In the first place, no woman ought
to embark on the career of medicine
without reasonable certainty of hav-
ing sufficient capital, not only to pay
Tor her training and keep her during
at least five years of student life, but
also to support her for the first few
years after qualifying. Paid appoint
ments for newly qualified medical
women are few and far between. To
women who are being sent out under
the auspices of some society to India
or elsewhere, and are certain of i'm

medical student unless she is sure of
sufficient money to keep her withou.

The Baltimore e Ohio lines west OF
the ONO River present a very busy
appearance these days, as there is
scarcely ten-mle stretch without a
bridge or construction gang at work
There are still few of the 80 bridges
purchased last January to be erected,
and almost all of the 10000 tons of
50 pound rails have been laid.
AT several points between Bellaire
and Newark, o., sidings of 100 car
capacity are being constructed, and
between Newark and Chicago juno

Between Chicago Junction and Chi

are being constructed and work on
these is being pushed with unusual
haste, in order to complete them for the
heavy winter traffic. The sidings are
being built with a view of a double

are to be long enough in most cases
to hold three 80 car trains. The new
