suggest other combinations as good to the housekeeper who wishes to tighten the summer bur den of life for herself or for those who prepare her dinners. Could anything be more appetizing than a cold soup made from sour cherries, cold roast mutton with chile sauce, sliced tomatoes, salad of string beans, waters with cheese and an old fashioned rice pudding? A sec- ond menu as attractive consists of rice and tomato soup, cold boiled chicken in a pie, jelly, tomatoes and cucumbers on lettuce, cream cheese with waters and fruit.
 But these menus, you will perhaps say, are luncheons, and no food for a hungry man, yet they are nutritious, light, cooling and easily digested. Cold deviled fish, left from the boiled or rnast fish of the previous day, easily

NEw YORK CLUES.
An Increasing Disposition to Investigate
 the Qualities of Candidates.

An Increasing Disposition to 1nvestig0ta
 the Qualities of Candidates.
 It is becoming harder rather than easier to get into reputable New York clubs. Nearly every important club has . long waiting list, and there is an tn- creasing disposition to question narrow ly the character and reputation of q man seeking admission A few clubs elect members at general club meeting. This is cumbersome method, and most clubs leave the matter ill the hands of the board of trustees. The latter often practically delegates its responsibility tc 0 committee on admissions. When the committee does its duty, it parcels out among it's members the names of those seeking election and requires them to investigate the reputation of tho candi- dates. The proposer and the secondeT are questioned and are asked to give other references, so that the candidate may be further investigated. The good naturcd habit of scconding the noin!na- tion of men with whom the socondcr is unacquainted. Is one of which tho ad missions committee thoroughly disap- proves, and it has been suggested, as remedy against reckless proposing and seconding, that those who are respon- sible for mans presence in club shall make good his default if he gets into the clubs debt and neglects to pay up.
 No club fully indicates the prereq- uisites to membership, because in most cases it is tacitly understood LShat. what ever tho opinions or tastes that arc OK pected of an applicant for election, he must, above all, be that somewhat indef mite thing, a gentleman. If club is very small, the personal dislike of a sin gle member for a candidate is likely to defeat his election. But ill large club a man is expected to put his personal dis likes aside when the question of admit ting others to membership comes up. One of the oldest things in clus life is the desire of some men to join clubs with whose declared objects they are at enmity or toward which they are indif ferent Every political association that is also social club of good standing has some such incongruities.
 Some clubs do not inquire so careful ly as to the character and qualifications of men seeking admission as nonresi- dents as in the case of those seeking tc come ill as resident members. This sometimes results in the final reception into full membership of men that are out of sympathy with the objects of the club. Some men are entirely content to enjoy the immunities of nonresident membership when doing business ill ] New York, a thing that most clubs do not permit It was discovered not long apo that 60 nODreSident mem hers of a large club had offices in New York and should have been paying resident instead | of nonresident dues.-New York Sun
