How Women's Clubs Started.
From Myerson's American Family Mags

LlIlV
According to the history Of the wom-
ans club movement in America, the
first step taken by women was a SIM
pie protest against the use and abuse
of power on h part Of men, rough
up by fear or loathing to the point OF
desperation. Tbs woman had been the
one isolated fact in the universe. The
outlook Upon the world. the means of
education, the opportunities for adj
vancement had all been denied her.
The opportunity came with the awak-
ening of the communal spirit, the rec
ognition of the law of solidarity of in
t%erests, the sociologic advance, which
established a basis of equality among a
wide diversity of conditions and indi-
vidualities, and opportunities for all
capable Of using them. It was simply
opening. of a door, the stepping out Into
the freedom Of the outer air. and the
sWee sense of fellowship with the
whole universe that comes with liberty
and light. This new note, which meant
liberty. breadth and, unity, was struck
by the wO1nan's club. 1t means the
attainment Of the conscious freedom
OF the woman spirit and has been man
Tested first most strongly and most
widely In this country, because here
that Spirit has attained the largest
measure of freedom. The stendency of
association upon any broad human
basis Is TO destroy the caste spirit. and
this the club has done for women more
than any otho- influence that as vet
has come into existence,

But he. was not to be put off long,
and Lettie realized the fact. She wrote
mar n long at her story, absenting

the grass near the veranda, where her

Indians Were Giants.

From the Baltimore. American.
Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric Indians
nearly eight feet tall have been discovered
along the banks Of the Choptank river, in
this state, by employees of the Maryland
Academy of science. The remains are at
the academy's building on Franklin street,
where they are being articulated and re-
stored by the academy expert. John Wild
geon, negro. They will be placed on public
exhibition early in the fall.
The collection comprises light skeletons.
of which some are women and children.
They are not all complete, but all tho
larger bones nave been found. and there
is at least one complete specimen of an
adult man. The excavations We're in
progress for months, and the discovery is
considered one of the most important from
the standpoint of anthropology in Mary
land in a number Of years. The remains
are believed to be at least 1000 years old.
The formation of the ground above and the
location of the graves gives every evidence
of this. During the excavations the re-
mains of the camps of later Indians were
revealed. These consisted of oyster shell
heaps, charred and burned earth and frag-
ments of cooking utensils. These discov-
cries were made fully ten feet above the
graves which contained the gigantic skeIe-
tons.
There nave been other discoveries in
Maryland of remains of men of tremendous
stature. A skeleton was discovered at
Ocean City several years ago which rleas-
ured a fraction over Z feet 6 inches. This
skeleton was inferred in a regular burying
mound, and beads manufactured by white
men were found upon it. TIL dead Indian
was probably one Of the tribes mentioned
by Captain John Smith, who, in July, 16O8,
made a voyage of exploration Of the Ches-
apeake Bay.
At the point on the Choptank where the
remains were found there are steep shelv-
ing cliffs OF sand and gravel that extend to
the waters edge. Beneath the bank is a
layer of mari. The graves are in the sand
a few feet above the hard mari, and have
deposits Of between twenty and thirty feet
Of sand and gravel above them. A peculiar
feature Of the discovery is the charred
state of the bones Of the women and chill
dren. Those OF the men are untouched by
fire. This seems to indicate that the an
cient Indians cremated the bodies of all
except their warriors. The wet resting
place Of the bones for so many centuries
mas made them very soft and fragile, and
1t wa with the greatest difficulty that
they were removed.

Jewish Physician in History.
From the Medical Record.

