ommended for the production of beauty.
For example. there is the fruit diet This

inclines toward stoutness: she must drink
lemonade only. and feed on apples. fruit
and cereals. Grapes account for a spe-
cial cure, and are partaken OF to the ex-

meetings In this city and vicinity
at which her great work for the redemp-

dia may be discussed.
1t was whil,. on a visit to that city that
the determined little woman gained her
principal encouragement to work out a
plan for the education of her suffering
sisters. Caste barriers and difficulties,
apparently insurmountable. had confront
ed her and had discourag ged others with
whom she took counsel from entering into
the spirit of her ideas. In 1856 she met
DR. Rachel BOdley. of the Women's Medi-
cal College. in this city. who persuaded
the Pundita to remain i'm America and
perfect her plans.
Ramabai made a study of the public
school and general educational system in
Philadelphia, and was trained in kinder
garten methods by Miss Sarah A. Stew

Protests Against Bird Slaughter.

The Massachusetts, Audubon Society
met one day last week at Association
Hall to protest against the slaughter OF
birls for millinery purposes. DR.. Charles
Sedgwick Minot presided, and on the
platform were Mrs. Alice Freeman Pal
mer and the exprt, Frank Chapman. The
attendance was large.
In opening. DR.. AIinot mentioned the
recent sale of 100, 900 birds in London for
millinery purposes as showing the eX-
tent of the trade. He eh-.,..asized the
seriousness of this destruction for the
interests of agriculture, it being a fact
that birds slaughtered for women's dress
meant so many insect pests let loose
upon the farm and orchard.
He mentioned the recent hat exhibitions
in Milwaukee and Philadelphia to show
that women's dress did not need birds
feathers to make 1t beautiful, and that
the hat dealers were ready to take part
in the proposed reform whenever women
were willing.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer admitted
that the charge against the taste and
humanity of women was grave. But
she hoped it was not true. and did not
believe ii was. School teachers had been
teaching dry statistics until the stunted

ChiIe's Political Antics.

Chilean political crises come and go and
cept by accident. A few years ago that
little coast country was on the point of
declaring war against the United States
confident that il could conquer us in a
two-weeks campaign: but the storm blew
over. and the peppery little sub-Andean
Republic has been tolerably quiet in the
interval; not changing its ministry on an
average OF more than three or four times
a year Just now. in consequence of the
serious aspect of foreign and internal
affairs. Senior Euloio AltamiranO has been
called TO power. succeeding a government
which had lasted only a few months
and in a few months more somebody
else viii in all likelihood be called on TO
succeed him. None of these incidents
would concern US particularly, hut for
the strong pTO-Spanish sentiment Of that
country. likely in case of war to find
some mode Of expressing itself ridicu-
lous as that of the Mexican greasers
who the other day rushed across the
Texas frontier to whip the United States.
and were driven back by a squad of cow
boys. Chile talks about furnishing a
regiment and a battleship for Spain in
case Of war and in certain contingencies
may require little looking after. Or
dinarily she gets about as much atten-
ton from the United States as French
Guiana or the Azores, and what she
does get is directed rather to her guano
than to her politics or policy.

Mitchner has held her present position
as superintendent since last November,

marked success. which is largely due TO
the fact that the employees of the road

times endeavored to meet them on a
friendly footing. and to make them feel
that they. too, had an interest in the
welfare Of the road. In this way she

and union among quite a large force
of men who might otherwise have resent

DIR. AGNoDICE, OF ATHENS.
First Woman Qualified to Practice
the Art of Healing.

