such as law and medicine, or will take up
the practical study of economics which has
interested during recent years sol many wo-
men who have labored to give themselves
the advantage of a college education.
The influence of these college-bred women
has been for the good of their sex, and of
all those with whom they came into con-
tact ever since women began to go into
professional life, and it is too late now to
question the value of their services 20 the
world. Women doctors may not become the
most eminent in their profession. but they
can accomplish 81 eat good in the treatment
OF women, more especially. Women lawyers
may not make the greatest juriStS, but they
are able to be of service to the defrauded
or wronged members of their own sex The
achievements of those who have taken up
the calling of practical sociology are among
the most notable which are to be put to the
credit of the women college graduates in
this country.
Perhaps the larger number of these wo-
men who come from the colleges are merely
preparing themselves for the places they
are to take In the home. They study for
four years the same curriculum that their
brothers and possibly their husbands pass
through merely to make themselves more
fitted to shine in the society to which they
will belong after college course is over. And
It Is to them that we may possibly look for
the greatest effect on American manners
in the broader sense of the word. 1t is

Automatical Billiards.

Commercial Agent Harris of Eihenstock
Germany, furnishes an item that will prove
interesting to billiard players as well as
manufacturers. He writes:
Il saw an automatical billiard in a Ger
man cafe recently which was a novelty in
many respects. BY dropping a small coin
into slot the balls were produced auto
maticaiiy from hidden pockets. and at the
end of fifteen minutes they disappear from
the surface of the table. In cafes and res
taurants this arrangement does away with
the services of a walter and assures the
landlord a true account of the time spent
I'm playing. as well as the proper pay for
the same. The billiard is primarily intended
for use by young people

Punjab during 1904 from plague amounted
