Princess and Physician.


 An Interesting woman is, our Vienna correspondent says, just now in that city. She Is an Armenian princess named Beglarion, only twenty-six years old, and a doctor Of medicine. Her father is wealthy, and to be able better to practice the science she has ac- quired in Tifiis, Switzerland and Salz- burg, she is going to build 8 hospital on his estate, small to begin with, but in time. In Vienna she has beenI re- ceived with open arms by the circle which is still in excitement after the attack by Professor AIbrecht upon wo- mans right to study, and it is probable that she will deliver a lecture on the question of wonan's rights in Armenia. The story of how she was moved to devote her youth to the study of medi- cine is touching When little girl she was often present when the peasant women on her fathers estate brought their sick children to her mother, ask ing her to advise and help. She often said to herself, "If mother had learned what the doctor knows she could help them instead of sending them home crying" Then on a box some one gave , her was the picture of a wounded sol- dier whose grateful eyes rested on the nurse bandaging his wound. This pie ture moved the child's fancy to such degree that she promised herself sod- emnly over and over gain that she would be a. nurse when she grew up, and she hoped a war would break out about that time. It was not difficult to obtain permission to attend the girls grammar school at Tifis, and after ward her mother rewarded her for studing hard by going to Berne with her.
 | When Mine. Beglarioaf returned home from Berne from her holidays in 1892 as la young medical student, the Rus sian doctors allowed her to work in the cholera hospitals, where she did excel lent service with a number of other wo- men doctors, who have been praised by the Russian Home Department. When she came home with her doctors di- ploma in her pocket, the sick from far and near f1ocked to her fathers house to consult her. On Sundays she always had some seventy patients, and thirty on week days. Three months ago she went to Salzburg to act as assist ant in Mime. RosaKerschbaumer's eye hospital. In Vienna, our correspond ent says, she is buying all the neces- sary instruments and furniture for her hospital She attends to all her poor patients gratis, but the rich ones, who have hitherto rewarded her work with presents, will be in future allowed to pay, and this will in time give her a l fund for enlarging and endowing her | hospital. The princess doctor is short and black eyed and black haired, and is graceful and quick in her move ments.-London Daily News

THE SILVER.

Although the law compelling an in- creased purchase of silver by the gov ernment was passed on the 14th day of July, 1S9O withdrawals of gold from the treasury upon the notes given in pay ment on such purchases did not begin until October, 1891. Immediately fol- lowing that date the withdrawals upon both these notes and United States notes increased very largely, and have continued to such an extent that since the passage of that law there has been more than thirteen times as much gold taken out of the treasury upon United States notes and treasury notes issued for silver purchases as was thus with drawn during the eleven and half years immediately prior thereto and af- ter the first day of January, 1879, when specie payments were resumed. It is neither unfair nor unjust to charge & large share of our present financial per plexities and dangers to the operation of the jaws of 1878 and 1890 compelling g the purchase of silver by the govern ment, which not only furnished a new treasury obligation upon which its gold COulu be WAlIuId"l, puI oO lASASdSeu the fear of an overwhelming flood of silver and forced descent to silver payments that even the repeal of these laws did not entirely cure the evils of their existence.

WEAPONS INDIANS FEAR.
They Don't Like to Face Telescope Sights
and Heavy Bullets.

Indians sometimes face light firearms
with great courage, but they fight shy
of the attentions Of any weapon that
sends a large projectle," said Colonel
f. a. Blake, who has had wide expert
ence ON the Western plains. The rush
and scream of the heavy bullet fright
ems Them and they prefer to keep away
from their range. To that not unrea-
sonable prejudice is due the fact that
the buffalo hunters of the early 70s, who
in following their business were con-
stantly exposed to the attacks of the
hostile Indians, We're molested compar-
atively little by them. The long, heavy
rifle, with its telescope sights and the
knowledge of the deadly certainty OF
the buffalo hunters aim, almost invari-
ably served to make the red man keep
his distance, and set him temporarily
free from the notion of scalp hunting.
"Ome buffalo hunter by the name Of
Murdock, that | knew, was creeping up
on a herd on the staked plain when he
saw band of Comanches riding toward
him, He instantly leveled his gun upon
them as warning that they should
not approach too near. Checking his
warriors, the chief of the band pointed
with his hand to a buffalo in the distant
herd, then mentioned in the Indian Ian
guage that the hunter should shoot it.
Murdock fired as the chief indicated and
the buffalo fell. The Indians gave a
loud How of approval. waved their
hands, turned their ponies and swept on
past the hunter, leaving him to pursue
his shooting of the buffalo unmolested."
