Doctorine In Ireland.

A physician in the out of-the-way
corners of Ireland has many oppor'
,%unities to laugh, though his amuse.
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith in the
doctor, a superstitious faith in his
drugs and appliances, but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr.
Michael MaeDonagh, in his Irish Life
and Character" gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A ~dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for a sick laborer, which h.
sent by the mans wife in a small
box, bearing the direction; The
whole to be taken Immediately"
On visiting the patient a little later
the doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had not helped him. He
asked the mans wife IL she had given
him the medicine.
81 did, DOCTOR" replied she, but
maybe the lid hasn't come off yet.
The sick man had swallowed box anG

Mrs. Murphy's husband was eX'
tremely i'll, and she consulted the ply

IIarper's Bazaar: The Massachusetts
bureau of statistics has Just issued re-
port on Sex in Industry" which Is In
structlve and also suggestive. In the last
ten years the number Of self supporting
women has more than doubled. So, alas!
has the number of female children at
work in the Bay state. At present, nearly
one-third of all the "gainful workers" of
Massachusetts are women
This large increase In industry for won-
en- does not follow the old lines. The
Massachusetts workers in factories have
only increased Is per cent; in domestic
service, so per cent. and in teaching, 30
per cent. Woman is aiming higher; she
wants place In business and the profess
slons, and she is getting 1t. There is an
increase of 40 per cent. in women profess
sional workers, and Of nearly so per cent.
in the number of women who are part
ners or stockholders in business enter
prises
Woman's first footing in Industry was
undesirable and lily paid job rather than
Massachusetts, at least, she has gotten
beyond that step on the ladder, and is
mounting steadily. Industrially, she is
succeeding. But there are some other
Massachusetts, figures, not included in the
Industrial statistics, that are not reassur-
ing on the sociological side. In these
same last ten years the marriage rate
has declined, in Massachusetts, from nine
teen to seventeen per thousand, while d.
vorces have increased from one in every
tWenty-eight marriages to one in every
eighteen; and the birth rate has fallen
perceptibly.
