$67. 80 has been contributed to the
new Oberlin hospital; lives of Miss
Willard and Miss Anthony have
been presented TO the college lib

to settlement house in Cleveland,
with a good prospect Of raising the
number 10 5000 before the season
closes. A colored union Of sixty
members has been organized in
Oberlin during the year, with an
efficient leader, Mrs. b. V. Jones
who is also a member of the older
union. Most of the achievements
of the past year are due to the con-

dozen damsels logged in their GLAD

late springs and early falls in Lon

The pallor of Londoners was also due
to the same cause, for the smoke eX

physical deficiencies of the poor to his

that poor girls were often toothless
while the snub noses and retreating
chins. so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light caused by
smoke.
