THE FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR.
She Practiced la Athens Disguised

The first qualified woman physician in
Europe. so far as is known. was a young
Athenian woman named Agnodce, says
the Medical Journel. In the year 900

extraordinary success. But her secret

over raised so furious an agitation in
consequence that the case was dropped
and the law repealed. Coming 10 later
times. we find several women who Oh

and practiced in Europe before li92. es-
pecially in the Moorish universities of
Spain. Trotula. of Rugi6rJ, in the elev-
enth century had 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 women
have been professors of medical subjects
in the same university-Anna Mangolini

FAIR DECEIVERS.
Are Women. More Than Men. Given
to Discrimination.

An English Journal asked that very
abstruse question and here are some of
the answers.
In the eighteenth century, when Pope
gave us credit for having mo characters
at all,' poor women, with next to no
education, had few ideas except the very
domestic oneSD beyond dressing. flirting
and spreading nets 10 catch foolish men
THE hearts supreme ambition" is now
more generally to assume a cap and
gown and to shine mentally-not only "to
be fair" That ambition is one incom-
patible with "deceiving men," they have
no time for such contemplate sport
Though personally not very fond of the
genus blue stocking. | mucn prefer il to
the one who employs ii<- time in de
ceiving men, and probably pays dearly
for doing so.
However, of women no great poet has
written and called them. as the immortal
bard did men, ''deceiyers ever" Women
are weaker than men and more easily led
las moonlight unto sunlight, as water
unto wine"-a wide line of demarcation.
Is ii not. therefore, fair TO conclude that
women ere much what men make them
If they are deceivers? Not as successful
ones as the man who. If he swears, will
certainly deceive thee
A woman can deceive n man more ef-
fectualy than a man can deceive a wom-
an. A woman has naturally greater in
tuition than man. Rousseau says:
Men can better phiiosophize on the hu-
man heart but women can read it bet
ter" A man may credit u woman with
deceiving all round, save and except
himself, whom he thinks much too
worldly wise to be deceived by the weak
er sex. Men are less observant of the
little details of life, so that many a sig
nificant word, look, or gesture escapes
them, where women put two and two to-
gether. and intuition does the rest.
Men, even the best of them, are so
quickly influenced either for good or evil
by women. A woman has far keener
powers of perception than a man; she
takes in the situation at glance, and

There were about twenty of these favored

those within reach were hidden. One eve

ton of the chosen spirits than usual was
present. and then and there it was agreed
that each person to whom a dinner was
given should present the hostess with a
souvenir spoon on which the giver's name
and birthday should be engraved. The
result would be better than a birthday

(From the New Haven Register)
Major Lamar Fontaine, who arrived IN
the city yesterday morning. Is probably
one of the most interesting veterans of
the Confederacy. He is the only repre-
sentative of Camp Sam Cammack, of
Koohoma County, Miss. and during his
stay in the city will be the guest of Capt
John Milledge on Trinity Avenue.
Major Fontaine has been soldier near

lures in all parts of the world sounds like
fiction
He served in the Russian army during
the Crimean war and at the siege of Sc
bastopol was decorated by Gar Nicholas
with the iron cross of honor for daring
bravery during the battle. AT the time of
the memorable charge or the Light Brig
ade at Balaklava Major Fontaine was
sixteen miles away. but could hear the
guns and see the smoke of that famous
battle.

Some Matrimonial Fncts.

Widowers are more inclined to marry
than bachelors. Widows are more inclin-
ed to marry than spinsters, says Tit Bits.
Both facts are eloquent in favor of the
comparative advantages of matrimony.
For one bachelor that marries between
the ages of fifty and ffty-five seven wild
overs remarry between these ages. These
are marriages out of equal numbers of
each class; the actual number of bache-
lOrs married will be greater only in pro-
portion as they exceed by seven to one
the actual number of widowers living at
these ages. Under the same conditions.
for every spinster married between thir-
Nv and siXty-iive two widows are remar-
ried. Inasmuch as the total number OF
spinsters far exceeds that of widows, and
the figures given refer to marriages out OF
equal numbers. this disparity is not so
noticeable; its existence, however, is be-
yond dispute. Similarly, out of an equal
number OF widowers and bachelors be-
tween twenty-five and thirty years OF
age. thirty widowers remarry for every
thirteen bachelors who enter the bonds
of Hymen for the first time.

air around her is thick with that mon

She goes out onto the back porch and
surveying various old tubs and boxes

what a perfect love of porch II is and
what a nice place ii has for the ice box.
She sees the morning glories streaming
out their gorgeous hues of crimson and
purple and the geraniums abloom like
scarlet stars. Then and there she says
she will not move. no never-neitter now