The first qualified lady doctor In Eu-
rope. as far as Is known. was a young
Athenian woman named Agnodice. In the
year b. c. 800 she disguised herself as a
man and began to attend the medical
schools at Athens, which 1t was against
the law for a woman to do. She after
ward practiced among the women of Ath-
secret becoming known, she was prose-
cuted for studying and practicing medi-
cine illegally. The Athenian women, how
ever, raised so furious an agitation in
consequence that the case was dropped
and the law repealed. Coming In later
times, we find several women who obtain
ed the degree of doctor of medicine and
practiced I'm Europe before 1892, especially
in the Moorish universities of Spain.
Trotula of Rugiero In the eleventh CEN
tury had a European reputation. and
practiced as a doctor In Salerno. AT the
beginning of the fourteenth century
Dorothea Bocchi not only received the
degree of doctor, but was professor of
medicine in the famous University Of
Bologna Since then two other ladies have

The Orient Leading in Fashions

The far East is influencing the fashions
this season. Among the novelties are
sarang cloths, which are Western copies
of the odd garments of the Javanese.
Others are Benares cloths. which pre-
sent the bright colors loved by the wom-
en- of Northern India. A third design
suggests the embellishments found on a
Japanese kimono. A member of the
Needlecraft Guild states with much truth
that We owe most of our knowledge of
fabrics TO the patient women who spin
and weave in Oriental lands. The very
name calico is the. name of an Indian
town where these goods were first pur-
chased by Europeans. Lawn. both Bisn~
op and organdie, comes from Bengal The
palm leaf pattern is the oldest and most
popular ornament the world knows. and
the India shawl is still uneQualed by any
product of our own looms. Further bacK
than that, the Caesars got from the Feast

their robes We're composed.

The LOng-Skirt Evil.

The festive microbe must be having a
glorious time, now that skirts trail once
lions as the Spring frOcks sweep the
streets. Aside from the question of
health-which in dress as in everything
else is inseparably linked to the question
of beauty-are the trailing skirts not
very expensive luxuries? They are made
shabby and stained by dust and friction
with the sidewalk: the velvet binding and
the satin facing wear into shreds in no
time and the constant grabbing and
clutching. which the neater woman gives
her gown when crossing streets, soon
spoil the set and so the style of any skirt.
and it is a noticeable fact that the long.
dusty-skirted woman invariably has dusty
shoes.

THE AIRY MAIDENs OF FRANCE.
Their Early Lives Compared with
That of American Girls.


Among the better classes the French
girl emerges from disagreeable child
hood. French children as a rule are
much INDUCED and spoiled, and very
little frankness exists between them and
their parents or those who have the care
of them. / have had many occasions for
personal observation in various parts Of
France, and have found them to be un-
truthful and much inclined to hypocrl-
sy and selfshness.
The half-grown girl is full of airs.
fond of dress, and often has the appear
ance of miniature woman, attired in
the latest fashion. She is forward and
self-assertive, and has quite as loud and
nasal a voice as any down East Yankee
girl. She is usually placed in a board
ing school. where she Is closely watched.
never trusted by family. governess or
teacher, and as a natural consequence
such strict surveillance ana lack OF con-
fidence develops very unfortunate traits
OF character. The girl in the best class
es in France Is often left in convent,
where IL too much restraint Is put over
her, she studies how she may elude the
gentle and conscientious supervision of
the nuns.
Like all her continental sisters, the
French girl realizes at an early age that
her chief object in life IS marrying, and
she is well aware that nothing can hap
pen to her about which she will be so
little consulted. She is never permitted
to form sny acquaintance or friendship
with young men. IL would be considered
very indecorous for her to know or re-
ceive any man unless he were the guest
of her parents. She never goes into the
street without a chaperon. and then on
ly for enough exercise to insure health.
Then her eyes are busy with glances.
while her wits are at work to deceive
her companion.
She is total contrast TO the contented.
natural American girl. although she is
quite ralkative and longs fully as
much for a sensation. She has no real
intimaCies among her own sex. Her
own family life Is considered ample
scope for her condolences and opinions.
Her home Is a dull place for her. for al
though French domestic life is kind. II
is not interesting to the young daughter.
Her education is not thorough nor is her
taste Intellectual Her talents. are not
much cultivated. and she enters but lit

told of the gradual determination of the
