MOslem Agitation.

There are 'ominous signs of an awak-
ening of Moslem fanaticism, following
the Turkish victories in Greece. When
those victories became known, Moslems
in India, Africa and Arabia sent mes
sapes to the sultan, appealing to him
to lead war against unbelievers' Inc
commission called the Council OF the
Jehad, or Holy War, which has been
sitting at Constantinople, has sent en-
VOWS to the various sheikhs and ulema
of Egypt, Arabia and India, admonlsh
ing all true Moslems to be ready &c
make any sacrifices at the demand OF
the caliph. In India a British o11cel
has been murdered, and the lives OF
others threatened, by natives; and
Nussulman mob at Calcutta was sc
violent that a considerable force OF
troops was required to subdue it. Sue
cessive disasters of plague, famine ant
earthquake have caused kind of de
SPAR among large classes of the popula
ton, and an intense feeling against the
government, which is blamed for al
the misfortunes-Yout Companion

DANGER In GETTING SHAVED.
BARRIERS Ought to Wash Their Hands
and Their Implements.

The proposition to make a more care
full man of the tOnsorial artist, in SO
far as relates to the transmission OF dis
ease from his infected to his well
clients, is not a new one. The subject
has been written upon by several ear
nest men before Heinrich Berger, whose
"Hygiene ~ &c -,arbierstuben" re-
Gently apprare.. N Leipzig. No writer
has, however, seemed to go so deeply
into the question and lay down such
strict rules for the knight of the shaw
ing knife. We are told that he must be
person free from epilepsy and all man
ncr of seizures, drunkenness and'infec
tious diseases.
Being free from these affections him
self, he may give professional attention
to all persons, including those under
the influence, or those likely to have
fit in the chair, provided they are free
from skin, hair and sexual diseases of
an infectious nature. Otherwise they
are to be treated at home with their
own implements. The author gives a
number of other rules which are in
themselves and SO far as they so good
if BARRIERS could be prevailed upon to
follow them-but he does not sufficient
ly insist upon the necessity of boiling
to the point of sterilization his instru-
ments, towels, sponges and especially
his own hands.
There are many things besides the
so-called BARRIERS itch which may be
transmitted in uncleanly shaving and
hairdressing, and of which the public
knows little or nothing. Favus is de-
cidedly on the increase in this coun
try, and the number of children turned
away from the cities schools for this
cause since the inspection innovation
went into effect would greatly sur
prise those who think of favus as q
European or foreign affection.
Attention has recently been called by
a member of the New York Dermatolog
ical society to the danger of the ep-
Hating tweezers used in barber shops.
IEgroWing hairs and those attended by
suppurative Inflammation, as in syco-
els, are extracted. and the next conner is
operated upon without adequate and
usually without any cleansing at ali
of the instrument. Certain rules should
be adopted, if possible, by BARRIERS in
general to protect their patrons from
dangers which are more real than i'm
aginary. Above all. they should remem-
Der that scrupulous cleanliness of i'm
PIGMENTS and hands is the first requ-
site, and the advice now being given to
surgeons to boil their hands" applies
almost equally to them. At the least
they could give little wash between
each next for the mere sake of an
pearance and in the interest of bust
ness, if for nothing else. - Medical

CHINESE WOMAN DOCTOR.
Hu King Eng Is the First of Her Sex
to Study Medicine.

AS far as her name conveys to the
average American, HUI King Eng might
just as well be a man. but she isn't. Iu
King is a remarkably pretty little maid
from the Celestial empire, and more
than that, she is the first woman Of
that heather land to whom the degree
of doctor of medicine has been granted.
DR.. Hu was born in Foo Chow, and in
her babyhOod she had every oriental
luxury which a Celestial baby could
possibly cry for. Her grandfather was
a mandarin Of power and. wealth, who
late in his life became converted to
Christianity and brought his grand
child up in that faith.
When she was old enough little HUI
King was sent away to a boarding
school, but she never seemed to take
any interest in smuggling caramels,
going to matinees and other courses
which schoolgirls take. Instead, she
prowled around in the dispensary con-
nected with the institution, learning
all she could about medicines and drugs.
So marked was her thirst for medical
lore that her father decided to make
physician of her.
After bitter opposition on the part
of all her relatives, who said they would
rather see her dead than a doctor, or
whatever the title is in Chinese, HUI
King came across the seas to this coun-
try She matriculated at the Ohio Wes-
leyan university, and after four years
of hard, persevering work, was grad
uated with the degree of master of arts.
From Ohio she went to Philadelphia,
where she took three years course in
the Woman's Medical college and post
graduate course in the Philadelphia
polytechnic, from both of which institu-
tons she received degrees. Then fol-
lowed several months of practical work
in the Woman's hospital in Boston, and
DR.. HUI, fully equipped for her life work,
returned to Foo Chow and assumed
charge of the Siang-Hu hospital.
Her success has been remarkable.
One instance is related, of coolie wheel
ing his blind old mother 1000 miles in
wheelbarrow to consult the woman doc
tor. A double cataract operation and
the blind was made to see. The only
son of wealthy mandarin was dumb
from his BIRTH and so of no account
disqualified to worship before the
names of his ancestors. The tied tongue
once relieved, and the dumb was made
to talk
DR.. Hu King Eng is one of the dele
gates to the woman's congress to be
held in London next year.-N. Y. Press.

Voices of Bullets.

The voice Of a bullet varies. There
is the thin, high whistle, to which no
one pays any attention for the first
half hour. There is the prolonged
moan, "the cry of lost spirit as a
novelist might say. There is the woltish
howl, which for some reason always
seems to be taking one on the flank in
stead of fairly in front; and last of all
there is the low, ill-tempered buzz, as
though the nasty thing had got out Of
bed the wrong side, as children say, 1t
is far the most terrifying, especially if
it suddenly stops as the bullet strikes
something close at hand. 1t was those
bullets only that we politely wished
good morning. London Chronicle.