An interesting survey of Jews as
members of our profession is to be
obtained from a little work entitled
"Judische Aerzte und ihr Einhus auf
das Judentum," Which has just been
issued by DIR. Simon Scherbel. One of
the most prominent of the earlier per-
sona2es mentioned is Chasdai, who
became a minister under the Caliph
Abdul-Rahlman Ill, and did much to
establish n position of the Jews
among the Moslems in Spain during
he tenth century. as we'll as to foster
the study of the Talnlud in that coun-
try. Jehuda Halevi, Who lived q hun
dred years later, was q physician who
was also the author of distinguished
practical and philosophical works. The
great Maimonides, of Cordova, is in
Guided among the list of physicians by
the author, who says that he created
what is almost a new Talmud, and al.
leges that Richard Occur de Leon,
wished to make him his court physi-
clan, In spite of the Popes Eugenius,
Nicholas and CaliXtus, commands that
Christians should not employ Jewish
| physicians.
In Spain for many years they were
practically the only practitioners OF
medicine. Somewhat later Pope Alex
ander vi. had as personal physician a
Jew, Bcnet de Lates, who ubseuuent
became attached to the court of Leo
x. The edict against Jewish physi-
CLANS, was finally raised by Sixtus x,
largely at the i%nstigation of two then
celebrated physicians, David de Pomis
and Ella Montalto. In the latter part
of the eighteenth century Mendel-
ssohn's efforts in behalf OF his COM
patriots We're ably seconded. by his
friend, the physician Marcus Hert, who
contributed much toward the elevation
of the Jews of Germany. In still more
recent times Ascher, Steinheim, Erter
and Johann Jacoby have been promi-
nent, and the author closes his emu
meration with the widely known names
of -Strassmann, Neumann, Baginsky
and Senator.

Mr.. Roger Whitney, of whom Mrs.

would GUST him if they could.
1t came about naturally, as such
things do. that Mr.. Whitney was the
escort of Mrs. Lands and her pretty
niece on all occasions. If they wished
to spend the morning on the beach, he
carried amp stool and cushions; il
they carried their work to the lawn, he
read or talked to them; he took them
for drives, and generally made him
self pleasant. AS the days Went by, he

"Ah, yes,' she said slyly; ut depends
on whether you consider yourself the
bird or the worrl,"
Lettie decided to begin the writing of
her story While she had scenery and
people at first hand. MI. Whitney was
developing into an ideal character for a
light novel, and it was easier to write
while impressions We're fresh. She Of
ten took her note book with her on their
little excursions to transcribe any tell
Ing bit that came to her. Mr.. Whit
ney's curiosity was sometimes aroused
as he watched her writing, but as her
notes were written in shorthand, his
repeated inquiries were not rewarded.
One day, returning from a row, from
which Mrs. Lands had been detained by
a headache, q silence fell upon h two,
such a silence as sometimes comes be-
tween two people who feel thmselves

to entertain is not required. Mr.. Whit

THE EGG PRODUCING HEN.

There is much controversy going on at
present over the identical build of the
hen that produces the greatest number of
81 during the year. Each poultryman
has his WI idea of what this form should
be so that it is safe to say the argument
is less important han we nave been led to
believe. h Standard. the guide book Of
breeders, prescribed a certain typical form
and 1t is safe to be guided by this, at least
to the extent of the size nnd weight Of a
bird at a given age. Beyond this it is Sc
riously questioned If there is much in the
idea that the hens producing the greatest
number of eggs in a year are of a specified
formation. We Ia worked on the plan
of selecting our stock as nearly to the re-
quirements Of the Standard as was pos
sible with fowls not bred for the show
room. Then t. any were plainly under
size or showed any delicacy Of constitu-
ton they were discarded. We. have tried
to breed SO that h relation was not too
close and from stock that had an ancesty

EXCITEMENT ON 0ENTER GREEN
Girls Claim They Were InsuIted During
X. of G. Festivities.

Some little excitement was aroused
on the center green last evening as the
crowd was leaving at the close Of the
band concert. There were no arrests
because the culprits were able to escape
in the crowd.
According to the story of some girls
who were prominent in the affair, they
had been tormented and insulted by
Italians who were among the crowds
One girl struck her tornentor and that
began the trouble. Patrolman Hope
was the only police officer in the vicin-
ity at the time, and he rushed into the
crowd and forced his way to the scene
of the difficulty. He made a grab at
one of the Italians, but the latter man
aged to escape. The girls were sent to
the central station, followed by mob
of curious persons. From there they
were taken throughe the city hall out
on to Church street so as to avoid the
crowd, and sent to their homes. They
belonged to respectable families.
Meanwhile the people who crowded
Court street from the police station to
Church street were dispersed by Ser
gaant Gibson.
