GROWTH OF WoMEN'S CLUBS.

We spoke the other day of a project for the building of clubhouse in Madi- son avenue for women of fashionable society especially. as an indication of the larger sphere" into which even the most conservative women have entered during the last generation. Another project announced yesterday is much more directly indicative of that devel- opment.
 It is scheme for obtaining a large permanent home and headquarters for the Federated Women's clubs of New York. These are not women of fash ion distinctively. but rather women who are interested in the general femi- nine emancipation" of this period. and are wholly apart from the purely social aims of the women of fashion, who. for their own convenience and delectation, have undertaken 10 build the Madison avenIe clubhouse, and who resent, not unnaturally, the implication that they have any special or general sympathy
 'h what is known as the woman's
 movement.
Arizona republican., 1904-03-31

A general federation of women's clubs, incorporated in 1902. is com posed of hundreds of these associations, and has representative in the Club Woman. the very handsome magazine of which we have before spoken. The first of these clubs, the Sorosis, was organized in New York so long ago as 1868. Auxiliary to the General Fedora tion are many state federations of women's clubs. and the project for buy ing an imposing clubhouse as their center, to which we have referred, pro- The building it is proposed to pur- chase is of so large a price. half mil lion dollars. that this club movement must now be or large scale and very successful. If its project is carried out these affiliated associations will have a clubhouse which in size and ap- pointments will compare favorable with the most important of the mems clubs in town.
 It is d remarkable undertaking and demonstrtes anew the great progress made by women since the period. about fifty years ago, when amid derision and gloomy predictions. a few women start ed the movement to escape from the restraints of the traditional domestic seclusion to which feminine activities were then confined.

CURRENT COMMENT
ILLEeIBLE PRESCRIPTIONS.

The illegibility of many prescrip- | tions cannot, we fear, even in the eyes
 of the unlearned, be attributed entire ly to the unaccustomed symbols for
 drachms and ounces. Whether the handwriting of the medical profession
 as a body is worse than any other equally large body of men we do not
 know; certainly it's official writings as evidenced by prescriptions cannot compare with the clerical productions of the sister profession of the law. In | the latter case, of course. business doc uments are written largely by persons who have little other qualification than the possession of a clear handwriting. Obviously a medical man cannot carry
 his own clerk about with him to sub stitute a leisurely and legible writing for the hurried characters of the busy
 medical man. so that the performance
 of the lawyers office will always out
 shine the scrawl from a patients house.
 Yet the matter is really one admitting
 of such serious accidents that medical
 men should take special pains to write clearly.
 Some persons believe that prescrip-
 tions are badly written on purpose that they may convey no meaning to the pa
 tient; that his faith in the medicine, in fact, may rot be interfered with by
 too close a knowledge of it's constitu
 ents. Such an object, however, can be
 be equally we'll achieved, if it is ever desirable, by substituting elaborate
 chemical denominations for simple and
 more commonly used names of drugs.
 As matters are at present we have
 shrewd suspicion that it is often only the sagacity and carefulness of the
 druggist who dispenses a prescription
 which prevent the concocting of some
 thing far different from that which the
 hurried and illegible writing of the practitioner intended to convey.-The Lancet.

RULES FOR PRoLoNGING LIFE.

The question of the possible exten- sion of human life has recently had renewed consideration by British scientist. In a lecture delivered before the Royal college of Physicians, in London. Sir Hermann Weber, M. D.. F. R. c. P, propounded certain con- clusions which he had arrived at as to the best means of prolonglng life. The main points in his advice were com prised of these prescriptions:
 Moderation in eating, drinking and physical indulgence.
 Pure air out of the house and within.
 The keeping of every organ of the body. as far as possible, in constant working order.
 Regular exercise every day in all weathers; supplemented in may cases by breathing movements, and by walk ing and climbing tours.
 Going to bed early and rising early and restricting the hours of sleep to six or seven hours.
 Daily baths or ablutions according to individual conditions. cold or warm. or warm. followed by cold.
 Regular work and mental occupa- tion.
 Cultivation of placidity. cheerful ness and hopefulness of mind.
 Employment of the great power of the mind in controlling passions and nervous fear.
 strengthening the will in carrying out whatever is useful, and in check ing the craving for stimulants, anody- mes and other injurious agencies. Harpers Weekly.

to be built on one side of the canal.
 For the same money. however-one hundred and eighty millions-Russia should be able to lick Turkey and gain control of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Those straits beat any canal that can be devised by man, and what is more. they would give Russia an outlet to the south instead of the frozen north. Turkeys control of Constantinople and the Dardanelles constitutes a stumbling block in the way of civilization, and some day, pos sibly.
