1t may be laid down as a safe gen
eral principal that every new great sing
er who is discovered, in the person of
some modest blacksmith or seamstress
with a phenomenal voice, needs to be
rediscovered. Such discoveries are apt
to be like the finding of volcanic islands
that presently sink into the ocean, and
are seen no more of men. The world
is full of glorious voices, but great sing
ers are few. We have just read that
"the man who is to be the greatest
tenor singer in the world" has been re-
cognized by a composer and semi
impressario of this city in the person
of Mr.. Duchesne, lately a waiter in
Delmonico's restaurant; that the young
man possesses 1.-The lost Italian voice."
and that the De Reszke musical schol-
arship, worth $1,000, has been awarded
to him says the New York Mail and
Express.
So far so good. 1t is we'll known that
majority of great singers-have had
very humble beginnings in life At
least two great bassos began life as
succeeds, will not be the first man who
has DOTTED the walters apron to put on
the operate buskin. Among women
singers a similar state of things has
been noted Striking instances within
recent times are those presented by the
tenor CamDanin and the Drima donna
Christine Nilsson, both of whom were
of peasant origin. Low birth or mental
occupation are by no means an i'm
passable bar to the singers success.

1.-THE Lady of Lynn" By Sir Walter
Besant. Published by Dodd Mead &
Co. $3.50.
To be overzealous in well doing is
sometimes as bad as to be wanting in
zeal. Captain Crowle, the honest guar
dian of the Lady of Lynn was af-
flicted in this manner. THE Lady of
Lynn" was wealthy young heiress
whose ships and lands under the watch
full eye OF the captain, had yielded a
goodly sum each year, until the maid
was rich far beyond her own knowl-
edge or expectations. Besides being
blessed with a fortune she was en-
dowed with more than her share of
physical charms-in short, she was as
sweet and wholesome lass as one
would wish to see. Her guardian is
ever careful of her welfare and decides
his jewel is too good for any Of the
many lovers she might have in the lit
tie seaport town of Lynn. In his mind s
eye he sees her the wife of a noble
man, clad in costly raiment, with jew
els and laces. Nothing can be too good
for Molly. He discovers Samuel Sem
pie, a young man of Lynn, attempting
to make love to his ward, and soundly
cudgels him for it. In revenge for this
| indignicy, Semple plots to marry the
heiress, in spite of her guardian, dissi-
pate her fortune and make her life
miserable, in the carrying out of which
despicable plan he is in a measure sue
cessful The scheme succeeds as far as
securing the fortune is concerned, bu
the girl escapes the marriage.
There is little flaw in the plot IL
respect to the scheme of the marriage
| The rascally nobleman who thinks ht
is marrying Molly. marries a substi.
tute, who signs Molly's name in the
church register. Not until too late die
any one think to compare the forged
signature with a real one. This was
the only important point in the case
and would have cleared UP the matter
instanter. The ordinary reader is puz-
zled to know why the author lost sight
of this point.
But this, however, does not detract
from the interest of the story 1t Is
full of life from beginning to end. Sam
uel Semple's plot is bold one, and the
whole thing is well thought out. THE
Lady of Lynn will attract many read
ers and add to the laurels already won
by the author.

Poor Hetty Green

4 There is a shoemaker who lived al
one time in Far Rockaway, who has a
stock story 10 tell of the melancholy
time whsn he cheated himself. There
lived in his neighborhood poor woman
who had rented one of the summer cot
tages which she was able to hire at a
low sum for the winter because no one
else would take it. She lived in only a
few rooms of the house, the kitchen
and little room out of it, dining room.

which had gradually darkened the walls
to a cloudy gray. Everything about the

Chinese Women.

II is strange. says Harper's Weekly,
that in country where the ties of
family are so strong and where so
much attention Is given to the preser-
walton of the family name, women
should be so looked down upon as
they are in China. The reason for
this, however, is to be found in the
system of ancestral worship and the
patriarchal gathering together of fam
lilies. From the time of her bethrothal
a Chinese girl belongs TO the family
of her prospective husband. and often
when her own family is poor or feels
unable to afford keeping her until she
reaches a marriagable age she is sent
even, while mere child to her hus-
bands family to be raised by them.
Even when she stays at home she wor-
ships not the tablets of her own an
cestors, but those of her husbands;
SO she is useless to the family into
which she is born, so far as the OBJ
sserYance Of the ancestral rites is con-
cerned..
This is the reason why a Chinaman,
on being asked the number of his
children, answers only with the num-
ber of his sons and never counts in
his girls. This, too, is the reason why,
as rule, Chinese girls are not educat-
ed. Since she is to belong to another
family, the parents do not bother about

First Women Physicinns.

Russia has long prided herself on
having the first women physicians.
Marya Bokoff. Nadezhda Susloff and
others were pioneers, not only in their
own studies. but also in opening up
medical instruction to their country
women. The career of Nadezhda Sus-
loft, one of the earliest and best wom-
en- doctors. is particularly interesting.
Born a serf, and freed with her par
ents, at the emancipation in 1861, she
and her brothers and sisters received
the best possible education at homo
and abroad. for her parents were both
extremely intelligent, and her father
acquired wealth after gaining his free
dom. Everywhere. in Russia and in
the continental schools, Nadezhda was
brilliantly successful.
For 80 years there has been no man
ner of doubt as to the sympathy of
the public and the medical world with
the idea of thorough medical instruc.
tion for women. Men started the
movement. In 1870 one professor and
two other men undertook to establish
courses for instructing women in mid
wifery, two graded nurses being pro-
vided. Nine. Dodssvenny. now Nine.
Shanvawsky, gave $4,000 rubles for
higher medical courses. and the min
lister of war arranged to have them
opened in connection with the military
medical academy. in 1872. They gave
full instruction. in contrast with the
initial experiment where the course
was partial because it was felt that
a woman should not be allowed to
deal with one vitality important
branch of practise unless she were
very thoroughly equipped. These
higher courses lasted for 10 years, and
during that period had $50 students.

legged classes" that is to say, not

examination) women physicians"
