Women Doctors in Paris.
5 Correspondence of the London Telegraph

Paris Correspondence Of the London Telegraph
How many women doctors practice In
Paris? A statistician has gone into the
question. He finds that while twenty years
ago only seven women had taken their med
ical degree here. in the face, moreover, of
violent opposition. the 5000 physicians now
established in Paris include fifty-seven wo-
men. The latter all have busy and remu-
nerative practices. Two among them hold
semi-official posts. These women are Nine
Bres and Nine. Perree. The former is med
zeal attendant to the Chatelet Theater
where she looks after the women of the
company and the children who often appear
on that stage, the home of French extrava-
ganza. Nine. Perree has the same position
at the state playhouse of the Odeon. the
second Theater Francois She is the wife
of a comedian who acts at the Palais Royal
under the name of Raymond Every year
the faculties of medicine of Paris and
Montpelier grant degrees to many feminine
candidates, but Frenchwomen are in the
minority, most of the doctoresses who pass
in this country being Russians and Rouma-
mans. No woman physician has yet been
rewarded with the cross of the Legion of
Honor. but one midwife, Nine. Gross. holds
this high and coveted order, which was
conferred upon her for gallant conduct in
the Franco-German war.

Literature Of Beauty.
From the New York Mail and Express

If we are to believe the Sunday news
papers, the girls Of today are not salts
fed with being merely good. They must
also be beautiful. Such incidental read
ing as their grandmothers did was de-
signed to improve their minds and char
acters; essays on self-help and moral tales
which furnished object lessons in good
behavior made the bulk Of it. A consid-
cradle portion Of the very light literature
which is served up on Sunday for the girl
of the period aims, as it seems, to improve
her figure. If it truly reflects her spirit
she has ceased to be Puritan and is striv-
ing to become Greek.
The mass and variety of the literature
of ply culture constitutes one of the
noticeable phenomena of the time. There
seem to be numerous exercises, each of
them as good as the other, that are cal
cu!ated to transform plain girl into
reasonably pretty one. There seem to be
numerous costumes equally well fitted for
exercise work, and among the spirited IL
Illustrations which invariably accompany

series boomers, knickerbockers, the pa

or boxing or swimming lesson, and fol-
lows it with a sieSta and kneading pro-
cess, and follows that with a rundown

The Woman's National and International
Permanent Industrial Exposition held a

considerable printing for the exposition.
The league has expended also $1.2S4 for
stationary, postage and printing. Mr.. Will
kins added that in order that the citizens

HUNTERS DEAREST TROPHY.
Sportsman's Ambition MARRIED Unless
He Has Killed a Bear.


From the Bangor Commercial.
A big black bear Is the trophy that all
sportsmen who have been in the woods
are after. Shooting deer Is all right, and
moose, Of course, is a sportsman's am
bition until he gets one; then he must
have a bear. 1t sounds so much bigger,
you know, to say that you have killed a
bear. Bears are supposed to be very dam
gerous and only shot after hand-to-hand
encounters and thrilling escapes from
death large number of bears have come
down from the woods so far this fall, and
1t seems If Maine bruin were either
very plentiful or decidedly careless.
Hunters from out Of the state, especial
ly like to get a bear. Two stories of how
the prizes are shot can never be proved
out of the way as a female with young
does not wait an instant II brought to
bay or If she thinks the young ones are
in danger, from attacking a man or sew
eral men, for that matter. Bear hunting,
however Is not SO precariouS the sports
men often make it out to be- The killing
often consists of merely running across
one in the woods and shooting him before
he can get away. Then dogs are often
by their barking and swapping keeping
the big brute excited the hunter has time
to take good aim and get his game. Bears
are often found in their dens and smoked
ugly when this is done, but do not stand
much chance against two or three 45-90s.
Practically all bears which shot by
sport Smen are brought out of the woods
and either mounted whole made into
rugs, or the heads set up with the
mouth open to give them fierce express
sion. Bears are outside the pale of the
law in Maine and may be shot. trapped or
killed In any other way wherever they
may be found. Whenever a bear comes
down from up river the owner can always
be found at the western depot Perhaps
he has deer or moose along that he has
to identify. After doing SO he will always
ask If 1t is necessary for him to prove
property in regard to the bear, and he
smiles proudly the crowds which are
always gathered around the wardens. II
the bear is all the game he has. why he
will make big touse about not being able
to find the warden so as to identify his
bear, for, of course, he wants to be sure
that the bear isn't seized. He wouldn't
have that happen for anything. Oh. no.
Nor would he have the crowd remain IT,
norant of the fact that he got his bear.

Thorns in Britain's Side
/ the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The names New Caledonia" and New
Hebrides'' typify two thorns in the side Of
the commonwealth. When Captain Cook
discovered these two groups Of islands and
gave them the names they bear because of
a fancied resemblance to the scenery Of the
old Caledonia and the old Hebrides, he in
tended them to form part and parcel of the
British empire. But somebody blundered in
Downing street Just fifty years ago, and
Napoleon III, at the outset of his reign, was
allowed quietly to annex New Caledonia
Many thousands of French prisoners have
been sent there. A considerable number of
French prisoners escaped in boats from
New Caledonia to the shores of Queensland
and gave plenty of employment to the Aus
tralian police. On returning to Melbourne
Sir Edmund Barton stated that neither he
nor the imperial authorities were aware of
any intention on the part of the French
government to resume the sending of con-
victs to New Caledonia.
